[upd]: Fdl2 Failed
In the ResearchDownload tool, go to and try ticking "Active Write Flash" or "Repartition" if the partition table is incompatible.

Upon forensic analysis of the logs, the "FDL2 failed" event was traced to three compounding errors:
Node failure is a statistical inevitability in distributed systems. In the FDL2 protocol, if a single node failed to report within the strict timeout window, the aggregation round was paused. However, due to a coding oversight in the exception handler, a timeout was misinterpreted as data corruption. The central server attempted to roll back the global model, but the majority of nodes had already successfully pushed their gradients. This created a version mismatch: the server was attempting to roll back to state $S_t-1$ while active nodes were operating on state $S_t$. In the ResearchDownload tool, go to and try
If a phone has suffered severe physical drops, liquid exposure, or a degraded storage chip, FDL2 will fail to initialize the memory controller, signaling an unrecoverable hardware fault. How to Fix the "FDL2 Failed" Error
Once resolved, adopt these practices to avoid recurrence: Press and hold the Volume Down (or both
To permanently fix the error, it helps to understand what these files do during the UNISOC recovery and flashing process:
