[Samsung Galaxy A71 5G Questions & Answers] michael3770:
I was shopping on a deal with Verizon's model SM-A716V but was unable to determine the phone's 5g support frequencies.

The unlocked model, SM-A716U seems to support low band 5g as well as mmwave listed as the below

N2(1900),N5(850),N66(AWS-3),N71(600), N41(2500)

But for the Verizon model the only thing I can find is mmwave bands n260 and n261. It must also support verizon's low band 5g as it's a 5g specific model for verizon.

Wondering what low band 5g does it support and if I decide to leave verizon later will it be able to use Tmobile or Att's low band 5g?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 5G Questions & Answers] Gulfstream 650:
This is what I found, the Verizon version supports n260, n261, and mmWave. I'm guessing the "n" bands are the low band (DSS) freqs and the mmWave stands alone? I don't think the Verizon model will be compatible on other 5G networks but I could be wrong.

I think William is referring to the fact that the HTC WM 6.1 ROM doesn't properly store its PIE history (at least not the version I use in my sig). I've experienced this but as it's not a big need of mine, I just put it down to yet another thing needing to be fixed.

I finally found out where the (boot splashes) are located in MI A3.

Its in the imagefv.elf file found in the stock firmware image.

Extract it via 7zip and you get three files named 0, 1 and 2

Just extract 2 file with 7zip and you will find them

I have attached the screenshot showing the file contents - sorry for bad markup and the file in zip archive format

I would like if you guys can help to take a look at it and see if replacing them helps to replace the boot splash images

I am willing to test if it doesn't like completely break my device (EDL Mode, I don't have Xiaomi Authorized account to fix it, fastboot brick is okay)

I hope this helps to create a boot splash replacer for our device

It can also be seen in the device if you go to /dev/block/by-name/

Two files maybe representing both the A and B slots are seen
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Typhus_:
That's interesting...at my end I cannot extract "2" folder...

Anyway, it's not only there where the images are stored....

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NanduxXxPV:
Hmm I don't know why you cant extract it

View attachment 5153285

I just right clicked the elf file, open with, 7zip File Manager and i can browse and extract the contents normally.

Stock 7zip install, nothing fancy, opened like usual archive

I was trying to pinpoint where the images would be and as i saw the partition had image and fv in its name I guessed it stood for the image firmware and tried to open it.

Now if I could just replace the bmp files there with same format and similar size and try to flash it via recovery or fastboot maybe I could see if it replaced the files in xbl or the UEFI boot partition. Since its not modifying xbl directly and changing its hash maybe it wont lead to a permanent brick.

About xbl I rather not modify it, seems to risky. If someone has successfully done it I can follow the method.

I came across this info while researching on how to modify bootloaders

View attachment 5154213

There are two levels of unlocking: normal and critical. The basic unlock should cover just about anything most readers will want to do, up to and including flashing a custom recovery, system images, and a modified boot image (useful for Chainfire's "systemless" root). This also allows for flashing officially signed bootloaders. The critical unlock goes a step further and allows users to flash custom bootloaders, which are usually only necessary for removing certain security restrictions or occasionally for adding special features.

Maybe if device is critical unlocked xbl modification is okay? Can anyone shed some light on it?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NanduxXxPV:
Some new findings

Looks like someone else also found out about this before me

View attachment 5154259

Sadly no new updates from him or the thread :(

View attachment 5154265

Also since ours is an A/B device there are 2 bootloader and boot partitions in the phone so there is a chance that if we flash a bad xbl or imagefv file it just causes the device to restore the good one from the other slot if we specify the slot while flashing

Another solution possible i saw on the oneplus forums was about disabling the android qualcomm uefi secure boot, though I don't know how. It is similar to Microsoft's Stupid Uefi secure boot implementation in PC bootloader which prevent installing many linux distros unless disabled.

https://xdaforums.com/t/help-how-to...ked-and-cant-be-trusted.3425028/post-68176008

The imagefv is a signed uefi/pi partition though I guess less important than the xbl
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NanduxXxPV:
On secure boot

VERIFIED / SECURE BOOT

Ensuring a chain of trust from Power ON up to loading of kernel is with the domain of SoC vendor (Qualcomm, Intel etc.) and OEM's. Injecting some malicious or harmful code at any point during booting is made harder to the extent of impossibility.

To ensure a secure booting chain, PBL verifies authenticity of SBL which subsequently verifies integrity of bootloaders (TZ, RPM, DSP, HYP and aboot) so that to avoid loading of unsigned images (boot, recovery, system and others). TZ, after being loaded by SBL also verifies ABOOT using a hardware-based root certificate.

A bootloader with Verified/Secure Boot implementation verifies boot.img or recovery.img (kernel, initramfs and DTB appended to kernel or on second stage of boot.img) by matching their signature with key(s) stored in "OEM keystore" (some partition like CMNLIB, KEYMASTER or with some other name) which itself is signed by OEM. Some vendors allow replacing/appending this keystore with custom one so that custom signed images can be flashed followed by re-locking of bootloader. A simple detail is given here.

At this stage, the chain of trust is handed over to "dm-verity" key stored in boot image initramfs, responsible for "Verified Boot" process of Google/AOSP. Dm-verity (a part of Verified Boot implementing Linux Device Mapper by Google) is a kernel feature i.e. it comes into action after boot image (kernel and ramdisk) is loaded in RAM. It verifies subsequently loading block devices; /system, (/vendor if it exists) and optionally others.

For details see this, this and this.

Google suggests integrating libavb (native code to verify integrity of boot.img) in bootloaders starting from Verified Boot 2.

Got it from this thread

[INFO] BOOT PROCESS: ANDROID vs. LINUX | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)

It seem it check the integrity of aboot and xbl which means modifying and flashing them over may result in hard brick hic requires xiaomi authorized account and edl flash with firehose or one of no auth patched firehose for the device none of which i haven't been able to find.

There is no mention of imagefv in this so it seem its safe though I don't know for sure

I have managed to browse and extract both xbl and imagefv files with the help of a few software

Although I haven't seen the highlighted one with the black mi logo anywhere in the phone, anyone seen this?

xbl contains these bmp images

View attachment 5154697

There seem to be 3 main differences

xbn has not fastboot image files has a white android one unlocked image instead of a black mi logo showing unlocked in imagefv? and imagefv has a system destroyed image while xbl has a plain black image

Also since imjtool has problems with imagefw file, i suspect it is not a regular/as important file as xbl

Comparative Investigations

1. Mi A2

When the Mi A2 xbl is compared with Mi A3 one there is an absence of images except for a snapdragon logo and battery bitmaps

View attachment 5157349

There is also no imagefv file and the splash.img format is used for bootlogo

2. When comparing the A3 to CC9e, its non Android One version, both of their imagefv and xbl files are similar

View attachment 5157355

View attachment 5157357

But there is some differences

The CC9e imagefv doesn't contain the androidone logo (replaced by mi logo)

The xbl file of CC9e contains a much more beautiful, in my opinion boot splash (black with mi logo and powered by android slogan)

This confirms that boot splash may indeed be possibly stored in xbl as there is no unlocked boot logo in imagefv which is bad news as we cant modify signed ELF images without modfying its signature

And as i saw in the oneplus forums and this info thread even changing a single letter in bootloader that is xbl or aboot to modify it can result in a hard brick device in edl mode

bootloader / qfuses / ARB - how not to brick your phone for funsies v1 | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)

I also checked out thr Redm Note 8 xbl and imagefv as i saw that in that devices too no splash.img was found, well its more bad news

The Note 8 has all its images in xbl and not in imagefv

View attachment 5157363

I don't even know the purpose of imagefv any more

Only info I could find was this

[F1 geek stuff] UFS information, details about LUNs and partition scheme | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)

imagefv = lzma compressed bitmaps (battery), signed part of uefi

I am now going to investigate the Poco F1 xbl and other files

Only hope now is if we can introduce a fake logo.bin or splash.img and hope that the files there is given preference over those in imagefv or xbl

Another way is something like HackBGRT for PC's, using another EFI program to load another image at boot

HackBGRT/README.md at v1.5.1 · Metabolix/HackBGRT · GitHub

Or else we can hope that in 2-3 years this will also be cracked and hacked open by some method (disable secure boot?) and we can modify these files.

Most of Xiaomi's, Google's and other companies new mobiles are coming with there boot splashes hard-coded into xbl like this.
