OK … of course this is untested, but your it seems that your “older” phone and build is not recognising the modern fastboot which comes with this adb version.

You might want to sleep on whether you think this is a good idea, but seems fairly safe to me as the phone appears unusable as is … maybe you think this would only be a last resort (??).

Please open flash-all.sh in a text editor and SaveAs flash-all-original.sh in the original location.

Below is a modified flash-all.sh where there is no check for fastboot version.

Should you choose to proceed

  • copy and paste my modified flash-all.sh below into your text editor
  • and SaveAs flash-all.sh in the original location.

Review: you have replaced the Google flash-all.sh by the aibd flash-all.sh.

flash-all.sh without fastboot version check

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-bullhead-bhz32c.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot -w update image-bullhead-opm7.181205.001.zip

Now run with the modified script by

chmod +x flash-all.sh

followed by

./flash-all.sh
