General [CLOSED]Project discontinued

[CFKod]

Project abandoned. Full development ongoing for Orangefox where I have obtained full userdata decryption​

 

[trevtdogg]

installing this will wipe my device, right?

i'm currently using the stock a11 rom rooted with magisk and it's going great, but - if in the future my phone can't boot for whatever reason, can PBRP then be installed to restore?

or is it too late then, does it need to be installed before a major problem like that happens?

 

[CFKod]

Once I have decryption working, it will become alot more beneficial.
Those benefits are only available without encrypted userdata currently.
(this would indeed involve formatting data and flashing no verity zip to prevent encryption)

The recovery is simply the ramdisk of the boot.img so can still be installed without causing any issue with your current setup, at present its good for getting a backup of your device

However I'd suggest holding out for decryption
and installing Magisk Bootloop Protector module from Fox's Magisk Module Manager

installing Magisk Bootloop Protector module from Fox's Magisk Module Manager

thanks! just installed it. it looked like the same version was listed twice from two different repos, so i went with the one with the higher download count. do i need to adjust any settings, or is it just install and that's it?

Yea that's the one. No settings.. It cleverly detects when you have problems booting and disables all modules.

It has saved me a few times..

updated links to pbrp specific repo
V1.0.3 released - removed binary and lib files that are called after mounting of vendor/system - taking up space in ramdisk un-necessarily - decryption of userdata still not working.

I think I may have bricked my phone.
I flashed boot.img to slot b
I set slot b as active
I went into recovery mode and loaded PitchBlack
I couldn't find how to copy the zip to internal storage within the PitchBlack environment and I pressed reboot.
Now device seems dead. Only the led lights up when I connect it to the pc.
Anything to do?

Manually load bootloader

I've updated the procedure ... Switching slots is not required anymore as PBRP sits nicely within the boot partition.

I was actually a hard brick. Motorola service came through.

Wow... Strange one that ... Not sure why that would even happen?
Thankfully , scrapping all the of the inactive slot advice
Glad Moto came the rescue for you - however you probably could have rescued using blankflash

Screen did not turn on at any key combination, only power led flashed instantly. It was not showing as a device in windows or in fastboot.

An explanation I found possible is that slot b was completely empty when I tried. Most will not reproduce same fault as system updates will fill the slot.

good news Decryption of Userdata now works (without a passcode)
It may work with a passcode - but my initial tests I had to remove passcode and then reboot back to bootloader > recovery

hola amigo, tengo una duda, tengo un moto edge 20 lite y quiero instalar PBRP pero no puedo hacerlo, cuando pongo el codigo que compartes para parchear vbmeta me sale el siguiente error:

C:\adb>fastboot flash vbmeta_a --disable-verification --disable-verity vbmeta.img
fastboot: unknown option -- disable-verification

Isn't that the command or why does this problem happen to me?

 

[CFKod]

Ahh are you booted

Perhaps you have booted into fastbootd

No need to enter fastbootd, the flashing of vbmeta and boot work from the bootloader screen (the page on the pic in OP)

Vbmeta args don't work from fastbootd.

 

[CFKod]

The annoying thing about this device, is we can't fastboot boot boot.img
Only allows fastboot flash boot.img

 

[CFKod]

Ignore

 

[puh63]

I patched the boot.img - I patched it.
I flashed TWRP.img and installed TWRP from a zip file.
Rebooted from recovery to fastboot.
Command C:\adb>fastboot flash vbmeta_a --disable-verification --disable-verity vbmeta.img
fastboot: unknown option -- disable-verification.
astboot flash vbmeta_a ----do you need an A?
vbmeta stock, from the stock firmware.
Maybe you need a patched vbmeta?????
Where to get or how to patch yourself?

Any plans to add support to Motorola Edge 20 Fusion (XT2139-2) ?

 

[CFKod]

Rebooted from recovery to fastboot.

This is where you are going wrong.
To flash vbmeta you have to be at the bootloader
Reboot to bootloader
