Unbrick tool #1

Open nozerorma opened 1 year ago

nozerorma commented 1 year ago

Hey any luck with the unbricking tool? Managed to mess up my rp3+ by trying to uninstall magisk through the app, utterly stupid. It bootloops to the retroid logo (1sec), won't let me get to bootloader. It is able to go to sprd diag mode and comes up in device manager in windows so I guess that flashing a .pac or scatter files would work, but there aren't any firmwares around. I don't know if there's a way to access fastboot from spdr or to flash my backup boot.img or vbmeta which I guess are what got corrupted

I have a full backup but it's in that darn SPD_PROG format that only CM2SP2 (a paid, dongle protected software) provides... I'm waiting for a .pac file or a way to convert my backup to something that free tools support

I opened a customer service ticket on their discord asking for at least a partial firmware file, let's hope they change their position cause it makes no fucking sense, even more given that they have already released an A11 .pac for the RP2+

I am having the 1 second boot loop now too. No way to get to recovery menu. Am I fully boned??

@irishdude5280 Download the .pac recovery file that @skompc made. It can be found it the Retroid Device Mods channel of the Retroid Pocket Official Discord. It has all the instructions in it. Just take into account that using this .pac will mean no official firmware updates until a new updatable .pac is built

@nozerorma I followed your tip and am happy to report I am unbricked!!! thank you so much! @skompc you're a legend dude keep it up!

Any luck on OTA I am glad that I am not bricked but was hoping to get that performance update they released for my PS2 games :)
