Signing tool for MSM8974 (not ELF)

[bzy-080408]

I tryed to sign the sbl1.mbn,emmc_aboot.mbn (for msm8974) use this tool,but it showed this

SBL1 on older SoCs like MSM8974 is not an ELF file, it cannot be signed by qtestsign at the moment. Sorry.

and I have a msm8953 device,it enabled the "secure boot" and I have the hashes_HA256 code,can I change this tool and use it sign bootloader for my device?

If you have a device with secure boot enabled you'd need access to the private signing keys, which hopefully shouldn't be possible to obtain anywhere.

and did you know that how to sign the aboot image for msm8974?I cannot find anytools for it.

[bzy-080408]

by the way,my msm8974 device don`t have secure boot

[stephan-gh]

I'm not sure if you need to sign it at all, the EMMCBOOT.MBN generated by LK already has a header that might be suitable for devices without secure boot. I'd recommend to try if flashing it just works but MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A WAY TO RECOVER YOUR DEVICE IN CASE IT FAILS (e.g. with EDL).

I tryed to flash aboot image that i built,but it cannot boot

[stephan-gh]

I'm not sure then at the moment, I have no experience with replacing firmware on MSM8974.

[bzy-080408]

ok,thank you

emmm, I tryed to flashed a ARM Trusted Firmware I built without signed (for msm8974,sources from qualcomm leaked) and it booted success.So it looks like does not need to signed
