I’ve been running iodé since I got my FP4. Yesterday I wanted to go back to FPOS, so I installed the FPOS firmware and then I read on the forum about the bug that the FP team is ignoring.
I got the sad news get_unlock_ability: 0, but I did also read that it might work to reflash FPOS firmware again and then lock the bootloader before reboot, but when i tried to reflash FPOS I got a red error saying that I have to plug the battery and then try again, but whatever I did I couldn’t get past that message. Somewhere in this mess I locked the critical partition. fastboot oem device-info gives:
FAILED (remote: 'Flashing Unlock is not allowed
')
fastboot: error: Command failed
So now im stuck with a unlocked bootloader with the critical partition locked and I can’t flash anything with the critical partition locked. Is there any way out of this mess? I’ve been looking in the forums but I can’t find anyone with this exact problem.
The only thing I can remember is that I installed it like the iodé install instructions said. Looking at those now i can see that it even say not to unlock critical partition. This makes me confused.
I have no issues with booting up FPOS right now. I would like to be able to reflash FPOS tho. I’ve tried change slot, but there’s no difference.
get_unlock_ability: 0, so that is not strange at all. I just wanted to mention it.
If the ability to unlock the critical partitions is tied to OEM unlocking being enabled, and that seems to be the case, changing that switch back to on should help, yes.
Oh, sorry. I read your comment in the wrong way. I executed the unlock command in the screen that pops up when I do a adb reboot bootloader.
I don’t really know what to expect here, but I now have a rooted device. The OEM-setting is still greyed out. I though something like fastboot oem unlock would work, but it seems like it’s not a valid command.
