Lil help here please.

Everything went fine. It unlocked no problem. Flashed vbmeta no problem. However when trying to flash patched_boot.img I had an error,

"Warning: skip copying boot image avb footer <boot partition size: 25165824, boot image size: 67108864>.

Sending 'boot' <6536 KB> OKAY

Writing 'boot' FAILED <remote: 'size too large'>

fastboot: error: Command failed

So how can I fix this? Is there any way to increase the boot partition size? Do I need to change the flash boot command?

Any help at all would be much appreciated as I'm completely stuck ..
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
What firmware build are you running, and what version of fastboot are you using on your computer? The patched_boot.img file should be exactly 24MB in size, so verify this for me as well.
[Android General] John Bridges:
Greetings, I know it's been a while since we've had a conversation about this issue, but I just haven't had time to do anything. I really didn't have the proper equipment to proceed with the project. I do now pc with windows 11, and another phone so I don't have to rely on the government hacked one we've been discussing. The problem I have is on start up it will not fastboot due to the security issue that prompts with a message that says this phone is corrupt press power bottom to continue, their is no way around it that I know of. A bootloop I think is what you referred to it as. I actually am considering sending you the phone maybe you can get it working correctly and you can give it to a needy person who may not be able to afford a phone. I was forced more or less to leave the government program due to the issues their phone. However the phone is unlocked I'm not certain but believe the bootloader maybe also getting into it is a different story however (for me any way)
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
It sounds as though you could benefit from my firmware restoration guide for this phone here https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-firmw...firmware-restoration-upgrading-guide.4528697/

Once restored you can return and give this guide a go again.

Finally, after what seemed like forever, I managed to unlock the bootloader on my hot pepper serrano. Now I'ma try rooting it after I get it set up

Trying to flash my `vbmeta` just gives me this:

[venom@fedora hpfw]$ fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

Rewriting vbmeta struct at offset: 0

Sending 'vbmeta' (4 KB) OKAY [ 0.001s]

Writing 'vbmeta' FAILED (remote: 'No such file or directory')

fastboot: error: Command failed

[venom@fedora hpfw]$
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Ok. What version of fastboot are you using on your computer (Minimal, SDK Platform Tools, etc.), and which fastboot mode on your phone? (Legacy fastboot or FASTBOOTD user space)
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
@VenomousSteam81, nevermind that last post. I see your error now. Fastboot yielded a "No Such File or Directory" error, which means your vbmeta.img is either not in your fastboot directory, or it has a name other than vbmeta.img. Check your fastboot path and the filename spelling/extension.
[Android General] VenomousSteam81:
@Viva La Android Ah, ok. I'll see if switching them around works.
[Android General] VenomousSteam81:
Actually, I think I know what I was doing wrong. I was in fastbootd instead of bootloader. But I figured it out and fixed it.
[Android General] xx-_-xx:
Any luck on the debloating? I just got a couple of these phones from woot.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Here's a great tool. It's a Magisk module
[Android General] VenomousSteam81:
I don't see the one you posted, but I'm assuming it's this one
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Yeah, my bad, the link doesn't seem to have posted. It's this tool. https://xdaforums.com/t/magisk-twrp...system-partitions-to-read-write-mode.4521131/
[Android General] zeroempathy:
How do I figure out my firmware number? Is that same as the build number in about phone settings?

It says HPP-L55B-J-12.0.0 but that doesn't match the firmware and the instructions.

It's been awhile since I've rooted a phone but I just got this one in the mail and it is slow and full of bloat.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Indeed full of bloat, especially the QLink variant. Yes, your build number reflects your firmware version. Since your firmware is more recent than the patched boot image posted in this guide, unless you have a stock boot image that matches your build number, you will need to downgrade to Build No. HPP-L55B-J-9.0.0, which is the version consistent with the patched boot image in the downloads section.

Please take note that rooting may not be worth the trouble. This phone uses the dynamic partition scheme, which implements the /super partition. Even with fully working root access, modifying system files can be extremely problematic and, in some cases, not even possible. I know what you're probably thinking, "so what good is having a rooted phone?" Well, it isn't much use unfortunately. I have went so far as to modify the firmware and debloat it from a PC, so that it would flash already debloated, but to no avail. Verified boot detects the changes to the stock config, even if disabled. Because my device was damaged, I have been unable to dedicate any time to a full solution in this regard.

In case you do want to give it a go, here is my guide on restoring the factory firmware, which will also downgrade your device to the relevant version. Also, if you have any hiccups along the way, or brick your device rooting or trying to modify it, this guide will get you back up and running.

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-firmw...re-restoration-upgrading-guide.4528697/page-3
[Android General] zeroempathy:
Thanks for the tips and advice. I was able to disable most of the crap so maybe I'll hold off on rooting until I know a little more about what's involved. Probably doesn't seem worth the hassle...
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Probably not. It's worth noting that the majority of devices running Android 10 and later versions, once rooted, can be modified and debloated without much hassle. There are even scripts that run in Magisk for getting the proper R/W mounting of the partitions that make up /super. This phone, however, has been the exception to that general rule. Once I get a functional device again, I do plan on working on some custom development projects for it. So, always check back in future.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flashing unlock

...

(bootloader) Start unlock flow

FAILED (remote:

Unlock failed - Err:0x1000
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Did you enable the OEM Unlocking feature in Developer Options? And, are you in the correct Fastboot mode? If your display indicates FASTBOOTD mode, you are in the wrong mode. Also, who is the mobile provider of your Serrano?
[Android General] digitus9:
yes, i enabled OEM. i made sure to do adb reboot bootloader as the command line to put the phone into fastboot. it said "FASTBOOT MODE..." so I did not see a mention of FASTBOOTD.

The mobile provider of my Serrano is Q Link.
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
So, QLink is for certain the mobile provider branding of the phone? In other words, when you boot the phone, you see the QLink boot logo/boot animation? May I also ask, what version firmware are you running? (Build No.)

The ADB & Fastboot tools linked in my downloads section is significantly out of date. While it is the version I used to unlock my bootloader, it may be causing the error you referenced. Instead of the Minimal ADB & Fastboot Tools v1.4.3, download this instead and extract the contents of the archive to an empty folder on your desktop.

SDK Platform Tools v34.0.4 for Windows 10/11

Just as before, double click the cmd-here.exe file inside the Platform Tools folder to open a command window. Proceed with the same instructions/commands as before.
[Android General] digitus9:
The build no. is HPP-L55B-J-8.0.0.

I have SDK Platform Tools already, so let me see if it works and I will update you in my next quote reply.

[Android General] digitus9:
All right, I got it to sort itself out. However, it still returns the same error when I do fastboot flashing unlock.

C:\Users\deafl\Desktop\Empty Folder\platform-tools>fastboot flashing unlock

fastboot: error: Command failed
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Typically, Error 0x1000 indicates that the manufacturer (usually by virtue of the branded carrier) has imposed restrictions which prevent the bootloader from being unlocked through fastboot. This would be extremely odd, however, due to so many members being able to unlock their bootloaders via fastboot with no adverse issues. When you boot your device up from a powered off state, is the QLink boot logo or boot animation displayed?

Even if this is the case and your bootloader is unsupported for normal fastboot unlocking, there is an exploit that can force unlock your bootloader. It's a reverse engineered MediaTek utility called MTK Client.
[Android General] kb5rir:
cant unlock bootloader

it throwing this error

FAILED <remote:

Unlock failed - Err:0x1000
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
What carrier variant do you have and what is your firmware build number?

For whatever bizarre reason, there are some Serrano devices that cannot be bootloader unlocked due to restrictions put in place by the manufacturer. I am still trying to sort out exactly which variants/firmware builds present this restriction. The fastboot error you noted, Err.0x1000 is indicative of this type of restriction. However, you do have another feasible option for unlocking your bootloader: by exploiting a MediaTek specific vulnerability by way of the MTK Client software for Windows, which is essentially a reverse engineered utility capable of performing a number of privilege escalated tasks.
[Android General] kb5rir:
Q-Link
[Android General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
And what is your current firmware build? In any event, your bootloader is not supported for standard fastboot unlocking. This is the guide you will need to follow in order to exploit your bootloader to an unlocked state.

[Android General] Wheelchair_67:
I use a Serrano Hot Pepper, or it has a says hot pepper on loading screen. In about phone states it's build: (HPP-L55B-J-9.0.0)

This program does recognize my phone initially with "adb devices" and the command to put it into fastboot, but that's as far as I can get it to go. After that stage it states "waiting for devices".

I've tried the recommended steps of changing usb ports and changing to different cables, but with no success. I did however get it to the (HPP-L55B-J-9.0.0) from it's original (HPP-L55B-J-10.0.0) so I was

on the same image as recommended in this artical, so I am stumped as to what the issue is. Hoping for some advice or assistance with this as the phone is just full of bloatware which slows it drastically. Even after disabling some they just enable themselves again and again. Oh it's a Qlink provider phone too.

Thank you.

Jouw unit is een CNS2-type unit die gemaakt is door Klyde. Dit betekent niet dat Klyde ook de wederverkoper is.
