AYN Odin 3: Rocknix ABL

This assumes your Odin 3 can boot on EFI thanks to my previous post.

ROCKNIX-ABL describes itself as a custom Qualcomm ABL created specifically for the emulation community and Qualcomm-based devices.

It allows dual-booting betwen Android and an EFI loader like systemd-boot.

Before we switch bootloaders, let's back up the current one:

edl-ng --loader iqoo_13.melf read-part abl_a abl_backup.img

Then download abl_signed-SM8650.elf and flash it with:

edl-ng --loader iqoo_13.melf write-part abl_a abl_signed-SM8650.elf

You can now boot Android by holding volume up and pressing power.

In the next installment, we'll boot NixOS from a microSD card.
