How to Create Bootable SD Card with G4-H811 Loader.img File On your PC
1. First, format your SD Card. exFAT is preferred.
2. Download and extract DiskImageRev2 onto a folder on your PC then, open it. Download DiskImageRev2 from here.
3. Slot your SD Card in a card reader and connect it to your PC.
4. Launch DiskImageRev2 on your PC - as Admin preferrably.
5. On launch, DiskImageRev2 should detect and display the drive where your SD Card is connected. If otherwise, browse to select the drive.
6. From DiskImageRev2, browse to the folder where you saved / copied the G4-H811 Loader.img file on your PC and select it.
7. Now, click Write and wait until DiskImageRev2 completes the process.
- Once DiskImageRev2 has successfully written the files on the SD Card, your SD Card is now bootable! You may now insert it on your G4-H811 and boot the device using its bootloader key combo.
The Loader method requires a full ROM Dump also known as a full blk0 backup of a working G4-H811 correctly/rightly flashed or written on a pretty good and fast class 10 SD Card.
The logic behind this method is that, as already demonstrated on Moto Z Play, most Qualcomm devices can boot from SD Card formatted using the right system files written in the right order.
We will therefore attempt to extract G4-H811 loader.bin or loader.img file and flash it on an SD Card so that, when slotted on a G4-H811, the device could identify it as the eMMC and boot from there.
This method only takes your device to recovery or fastboot mode wherein you can use official software programs to flash the device.
