<tadia|m> Hello y'all could you help me with a bootloop on a xiaomi toco?
<f_> Not if you don't tell us what exactly you need help with ;)
<f_> give as many details as you can
<tadia|m> So basically, I tried following the guide on the wiki
<tadia|m> I am on an arch linux host
<tadia|m> and it worked
<tadia|m> by worked I mean it instaleld
<tadia|m> s/instaleld/installed, but not booted/
<sanyapilot|m> tadia|m: have you erased dtbo partition?
<tadia|m> yup
<tadia|m> the kernel compiled, the package packaged, everything seemed just file
<tadia|m> s/file/fine/
<sanyapilot|m> did you see u-boot output on the screen&
<sanyapilot|m> *
<tadia|m> nope, straight to fastboot
<tadia|m> maybe that's the problem
<sanyapilot|m> ofc thats a problem :)
<sanyapilot|m> *
<tadia|m> I mean that I may not have installed u-boot
<sanyapilot|m> you must do it
<tadia|m> okay, so can I do that retroactively?
<tadia|m> like unbork my install
<sanyapilot|m> yes
<tadia|m> or do I have to start from scratch?
<tadia|m> Okay, I will try that
<tadia|m> which U-boot image should I choose?
<tadia|m> there isn't one for xiaomi-toco
<tadia|m> will the one for tucana work?
<sanyapilot|m> you may try from tucana, but I suggest you to build U-Boot yourself
<sanyapilot|m> *
<adrian> don't use u-boot for other devices, that's like the easiest way to hard brick your device
<adrian> * adrian has done this before
<tadia|m> I know that I may sound somewhat like a noob, but if you would be so kind to help a little, I don't understand how building u-boot for a specified device should work. As far as I understand, I should clone the u-boot fork for sm7150 (done that), and use a defconfig for my board, which from what I can tell should be qcom_defconfig. But how do I specify the phone I want to build for?
