Thanks for your response.

I’m using a MacBook Pro with macOS 10.12.6

Ah that might be issue, I am not sure if readlink have -f option on MacOS.. let me investigate.

https://stackoverflow.com/a/4031502

can you change all instances of readlink with greadlink in the script?

Thanks

I exchanged the readlink with greadlink in the script. The behaviour of my Nexus 5X is the same. After my 5X did boot into Android 6.0.1 and has shown the screen for the PIN of my SIM card, my console asks for a password. I tried 1234 with no success, but I think something went wrong with the script.

Code: Select all

++ greadlink -f cache/pm-rootfs-latest.tar.gz
+ ./rootstock-touch-install /Users/joerg/PlasmaMobile/pm-flashtool/cache/rootfs/pm-rootfs-20170908-111304.tar.gz cache/bullhead/latest/system.img cache/bullhead/latest/boot.img

Two different things,

1) Script asks for sudo password not for the pin (we run fastboot and adb commands under sudo because otherwise it seems some people have issue with udev rules and all)
2) I've no idea however how you need the password for SIM..

Thanks so much for your assistance. I appreciate the time, you invest in that community. I will evaluate, whether Plasma Mobile could be an appropriate base system for product development.

No I my installation seems to be successful. I resume for macOS users:

• Reset your Nexus 5X with the factory image MTC20K and the advice on https://developers.google.com/android/images?hl=en
• Install greadlink with

  Code: Select all

  brew install coreutils

• Replace „readlnk“ by „greadlink“ in the script „pm-flash“
• execute the script „pm-flash“ with sudo

These are the last lines of my console output:

Code: Select all

++ greadlink -f cache/pm-rootfs-latest.tar.gz
+ ./rootstock-touch-install /Users/joerg/PlasmaMobile/pm-flashtool/cache/rootfs/pm-rootfs-20170908-111304.tar.gz cache/bullhead/latest/system.img cache/bullhead/latest/boot.img

Although the last command wasn’t executed, my Nexus 5X booted with Plasma Mobile after I forced a reboot manually in TWCP.

Some questions: It is true, that neither the camera nor the phone works? The phone didn’t ask me for the PIN of my SIM card. So it seems that Plasma Mobile doesn’t support the basic phone features yet. Another reason could be, that the script didn’t finish successfully.

I did not have the readlink problem (am on linux) but I am stuck in a very similar state like joergw - I suppose you cannot connect via adb and cannot start the system into the foreground with lxc either as we are supposed to just like me.
