  • Rooting the Boox Tab Mini C
    2 projects | /r/Onyx_Boox | 29 Oct 2023
    Open up QFIL (which should have been installed as part of the QPST tool). Click "Configuration" -> "FireHose Configuration" and in the window which pops up change the "Device Type" to UFS as informed by the article here "https://www.ereaderpro.co.uk/en/blogs/news/e-ink-product-follow-up-boox-tab-mini-c-and-page-versus-previous-generation". The article indicates that the device uses UFS2.1 as it's storage protocol. It also indicates that the device uses a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 662. In order to properly program the chip we need an appropriate programmer which is `prog_firehose_life_ddr_patched.zip`. The driver to communicate with the Qualcomm chip was originally found in a git thread (https://github.com/bkerler/edl/issues/200) attached to a comment as `prog_firehose_life_ddr_patched.zip` here: https://github.com/bkerler/edl/files/7991604/prog_firehose_life_ddr_patched.zip. To use this change the "Select Build Type" to be "Flat Build" and then click "Browse" for the "Programmer Path" and point it to `prog_firehose_life_ddr_patched.zip`.
  • Windows 11 has made the “clean Windows install” an oxymoron

    YMMV, but in my experience it works flawlessly.

    If that fails there are chip specific tools you can use to read/write to the right partitions, such as the fantastic EDL tool for Qualcomm devices:

    As for tracking down the issue on your side, it would be a matter of setting up this and then creating a memory dump while in EDL mode. The "how to get logs out of this" part we'll have to figure out afterwards.
  • Sony Xperia XZ2 bricked
    1 project | /r/SonyXperia | 15 Feb 2023
    After flashed wrong abl from LG G7 to abl_a partition and reboot, my phone was bricked. No Flash mode nor fastboot, I was use paper clip and short to testpoint in mainboard, its recogized as QUSB_BULK_CID:0402_SN:XXXXXXXX. I can send hello packet to sahara (edl mode) and got these information when using EDL tools (https://github.com/bkerler/edl). Seem like Sony sake authencation and Secure boot prevented me load different loader to sahara, Is there anyway or who can find the correct firehose loader programmer file for this XZ2? :

    I had this problem too, I find it simpler to use something like hirensboot CD (a windows live image) or an edl tool to directly flash the image from Linux, like this, first you'll need to decompress the image with this.

    I did. Kinda funny that all the links in those search results are marked as linked. I tried every possible solution that I could find. Even this https://github.com/bkerler/edl but still no luck. Thanks for your reply though.
