@ikoz I have tried install by manual and run the command one by one as below, but when run the partition part, it showed the same error as mention before. after run all the step, still can not work. or do you have any step for install it by manual?
command:
.\fastboot.exe reboot bootloader.\fastboot.exe getvar current-slot
.\fastboot.exe set_active a.\fastboot.exe flash boot .\boot.img
.\fastboot.exe flash dtbo .\dtbo.img
.\fastboot.exe flash recovery .\recovery.img.\fastboot.exe reboot fastboot
below partition command all run failed:
.\fastboot.exe delete-logical-partition system_ext_a
.\fastboot.exe delete-logical-partition system_ext_b
.\fastboot.exe delete-logical-partition product_a
.\fastboot.exe delete-logical-partition product_b
.\fastboot.exe delete-logical-partition system_b
.\fastboot.exe delete-logical-partition vendor_b
.\fastboot.exe delete-logical-partition odm_b
.\fastboot.exe resize-logical-partition system_a 30G.\fastboot.exe reboot bootloader
.\fastboot.exe erase userdata
.\fastboot.exe format:ext4 userdata.\fastboot.exe reboot recovery

@liam When it reboots ./fastboot.exe reboot fastboot does it reboot into fastbootd (I have made it bold as it is slightly different from fastboot) which allows access to manipulate the system partition. Windows will sometime have issues with either rebooting to fastbootd or doing things within it. If these issues arise, I use another version of Android Platform Tools or even better switch to my Linux machine (Ubuntu).
Just to edit, it takes longer to boot to fastbootd so be patient.
-
@liam It's not partitioned correctly for UT.
-
@MrT10001 I have some confusing, from my understanding, it should reboot to fastbootd mode when you edit the partition, right?
and PF4 have 3 mode such like 'bootloader' ,'recovery' and 'fastbootd' mode, 'bootloader' mode is 'fastboot' mode from my understanding,right?
so you mean, I need to switch to linux and use ubport-installer to install the UT will work, if like that i will try it. Anyway that should be partition problem,I need to find the way to fix the partition. -
@liam You are missing the point.
./fastboot reboot fastboot
will put you into fastbootd which will enable resizing of the system partition. You cannot do this in fastboot or recovery.
Windows sometimes has an issue working with fastbootd therefore a workaround for windows users is to try a Linux system where it works better with fastbootd.
This is fastbootd.
-
@MrT10001 yes, I knew it. I already have this command on my step, and it also works and reboot as your screen capture, but it still have error message when use the partition command,can not edit the partition.
-
use command: .\fastboot.exe getvar all show the partition already there
use delete command,can not delete it and resize it.
-
@liam You were running the Fairphone version of Android 11 before attempting the UT install?
-
@MrT10001 yes, I already installed the Android 11 before tried UT installation. install UT failed and I go back install Android 11 again then tried install UT again, again and again failed.
-
@liam the Fairphone 4 stock Android should set the partition sizes correctly.
-
@MrT10001 I have followed below guidance install Android 11, I really have no idea which step have problem, why can not install UT still show the same error.
-
@liam I see you are using Windows (fastboot.exe). Put the platform tools folder on your desktop along with the UT installer and run fastboot commands from there. Also you can try an older version of platform-tools to rule that issue out.
