Hello,

I got a problem with my installation of PostmarketOS on a Fairphone 2

The problem

When the phone boot, after the PostmarketOS logo, I got a TTY instead of phosh or gnome.

I have no UART or network access to the phone, so I try to copy the error message I can see with a magnifying glass:

msm_mdp fd900100.display-controller: [drm:adreno_request_fw] loaded qcom/a330_pm4.fw from new location
msm_mdp fd900100.display-controller: [drm:adreno_request_fw] loaded qcom/a330_pfp.fw from new location
input: ILI210x Touchscreen as /devices/plateform/soc/f9924000.i2c…
[drm:mdp5_irq_error_handler] *ERROR* errors: 04000000
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 135x120
msm_mdp fd900100.display-controller: [drm] fb0: msmdrmfb frame buffer device

And then, I got an invite to log on TTY1

The installation

I use pmbootstrap. On the init, I choose this configuration:

Canal: Edge
Vendor: Fairphone
Device: fp2
Kernel: mainline
User interface: Phosh
All other options: The default

I flashed by following the wiki page: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_2_(fairphone-fp2)

Hello every one.

So, I regularly test PostmarketOS on a Fairphone 2. Until now, it booted with no problem. But the last time I tested it, it failed to boot.

I use pmbootstrap. On the init, I choose this configuration:

• Canal: Edge
• Vendor: Fairphone
• Device: fp2
• Kernel: mainline
• User interface: Phosh
• All other options: The default

I flashed with 2 methods: From the TWRP recovery, with adb sideload, and from the bootloader with pmbootstrap flasher.

The result is the same: On boot, the Fairphone logo is shown then slowly fade to leave a black screen. Sometimes, I get vertical white lines. But nothing more.

I rebooted on TWRP and search for getting the last dmesg or the pstrore. With no success. But it's maybe because I use the mainline Kernel.

As I don't have an UART access, I don't know how to get more info on why the boot fail.

Do you have any idea ?
