Error 98 and forever boot

[sogood-ood]

What happened?

I tried installing the zip via sideload. It didn't work out - error 98 came out. When I try to restart my phone and enter the operating system, there is an infinite download.
There are system boot logs.

Version

1.3.1-beta

Android version

15

Device

Oneplus 8

Custom ROM

LineageOS 22.1

[ale5000-git]

Currently the latest beta is a bit outdated, so I suggest to use the latest alpha until I release a new beta.

Could you please try it and report back?

[sogood-ood]

Oops... misclick

No problem. I already tried to install the alpha version, but it didn't work (that's why i installed the beta version)
I tried again to get logs

[ale5000-git]

It is very odd issue.
Could you please post the result of this?
adb shell "stat -f -c '%f * %S' -- '/system'"

PowerShell 7.4.6
PS Z:\platform-tools> .\adb shell "stat -f -c '%f * %S' -- '/system'" // I first entered the command when I was in the OS

[ale5000-git]

Could you please try this?

It contains additional debug code and log is enabled by default.
During flash it should say Creating log: with a path.
After it is ended, please take debug-a5k.log from that path and then post it here.

Edit: Link removed.

[sogood-ood]

here you go
feeling like a lab rat lol

debug-a5k.log

[ale5000-git]

From your manual command:
900379 * 4096 = 3687952384 bytes (3.43 GB)

In the log (from stat):
Free space: 19481 * 4096 = 79794176 bytes (76.10 MB)

In the log (from df):

Filesystem           Type            Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/block/dm-7      ext4           15.2T     16.0E     15.2T 100% /mnt/system

So => available: 15.2 terabyte ???

Some tool may not work correctly.
What is the real amount of free space in your system partition?

[sogood-ood]

[sogood-ood]

I don't understand how this is even possible? Each method shows a different amount of free space, but none of them are even close to being correct.
and, yeah, I don't know anything about it. I just want the push notifications to work correctly on LOS 22.1

[ale5000-git]

The storage displayed in Android settings isn't the system partition but the whole device internal memory anyway I'm trying to change some code to get better results but I need some time.

[ale5000-git]

@sogood-ood
Thanks for the tests, I think we are near fixing it.

Could you please try this and post the debug-a5k.log?

The storage displayed in Android settings isn't the system partition but the whole device internal memory

then, uh. where do I find the information you need?

[ale5000-git]

I usually use this app: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/bulent-akpinar/link2sd/link2sd-4-3-4-release/
then in the app the 3 dot menu then Storage Info.

In the emulator I got this for example:

This one should most likely be fixed.

By the way, I have a question - what about installation leftovers? I mean, I've been trying to install this zip for the same number of times now and it would be weird if it didn't leave garbage.
Maybe you need to clean out the trash before installing?
One more reason - in the logs, during the installation there is a line "first installation - no", so maybe I should do a clean install?

[sogood-ood]

If that's not a problem, I'll do what you're asking.

[ale5000-git]

The installer already clean every time the things in the system partition.
Every time you run it, it do:

1. Remove conflicting GApps and apps installed by its previous installations
2. Reinstall it

The "first installation: no" is mainly to clean updates and data of installed apps (they are in the data partition).
This need to be done only the first time.
You can also clean them if you do a factory reset.

[sogood-ood]

hmmm... only one thing bothering me is the infinite booting that caused me to open this issue. i had to reinstall the latest update for LOS to fix the problem
any ideas?

and yes, here you go

debug-a5k.log

(I tried not installing any additional packages)

[ale5000-git]

The infinite booting can be caused by the incomplete installation of the zip.

From the latest log:

Disk space required: 76.13 MB
Free disk space: 76.10 MB (76.10 MB)

You miss just: 30.72KB

Try mounting the system partition in the recovery, and then run (they list the preinstalled apps):

adb shell "ls /mnt/system/system/priv-app"
adb shell "ls /mnt/system/system/app"

And then post the result here, so I can see if there is a preinstalled app that isn't useful and can be removed.

[sogood-ood]

did I understand correctly that I have to take these steps?

1. .\adb reboot recovery
2. click "mount/unmount system"
3. your commands
4. ???

if so, I have this:
ls: /mnt/system/app(priv-app): No such file or directory/

[ale5000-git]

Yes, but if the recovery mount it as system, then the commands are:

adb shell "ls /system/priv-app"
adb shell "ls /system/app"

or

adb shell "ls /system/system/priv-app"
adb shell "ls /system/system/app"

[sogood-ood]

strong no
I tried it without the “mount/unmount system” function.
I tried different combinations of the commands you suggested
the same thing: “No such file or directory”.

[sogood-ood]

Maybe it's some kind of system protection? Because pull and push commands work fine even if the file is "not" in that folder.
Like when I wanted to pull the log file. When I tried to see if it was in the /sdcard/ folder, it told me it wasn't even though the pull was working fine.

[ale5000-git]

If it doesn't work try to unmount from the function and then mount manually (this command is only for your device):
adb shell "mount '/dev/block/dm-7' '/mnt/system'"

then:

adb shell "ls /mnt/system/system/priv-app"
adb shell "ls /mnt/system/system/app"

at the end:
adb shell "umount '/mnt/system'"

[sogood-ood]

that's works. results right here:

[ale5000-git]

Sorry for the delay but I haven't had time yet, I'll reply tomorrow.

[sogood-ood]

don't worry, it's fine.

[ale5000-git]

that's works. results right here:

Unfortunately there is nothing that can be removed but I have optimized the lib selection code so now it should take less space.

[ale5000-git]

@sogood-ood
New build with some additional fixes.

Could you please try it and post the debug-a5k.log?

Edit: Link removed.

[sogood-ood]

I'm busy right now, so I'll replay today or tomorrow

[sogood-ood]

will there be new tests? I think that I will install microg in another way and will no longer be able to test your build

[ale5000-git]

@sogood-ood

As of now I have likely fixed all issues with space detection and squeezed all needed space to the minimum.
Unfortunately it still isn't enough on some devices that left a very little free space in the system partition.

For the future I also plan to allow to install it in another partition (like /product) but this will require many changes and time so it won't be in the next beta, but most likely in the one after that.

For now, if possible, it would be nice if you could try one last build: https://share.freepro.com/47dc7be5-0678-44d6-b164-9672bfd7aad1

@ale5000-git

honestly, I don't mind helping further. what you're doing is important...
but what's important to me right now is that apps work properly, as well as notifications. i'm tired of missing important information because they don't work.
if there was a way that when you install microg, it would register apps normally in cloud notifications, otherwise it happens randomly somehow.
i'm not sure yet if i want to uninstall the microg i've done now.

I'm a little tired, uh.
dealing with kitsune mask, safetynet, modules for lsposed and other stuff... it's getting a little annoying.

It would be great if you have a solution to my problem, otherwise I don't want to mess around with microg again just yet (maybe later when I get some rest).

[ale5000-git]

if there was a way that when you install microg, it would register apps normally in cloud notifications, otherwise it happens randomly somehow.

What do you mean? They usually register normally.
Could you explain this registration problem please?

For the other things you can also wait for version v1.3.3 where I should have solved the space problem.

[sogood-ood]

What do you mean? They usually register normally. Could you explain this registration problem please?

nvm, I was able to deal with the problem, and on your topic..... I will refrain from installing for now.
I want to live in peace for a while :)
