I’m assuming this is for patching an ota file. Right now I download the factory image and patch the init_boot.img from that, and flash it after I download and flash the OTA. I guess this means I don’t have to download both
Where do you download the factory image from? I can’t find it on the Motorola website, or any trusted source.
I’ve personally got a pixel, and Google makes the factory images freely available. If I remember right my old Motorola had a desktop updater app that you could install if you set the USB mode on your phone to something like “installer” or similar. I could grab OTA files from the cache on the updater.
This is for custom roms mainly. LineageOS for example gives you a payload.bin but not a boot.img.
