Because I don't normally play with the sd card in shell, anyone know where it's mounted?

 

[SapphireEx]

Sd internal or external?

I have it saved on both.

Hang on

I found something unexpected. The verity_key. It's encrypted, but it is there. No idea what to do with it while I figure out how to mount the sd card though

Try /storage/emulated

Try /storage/emulated

All that's in /storage is /storage/self/primary, and I can't cd into it. No error.

Hmmm... If you use a file explorer, how do you get to your sd card?
I mean which paths.

 

[loonycgb2]

The sdcard should mount to /sdcard/

I don't know if maybe I missed this but have y'all attempted to use tenfars axon7root app?

/storage/{sd serial number}

Also, to anyone wanting to help, I am hosting all the updates (b12,b13,b14) and messi's twrp.

I have. FTM doesn't seem to be mounting my sd.
cd /
cd /sdcard
/sdcard: no such file or directory

*Edit for the axon7tools, EDL wouldn't connect/read

 

[iancc86]

/storage/{sd serial number}

Maybe try that with your sd's serial number.

Try it like this: cd /sdcard/

Nothing. It's acting like the SD isn't even in, yet standard boot mounts it as MTP.

 

[SapphireEx]

Try it like this: cd /sdcard/

System can not find the path specified.

 

[iancc86]

That's strange... Try closing the adb window, restarting daemon, and restarting the phone. All I can think of.

 

[iancc86]

Wtf! This is ridiculous.

 

[SapphireEx]

The strange thing is I can't even view my standard internal storage either.

 

[loonycgb2]

try going thru normal OS system and connecting to adb to dd from this mount point:
/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery

Trying it right now.

 

[loonycgb2]

As far as the axon7 root tool it should work for this device also, but i am sure the developer tenfar specified only that specific device id into the source code making it search for the other qualcomm device id the axon uses.

Wouldn't we have to reverse engineer the tool to add the z981?

 

[iancc86]

No need to search. I have the files if you want to help.
