Help me rooting the Go Color 7

SleepWithMachine · 06-20-2024, 07:46 AM

where to start please ?

debugging turned on, connected over USB, in Windows device manager listed as ADB Device, android composite ADB interface. Guess no driver is needed ?

Device: GoColor7
Model: GoColor7
Brand: Onyx
Android: 12
Firmware: 2024-06-14_05-27_3.5.3_80cba0e00

it can enter recovery /fastboot mode

There was already a new firmware via OTA, but it is not available on the onxy site for download

Edit: Are the steps described in this guide the same or useful in any way?

edit2: the above guide seems to work until :

\edl.exe /l662.elf

Sending 662.elf 100% ok, starting... ok, waiting for Firehose... no response, poking...
Could not write device

i assume its because of the wrong loader file, i need one for the QTI SM6225 ?

Renate · 06-20-2024, 12:11 PM

So, here's the latest update:

Code:

Model:  GoColor7 (English)
Finger: Onyx/GoColor7/GoColor7:11/2024-06-14_05-27_3.5.3_80cba0e00/5209:user/release-keys

MD5:    d08ae8f901b66505094edbabef4874a6

We don't have the keys for this, so it's up to you.
Please post /system/lib64/libota_jni.so (if it's there).

You apparently have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G SM6225
Now you need a Firehose loader. Here is a shot in the dark:
https://github.com/hoplik/Firehose-F...rehose_ddr.elf

Yes, Chitter did a nice write-up.

SleepWithMachine · 06-20-2024, 01:51 PM

libota_jni.so isnt there

firehose_ddr.elf seems to match

Code:

but downloading fails anyway

yes, thanks for the write up to chitter
and thank you too, renata

Oh, so they're getting sneaky?
How about /system/priv-app/OnyxOtaService/OnyxOtaService.apk
Or if they screwed around with the name?

Well, I can look at killing VIP. We have that luxury.

Renate · 06-20-2024, 08:01 PM

Here's two others that you can try. I think that the first is very likely.

https://github.com/hoplik/Firehose-F...ephgsm_com.elf

https://github.com/hoplik/Firehose-F...fhprg_peek.bin

SleepWithMachine · 06-21-2024, 03:13 AM

with the first one

Code:

Found EDL 9008, configuring... ok
Requesting info on LUN 0... no ack/nak

the 2nd one (bin) returns

Code:

Error 0x29, Incompatible ELF file header

messed around with firehose finder, no success

Renate · 06-21-2024, 07:32 AM

Oops, that 2nd one was just wrong, forget it.

The first one, did you remember the "/u" ?

Code:

edl /lA235F_LOADER_BIT5_Alephgsm_com.elf
edl /u /i /v

And how about that apk?

SleepWithMachine · 06-21-2024, 08:10 AM

the apk is there but i cant pull it (0 byte after download)

Code:

edl /lA235F_LOADER_BIT5_Alephgsm_com.elf
edl /u /i /v

returns

Code:

Renate · 06-21-2024, 08:20 AM

Well, try it without the /u (but I can't believe it's not UFS).

Are you sure that you're using the double name and getting the apk and not the directory?
Try:

Code:

cp /system/priv-app/OnyxOtaService/OnyxOtaService.apk /sdcard
^D
adb pull sdcard/OnyxOtaService.apk

Ok

cannot opend in editor anyway

SleepWithMachine · 06-21-2024, 10:09 AM

Could you please get libota_jni.so ?

The last EDL experiment you got all "OK"s. Why didn't you pursue it from there?
Apparently this is eMMC, so don't ever say "/u".

Code:

edl /lwhatever.bin
edl /i
edl /g
edl /r /pboot_a boota.img

SleepWithMachine · 06-21-2024, 11:20 AM

this worked so far and i patched the image, yeah !

but it cant be written

Sending 'boot.img' (98304 KB) OKAY [ 2.448s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed

Ya killing me.
What was the exact command you typed?
Were you "fastboot boot" -ing?
As long as you have the original boot image safely backed up, you can:

Code:

fastboot flash boot_a Magisked-whatever
fastboot reboot

BUT, first verify which slot you are on:

Code:

fastboot getvar
fastboot getvar all

Make sure that the boot image you are using is from the active slot.

How's that libota_jni.so coming along?
