Title: How to revert Cosmo Linux Beta to factory android?
Post by: irukandji on February 20, 2020, 09:07:46 am
I would like to start from fresh (I have Cosmo Linux Beta installed), but I dont have any official image to flash. I have seen this https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showto...mp;#entry294205 (https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=35879&st=75&p=294205&#entry294205) but I dont recognize the format of image and I dont want to flash it using wrong tool (or wrong settings). Can someone please help me out?

Just repartition back to 'Whole 128GB for android' as you did for the linux beta? That should leave you with a fresh clean base

Thank you for trying to answer. The issue I have is that I dont know how to reflash android partition and as far as I have looked into beta files there is no android rom image inside, only bootloader that in case of selecting rooted boot injects su into android. I would like to flash vanilla rom to start with finding out when sim card stops responding.

Just repartition it from the same menu you installed linux beta? If you repartition it to 'whole for android' it should flash it for you with the same android you got originally

Hmmm... ok, I'll try but this would mean that what we see as system partition is not actual rome and they are having it somewhere else...
