This works out of the box with fastboot version 9.0.0_r3:

$ fastboot reboot emergency

rebooting into emergency download (EDL) mode

OKAY [ 0.001s]

Finished. Total time: 0.158s

No need to patch. Nevertheless I tried the patch (by editing the source code fastboot.cpp, but it doesn’t work for different reasons:

$ ./fastboot reboot-edl

rebooting into EDL (hacked)

FAILED (remote: Device is already locked!)

I’m using a Xiaomi A2, which is OEM locked and which doesn’t boot into Android.

Thank you for your work.

I found this

https://www.freshports.org/devel/android-tools-fastboot/

I downloaded the file (platform_system_core-android-9.0.0_r3.tar.gz) but I have not understood the main rules to use it

Can you help me ?

I have a Mi A1 that is ... unusable
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kslakhani:
thanks for sharing

What happend to your Mi A1?

doest it go to fastboot?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paolocorpo:
Thanks for your reply :)

It is not mine ... but of an user of Italian forum that I am trying to help :)

I have not many details but ... yes it is bootable to fastboot but Miflash fails to flash official stock image

This because very probably it has locked bootloader

So my idea is try to boot to EDL

But unfortunately the procedure that I know uses an adb comand

SO my question is:

Is it possibile to boot into EDL mode starting from fastboot mode ?

How ?

Thanks

Paolo
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kslakhani:
First of all confirm your bootloader is unlock by giving >fastboot oem device-info

First of all confirm your bootloader is unlock by giving >fastboot oem device-info

if bootloader is unlocked you will have outpuut like

then you dont need EDL mode just flash neccessary images like system.img, userdata.img, cache.img, vendor.img from official firmware. Dont flash boot.img It will lock your bootloader If device dosent boot the you have no choice to flash boot.img.

If your BL is loacked then you must follow EDL mode. You cant go to edl mode from fastboot you need to dismantle the device you may follow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXo-7CZzpGM its simple just remove back cover and disconnect battery connector there you will find testpoint [IMG="Mi A1 Test Point"]https://u01.appmifile.com/images/2017/12/01/74634ede-d0c3-46bb-b2dc-68994fde766b.png[/IMG]

Install Qualcomm QDLoader Driver if not installed

then connect your phone with USB-Data cable good quality preffered then short those two points your device will enter in EDL (QDLoader 9008) mode automatically and you will see COM port with number

MiFlash tool will not work here you need QFIL tool to flash Qualcomm device

Hope this helps
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paolocorpo:
I will investigate

At now ... thanks a lot

A doubt (in case the bootloader is unlocked):

is it sufficient to flash only:

system.img, userdata.img, cache.img, vendor.img ??

May I instead use the flash_all.bat ?

EDIT

His bootloader is locked (we have verified with the comand that you have suggested)

So ... Why do you think that it is not possible to boot into EDL mode starting from fastboot mode ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kslakhani:
Its actually vendor specific but most of the latest devices comes with bootloader locked and even disabled EDL mode from fastboot

Usually other partitions dont currupt easily and they are read only raw partition so the cant change until you flash them:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paolocorpo:
My Mi A1 (the same of my friend) has bootloader unlocked

Can this be EDL mode be accessed with a locked bootloader in a Google Pixel device? What about Samsung Knox? Why don't the manufacturers patch the vulnerabilities?

I was searching for a topic to discuss EDL vulnerabilities. This might as well be it.

Today I saw a technician use a combined hardware & software tool that bypasses the locked state of bootloader and flashes a new boot image, it replaces the Google account in the process. The device was a Motorola z2 play updated to the last firmware. I imagine the tool uses EDL mode to perform said operation.

The tool the technician used goes by many names, but it is conventionally called UMT Box

How can I fix it without losing my data or at least make a backup

I have a question. I downloaded an update yesterday for Mi Max 3. The screen stayed black with the MI logo for hours. I tried the following but didn't work:

- Connecting to Mi PC suite, but it isn't recognizing the device.

- Downloaded many drives for the USB, but still the device is not being recognized.

- MiFlash recognize the device, but when I downloaded the Rom (both recovery and nitrogen) it is mentioned can't find file flash all.

- I tried to put some commands such as adb back up, but it informs me no device found.

I want to know what should I do, I don't want to lose the data on the phone.

Tried this method on a recent Motorola Moto G 5G Plus. Bootloader is locked, "OEM Unlock" is disabled in Android system settings, /e/ project custom ROM is installed and won't boot. Recovery is also a /e/ project image and thus not bootable.

Tried "fastboot boot recovery.img" from a stock image, to no avail.

Got a recent fastboot version, copied it to fastboot_edl, patched it to make "fastboot_edl reboot edl" send the command "reboot-edl". The bootloader logs shows "cmd: reboot-edl" briefly, then goes to blackscreen, and without additional input shows the "No OS!" error screen. Keeping the VolDown key pressed sends the phone back to fastboot. Keeping any other key or combination thereof pressed keeps showing the "No OS!" error screen.

It seems like the "reboot-edl" command is recognized (or the phone's fastboot would just send "FAILED" or something of the sort), but somehow fails internally. Am I getting this right?

Is it because the phone was turned off?

Or something needed to be set? Its the factory default charger.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] zimilaci:

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] holz75:
Well, the first thing you'll probably hear around here is never let it discharge all the way to 0% because it's bad for the battery. I'm guessing that, if you did let it go all the way to 0%, it might take a little bit to get going again, so the charging time would indeed be longer.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] zimilaci:
I am not sure why would it be bad for the battery?

Don't worry about that 0% nonesense.

Smartphones are Idiotproof. You can't do anything wrong to damage them with normal usage.

Yes of course it's Bad for battery life (long term) if you drain it to 0% every day but until 4% is completely fine.

Why is it Bad to drain a battery to low? Take a look at the battery Voltage Graph in my Charging Chart. Charging is even more Voltage than discharging. If you use and App to check battery Voltage you will see about 3.7V at 4% and it Drops to 3.6.... 3.5..... 3.4V the closer it gets to 0%

Batteries don't like that.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Alpert3:
OK, quick look.

A Li_ion battery has a life cycles 400 - 500, that means battery can go from 100% to 0% normally 400 - 500 times, after that, battery will start to get problems, e g, you see it's 100% battery but in 30 minutes normal usage it goes to 0%.

If you charge the battery to 100%, then recharge it only if it gets down to 0% every single day, then after one year it's very likely you'll face the battery issues.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Haldi4803:
Yeah.... so if you recharge your phone not when it's at 0% but at 50% you will have around 800-1000 cycles...

AND you charge your phone about twice as much as the other guy who only charges at 0% so in the end you both end up with the same battery capacity after a year xD

P.S 400-500 life cycles means until the battery has 75% of its original capacity left, and not untill it's totally unuseable ;)

Tested on the B06 Firmware. If it works on other Versions too, tell me and ill add it

Hey Guys,

im new to the Axon Elite and was a little upset after a few hours because the volume, the Phone is getting me through my Sennheiser Momentum, is way too low.

So i decided to take a look at the mixer_paths to see which line is responsible for the Volume Boost. And hey, its that simple, nothing compared to the other Phones i had before, where you had to change tons of variables.

Because its so easy, im just providing a guide and not a zip.

First of all:

ROOT is needed.

Open your mixer_paths.xml which can be found in /system/etc ... I use Solidexplorer, but any other Filebrowser should work fine too.

Now search for these lines:

<path name="headphones">

and

<path name="headphones-dolby">

there you find a line called:

<ctl name="HP Out Volume" value="13" />

change it to 20 and test it. if its too low, set it up. ( I use 24 and it really blows up my ears, so caution!)

Do the same for "headphones-dolby" too.

save the file and reboot. Have Fun

PS: im not responsible for breaking your phones or your headphones or even your ears! :)
