you asked:
1. Will using the Raspberry Pi imager software definitely wipe the rootfs partition ?
YES - it will re-write both partitions.
2. Will reinstalling the missing firmware, resolve the loss of video output from my
Raspberry Pi 5 ?
you might try updating the bootloader. instructions :
https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentati ... ate_stable
as for the EDID=none, this would result in no output to the HDMI,as the PI relies on the EDID data to choose the output resolution.
however, you can set the resolution manually:
in /boot/cmdline.txt (add to the front/end of the line, NOT a new line)
-- IMPORTANT NOTE: for Bookworm, the file is at /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt !!
video=HDMI-A-1:1024x768@60D
(or whatever resolution you want)
