Troubleshooting

wtfos install stuck in a loop

This can happen because wtfos was installed in firmware slot_2 but your device reset to slot_1 due to a low battery issue or some other related problem. In such a situation wtfos fails to re-install properly into slot_1 because part of it is already installed and visible in /blackbox/wtfos.

Copy and paste the following script into the CLI in the configurator to try to automatically resolve the issue:

WTFOS_DIR=/blackbox/wtfos

if [ -d "$WTFOS_DIR" ] ; then
    echo "cleaning up previous wtfos in /blackbox"
    rm -rf "$WTFOS_DIR"
    rm -rf /blackbox/wtfos.log
    echo "wtfos cleaned up, please reboot your device and try installing wtfos again"
    echo "you may use 'reboot' to do so"
else
    echo "wtfos install not found, aborting"
    exit 1
fi

If the script tells you it aborted for some reason, come talk to us on Discord and tell us the whole output. Otherwise you should see instructions to reboot your device and try installing wtfos again in the CLI output.

re-flashing the inactive slot to stock

In order to re-flash the currently inactive slot to a stock state you can run the following:

umount /proc/cmdline #skip on v2 goggles
update_engine --update_package=/cache/ota.zip &
busybox tail -f /tmp/recovery.log &

After the process is done, unrd will be set automatically so that the next time you boot the slot you just flashed will be active.

On everything except V2 goggles you will neet to re-root your Goggles after this process to re-gain CLI access.

Rinse and repeat to restore both slots to stock on V2 Goggles. On V1 Goggles and air side one slot will always have to be rooted to be able to flash the other.

If the services tab in configurator is blank

Try the following commands in cli:

opkg install --force-reinstall dinit
/opt/etc/init.d/S01dinit.sh start
opkg remove tweak-prevent-force-upgrade
reboot

When your Goggles boot slow or the GUI crashes every once in a while

Just update to the latest wtfos using configurator, the issue will be fixed automatically.

The following is here for reference purposes only.

There's an (unknown) issue that writes OSD stream data into gui translation files.

To disable this behavior, edit /system/gui/etc/diskorc.xml (eg with vi) and change

<parameter name="addtranslations" value="true"         />

to

<parameter name="addtranslations" value="false"         />

Use the following to restore the original files:

mkdir /tmp/systwo
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/soc/f0000000.ahb/f0400000.dwmmc0/mirror/system_2 /tmp/systwo
cp /tmp/systwo/gui/lang/* /system/gui/lang/
sync
/system/bin/umount -d -l /system
sleep 1
/system/bin/mount -o rw,remount /system
sleep 1
cp /tmp/systwo/gui/lang/* /system/gui/lang/
sync
reboot
