flashing custom rom through bazzite using android platform tools

Hi, good morning, good afternoon and good evening.

I would like to ask if it's possible to sideload a custom rom using android platform tools using bazzite? If so how do you do it?

I have tried to just open the terminal in the platform tools folder, but unfortunately I couldn't do it, it always says "command not found", though I have tried using the same method in Ubuntu but it works.

Another method that I have tried is using distrobox, I have created a distrobox for Ubuntu and tried to do the same steps as mentioned above but unfortunately It failed.

What would you guys suggest? Or is bazzite really not suited for flashing custom ROMs?

Thanks in advance

Can you show your terminal when you see command not found?

try sudo adb devices

or, hold on

I don't think this works in distrobox

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 5:43 AM

instead, layer android-tools or use the portable package

@skipili you need to make a rootful container with distrobox

I had no problems after that. Obviously that comes with security concerns so proceed with caution (maybe delete the container when you're done or make sure its not running in the background)

You can make it work on normal distrobox containers but it's a pain in the ass setting permissions for it to access USB ports

Okay noted, ill search on how to do that

Create a distrobox container with terminal rather than boxbuddy and add the --root flag

Use any linux distribution inside your terminal. Enable both backward and forward compatibility with software and freedom to use whatever distribution you’re more comfortable with. Mirror available...

I don't recall having to do anything else - just get adb / fastboot installed and you can adb sideload and flash with fastboot as normal

DDobsgw @skipili you need to make a rootful container with distrobox I had no problems ...

you also could use adb from host using distrobox-host-exec https://distrobox.it/usage/distrobox-host-exec/
