Hello everyone!
I compiled GRUB2.02_beta3 for armv7.
Added some fixes to make selection possible.
for its work you need unlock bootloader! (see wpinternals)
Time to go install your favourite distro....

It is a multiboot bootloader. You can look it up and read more about it if you search GNU Grub on the internet.
It is the bootloader of choice normally for linux distros. Ever installed a dual boot Windows/Ubuntu system, and have seen the boot menu appear to choose between Windows and Ubuntu?

Oh yeah!! Now i got you?? So can we use it to dual boot android and windows in lumia??
I have MainOS and EFIESP mounted on a PC, how do I install grub onto the image?
-mounted using osfmount and extracted from the ffu.

That was an irony. Currently and in the future, there is no need of GRUB or any other bootloader for this almost dead platform, no one will port Android or any other OS'es for Lumias, it has practically no sense at all and almost impossible (because of lack of drivers source code etc.)

you must mount partitions, and follow the instructions
first need to make sure that EFIESP partition accessable from MainOS \ EFIESP
then unpack archive in MainOS root, and run as ADMINISTRATOR bcd.bat (like you do for phone)

For your bricked 530...what mode is it in that you are able to flash? Does it boot to UEFI? I have two 1320s stuck in emg QC-9008 mode that if I could get past the signature check I could save them, I flashed the wrong ffu and it won't boot since the RKH does not match what was flashed. I may have to get an ATF box just to salvage them but don't want to yet...

in your case i think you need check bootarm.efi and bootmgfw.efi and bcd ... (maybe some else because I can't tell about reset protection)
because grub running by windows boot manager.
for this I have two reasons:
first it's more safer.
second it's qualcomm bootloader wont start grub directly.(can't find boot option, when I replace bootarm.efi)

5 minute tutorial video on how to install clk

if you run into this problem - "when I right click the google drivers file and hit install it says "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation"
then you need to do this - the problem I had was resolved by changing my windows update settings. I had to change them to always install the best drivers for my device.That got me the boot loader drivers ,android sdk and adb. after that I follewed these steps from post #10: device manager>androiddevice>update software>browse my copmputer>let me choose>have disk>browse to .inf file>click or( double click) the.inf file and see if it will install."

My bootloader corrupted
Hi,
I was actually trying to put ICS on my device from GingerBread Nand.I connect device with USB and I was trying to Wipe using HD2 Nand Toolkit.As device reached 100%, it suppose to restart but in my case it hanged at 100% for 30 mins .Then I restart by removing the battery.Now when 3 color screen shows, it shows serial at the bottom but it change to usb when I connect to pc .The problem is now when I try to re-partition ,it says device is not connected.
So I thought I may be able to install windows by downloading actual rom from T-Mobile and place the file to sd card by renaming it to LEOIMG.nbh.I did it using a class 2 16Gb card.As I press both volume down key and power button, it goes right to the rainbow screen.Please help me!
Thanks for reading the issue.

Hello guys, I need your help with the Gnex.
My friend gave me the phone hoping that I can do something. It stucks on nexus logo while booting. USB debugging is turned off, cwm or twrp is not installed. All I can is to enter Android system recovery with the following options: apply update from adb; apply update from usb drive; wipe data factory reset; wipe cache partition.
I've tried wiping cache partition but is doesn't help. Please advice whether wiping data/factory reset will delete the data from internal SD card - I am afraid to lose the photos.
Please advice what should I do to extract data (photos) in my situation?
Thanks in advance to everyone.

before using device too much, quick go to galaxy nexus general section here, and find thread "internal data recovery, yes we can"
you might be able to recover deleted photos.
the way it works when you delete things, is it just tells os that the space isnt being used, so the actual data might still be there and some may still be recoverable.
it is quite a process though. good luck

Maybe anyone faced this problem with 0 b size of the RAW file? Maybe it's because I have less than 15 Gb of free space on my disk C?
Would be grateful for your advices.

I'd like to try explaining this a little better. Basically when using a program from the command prompt in any OS the OS needs to know where the program is (this is not just for command prompt, but I digress). There are a few ways of telling the OS where the program you want to use is located.
For example, lets say you have ADB in the folder "android_stuff" on your E drive.
Option 1: Change Directory to the folder, IE: "cd android_stuff"
Option 2: Provide the "full path name" of the program, "e:\android_stuff\adb"
Option 3: Add the folder location to the system "path"
Options 1 and 2 are fairly easy and straightforward, whereas Option 3 can be done in a few ways.
My suggestion is to go with Option 1, its the easiest and all you would have to do is put all of the files you will be using into a single folder.

Could somebody provide us with a full eMMC backup of a 16GB and 32GB model so that we can build partition.xml and extract rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml from it to unbrick our devices with QFIL/QPST?

I have no idea to make such a backup since I cannot access the device's emmc in Linux.
I've used this method on another phone but there I could access the emmc directly as external storage by using a key combo on boot.

I'll need an OTG storage device to do this. I can backup the entire thing using dd but it can't be written to the internal storage (for obvious reasons, it would then backup the backup and the backup of the backup and so on).
If I could access it on the computer or send it to the computer then that would work but I'm not aware of any way to do that without storing it locally first (which, as previously mentioned, is impossible to do).
[EDIT] I wonder if it's possible to use adb root pull from TWRP to pull /dev/mmcblk0, I'll try that after cleaning it up. If that works then it's a piece of cake to do this on any phone. [/EDIT]

OK, so I managed to do a complete backup via adb pull /dev/mmcblk0
For future reference, this is the easiest way:
From a fastboot boot twrp:
adb root
adb pull /dev/mmcblk0 emmc.img
Now, that's 13GB worth of data that you don't need, I can give you a part table on this (using part) or whatever you need but It's a bit too big to upload as is.
I can run an emulator and mount it as is and that works too but all I can extract from there is data.
Now, shutting down your device and inserting your USB cable while holding vol + AND vol- seems to mount emmc as portable storage, that should mean that you can dd the entire thing right onto the device?

Maybe? Not entirely sure if the dd method could work since this kind of hardbrick literally bricks your phone if you don't have the right files. Great job on the backup though! Mind telling me the steps for dd-ing the entire thing onto my device?
Or better, create partition.xml and extract & upload rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml so that I can use myself as a test dummy.
its a guide for linux systems, hopefully you can help us get one step closer to fixing our devices!

Yeah, that doesn't help since it's made for extracting a partition.xml from a .KDZ where these partition files exist.
In a copy of your disk that doesn't exist, there isn't a file to copy and paste into that.
I can do the partition table and partition sectors if you want that but without knowing what is actually needed (as in the source code in the tool used to fix the device) I can't really help.
I'll check if i can put a device in that state and see what happens with the emmc connection.

Get the partition table and partition sectors, that's a start! (even though I got no clue how to continue after that )

I'm talking about the source code of the programming tool but I might not need that either if i can just examine it on my own and I have one of those devices on hand come tuesday.
I'm fairly confident that I can build a programmer to rewrite the emmc with whatever I want it to if i can just get a hold of the system calls.
Do you want to work together on this? It seems to me that it would be worthwhile even in the long run as QC are unlikely to change this procedure.

OK, so I managed to do a complete backup via adb pull /dev/mmcblk0
For future reference, this is the easiest way:
From a fastboot boot twrp:
adb root
adb pull /dev/mmcblk0 emmc.img
Now, that's 13GB worth of data that you don't need, I can give you a part table on this (using part) or whatever you need but It's a bit too big to upload as is.
I can run an emulator and mount it as is and that works too but all I can extract from there is data.
Now, shutting down your device and inserting your USB cable while holding vol + AND vol- seems to mount emmc as portable storage, that should mean that you can dd the entire thing right onto the device?

adb pull /dev/mmcblk0 emmc.img
this command does not work
first there no device /dev/mmcblk0 but in /dev/block/mmcblk0 second adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0 emmc.img does not work.
F:\BaiduNetdiskDownload>adb pull /dev/mmcblk0 emmc.img
adb: error: remote object '/dev/mmcblk0' does not exist

You need to reboot to a TWRP (or whatever recovery that supports unencrypted storage) that supports unencrypted devices before you attempt it.
You have to do this through fastboot boot recovery.img and not through flashing it. You are correct about /dev/block/mmcblk0 though. My apologies for the confusion caused by that.
I got it

after formatting data partition, I removed whole disk encrypt and success run "adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0 emmc.img" command.
https://pan.baidu.com/s/1bpcvqV1
and do I used "adb push emmc.img /dev/block/mmcblk0" to recover whole emmc when my phone soft bricked?

try this again
Pixel 6 Pro runs on a Google Tensor CPU which is in fact an Exynos CPU
This means that there is Exynos boot recovery in the CPU
You can repair the bootloader using the Samsung Exynos Tool
Nothing could be flashed from the mode, however it loads into the RAM the fastboot mode, from here reflash the bootloader image using fastboot
Unpack BL1, BL2 AP boot, ELR_EL3, BL etc from stock image (use your device and version)

I'm writing this in android development section because this is only section for both models, i hope this is not a problem. Also i want to say thanks to sataccount from gsmhosting, he found working map at the end. This guide is for hard bricked...

Set this up using windows 7 32 bit
use this config not the one he has included, but use his tutorial

NOTE: this is EDL mode!!
If not working or you need help let me know
@pierre383
Have you recovered any Pixel 6/6 Pro unit in real life yet using this procedure? If so, then kindly post a more elaborate guide so that we can cover it for the portal.
===
AFAIK, a hard-bricked Google Silicon device (e.g. the Pixel 6/6 Pro) by default exposes a serial interface with vendor ID 18D1 (aka Google) and device ID 4F00.

Hi sorry am making this fast, when you have it as a unverified device in device managment, install Exynos mode USB driver (USE 32BIT operationing system for the one in the post I linked), prepare the boot + cfg (just take mine), hold the power button and select in the software it should begin, if you have problems uncomment the DNW_WAIT or try another USB cable, the motherboard in your computer is the difference
if your computer say the driver is not compatible on 32bit computer, pick install anyway, install manually a driver for the selected device from a list of installed drivers on the computer (in device manager)
if you need more help or can help me make it better pls let me know
Linux will work also with different tool, but the DNW_WAIT can't be replicated :? so got stuck on pixel rom recovery line, fastboot did not load on the phone
after dnw_wait if phone is not recognized hold power button while DNW_WAIT sequence maybe
Unpack BL1, BL2 AP boot, ELR_EL3, BL etc from stock image (use your device and version)

it's amazing ! but how to unpack these bin files? stock image only has a bootloader.img
or could i use dd to copy it that from my phone filesystem in terminal ?
split bootloader as explained, it is inside bootloader.img if you need more guidence let me know and yes dd can copy bootloader.img however this assume that you phone can't turn on so you can't copy it from dd terminal in the phone because how can you do that in brick state... don't try and prepare for brick, rollback protection will assure that you can't boot a old bootloader from long time ago you prepared incase of brick you need new BL

oh I see it ! it means I need split bootloader.img to 4 bin files .
so it we can get 64bit drivers , it means newly computer and windows is useable?

I recommend using a virtual machine with 32bit Windows 7 or XP or Vista, working with making the Linux work, Install Windows 32 bit on your laptop (you can use a 2nd partition maybe)
It is about fixing the phone that cost 600€, working 1 hour to make Windows 32bit work in 1 or another way is not a big deal
However there are 64 bit drivers around but they are not on XDA, so yes, theoretically it can work with modern 64bit windows
Could you please explain how to split the bootloader image or attach the files?

Hi @pierre383 thanks for your guide. I have a bricked Pixel 6. But it only stays visible in Pixel ROM Recovery Mode for about 10s.
What linux tool is available? and where?
Thanks

Hi @pierre383. You might want to change this thread type from "Question" to "How to guide". Just either edit the first post and you can then change the thread type there, or click the 3-dot menu in the upper right corner above the first post and choose "Edit thread" and you can change it there instead - either way.

Thanks that would be nice.
Also my pixel is not recognized by the "multidownloader" tool mentioned in the other guide. Did you install any specific driver for it to work?
Thank you.
Hi! Any updates on where to get those files?
Also another thing: the driver is not picked up be the phone, it is still stays as USB Composite Device.

@z3r0skull
you can extract the file with imjtool from the bootloader.img
on Linux that would be:
Code:
imjtool.ELF64 bootloader-oriole-slider-1.2-8085990.img extract
