Nope. Don't use any of those Firehose loaders.
Tell me when you're ready to try a new one. Last edited by Renate; 07-01-2024 at 07:28 PM. |

Ok, let's see some action here!
The GoCo7 should use the standard procedures as anything else. The GoCo7 and the Go103 use the same processor, SM6225 (and the same Firehose loader). The GoCo7 is eMMC and the Go103 is UFS. The Firehose loader for both is (temporarily) https://github.com/bkerler/Loaders/issues/97 First, enable Developer options, enable USB debugging, install Windows ADB drivers. Code:
adb reboot edl Code:
edl /lsm6225.bin edl /g -- just for fun and a sanity check edl /r /pboot_a boot.img edl /z |

I got a problem in leaf 3c, the chinese versions of Go7Color. After using fastboot to flash some firwmare. I think i made some mistake. 1. delete-logical-partition system_b 2. fail flash on system_a 3. Current slot is a, while the previous bootable is b Currently: it only boot loop to fastboot (not fastbootd), non of flash command work, the set slot not work as well. I just order an edl cable just in case. I need yours advise, please help if possible Last edited by hotrungnhan; 07-28-2024 at 11:28 AM. |

Yes, recent abl's have had some fastboot commands ripped out of them.
There might be EDL test points inside, but the OEM has been making them more obscure. It's also a question of how easily the device opens up. You can get to EDL by killing xbl, but that could be risky. An EDL cable would probably work, but that's up to the OEM too. You can make an EDL easily enough, but timing and wakkliy connections can make life more difficult. |

We've got a Firehose loader for this so it can always be rescued.
It's just a question of how much trouble. I can guarantee that if it were here I could get it working within half an hour. There are EDL test points inside. If anybody pops one of these puppies open I'd like some good photos. |

Hey I just wanted to say thanks very much to you @Renate!
I managed to root my GoColor 7 thanks to the edl loader that you wrote, and I wouldn't have been ready to use my device without root, so thanks a lot! To those who are struggling to understand the process like me before, here is a little explanation: Code:
# Rooting works by patching the boot.img firmware partition with magisk # To obtain (and flash) the boot.img we extract it directly from the device using EDL mode and a specific loader # The custom loader can be found here: https://github.com/bkerler/Loaders/issues/97 # Extract boot.img via edl edl --loader=sm6225.bin r boot_a boot.img # Patch the extracted boot.img with magisk, the usual way # Flash the patched image edl --loader=sm6225.bin w boot_a $HOME/Downloads/tmp_boox/magisk_patched-boot.img I don't have great experience with android, is this how it supposed to be or do I miss a step in the process ? PS: the commands I gave above may vary depending on your OS etc, its more to describe the process. |

If flashing to only slot A does not work, that probably means A is not the active slot. The active slot can alternate between A and B, depending on how you update. You can determine which slot is active with this adb command: adb shell getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix It will return _a or _b. There is probably a way to get the active slot with edl, but I don't know how offhand. |

My goal is to replace the launcher. It appears that on the latest firmware this thing is irreplaceable. I tried with hidden android settings, but still I can't set it to "Simple Ink Launcher". Removing ksync breaks their loader and library... Last edited by sashsz; 11-10-2024 at 11:01 AM. |
