What happened to Byzantium luks variant?

[ssilvi]

A while back I was able to reflash my Librem 5 with the luks variant. Now, following the official instructions in this forum, I get an error running the flashing script. The script can locate the plain librem5r4 file and flash it successfully, but adding the ‘variant luks’ flag generates an “unable to locate matching image” message. I have seen a comment that says the latest Pureos images are already luks-encrypted, but after flashing there is no option to enter the default encryption password.

The Jenkins API is still broken, so use these instructions instead:

@FranklyFlawless

PureOS is a Debian derivative. The instructions below assume you are running Debian or any of its derivatives, such as PureOS, using the x86-64 architecture, and that your Librem 5 is from the Evergreen batch:

sudo apt install git uuu
git clone https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/librem5-flash-image.git
cd librem5-flash-image
sudo apt build-dep .
sudo ./scripts/librem5-flash-image --udev
./scripts/librem5-flash-image --stable

After the Byzantium image has been downloaded, you will see the following instructions:

Enter the flashing mode by holding volume-up button while turning the phone on.

            If it's not detected, follow these steps:
            - Ensure that the phone is powered off
            - Turn all Hardware-Kill-Switches off
            - Unplug the USB cable if connected
            - Remove battery
            - Hold volume-up button
            - Insert the USB-C cable (red light blinks, no green light)
            - Reinsert the battery (red and green lights constantly on, the script will continue)
            - Release volume-up button

After following those instructions, the Byzantium image will be flashed onto the phone, so during these 10 or so minutes, take a break and grab a ${DRINK_OF_CHOICE} until the procedure is complete.

@FranklyFlawless
Thanks very much. The install went off without a hitch.
