Then recently we got to know about the fastbootd. Beginning with Android 10, there is now support for resizable partitions. Since the userspace fastboot and recovery are near about similar, there stands a possibility of merging them into one partition. But what would be the benefit of the same? Well, it will lead to lowering the partition count on your device which in turn would save storage space as well. Apart from that, both the recovery and fastboot could now share the same kernel and libraries. To make your device support the same, the bootloader on your device should (or rather must) implement a new boot control block. This BCB should be related to the command of boot-fastboot. All in all, there’s quite a lot of perks associated with these new changes. But on the other hand, there seem to be a few issues as well. Many users have complained about the FAILED (remote: ‘Partition should be flashed in fastbootd’) error. If you are also facing it, then this guide is here to help you out. Follow along.
