Got my poke5 bricked for about half an hour. I had enough common sense to do full backup alongside boot/vbmeta partitions.

Funny thing was that I bricked it by flashing vbmeta from the unpacked 3.5 update. Had to DIY EDL cable and re-flashed the boot/vbmeta with backed-up files and then just flash magisk's patched boot.img and it worked!

Are you porting TWRP, or something different? Just wondering how to enter recovery on poke5 without volume buttons. When bricked I've tried some sequence found on the internet but fortunately plugging the EDL cable did the trick.

Thanks you for this tutorial, now I can make my reader really mine.
