Root looking for an adventorous tester for a modified aboot.img file

[danhalen1]

So ive spent the past few days reviewing the modified aboot.img bootloader unlock that was posted, and comparing it to the other bootloaders that were hacked with the same method. The l90 d405, d410, and the ls740 use the same code with the secure boot verify function. The version that was posted for our phone was missing 2 functions that the working versions for other phones had. I have modified our aboot file to include the 2 missing functions.

I am proposing this to anyone under the return/warranty/ or if you are feeling adventurous. I dont know if this will work, id say you should assume it will brick your phone. I cannot try it on my phone as its also my work phone, and i dont have a backup. But if you want to try it let me know and i will pm the link to you. I have various screenshots comparing the different files i can also send if you know things about ARM and bootloaders/aboot.

I guess I'll try it. I have to reflash the phone using linux either way. I will try it out.

[danhalen1]

[danhalen1]

What about pwner5889, did he grab it too?

 

[danhalen1]

his is/was still bricked from before

 

[pwner5889]

I tried it and nothing happened. Still the same issues, but I never unbricked my phone. I am able to still flash things to the phone through linux, but It won't boot. Still getting the same issue. If someone can send me the STOCK sbl1.img aboot.img rpm.img and the tz.img that would be great. That way I can unbrick the phone tonight.

 

[danhalen1]

pm'd you a dropbox link with the files you seek.

Hope this helps

Been trying to flash all of the files all day. Nothing. It writes to the phone successfully, but it still refuses to boot. IDK what i'm going to do about it. :-/

 

[donjuro]

You can't restore using download mode either?

Bummer! Still haven't received JTAG interface yet?

So we still don't know if the new aboot works yet as your phone is jacked and calvinsymm never posted back

I wonder if he knows what to do with it.

[danhalen1]

I added instructions when i sent him the link. Have not heard back from him. Ive sent it to 3 people, 2 had phones that were bricked previously and were still working on unbricking them, the 3rd was calvinsymm.

 

[Saxön]

danhalen1, did you notice that mmcblkOp6 partition is aboot, but mmcblkOp9 partition is abootb with the same CSD & CID?

-=Thanks are always appreciated and Happy Modding=-

 

[danhalen1]

Yes, they are very similar but abootb is missing a critical detail that aboot has. They are identical except for this set of functions at the very end of the file
Abootb is supposed to be the fallback boot file if aboot is corrupted.

I will try it tonight.
EDIT: I tried what you said in the PM. It now shows up as a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)

Gotcha, btw what version of ida are you using?

-=Thanks are always appreciated and Happy Modding=-

 

[danhalen1]

im using 6.1
Since i havent had much response, which i understand. Heres images of stock compared to hacked.

This is the aboot that bricked devices
