Member: 2706270 Status: Offline Thanks Meter: 4 | Alcatel VFD720 dm-verity disable This phone has separate system and vendor partitions which are verified with dm-verity. I want to add Polish strings to apks/framework. So I tried to disable veryfying of vendor and system partition (by editing fstab in boot.img), but there's only fstab.enableswap file available, which doesn't contain system/vendor mountpoints. Later I found fstab.mt6739 on the vendor image, in /etc, and it had the desirable mounts. But after removing 'verify' flag, the phone still keeps restarting on android logo (only if system was modified). I've also noticed, that changing anything in vendor image doesn't take effect (tried removing vodafone apps, changing strings in an apk). Is it possible that vendor partition is somehow bypassed? PS I'm flashing the firmware with xxxxxxx box. Last edited by Brka; 02-28-2019 at 22:29. Reason: removed boxes |

Member: 163 Status: Offline Thanks Meter: 7,777 | let me try to explain this case as short as possible : if you edit anything, you will break dm-verity without insecure boot or unlocked bootloader. so, without unlocked bootloader and eventually root, hardly possible to do anything related to system modding. b.r.
