🚀 Vbmeta Verification Disabler

This tool simplifies the process of disabling vbmeta Verification—a common requirement when installing Custom Recoveries (TWRP/OrangeFox) or Custom ROMs on Android devices. It patches the image and packages it into a flashable format.

With integrated GitHub Actions support, you can generate your patched files directly on the cloud without setting up a local Linux environment.

✨ Features

• Auto-Patching: Utilizes patch-vbmeta.py to disable the verification flags in vbmeta.img.
• Flash-Ready: Automatically compresses the patched image into lz4 and wraps it in a .tar archive for compatibility with various flashing tools. (Samsung Recommend)
• Flexible Input: Supports direct download links (URL) or local file paths.
• Cloud Build: Fully automated workflow via GitHub Actions.
