I have had to do this while installing Lineage OS on my Moto X4. You can find the "copy partitions" ZIP file on the official installation site here:
Pre-install instructions
In some cases slot
b
can be unpopulated or contain much older firmware than slota
, leading to various issues including a potential hard-brick. We can ensure none of that will happen by copying the contents of slota
to slotb
. This step is NOT optional.
To do this, sideload the
copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip
package by doing the following:
- Download the
copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip
file from here.
- Sideload the
copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip
package:
- On the device, select “Advancedâ€, “ADB Sideloadâ€, then swipe to begin sideload
- On the host machine, sideload the package using:
adb sideload copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip
