Some sites:

gollark: So I tried flashing a generic system image from fastboot. Guess what? Apparently the system partition doesn't exist. That cannot possibly be standard-compliant.
gollark: See, I tried unlocking the bootloader then flashing an unofficial TWRP build, and *that* completes with no errors, but guess what? It doesn't *do anything*. It reboots a bit, and then I get the stock recovery somehow.
gollark: HOW IS THIS BOOTING
gollark: HOW IS THERE NOT A SYSTEM PARTITION
gollark: ÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆææ this makes absolutely no sense
