Esp Flash Download Tool Ubuntu !!TOP!!
Melony Holden
I had used this software tool some time back to test . I think it locks the phone after flashing - not sure about it. This is the one unfortunate scenario where it helps to have a windows PC nearby with MiFlash installed
I am not saying you are wrong - sorry if I was not clear in my post. I was also able to flash the ROM with the tool - what I wanted to know is if it provided you an option to keep the device unlocked. I remember it had locked my phone after the flashing and I had to again run adb to unlock it.
The error (seems) my guess, to me to be in your flashtool and its relationship with Lubuntu. I am not at a PC to double check this but in Debian I required a very recent kernel, which I did not try very hard to acquire.
Hey, I'm looking into exploring NHOS after downsizing my mining rig to 6x GPUs, which with my motherboard allows me to use legacy boot. I installed the NHOS Flash Tool without problems, but trying to run it does next to nothing. It pulls up the expected UAC prompt, and a process appears in Task Manager for a few moments, but then it disappears. I've reinstalled the flash tool several times, with reboots between each attempt. So far, no dice.
It would be nice to use the flash tool for a bit more convenience, but at this point I'm just going to use Rufus or Balena Etcher. But for future reference for myself and others, is this issue something that is already known/has a solution? Thanks in advance!
Many years ago, I was one of the people swept in the hope and euphoria that Ubuntu Phone would makeit big, and become a respectable rival to the established players. I even ran a contest, whereby readers of me site could try to win anUbuntu Phone - this was meant to be Edge, alas, that didn't happen. Long story short, I did use thephone for a while, but then it turned out to be somewhat of a chore, and after a while, I turned my Ubuntu Phone into an Android one. Firmware flash, done. However, even so, apartfrom occasionally powering it on to test connectivity as part of my Linux reviews, I wasn't reallyusing the Aquaris for anything serious. The Android operating system does offer more functionality thanUbuntu Phone did, but with an old image and lackluster performance, the Aquaris slid into obscurity.But not into oblivion.
To get OTA-12, one must have a running (and supported) Ubuntu Phone. If you happen to have Android,then you must first "unlock" the phone by installing an old Android image, and then upgrade the phoneto OTA-12. The latter can be done conveniently with the official UBports installer software. The formerrequires a separate firmware flashing utility.
So you remember what I had to do last time? I had to use the SP Flash Tool ... erm, tool. I had todo the same thing here. The official UBports documentation outlineswhat I had to do: grab the ROM image, install SP Flash Tool, upgrade the phone, then set up UBportsInstaller, and upgrade the phone once more - to OTA-12.
I then extracted the library, and added it to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH - btw, the flash_tool.sh scriptthat runs the flash utility is a shell script that sets up the environment for the actual software. Butthis didn't help either.
Ok. Luckily the board is not electrically bricked, as far as I could tell. I waited for a week and retried to use the official RK USB eMMC flash tool (press MaskROM key first before plugging in the power cable. I find disconnecting the HDMI cable seems to help) and it worked again. The official BPi image Ubuntu desktop 22.04 image might be the problem as when I flashed on the desktop 20.04 image, and it worked. I am typing up this post on the RPi-Pro 2, in case you are all wondering.
By the way, this tool works on windows as well. If you intend to use it consider you'll need to install WinPython or something else. It seems to me that it would be a more complicated solution. Maybe I'll add it in the near future.
Flashing from a native PC is always recommended. Sometimes software can be upgraded/updated without flashing, but often flash will be necessary. A VM is not officially supported, but if you can manage to force USB passthrough to always reach the VM, and if the VM has sufficient ext4 filesystem available, then it can work.
So far as upgrading packages goes, it depends on the package. Many parts of this are just simple Ubuntu and not related to the specific hardware. All of those parts tend to be no different than an Ubuntu PC for update. However, the parts related to the GPU or boot content tend to require NVIDIA versions. Especially with regard to the GPU there are libraries related to CUDA or GPU-accelerated functions, and those libraries tend to be version locked. When version locked there might be minor releases or patch releases which can be upgraded with a simple Ubuntu apt command, but major releases tend to be tied to flashing with a new L4T release. The reason for this is that the GPU is integrated directly to the memory controller (an iGPU), whereas the regular software one would expect to use from apt tends to require PCI versions of a discrete GPU (dGPU). Mainline CUDA and other GPU-specific software tends to require PCI mechanisms for detection and configuration. As an example, one would not be able to dual install a version 10.x and 11.x CUDA on a Jetson, but you can on a PC. One cannot migrate from version 10.x on a Jetson to 11.x with a simple apt command, and flashing tends to be required.
So I am coming to the conclusion that, if I want to be able to re-flash (which I do, unless somebody from Nvidia indicates that there are plans for an update mechanism that does not require host-driven flashing), it would be safer to run the Ubuntu host natively. To do that, I have two options: obtain a cheap mini-PC (which I would rather not have to spend money on) or try to boot Ubuntu from an external SSD attached to one of my Macs (none of them have enough free space to create a partition on the internal SSD).
Banana Pi M5 is a new generation single board computer design , use Amlogic S905X3 Quad-Core Cortex-A55 (2.0xxGHz) Processor. Mali-G31 MP2 GPU with 4 x Execution Engines (650Mhz). support 4GB LPDDR4 and 16G eMMC flash. it have 4 USB 3.0 port,1GbE LAN port, IR Reciver, Audio Jack, 1 HDMI Out and USB type-c power supply.
Banana Pi M2Pro is the same SOC with M5, but different board layout. 2GB LPDDR4 and 16G eMMC flash, 2 USB 3.0 port,1GbE LAN port, rtl8821cu usb wifi/bt onboard, IR Reciver, 1 HDMI Out, 1 MicroUSB port, DC power supply.
[deleted] For my part, I installed GrapheneOS on Arch Linux with Sway and had no difficulties. It seems OP was able to install GrapheneOS with no difficulties, either (though they have not said this, it is implied); it's the Google Web Flashing tool they're having issues with. If Google released their flashing tool under a free license, it would be easier for developers to investigate why the tool was not working, but alas.
The GrapheneOS factory images flash a non-stock Android Verified Boot key which needs to be erased to fully revert back to a stock device state. Before flashing the stock factory images and before locking the bootloader, you should erase the custom Android Verified Boot key to untrust it
Caution: If you have Android Debug Bridge (adb) installed on your machine, stop the adb service with the command below before proceeding as the service interferes with the flashing process.
Equal2024 @Thermos4940 Though this is unlikely to be related to the issue you're facing, make sure you've removed the GrapheneOS key before using the flashing tool; text from GrapheneOS web installer:
The use of aml-flash-tool is deprecated. We no longer provide aml-compatiable Android image. Existing user should switch to raw image format to install Android on their Radxa Zero. Follow this guide only if the 3rd party image is specifically calling for this method.
swiflash is a platform-specific tool used to flash images into WP/AR productsthrough the USB port. This is a recovery tool that can be used even ifthe device is not booting anymore (due to corrupted configuration files in the root FS, badly customized Linux kernel or Legato framework, etc.).
Odin Flash Tool or Samsung Odin Downloader is a utility software developed and used internally by Samsung. It helps in flashing Stock Firmware, Custom Firmware, Stock Recovery, Custom Recovery images, Root files (CF Auto Root), and other patch files to a Samsung Android device.
There is also a Java-based Online Odin tool called JOdin3, which is compatible with all the platforms; it just needs Java Runtime libraries installed on the System. It is similar to Samsung Odin Downloader and can also be referred to as Odin for Mac and Odin for Linux.
It than install the ubuntu-device-flash which is what does all the heavy lifting and getting the image on the device. I also install adb, which is Android Debug Bridge application which is needed to manage the device and get access to the internal bits of the device, and fastboot which manages the device when its in the bootloader.
This document explains the installation procedure Flash Tool Lite for Windows*, Linux* and Mac* hosts. The tool is used to flash the firmware on Intel Edison boards, but will expand to other IoT products in the future. Formerly, this tool was used in working with Intel based phones and tablets for updates and now has been adapted for use on IoT products.
This GUI based tool makes it much easier to manage firmware, and other updates, even your own. It is possible to customize the install, and include packages with the firmware update. Rather than working in a command line interface, you can flash boards in a much easier fashion. Additionally, if you wish to use the functionality of the tool but within a command line, that is explained below.
