[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0x1cSH:
this is the recovery partition straight from my hd8 2017

but i am very curious about a thing, if you look at booth the boot.img and the recovery partition they contains exactly the same data, in the same structure so why cant he simply flash boot.img?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bibikalka:
They do have a lot of similarities, that's why recovery is created by patching boot via a relatively small patch file. But, they are still different! That recovery menu is contained entirely within the recovery image, while the boot image does not do that.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4y0z:
Just to add to this, you don't need to flash the boot.img to use install-recovery.sh.

You can also modify the script to read boot from an img file.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bibikalka:
Do you care to post a script that does that, and writes into a recovery image file? The syntax of that patch command is a bit messy, so I would not mind having a debugged working script ;)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daveychan:
Hello again,

My apologies for the delay, work was busy this week, and I couldn't find the time to check the solution until now.

I'm so VERY HAPPY to report that all worked well, and the recovery.img and the command line you provided worked perfectly. (WOW! Thank you!)

For those who want the details, the message after the command in the terminal was:

==

#dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/recovery

----

34816+0 records in

34816+0 records out

17825792 bytes transferred in 1.159 secs (15380320 bytes/sec)

==

I then did a full power down, and then a started it up again while holding the top-left Volume key and the Power key, and look at that! I'm sitting at the Amazon system recovery screen again! <insert YAY! here>

I'm not sure if it matters, but I thought I'd mention it. At the bottom of the screen in orange letters, it says:

===

E:Error in /cache/recovery/last_kmsg

(No space left on device)

===

So, after a little bit of searching, I selected "wipe cache partition", rebooted again into recovery, and the error is gone now.

Another normal reboot started the "Optimizing apps..." thingy, but it finished quickly and I can confirm that all my stuff is still there. Just to be sure, I did another reboot to recovery, no error messages this time, and then another regular reboot, with no optimizing.

It appears that everything in my world is good again!

My sincerest gratitude and appreciation to all who helped contribute and support this solution.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

How would I port this fantastic ROM to the crosshatch?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] djcrystals:
I've had approximately 6 rootable, flashable phones over the years. My first was the original Galaxy phone. The Verizon Fascinate. That's the only phone I was able to flash MIUI on, in 2011. I've seen it requested on every device forum I've had since....and nothing. I'm sure there must be some significant hurdles involved.

Hi everyone. On my Moto G5 Plus I had Pixel Experience 9.0 installed, but upon TWRP update I received a bootloop. Both dirty and clean flashes of that ROM still ended in bootloops. I decided to return to stock 8.1.0

However, I now find that while adb commands work, fastboot commands do not, and obviously I need those to install the ROM

2. When going from U1 to U using modded Odin, do I have to do a factory reset prior to it, or can a simple dirty flash do the trick?

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] koocr:
Hello,

I just inherited a phone running LineageOS 15.1.

It's fully populated with apps & data, but its baseband is a bit old.

After taking LOS for a 1st spin, I'd like to keep LOS, but update the baseband.

I can of course reflash to a newer complete Stock, updating baseband in the process, and start over.

I'd rather not.

On a LOS install, can I, instead, safely heimdall-flash JUST a newer baseband in DL mode?

E.g., DL & fully extract a newer Stock ROM's CP, then just:

heimdall flash --APNHLOS CP_XXXXXXXXXXXXX/NON-HLOS.bin --MODEM CP_XXXXXXXXXXXXX/modem.bin --no-reboot

hopefully without affecting the LOS install ?

Or is more required?

-- koocr
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Ibuprophen:
If you're looking to update the modem and non-hlos, it won't affect the firmware itself as they are separate entities within the device.

UNLESS asked to do so, PLEASE don't PM me regarding support. Sent using The ClaRetoX2 Forum {Beta} App on my Enigma Machine {aenigma = Latin for "Riddle" AND Nickname for "My Ex-Wife"}.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] koocr:
[MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION] Thanks.

I'm looking to update modem/non-hlos AND whetever else _should_ be along with it.

I found this outlined in a post:

Some SIM cards seem not to be correctly detected by Android operating system while using custom ROMs like LineageOS. In most scenarios you will have to update the Bootloader and Baseband code.

...

Bootloader:
* aboot.mbn
* rpm.mbn
* sbl1.mbn
* sdi.mbn
* tz.mbn

Baseband:
* NON-HLOS.bin
* modem.bin

$ sudo heimdall flash --ABOOT BL_N9005XXSGBQD1/aboot.mbn --RPM BL_N9005XXSGBQD1/rpm.mbn --SBL1 BL_N9005XXSGBQD1/sbl1.mbn --DBI BL_N9005XXSGBQD1/sdi.mbn --TZ BL_N9005XXSGBQD1/tz.mbn --APNHLOS CP_N9005XXUGPQB1/NON-HLOS.bin --MODEM CP_N9005XXUGPQB1/modem.bin --no-reboot

Since this phone is _already_ on LOS, seems the bootloader is properly funnctional. I'm not sure I _need_ to update the bootloader too?

As I'm reading up, it seems that the bootloader should be kept in-sync from the same ROM. Is that correct?

Apparently this phone's ROM has a CSC from the UAE. The Stock ROM I'm DL'ing for it is from a different region, CSC is region UK; it seems to be more widely used in examples etc.

So if I'm going to flash this UK-sourced ROM's extracted baseband, can/should I also flash the Bootloader at the same time?

And if I _do_ is that _still_ considered "separate entities", and won't otherwise affect the LOS install?

EDIT:

Ok, I'll admit I'm a bit confused. I'm now wondering if the CSC is only relevant *FOR* the StockROMs, and out of the picture for LOS altogether. In addition to the question about the Bootloader, _do_ I need to flash the CSC at all?

Re: versions, does the source stock-ROM's Android version -- and the Baseband/Bootloader that are extraced from it -- need to match the LineageOS version, here 15.1 so Oreo?

For example, the list of available stock ROMs I'm looking at, on SamMobile,

[BASE URL TO SAMMOBILE]/firmwares/galaxy-s9/SM-G960F/BTU/

has the _latest_ ROM

Android 9/Pie 2019-03-28 PDA: G960FXXU2CSC8 CSC: G960FOXM2CSC8

but the last _Oreo_ ROM is

Android 8.0.0 2018-12-09 PDA: G960FXXS2BRK3 CSC: G960FOXM2BRJ3

Which version of the bootloader/baseband should I use for updating this LOS 15.1 phone ? The 'latest' v9/Pie ROM, or the 'matching' v8/Oreo one?

Bottom line: To update this LOS phone as much as possible/necessary & _not_ have to lose any of the LOS install, which of the BL, CP & CSC should I be looking to flash with heimdall?

(I'm _pretty_ sure I don't want to touch AP, as /system _is_ LOS 'territory' ; feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about that too!)
