 atemu12 | No that's for when you've signed your own build with your own key and want to enable verified boot | 21:13:19 |
| atemu12 | That's generally not recommended for LOS though | 21:13:39 |
| atemu12 | And I don't know whether AVB even works on the FP3 | 21:13:51 |
| atemu12 | I know that it doesn't on FP4.... | 21:13:58 |
 autra | It would be surprising it works on FP3 then. | 21:14:21 |
| atemu12 | No I IIRC they just fscked up with the FP4 | 21:14:39 |
| atemu12 | * No IIRC they just fscked up with the FP4 | 21:14:44 |
| atemu12 | Could be that they didn't with the FP3 | 21:14:54 |
| autra | you know what? I think it might explain one time I lost all my data 😆 | 21:15:00 |
 pentane â” | Lol | 21:15:09 |
| 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 |
| atemu12 | That sounds more like you enabled AVB without setting your keys | 21:15:52 |
| atemu12 | 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 â” | i feel that lmao | 21:20:42 |
| pentane â” | good luck! | 21:20:44 |
| atemu12 | 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 |
| atemu12 | You can even lose that | 21:23:06 |
| atemu12 | The lynchpin is the bootloader/firmware | 21:23:15 |
| atemu12 | As long as you have fastboot and flashing is unlocked, the phone is easily recoverable | 21:23:31 |
| atemu12 | If one of those conditions aren't met anymore, ...good luck | 21:23:52 |
 samueldr | (there are some phones where the fastboot protocol in bootloader will not accept to flash images when locked) | 21:24:00 |
| samueldr | * (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 |
| atemu12 | Ugh | 21:24:22 |
| samueldr | good luck figuring out which :( | 21:24:31 |
| atemu12 | :( | 21:24:40 |
| samueldr | and fun fact: you need a working system to turn the toggle on to allow unlocking | 21:24:51 |
