I don't know, don't remember. We can figure that out if you tell me the HWID/hash. More later.

Most things nowadays use A/B. Only one is active at a time. Flash the active one and you'll see a difference. Flash the inactive one and you won't notice. You can flash them both too. Many super partitions only have one "real" slot.

This is covered elsewhere.

Possible, but pointless. For most users looking for a simple way Magisk is the solution. For hard-core nuts (raises hand) there are better ways to modify a system.

ADB in normal system allows you to "reboot edl". You'll need a custom recovery to access ADB in recovery. The bootloader (fastboot) may support commands. An EDL cable on newer Onyx works. It's the basic one, that just shorts the green and black on the USB 2 pathway. In worse case there are test points inside that enable EDL mode. In worst cast disabling the flash memory compels EDL mode.

Rooting devices without an update. Flashing devices when all flashing commands have been removed from abl (fastboot).
