Thank you very much for your interest in REPIT.

To post a new port request:

  1. Please check that a request for your device has not already been posted. Sometimes there are reasons why REPIT has not been ported to your device, so your search should include both open and closed issues.

  2. Some newer devices have a signed GPT (partition table). On such devices, altering the GPT can hard-brick the device. Please make sure to read about this issue here. You can run the strings command on images of your bootloaders (or post your bootloaders images with your port request) 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, assume you have no way to recover from a brick. Please decide whether you want to risk testing a REPIT port on your device before requesting one.

  3. To post your a port request, please follow the directions here. All the information is needed.

Thank you again!
