The only working patch-recovery tool that ever lived to patch Samsung's recovery images to enable fastbootd mode.

Features

• Supports .img, .lz4, and .zip formats as input.
• Supports both recovery and vendor_boot images.
• Automatically downloads and processes recovery images from a provided URL or local path.
• Hex-patches the recovery binary to enable fastbootd mode.
• Creates an ODIN-flashable .tar file for easy flashing.

Notes:

• All the hex patches are located in this database file.
• On Samsung devices, vendor_boot contains the recovery ramdisk, only if the device uses the A/B partition scheme.

If this tool didn’t enable the fastbootd mode, it means we need to find your exact hex byte sequence to enable it. To learn how to get those values, please refer to the guide on the "how-to-find-patches" page.
