a52q stuff, i guess

[leandrofriedrich]

Hello there!
I got a new Phone, so i was tinkering around with my "old" A52 and found this Repo. I was like: "Hey, the A72 and A52 are very simmilar so why not try this". After fighting with Heimdall i flashed the newest debug image and it boots to the Efi Shell. I am going to see if i can make it more A52-"specific" or something. Can you tell me how you booted the WinPE thing?

Have a nice Day!

To boot WinPE, i used cfdisk to resize sda31(userdata) partition and create partitions like sda32,sda33,sda34.
Then i formated sda34 partition with mkfs.fat -s1 -F32 /dev/block/sda34 command, mounted it and extracted WinPE.

what did you use to get access to the internal storage like that? did you do it from android or something?

[map220v]

I did it from TWRP using cfdisk from ubuntu chroot.

setup.sh
ubuntu-base-18.04.5-base-arm64.tar.gz

thanks man, how many partitions with what sizes should i create?

[map220v]

For WinPE, 1 partition with size 1Gb or 2Gb should be enough.

It Boots!™️
Anyways, where can i get the drivers that you mentioned in the readme?

[map220v]

I don't have all snapdragon 7c drivers, only some of them and they useless without pep driver.
Drivers can be obtained from devices with windows and snapdragon 7c(sc7180): "Acer Aspire 1 a114-61", "Liva Mini Box QC710"

[leandrofriedrich]

i sadly don't have any of these devices... any other source for the drivers?

How you get to the disk manager without working USB?

[map220v]

In boot.wim : PEMaterial\Autoruns\PEStartupMain.bat after "start explorer.exe" added "start diskmgmt.msc" to get disk manager on boot.
