**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Feb 21 02:59:57 2019 Feb 21 10:26:43 I am trying to re-flash my Debian/Android config (it worked last time) but it gets stuck at 610M/26% through the base firmware - any suggestions? Feb 21 10:41:21 Sorry, I am ajwillia-ms on a more stable connection :) Feb 21 10:41:30 is anyone aware of flash issues and how you might work around them? Feb 21 10:41:39 I think at the moment I have a bricked Gemini Feb 21 11:22:48 I have updated everything - validated the flash tool, drivers and fimwares Feb 21 11:23:52 (on Windows) Feb 21 11:27:19 Sorry I can’t seem to find an IRC client that will actually stay connected to freenode! Feb 21 11:48:11 andy_xyz: I'm using HexChat without problems, have you tried it? Feb 21 11:58:39 no, I’ll give it a shot Feb 21 12:29:52 Update: I tried to work around the issue with a linux only scatter. When doing this it gets to 1.20G/42% through the linux image upload then hangs Feb 21 12:31:03 so… different but no better Feb 21 12:31:32 probably no coincidence that the linux file gets pretty much exactly twice as much as the android file - but I have no idea what that means Feb 21 13:09:07 After 30 mins the flash command times out “STATUS_DOWNLOAD_EXCEPTION (0xC0050003)” - does that mean anything? Feb 21 19:28:07 andy_xyz 30mins of flash? That's crazy... Try flashing partitions 1at a time... Do them one after the other... This sounds like an issue with your USB connection Feb 21 19:30:35 Just google "issue flashing mediatek device" and you'll see you're not the only one having issues with flashing Feb 21 19:32:57 For me flashing on Ubuntu 18.04 just doesn't work using the stock Linux kernel... I have to go back to an ancient 3.10 kernel to make it work Feb 21 19:35:50 Just try various versions, different platforms, other USB cables... Might all make a difference Feb 21 19:58:22 I could flash on Arch before, but with unmodified SP FlashTool, not Planet one **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Feb 22 02:59:56 2019
