How to create a custom signed vbmeta.img for Unisoc using AVBtool

If you're into rooting and flashing custom recoveries then Android Verified Boot (AVB) or dmverity is something you should be aware of. We'd dropped a blog post on why dmverity could be causing your p

[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
Actually you can unlock the Bootloader. I already did. I don't know how to follow that tutorial. If I gave you my boot and vbmeta could you do it for me?

[General Questions and Answers] luridphantom:
oh weird i thought blu doesnt even support bootloader unlocking

can you access fastboot? with an unlocked bootloader you can flash an empty vbmeta and dont have to go through the above steps
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
Ok, they made it kinda tedious to unlock the Bootloader, but I did it. I can access Fastboot, but where do I get a blank vbmeta? can I just use the --disable-verity --disable-verification command?
[General Questions and Answers] luridphantom:
you can find it all over the internet if you google search

flash that and yes, use that disable-verity command. test with a patched recovery and if it doesnt bootloop youre good to go
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:

Finally after an hour of watching the videos and thinking through all of this in my head, I have acquired root on my BLU V50! Thank you @njoaquin for showing the exact steps of what you did. I followed your steps (to the T) and it worked!
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
Hey! for those who don't want to do all the work to root this stupid phone, I have attached my custom boot and vbmeta for you to use. I recommend flashing the original super.img (found from here: https://firmwarefile.com/blu-g50-plus-g0350ww) before flashing the boot and vbmeta, otherwise wifi and bluetooth won't work. Also note that you cannot update magisk without signing the boot.img again, otherwise you will soft brick your device. This magisk version is 25.1 so it's pretty up-to-date.
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
Hey this works but is there any way you could update the files and also im having trouble patching the vbmeta, it just gets stuck saying writing vbmeta... in command prompt. Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
When i try to update those files using magisk i get stuck in a bootloop
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
Unfortunately you can't update through magisk. I can try and sign a new img later.
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
Hey can I get those signed files? My phone says it's rooted with magisk yet nothing is really working because it's outdated, I'm on a blu g50 plus. Please help I've been attempting to get this phone rooted for 5 months now, finally today I was able to unlock the bootloader but now I can't get magisk to work.
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
That is not how magisk works. Magisk 25.1 should work with pretty much any module available. Idk what isn't working because "it's outdated" As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure magisk v23 still works with everything.
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
YouTube vanced isn't downloading via the rooted version, AdAway isn't working saying not enough space, boot animation isn't working, pretty much every app I install isn't working.
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
That's not a magisk incompatibility issue. Boot animation will not work because of the kernel restrictions that the phone has. Idk why adway it's saying not enough space, that's another issue. YouTube vanced needs to be installed through vanced manager and needs to have sufficient permissions.
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
Right I have the vanced manager and selected install using magisk
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
Idk what to tell you. It's not because magisk is outdated though. People still use magisk that came out years ago.
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
What about the boot img being outdated?
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
If you have ever updated your phone, then yes, the boot img is "outdated". However, this problem is easily solved by flashing the stock super.img from the firmware package you should've downloaded. If the boot was incompatibile, then your WiFi and Bluetooth would not work at all.
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
Actually it appears my Bluetooth is no longer functional
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
So how do I get this super.img and patch it to make my device rooted?
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
Download the stock firmware for the g50 plus, then just flash the super.img
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
Ok, then you need to download the stock firmware, extract the stock super file, and flash in either fastbootd (yes fastbootd) or bootloader mode.
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
How will my phone be rooted?
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
Am I patching the super.img with magisk?
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
No. The super and boot don't match, so you have to make them match. That's probably why you're having so many issues. You already have the patched boot img. You just need to flash the super.img. No patching needed.
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
With boot.img!
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
I downloaded the blu g50 plus file from firmwarefile website then used upgrade download to get the boot.img file and took that boot into my phone and patched it with magisk, I then moved the magisk patched boot.img back into my computer in the platform tools folder where I had command prompt open. I ran adb reboot bootloader then fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img which ran successful that is until I ran fastboot reboot, my phone was stuck in a boot loop
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
Is there any way to install supersu or like a custom recovery on my blu g50 plus now that I have the bootloader unlocked?
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
That's because you need to sign the firmware! The img I provided is signed and so is the vbmeta.
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
Again, yes, but you need to sign the firmware otherwise you'll end up in a bootloop
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
All you need to do is flash the stock super file to the phone. You should be flashing 3 imgs. You need to flash the vbmeta and boot.img I provided, and then from the firmware you downloaded, you need the stock super.img. you do not need to patch anything else.
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
I'm having issues flashing the vbmeta, it seems to get stuck at writing...
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
What mode are you using? Use fastbootd which can be rebooted into from bootloader or adb. (Fastboot reboot fastboot, or adb reboot fastboot) You can also enter fastbootd from recovery mode by choosing the option "reboot to fastboot". This is not the same as reboot to bootloader.
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
Ok, will try!
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
Fastbootd runs the exact same as bootloader. All the flashing commands are the same
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
when flashing super.img im getting Invalid sparse file format at header magic
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
If you wait for about a minute it should start to flash

[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
It should flash in fastbootd mode.
[General Questions and Answers] dtingley11222:
Aha! So instead of "fastboot flash boot" use fastboot flash super
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
thats what im on the screen that says fastbootd with options
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
ok its working. after i flash the vbmeta you posted and the boot image you posted and the super now what?
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
Ok its done with the super and i just reflashed the boot img and the vbmeta with the ones you posted now what
[General Questions and Answers] orbitalmartian:
How do i get custom recovery and superSU?

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] Edrrt:
I had a S10e and honestly it was probably one of the best phones I have ever owned. The size was perfect, the cameras were excellent, and the best feature of all was the fingerprint sensor. It worked virtually 100% of the time, first time, no matter what. Sure Apple had face id, but it didn't really matter because the fingerprint sensor was so effortless.

I work with my hands, my hands are frequently dried out, or dirty. Frankly I never thought anything of this because it never created any issues.

I just upgraded to the s21 ultra because I wanted the new cameras and now I regret it.

The fingerprint sensor literally does not work. I have tried removing the TPU screen protector that I have on it. I have four fingerprints saved and they are all of my right thumb. And it literally won't work. every time I pull my phone out of my pocket it tries and tries until it locks itself. When I go to verify fingerprints it gets it maybe one out of 10 attempts. When I am trying to input fingerprints, half the time it says it can't even detect the finger on the screen.

Another major problem is glass screen protectors work much better and you can get a glass screen protector for an s10e for a dollar. You cannot put glass screen protectors on s21u without enormous expense and effort. And they still compromise the fingerprint sensor. The user experience of the s21u has been frankly absolutely terrible compared to the s10e.

And their face ID is completely useless as well. Most of the time it doesn't work and if you are in the dark or low light forget about it.

I really want this phone because of the camera lenses. The 10x lens really is amazing. 100x is probably what you can get to cropping images anyway.

but none of that matters because it's something that you use every once in awhile. You need to get into your phone hundreds of times a day. If they're access technology doesn't work in my opinion the phone is a bust.

It is driving me crazy.

Are they going to fix this or should I get rid of this thing and go back to an s10e?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] bubsnews:
Read the post literally right above yours about the 30 second fix. I've had many Samsung phones with the fingerprint sensor underneath the screen and I agree with you totally, it does not work. How this isn't the very first topic discussed on any phone review is beyond me. It should be class action lawsuit.

But, my fingerprint sensor works reasonably well now by doing the short 'fix' above. It wasn't targeted to fixing the fingerprint sensor, kind of a by-product. I suggest you give it a try, literally takes 30 seconds and can be reverted back in the same 30 seconds.

Worth a try, good luck.

Hello,

Please advise how to gather the needed data from the app. According to Battery Historian there is something which consumed 46% battery life between 14:52 and 15:14, but I don't know which app or process. There is huge percent of battery consumed given as 'Unaccounted' and there is no UID (attachments for more). I have some apps in mind which could cause it, but I am not sure. I thought about that apps which are not listed in the Apps (with Uid) section on Battery Historian (All apps listed here [Battery Historian] have Uid, so the apps which are causing the problem should not be here).

So what reference/data/stat should I look at? Thank you.

Why camera on op8pro is so bad at android 11?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] king_xerxes:
I have hated my 8Pro since I got it, and wish that I never sold my 7 Pro to a family member. The 7 Pro was better in almost every way! This scam of a phone is complete crap, with it's 12 MGP rear camera that was listed as 48, and the wide 48 looking like just over 16. I have nothing good, nothing at all, to say about this POS phone. I have had it since June of 2020. The cameras are just crap, this horrible cutout in the from for it's 5mp (at best quality) camera burns me up. The balance on this phone is so bad that I just want to throw it. Nothing, I mean nothing is good about it! The 7 Pro was millions of times better, even with the "slower" 855. I am not buying another POS from Oppo.

Last update 2021/4/4
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] mario0318:
You know several of these properties are long deprecated and can be removed outright. No point in keeping them circulating as they do on every build.prop tweaks thread.

There is also the possibility, though maybe not the case with Samsung devices since I've never owned one to know first hand, that some of these properties are read from separate build.prop files. You'll have the usual prop under /system but you may also have one under /vendor, where some props like audio/gfx related, build device or patch dates, among others won't have an effect unless it is also present in the /vendor prop file. Otherwise you'll see the props "loaded" when you run 'getprop' in terminal, but whether the system actually read and set them in time in the appropriate boot stage is another issue.

Again, not certain how Samsung has these setup, there may be additional prop files that are pulled during boot like /odm. At any case, usually your best bet is not to edit the one build.prop file itself but rather add the configured properties you want to edit as a boot script using 'setprop', like under init.d or in an existing init file, if allowed, because as I understand depending on your device's init sequence those are loaded before it pulls the props from their respective mounts which would not guarantee them not being overwritten soon after, and you could remove conflicting props if it's really an issue, but it would at least allow an easy recovery without touching the prop files themselves.
