Where is the twrp recovery option?

Use the bootflags to create submenu entry in grub/refind bootloader to enter or skip recovery.
Use metro theme to flash twrp zips.

thank you harrydsilva

I reinstall linux

I have extract the files in a folder which I have named darkmatter4.6 place in the root of mx linux

the problem is that the update of the gearlock only specify the partition not folder that why it destroys the linux boot

I am not sure what I am really missing. Everytime I supercharge with gearlock, the system doesn't boot after restart. I have tried with androidx86, PhoenixOs official and even dark matter. I use intel core i5 3470, 16gb ram and nvidia gtx970 graphics.

Me too. It goes to a bootloop after supercharged in bliss os. No problem with prime os as rom is already supercharged

It's easy. Simply insert the boot flags NORECOVERY=0 to skip recovery and AUTORECOVERY=0 to automatically enter recovery in the configuration file.
I use refind bootloader, so my boot entry looks like this -

menuentry "PhoenixOS DarkMatter" {
icon EFI/refind/icons/os_phoenixos.png
volume "Android"
loader /PhoenixOS-DM/kernel
initrd /PhoenixOS-DM/initrd.img
options "quiet NORECOVERY=0 root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.selinux=permissive acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode SRC=/PhoenixOS-DM vga=788"
submenuentry "Recovery" {
add_options "quiet ALWAYSRECOVERY=0 root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.selinux=permissive acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode SRC=/PhoenixOS-DM vga=788"
}
}

AXON updated GearLock - Custom Recovery Replacement for Android-x86 with a new update entry:

Important notice about 6.3 update

If you're having uEFI BIOS and tried to install GearLock 6.3, the installation might fail and GearLock may not work properly. So, under such circumstances you can try 6.3 and it should work fine. The reason I'm saying this is because you can't expect a bugfix update for this any sooner than 10 days or more.

To get 6.2, click on RELEASES tab.

It(6.3) may not when you install your OS with android-x86 bootable installer.

I'm using Android x86 4.4 r5 now (testing) and I'm trying to install gearlock 6.3 on it,
but it failed when gearlock trying to patch the secondary ramdisk.

do you have a suggestion or maybe a workaround on how to fix this?
I'm sorry if i'm doing something useless here.

Have you installed android x86 4.4 r5 with ext4 partition

Yeah, I'm using ext4.

Here's the other info that maybe useful:
- using uefi
- multiboot with Windows and Phoenix OS DarkMatter
- Phoenix OS DarkMatter and Android x86 4.4 r5 are in different partition
- Android x86 4.4 r5 system partition is read-write (not squashfs-like files).
- I've enabled houdini (arm translation)

I've tried installing gearlock 6.3 on Android x86_64 6.0 r3 before and success.

How to update gearlock in Phoenix os Dark matter 4.6....please help i wanna update my gearlock... i am on ntfs

Electrikjesus · Jun 24, 2020

Hey, I'm trying to setup Bliss OS 11.x to compile with Gearlock included, and I ran into an issue when passing options through to Android when booting.
It is dropping all the added boot options for old-modprobe mode (AUTO_LOAD=old), GRALLOC=xxx, HWC=xxx, etc. How can I get those options passed through Gearlock's early-boot stage and onto the Android boot stage?

I am trying to install gearlock on another android os it say system structure is not supported

Aakash_007 · Jun 25, 2020

bro, I use phoenix os along side parrot os dual booted with windows 10 pro, without partitioning it separately I use the grub bootloader to boot into either phoenix or parrot or windows 10 pro... so... while using gearlock, will it disturb my parrot os file system, bcoz the Phoenix is inside "/Phoenix/" in parrot os
