Help me rooting the Go 10.3

@Renate can you host your loader on your github?

@func do you need a tutorial ? I can make one Saturday if you can wait?

I'm still trying to figure a good way to sign it to make it clear that this is not Samsung signed anymore and still have a way to make it consistent moving forward. I'd like to have only one MD5 for this.

I offered func the Firehose loader, but as a newb they can't receive PMs. I've asked for mod help on this.

Looks like I'm late to the party. Can the loader be used on the GO 7?

You tell me!

Hey, you Go users! Please try/use the Firehose loader here (new version):

I have a Go 10.3, and I tried to root it just yesterday. My main computer is a Mac. Using the loader Renate provided, I had no difficulty in getting my Go into edl mode. I was able to get my boot.img and had Magisk do its work on it. My efforts came to a halt when I tried to boot my Go from my Mac with the Magisked boot.img. It looks like fastboot on my Go doesn't recognize flash or boot commands.

Soooo....

Is there some other way that would allow me to complete this operation with my Mac?
Or, do I need to use a Windows device and the eel utility that Renate has available?
If I need to go Windows, I'll need to set that device up for adb. Would Minimal adb and Fastboot suffice, or would it need the whole SDK installed?
The edl commends on Windows seem to be slightly different than on the Mac. Could someone offer a step-by-step thing as to how I'd go about this on Windows, or does such a guide exist already?

Rooting my Go isn't a must, but it would be nice to have. Thanks for your help!


Edit: I had recently installed the latest update to my Tab Mini C which had been rooted. I then did this edl process on the Tab Mini C (which worked flawlessly before) and find that I run into the same "command unknown" error when I try to fastboot boot or flash the Magisk-edited boot.img. Looks like Onyx is doing this to more devices!

The fashionistas (who?) have decided that fastboot doesn't go well with the fall collection.

You can use an EDL client (even the Python one) to flash the boot_a or boot_b partition.

I haven't used an EDL client before. Any suggestions? Is this the kind of thing you mean?

The well-known generic Python one is https://github.com/bkerler/edl/

Although I must have found fault with it to write my own native Windows one. http://www.temblast.com/edl.htm

I had already installed that well-known generic Python one! I figured out that I needed to flash to boot_b. Now my Go is rooted!

Thanks, Renate!
