You're going around in circles a bit.
"adb reboot bootloader" brings you to the abl with fastboot and a blank screen "adb reboot fastboot" brings you to recovery with fastbootd and a menu "adb reboot edl" is what I mostly use these days. The NoteAir2[Plus] uses the SDM662 chip. The Firehose loader is: https://github.com/bkerler/Loaders/b...4665_FHPRG.bin Edit: Oops, I meant 2. Last edited by Renate; 08-28-2024 at 06:04 AM. |

In my case, that was: edl.exe /u0 /r u0.img edl.exe /u1 /r u1.img edl.exe /u2 /r u2.img edl.exe /u3 /r u3.img edl.exe /u4 /r u4.img edl.exe /u4 /r u5.img Then, the moment of truth: edl.exe /u /w /pboot_a <you modified boot image>.img edl.exe /z |

Once you know what you're doing you can combine a few operations in a single line.
This can be helpful when reading or writing big chunks or the entire flash. Putting the /z on the same line will cause it to reboot when done. Then you can hear the disconnect and know that it's done when doing something else. Code:
edl /lpoke5.bin /r backup.img /z |

Edit: In all my searching I somehow failed to go one page back in the thread and see what had changed with fastboot, oops.
When I get a chance, I'll try to translate the commands provided to the bkerler/edl utility and report back on how it went. Last edited by Herschenglime; 10-01-2024 at 10:09 PM. Reason: Accidentally made duplicate post |

Has anyone had luck rooting firmware version 3.5.4?
Since the last firmware update I got (v3.5 in November 2023), I've changed Linux distros and have lost my previous bkerler/edl install and working loader file . I've tried reinstalling and getting the loader again, but I'm unable to extract the boot img with the edl utility. I'm wondering if I just messed something up with my new environment/edl install, or if the new firmware might have somehow changed the process of extracting boot images? Any others' experiences would be greatly appreciated, thank you! |

It seems like my issues were with the loader I was supplying - I found the one I used before from a backup but even that didn't work.
However, everything just worked when I let edl figure out the loader by itself without me having to specify one. I was able to successfully send the boot.img to my device, patch it, and then send it back. However, I seem to have run into the issue mentioned by Renate here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...6&postcount=21 It seems Onyx has kneecapped fastboot and I am not able to use it to make the Boox boot with the patched image. Has anyone figured out a workaround, or are these devices unrootable for now? Thanks again! |

You can use an EDL client to write the modified boot image back.
Of if you already have a rooted normal system or a rooted and ADB enabled recovery you can use the dd command: Code:
dd if=/cache/magisk_whatever.img of=/dev/block/by-name/recovery_a |
