[GUIDE][TOOL] Reboot to EDL mode from FASTBOOT! No More "Test Point Method"! [kenzo]

Reboot to EDL mode from FASTBOOT!

No more Test Point Method needed ;)​

Technical Details:

Redmi Note 3 support rebooting to EDL in Android Bootloader aboot module (the "reboot-edl" command) but fastboot utility doesn't recognize "reboot-edl" in the command line and refuses to sent the command to the device. Since FastBoot command protocol is simple and text-based, it is enough to send a packet containing "reboot-edl" text over USB. The simplest way to do that is to patch Windows fastboot.exe file, replacing "reboot-bootloader" text with "reboot-edl". As "reboot-bootloader" string is found in the command line, fastboot.exe sends the same constant string to the device. So if "reboot-bootloader" is replaced with "reboot-edl", you can specify "reboot-edl" in the command line and the same text will be sent to the device.

New Update: Fastboot updated to latest version.

Tutorial:

1. Download the Fastboot_edl-v2.zip from Here.

2. Extract the zip in your desktop

3. Open the folder and double Click on Reboot.bat

4. Reboot your device to Fastboot Mode by pressing

Vol Down + Power button and connect your device with PC and Press Enter.

5. Your Device will be rebooted to EDL!

6. Now flash your Fastboot Rom with Mi Flash Tool to Unbrick your Mi Note 3. :)​

This is AWESOME!! Just tested and worked amazingly.

Thank you!

Edit: the included command prompt didn't work for me though, launched standard and traversed to this folder

This is great

My problem solved

Many thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zarko007:
not working for me...redmi note 3 pro sd, rom 7.2.7.0.0. it says something like "your phone enter edl mode successfully", but it simply restarts and enter Android OS...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] BRoy_98:
Send me your current emmc_appsboot.mbn and I will check what is happening wrong there.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zarko007:
Where to find it?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] BRoy_98:
You can find it in the fastboot rom. Or if you have recovery rom, then go to the firmware-update folder in the zip there you will find it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zarko007:
Maybe stupid question, but wouldn't phone go to edl mode (with red led flashing) before flashing rom and what then mbn file has to do? According to your manual it is the last step?

thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sator02:
Is your device bricked or you want to flash an official miui rom? Since your rom looks like a distributor rom not an official rom.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zarko007:
No, my device is not bricked, it has locked bootloader. I received code from xiaomi to unlocked bootloader but it constantly stops at 50%, and I found out that it can't be unlocked without china dev rom, but no rom can be installed with locked bootloader :confused: I only want to flash an official miui rom to be able to receive updates...Xiaomi really made this too complicated....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sator02:
Don't use this tool if your device is not bricked, your rom is a distributor rom that's why you cannot unlock your device, you have to flash miui rom prior to unlocking, you can do it thru edl mode using adb, search on miui forums and you'll find it.

Edit: check this out: http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] BRoy_98:
If your device is not bricked, then you can reboot to EDL mode from adb. Do this to reboot to edl from adb:

1. Connect your device to PC.

2. Open adb and type: adb devices and press enter to see your device if it is connected properly.

3. When you can see your device ID, type: adb reboot edl and press enter. It will reboot your device to EDL mode.

4. Now flash your rom with Mi Flash.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zarko007:
I have tried it already many Times but no success...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] BRoy_98:
This must be driver problem. Install MI PC suite and it will install all necessary drivers. Then try it again.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiePx3:
Hey guys,

I have a little problem with my new OP2.

I unlocked the bootloader and rooted etc.

I installed Paranoid Android and I wanst sure which kernel works on it.

So I tried flashing one for CM13 and one for OOS3, but both of them wouldnt work.

Now Im trying to get back to stock or atleast flash the boot.img from the Paranoid ROM.

I can boot, access the recovery and bootloader. I flashed different boot.imgs (Stock and Paranoid) and recoverys. But none of them helped.

The touchscreen wont react at all. If I boot, if I am in the recovery. It just wont work. Hardware button seems to be fine though.

Any ideas how to fix that?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitrus-:
Try wiping system partition and flash the PA ROM again (and Gapps of course) and it will restore system and kernel back to PA default.

If touch still doesn't work, then you'll probably have to wipe userdata partition as something you installed with the kernels not supporting other than official latest CM13 sources is messing with your system.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fburgos:
You need to flash full stock using fastboot from unbrick guide.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] restlessgeek:
google megaunbrick guide oneplus2 and follow that!
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxs8007:
didn't got your logic behind flashing custom kernel that too on paranoid android, I can understand that for cm13 as the battery life sucks there but pa easily gives 6+ hrs of sot which any other rom or even a custom kernel can't even come closer to it in my personal experience.

meaning you can try to flash the whole rom through fast boot or use unbrick guide to go full stock.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avrel820:
Hello to all (i have no idea if i am posting this in the right place sorry)

I have recently installed Cyanogenmod 13 on my Asus Zenfone 2 Laser/Selfie (1080p) (Asus-Z00T)

My phone works grate besides the fact that i have root access problems.

First i enabled developer options then enabled root (as now since Cyanogenmod 12 it is hidden) i installed busybox i grant it root access .So far so good nothing unusual i then install clean master then give it root access then when i try to use clean master to stop apps auto starting and i got an error no root access i then installed lucky patcher granted it root access no problem then when i tried patching a app to remove adds i got another root access error.

(I have had problems like this on Cyanogenmod 12)

Now with Cyanogenmod 11 if i get a little root bug i just go to super user app under system settings and delete the app access and then give it new root access again that solves the problem.

IT would seam that since CM12/CM13 there is no superuser app on board and no superuser settings either i have looked everywhere and i just can't find it.

I have the feeling that now root has become just a developer option it is not as good as on Cyanogenmod 11 but i could be wrong.

Could anyone help me please ?? is there a way to fix root access errors ???
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenbo111:
The supersu type settings are in settings /privacy/privacy guard
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raksj60:
Try re-rooting your device, in the worst case, flash stock rom, then flash cyanaogenmod and then root your device.

Hope this solves your problem.

On the fence with rooting but this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hankarun.nightmodewidget would push me over if it works on stock rooted rom. Anyone care to try and reports back?

Thanks!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
It doesn't work. It only dims the screen. Color profile is unchanged. This feature is built into Resurrection Remix (maybe CM13 too, not sure) though.

Also, this app works and will do what you want without root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.ne.hardyinfinity.bluelightfilter.free

Thanks. Bummer, the nightmode widget worked so well with my GN. With it only are red pixels used so resolution wasn't great but night vision was preserved. Kernel dependent unfortunately.

What's the exposure limit on lollipop?

PS: I have more than 6 hours SOT on marshmallow.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajkatiyar07:
It was 45 sec by default and now 30 on MM (Freedcam still offer 45 second exposure on MM :D). well if you are getting 6 hrs SOT on MM then you must have magical tricks to tell us . Why don't you share ?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EPa:
Well, no magic tricks, and I'm surprised reading about other people's SOT of less than 4 hours. Phone is stock. Only things I can say is I have auto brightness, logd disabled, and this 6 hours SOT is mostly Internet browsing, email, tapatalk (so no games).

I have the same problem, but I didn't uninstall the setting, did your Trojan installed random apps too? Like MyApps or something like that?

Seeing the same problem I think the problem is that the device comes with it, but I haven't found anything else to do apart from installing avast to tell me when unknown sources get on to install a random app.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talasa:
It appears to involve installing an apk installer from the Google Play stores (any will do it seems). Then by installing a copy of the Settings.apk.

Neither of which I am able to do as, due to getting rid of settings Google Play won't work. So....

Edit. I managed to get Google Play installed and then installed an APK installer. However installing settings is restricted as security won't let me install unofficial apps. >.>

How do u get rid of pop ups

How do u get rid of them my phone is plaqued with them they are so annoying I didn't even root my phone just done a simple software update thanx
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talasa:
Hi,

What you have here is a virus.... and like me, it's probably embedded in settings. I.e It comes with the device.

There is no way to get rid of those adverts....except...by voiding your warranty. You will need to wipe your device and reinstall a rom, preferably not your original. (That or send it back to Archos). Taking your phone back to the store and demanding a refund is an option before I proceed further and this is the solution I recommend.

Take this moment to back up all your data.

What I did however and what seems to have gotten rid of them is firstly head over to NeedRom (search) and acquire a freely provided Rom of someone else's phone. There are two versions for the Archos Platinum 55 and it will depend on your specific phone.

Now you will need to flash (this will destroy all data on your phone so make sure you get it backed up) your rom. You can use the ADB solution but that couldn't work for me. So I used Fastboot instead, however to use this the rom provided by needrom is in a .pac file format, you need to get the .img file from it. You can do this by loading up the software provided by NeedRom (named FactoryUpload or something like that) load the .pac file and look at the file path locations. The one I checked was for System. I then went to where it said it was, in my case a Temp folder, copied and pasted all the data to somewhere not temp (all the .img files I needed were there).

Then I used Fastboot to flash the rom entirely there are much better Fastboot tutorials out there than I can explain myself. This flash included System, Recovery, Cache and basically everything, however it wouldn't let me do it all at once. I had to use a particular "flag" or "switch" so that it would `sparse` all the files over 250MB (that was the number I chose) and it worked after that.

This is the only way without returning the phone to get rid of the adverts *if* the virus is indeed in Settings. There's no way to remove Settings safely. I tried.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] ChaoticInfinityX:
I get the red text/developer warning "This is a build for development purposes..." between reboots when I see the HTC logo screens. It started halfway into the process of converting my Unlocked HTC 10 to a VZW Variant, but hoped it was just a temporary thing that would go away once I did a factory reset or flashed a new Rom. I've tried doing a few searches while at work, but haven't found any info on a fix specifically for the HTC 10. Fixes I found were for the M9a and earlier, but I figured they wouldn't work for this device anyway.

Does a fix exist or will the red warning haunt my HTC 10 forever?

Thanks.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lidberg:
I ended up hard resetting my device, I'm sorry to say. When I first got my phone, I ran QuickGPS and it downloaded some data. Ever since then, QuickGPS would not work and neither would my GPS. I tried everything I could find, including *gasp* going into the External GPS settings.

After hard resetting, I will not run QuickGPS again. All I did was fire up Windows Live Search and let it find the satellites. It only took a couple of minutes and I was up and running.

That was 3 days ago and my GPS is still working. Any GPS capable app I run takes less than 30 seconds to get a fix, even inside my house. I have not run QuickGPS since then and I don't intend to.

.:Christian:.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dspickle:
How can it work inside your house? I do not think that is even possible. Satellite receivers are line of sight. Try putting a direct TV dish in your house and see what kind of reception you get.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] marm0lade:
Yea I was doubting that too. GPS doesn't work in my house, as soon as I step outside, boom, its on.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Pops_G:
It works indoors at my place. Its not line of sight, otherwise even the phone case would be blocking the receiver. However it works much better outdoors. I think the reason is the radio signal from the satellites is very weak and doesn't penetrate obstacles very well.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lidberg:
I have a few windows in my house and I get enough of a signal (usually only 3 or so birds) to track my location. It's good enough to get an initial fix.

.:Christian:.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ritterkeks:
sad to hear that it doesnt work for some people.

ive used it from the beginning and it works fine. no problems up to now.

"thats not even possible"

cmon... i was surprised, too. but it works in my room (under the roof)

quality is weak (1-2 satellites) but it can get your position.

of course radio or gsm both have more sending strength but they also work in your house, dont they?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cudo:
hi, hmm.. i have got no problems with GPS at all and to be precize i was really suprised with the speed lock. i instaled tomtom fired it up and then set it up with other NMEA GPS receiver and my device found the signal in 5 seconds !!! and i got 5 satelites in range ...aha im in my house ..maybe cos i am a student and the glazing is single :)
