FP4, installer seems to hang

Installation Help
1

Hello,

I am right now trying to install iodé 6.8 on my Fairphone which had CalyxOS before. The installer (Linux) seems to stick here:

Erasing 'avb_custom_key'                           OKAY [  0.010s]
Finished. Total time: 0.013s
Warning: skip copying avb_custom_key image avb footer (avb_custom_key partition size: 0, avb_custom_key image size: 1032).
Sending 'avb_custom_key' (1 KB)

No progress since about an hour. I am afraid there is a problem, or is this normal? How long should I wait? What will happen if I cancel the process?

This was the state of my phone before starting the installer:

~ # fastboot oem device-info
(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
OKAY [  0.001s]
Finished. Total time: 0.001s

   ~ # fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability
(bootloader) get_unlock_ability: 0
OKAY [  0.000s]
Finished. Total time: 0.001s

I would recommend flashing back to stock from Fairphone then proceeding with the iodé install. LineageOS is explicit on this as installation prerequisites but we haven’t been as clear in our instructions.

Thanks for your answer!

Ultimately it worked, but not straight away. After installing the Fairphone Stock image (which successfully booted) I had the same problem with iodé installer. I then tried as root (is it required?) - still problems, but this time I tried to proceed by selecting “Reboot Bootloader” on the phone. This worked and iodé successfully booted. However, because there where errors in the installers log I wasn’t satisfied and tried again. This time as root and flash-all.sh instead of the installer. This time it worked without error.

Problem solved, thanks!
