hi,

some newer devices have a signed GPT (partition table). on such devices, altering the GPT hard-bricks the device. this is the reason i mostly stopped development of REPIT.

make sure you read this. you can try running the strings command on images of your bootloaders (or post the images here) to get hints on the situation of your device. strings can usually rule out signatures, but it can also result in false positives.

to recover from a hard brick you would need an image of your eMMC and the ability to program the eMMC with a JTAG probe. if you do not know what JTAG is, then assume you have no way to recover your device.

please decide whether you want to risk testing a REPIT port on your device.

thanks!
