Installation on Sony Xperia 10 VII

I recently got a sony xperia 10 vii w/ the intention of degoogling w/ iode. Since its not on the list of supported devices, I used the GSI, followed all the steps correctly, only to be met by the following when running fastboot -w after flashing:

rasing 'userdata' OKAY [ 0.220s] Erase successful, but not automatically formatting. File system type raw not supported. wipe task partition not found: cache Erasing 'metadata' OKAY [ 0.003s] Erase successful, but not automatically formatting. File system type raw not supported. Finished. Total time: 0.227s
When I reboot it gets stuck on the startup screen for iode. What can I do to get iode to actually properly boot? Despite it not being an officially supported device, would I be able to use the automatic installer?

Not directly answering your question (I am not too experienced using the GSI), but I did find this XDA thread: Question - Anyone loaded custom ROM on Xperia 10 VII? | XDA Forums

In short, no GSI is working with voice calls (I assume a VoLTE issue), so you may want to followup there with others attempting GSI installations for it.

An unofficial build for this device is now available: see
