Thank you, your imgutil.exe is great!
Tidy and quick extraction/overwriting.
Yes, I also couldn't "fastboot boot recovery_mod.bin". It just leapfrogged ahead to usual boot of and un-modded boot, where Magisk is not working Oo. Maybe some locks present?
vendor.bin , which I dumped among many other things today, contains /etc/fstab.qcom , which contains
Code:
/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system / ext4 ro,barrier=1,discard wait,verify
Do you think it will allow me to boot if I remove ",verify" and overwrite the vendor partition with edl?
