autra | because I didn't know about that. | 21:15:18 |
autra | (no big deal, because I can reconstruct about everything, just time lost) | 21:15:38 |
Atemu | That sounds more like you enabled AVB without setting your keys | 21:15:52 |
Atemu | When I meant "broken" I meant that (IIRC) it doesn't properly verify the boot and you can just boot anything | 21:16:20 |
autra | Thanks again! | 21:19:44 |
autra | I'll try that but tomorrow, because some stuff are not meant to be attempted too late at night 😄 | 21:20:28 |
pentane (DECT CYPT/2978) | i feel that lmao | 21:20:42 |
pentane (DECT CYPT/2978) | good luck! | 21:20:44 |
Atemu | Also, always make backups! | 21:21:01 |
autra | IÂ feel that as long as I don't screw up the recovery partition, I cannot really brick my device right? | 21:22:45 |
Atemu | You can even lose that | 21:23:06 |
Atemu | The lynchpin is the bootloader/firmware | 21:23:15 |
Atemu | As long as you have fastboot and flashing is unlocked, the phone is easily recoverable | 21:23:31 |
Atemu | If one of those conditions aren't met anymore, ...good luck | 21:23:52 |
@samueldr:matrix.org | (there are some phones where the fastboot protocol in bootloader will not accept to flash images when locked) | 21:24:00 |
@samueldr:matrix.org | * (there are some phones where the fastboot protocol in bootloader will not accept to flash images when locked with custom signatures verification) | 21:24:16 |
Atemu | Ugh | 21:24:22 |
@samueldr:matrix.org | good luck figuring out which :( | 21:24:31 |
Atemu | :( | 21:24:40 |
@samueldr:matrix.org | and fun fact: you need a working system to turn the toggle on to allow unlocking | 21:24:51 |
Atemu | Does it reset if you re-lock? | 21:25:04 |
Atemu | (Reset to off.) | 21:25:18 |
@samueldr:matrix.org | what would be "off"? | 21:26:39 |
Atemu | Unlocking off | 21:26:49 |
@samueldr:matrix.org | the custom keys stay, so signed images can be booted | 21:27:01 |
Atemu | Yes but does the setting whether to allow unlocking stay when you lock the bootloader? | 21:27:40 |
@samueldr:matrix.org | (that is a platform/device-specific implementation detail) on standard android phone platforms, there's the toggle to allow unlocking, which is only controlled in the OS, and then there's the unlock state | 21:28:36 |
Atemu | Yup | 21:28:51 |
@samueldr:matrix.org | so no, re-locking the bootloader does not immediately disallows unlocking it... probably | 21:28:55 |
@samueldr:matrix.org | (again, platform/device-specific implementations, so YMMV) | 21:29:08 |
