I dirty flashed and couldn't go past the pin screen it kept going back to lock screen. Finally I clean installed with Nigapps basic package. Stopped flashing pixel setups and found out it's super smooth and nice without the pixel launcher or package... For now I will use as is. Battery life is amazing. If U guys need any testing please let me know.

If you value your privacy (and are okay with tinkering with your phone... like a lot) then MicroG might work for you, but if you want Google's services, Play Store and other stuff, NikGapps might be a good solution.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DECloyd:
A few months ago (mid-2023), I saw a thread that gave data about rooting a 10th gen device by opening the tablet and shorting a circuit in order to unlock the bootloader (followed by the other steps).

I've been searching the forum for those instructions and am still looking (they seem to have been removed or are no longer described in a way that search results include them).

The method has been referenced a few times in other threads, including the "Fire Toolbox" thread (made by the OPer), but without a link anywhere that I have found.

If you know where those instructions are located, would you make a moment and post/forward a link either here or direct message?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androiduser2390:
All I have seen about rooting the HD 8 2020 is someone asking for testing for a project (a ROM?) and a post about a Mali GPU bug that effects the 2020 HD 8, however the proof of concept needs to be adapted to 32 bit. Right now you should disable OTA with Fire Toolbox, I think it might have been patched by now, but it could still work. Sadly I am on 7.3.2.9, so it might never work. https://xdaforums.com/t/potential-arm-mali-gpu-based-root-firehd-8th-12th-gen-affected.4574635/ https://xdaforums.com/t/amazon-fire-hd8-2020-onyx-testers-needed.4577549/

Thanks for a reply! :)

I saw the thread about someone asking for testers for his project, too. I went through it looking for a link to the data that I saw last year (I didn't see one - darn).

Sadly, I'm in the same club that you are: I bought a refurb Fire and it came with 7.3.2.x, so closing the OTA door (and disabling the Fire Launcher) was a no-go.

I'm hopeful that someone will chime in with some data about the exploit (shorting out something and going from there) and we (I) can give it a go.

Also, thanks for the link. I'm going to start there and continue my search.

[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] M11Hue:
I ended up forgetting my password, with several months of trial and error just trying to remember it, where I even reached the maximum amount of tries the phone allowed to enter a password, later locking itself.

I already went for the EDL route since I still wanted to save my data (photos specificly) if possible.

But I hit a road block with finding a suitable firehouse/loader and I'm now not sure what to do...

P.S.: Somewhat off topic, but is it possible to temporarily flash TWRP in edl (without removing the user data) to at least backup the files to a sd card?

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Update: I did some research that it is possible to flash TWRP using EDL, but you can't do it without a compatible firehose/loader/programmer. You can use other programs like EDL.exe to just extract the raw encrypted partition data, but TWRP might allow you to decrypt it, as long as you know the password.

Now the problem would be finding a suitable firehose/loader/programmer for it to work...

Update2: Added my attempt with a52 5g firehose.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Simon1511:
I'm not sure anyone ever made EDL work successfully on an A52s, and you probably shouldn't play with it too much.

No, your data is encrypted and can only be accessed after decrypting it with your specific lockscreen password. There is no other way.

If you can't seem to remember the password at all I wouldn't even bother much and just format the whole phone.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] M11Hue:
If I understood this correctly...

Does that mean it might be possible to temporarily boot TWRP using edl (without formatting user data), but be unable to decrypt the data without entering the password IN TWRP, correct?

And if I do gain access to TWRP, does entering the password count as a "Second chance" in trying to remember it?
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] rocker00:
M11Hue I'm not even sure about EDL mode on A52s, if you still able to boot into recovery mode just connect any sd card and copy the attached zip and flash it, it will resets the lockscreen password, for me it works but I'm decrypted, don't know about encrypted data since i always decrypt, i don't want to say it will definitely works on encryption but let me say 90% it should works because the zip itself has nothing to do with the encryption.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Simon1511:
This won't work as it requires access to /data, for which he needs the Password because he's encrypted.

No one has ever used EDL on this phone (let alone bothering making it work at all). As far as I know there are certain contacts on the motherboard which need to be soldered or something to gain successfull access to EDL. IF you actually manage to boot into TWRP using EDL (which I highly doubt) it WILL ask you to decrypt it - if you're on OneUI 6. Anything older than that can only be decrypted with no lockscreen password set.

As I already said, you're just wasting your time on this.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Zdrawko0o:
Is your bootloader unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Renate:
Usually having the loader fail at 1% means the loader's hash does not agree with the device's hash.

I've looked for 4a14c27b518909e1 on http://www.temblast.com/ref/loaders.htm and there is nothing.

You can see if the two loaders you tried are listed there by computing the MD5 (md5sum) of the files.

Or you can check the hash on the loaders by qcomview.exe /p G991U_Loader_alephgsm.com.elf
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Arm1nas:
You can also enter EDL mode by making a custom USB cable and shorting some pins, don't remember which ones exactly, that worked for me.

Also there are paid tools that claim to have authorized EDL flashing:
