EDL on a Boox Note3

middle_tree · Yesterday, 12:28 PM

Hi.

I have a Boox Note3 (non-Air) that I would like to have a complete backup of.

I can't seem to get EDL working. Renate's utility says

Code:

HWID: 000cc0e100000000, JTAG: 000cc0e1, OEM: 0000, Model: 0000
Hash: 7be49b72f9e43372-23ccb84d6eccca4e-61ce16e3602ac200-8cb18b75babe6d09 (x3)

which seems to say that it uses the same loader as Poke3/Leaf.
This is a UFS device. cat /proc/scsi/scsi returns flash model "KM5H7001DM-B424".

From scrolling through older posts (can't seem to find it now), someone tried to use EDL on a Note3 a while ago and couldn't get it to work either.

Any suggestions?

Then when I ask it to reboot

Code:

<log value="ERROR: Failed to initialize (open whole lun) UFS Device slot 0 partition 0"/>
<log value="ERROR: Failed to open the device 3 slot 0 partition 0"/>

<log value="ERROR 14: Line 1270: HANDLE_STORAGE_INFO_FAILURE"/>
Requesting reboot... ok

This is all using the driver from Zadig.
Bkerler's Linux EDL tool (what I originally used) said the same.

I tested the using QFIL (replacing the driver with QDLoader 9008 driver), essentially the same stuff (reading partitions).

Renate · Yesterday, 05:07 PM

Yup, you did most of the correct things.
Your device is UFS (as confirmed by the chip number) and an SDM636.
The Poke3 loader (which I've used a zillion times on the Poke3/eMMC) seems to misbehave on UFS.
It could be that the OEM tried to patch something in and broke things.

Normally the Firehose protocol allows something to blather as much as it likes but it must end with an ACK or a NAK and then shut up after that. The fact that the edl /z shows queued up messages shows that it broke that contract.

Ok, you'll have to do some 'spearminting.

Code:

edl /lnote3.bin
edl /u /i /v
edl /x /v "<getstorageinfo slot='0' physical_partition_number='0'/>"

I'm not sure that "slot" is interpreted.
I'm not sure if you have a non-standard slot.
Play with slot, small numbers and partition 0-6.
Note anything different.
Be aware that messages can queue up to the next command.

middle_tree · Yesterday, 05:37 PM

edl /u /i /v returns the same as edl /u /g /v.
As you said, output seems to get queued to the next one, and running edl with the custom XML returns

Code:

<log value="ERROR: Failed to initialize (open whole lun) UFS Device slot 0 partition 0"/>
<log value="ERROR: Failed to open the device 3 slot 0 partition 0"/>

regardless of the slot and partition I put (always says slot 0 partition 0, which seems to be from /u /i /v). Further commands just returns "bad XML".

I forgot to mention, in between edl /u /g /v and edl /r /u0 test.img /s0 /c1 /v, I had to reset, it just says "no response".

Renate · Yesterday, 05:57 PM

I was not clear.
Do the /l once
Do the /u /i /v once
Do the /x /v multiple times in a row, changing as you go.
Of course you can do the same /x twice in a row then you get the delayed results.
You must be able to get different partitions numbers at least.
Leave /g and /r alone.

Do you have an xbl from an update? In payload.bin?

middle_tree · Yesterday, 06:12 PM

Sorry, I wasn't clear, let me try to explain again.
I did the /u /i /v, followed by /x /v.
The first time I run /x /v right after /u /i /v always returns, regardless of the slot/partition number I put in,

Code:

Failed to open the device 3 slot 0 partition 0

Anything else I run after that returns either "bad XML" or "no response".

Attached xbl.
I forgot to mention, I do have root already (fastboot flash boot, etc.), so let me know if there's any partition that you want to look at.

Thanks!

Renate · Yesterday, 07:36 PM

Please try this Firehose loader

middle_tree · Yesterday, 08:47 PM

Nope, same thing

.

Renate · Yesterday, 09:37 PM

And you tried from a clean reset? Then /l, then /u /g?

That's very strange that they both work the same.
I can run that new loader on my Poke3.
Most loaders support a dozen different processor models.

Well, if I had one of these here I could blow through 900 loaders in the time it takes to do the dishes.

middle_tree · Yesterday, 10:58 PM

Previous post disappeared for some reason.

Yeah, this is always right after adb reboot edl.
Is checking the output of /u /g (and whatever overflows) enough to tell if the loader is working correctly or not? As in, I run /u /g, then /z. The output of /z carries some information from /u /g that I could just parse.
If I need to run anything else that's not /z after /u /g, it will return either "no response" or "cannot write", and I have to then hard reset by holding down power button.

By the way, I looked through the Boox devices I know of, only Max Lumi is the other one with 636 and UFS. I couldn't find anyone with working EDL there.

Renate · Today, 06:55 AM

Ok, I did some of the work for you. I checked 1003 loaders on my Poke3 (SDM636). There are 31 that work. I suggest that you go to the bkerler and hoplik repos and either clone or zip them down to your local drive. The paths given are for local files.

I double checked and pulled a partition via EDL and double checked its hash against the partition pulled from live system, same values!
Time to party!

Thanks so much!

I'm glad that it worked out.
It's funny that that is one of the older ones.

Your device is UFS (as confirmed by the chip number) and an SDM636. The Poke3 loader (which I've used a zillion times on the Poke3/eMMC) seems to misbehave on UFS. It could be that the OEM tried to patch something in and broke things. Normally the Firehose protocol allows something to blather as much as it likes but it must end with an ACK or a NAK and then shut up after that. The fact that the edl /z shows queued up messages shows that it broke that contract. Ok, you'll have to do some 'spearminting. Code: edl /lnote3.bin edl /u /i /v edl /x /v "<getstorageinfo slot='0' physical_partition_number='0'/>" I'm not sure that "slot" is interpreted. I'm not sure if you have a non-standard slot. Play with slot, small numbers and partition 0-6. Note anything different. Be aware that messages can queue up to the next command.

As you said, output seems to get queued to the next one, and running edl with the custom XML returns Code: <log value="ERROR: Failed to initialize (open whole lun) UFS Device slot 0 partition 0"/> <log value="ERROR: Failed to open the device 3 slot 0 partition 0"/> regardless of the slot and partition I put (always says slot 0 partition 0, which seems to be from /u /i /v). Further commands just returns "bad XML". I forgot to mention, in between edl /u /g /v and edl /r /u0 test.img /s0 /c1 /v, I had to reset, it just says "no response".

Do the /l once Do the /u /i /v once Do the /x /v multiple times in a row, changing as you go. Of course you can do the same /x twice in a row then you get the delayed results. You must be able to get different partitions numbers at least. Leave /g and /r alone. Do you have an xbl from an update? In payload.bin?

Renate Wizard Posts: 2,696 Karma: 11749035 Join Date: Feb 2012 Device: Nook NST, Glow2, 3, 4, '21, Kobo Aura2, Poke3, Poke5	And you tried from a clean reset? Then /l, then /u /g? That's very strange that they both work the same. I can run that new loader on my Poke3. Most loaders support a dozen different processor models. Well, if I had one of these here I could blow through 900 loaders in the time it takes to do the dishes.

middle_tree Junior Member Posts: 7 Karma: 10 Join Date: Jul 2024 Device: Boox Note 3	Previous post disappeared for some reason. Yeah, this is always right after adb reboot edl. Is checking the output of /u /g (and whatever overflows) enough to tell if the loader is working correctly or not? As in, I run /u /g, then /z. The output of /z carries some information from /u /g that I could just parse. If I need to run anything else that's not /z after /u /g, it will return either "no response" or "cannot write", and I have to then hard reset by holding down power button. By the way, I looked through the Boox devices I know of, only Max Lumi is the other one with 636 and UFS. I couldn't find anyone with working EDL there.
