Palma 2 Pro - rooting?
Hi,

I purchased Palma 2 Pro two weeks ago. And I was trying to root it with edl. But was not successful so far. Even when I run in in liveDVD environment, it always fails with this error:

Code:
sahara - [LIB]: Error: Cannot receive specified number of program headers
So probably not correct loader.
I tried all loaders edl matched as "possible loader".
Also tried this one (I did found that OnePlus Nord CE 5G has same Qualcomm chipset as Palma 2 Pro)

Any ideas what to try next? Or has anyone rooted Palma 2 Pro?

See this page for the Palma 2 loader. I don't know if it also works for the Palma 2 Pro.

The Palma2 and the Palma2Pro seem to be different processors.

The message "... program headers ..." is pure nonsense, but indicates a problem.

Please quote the HWID and the PK hash.

Try using my Windows EDL client in my sig.

Unfortunately not able to test Windows EDL now, since in past 10 years I had no Win computer. And no Windows bootable machine is in sight for me in next ~3 days.
Will do more testing on Linux in meantime. But I believe that I will find some Win machine on weekend.

Yes, Palma 2 and Palma 2 Pro has totally different chipset/CPU.
I found so far that those phones have same Qualcomm CPU:
Code:
Samsung Galaxy A52 5G
OnePlus Nord CE 5G
Fairphone 4
Motorola Moto G 5G

Hmm, that's strange because it appears to be the same Qualcomm chip as the Palma2.
But Qualcomm goes crazy with JEDEC numbers, Snapdragon numbers, codenames, part numbers.
The only real check is to see what's written on the IC itself.

Stupid question: This is the third Palma and still no GPS?

It does have GPS. Just tested it now.


I was thinking that it will be easy after I found "working" loader from Samsung A52. But I am at another dead end right now.

I patched active boot image with Magisk. But when flashing it back to Palma, it ends up with this

Code:
edl --loader=palma2pro_from_a52.elf --memory=ufs w boot_b partitions/boot_b_patched.img

program,read,nop,patch,configure,setbootablestoragedrive,erase,power,firmwarewrite,getstorageinfo,benchmark,emmc,ufs,fixgpt,getsha256digest
modules
modules - [LIB]: 'Logger' object has no attribute 'loglevel'
firehose - 
Writing to physical partition 4, sector 258954, sectors 24576
Progress: |██████████| 100.0% Write (Sector 0x6000 of 0x6000, ) 0.25 MB/s                                          
firehose
firehose - [LIB]: Error:{}
Error writing partitions/boot_b_patched.img to sector 258954.
And boot image is unchanged.

Any ideas? Could loader be still the problem?

Mmm, see if you can find a Windows machine.
I really can't handle error messages that make no sense.
