Flashing the image using MacOS

[mvisic]

I managed to get two free TSV's still sealed in a box.

I've installed edl and loaders using the instructions here.

I have then followed the linux instructions in this repository but am stuck on the second start edl command. patch0.xml runs as expected but when I try to run prog_emmc_firehose_8953_ddr.mbn I get zsh: permission denied

I then checked permissions for that file using the -ls l command and the file is -rwxrwxrwx (777) Everyone can read, write and execute.

Is there anything am missing or has anyone successfully flashed a TSV using MacOS?

Had no luck with a Mac, installed Windows 10 on an old Intel NUC to get the job done

What a shame. I must see if I can get hold of a Windows PC then.

Flashing using macOS worked fine on my side. These are the commands I used:

brew install libusb git android-platform-tools
git clone https://github.com/bkerler/edl.git
cd edl
git submodule update --init --recursive
python3 setup.py build
# I had to disable int conversion to fix issues using python3.11
sudo CFLAGS=-Wno-int-conversion python3 setup.py install

export dir=(directory where you placed the firmware files)

edl qfil $dir/image/rawprogram_unsparse.xml $dir/image/patch0.xml $dir/image --loader=$dir/image/prog_emmc_firehose_8953_ddr.mbn

edl w aboot $dir/image/emmc_appsboot.mbn
edl w abootbak $dir/image/emmc_appsboot.mbn

edl w recovery $dir/lineage-15.1-20240531-UNOFFICIAL-starfire-recovery.img

adb sideload $dir/lineage-15.1-20240602-UNOFFICIAL-starfire.zip
adb sideload $dir/open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20220215.zip

adb install $dir/WallPanelApp-prod-universal-v0.12.0.apk

these commands also worked for me, additionally I had to work around an error for missing pylzma, made it work with these steps: bkerler/edl#547 (comment)
