Samsung Galaxy A70: `begin odin`: `Unknown2 is not zero: 80`

[tukusejssirs]

Description

I have put my phone to download mode, connected my phone to my computer, started sudo ./TheAirBlow.Thor.Shell, connected to the device (GT-I9100 Phone [Galaxy S II] (Download mode) (ID 001:011)) and run begin odin. The output of the last command is:

[12:05:42 INF] Unknown2 is not zero: 80
[12:05:42 INF] Please contact me (TheAirBlow) about this in XDA DMs!
[12:05:42 INF] If you would cooperate, we could uncover hidden features!
Successfully began an Odin session!

As the log ask me to share with you this, I created this issue. I didn’t want to use XDA; I hope you won’t mind. 😉

Reproduction

1. Put the phone into download mode.
2. Connect to phone to the computer.
3. Start sudo ./TheAirBlow.Thor.Shell.
4. Run connect.
5. Run begin odin.

Expected behaviour

I have no idea what should I expect, however, the output has some info logs which (I presume) should not be there. 😉

Hardware and software

• OS of the computer used: Fedora 38

Additional context

[TheAirBlow]

It's Unknown2, which is to my knowledge the "revision".
It being 80 is something quite common - I've been reported that multiple times already. If you can, please send the aboot.mbn or whatever the bootloader image file is for your phone's firmware.

However, I do not have the time to work on Thor as I switched my interest to a different project of mine, so do not expect me to continue for a while.

same on galaxy a50, fedora silverblue with arch ditrobox

how to get aboot.mbn?

[alekulyn]

@TheAirBlow I also ran into this trying to flash the Samsung Galaxy A35. How would you like me to send you the aboot.mbn?

This also happened with my sm-a256e.
