A12 — Vbmeta Samsung

Just don’t expect Samsung Pay to ever forgive you. Pull your own vbmeta with:

avbtool make_vbmeta_image --flags 2 --padding_size 4096 -o vbmeta_custom.img Flag 2 means VERITY_DISABLED and VERIFICATION_DISABLED . Flashing this to the vbmeta partition tells AVB: “Don’t check anything. Just boot.” vbmeta samsung a12

adb shell su dd if=/dev/block/by-name/vbmeta of=/sdcard/vbmeta.img Then analyze it with avbtool info_image . You might be surprised what you find. Just don’t expect Samsung Pay to ever forgive you
