[General Questions and Answers] popolou:
@tonsofquestions it appears from testing that whilst i have fastboot access, i'm struggling with adb. The boot loop occurs before a meaningful session can be initiated. I say meaningful because i have occasionally connected but the device responds with unauthorised - i could be wrong but suspect that the USB debugging was not originally enabled.

I am gradually building a picture that there is a snowball's chance of recovery here unless there is an exploit of sorts available. I am also beginning to consider chip-off solutions if a lab could dump the internal storage and recover the raw data. I'm dubious If they have their own tools to allow for non-destructive recovery so i live in hope!

I cannot believe Sony haven't got signed firmware that allows them to flash the system partition and boot into a waiting terminal session. But yes, a massive lapse in security should one exist and we have it. 🤷‍♂️
[General Questions and Answers] tonsofquestions:
It's certainly possible that usb debugging was never enabled, at which point it's not helpful - because you can only do that from inside the ROM.

Have you tried safe mode at all? https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-enter-safe-mode-android-801476/

Even if there were an exploit, I've only ever heard of ones from inside the ROM, never the bootloader/fastboot itself. That's a much smaller amount of code and far fewer vectors to attempt with no user interaction/access.

You're right - Sony might have (or be able to create) signed firmware that would give additional options. But it's not available to normal end users - and again would be a massive security issue if it ever got out.

Even if you were able to get to the raw data of the internal storage from a lab, you might also run into data encryption problems, because without the key as well, it would just be meaningless.

You're welcome to reach out to a lab but I suspect it would be quite expensive. (Do let us know what you find, though!)

Hello,

Has anyone received the HyperOS update on European ROM yet ?

I wonder if having the phone rooted and having the bootloader opened prevents it to update.

If have read that you can directly download the package to the phone and flash it by an option from the updater app. If I do so, bootloader would close and it will erase the phone ? I'll have root after that ? (obviously after applying Magisk on the inactive slot).

BTW I'm not using any kind of modified recovery, only open bootloader and root with Magisk.

Thanks.

I've done root with this guide https://xdaforums.com/t/solved-i-need-a-tutorial-to-root-moto-g84-5g.4651408/

All seemed to be right but now it's arrived an Ota update (security patch) and if I try to do it I receive message of "incorrect version".

So I've find the way of uninstall magisk with "restore images", don't reboot, install update, don't reboot, reinstall magisk with "Ota update" option BUT if I do it I receive message of "stock backup does not exits".

I've done backup on pc during rooting and I've boot_a.img and boot_b.img files, I've find this commands (https://gist.github.com/pexcn/71d7d242c5e805d9346d2dc9db17fb90) but I don't understand what of boot.img files I've to use.

Or Is there a more symply way to do it?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
The Magisk documentation offers information on OTA updates and Magisk compatibility. You can find it on the official website (search for "Magisk OTA updates").
[General Questions and Answers] geplus:
Yes I've done, in fact I've reported the magisk's procedure to do ota update. But I've not the backup made from magisk on the phone (magisk doesn't find it) so I can't do it following the guide.

So in the github link that I've posted there is the method to let magisk see the backup saved on pc but I'm not sure what of "a" or "b" boot.img file I've tu use.

I merged all the bootscreens from the original boot screen thread in development. Over taking "aron4588" as the thread creator of this one. His original post is in 12.

Sorry "aron4588" ​

This is updated with the latest tool. (Windows)

I included a zip with all files you may need at the bottom of the post.

1. Turn off your phone

2. Turn on the phone into bootloader (camera+power).

Make sure it say fastboot in the middle if not hit back and it should appear-

3. Make sure your device is found in device manger

If you don't see adb device up top in device manger find the yellow mark devices

Right Click, update driver, and point to the location of the USB Driver

(http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip)

(Driver for 1.5r2)

If you have the "new spl" you're going to need the new usb drivers

(http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/usb_driver_updated.zip)

4. Open and extract the below zip to your desktop

You should now have a custom and fastboot folder on your desktop

5. Open up a dos window (start>run>CMD)

6. Type cd desktop then cd fastboot

7. If you would not like to flash the sample images skip to step 9

8. copy and paste the command line by line

fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565

fastboot flash splash2 mysplash.rgb565 You dont get a splash2 option with the "NEW SPL"

fastboot reboot

Part 2 Making your own images

9. Open up the "create" folder

10. Run CreateG1Splash.exe

11. Open up your image in the program and click convert

12. Go to the folder of your images and their you will find mysplash.rgb565

13. Place the mysplash.rgb565 into the fastboot folder

14. copy and paste the command line by line

fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565

fastboot flash splash2 mysplash.rgb565

fastboot reboot

to build the file yourself go to the root android source directory (mine is linux, but it looks like this "/home/ryan/android_source"), your's might look something like "C:/Source Codes/android/" or whatever. Once you navigate to that directory (via the command prompt... just go to start > run > and type in 'cmd' and hit enter, then use the 'cd' command to get there... e.g., "cd C:/Source Codes/android/"), once there, simply type 'make' and hit enter and it will start building everything, it might take a few minutes to complete. Then just go into the 'out' directory, then it's under "host/windows-x86/bin" (i'm not sure about the windows-x86 part, it might just be windows or something like it, i'm just assuming based on mine), once in that folder you'll have the fastboot as well as all of the other binary files ready to go. Then you can just type fastboot w/e w/e and it'll work just fine.

Hi guys, I'm having trouble with this. If you could help me out I'd be grateful.

I'm attempting it on my Sapphire/Magic running Cyan 4.1.10.1 and I have SDK 1.6 on 64bit windows 7.

I tried the fastboot in the tools folder of the SDK and get this error:

So I tried the one in the fastboot folder of the zip that was provided. Here I just get this:

Not sure what I am doing wrong - I got the image from off here (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3137061&postcount=33) used the converter tool to make it a rgb565, moved that to the fastboot folder and tried using it, with my phone in the recovery showing "Fastboot USB" on the screen.
[Android Themes] rockin_mod:
Ok ur sure u installed the drivers? Check to see if fastboot sees the device.

Type > "fastboot devices" and see if it shows serial number and fastboot.
[Android Themes] TomasTrek:
Ah fastboot doesn't seem to be able to see it. In the tools directory of 1.6 SDK fastboot devices shows my device serial number.

The fastboot in the provided zip shows no serial numbers.

Do you think it could be some conflict between the versions of the SDK? I don't have the zip of the 1.5 SDK any more so I can't try downgrading it.

Thanks a lot for the instructions and the assorted boot images in this post. I'm currently using a slightly modded version of the FBI one, with an MI5 logo and Union Jack instead, although I might have to resort back to Mr. Android taking a leak on Mr. Apple soon.

I had a slight 'waiting for device' issue with the method in this post, but I think it was mostly user error. I'd already installed the SDK last week and had very briefly tried a few adb commands to check everything worked - which it did. After reading this guide I extracted the two folders in the zip file to my desktop yadda yadda...net result was that I had the 'waiting for device' message when I tried to flash the new boot image. As soon as I caught myself on I figured that there was some kind of conflict between the fastboot in the SDK (the path of which was mapped in XP's 'Environment Variables') and the one I'd installed onto the desktop via the simple .zip method in this post. I chucked my new boot image into the tools folder of my mapped SDK, followed the instructions and hey presto, success.

The net result is that I learnt a bit more about Android and the way it works, which is always a good thing.

I'm something of a noob with all of this, so you may want to seek out the advice of an expert, but I think the camera+power instruction doesn't apply once you've rooted with Cyan etc. Try back+power to enter the bootloader instead.
[Android Themes] ccriffman:
I have done this successfully once with no issues, but now it says <waiting for device> and goes no further. Below are the things I have done in attempt to rectify the issue.

Used USBDeview, to un-install phone and re-install, with latest drivers.

Tried using fastboot exe posted later in this thread ( or another thread- can't recall)

Fastboot.exe screen appears momentarily and then is gone

This method hangs on <waiting for device> after copying and pasting commands as instructed.

Any help/advice would be appreciated- Chris
