broke my 7 a couple of months ago

physically? or did you nuke the software and couldn’t reboot anymore?

When you install graphene, you literally just have five apps and a handful of system apps that are built into android.

but you can still install libraries like f-droid or droid-ify, right?

frequent updates and feels like a better version of android.

why is this relevant if I plan to nuke the device and install graphene or lineage on it?

thanks!, but can’t this be automated? (update repos every 24 hours)

what did you update? the device or aurora store?

how do I do that? I didn’t find any option to sync on the f-droid app.

on the app

to use element I need to provide an email address. Do I also need to provide a valid phone number?

a messenger with voice calls

I’m gonna have to ask you to elaborate:

how can I keep it offline? I need to keep the device online to receive the code, right?

thanks

It looks like the native OS will flash the original recovery partition back if you try to boot Android without flashing a custom. ROM.

so if I cannot install lineage on my device (package no longer maintained) and I’m stuck with the native OS, that means I’m also stuck with the original recovery partition and cannot install TWRP?

thanks

thank you for breaking that command down for me. The command should look:

fastboot flash recovery /home/alice/TWRP/twrp.img

However, I still don’t understand this:

flash - flash (write) to the named partition

I haven’t named any partition, there is no path to the partition, is there?

why thanks…?

thanks a lot! device unbricked

wait, does ‘KC63JG60633VUN recovery’ on my terminal mean I have accessed the bios?

I don’t remember anymore, this happened 9 months ago. I remember trying to install lineage and following their instructions, but then lineage seems to be incompatible with my device. Then I, apparently, tried twrp and somehow installed it.

FWIW I don’t care about the data, I just want to install a rom that works, preferably a non proprietary one.

ETA: On my desktop’s terminal if I type ‘adb devices’ it returns: KC63JG60633VUN recovery. How far am I?

Im a noob, so please be patient:

do you mean the desktop’s bios or the device’s bios?

Incidentally, I just accessed twrp 3.7.0 I somehow installed in the device months ago. Is this the bios you mention?
