is this partition containing all files of my phone? Is there a way to exctract them and save it?

Thanks! BR

they were in zip file... did you get it?
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
Ok. When I read your message there weren't any attachments.

In short, all your GPTs are fine, I have no idea what Python was talking about.

edl /lprog_firehose_ddr_lp5.elf
edl /u0 /e /pmisc
edl /z
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] pingolaido:
Done, now I assume I should do the recovery... which command do you suggest with edl.exe under Windows10? Thanks
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
That was to get it to normal boot in case you had anything there.

With misc set it wasn't clear whether you had a system.

You can try flashing recovery, flash misc with the one that says "reboot-recovery" and reboot.
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] pingolaido:
with this command: >edl.exe /w /precovery twrp.img ?
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] alecxs:
if userdata partition is encrypted, you can only decrypt it online (on the device itself). TWRP can do this, but if bootloader was locked at the time of backup the userdata cannot decrypted on unlocked bootloader (which is required for TWRP)

I cannot see any 'config' partition. looking at the script I get the feeling that is a typo and means 'devinfo' partition.
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] pingolaido:
Therefore how shall I proceed? if I need to flash misc with edl.exe, which command must I run? #

edl /lprog_firehose_ddr_lp5.elf

edl.exe /w /pmisc twrp.img

?
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] pingolaido:
@ Renate, good day. How can I flash misc partition with TWRP with EDL.exe? Thanks

done writing new TWRP 100% but no change. When I start in recovery mode, it stays in CS Fastboot mode...
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
I just don't know. Your poor device has been through so much that nobody knows what the condition of it is.

Morevover, do you know that this TWRP works and is the correct one.

Do you have access to the complete software? xbl, abl, cmnlib, tz...
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] pingolaido:
TWRP is the official one : https://eu.dl.twrp.me/I002D/twrp-3.7.0_10-0-I002D.img.html ...tried twrp-3.5.0_12-0-I002D too and it did not work.

It starts with andorid logo shortly then disappears then restarts logo shortly.. then CSC Fastboot.

xbl, abl, cmnlib ..uhmmm in the raw firmware from Asus there are abl.elf, xbl_config_lp5.elf, cmnlib.mbn, cmnlib64.mbn

How can use those? Thanks BR.
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
I don't use TWRP, I don't have faith in TWRP, I don't have faith in randomly selected versions of TWRP.

I don't know your device, I don't know what is broken on your device, I don't know what you have already tried to replace on your device.

I don't know what "CSC" means.

In point of fact, I know very little.

TWRP cannot boot on locked bootloader (#38, #87)

flash full ROM and firmware so everything is stock, then it will boot and you can enable OEM unlock and unlock bootloader.
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] pingolaido:
Ok but how to flash full ROM and firmware excatly? dl_multiple_update_image.bat? could you please indicate the correct commands? Thanks
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] alecxs:
as the linux tool has issues with reading GPT, best is use Renates edl.exe and flash each partition line by line.

I recommend to double check the file size matches partition size and double check the files are in raw format. for this I would read all partitions off device as failsafe backup and compare with HxD editor if the files looks similar.

You have posted the partition list, use that as base and create some excel sheet for the partition mapping. if you have any bat file, look inside for the mapping.
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] pingolaido:

[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] pingolaido:
Hello, i have flashed all files one by one in EDL mode, following the same files sorting as in all_flash.bat code. I have also changed the bits inside FPR and device.info files( putting '01' in 1st and 12nd bit as in many posts), to unlock the bootloader and flash via QFIL. But after many tentatives, it stucks in the black screen. Questions:

1) in which file is there the real bootloader unlock bits? It may be that it still locked :(

2) what are the files which it make sense to flash: Asusrom, recovery, system, image, ...?

3) recovery: i flashed recovery (a and b) with several recovery IMG:TWRP official, recovery inside raw file..but no results I assume the key is the answer to question 1).

Finally, even if it's still locked, i see the positive part: I have having a lot of fun to learn new staff and read your precious advices :-)

Thanks

in update OTA zip some partitions aren't in raw format and cannot flashed straight onto device without conversion. you must flash raw full stock ROM/firmware like that one linked. if you flashed all partitions then phone will boot, regardless bootloader is locked or unlocked.

don't know exactly but most partitions of lun0 and lun4 are important.
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] pingolaido:
Hi, all files inside the different stock Roms (QFIL Rom or AFT Rom) are mbn, EFL, IMG format. I didn't use OTA Rom, because there's is only 1 playload file which need to be converted.

Using QFIL Rom or AFT Rom is better because there are all files, including Loaders in EFL.. )I'm using DR5 lite which is working.

If I need to convert them:

1) which format is the correct one ? I cannot recognize the format of the original file in smartphone via Partition Manager. I have taken the files as they are in the stock and send to smartphone with the partition manager of QFIL. I got " flash successfully" message.

"ROM/firmware like that one linked" which one exactly?

2) how to convert , which tool?

Thanks
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] alecxs:
for example the system partition is ext4 mountable disk image? if not it needs conversion with simg2img. actually there are two ROMs in post #2
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] pingolaido:
Asus_Zenfone_7_ZS670KS_29.12.18.12_MR0.1_20200831_AFT_(by_firmwarefile.com).zip​

and

[TuserHp.com]_WW_ZS670KS_29.10.22.44-MP-user_20200807-release.zip​

which one shall I use, but I did not understand which img shall I convert.

Phyton program is flashing all files inside the ROM in Fastboot mode, without converting and in many phone it worked. I'm not able to reboot in Fastbootmode and I'm forced to use EDL mode only but after flashing... something did not work surely.

thanks
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] alecxs:
If the download provides multiple files (one file per partition) and the ROM is raw ROM then no need to convert. if the download is a single raw file, it is intended to flash from CSC fastboot only. I remember in another thread such file can't just extracted with 7-zip, the resulting partition files aren't useable. so my guess is CSC fastboot does some kind of unknown conversion. if the ROM is flashable OTA zip, some files are sparsed and must converted into raw format first. this is either done with simg2img or sdat2img.

I haven't checked any of that ROMs, I guess these are raw partitions. have a look inside and decide yourself.

[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
Seeing your device in EDL mode as a COM port is dependent on using the actual Qualcomm virtual com port drivers.

If you loaded WinUsb or Zadig drivers your device in EDL will be accessible and usable (to intelligent software) without any COM ports.

It's not easy to find a random USB device using Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) but you can find it and check the driver.
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] pingolaido:
Hello Renate und Alecxs, I have reinstalled all drivers and finally I can see it again in DeviceMngt (windows mistery???). The problem is that: whatever I used to flash it (QFIL or edl.exe), it doesn't start at all. I have load each files from raw ROM (recovery, boot, system, etc...) but it looks like it had no digested them! the only doubt which I have, it's about this rwa conversion which Alecxs mentioned ...but I'm using only raw ROM with files already extracted:
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] alecxs:
all files looks raw and can be flashed straight from edl without conversion (not to be confused with rom file with suffix .raw of other thread). except for super.img, system.img you need simg2img or fastboot. note edl mode has a timeout ~30 sec within you must load the programmer.

Hi guys, thanks a lot for this thread ! I learned some interesting stuff here, particularly with Renate's guidance. I have downloaded the edl tools and have found the firehose file for my device.

If I manage to acomplish something I'll report here! :)
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] arpaham:
Hello, just giving some feedback in my tests:

My Qualcomm device is a Xiaomi Redmi 7A. It was bricked in a infinite boot loop, only being able to get into recovery mode and fastboot mode, which didn't help because the device was on stock rom and locked, also it was not registered within any Mi account and it had never been enabled in the developer's mode.

I found this thread here very useful, it helped me to grasp the edl mode and understand a little about the functioning of my device, but after two weeks of hours and hours of searching and testing I couldn't find the correct firehose file and I was about to give up when I came across what solved my problem: It's a official tool hacked to be capable of flashing stock roms with no authentication! After such a quest it's frustrating to find a "magical" solution, but I'm happy that at least I had my phone fixed.

For those who have similar problem, here is the link to the tool, it works for Redmi 7A. 8 8A among others: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-no-au...-7a-edl-flashing-using-mi-flash-tool.4587747/

He is talking about the ROM.. the loader is linked in #2
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
Well, ok. That links to a thread, that links to some collection of software, that probably includes a loader.

Still, in 120 posts you think somebody would have expended two lines of text to make that info clear.
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
Just a few points...

The hoplik loaders are also indexed with the bkerler ones in https://www.temblast.com/ref/loaders.htm

There are 38 loaders listed that match the above Xiaomi hash.

When testing loaders there can be times that a loader fails to load but the device apparently reboots back to 9008 mode.

But the device is left in a "dirty" state, not the same as if it had an actual reset.

Subsequent good loaders may fail to load.

It's best to do a full reset between each test of a loader.

Of course this goes quickest if you can automate the procedure and either switch power or use the reset line.
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] arpaham:
yes, I was aware of that "dirty" state and had to unplug and plug the usb cable for every test. And to make things worst, to get my device in EDL mode I also had to disconnect the battery cable and and short-circuit two points in the pcb. 🙄 I did it so many times, with my sharpened pointed twizers that I was afraid of rmoving away the cupper from the pcb.

I have just rescued from my Firefox history more two forgotten download links of firehose files. They were also of no use to me, but might help some one with a different model/brand of phone.

[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
Generally (but not 100% guaranteed) you don't need a battery for EDL.

Did you disconnect the battery and leave it disconnected?

I have a USB cable that breaks out the Vcc (red) and Gnd (black) so that I can run it off a supply under PC control.

When looking for EDL test points I use a foot switch to quickly check possibilities.

When bulk testing Firehose loaders I can cycle the power through software control.

This would not be possible with the battery plugged in.
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] arpaham:
Wow, it really helps if you have a proper workbench and tools! That was not my case.

I saw some videos to learn about the test points, but then it was unclear about the correct way regarding the battery, if it should or not be reconnected. So I tried some different ways that seemed all to work the same:

method 1: Do everything with the battery always disconnected.

method 2: Disconnect the battery, put the device in edl mode (= connect to usb shortening the pcb) and then reconnect the battery before proceeding with further steps.

method 3: disconnect and reconnect the battery before putting in edl mode, in this case the device would enter in edl mode with battery already connected. And as it worked, I guessed that the initial disconnection of the battery would be just to assure that the device was really powered-off and not lost in some part of the power-on cycle.

These 3 ways seemed to work the same for me, and I switched among them in order to see if I was really getting the same results. But my tests didn't go beyond loading and verifying the allowed info before getting that deadly message "Only nop and sig tag can be received before authentication"

But I had it in mind that it would be something relevant, because it's widely known across several brands of phones the warning about never flashing a device with less than 50% of battery charge, so I was considering the 2nd or 3rd methods as the way to go.

And when I found the tool which fixed my device I did it using the 3rd way to put the device in edl mode and flashed the stock-rom with battery connected.
[ASUS ZenFone 7 / 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
EDL just by itself doesn't use a lot of current.

The screen isn't running, only one core running, no WiFi.

I think I was running about 100 mA out of the USB.

Still, once you get through with experimenting, it makes sense to plug the battery back in.

I recently installed evolution x on redmi note 11 and noticed that fastcharge didn't work so I installed magisk and im currently using an fast charge module, but whenever I reboot the phone the screen turn on and turn off and then it goes to twrp. it trows the error rescue party.

I already tried to wipe cache, but I dont really want to format all data because teh internet here is not that good and installing all that again is so time consuming. I need a solution please.

EDIT

I wiped the cache dalvik via twrp​

I turned the phone off and let it rest 5 mins​

Turned the phone on and worked normaly​

The phone is working normaly in this moment but im afraid that it would happend again, I need a better soluion than letting the phone rest.

I think that it was a version bug, beacuse had version 7.1, so I installed 7.2 and all works perfectly, even with root and fast charge module

Hi guys.

Im having trouble trying to install Magisk on my Huawei Y7 2018 and im hopping you help me to find the issue. First of all ive read the official guide and followed every step, the issue i have is when you have to patch the recovery.img and boot.img files,but i found none of those in my OEM rom file. Reading a few threads on this forum it seems that Huawei doesnt have those exact files on their roms but i havent found wich ones are the equivalents to be patched.

1 - Installing a custom recovery, in this case TWRP 3.2 (ministryofsolutions has a tutorial on his website about this)

2 - Donwloading the latest Magisk apk from the official website.

3 - Renaming the .apk file to a .zip file, this is necesary in order to make it flashable through TWRP.

4 - After flashing Magisk from recovery reboot the phone and open the app, if it ask for an update tap the allow button.

5 - After the update is done check the status and it should display the installed version.

6 - Check the root status with root checker.

7 - Done :) !
