Moved to https://github.com/JBBgameich/halium-install | Rewrite of the halium-install script. Usage should be similar to the official one. `halium-install $ROOTFS $ANDROID_IMAGE` Only use if the official one doesn't work!

README.md

Alternative Halium installer script

The difference to the official script from the halium-scripts repository is that this script will prepare the rootfs on your host system instead of on the device. This will make you independent of problems like old TWRP images, no busybox or not-working busyboxes on some devices.

Dependencies

• qemu-user-static
• qemu-system-arm
• e2fsprogs
• simg2img

Usage:

./halium-install <rootfs.tar.gz> <system.img>

halium-install

#!/bin/bash

# Plase make sure you have qemu-user-static, qemu-system-arm, sudo and simg2img installed before running this script!
