Cosmo Communicator - Android / Manual Firmware Installation Files from Planet

« on: June 27, 2020, 02:36:28 pm »

From IndieGoGo Daniel Mader reports this response from Planet Support:

Customer Support 1 (Planet Computers) Jun 26, 2020, 4:39 PM GMT+1 Dear Daniel, I'm actually not sure what happened here exactly, but I would like to rule out a possible hardware failure by asking you to perform a manual installation of the v22 firmware. You can install the latest v22 firmware by using this manual installation (http://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Cosmo_Android_Firmware_Manual_Installation).

Link gives V19 and V22 downloads for manual installation.

The downloads verify successfully against the MD5 checksums given, but I haven't tried installing from them yet.

Edited to correct link (thanks @ehem)

Cosmo Communicator - Android / Boot error after setting up rooted android

« on: February 25, 2020, 11:18:46 am »

I have followed the instructions from the Planet support website to re-partition the Cosmo and install rooted android and Linux.  However, some of the boot options don't work. Is this to be expected?  Have I missed something?

Initally NORMAL boot started up android, but after installing Magisk it now says:

Code: [Select]

Your device has failed verification and may not work properly
Please download boot image with correct signature or disable verified boot
Your device will reboot in 5 secondsI installed Magisk using the instructions on https://magiskmanager.com/

TWRP boot starts TWRP with it asking for a decryption key

ROOTED_ANDROID boot works and Magisk shows it has been rooted.

DEBIAN_KDE boot also works.

FASTBOOT boot hangs

Is normal boot intended to provide an option for a non-rooted android?  I haven't been involved with the Linux beta programme that has been running recently.
