Thank you for this guide which is very helpful in addition to the official installation docs.
I still ran into an issue with the eOS image 2.4.1 (stable) when executing the flash_fp5_factory.sh script. This issue is described in the following forum thread with several solution proposals (please note that the issue affects both the FP4 and FP5 installation scripts, so the linked thread is applicable to the FP5 installation as well despite being FP4-themed at first glance):
Once you’ve got beyong this point, I also ran into the script crashing.
For me, it did NOT help the choose “Enter recovery” on the “fastbootd” screen after the crash, as I could not see an “Advanced” option there.
What helped me there instead was the following:
- Reboot into bootloader
- From there, choose again to enter recovery mode
- For me, the recovery mode now looked differently, in a different layout and more colourful.
- From there it was then possible to choose “Advanced” and “Enter fastboot” as described above in the guide
- The script then passed the point where it crashed before
I could install eOS from the above mentioned image with the change to the script and the additional information.
I now still have the issue that I cannot lock the bootloader again as the fastboot-command (PC) does not find any devices when going to the bootloader screen/fastboot mode. I guess that means I have to unlock the bootloader again, but I still have to investigate this further - see below.
Edit 24/11/03:
Today I tried again to lock the bootloader again.
This time I first restarted the device, powered it off and then went to the bootloader screen as described in this guide. There I chose “Reboot the bootloader” and checked the availability of my device with “./fastboot devices”.
After that, locking the bootloader again went smooth for me.
I don’t know if this precise procedure is of any importance to make it work, but maybe it helps someone.
