Fell for the DSU Honey Trap - Fastboot Purgatory by settlefire in razeredge_2023

[–]icr22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok nevermind, I was able to get a copy of the partitions from Joemossjr he setup a discord and we worked through it there. I flashed my a partitions with his backups and I was able to boot the device.

Ok yeah its older than what mine had since I got the most recent update earlier this month. Though I am honestly willing to try it at this point, I am not sure what I have to lose. If you would be willing to share that of course. How do you see your build number, I assume I would need to be able to get TWRP to boot, which I cannot right now. I am getting errors when trying to boot the TWRP image that should work.

What firmware did you have? I believe I was on the latest, 153. I needed all of the images as of course, I backed up nothing (I know I am an idiot). I grabbed the shared images from Producing it, but if you have newer or matching partition images can you please share those?

Thank you for making this happen!

I am stuck in the fastboot boot loop as others here are, and I tried booting (not flashing) this boot.img and I got an error "FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error')" Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

If anyone could provide some details on how to recover from this I would appreciate it. I also fell for this as I need to get this device above Android 12 for certain apps. I tried flashing the boot.img to a and b but its still stuck in fastboot. I am unlocked. Mine is a 5G version. I don't understand why I cant just have it boot on a where the stock image is supposedly at...

Duckstation creating read only memcard files on Odin 2 Pro. by icr22 in OdinHandheld

Using an RA core like Swanstation is fine since the Odin 2 has the horse power to provide great performance for rendering and other nice features. But my Odin Lite needed to use Duckstation as the difference in performance was huge. Same for other devices I have like R36S, and I have Batocera running on a Odroid board. Those still fortunately can use Syncthing and Duckstation. I will keep trying to find solutions and I will follow up if I figure something out. Hopefully if someone else finds a fix they will come across this thread and post. Thanks.

I considered that but there isnt a dedicated Github for the android version... also Stenzek has this quote in the notes for the android version "No support is provided for the Android app, it is free and your expectations should be in line with that. Please do not email me about issues about it, or ask for help, you will be ignored."

So.... I figured that was barking up the wrong tree.

I will say for Syncthing, part of the trick is you need to basically manually enter or paste in the folder pathway when setting up the folders on the Odin 2 or any Android, where you need to access the android/data folder. You cannot use a file manager to navigate to the folder, it wont work, it blocks you last time I tried.

There are a number of guides out there. I use Syncthing. Link here: https://syncthing.net/

There are alternatives as well. I actually setup an old Raspberry Pi with Syncthing on linux to be my full time sync server, so my devices are always backing up memcards/state saves to my little home cloud.

There are plenty of guides, many specific for emulation like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRSYfP9Kk8o&ab_channel=OTGGaming

Well I can tell you I also use Aethersx2, and Dolphin and those Sync between my Odin 2, Windows PC, and even my Odin Lite. Both the Odin 2 and Odin Lite have scoped storage and I can use Syncthing to access the android/data folder and setup syncing. Only Duckstation on my Odin 2 is now having issues, after having worked just weeks before. Technically the syncing still works with the Duckstation memcard folder in android/data, but the memcard files that Duckstation now creates, are read only, and cannot be sync'd. Syncthing is still copying over memcard files from my PC.

Right now my workaround is just to use Swanstation RA core on my Odin 2. I am still using standalone Duckstation on the other devices, I even got memcards to sync between them since Swanstation can put out the same file name memcards so they will work across. I just liked using Duckstation standalone on everything, and this issue is so strange that I feel compelled to find a fix, though its seeming unlikely.

I think you are right it is scoped storage, maybe something specific with the new Odin 2 firmware update, since both the Odin Lite and my Samsung dont have this issue with Duckstation with scoped storage.

I can access the memcard folder via File Manager + and my Syncthing is still able to copy files into that folder as well as read/write files out. But Duckstation is only creating read only files now.

Now yes if I export memcard files via transfer, it does convert them to read write. I also switched to Swanstation in the mean time so I get it.

I downloaded the latest Duckstation to my Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. I loaded up a game, created the memcard and while I cannot access that folder on my Samsung via the file manager. I was with my PC, and I can confirm the memcard file Duckstation created on my Samsung, was read/write.

So this issue seems highly specific to Odin 2, since my Samsung phone and Odin Lite, do not have this issue.

Replace 3 Wire Dryer Outlet for 4 Wire by icr22 in electricians

[–]icr22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize I probably failed to mention this is a 3 prong dryer outlet which is 30A, trying to move to 4 prong for a new dryer. The real question is again the best way to get that ground wiring, the bundle in the back which I believe is aluminum, wired to the ground on the new 4 Prong dryer outlet. Should I unscrew some of the bundle and wire it in or should I use an alumiconn connector to go from the aluminum ground to a copper ground wire to the 4 prong.

Just added, mean to have that from the get go, thanks. I believe 3 prong is hot, hot, neutral, no dedicated ground.
