no edl :/

guys, can't get to edl in anyway :(

deepflash cable not working. testpin near battery not working. testpin that is one and a bit up plus shield to the right- not working. got diagnostics 900e still. stuck at boot loop, MI appears on a second and blank screen. That happend after i tried to flash throught TWRP.

any ideas? fastboot working , but that gives nothing since locked bootloader i think ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] Mactley:
Hi all,

issue: xiaomi unlocker stuck at 50% (presumably due to wrong version)

issue2: EDL mode is not accessible, so no other version can be flashed

solution: log in to the xiaomi unlocker tool using your xiaomi account number, rather than phone number or email address. The account number can be found by logging in through the browser and looking at your account details. This worked for me and allowed the unlocker to reach 100% even though I was running a global stable 8.2 rom. Then proceed to use fastboot/adb to flash TWRP, no EDL necessary. Hope this works for you.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] dels07:
What are you trying to achieve?

You want to use official MIUI? Use fastboot and miflash, it works even your bootloader is locked.

You already unlocked I assumed, since you can use TWRP, then you can boot to twrp and flash rom etc or maybe yoy want to flash twrp on locked bootloader? In that case use official unlock method and login in mi unlocker using your account number.

After a while I managed to revive phone. But now when I want to go into "DOWNLOAD" mode to flash Global stable official rom, the phone simply reboots.

(I can't open separate topic, sorry, I thought I will be able as I wrote)

Can you please share how?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] li70:
Same situation here :(

Tried test point and cable and no solution, screen goes black when i power on and only can go to fastboot with phone locked.

Installed Qualcomm 9008 manually but still cant flash with flashtools.

I dont know anymore what to do.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] ardrift:
I have also bricked my phone in january, but I could solve the problem without disassembling the phone, with a deepflash cable. I don't know if you have already tried it this way, but in my case it solved the problem, because for the first time I didn't do it like this. Here are the instructions which helped me. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70009016&postcount=13

allready tested :( i have the 9008 driver i can see it but when i try to flash it says :

[7,03 COM10]:cannot receive hello packet,MiFlash is trying to reset status!

[7,04 COM10]:eek:bject reference not set to an instance of an object.

already tried all flashtools and no solution :( tried another pc with windows 7 64bits and same thing.

even made a flashcable i have the 9008 driver and same error.

tried a lot... :(

i dont need to do the testpoint to get the 9008 just take all battery cable and it installs 9008.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] SAFI_AFRIDI:
Ok Listen Carefully and Follow as i say.

1: Reboot Device while Pressing Vol(+) and Power but when the Device Vibrate then Release the Vol(+) key and Then Press and Hold Vol(-) Key. this will take the Device to a Recovery mode.

2: Then Download Chinese Mi Pc suit and then flash it with the recovery. it will work that way. and i will try to upload a video for this but first i will check that i have one or not. and sorry i am not often online on XDA but i am online on FB often.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] li70:
Thanks for your reply,

Unfortunately i don't have recovery mode, i can only get to fastboot (Locked), and when i restart i have black screen and logo miui shows and desapears very quickly.

Any other solution? :(
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] SAFI_AFRIDI:
Then when you start Device in EDL mode then Use Old Mi Flash Tools. and use it, for me its work. or try to follow the following method.

Do you disabled the Driver Signature in the Windows 7 or not ? and i will upload the old version of the Mi Flasher for you. and also Give a try on QFIL Software, but before watch a tutorial.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] li70:
Hi again,

Yes I did disabled the Driver signature in windows 7 and 10 64 bits.

Yeah already tried QFIL gave me an error SAHARA FAIL ERROR, try to solve this error with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7Hf_eMICTs but didn't work, I’m starting to think its lost already, its like it doesn’t recognize the device just don’t get it.

I thought when driver 9008 was installed with no error I could flash with no error but isn’t the case. :(
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] li70:
I found this tutorial from Kunal Barchha http://www.droidsavvy.com/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/

I think it's my only solution and maybe for some other people too, its kinda hard job but i fount no other solution.

No solution until now... cant detect mmc on 9008 what the hell...

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabe0334:
I managed to get TWRP installed as well as root but I can't find any roms, mods, or anything. I'd be happy with a debloated/deodexed stock rom at this point and something I can tinker with. I'd like to find a great kernel too but I've searched every board to no luck. I can't seem to find anything possible through ODIN or TWRP flashing at this point. Am I missing something, is there anything I can do from here. I've noticed a lot for different variants but I assumed it was common sense not to use those.

Any help is appreciated!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
There isn't really anything for your specific device to be honest mate. If not on here I doubt you will find anything. I'll keep my eyes open for you!
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arafat_mw:
I don't know if others are facing the similar problem but it has turned my life into hell after the new update. I will list down the issues on ALL ROMS after the new OOS 3 update with bootloader in my device.

I had issue in accessing storage, which means gallery, file explorer or literally any app crashes when I try to access from the storage, be it internal or external sd card.

Couldn't use the latest snapchat at all, can't post in story, can't save any snap, can't upload from camera roll. It was just a dead end. However I could only post into story with a older Snapchat version, still due to storage access issue, I couldn't save or upload from Camera Roll

Facebook picture upload would ocassionally crash the app.

Couldn't take more than 1 picture in latest youcam app, storage issue would crash the app.

Gallery apps fail to generate thumbnail previews.

All these above problems caused permanent storage access unavailability until I rebooted device.

Need to charge my device twice as Battery runs faster than Usain Bolt.

So finally after a lot of tingling, I finally downgraded my device to OOS 2.1.3 with TWRP 2.8.7. Trust me it's very stable, bug free and battery friendly. Though I miss the new security patches features and snappy feel from Android 6 & 7.

The above problems are not happening in 2.1.3. I can use latest snapchat, youcam & facebook without any issue at all. Is there any way to prevent these issues on new Android OS in my device ? I believe it's not a device issue as 2.1.3 is running very stable and bug less.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exodusche:
Never had any of those issues on OOS 3 update. Think you might of gone wrong somewhere maybe.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arafat_mw:
I am really eager to find that out. I have almost tried every ROM on the new bootloader. Except MOOS 2.0 or something, each and every ROM had this bug, even official OOS 3.1.4. Any idea what might went wrong ? The bugs are not reproducing in OOS 2.1.3 though. Which makes me believe that my device is ok.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exodusche:
Think I figured it out for you. You are on really old OOS2 build you need to flash 2.2.3 before you update to OOS3. It was made for the update to MM.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kéno40:
Are you sure you gave the good permission. On MM, when you first launch an app, it should ask you for it. Maybe a bug appear at one point.

You should go to menu settings / app / 3 dots menu at the top right an reset app prefs.

Then re open app one by one.

You can try first without your SD inside to see if it happens again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] hoangtuhatde:
OK, I know this is an old issue, however after a while, I just want to check if there are any fixes/updates available.

For those who don't know what the issue is, always on display does not work with clear view cover, it justs show some ugly screen and then goes off.

My questions are, up to now:

- Is there any better workaround than removing the magnet?

- Since the Nougat beta has been over (and it will become official soon), was anyone on the beta program? Does it fix this old issue?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] ivarme:
Hello everybody,

I got new R1 HD which came with 6.1 firmware and tries to download 7.4.2.

Can you please tell where zip file with firmware is located?

I checked /Android/com.fota.adups folders during download but file is not there.

Right now download is at ~50% completed.

Should I wait for download to complete?

I already checked this thread https://xdaforums.com/r1-hd/help/folder-update-downloaded-to-t3511204

It refers to another thread with URL link with zip file but it is for OEM variant and I have Prime version.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
I know I saw a link in the forum for both sock oem and prime versions posted. Look in the guides section, then in the index thread. But if you want to stay stock, just wait for the download.

Oem can be installed on prime. If this is what you want to do, it is easier to do it before updating, that way you can do it without messing up the preloader and lk
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yaconsult:
Never apply the downloaded update if you want to be able to do things like get root and flash roms. Install the SAFE versions of the updates that have been modified instead.

I suggest you read all the way through this thread: https://xdaforums.com/r1-hd/development/prime-stock-rom-6-5-flashed-via-twrp-t3455532 You can flash either the prime or non-prime version depending on whether you want to have the prime apps or not.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] ivarme:
I found this link but not on forums and it is for 8GB model:

http://hwfotadown.mayitek.com/ota/r....2_GENERIC_6.0_20161109-13431478711915353.zip

I tired to modify it for 16GB model but modified link does not work.

Actually all links posted in forums are for 8GB model and looks like people use them for 16GB R0030UU model. Is this right?

Also all these links are OTA not OOB firmwares.

In case I put modified firmware on this device it would be nice to have OOB firmware if needed to restore to original factory state.

Found only one thread https://xdaforums.com/r1-hd/how-to/guide-convert-to-prime-rollback-ota-t3432499 with OOB firmwares but these are not original factory OOBs, they have only 3 partitions to restore, these are probably pulled from device.

So I guess once I complete above thread to mod device there is no way to OEM relock device or full factory restore of all partitions?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
well , yes you can return to factory (out of box) condition. But only with pulled from device images. I made backups of my phone on day one, when i opened the box. If you want to be able to return to "clean slate" you can use some ones pulled images or make your own.

manually enter scatter information into sp flash tool on read back tab

or

use miricle box (little difficult to set up drivers)

or

if rooted and ok with a rooted backup use dd in adb shell
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] ivarme:
Thank you Mrmazak.

Would be possible to mount 6.1 system.img on Linux PC, modify it, remove Amazon apps and flash it back with spft?

I would rather go my own way to mod device and upgrade to my own modified 7.4.2. For example both BLU firmwares and modded zip ROMs found on forums have Baidu_Location.apk which I presume sends location data to China?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fxsunny:
noob question...i managed to copy the kaisertweak.exe to \My Documents\Personal by just browsing to it and doing a 'Save As'. However, this doesn't seem to work for the XML...it wants to display it in the browser. I've tried renaming the xml file with a .dat extension, an .exe extension and without an extension...but it won't let me download the file. What's the best way to get the xml file from the web (http://www.fxnexus.com/storage/kaiser/kaisertweak.xml) to my device?

(I don't want to use an intermediary PC to transfer files.)

thx, fxs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NguyenHuu:
all you got to do is in your browser hit FILE > save page as. select only save xml, not full page. if that dont work, then just go here and download the ZIP file that contains both the new kaisertweak exe and xml files.

http://www.jongma.org/KaiserTweak/KaiserTweak.zip
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fxsunny:
On IE ...on my device?? I don't have a File Menu option!

Once I load the xml file within IE...all I have at the bottom is a 'Back' menu option, and a 'Menu' menu option. 'Menu' has Edit, View, Tools etc...but no 'File'.

I tried doing a Edit --> Select All --> Copy and then, went into Word Mobile to paste it all and save as text...but then, I'm left with a '.txt' file that I cannot rename to '.xml'.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NguyenHuu:
do it on your PC not in the WM. if you insist on using your device to dl, then i suggest installing a unzipper. then you can just download that kaiser tweak zip file to your phone. unzip it on the phone and you got both the exe and xml right on the phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] heyjoel:
Can't install Kaisertweak on AT&T Tilt

I've tried installing this two ways:

1. On my PC: when I click the .exe file, I get the message: "KaiserTweak.exe is not a valid Win32 application."

2. On my Tilt: when I click on the .zip file, it shows KaiserTweak.exe and KaiserTweak.xml, but the latter file has the Opera browser icon next to it and the description "Unknown Type." When I tap on KaiserTweak.exe, I get the message: "Unable to open file \Windows\-IA Zip Temporary Files\KaiserTweak.xml". Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption. Press Cancel to kill the program." When I press OK, nothing happens: I'm brought back to the display of the .exe and .xml files.

I'm assuming the program is not installing, and that I'll know that the installation was successful when I see KaiserTweak when I select Start/Programs.

Thanks.

So with the help of a wonderful man named [MENTION=2109949]kryz[/MENTION] I was able to dump our init file to him and he is going to be able to setup root for us! This was a lot off help from the DirtyCow threads and the universal utility of it. Also the thread [MENTION=7799533]abine45[/MENTION] made regarding a temp root shell which gave me just the little bit of extra permissions I needed in order to be able to dump our file and get it to him. But seriously [MENTION=2109949]kryz[/MENTION] is the **** and you should buy him a coffee even before this comes out just for the hard work he has put into it thus far. Hang in there gang.

Trust me I'm as eager as you are. [MENTION=2750485]Haxcid[/MENTION] I'm not entirely sure but I bet people will try it ;) But the jist of it is, if I was able to get the DirtySanta exploit to give me temp root, and the DirtyCow exploit is 100% compatible with my firmware then I'm pretty sure it should work for the updates THAT ARE OUT RIGHT NOW. I have no clue about the ones to come. I can guarantee they will patch dirtycow at some point.
