I can’t download unbrick.zip ( unbrick.zip | by k4y0z for Generic Device/Other ) because of ‘no mirrors found’. Is there any fix for that??

That’s excellent. Thanks. I’ll give it a try this evening. I seem to currently be in EDL mode (ID 05c6:9008). Fingers crossed :crossed_fingers:.

Hi again, I feel like I’m making a bit of progress, but I’m hitting an error halfway through the edl wl unbrick command. I’ve copied the output below. Does anyone have any suggestions?

It looks like the tool has changed a bit and is trying to flash the prog_emmc_firehose_8953_ddr.mbn file. Just move it outside of the unbrick directory and adapt the path for the --loader argument of your command
