Hi! I've been trying to root my new NA3C (via a macbook) for the past few days, and scouring so so many threads here, to no avail. I'm also getting the same issue of fastboot rejecting the commands that work in other threads. E.g.,
Code:
./fastboot flash boot ./magisk_patched.img -v
fastboot: verbose: Do flash boot_b /Users/me/workspace/boox_workspace/platform-tools/magisk_patched.img
fastboot: verbose: target reported max-download-size of 788750336 bytes
Sending 'boot_b' (98304 KB) OKAY [ 2.331s]
Writing 'boot_b' FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I've been learning a lot about low-level systems in the past few days solely because I really want my device rooted, so apologies for butchering any terms.
From what I gathered, is this the goal?
- Find a Firehose loader (.bin or .mbn) that works for the NA3C (or more specifically the Snapdragon 680?)
- Hop into EDL mode since it's lower level than fastboot (and fastboot is missing commands)
- Flash the boots (boot_a and boot_b?)
Just wanted to add a post here to give it some attention too. Good luck with the EDL search!
