On shamu, it still has the same major problems as before. (1) It will not power off. After hitting “power off” it says “shutting down” and goes dark for a short while (10-30 seconds), then starts back up on its own. At least this restart behaves normally now, but it is annoying to be unable to turn off the device. (2) When making calls, the other person cannot hear me in regular or speaker-phone modes. This test was using a different network than before.
If some log excerpts would help, let me know what.
I’m pretty sure I know the cause of this, although not 100%.
Basically DivestOS enables CONFIG_PANIC_ON_OOPS.
And some devices such as thor and shamu seem to oops on shutdown for whatever reason.
Now these devices also have CONFIG_MSM_DLOAD_MODE enabled.
Meaning on panic it reboots to edl mode.
But these devices also have edl mode disabled, causing a normal boot.
I can’t disable CONFIG_MSM_DLOAD_MODE because mach-msm/restart.c is so broken and fails to compile without it enabled.
The best I can do is disable CONFIG_PANIC_ON_OOPS for known bad devices.
Short of actually fixing restart.c.
I tried with the LineageOS boot.img and there is no random reboots and no volume external_first error.
One thing I found is with the original boot.img, if you use it it didn’t randomly reboot, but if you don’t it will.
Edit: Don’t know if it is related to boot.img or that volume external_first error but everytime I reboot the system says the SD card is “corrupted” and to get it to work I need to reinsert it. The SD card is an expansion storage.
Thanks for the attempt. Shamu still will not shutdown, and now the reboots are screwy - looping, not allowing PIN entry - entry screen displays, but typing keys acts like it does not receive inputs. It starts another reboot then anyway. After one successful boot, was never able to get a complete boot again, so could not test the phone.
Thank you for giving support for some phones not supported officially by LineageOS. Recently LineageOS4microG deleted old builds which I used for archiving purposes in old phones such as Samsung Galaxy S2 of some people.
Two devices were sitting on a table, listening. One ran divestos on nexus _. One ran bare lineagos on nexus 6. Down came the rain and flooded the roads out. Out went emergency broadcasts, “take shelter, stay home” they said. Nexus 6 went beep beep, alert alert. Nexus _ did not. Settings on both said check, please give alerts. Rare use case, hard to test, maybe. Important, probably.
You mean in the phone apps?
The mic is on in both standard phone app and “true phone” app. So is the speaker. I turned off bluetooth and there’s no wired headset.
Mic and speakers worked fine with Whatsapp before uninstall and reinstall, now no longer! Voice recorder still has no issue with mic and speaker!
Your screenshots show two SIM cards.
The Nexus 6 only has one.
And that also doesn’t look like DivestOS.
Can’t help you much.
Try reflashing the latest full firmware.
NON-HLOS.bin
or
modem.img
if you can.

To confirm, the DivestOS recovery fails to flash the image?
And once flashed it fails to boot?
Does it ever reboot itself?
Or does it keep spinning at the boot animation?
DivestOS recovery fails to flash the image showing the issue I saw in that Reddit post.
Using the solution in that Reddit post and installing an old TWRP recovery version, the DivestOS image is flashed correctly but it fails to boot. It does not reboot, just maintains “like booting” showing the DivestOS letters with the colors all the time to nearly 30 minutes (2x minutes) without showing slow-down of the animation or anything else. For me that showed that was not booting or was taking a lot of more than expected.
Rule of thumb: new devices should boot in under 5 minutes and old devices under 10.
Any longer should be considered broken.
As for the i9100:
Is there any build of LineageOS 14.1 that you’ve successfully booted?
If so, it is probably something I broke.
I’ll try to get one to test, but they are becoming short in supply and expensive.
It always amazes me seeing sellers peddling such old phones for absurd prices.
