Obtained a Nexus 5X on which to install Plasma OS, for porting software
which I am also porting to Sailfish and Tizen devices.
All going well except the final step, so I am requesting some advice
please.
I have successfully followed the instructions to unlock the phone's
bootloader
I have checked that there is a plugdev group on my Ubuntu 18.04 box, and
that my user name is a member of it
I have successfully fastboot formatted cache and userdata
I have downloaded pm-flashtool.git and run pm-flash when the phone is
booted into fastboot mode
pm-flash asks me to confirm my device is a bullhead device (this is
correct)
I type y for yes, and after a short delay the phone shows me the TWRP
3.0.2.2 main screen, while on the Linux box I see a repeating pattern of
adb shell
echo 1
test -x
echo +n
sleep 3
This is not what I was expecting, because no documentation, nor any
youtube videos, tell me this is what should happen. Have I done
something wrong, or should I now be selecting one of the options from
the TWRP main screen? In case security is an issue, I should tell you
that I am logged in to Ubuntu under my regular user name, but running
the fastboot commands under sudo.
With thanks for any advice.
