EFIDroid (multiboot) for the Fairphone 2

Participate Development
71

Good idea.
I checked with Fairphone Open OS 16.11.0 and 16.08.0 (flashed with fastboot), but it always ends up the same: EFIDroid sets itself up without a problem, I can flash an OS with TWRP into the second OS “slot” without a problem … but the second OS does not boot, be it Fairphone OS 1.11.1 or 1.12.0 or Fairphone Open OS 17.02.0, they always just reboot back into EFIDroid.

Can I check something via command line in TWRP to find out what’s going wrong?

By the way … While older Fairphone OS OTA versions are still up for download, I didn’t find such a page for Fairphone Open OS, only one with older binary blobs …

  1. I don’t know if 17.02 works; I don’t really have time to test right now
  2. Yes, you can use adb shell from TWRP (if it’s not working properly, use my TWRP build found somewhere in this forum^^ - hopefully soon official TWRP).
  3. I have nearly all FP Open versions in a directory on my harddrive. I can send you one if you want.
73

Thanks, I just checked out version 16.09 (downloadable from the guide), but same old … doesn’t boot as second OS on my phone.
Will check out Fairphone OS 1.9.3 as (Edit) second OS and Fairphone Open 16.09 as (Edit) first OS next, but up until now the results are so much the same with any attempt, I’m not getting my hopes up :slight_smile: …

Edit: Yep, same result. The second OS is always just rebooting back into EFIDroid. How can this work for some people on the same hardware? UNFAIR :smiley: …

74

I think there’s a bug in EFIDroid, new installations don’t seem to work (For me neither, same problem).
@z3ntu: Is there a possibility to downgrade EFIDroid? :wink:

I forgot to ask a newbie question until now, maybe I just failed to read this info somewhere … Are those OTA update files I’m supposed to flash to get a second OS even sure to include a complete (in the sense of bootable) system? I mean … the Fairphone Open OS download page calls them upgrade, the Fairphone OS download page calls them update.
Could there be something missing (perhaps theoretically or in the future)?

76

The files included on the pages you linked to are all full install packages. However, if you install updates through the Fairphone Updater, they will be delta updates.

Thanks for making clear, that just intensifies my impression that there’s a lot of meaningful thought put into the Fairphone overall :slight_smile: .

It looks as if I have got much bigger problems with battery drainage after I have installed EFIDroid. Any experiences in this?

Look at the 184% at ‘Sonstiges’!
Therefore now have uninstalled the app again. But still the EFIDroid screen shows up after every reboot although the app doesn’t exist anymore.
What do I have to do to get rid of it?

79

There’s an “uninstall” button in the efidroid app. Or you could flash th eoriginal boot.img and recovery.img to the respective partitions via the bootloader/fastboot.

I tried to install Dualboot with EFIDroid FP OOS 17.02 and FP Standard OS 17.04.8. But I failed. Can someone help?

This is what I tried:

But this failed with this log

Unfortunately, that seems to be where we are currently with EFIDroid :frowning: .

That seems to be the problem. I’m not using FP OS myself so I don’t have experience with it but I looked into a OTA package once and it checked the build fingerprint of the recovery and not the fingerprint of the installed OS… So actually an issue with TWRP+FP OS I think.

So maybe I should try to get in EFIDroid boot into the fastboot of the alternate OS and flash the new recovery shipped with the Android 6 FP OS. Where do I get it?

By the way, I personally am also not interested in the standard FP OS but very much interested in dual boot the new UBports ubuntu touch OS. There I try also to attract them helping to get dual boot with Android working.
@z3ntu Thanks for your first steps for EFIDroid Ubuntu Touch support which I also mentioned in the UBports community. I whish you would step in again helping this new UT approach to dual boot.

Hello there,

did you manage to make your approach work, @bastos77 ?

So maybe I should try to get in EFIDroid boot into the fastboot of the alternate OS and flash the new recovery shipped with the Android 6 FP OS. Where do I get it?

I was so happy to find Efidroid and this thread because it promised to finally solve my problems with apps demanding google services in order for them to work. Stupid Carsharing apps like Car2go, DriveNow, Cambio and merging ones like Free2Move etc. request it no matter what. No workaround afaik, although there is a promising but, as of now, seemingly premature module over at github called Anymaps.

I hoped to get a setup similar to the one @paulakreuzer had posted above - a working FP OOS (fp2-sibon-17.04.0) and a secondary FP OS for unavoidable GMS purposes, but it fails to install.
After solving the /system partition issue, I tried the following GMS versions:

  1. FP2-gms-17.04.8-manual.zip
  2. FP2-gms76-1.13.0-manual.zip
  3. FP2-gms65-1.7.0-manual.zip

but none of them worked. Would be great to have a solution soon.

@z3ntu Thanks for the FP2 port nonetheless. Highly appreciated!

Cheers,
Nix

Thanks :blush:​​​​​​

I have not tried. I decided to hop into cold water ans installed the UBports Ubuntu touch as daily driver. Using it since three days and am more than happy!

Does any tried to run one of the fairphones’s OSs and Lineage in parallel?

I don’t think anyone is running EFIDroid atm at all since it won’t install with any recent OS version.

I used it with lineage for a short time so it should be working alright.

@z3ntu have you ever re-installed EFIDroid since March? Since then it seems nobody was able to make EFIDroid work from scratch (or people who were successful simply didn’t post about it). I tried it with Open OS and FP OS L/M.

@all: Did anyone recently manage to make EFIDroid work?
