Solving remote: 'Not enough space to resize partition'

[Clanceeinfinity]

I followed the instructions and everything worked fine, my bootslot is A so i deleted b, worked fine. then i did .\fastboot flash system aosp-arm64-ab-gapps14.0-20240725.img and first it told me FAILED (remote: 'Not enough space to resize partition'), i looked up a video on youtube and the guy said you have to delete your actual bootslot, in my case bootslot a. I did that, now it says FAILED (remote: 'No such file or directory'). I also tried the second newest build, it resulted in the same issue.

this is also the second time i tried this, on my first try i thought i was doing something wrong so i flashed firmware again and started all over, but it doesn't seem like it worked.

Looks like your partition order is messed up currently.

I assume your device is unlocked, If that is the case, the following steps may work.

./fastboot delete-logical-partition system_ext_a
./fastboot delete-logical-partition system_ext_b
./fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a
./fastboot delete-logical-partition product_b

./fastboot flash system aosp-arm64-ab-gapps14.0-20240725.img

Let me know the results.

what will the command ./fastboot create-logical-partition system 0 do?

will it create a virtual partition? I have more time tomorrow, ill try it out and keep you updated!

I have changed the above answer, first try with the new commands, let's not touch the system partition. We just need to make enough space for the new image, so that the system partition can expand. BTW what is the exact boot partition you deleted?

i did the instructions like you put on the side, i have unlocked the bootloader before, then set up the device and enabled usb debugging again, adb reboot fastboot, fastboot devices to see if its connected properly, then i deleted system_ext, and product, then i got my bootslot, it was a, i deleted b then i tried to flash and it said there was too little space, then i deleted a aswell and then it didn't find the file / directory

do you have a telegram, maybe i could send you a video of me trying :0

also rn i reflashed firmware so i can try again

ok i tried the commands and it works now, it is booting! interestingly i lost no userdata when installing this
