FP5 w/ dev build "rooted" but no su binary present, no root access for apps

I don’t know, but it seems unlikely to me.

Yes, unlocking the bootloader resets the installed OS (incl. settings to default) and deletes all the user data, but a successful facory reset should then also allow the phone to boot again, which it cannot.

And since this was so clearly unsuccessful, I wouldn’t even want to speculate how far into the actual OS it got.

Yes, it shows up when I run fastboot devices.

That’s why I thought I might be able to reflash…

I’m not sure I understand what you mean. Do you mean it would fit if it didn’t show up?

I would have thought the installation shell script should abort a bit earlier, in such a case, but I dind’t look into it, TBH.

EDIT: Here’s the new topic.
