I didn´t see all the background of your issue.

- It looks like your device is trying to boot and can´t but what happened before to get this state (bootlooping)? can you go tofastboot? bootloader locked?

- You need to do 4 things to make sure that the installation of the drivers be sucessfull and can comunicate with your device although the recommendable is to install all the drivers while your device was operating and working:

(1) Uninstall all the drivers actually installed onto your pc.

(2) Disable driver signature from Windows and reboot pc.

(3) Install all the drivers just the needed and ever as administrator.

(4) You had to enable previously USB/Android debugging on Developer Options otherwise nothing of this will work for you and ADB operations won´t be an option.

Assuming that you made the 4 steps and specially the 4th, connect device with pc in recovery mode before to try to sideload nothing and now type: adb devices and see what returns from CMD, you have to see an ID followed by recovery on terminal window and on device PC manager you will see something like ADB Interface this is the moment that if you don´t get a retun from CMD then you have to update the driver by right clicking on ADB Interface not on other USB driver neither while you are on sideload mode.

And just to clarify there´s no such kind of cable (fastboot cable) actually cables from OEMs come with an only USB cable that integrates 4 wires for charging and data transmission. If you bought a cable for charging only purpose then it won´t work and also it could happen that the cord can be damaged so you can try with other cable that supports the same voltage (preferably) but only if the steps above mentioned didn´t work.

Help with frp on Google Pixel 3

Hello everyone, I'm in need of some help with this Google pixel 3 that I bought off the street.

Unfortunately I didn't buy it, someone got it for me and they didn't realize that the google account was still on it. We tried to get ahold of the buyer but they haven't been responding to any messages or calls.

I was looking up how to do it but they all require talkback and my version doesn't have that option, i've gotten lucky and gotten as far as going into dim screen and going into feedback but I can't watch youtube videos (says error and to enable javascript).

Please if anyone can help or point me in the right direction, I would very much appreciate the help. I've been stuck trying to get past this for days.

Carrier: Verizon

Talkback Version: 7.1.0.200241870

Did not come with sim :(

I think you found the problem : )

Thanks SubwayChamp!! History is very simple, the kidle was working and then just stopped. It is in some sort of boot loop. It appears to be turning on, the Amazon logo appears, then goes black, starts all over (about a 20-30 sec loop). I've tried holding the power button 20 seconds, booting into recovery mode, clearing cache, factory reset, etc. and they haven't worked. There had been no previous "hacking" attempts or anything. It was my aunts, she used it to read books, take pictures but she did put facetime on it - I've been thinking that it maybe buggered it up??

As I was googling trying to figure out options trying to recover it I came across posts that talked about not being able to use the cable that came with it but rather having to buy something like this in order to re-flash it: https://www.amazon.com/Factory-Fastboot-Cable-N2A-Motorola/dp/B0099E59SG

I am 100% confident my aunt never went into settings and enabled debugging.

So does that mean this brick is now unrecoverable? Is there anyway re-flash it?

THANKS AGAIN!!! Really appreciate you guys taking time to helps newbie's like me out!!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, you'll need a fastboot cable to flash the device.

The guys in the thread that I linked previously have all the tricks you'll ever need to flash or unbrick your device.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I think that you have a soft brick despite how many time you are trying to recover it just cause the owner of device never did enable USB Debugging.

In this case just mean that you can do nothing through adb like sideloading a rom from your pc but you have yet fastboot mode; now understood what you mean by "fastboot" cable is just a modified cable similar to EDL cable. If your device doesn´t have a dedicated ext SDCard slot or is not compatible with OTG then your (about) last resort or next step is fastboot mode, usually mtk devices in this state have a preloader corrupted; here is where "fastboot" cable can help you and not with the tries you did before, check this video https://youtu.be/BC0L6Up5opQ and also make a DESCRIPTIVE post of your issue in the thread linked by Droidriven

I have searched countless forums and have tried kingroot, kingoroot, 360, the PC version of kingo, I have tried adb root exploits. I have tried fastboot (have never been able to type "fastboot devices" and receive recognition) I have downloaded Qualcomm drivers, adb drivers, zte drivers. I have used the software for flashing zte devices which failed when I tried to flash. I have enabled developer options and ticked OEM unlocking and USB debugging.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you could get booted into the correct mode and you could get a copy of your stock firmware, you could use Magisk to create a modified boot.img then flash that modified boot.img then install Magisk root manager/framework on the device to root the device.

If you can't get to fastboot mode or some kind of mode that will allow flashing a modified boot.img via some kind of flashtool, I doubt there is anything you can do.

If the universal rooting apps and PC programs won't work and if you have no kind of mode to boot into to allow flashing the device, then, sadly, you're probably out of luck. By the way, stock recovery won't work either, so don't bother mentioning that you can boot into recovery. Fastboot or some kind of download mode is what you need.

ZTE devices don't get much "real" support from developers anyway, not to mention the fact that some carriers completely remove fastboot and recovery, leaving mothing that can be manipulated to flash the device.

How to use it

Steps I have taken to load up my oppo R11s cph1719 ;

1. Press vol+ and vol- with device powered off and connect to PC

2. Load content XML (rom?)

3. Load programmer mbn

The instructions I've read everywhere aren't clear .. how do I load the firmware properly? Says to "extract rom" and the XML and mbn files are in output?? You can't extract ofp or ozip (oppo) stock ROMs, so how do I do it??

after flashing a custom rom, my internal storage is not showing in file explorer. Through usb data transfer, it is showing "internal shared storage" but nothing to open. when i boot into twrp and attach usb, everything is fine. But as i boot the problem remains. I tried flashing another rom but the problem persists.

So, maybe not a rom problem and nobody in the threads reported such a problem. I had to change data type to f2fs and back to ext4 while installing custom rom as internal storage wasnt mounting.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
When you install QPST then you will get it on Programm Files inside main drive, go to >Qualcomm>QPST>bin and execute qfil as administrator.

Unzip your rom file in bin directory for easier/faster access from the tool.

Once you open the tool from the two options that you´ll see upper at the left select Flat Build and you will need to load just three files that will load all the rom onto your device.

Inside Select Programmer box browse to the unzipped rom and you have to see a file named similar to prog_emm_firehose_sdm....... select it, then go to Select Build and tap on Load XML and the tool will show you the right file RawProgramm file first; select it and then will open again a window and will show you the next needed file (Patch file).

When you see the Download button ready tap on it and it´s all.

If you don´t see these files mentioned then you don´t have the proper files and you couldn´t use this tool.

This is the easy way to use this tool but it could be a lot of issues so this tool is very used on bricked devices or unnoficial flashings through download/EDL mode.

Is undervolting worth the trouble ? Does it increases battery life ? Would an undervolt combined with an overclock a good combination ? Is there an any-brand-of-phone app to undervolt/overclock ?
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Undervolting will increase battery life, but at the expense of performance on your device. If you don't care about slow loading and such, then go ahead and do it. Most people want to overclock which is bad for the battery because of over heating. Personally, I just leave the kernel at stock values.

It's an ozip or ofp I want to extract .. ? r u sure oppos can even be flushed with this program,, as the above mentioned extension. Can not normally be just "unzipped"? Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
CPH roms with ozip extension for OPPO devices can be extracted using 7zip but they don´t contain the files that you need to flash using ANY Qualcomm downloader tool so they are OTA updates to be flashed through recovery.

CPH roms with ofp extension have to be used with a dongle or a box like Miracle Box that also can extract ofp files and also is used MSM Downloader but I think that is a non-free tool.

You asked how to use qfil and I explained you but I said also that if you don´t have the proper files to be used with then you can´t use this tool.

If you can enter to recovery you can update through it (atleast you are bricked) or if you already have fastboot available atleast you could try to flash system and boot images trying to solve.

[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Unfortunately OPPO & OnePlus are different enough to be not really comparable, at least in my opinion! Sure they're both owned by BBK Electronics, just like VIVO is but the possibilities on the software side varies greatly, with OnePlus being definitely the most permissive of those 3 brands, allowing bootloader unlock without effect on warranty, supporting custom software development by donating devices to developers and projects (TWRP, ROMs & Kernels)...

And yeah, I'm working way too much these days leaving not much time "on spare" to follow my passions! I'm even running a stock device for the first time in 5 years or so, just because I don't have time to maintain a modded device anymore, missing the old days pretty much, like most old man do!

Still I'm here from time to time admiring the continues legwork you do since all those years, that's a heck of a achievement and worth pointing out whenever I can!

Sorry, not being really helpful this time - there's a next time however, there always is a next time! Going back to hibernation now in good hope that my phone won't take 5 days again to notify me!

Trying to compile TWRP or similar for my device.

Hi all!

I'm trying to install a previous Android version on my phone, however, Stock Recovery won't let me do it. (My phone is a TP-Link Neffos C7).

I'm trying to compile TWRP for my device since it doesn't currently exist.

I have quite a few doubts about this, and basically, they're about getting started.

- I currently have 8.1.0 on my phone, does TRWP still can be compiled for my device?

- Do I have to compile TWRP or should I compile something like Orange Fox or Red Wolf?

- Does TWRP and other recoveries can be compilied to work with almost any device?

- Is my device still able to accept a TWRP that I make using the video tutorials?

- Do I have to unlock the bootloader of my phone to flash a Custom Recovery? This is something I've been always terrified to do.

Thanks in advance!

I've seen that some TP-Link Neffos devices have been able to use TWRP as a custom recovery, so I'm keeping my hopes up.

I don't know much about Linux or ROMs, but I'm eager to start making a Custom Recovery for my phone.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Neither TWRP can install a stock rom unless you adapt the rom this way and to achieve this you need to do more research.

If you find the proper rom (not an update like the available on the official site) you can install a downgrade through SPFlash Tool.

They´re similar questions with the same answer; yes.

You need to unlock bootloader to modify any partition and get that device accepts this modification, nothing to worry about.

There are many sites to learn how to compile or port a custom recovery, these are just two as reference: https://twrpbuilder.github.io and https://************/how-to-di

Flashed root, just needed that

Ok, I did some research and aparently, my phone (a not so well known device) fits for the unlock method without a code from the manufacturer. All I needed was either root on my current version of Android or a custom recovery to flash a previous version of Android. As you stated above, TWRP and the Stock Recovery couldn't do that, so I found how to at least flash Magisk through adb.

It worked, so I'll be using that.

Need advise on backup phone w/ custom rom

Hello,

Can any one of you give me some suggestions about what phone I should get?

It has to be decent and have a stable custom rom available. Price range max 150 euro.

Many years ago I had a Xiaomi Mi2s with MIUI global rom. I liked that very much, but I have read that there are now ads in MIUI. Or are they only on Xiaomi devices?

You might think right now, why the hell can't he find this on his own?

Well I have looked at some devices like the Galaxy S5 mini. Roms are available, but I can't tell for certain if they are stable.

Also when I check devices at the LineageOS website, everywhere it says 'initial build, can break'.

Maybe I'm missing some things.

In fact if one actually tried to extract any ofp or ozip with 7zip it actually fails to extract.

No one has given me a answer to this ,where do I get the XML, and also, the mbn firehose files from.

As there are no proper tutorials for using Qfil I'm still unclear on any way to use any flashtool for my phone .
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
The way to use QPST/qfil was already explained in my last post and there are several tutorials on Youtube and a lot of references on XDA and in other sites. You can´t force a tool to work without the proper files as I already stated before.

As explained before CPH roms come in two format; ozip and ofp.

Generally ozip roms are easily extracted using 7zip without any additional trick although It could be that some ozip files are signed or encrypted but no point to search a workaround there for your specific case so they don´t contain the PROPER files to be used with qfil, they´re just an OTA update to be flashed through stock recovery.

View attachment 4754425 View attachment 4754426

Probably the files that you need are inside the ofp rom but it´s unlikely that someone here that don´t own this device can confirm this.

So your next move would be to do more research on how to extract files with ofp extension, visit the threads around OPPO devices not specifically your same model and maybe you will find the answer there, also search on GitHub, I thnk that you can find it there and with Linux this could be achieved.
