FP4 Root Access is possible, maybe a bit risky

I haven’t had time to update my family member’s FP4 yet, sorry, but you can follow these instructions to get it:

@hirnsushi

If you need it quicker, you can extract it from your running system after you updated (needs root):

• Note down the slot you are currently in adb shell getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix
• Copy the corresponding boot partition adb shell su -c dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot_a of=/sdcard/boot.A.149.img
• And pull it to your PC adb pull /sdcard/boot.A.149.img

If you are extracting the image after the update but before you rebooted, make sure to get the other slot you aren’t currently in. If you are already running the updated system you’ll want your current slot.

If you lost root, get the previous boot.img from the kernel page, patch that and fastboot boot it. You will get some error messages if you are on a different version, but it will do for extracting the boot.img you need.

Have fun
