 Atemu | Okay so today after applying an update fingerprints were gone again but I didn't apply Magisk | 10:40:34 |
| Atemu | I made sure to let it finish its update process | 10:40:43 |
| Atemu | I then flashed system again (presumably to the other slot) and only then it started working agian | 10:41:04 |

 oak | Maybe you have eg. different vendor_a and vendor_b partitions? | 22:43:00 |
| oak | It's actually interesting that new versions of Android will bring those Virtual A/B partitions, where during update an incremental snapshot is first written to disk, then it tries to boot device from that, and if successful, then the snapshot is merged back to the main partition on background | 22:49:33 |
| oak | What I don't get is why do they have to reimplement the stuff that already exists in LVM | 22:49:51 |
| Atemu | NIH | 22:52:37 |

Maybe you have eg. different vendor_a and vendor_b partitions? How would I find out and how would I get into that state? | 22:53:03 |
| oak | Is it the Fairphone4? | 22:59:01 |
| oak | But if you have never manually flashed the firmware, then most likely the other slot has older version, I don't know how Fairphone4 works | 23:00:22 |
 samueldr | there was a page about that topic with LineageOS once, but it's supposed to be a non-issue nowadays | 23:02:25 |
| samueldr | * there was a page about that topic with LineageOS once, but it's supposed to be a non-issue nowadays I don't know if it's still relevant | 23:03:13 |
| samueldr | some clues here https://github.com/mobile-nixos/mobile-nixos/issues/714 | 23:03:15 |
| oak | I don't recall anymore where I read about it, but it was known advice for example for OnePlus 8 Pro which has these A/B slots, that you need to flash the firmware to both slots, otherwise it will start to use older version from other slot on LineageOS updates | 23:03:21 |
| oak | https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/instantnoodlep/fw_update/ For example for OnePlus 8 Pro here it advices to flash all slots | 23:03:45 |
| samueldr | might have been from Mobile NixOS docs :) or just LineageOS | 23:03:57 |
| oak | I even remember there was that copy-partitions.zip you could sideload and that would just copy the partitions inside the phone | 23:04:52 |
| Atemu | I don't think I ever flashed any sort of firmare | 23:05:23 |
| * samueldr wonders if there's federation lag between oak and I | 23:05:48 |
| * samueldr * wonders if there's federation lag between oak and himself | 23:05:52 |
| Atemu | I know that was a thing on my cheeseburger where you had to flash modem firmware but no such thing with the fairphone | 23:06:18 |
| Atemu | I'd assumed it's all contained in the system partition | 23:06:36 |
| samueldr | it really depends, and no, nowadays it's kinda expected to be within the many vendor packages | 23:07:07 |
| oak | The newer the phone, the more there are smaller individual firmware binaries that need to be put into right places | 23:08:46 |

| Atemu | For some reason my Backup doesn't work for launcher3 with Android 14 anymore and I have no idea why | 07:59:43 |
| Atemu | I can delete its data/ files just fine and that causes it to reset but if I restore my backup's data/, it doesn't restore my home screen | 08:00:25 |
| Atemu | Where else could it be hiding state? | 08:11:37 |
