Fastboot: booting...FAILED (remote: bootimage: incomplete or not signed)finished.
-
@advocatux when the installer tells me: press the volume down button first and then pressing and holding power button as well.
-
@josepjc I see you have filed a bug report (*) already, let's wait to see what the experts have to say about it.
-
@josepjc wait, are you using a VM to do the installation?
-
@advocatux no
-
@josepjc right, then let's see what the devs have to say
-
I can access to the recovery mode and I have a SD 2GB
-
When I put de SD I can't access to the recovery mode, black screen...
-
Hello,
this issue is still relevant for me. The workaround with the installer 0.1.12 is just to ignore the wrong image or whatever error occurs. In version 0.1.15-beta I can still not get beyond rebooting in fastboot mode. -
@humungus what OS is running on your computer? What installer package are you using exactly? Do you have
adb
andfastboot
installed on your computer? Have you tried to run the installer withsudo
? -
@advocatux Hello I seemed to have fixed the issue. It is not a tool problem, but one of the installer. The tools are called asynchroniously and eventually hindering each other. I will clean up my code and send the patch to the maintainers.
-
@humungus perfect, I'm glad you found a solution
-
I'm eagerly awaiting this update too. After a failed attempt at flashing 16.04/rc I had to resort to flashing a Fairphone Android stock image (urgh!)
Is there a .zip of the current 16.04 image I can flash manually, preferably with a "flash all" shell script? I'd be more than happy enough with that in the absence of a functioning ubports-installer.
-
Hello, afaik the zip is build on the fly from the archives on the recovery system. I did not find a complete zip.
-
@scott-marley you can see here http://system-image.ubports.com/ how the system images are organized.
If you have trusty or xenial [*] running on your computer, you can try to install UT using the command line. You can also try to install that tool on bionic too, I heard it works but I haven't tried it myself on that distro.
sudo ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=FP2 --channel=ubports-touch/16.04/rc --bootstrap --wipe
EDIT: I've just remembered that that method worked on other devices but FP2 on the early days of 16.04 development. I think that's fixed now but I wanted to tell you. Anyway, you can give it a try.
[*]
ubuntu-device-flash
is only officially available for those releases -
Hi on bionic I can not get ubuntu-device-flash (I am on aarch64 arch). I did not find the sources neither. I commented my fix on github. Best regards
-
@humungus ah I didn't know you're using aarch64
-
Not sure if it helps, but in the Fairphone forum there were some instructions how to sign TWRP images so that they can be used for a one off boot (without installing).
It's basically this: https://z3ntu.github.io/2017/06/16/Signing-boot-images.html
I tried to fiddle around with the ubports-installer sources and added some debug output to see the exact command that fails and gives the "FAILED (remote: bootimage: incomplete or not signed)" error:
fastboot boot "~/.cache/ubports/images/FP2/boot.img"
If I sign the image according to the link above and use that instead, I don't get the error.
Edit: it seems this is already being worked on https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/issues/184 and the problem is not with the file being signed or not.
-
@josepjc , @Scott-Marley :
I also had to reflash my FP2 with android stock image, because the ubports installer version 0.1.13 "broke" it.
After that I used the ubportsinstaller 0.1.9 and it worked like a charm... -
Cheers for the advice everyone, I also stumbled with the unsupported "ubuntu-device-flash" in bionic, but as @Luksus also mentioned, v0.1.9 worked fine for me too (eventually, took a couple of goes).
I'm now on 16.04/rc and just now got the W26 OTA update.
-
Hey,
in github is stated that the issue might be fixed. Maybe you can give it another try. I will do so later.
