[Please help] Locating PAC file for Blu M8L tablet
(24-07-2024, 01:58 AM)Aptiva So I keep seeing that I need to extract a PAC file in order to start working on custom recovery. However there has been ZERO mention of where these are being found.
I contacted Blu today and they refuse to share the firmware files, so I guess I'm stuck taking my chances with a similar device or having someone share the PAC files for a Blu M8L tablet. This uses a Unisoc UMS312 Quad Core. I can do the work myself and will share the results, but in order to get anywhere, I need to achieve a temporary root, find a firmware file, or risk bricking my tablet by using the firmware from a similar device. I know how to boot the device without flashing stock partitions, I just cannot get the firmware.
(24-07-2024, 07:06 PM)Aptiva If these will work even to boot a semi functional TWRP, that is perfect. I looked into the tablet a bit more and what I have is a M0176, however I cannot determine if it is M0176WW or M0176UU
I've done a bit more research and it's a Unisoc SC9863A chip in this tablet. Even a temporary root exploit would suffice to get this started
(26-07-2024, 05:08 PM)Aptiva I attempted to make a backup (with this guide - https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-31800.html) using a M0174 pac file as it was the only one available. I did NOT flash any files, but now the tablet flashes the splash screeen endlessly and will not boot into fastboot, bootloader, or system. Any ideas?
The model I used the PAC file from is the closest variant firmware available and uses the same SOC as my tablet.
