Rpi 3b+ recovery issue

JavaLord

Hello i installed 6.0 release on raaspberry pi 3b +. It works fine for me, but when i tried to install gapps, i figured out that i can't boot to recovery. It just stucks at Starting kernel screen.

Emteria does not support GApps officially.
Your problem is a well-known issue. The GApps impair the system performance by using the sd cart high frequently and therefore overloading the I/O load.

Did you try waiting for the system to boot completely before starting the GApp?

JavaLord

Hello @BaranT. I had already solved issue with recovery, but faced another with freezes with installed GAPPS pico. Now my main problem is audio freezes)

Artur951

I installed gapps pico and my emteria is stable .

JavaLord

Can you try to reproduce my issue with usb dac?

Artur951

I have a usb sound card did not work. Now I extract the sound from the hdmi signal, there is no problem with it.

JavaLord

@Artur951 i also tried to play audio through 3.5 jack and freezes is gone. Thanks to you)

JavaLord

@Artur951 hdmi audio is better than standart jack output?

Artur951

@JavaLord Naturally better! It's digital. 3.5 jack is not recommended even by the computer manufacturer.

JavaLord

@Artur951 can you share the model of hdmi splitter that you bought?

Artur951

@JavaLord I use this adapter. https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/New-1080P-Mini-HDMI2HDMI-HD-Converter-HDMI-to-mini-4k-2k-HDMI-1-4-Audio-extractor/32387127234.html?spm=a2g0v.search0604.3.61.183b7b76SJbnn2&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_3_10065_10068_5730212_319_5729712_317_10696_453_10084_454_10083_10618_10307_10301_538_537_536_10059_10884_10889_10887_100031_321_322_10915_10103_10914_5735412_10911_10910,searchweb201603_51,ppcSwitch_0&algo_expid=0c13b5c8-a5b9-448e-b354-4e97c60dad53-8&algo_pvid=0c13b5c8-a5b9-448e-b354-4e97c60dad53

@Artur951 thanks)

@JavaLord - how did you solve your recovery problem?

JavaLord

@kknott hello. I found script from another build and changed partition names in it. You need 2 scripts one to enter recovery and one to exit from it. I can send them to you if you share me your email

kalkov

@JavaLord, I know those scripts and they basically do the same thing we do, but manually: renaming /boot/recovery.uimg to /boot/ramdisk.uimg and back. You don't need those scripts, you can just mount your sdcard and rename them manually. I just wonder why the automatic switch doesn't work.

JavaLord

@kalkov yes they just rename ramdisk and recovery. But using them you can do it in raspberry pi without pc. I also searched this forum to solve this issue, but didn't find it, then i tried to solve it by myself. Maybe automatic switch didn't work because of recovery image name, i guess it should be ramdisk-recovery

im having problem with the bootfile installation, is this what ure talking about ? everyting else during the sd card flash works but when final step comes to flash boot.img it gives
