[ScarletWizard]

Have you tried going back to complete stock and then trying to tpull that boot.img and flashing with magisk? and then once the boot.img is patched and flashed, one thing that to tthis day i forget to do more trhan antyhing is to issue the following command at some piont before rebooting out of fastboot:

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img

Yes sir, I feel very accomplished.

Now I'm trying to change the boot animation and the splash screen.
I discovered the splash img is splash_a and splash_b
Located in /dev/block/boot device/by-name
I replaced the splash_a with a custom splash but it didn't work

untouched Boot partitions OCTOBER PATCHView attachment 5771677

This is the incremental ota and won't do most ppl much good. If u would please use payload dumper and dump the file u will see which partitions the ota updates and those are the partitions someone would have to pull from their updated device and upload in order for everyone to have access to the full. October firmware if you feel like sharing it with us

Or I can copy the flash script I made and u can use that as a list of partitions we need to get our rooted devices on October firmware
