There was some confusion around these two devices, first released was the Redmi 5 Plus for only China but then globally, for other regions received the Redmi Note 5 name and Xiaomi released after a similar device slightly more powered also and to try to solve that mistake they rebranded the second device as Redmi Note 5 Pro.

First off identify wich is your device:

- Redmi Note 5/Redmi 5 Plus has a Snapdragon 625 and just one camera (Codename: Vince), this is the general thread for it: https://xdaforums.com/c/xiaomi-redmi-note-5-5-plus.7415/

- Redmi Note 5 Pro has a Snapdragon 636 and two rear cameras (Codename Whyred), this is the thread for: https://xdaforums.com/c/xiaomi-redmi-note-5-pro.7419/

This actually helped a lot, i didn't know about that, so i discovered that my phone is a 5 Pro, in cpu doesn't show the name, only that is a octa-core 1.80 GHz, but i found the model (M1803E7SG), i discovered that my phone has a snapdragon 636 so it's a Pro (I know that i could just check by the camera, but i want to be sure to don't brick my phone).

Thanks i'll try to install a new rom now.

What would be the specific stock firmware needed for my Samsung Galaxy S10+? It has a model number of SM-G975U and is Unlocked with no carrier. I need to flash a stock ROM with ODIN, but I’m afraid I will use the wrong ROM and brick my phone.

Unfortunately my phone is stuck on boot and I cannot check within the Settngs panel I tried checking the CSC in the Download mode but it doesn’t show there either.View attachment 5231705

So, i'm trying to install twrp in my phone to install LineageOS, but, i tried in a windows computer and seems that worked, but when i reboot and press volume up and power button, it seems like isn't installed, so i tried in my Manjaro computer, and i shows waiting for device and nothing happens, what sould i do?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
First off I guess you did unlock bootloader.

If the message in fastboot is OK then TWRP was flashed.

Try either flashing TWRP through fastboot and then boot to it through commands (not using hardware buttons) or just boot to it through commands and then flash it through same TWRP.

Copy this zip to your SDcard https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=674106145207491204 you might need to flash it in order to reboot to system (it depends in the TWRP version).

As per Manjaro not detecting device is an issue with the adb and fastboot probably not properly installed assuming that you -again- did all the process required till here, I mean enable OEM unlock, bind your Mi account, unlock bootloader through MiFlash Unlock tool and check if after some reboot USB debugging was not deactivated.

Okay, so I got the zip(s) from a Google Drive account that belongs to Sunchai Paejaroenchai. From what I could gather he appears to be a developer of the Dolby Magisk module, unless I'm mistaken. Two of the zips failed, but one was successful according to the Magisk logs. Where do you think the software would've ended up? I can't find it anywhere. Is there a possibility of getting ahold of Sunchai? Or could it have said it was successful and didn't install it anywhere after all, and I'm just paranoid? I've had volume issues since I did it; I'm relatively sure of this.

Hi guys,

I'm planning to upgrade an old tablet kernel + android from Kernel 3.0.8 Android 4.0.4 to Kernel 4.10 with Android Oreo Go. What's the best way to do it? i managed to extract the kernel from bootimg and as far as i understood i'll have to apply patch by patch and fix bugs one by one when they come out.

What's the best way to prceed? i've found https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/ with all the patches and changelogs but it's like 835 patches in total.

It's my first attempt to do something like this and i've been watching a few guides on the forum.

The thing is that most of them try to start from someone else kernel that, sadly, it isn't available for my device both because it's old and because it's an almost unknown tablet brend ( the rom was impossible to find and i had to extract all the partitions to make the corresponding .img files)

Another question before i go forward with my project. If i have the partitions backup will it save my tablet if i brick it? i mean if something goes wrong with boot partition can I put back the partition backup i made and restore it to default?

Check which CSC you downloaded, most likely the XAA will work (it´s the default firmware for US unbranded devices), also the XAS and BST might work, assuming that you enabled before OEM unlock toggle (not to unlock it).

i recommend that you firstly go to recovery stock, then wipe cache, then format data/factory reset, then reboot to bootloader (download) and for the CSC tab choose CSC_OYM file.

Hello, i want to ask for some help, so i have accidentally misupdated my android driver with an adb interface driver for computer, now when i debugging my device to the computer, it is listed in "universal serial bus devices" not in "other devices" anymore, it is a problem because i wanted to install google camera for my phone, but now my phone can't stand in fastboot mode anymore, it always asked me to shutdown my phone.

I have tried updating it with the universal driver i got from the internet, but it always show me "the folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device" i'm sure this driver was compatible before, because i have tried it before i misupdated my android driver.

Any help will be appreciated, and i'm sorry for my bad english, thanks.

Hey all, trying to install TWRP on my Mi a2 running android 10 (Android one) the phone had been unlocked since about 2019, and the dev mod is enabled if that matters. I got the app but every time I hit TWRP flash, the app is crashing.

I did have this installed before, but I think its no longer installed because I had to do a factory reset a lil while ago. when I go into recovery (up vol and power) I got a lil android with its chest open and a red exclamation mark and it says "No command" and nothing more (that seems odd to me...) but yeah pretty sure this is an indicator TWRP did not survive my factory reset. sorry if this is worded poorly, took some sleeping medication last night and feeling on the groggy side.

Is anyone else having trouble with Google discover not being able to refresh? Apparently it is due to a sign in issue which as far as I know there isn't one. I've checked over my accounts cleaned up a couple of devices that aren't used anymore and removed them. At first I thought it was an issue with the device because I had to do a factory reset. But I just did a basic wipe of the data and what not. I didn't reflash the ROM or reflash any Gapps. I stopped thinking it was specific to this device when I went outside with my cell phone and was smoking a cigarette and realized it was not working on the cell phone either. As the moment I only have a tablet and a cell phone that I can check and neither of them have discover working.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Update it is not always the better, some times they need to be removed, better now would be start with a fresh install, I would recommend that you uninstall all the remained drivers, check if there is some old drivers even for other devices that you actually don´t use and..

Install this https://adbdriver.com/downloads/ and this https://gsmusbdrivers.com/download/android-qualcomm-usb-driver/ both are generic but in case you need proprietary drivers from OEM here you have a collection of drivers.

Boot to TWRP through fastboot then flash it through TWRP itself, some TWRPs have the script needed to permanently fix it in the boot parttition, this device doesn´t have a dedicated recovery partition so some changes you make in the boot partition can affect TWRP.

Hello all,

I'm trying to flash a stock rom to my Samsung Galaxy S10+ using Odin v3.14.1 but it shows me this message:

"Please be sure to delete your google account (samsung account) before downloading the binary. it is not possible to use the device without unlocking. Changing the partition without unlocking will cause problems."

My phone is soft bricked, and I cannot unlock my phone at all. nor remove my google account from my phone thru the settings menu. What are the consequences of going ahead with flashing the stock ROM on here? I'm trying to save my personal data on this device, and trying my best to avoid a full factory reset and wiping everything.

For context, The first time I flashed with Odin v3.13.1 it failed halfway and gave me this error screen. I think this error meant that my phone was bricked hard. So I decided to unplug my phone and soft reset it.

View attachment 5234049

The second time I tried flashing I encountered this error screen while trying to flash with Odin v3.13.1, but I've seen people recommend using another computer and flashing again. I used a spare laptop but it failed again.

View attachment 5233957

Now I’m contemplating using the newer version of Odin, v3.14.1 and trying once more, which brings us back to the beginning of this post. Will it even make a difference? Something tells me I made things far worse than before...

Hi guys,

I can't figure out where to start with my boot.img in order to upstream the kernel.

The boot img is extracted from my tablet boot partition but once i extract it i can't understand how to start cerry picking with linux stable kernels.

I've uploaded both the img and the extracted files that i got with Android Kernel Kitchen.

https://mega.nz/folder/Q64WHAAa#p_-SYUkhRUSO5XP_bRzxNA

If i could have the source code it would be easier but the tablet is like it never existed as it's an unknown brand from many years ago. My project will take it from Android 4.0.4 to 4.4 or 8 (Go version) in order to use it with recent apps.

I'm not asking for you to do my job as that wouldn't realy help learnig how to do it by myself but right now i can't realy find the start point.

With that said, what's the next step after extracting?

You're going to need to find a firmware file that is the same binary number. If you don't you will not be able to flash any firmware back to the device until that firmware is found.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Well, you mentioned that you have a Lenovo device, then MiFlash tool is not suitable for Lenovo devices, it´s just for Xiaomi devices so the reason why your device got bricked (soft) is not cause you ticked clean_all_and_lock option but for the mentioned before.

In case you did mention/mean QPST, no sense by now to use it, so you have unlocked bootloader and access to fastboot to flash anything, no need to test-point your device.

The tool for Lenovo is this https://www.themefoxx.com/lenovo-downloader-tool/ if you can go to fastboot mode you could use it.

Also if you yet can unlock bootloader so you have access to fastboot mode then you can flash almost any partition through fastboot commands, this may fix your issue.

Plus a device semi-bricked might be unresponsive through commands to send it to recovery mode but I´m pretty sure that you still can go to it using hardware buttons if you can try something through TWRP like a backup or flash some custom ROM.

Battery issues can come within other reasons because:

- Of course; your battery is damaged.

- You didn´t do a fresh install without wiping properly.

- The ROM that you installed consume a lot of resources due to a fault from developer.

- You flashed an unauthorized kernel versus the one recommended by the dev.

- A great etc, that doesn´t come to my mind right now.

I don´t know why they continue to launch devices with MediaTek 6580 on these days.

You won´t find nothing for your specific model (I found a funny concept in the net; a ripoff device? )so you´ll have to give it a try by your own with the next under tries and fails rules:

- Download this tool and try to extract both recovery and boot images from your device; https://www.allmobitools.com/download-mtk-droid-tools/ also you could try with https://xdaforums.com/t/amazing-temp-root-for-mediatek-armv8-2020-08-24.3922213/

- Then you might read this thread on how to port TWRP for your device https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-how-to-port-twrp-recovery-to-mediatek-devices-i-can-port-also.4027321/ this is only an example from the various threads available that may complement the information.

- Then you might read this thread on how to port custom ROMs to MediaTek devices https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-porti...arshmallow-rom-porting-guide-figured.3373520/ this is only an example from the various threads available for this topic. The kernel is running 6.0 (MM) but may suit also for Nougat and even Oreo.

As you see you have a long way till the final goal. Unfortunately they continue launching devices with a modern shell but weak in its core and without support.

Assuming that you have bootloader locked.

And assuming that your device at least is booting to system reboot firstly to recovery mode manually (power off device, then press vol. up + pwr, when device vibrates release pwr button and keep pressing vol. up) and -sorry- you should have to perform a factory reset/wipe data from the three options that you´ll see (all your data will gone) then reboot to system again, through the System update menu, tap on Miui 10 approx 10 times and then you´ll see more options in the three dots menu at the right of the top of the screen and now you´ll can re-download the latest update and then you could re-apply the update, this may fix the issue, maybe it was a failed update so they are to bring improvements, never I did an update that worst my system as always see people claiming so.
