Hey I just wanted to say thanks very much to you @Renate!

I managed to root my GoColor 7 thanks to the edl loader that you wrote, and I wouldn't have been ready to use my device without root, so thanks a lot!

To those who are struggling to understand the process like me before, here is a little explanation:

Code:
# Rooting works by patching the boot.img firmware partition with magisk
# To obtain (and flash) the boot.img we extract it directly from the device using EDL mode and a specific loader
# The custom loader can be found here: https://github.com/bkerler/Loaders/issues/97

# Extract boot.img via edl
edl --loader=sm6225.bin r boot_a boot.img

# Patch the extracted boot.img with magisk, the usual way

# Flash the patched image
edl --loader=sm6225.bin w boot_a $HOME/Downloads/tmp_boox/magisk_patched-boot.img
I also have a question, if anyone can help: when flashing I actually flash to both slots A and B, as just A does not seem to be enough.
I don't have great experience with android, is this how it supposed to be or do I miss a step in the process ?


PS: the commands I gave above may vary depending on your OS etc, its more to describe the process.
