Request: Note3 stock recovery image
Trying to apply the latest firmware update to my Note3, but unfortunately I was hacking around on this device last year and in the process replaced the stock recovery with one from Renate, and it doesn't look like I saved a dump of the original anywhere (d'oh!!) So now I am stuck in a boot-to-recovery loop because this custom one doesn't know to apply the downloaded update.
Is there anyone out there who has used EDL to extract the stock partitions from a Note3, and has a recovery.img they can send me? I would be most grateful. |

If you have my recovery you can just run the normal recovery from there.
Code:
# start recovery |

Hi Renate,
Tried "start recovery" which led to a screen saying "send the package... with 'adb sideload filename'". I already have a decrypted update.zip so I tried that, and got an error message "adb: sideload connection failed: closed". Now what? |

Thanks Renate!
I can't find the OTG stick I got from last time we were messing with this so I've just ordered one to arrive tomorrow and will try this when it arrives. |

OK, I applied the update - I think successfully - but it's still booting to the recovery :-( whatever Onyx does to force recovery mode on next boot was not undone by the update script.

I'm glad that it all worked out.
I'm working still on cleaning some stuff up. |

Still one lingering question: I've had no luck accessing the device in fastboot mode. I can't tell from our chat logs if I ever managed it last year. I can boot fastboot ok and the device shows up in usblog but the fastboot commands just can't see it. I want to re-root the device but if it requires prying it open to short the test points I probably won't bother unless/until I have another reason to do that.

No need. If your system is working, just
Code:
C:\>adb reboot edl Also, to get out of recovery: Code:
C:\>adb shell # start recovery Edit: If your device shows up in fastboot mode, but the fastboot program can't find it it may be that you have loaded Zadig drivers instead of the Stock Android ones. Go to Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) and check the driver. Is it "dw something (autogenerated)"? That's Zadig. It works with my "fastbogus" (patched fastboot), but you'll need the stock driver for the stock fastboot.exe Last edited by Renate; 02-07-2023 at 09:07 PM. |
