          @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.

                      @liam You were running the Fairphone version of Android 11 before attempting the UT install?

                          @liam the Fairphone 4 stock Android should set the partition sizes correctly.

                              @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.
