phukfxtec 20 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) one user suggests button combo instead of adb to get into edl: what is this "full" mode vs not full mode? I tried with buttons to no difference, still times out. are these guide's / tooling up to date? the information seems a little scattered between threads. is there any official documentation or official tooling from fx for flashing process and proper backing up procedure? please advise as I do not wish to brick my device. it appears it is easy to do so: https://community.fxtec.com/topic/4022-pro1x-is-bricked-is-there-any-way-to-save-it/?do=findComment&comment=69661 Edited August 31 by phukfxtec Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is where I started. It led me here. Where edl is failing to backup the persist partition. Edited August 31 by phukfxtec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phukfxtec 20 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 (edited) linux host and linux livedvd vm continue to give issue... unknown root cause. tried edl on different machine with windows. hit issue: "NotImplementedError: Operation not supported or unimplemented on this platform"....solution was to reinstall WinUSB driver in Zadig: https://github.com/bkerler/edl/issues/349#issuecomment-2060152724 backup successful.

Making below described backups is still highly advised for a future where some wizard found a reliable way to restore those backups. new question: if flash linux, how to go back to android if can't restore backup? op make this note that there is no way to restore?

You can flash different OS (like Lineage OS or Sailfish OS) and go back to stock Android just by flashing it IF you do not brick the device during the process. The device is not completely wiped when you flash different OS. Idea of the back up is to save all partitions just in case if some error happens. However, currently there is no way restore those back ups but it does not mean that they are useless or could not be used in the future. So, just be careful when flashing 😉. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rossko 0 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Hello @phukfxtec, I know you're probably going to call me a newbie or something and that I'm asking a lot, but do you think you can do a step-by-step tutorial of your progress? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess start here: backup persist. try adb method first. requires unlocked and a recovery boot if above doesn't work, install EDL (see readme and OP) edl r persist persist_backup.img edl r modemst2 modemst2_backup.img edl r modemst1 modemst1_backup.img edl r fsc fsc_backup.img edl r fsg fsg_backup.img flash your OS of choice: Edited September 1 by phukfxtec 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
