What is FastbootD? How to Boot to FastbootD Mode

In this tutorial, we will explain you what is FastbootD Mode in Android, how to boot to FastbootD Mode and how to exit this mode.

www.droidwin.com

*Limitation of FastbootD
FastbootD not the same as regular "fastboot", impossible to use fastbootd without " Dynamic partition. etc., dynamic partitions are automatically created, resized, or deleted as needed.

*FastbootD has access in logical partition like Super Partition.
( have odm +product+vendor+system partition inside) , Because dynamic partitions are implemented in userspace, partitions needed by the bootloader can't be made dynamic. For example, boot, dtbo, and vbmeta are read by the bootloader, and so must remain as physical partitions.

then
You can't uses by fastbootD performed

Code:

 fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmata vbmeta.img

✓ Not enough space to resize partition solution
Solution:
Removing stock system_ext and/or product from fastbootd is enough, like so:

***Don't uses this command

"fastboot delete-logical-partition product"

why ?
the product partition, with around 1.3GB in size isn’t even required by the GSIs.

then you can delete data on product partition.

*(Didn't delete product partition itself but deletes only data inside this partition , then android will auto-resize product'spartition.)
Do this.

Code:

 adb reboot fastboot

Code:

 fastboot erase product

set the size of the product partition to 0

Code:

 fastboot resize-logical-partition product  0x0

To verify if the partition size has become 0.

Code:

 fastboot getvar all

If one of the lines shows the below code, then the process is a success.

Code:

 (bootloader) partition-size:product:0x0

or
>fastboot erase system_ext
>fastboot resize-logical-partition system_ext 0x0

The readme only leads me to the package's website which does not tell me which specific command I have to run after adb shell. I then went to the Telegram group which basically tells me this: "adb root then adb shell or adb shell then su" and then "just run the script" Uh-huh. How do I run the script? "running it".

1. install root explorer app. (such as Mixplorer)
2. create directory "gapps" or anyname at /data
such as /data/gapps
3. extract archrive " TitaTheGapps.zip" to dir from 2
4. open terminal adb shell ----then su then
cd /data/gapps/tita
chmod +x ./installer.sh
5. add more space for new gapps by delete some unuseful from "/system/system_ext/apex"
Del "android.vndk.v.28,29,30,32 keep only v31
6. run script---> sh ./installer.sh

note you can use command "mount -o rw,remount /system" or used root explorer do it. (changes RO to RW) before mod system.

Here is what I did to install GApps on AOSP A13:

Get TheGappsInstaller-Tita archive here: https://github.com/ChonDoit/TheGappsInstaller/releases/tag/Tita (specifically: TitaTheGapps_Terminal_20221225.tar.xz)

Extract the tar archive from the tar.xz file

Follow instructions below (credits: ozmage)

adb push TitaTheGapps_Terminal_20221225.tar /sdcard/Download
adb root
adb shell
cd /data
mkdir GAPPS
mv /sdcard/Download/TitaTheGapps_Terminal_20221225.tar GAPPS
cd GAPPS
tar xvpf TitaTheGapps_Terminal_20221225.tar
cd TitaTheGapps_Terminal_20221225
chmod a+x ./installer.sh
sh ./installer.sh

Thank you.
I have one question though.
My tab is already updated to SM-T225XXU1CWA2. In the firs step, can I just simply flash with ODIN your attached fastbootd-recovery.tar in AP slot and the 3-in-1.tar in USERDATA slot without including the stock framework file (AP, BL, CP, CSC)?

1. flash only 3in1.tar at AP slot. (magisk 25.2 + vbmeta + recovery-patch)
-install gsi
2. remove SU by
adb shell Enter
su Enter
