OTA DFU Stuck in pending

[qualry]

I have adapted and incorporated the NCS OTA DFU sample into my project. Initially, FOTA updates have been working. Now, after pushing an update, the image is stuck pending in slot=1 (see mcumgr output below). It does not swap to slot=0 after a reset. Additionally, I can't erase or overwrite this image from slot=1. I get various errors like "Mcu Mgr Error: BAD_STATE (6)" or "Mcu Mgr Error: NO_MEMORY (2)".

This device is already deployed so programming pins are inaccessible; remote management is the only way I can possibly recover this.

Lastly, and I'm not sure if this matters, I wanted to use the LittleFS but it was conflicting with NVS so I made this change the nrf repo:
devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../308671

Is there any I can complete this update or cancel it and start a new one?

sudo mcumgr --conntype ble <connection string> image list

> But I haven't seen the issue DFU Stuck in pending in your test. Could you clarify ?

See how in step 9 I do an image reset and (20e3bbe) goes into pending? After a device reset in step (20e3bbe) remains in slot 1 with the pending flag instead of swapping into slot 0. It stays like this indefinitely.

The solution that I'm going with moving forward is to simply not allow the partition layout to change between OTA upgrades by using a pm_static.yml file.
