damn that sucks,.... am i missing something? why would i want 2 kernals for one rom? lol cheers for reply anyways.
i think thats what us flashers "hehe" would love the most, able to try new roms without overwriting the current.

You could use it for custom kernel testing if you were a kernel developer (but this can be done even without flashing the kernel at all with fastboot boot command).
The main reason for dualboot in Skrillax_CZ's bootloaders, at least for now, is to allow to boot into Linux distro instead of Android without sacrificing the recovery, as earlier method for dualbooting Linux was to replace recovery image with second OS kernel. With dualboot bootloader you still have recovery and you can select the OS you want to boot.

gotchya i actually yeah see the point test a kernal without making the device unusable unless you nvflash...... im a big duuuh sometimes
@chismay: with modified bootloader you actually can do anything to boot partition without worying that you won't be able to restore it later without nvflash. Modified bootloader gives you fully usable fastboot where you can do some cool operations (all based on latest v8):
To flash any kernel to boot partition (primary kernel - usually for android):
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
where boot.img is a file with kernel image with initrd.
To flash secondary kernel you can do
Code:
fastboot flash secboot kernel.img
You can of course flash new recovery with:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
But most of all, for testing new kernels and recoveries, you can boot any image without flashing into tab:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
where boot.img is any bootable image in Android format (Android kernel image, Linux kernel image or recovery image). This works by downloading the image into tablet's RAM and the booting it from there.
Most of the tutorials and support I keep finding are only available for Windows, is there a way I can flash the TWRP image with ADB in the terminal instead?
there is a way to Flash TWRP via Linux
sorry for the delay, it's been a long time since I logged in, and then just stumbled upon it.
if you are still interested there is a way :
look this for jOdin : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/utility-odin-linux-jodin3-casual-t3777030
or use this : Heimdall it's forlk of odin.
and finaly, if you do not want to break your head too much to install these tools you can use the following distribution everything is ready to be used, just boot in livecd and voila .

Hey guys.. Amidst this glorious pandemic I decided to break out my Mom's old 2010 Mac Mini from the closet and install Ubuntu 12.04 on it. Anyways, I'm trying to root my (obviously unlocked) Pixel 4. However, my problem is that I keep getting
Code:
FAILED (remote: Failed to write to partition Not Found)
finished. total time: 1.676s
After doing a bunch of research and troubleshooting from forums across the net, other people with this error code found solutions by updating their adb and fastboot. HOWEVER, the machine I am running on is a 32-bit, and Ubuntu discontinued support for 32-bits after android-sdk_r23.0.1-linux..
To conclude, I can't flash boot because my adb and fastboot files are "out of date" but I can't update because those are the last supported files for my machine.
I am coming to you guys for help to see if anybody knows:
a) a workaround
b) of a later version of Linux adb/fastboot supported on 32-bit.
c) anything else of value to help me here
Thanks!
Why are you using ubuntu?
It's such a simple procedure to root your bootloader unlocked pixel 4 on windows.
Use a windows computer then boot into fastboot and flash a clean build of the recent update. Then install magisk, patch a boot image, flash the patched image to both partitions and you're done.

Oh, yes, I forgot to mention that haha. My Windows 10 has an awful virus that won't let me open command prompt or task manager. I could wipe and reinstall but I haven't gotten around to it. Part of my enjoys linux more anyways.
Hiya
I ran into the same thing. I had to boot into recovery and use adb sideload to send the factory image from the google website. I've done it on both my linux box and my macbook
Hope that helps

lgup, as far as i know is the flash rom tool windows users make a .img flash to a v20 (most lg's)
so for those adventurers using linux what tool do we use to flash .img files to a firmware update?
i am trying to get a TWRP flash twrp-3.5.0_9-0-h918 onto my phone.
flashboot is there but absolutly unresponsive. except for
fastboot devicesShows connected devices on your PC/Laptopfastboot rebootTo reboot your device
commands
those work fine.
all i get is flashboot interface / and / firmware update interface.
pleas advise.
I have a Xiaomi Redmi note 7 and I want to unlock the bootloader, however the custom tool on linux to do so (XiaoMiTool V2) is no longer updated and doesn't work.
I have yet to try to install a windows VM and install unlocking tools there but if there is an easier solution I'm all for it
