[Installation Error] Xperia XZ2 Compact, 'avb_custom_key' Partition Doesn't Exist #351

Closed JosiahDanger closed 3 weeks ago

JosiahDanger commented 3 weeks ago

Hello all,

Thank you for your hard work in developing this operating system.

I would like to report an issue I have encountered during installation of DivestOS version 20.0 on my new old stock Xperia XZ2 Compact (H8314), which arrived in the mail today. I updated to Android 10 by flashing stock firmware downloaded through XperiFirm. Having unlocked the phone's bootloader using fastboot, I proceeded in following the device-specific DivestOS installation instructions.

Upon carrying out step (5.), an error occurred:

Screenshot 2024-11-01 182327 FAILED (remote: 'No such partition.')

Curious, I continued to step (6.) and attempted to flash the AVB key anyway. This resulted in the following message:

Screenshot 2024-11-01 182613 FAILED (remote: 'No such partition.')

It would appear that the 'avb_custom_key' partition does not exist on my phone.

I continued to follow the installation instructions. I can confirm that I have now installed DivestOS without the presence of a valid AVB key. However, I would like to relock the bootloader. My understanding if that I will be unable to relock the bootloader until I can flash the correct AVB key.

Please advise.

Seems this is an edgecase in the installation steps generator.

This device doesn't need that actually since it can't actually be relocked, you can skip this step safely.

Thank you for your extremely fast response! So, to confirm, you are informing me that the 'xz2c' device bootloader cannot be relocked after installing DivestOS? Could you perhaps update the website Devices page and FAQ accordingly?

Yes I will adjust it, it was previously marked unknown because I thought there was a slim chance it was possible, but you're the first to actually confirm it isn't.

This should be fixed now, thank you for the report.
