Hello peeps,

[MENTION=1662773]mods[/MENTION] will there be any sub-forum for Mi A1...?? i think this would be the 3rd Generation Android one Phone and the first one out of the batch ( considering there will be a HTC U11 Android One phone soon to be launched )

Please create the sub-forums for it. So devs can start discussing and working on TWRP and an official root method. Many Devs are not able to communicate properly due to the lack of a sub-forum for MI A1.

Request you to either create a Android one 3rd generation Cross Device development forum or a specific MI A1 sub forum and kick start the development discussions:fingers-crossed

[General Questions and Answers] PremiumMediocre:
Why is that necessary? I thought that the point of unlocking the bootloader was to make it possible to install a recovery?

Is the recovery installed in this way more limited (part from the bootloader access)?

Would it be impossible to port the room from Lenovo 4 8 plus? The HW is almost the same as far as I can see.

Hey all, a friend of mine's HTC One M9 recently went into bootloop, showing a white screen.

I don't have an image of it, but it looks identically like this:

He said it happened whilst overseas and it tried to update. No matter what I do, or what I press, it always goes back into this mode. Download mode is useless, with no option to reset anything.

Going into recovery mode simply shows a phone with a red warning triangle.

Is there a way that I can fix it? Such as flashing it, without him loosing data? There are tonnes of photos of the phone, none of which have been backed up to the cloud or on a SD card.

Cheers!

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
While writing this response I'm assuming that the picture shows exactly what is shown on your friends phone and not that the screens are only similar.

Chances are high that this is a dead nand caused by the infamous heat of the SD810. The security warning means that the system got erased which is only possible if you manually delete it via a custom recovery or if the nand fails. However, with a locked bootloader the former isn't possible.

The catch is that you can't reflash the system without wiping all personal data on the phone in this state (locked bootloader). You can try flashing a RUU on that phone and it might get revived (c.f. the ReadMe thread for files and instructions). The personal data will be lost, though.

If you want to try deleting the cache via the stock recovery, beforehand, (I doubt that it'll fix the issue) you should take a look at Q12 of the FAQ of the ReadMe thread.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxshabsxx:
What if I were to flash an unlocked bootloader?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
Unlocking the bootloader is only possible if you activated "OEM unlock" in the developer options of your phone's settings. In addition, you erase all personal data by unlocking the bootloader.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxshabsxx:
Thanks for your help. So it appears there's nothing we can do that will, at least, erase all personal data. Great! :(
