- [MagiskBoot] Support extracting boot image from payload.bin
Does this mean I can extract the boot image on an unroooted phone, to root it?
Unclear. To me, you get the payload.bin from roms you download, but that don’t necessarily expose boot.img, but I don’t see how there would be a way for magisk to find a payload.bin on your rom on its own, it’s just another more convenient way of getting a boot.img.
I’m assuming this is for patching an ota file. Right now I download the factory image and patch the init_boot.img from that, and flash it after I download and flash the OTA. I guess this means I don’t have to download both
Where do you download the factory image from? I can’t find it on the Motorola website, or any trusted source.
This is for custom roms mainly. LineageOS for example gives you a payload.bin but not a boot.img.
I’ve personally got a pixel, and Google makes the factory images freely available. If I remember right my old Motorola had a desktop updater app that you could install if you set the USB mode on your phone to something like “installer” or similar. I could grab OTA files from the cache on the updater.
Good stuff. Can’t wait for this to make its way to Lygisk release.
Didn’t know Lygisk existed, thanks for mentioning it here.
I switched to iOS a couple of years ago, and the biggest thing I miss is Magisk. Glad to see it’s still going strong, keep kicking ass
I could have really used that “support extracting boot image from payload.bin” back when I had my OnePlus 10T. Having to go to my dental was inconvenient.
Nice, i hope Delta updates soon.
