Changing the file extension of edl to.py was a start! I'm still a bit overwhelmed and not getting it working. Anyway I'm still much happier using Renate's edl.exe
I do need help to test boot my patched boot image and then to flash it.
If I follow Cascade94's post:
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot devices (yes it returns my device fine)
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot boot mypatched.img
I get the dreaded <waiting for any device> message and it just hangs and nothing happens. Now, if it just takes forever please let me know but I waited a good while on three attempts and that's not usually how that goes with booting/flashing. I tried using Cascade's image and my own patched image.
I tried the method that I use on my Boox Leaf:
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot devices (yes returns device)
fastboot boot mypatched.img
I get:
Code:
Sending 'boot.img' (98304 KB) OKAY [ 0.384s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'Unrecognized command boot')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I assume is something to do with having boot_a and boot_b and not a straight up boot partition?
If I get to adb reboot fastboot alone, I can't actually manually select to get into bootloader (or recovery for that matter) because I have no dang volume buttons to change the selection (do not get me started on this case it is horrible).
Is there another way? I could work out how to flash with Renate's edl.exe tool but the thing that worries me that way is I can't test the boot before flash like I usually do.
If people have suggestions that would be lovely thanks, otherwise Renate, if I have to go with edl.exe best I wait for a recovery just in case yeah?
Thanks all.
