Hello everyone.

I just bricked my Page 7 while trying to root it, and of course I didn't make a backup of my partitions

I followed the instructions of this page:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=357269

I actually followed instructions for a Poke 5 because I had understood that the rooting process was the same.

I skipped the update because I already had the latest firmware. I downloaded a version on my computer following https://www.redditmedia.com/r/Onyx_B..._firmware_for/.

It was only at the last flashing step that I had to improvise because the command wasn't available from flashboot.

So I tried to do the same thing from EDL:

Code:

$ edl w boot_a magisk_patched-28100_xGayU.img
$ edl w vbmeta_a vbmeta.img

No error but the device is now bricked. On boot it gets stuck on the logo. It flashes and restarts, indefinitely.

I can enter EDL mode with a cable following these instructions: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=361279.

How can I get out of this mess?

Thank you very much for your help.
