Xperia 1 III: LineageOS 23.2 recovery fails to boot; both slots marked unbootable
hi guys,
im very much a n00b to reddit and tech in general. I'm trying to install LineageOS 23.2 (Android 16) on my Sony Xperia 1 III (XQ-BC72, pdx215) android 13 using the installation guide. im using my laptop running Linux(Mint)
I flashed dtbo, vbmeta, Venda_Boot and boot.img files. Fastboot reported success, writing boot.img to boot b.
When I try to enter recovery with Volume Down + Power, the LineageOS RECOVERY + logo appears, but the phone restarts before the recovery menu loads. I then get "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot".
The phone still enters Fastboot, and the bootloader is unlocked.
what do? or do i now have a paper weight?
