Recover hard-bricked Max Lumi 2
I flashed the payload.bin extracted from Boox Update v3.5.4 onto sector 0. I didn't have any backup of the GPT table, so I couldn't flash the right files again. My device is now hard-bricked, so no fastboot (which was crippled with v3.5.3 anyway). Correct me if I'm wrong, I can use QDL https://github.com/linux-msm/qdl to flash new firmware, right? I just need the .mdn, rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml files, where can I find them? Or can someone guide me to recover GPT table?
Thanks |

900e is system crash. You can't do anything from there.
You want 9008, which is EDL mode. Flashing payload.bin is exactly the wrong thing to do, especially to sector 0. You've wiped out the MBR & GPT of LUN 0 or which LUN? You should be able to restore from the backup GPT (but not directly). I forget how they are mirrored. AFAIK, there are none of those XML files for Onyx available (although they could be created). Don't go crazy flashing stuff. All that rawprogram and patch stuff is really designed for factory flashing of blank devices. Edit: The GPT entries from backup will be correct. The GPT headers will need current_lba & backup_lba swapped, entries_lba changed and header_crc recalculated. Last edited by Renate; Today at 03:23 AM. |

The complicated stuff like LBA and GUID and names is already in the backup GPT.
You just need to shuffle the stuff around to make a main GPT. Instead of doing something useful I just spent the morning writing a utility to do just that. The bigger problem is that you wiped out a lot of stuff in LUN 0 too. You'll have to get it from somebody because most of that stuff is not in updates. |
