Invalid command resize-logical-partition:system_a:1373093888

[lefuglyduck]

After flashing both partitions with the factory grapheneOS images. I can only get to this step. ~/Desktop/avbroot/extracted$ for image in *.img; do partition=$(basename "${image}") partition=${partition%.img} fastboot flash "${partition}" "${image}" done Sending 'boot_a' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.847s] Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 0.245s] Finished.

Luckily I have the other partition so no issues.

Have you tried GrapheneOS without using avbroot before to see if it actually works? This doesn't seem like a problem caused by avbroot to me.

Also what fastboot version are you using? Have you tried the standalone version as described in the GrapheneOS CLI Install guide?

Oops, I overlooked this when updating the documentation after avbroot started patching system.img.

The problem is that recent Android versions have 2 fastboot modes:

• The bootloader has its own fastboot mode. This can flash regular partitions.
• Recovery mode has a new fastbootd feature. This can flash dynamic/logical partitions.

So the procedure should be:

1. Reboot to bootloader for regular fastboot
2. Flash all of the extracted partitions besides system.img
3. Reboot to fastbootd with fastboot reboot-fastboot
4. Flash system.img

I need to find a good way to document that in the README without turning this step into a big script.

Wow, it definitely should be in README ;)

3 day of attempts... "I wll always read issues"

So the procedure should be:

1. Reboot to bootloader for regular fastboot

2. Flash all of the extracted partitions besides `system.img`

3. Reboot to fastbootd with `fastboot reboot-fastboot`

4. Flash `system.img`

I need to find a good way to document that in the README without turning this step into a big script.

I seen your commit, but I don't see this step anywhere in readme.md.

I see you added this step though:

ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT=extracted fastboot flashall

Is this supposed to be equivalent to steps above?

The instructions in the new commit (https://github.com/chenxiaolong/avbroot/pull/253/files?short_path=b335630#diff-b335630551682c19a781afebcf4d07bf978fb1f8ac04c6bf87428ed5106870f5) are an easier way to accomplish the same thing. I haven't merged the changes yet because although I'm pretty confident it'll work, I haven't had the time to factory reset my device and test it myself.

Where is the android-info.txt that fastboot flashall requires?

Where is the android-info.txt that fastboot flashall requires?

~An empty android-info.txt should work. I'll update #253 after work today to have avbroot extract generate it.~

EDIT: Hmm, no, looks like more stuff is needed. I'll have to investigate.

[danielphan2003]

For now you can extract android-info.txt from the factory image:

[chenxiaolong]

You might also need super_empty.img from there too.

For now, I've updated README.md in 80549346eaf1abcb42a705bfdf744d1606b859cf to describe the manual steps I've suggested above.

Once I figure out exactly what is needed to get the fastboot flashall method working, we'll switch over to that. I'll keep discussion about the flashall method in #253.
