[ROM] tried to install ROM_ABROAD_V2.4-ota-eng

[UbuntuUser84]

Hi everyone,

I just tried to install the v2.4 on my d6000 via system update and then SD install. Now the last message was "patching system image unconditionally..."
Since over one hour nothing changed.
Am I supposed to do something now? If so, what?
(I'm really sorry if this is a stupid question)

Could you be a little more specific? Which ROM before? Using TWRP (permanent or temporary)? Rooted? What exactly did you do to install the new ROM?

Possibly someone can support with more information provided...

It's been a while, but I had the same problem as you when I tried to flash 2.4 multilanguage using either the system updater or TWRP. It got stuck in this 'patching unconditionally' phase.

In any case, I wasn't able to get it to work and resorted to the QFIL wirebrush method and it worked fine. You'll need to download the .tar.gz package for it though, the zip won't work with the wirebrush method.

This can happen when trying to downgrade. Silly thing. Sees the kernel is older and just decides to not let you do it.

I actually tried to sd-update from original install to v2.4 multil without wirebrush or twrp. I know, it wasn't all that smart but by now I managed to upgrade via SD to v3.1.

I couldn't get twrp or qfil to work for some reason and didn't manage to root it, so no gapps for now.

When switching to bootloader it doesn't recognize the phone in qfil and twrp doesn't start either.

I read different threads about it, but I seem to do something wrong...

QFIL is started with Android booted, not bootloader. If you don't see the driver/port qualcomm 9008 HS-USB or something similar register in QFIL, here are a few things you can try

- try to change to charge only mode, and back to MTP
- unplug from USB and plug again
- Turn off developer mode and turn on again and enable debugging

If still not registering port in QFIL, go into adb on PC and enter "adb reboot edl". The phone should Then boot to emergency download mode. Then you should see it register port on QFIL...assuming you've installed drivers.

Yes, I meant edl, not bootloader.

Where do I find the "correct" drivers? I installed drivers that seemed correct, but the driver-link in "ROM PC flash tutorial (wire brush)" doesnt work.

When in Android it show the device as "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9091 (COM8) and when switching to edl "No Port Available".
When I activate "Show Non Qualcomm Port" it shows as "RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM12)

Sounds like drivers are fine. When that shows, you should be able to flash. What happens when you initiate the flash while in Android? That's how I normally did it.

I am starting the flash in Android. I press "Download" and Status reads:
"
Start Download
COM Port number:8
Switch To EDL
Download Fail:Fail to find QDLoader port after switch
Finish Download

I've seen this problem before from users, but didn't see a solution. Mine flashed every time okay. Have you tried a different computer would be my suggestion. I assume you've tried a different port...
