That's alright, nobody does.
When A/B first came up it was two complete copies of the core bits of the operating system.
Simple, easy. Something breaks, just switch to the other slot.
Then they came up with "virtual A/B". One slot is real, the other slot is just a list of differences to the other slot.
As you can see that makes things a lot more complicated.
The ext4 partition /metadata keeps track of all that stuff.
I forget, did you already try with the stock recovery and adb sideload?
Was your device already unlocked? Had you been running Magisk?
I'm still trying to figure out why it says:
Code:
Logical partition metadata has invalid geometry magic signature
Because the man.img out of the super that you gave me has the normal two copies of geometry with the correct magic.
I see this problem on other devices but no indication of what it's all about.
You can try wiping out the manifest of super.
Code:
edl /f /psuper /c2048
