flash vbmeta without verifications in samsung

Open Elixir7z opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

hello, how would I remove verification from Samsung vbmeta? (if this works for that brand) well I have several copies of my stock vbmeta, I removed verification from one of my copies with your tool and I saw that it only adds "flags: 3" and leaves the .img signature intact but since there is no fastboot mode in Samsung I wouldn't know how or where to put the "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification" command to flash this .img lol any help pls?

Also a few hours ago well, as I didn't trust that this tool would work because it only adds "flags" but doesn't remove signatures, I had decided that it was better to create a vbmeta.img without anything, without signatures and without algorithms that only has "flags: 3" I tried it on my samsung but when I restarted it sent me to download mode with an error in the vbmeta.img that it had no signatures, I was able to solve it with my stock vbmeta but I want to keep trying and I'll surely give this a try because it leaves the signatures of the partitions intact but I urgently need to know if it is yes or yes necessary to put that fastboot command for it to work, because as I said, on samsung there is no fastboot, only odin

just flash in odin. compact the output vbmeta to vbmeta.tar and then put in AP slot then press start.
