Make sure,,1. uncheck the auto reboot option in odin

2. after flashing the twrp, don'trestart the phone. Restart to recovery mode (Press vol down + power followed by volume up +home+power)

The aforementioned post should fix ur issue 90%. If it doesnt, then kindly clarify a few details:

1. You are on latest stock oneui 3, android 11 right?

2. Does the twrp flashing go to sucess?

Ya numerous a505fn users have reported problems flashing twrp..

It is mostly reportef to be because samsung released some security patch to its latest stock.. thrrfefore making it impossible to flash twrp

So downgrade to a lower firmware, flash a vbmeta.. then try installing twrp..

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I seem to remember some Samsung devices that had to unlock bootloader AND disable Knox before flashing TWRP. It has been years so I don't remember the details but I'm sure you can find threads and posts discussing the things that had to be done as workarounds to flash TWRP.

If the bootloader truly is unlocked, it "should" be allowing TWRP to actually flash just not allowing it to boot due to Knox and its security checks not passing the bootloader.
[General Questions and Answers] VaporGame:
It appears to work! Thank you.

Are you saying since bootloader was previously unlocked it should be unlocked again once I log in to the Mii account?

That is probably what I did wrong. And no, the phone wasn't locked to a carrier previously. Is there a way to get the right firmware without unlocking bootloader?

I have an Infinix Hot 20 5g x666, I tried to flash GSI using fast boot into it. It failed and got bricked, it went into non-bootable condition.

I took it to the shop, and the person there tried to reflash it but it didn't work, so he did a CPU reballing which made my phone boot again to normal condition with all wifi Bluetooth etc but it didn't have its IMEI number. Yesterday I again took it to a different shop, and there again he said it needs a CPU reballing which will restore its IMEI, now after reballing my phone is stuck on the boot logo and doesn't boot.

Please anyone help me with a solution and please clarify what is the actual problem with my phone.

[General Questions and Answers] henonchschonleinpurp:
Mate.. the correct fastboot firmware can be flashed in a locked bootloader using MiFlashToool.

1. Obviously as theesenior member says, add your mi account and try syncingto see if bootloader status turns to unlocked - this attempt may need sim cardto be inserted.

2. Try it 1st, then you can flash the correct regional variant rom from xiaomi rom/anyother recognizsd rom websites:

https://xiaomirom.com/en/rom/redmi-note-8-ginkgo-global-fastboot-recovery-rom/#google_vignette

The MI flash tool also claims to have bootkoader unlock option. That's abonus.
[General Questions and Answers] Tazxding0:
what are u talking about mi account , its a vivo not a xiaomi man...
[General Questions and Answers] henonchschonleinpurp:
Frp lock is different from Google account block..

1. so prevoisly this phone was owned by someone right? Contacting him and unlocking the phone using his password would be practicaaland easiest

2. You tried factory reseting(= clear data, cache partotoon) and failed right. Then clear all system, boot, data , vendor radio and efs partitions and install again i.e. flash correct fastboot firmware for ur model from this or any recognised website via vivo flash toool. This methoddoesn't need frp unloclk.just make sure tofind the correct firmware based on ur model/ region. Links of both below:

[General Questions and Answers] RooterBooter:
Hi all!

Just wondering if any of you have experienced the same/similar situation and if so, what you did about it.

I recently downloaded the Amazon Flex app (I'm going to be a delivery driver!) and I was asked to log in to it to see the next steps in the application process.

When I did, I was then required to set a screen lock PIN. I did so, expecting to only have to use it to login to Amazon Flex. But the next time I unlocked my phone, it asked me to enter a PIN. I had a different method of unlocking my phone.

When I went to my settings to change my method back, I found the only options available were PIN, password, and biometrics, with all other options grayed out.

I'd like to set it back to my previous lock method without having to perform a factory reset. Any advice?

Can u tell me ur phone provessor by checking in ur settings.. mtk 6765 helio right
[General Questions and Answers] henonchschonleinpurp:
I assume urs is a mtk processor as I find thatmost/ all vivo Y15s v2139 are mtk helio processor. So SP flash tool is theOfficial tool and will work. Use it.

Herethe problem is not the sp flash tool, it's urphones usb port.

1. Install all vivo usb and mtp drivers - ur pc mosfly has all drivers. Just a formal step.

2. The most common/definitive/easy fix these days for a 5year oldphone notgetting recognised is to change subboard/subport. Just a 30min, 3$ work in A mobile shop. Subboard/subport= The usb b port of urphone with its internal hardware

And immediately ur phone will be recognised by pc. Iveexplained thereason behind the problem and howthe fix works in detail here:

j2 core (j260f/dsgsmh) frp locked since 2020

recently i found my j2 core frp locked. any method that still works (no 911 calls pls)

xdaforums.com

Forget about the sp flash tool man. You can also flash firmware by fastboot via command prompt of ur pc. But for all that, change urphones subport.
[General Questions and Answers] henonchschonleinpurp:
Yes when it asks "set a screen lock PIN" it means.. setting a screen lock pin mate i.e. for the phone.

Obviously the app supports only highly secure screen lock options - pin/fingerprint/password and doesn't support pattern unlock.

If gou justuninstall the app and restartphone, the otherscreen lock optiona will appear in settings.

Since it is abusiness app and is central to you, itis better not to tweak the app, right!

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Firstly, to clarify things, you did mean, you need to flash some custom ROM, to solve (or try to) the issue with signal reception or something more, I don´t remember just now, I didn´t mean, you necessarily need to do so, but, I only stated about the way to "re" unlock a device, that is locked now, but it was unlocked previously.

The first process to unlock a Xiaomi device (except for those that has Android One on it), is linking an account, but this need to be done just one time, consider that signing in and bind/link are different processes.

If you need to unlock your device again, just signing in the same account that was in, previously, then follow the process with the Xiaomi Unlock tool.

Said all that, for the next, the first step, before to modify the software of a device, you should take a backup of the most important partitions.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Reballing has nothing to do with IMEI, if it is done carefully, no harm, but also, no way to restore, you probably lost IMEI, in the GSI flashing process. Unfortunately, there are some people without the minimal knowledge, that get in the business to gain for nothing.

The only thing, your device always need, is to have the right firmware back in.

If they didn´t cause more damage to the hardware, then your device, hopefully, could boot flashing the right firmware, search for it in the net, then you can follow some guide, from the lot available, searching for "how to unbrick a MediaTek device", if your device can boot to system, then the next step will be, recover the IMEI, in case it is still possible.
[General Questions and Answers] THORISGR8:
After first reballing it was back into normal condition working fine as usual but without imei number.

I checked that it also had its baseband.

I have been trying to locate TCL 30 LE 4188S stock firmware, but there doesn't seem to be any source to download so after doing some more research I saw a discussion that suggests that a donor phone could be used to backup the firmware to restore on the defective TCL 30 LE 4188S.

The two options available to me for trying to fix the firmware on this smartphone are to purchase a donor phone and do the backup and restore or someone could provide a backup from their TCL 30 LE 4188S for me to use to try to restore the phone and hopefully functioning device. The smartphone is a mediatek based and I have the proper tools to restore.

[General Questions and Answers] QXJBT:
Is there any particular area that provides information on what actions to be cautious of? I have a device that I rooted and installed TWRP on about 4-5 years ago. I want to update its Android version (8.1.0) and its custom recovery. However, I've long forgotten everything regarding this particular subject matter, so I don't know what actions might cause a brick. I don't know if there are any actions I may have taken in the past to be cautious of, any actions that I need to do beforehand, or any actions that I shouldn't do when it comes to this device. The substantial amount of information on this site is overwhelming, and I don't know where specifically to look when it comes to answering those questions. I am using a Note 9 (SM-N9600) if that information is of any relevance. Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
do you actually need root? You can install and run TWRP without root.
[General Questions and Answers] QXJBT:
Yes, there are a few things that I like having it for (tweaking clock speeds, automating file transfers/syncing, removing applications I don't need, viper4android, hosts file for adblock, remapped proprietary side button etc.), so I would much rather keep it. I don't mind tripping Knox or not being able to use certain applications because of SafetyNet detection.

I think part of what I'm looking for is something I can reference back to, maybe something like a glossary or any other type of repository for information since it would probably help with tracing back what I might have done to my device. I have gone through the section for my device here in the forum, but I haven't found any thread that provides explicit detail on actions that I should do with precautionary measures there, so I assume that to be the case because I'm probably looking for common knowledge.
[General Questions and Answers] henonchschonleinpurp:
Hey Qjbt

Rule of the thumb in xda forums - type your device name in search - you will find 700+ threads for ur device alone, organised under 6 major categories .here is the note 9 device link

Samsung Galaxy Note 9

The Galaxy Note 9 is a 6.4" phone with a 1440x2960p display. The processor comes in Snapdragon 845 and Exynos 9810 options. There is 6/8GB of RAM and 128/512GB storage. The main camera is 12+12MP and the selfie camera is 8MP. The battery has a 4000mAh capacity.

xdaforums.com

Navigating to the guide section, there are few threads discussing how to root note 9. Here is a thread

(Guide)Root +Busybox + OEM Fix + EFS backup Note 9 N960F/FD/N Exynos only

How to ROOT Samsung Note 9 N960F/FD/N Before trying make sure that flashing said file, - Warranty will be void - You won't be able to use Secure Folder/Samsung Pay forever (or may be more) - May lose OEM unlock option - Backup important stuff...

[General Questions and Answers] henonchschonleinpurp:
Hey emili

The twrp3.7.12by ibiza is still in beta stage and didnt work for most people in the thread.

Power off and power on. You arent able to go past twrp recovery right? Dont worry its a soft brick, we just have to remove the twrp. Thatts it.

Try the following, one by one from least effective/easiest to most effective:

1. While in twrp, connect the phone to pc and type:

[Because its a touch screen issue right. So restarting using adb commands/ using a mouse - with ur phone in twrp should work]

2. Didnt work? Power off phone, enter fastboot mode. type:

[Concept: ur phone has 2 system partitions - slot A and slot B. twrp is installed in a particular slot.

"fastboot getvar all" - shows the slot you are currently in, in which twrp is installed.(say slot a)

"fastboot set_active other" - changes ur phone to the next slot (slot b) - there is no twrp installed.

"fastboot reboot" -Now if u restart, it will restart]

3. Didnt work? Those were the easy steps. This one is the gold standard solution for all brocked devices:

Flash the moto g firmware in fastboot mode.

You are using moto g50 2137-1 model right. Heres the link, just follow the stepa in the link (i.e) download the zip, extract it, you'll find 3 files. Install the motog50 flash tool, install the drivers. Connect ur phone in fastboot mode to pc, open the flash tool, attach the moto g 50 firmware.. flash.

[General Questions and Answers] henonchschonleinpurp:
Ive had my fair share of soft bricks past 2 months. Here's what:

Any small flashing should ve done with caution. Even the easiest/ latest official lineage OS onstallation guide - tells repearedly to reread and double xheck the article before flashing anythinh..

Almost 95% of errors (not following installtiom steps, root, flashing wrong firmware, fladhingg wrong rom/ unknowingly flashing without repartition, flashing buggy twrp) can at max lead to soft brick - which can be reversed by flashing firmware/ fastboot commands.

Probably due to extra care/user friendly design taken by developers.

Flashing incorrect kernel is risky. A hjnt: Any risky/hard brickable software can be easily identified just by the number of negative reviews.

[General Questions and Answers] Scottzilla007:
Hmm... That gives me an idea. Maybe if I root the phone, unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, and flash LineageOS, maybe I can then flash the stock Android 4.0 or 4.1 ROM after that. The reason why I'm choosing to go from LineageOS back to a stock Android 4.0 or 4.1 ROM is because Smart Switch backups only work with Samsung phones, not brands with stock Android like Huawei, OnePlus, etc. And it definitely does not work with iPhones because that is its competitor. (Unless you're switching from iPhone to Samsung) Would it work this way? Or is my Galaxy S3 just USELESS now?!

Im telling you again - not knowing the password- is not a reason to flash firmware. The sales merchant has scammed you. Get the password from them and proceed. SP flash tool may/maynt work in your case.

Personally, without knowing password and flashing firmware - it is unethical. Miui users have reported bricking their devices in the process. Proceed at your own risk.
