Something is going VERY wrong when you try to wipe data.  Flash without it and I bet it'll be successful.  Please try.

[johnlgalt]

Roger that - flashing the Taimen, then will try with Shamu again.

 

But if it works, it's gonna be an issue badly.  Because anyone moving from, say, a ROM to stock, or from rooted to stock non rooted, will probably want to wipe....

[SamuriHL]

There's more than one way to wipe.    Patience.  I just need to know what to focus on fixing.

[johnlgalt]

Sure enough....

[SamuriHL]

Thank you.  Hang on.  I'll give you a new build to play with.

[SamuriHL]

New version is up.  Be careful with it.  I didn't test it and it wasn't meant to be released like this.  I don't know if the data wipe will work so you'll need to test it carefully.

[johnlgalt]

Testing on Shamu only.  After dinner.

[johnlgalt]

And watching Deadpool 2 lol.

 

Back now.

[SamuriHL]

lol.  Let me know what your results are with this one.

[SamuriHL]

It won't boot after that?

[johnlgalt]

Boom!  Success!

 

Now to do the Hog OTA to latest for Shamu

[johnlgalt]

It won't boot after that?

 

Silly dev.  This is Shamu - it only takes about 2 minutes to boot on a normal day.  Patience....

[SamuriHL]

Well you said bootlooping shamu so I didn't want to assume.

[johnlgalt]

The bootlooping was from when I used the previous ver of HoG to try to flash stock over Bliss, where the wipe data routine was fsacked.  It caused bootloops on both devices.

 

Using the latest HoG I flashed the second to last factory image over the bootlooping device to see if it would work.  It did.

[johnlgalt]

If you wait too long to acknowledge the Android debug authorization request, HoG won't recognize the device in time.  Not a big deal though.

 

Flashing OTA.

[SamuriHL]

Ah, ok.  Yea I told you there is more than one way to skin this kill data cat.  If you confirm the OTA, then the only thing left is to turn this into a beta build.  But to do that requires a fair bit of work that I may not get to tonight.  I shall definitely get to it tomorrow though.  I'd release it earlier but I know how much the current work I've done on the release would piss you off.

[SamuriHL]

If you wait too long to acknowledge the Android debug authorization request, HoG won't recognize the device in time.  Not a big deal though.

 

Flashing OTA.

 

Yes.  And there's literally nothing I can do about that.  It'll time out and the HoG will just assume you don't have anything plugged in.  That's user error not HoG. 

[johnlgalt]

I was looking at fastboot -h and saw the different functions there.  I initially got curious when I saw some of the functions you were using.  I saw that erase function and was going to use it myself for my Shamu if I couldn't get the normal flash over Bliss ROM to work, because no matter what anyone says, TWRP is buggy AF.  I never remember having issues before with previous devices, but it has screwed things up more than once with both devices here.

 

Hell, I might still write up my own little batch file for use with wiping my devices anyway.

 

But, yeah, it lets you do a lot more than just fastboot boot and fastboot reboot.  lol.
