<Danct12[m]> <jimkoutso2008[m]> "Xiaomi Redmi 5A" <- i believe redmi till this day uses emmc
<Danct12[m]> only the high end models uses UFS
<Danct12[m]> <M0xCAFEBABE[m]> "can only send 10 to barni at max..." <- nice offer but nah
<M0xCAFEBABE[m]> <Danct12[m]> "i believe redmi till this day..." <- such old chipsets only supports emmc i think...

<jimkoutso2008[m]> trying to get EDL to work but i have hit a brick wall
<jimkoutso2008[m]> its gets stuck there
<jimkoutso2008[m]> neither in windows
<barni2000[m]> You will need programer bin from rom package
<barni2000[m]> And maybe reboot your device
<Danct12[m]> <barni2000[m]> "You will need programer bin from..." <- does the old xiaomi progrom have some sort of signed system?
<barni2000[m]> Maybe idk it not always work with the shipped binaries in the repo
<jimkoutso2008[m]> <barni2000[m]> "You will need programer bin from..." <- a bin?
<jimkoutso2008[m]> i only have a mbn files rn
<jimkoutso2008[m]> s/files/file/
<jimkoutso2008[m]> prog_emmc_firehose_8917_ddr.mbn
<barni2000[m]> jimkoutso2008[m]: This
<jimkoutso2008[m]> oh
<jimkoutso2008[m]> so i paste that to the examples folder and it will figure load it?
<jimkoutso2008[m]> s/figure//
<jimkoutso2008[m]> oh nvm ignore
<jimkoutso2008[m]> huh?
<jimkoutso2008[m]> ok it works on liunx
<jimkoutso2008[m]> but i still get "Trying with no loader given"
<barni2000[m]> --loader parameter
<jimkoutso2008[m]> still stuck here
<jimkoutso2008[m]> oops wrong image
<jimkoutso2008[m]> the way im doing EDL is by unplugging the batter and shorting two point
<jimkoutso2008[m]> idk if i need to plug back the battery
<jimkoutso2008[m]> are there any alternatives that i can try?
<barni2000[m]> You need to plug back the battery
<Danct12[m]> <barni2000[m]> "You need to plug back the..." <- dont think you need to connect the battery for the phone to work
<Danct12[m]> i tried unplugging the battery and plugging it into power for fun, it works but when it boots into android the usb controller resets
<barni2000[m]> It was needed for me to be able to use edl
<jimkoutso2008[m]> <barni2000[m]> "It was needed for me to be..." <- on what device?
<barni2000[m]> ugglite mido vince ...
<jimkoutso2008[m]> ok tf
<jimkoutso2008[m]> it works now
<jimkoutso2008[m]> huh
<jimkoutso2008[m]> all i had to do was reboot the livecd
<jimkoutso2008[m]> ok i notice that on dumping its using firehose mode and no sahara
<jimkoutso2008[m]> also doesn't load a loader
<jimkoutso2008[m]> Well that's one way to know how much storage this has
<Danct12[m]> jimkoutso2008: my redmi 4x is only 32 gb
<Danct12[m]> good times
<jimkoutso2008[m]> The redmi 5a was released in 16gb 2gb ram and 32gb 3gb ram configs
<Danct12[m]> there's also a 64gb/4gb configuration for redmi 4x too but i havent seen anyone with that
<jimkoutso2008[m]> (can't check the storage on the os itself since my aunt forgot the pattern on this phone)
<jimkoutso2008[m]> Anyways
<jimkoutso2008[m]> Gotta figure out how to get custom recovery in this thing with edl
<jimkoutso2008[m]> Since ik this also needs me to wait a few days probably
<Danct12[m]> <jimkoutso2008[m]> "(can't check the storage on..." <- since you can dump the whole phone i guess you can very much figure out the pattern
<Danct12[m]> well, if /data isn't encrypted
<jimkoutso2008[m]> <Danct12[m]> "since you can dump the whole..." <- hm
<jimkoutso2008[m]> how?
<jimkoutso2008[m]> considering i just have a bin file of the full emmc
<jimkoutso2008[m]> can i mount it or something to view all the partitions?
<Danct12[m]> userdata is just your good ol' ext4 format (might be f2fs depends on the firmware)
<Danct12[m]> so you can mount them
<Danct12[m]> however if it's encrypted then you're sol
<jimkoutso2008[m]> Danct12[m]: hm ok
<jimkoutso2008[m]> well how do i do that in linux?
<Danct12[m]> jimkoutso2008[m]: > <@jimkoutso2008:matrix.org> hm ok
<Danct12[m]> > well how do i do that in linux?
<Danct12[m]> at this point you better off asking your favorite search engine
<jimkoutso2008[m]> hm ok
<jimkoutso2008[m]> ok uh either im not searching correcty or i just cant find info on how to mount
<jimkoutso2008[m]> oh i see
<jimkoutso2008[m]> anyways
<jimkoutso2008[m]> now uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
<jimkoutso2008[m]> how i flash twrp from EDL
<jimkoutso2008[m]> * from EDL?
<jimkoutso2008[m]> when i flash the stock recovery back it works
<jimkoutso2008[m]> i used `edl w recovery twrp.img` btw
