edl is great for this task: you just enter this mode, then make backups or restore them by writing them onto NAND. works like a charm if you screw up

The simplest is to make a full, raw backup of your device.
This will take a bunch of space on your desktop, 128 GB for the TUC, I think. And because it's raw, you won't even be able to cherry pick a single user file off the encrypted user data partition when a truck runs over your device. But it will allow you to restore your device exactly as it was to a point in time. So, backup directly all useful files. Make a full, raw backup before upgrades that you might not wish or dangerous experiments. You're on Mac, so you're stuck with the Python EDL client. Hey! Did anyone post the /system/lib64/libota_jni.so (or figure out the update strings) for the TUC yet? Please do, so I can get the strings for the next update whenever it comes.

I used rf to make the backup, and it ended up giving me 6 backup files *.lunX (0 through 5). I was then able to use wf *.lunX --lun=X to restore successfully.
Code:
python3 edl --loader=Loaders/qualcomm/factory/sdm855/000a50e10029003c_ec70ff124179a138_fhprg.bin wf deviceBackup1.lun5 --lun=5 |

Um, yeah, I spaced. eMMC gives you a single file, UFS is usually six separate "devices" and therefore six files.

It just depends whether the xbl has the check inside the code. The best way to test is to power down your device fully without USB connected. Hold the button and plug in. Wait 2 seconds. The abl is where secret button presses do magic things. I don't have any with buttons, so I can't say. abl also will do magic things based upon characters coming in on the internal 1.8V debug UART. Just to show you how obscure this stuff is, if you hit Backspace over 100 times it will go to recovery, if you hit it only over 50 times it will go to EDL. There are also internal test points to force it to go to EDL. In the past they were very conspicuous, over time they have become inconspicuous. |

Holding volume up and down and then inserting usb-c cable already connected to the computer puts it into edl mode. EDL mode can be exited by removing the cable, and then holding the power and volume up until the screen flashes.
Holding down just volume up and then inserting usb-c cable already connected to the computer boots it into recovery. |

This sounds like a simple case of the file not being there.
Code:
dir 662.elf Edit: I even double-checked. I can load a loader while it's already open in another application. Last edited by Renate; 02-01-2024 at 08:15 PM. |

When I get home I'll try to rename the file then because it's definitely there(when unzipped it's called Qualcomm...)
