So riddle me this: with the verification nop'ed in data_exec, and furthermore the write check on secure partitions also nop'ed, is it possible to lets say, write a vbmeta-sign img that is signed differently? Case in point: I have a complete backup of a ROM, but not the FDLs for said build. Could I use FDLs from a different ROM, patched, to write the secure partitions of a device? So far it doesnt seem like this will work, however I am not worried about experimenting for the device has long since been bricked anyways, and it cant get any worse. Your input would be greatly appreciated! |

So I (mostly..) answered my own question on this stuff. I managed to patch the FDLs for the BLU G53, which is on A13, to write back all of the partitions on this bricked Sebbe tablet I have. However, I cant write back the spl. It gets to 94.4% and craps out. Previous attempts to write the protected partitions always got to 97.7% and would fail. This is getting to 94.4%, then giving unexpected response twice then failing. I know it must be something I missed in the FDL2, but I am at wits end, and quite frankly amazed Ive made it this far. Igf not for the amazing wiki here I'd be a lost soul for sure. |

So I finally succeeded in patching the FDLs from the Blu A13 handset as per your wiki instructions. I ended up using Binary Ninja instead of IDA. Anyhow, all the weird behavior they exhibited before is gone, and I can write to all the partitions no problem. Sadfly, I dont have the spl for the device I was trying to unbrick, so this is where the story ends. Anyhow, keep up the good work! I'll be sending more $ soon |
