So in the process of developing a rooted OG5, I locked myself out with the new bootloader.
Details, for those interested: I wanted to get everything (kernel, bootloader, etc) on OF1, since it's the easiest way to patch things, and I have only been on OF1 system + modem. So I made a OF1 flashable package including everything except system, which I left as a stock not-cleaned odexed rooted build I through together. Well it flashed fine, but upon boot it recognized that the system was of the old SYS_MAGIC value (1 as compared to 2), so.... yeah. It wouldn't let me boot. I should've thought ahead, so it's my fault, but...
Okay, so what I would want for someone on my rooted OF1 (if lower, move up to my OF1, not the official!) to try something that may work, but probably not. At the very end of the stock OF1 (and OG5) update package it updates that SYS_MAGIC value to 2, so you can't go down to anything 1 (OE2, OC3, etc). But if we're rooted maybe we could use FlashFire to flash a custom made package that ONLY includes this magic updater. command This would leave the system on my rooted OF1, but allow booting when flashing everything else (kernel, bootloader, etc). It's a two step process, though, because if it works (ONLY if it does, which you'll know) you'll need to flash all that other stuff right away/after.
I have packages ready, but I won't post them here because this is gray territory... It won't break anything permanently, but there's always a slim chance you'd have to flash a full OF1 package, losing root. so If you're okay with that, message me. Mine as well try, since there isn't anything else I can do anymore...
