[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] kazumamon:
Hello xdadevelopers users,

before 3 months I've bought my XIAOMI REDMI 4 PRIME with Global ROM from

Geekbuying

.

Before 1 week I've wanted to root my device and flash ressurection remix.

So I've followed all tutorials and installed all correct:

1. Backuped all my things (First backuped in the Settings & then pulled everything via MTP on my Computer)

2. Unlocked my Device (But my Phone hasn't got wiped after this like I thought)

3. Installed TWRP and Magisk

4. Booted into TWRP

5. Put "iosfirmware for 7.1 Nougat + RR Rom + Gapps Nano" into my root folder

6. Wiped all except Internal Storage

7. Flashed everything in this order: "iosfirmware --> RR ROM --> Gapps"

8. Wiped Cache and reboot

After this procedure my phone wont turn on and stayed on black screen.

I couldn't enter fastboot or the mode to enter download mode.

But the devices still showes up in Device Manager as Qualcomm 9003 Device.

So I stay chilled and searched online for Global Stock ROM & tools and videos that would help me to unbrick my device.

I've tested a lot, like MiFlash method, Testpoint method (Yes I also opened my device & also holding power + volume up & spamming volume down.)

All this things failed an the phone stayed black and MiFlash just sayed "cannot receive hello packet".

Now I am curios is the situation lost?

I've also read some articles that geekbuying is giving out fake roms that just show the user that the device is unlocked even if it's not.

Could that be true are there any other possible things I can do or can I get my device repaired for free from geekbuying.

Hope for some answers also if I am already in the mood to buy a new phone.

Greetings kazumamon
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] the shean:
Maybe you shouldn’t have flashed iosfirmware at all. Probably isn’t supported on Redmi 4 prime. Try uninstalling it, or booting into twrp and do a full wipe ( system, cache, data) then install RR and Gapps only.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] Oceansoul91:
mate, did u solved somehow? I think I have a similar problem. I was on RR and after I power off my phone now it doesn't power on anymore
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] kazumamon:
Sorry for that late answer really need to switch my mail.

No I sold my bricked device for 50 bucks and bought a new phone out of frustration.

I have the Acer Iconia A1-830, which also utilizes the droidboot bootloader but fastboot works fine (with some minor tweaks, you can even use adb!). Can you try to run adb reboot fastboot when in adb mode and see what that does? Good luck :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishphish:
I can boot in to adb and fastboot fine, i just can't run any commands in fastboot through usb.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishphish:
i'll try to be more succinct, as i still need some help if possible

I can ping my device in fastboot if i set host to 192.168.42.1 and my pc to 192.168.43.2, as outline in the pdf above, but that's it. No other fastboot commands register with the device. I can only use ethernet, per the device, and need some idea of what i need to do to be able to send fastboot commands.

Anyone? Pretty pretty please??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramiabouzahra:
I want to try and help you, however I don't have all the time in the world. What is it that you are trying to do with the device? Flash a rom or unbrick? Or is it just a "I wanna see if it's working" thing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishphish:

[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
It has had its updates for 2 yrs..

Release Date: November 2015
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
Oreo came out right at the 2 year mark so it would be unfair to complain: HTC promised 2 years of support and they delivered 2 years of support. Of course we would all like to have Oreo and 5 years of support, but considering the low volumes of A9s sold and the dire financial results of HTC lately they are not in a position to be generous with their R&D dollars. Also they sold off a chunk of their engineering department to Google for future Pixel development so are not likely to have any excess engineering resources.

Personally I like the A9 a lot, and have no complaints about HTC. That said, I will be very reluctant to buy a phone again that I can't easily change the battery; there is just too great a chance of wrecking the display while opening the A9. The good news is that with Oreo, Google is introducing the Treble technology. This should allow any Treble-equipped Android phone to be kept updated directly from Google without having to get the manufacturer or network to do any work. That is a big win, and i will have it in the next phone.

[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
The takeaway from the security update table is that all Android phones from established manufacturers have pitiful support records, with the exception of Google itself. HTC isn't much different than others, including especially Samsung. The other guys at the top of the Android section don't have a track record, just promises - not worth a tinker's damn IMHO. But this is why Google has introduced Treble, which assures us that any Treble-supporting phone can at least run the current AOSP ROM. Basically Google took away the ability for manufacturers and network operators to mess with the kernel and system, and provides Google the ability to directly download updates to the phones without manufacturers or operators involvement. Which is why I said earlier that the next phone I buy WILL have Treble - others need not apply.

Those of you upset with HTC may not have experienced the (lack of) love from Samsung. I have, and it was not pretty. I spent $400 on a newly released Note 8.0 tablet, with Android 4.2.2. They provided updates through 4.4.2 and then quit - long before they stopped selling the device. They also were very late on releasing the kernel source, and apparently there were issues with that. And many features were supported with proprietary binaries. It pretty much guaranteed that the devs would have a hard time and move on to other things. Samsung wants our devices to be obsolete as soon as possible and will stop at nothing to make it happen. I want them to be obsolete...

Really the only greener grass than HTC is over at Google, and HTC had a lot to do with that. Or go with Apple.

I read in another thread that on the Pixel 2 immersive mode disables the assistant "squeeze" feature. I also had problems with the screen being black and unresponsive on wakeup. Hopefully these Pixel 2 quirks can be solved. I think the nav bar in 8.0 is buggy in general, sometimes the nav bar refuses to go away when videos are in full screen.

Hi all with request for help,

I am trying to unlock bootloader for 4x. I have created and activated MI-Account, downloaded and installed Unlock tool and set device in fastboot. Device is positively recognized by windows with the command "fastboot devices".

But when I start the unlock tool it checks for permissions and I get the message: "your device is not supported by mi unlock" and then it sends me back to the

unlock tool download

page :confused: instead of to the application page where I can put in my details. Cache of chrome browser emptied various times - no success. It´s catch 22.

I have version MIUI 8 global. I have also heard that I need to flash the Chinese/english version to unlock.

If anyone has an idea for the correct way to go from here a competent feedbck would be greatly appreciated

Hey, before I go ahead with the reason for this thread: I do apologize but I was not sure where this thread should be posted so I posted in the Nexus 7 General. If this is the incorrect place and I would appreciate if someone could move the thread for me. Thanks!

I understand the latest Andriod Verison for the Nexus 7 2012 model is 5.1.1 and no "official" Marshmallow version. From what I seen a Google Developer posted a thread sometime ago for the "unofficial" version but I do not know what I am doing to upgrade the version. Are there any step by step instructions guide for the unofficial version?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] php111:
I found some instructions and I took a look into it but the instructions are not for the Nexus 7 model I have. The instructions I found are assuming there is an SD card than one can do this in recovery but that option is not in recovery because lack of the SD card slot. Maybe this has to be done via fastboot? If so, than why are there instructions to do this in recovery on the 2012 model? First, there is no SD card slot. Second, the option to install from SD in recovery is not there. I have the 2012 model, it is WiFi only no SIM/no SD.

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] bi11ie:
!!! I apologize if this is the wrong thread to ask for help and kindly request that a moderator move it, because I don't know where it's supposed to go and my brain is in panic mode right now, thank you. !!!

So, here goes:

DEVICE INFO: SM-J510FN, TWRP, stock ROM, encrypted data partition

ISSUE: Phone does not boot. Powering it on makes it boot to recovery. Selecting "Reboot to system" from inside the recovery, also boots back to recovery. Cannot mount data partition as it is encrypted (but it doesn't at least ask for PIN or anything, just cannot select /data in mount).

HOW IT HAPPENED:

1. I encrypted the phone while it still wasn't rooted.

2. I flashed TWRP (via Odin) and SuperSU (via TWRP)

3. Phone booted to system normally, everything OK. Root access, all good.

4. Reboot to TWRP, flashed some blacked out Google Apps (Team Blackout .zip files). I got no error message, just "cannot mount data" at some points.

5. I selected "wipe cache and dalvik cache"

6. Reboot to system

Reboot to system doesn't work. It boots back into TWRP!

Now I don't know if the flashing of the .zip apps or if the wiping bricked the phone as I don't have that deep of an understanding of how it works. If you can enlighten me , I'd really appreciate it.

FEAR: That the phone is bricked forever and that I won't be able to format the data partition as I cannot even mount it and TWRP needs it mounted in order to wipe it (as far as I know). In short, phone ruined forever because of my stupidity.

HOPE: That someone will tell me a way to re-flash the stock firmware or any ROM so that I get the phone to boot up normally.

I really really need help ASAP because this phone does not even belong to me. My employer gave it to me as a gift, provided I use it for work. That's the reason it's encrypted, he wanted it encrypted in case it gets stolen. Now you're probably thinking "why would you root a company phone??" Well it's not a company phone, it is my main phone, my daily driver. It was given to me by my employer, who said I can do whatever I want with it, as long as it remains functional (at work I use it simply for phone calls, WhatsApp, Skype, mail etc)

I assume that I won't sleep much tonight, will try everything to get the phone to boot. But first I'm going to wait for any piece of advice!

Thank you in advance for any feedback...
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] capsLock1337:
Can you get into download mode?

If so, you should flash your stock firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] pando504:
Yes if you boot into download mode you can flash stock rom and all will be good
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] bi11ie:
Hello, thanks for the replies.

Yes, download mode works. I will download the stock firmware and flash it via Odin then, yes?

But what happens with the encryption then? Will it remain in place and I will just have to enter my pin to boot as usual?

Can you please explain to me why it does not boot now..? As far as I understand, the boot partition couldn't have been damaged. Aka, stock ROM still in place, only difference is it's rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] capsLock1337:
Not sure bout the encryption, if you lose it, you can set it up again.

Something went wrong when you tried to flash the blacked out google apps, I honestly don't have a clue.

Good luck :p
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] bi11ie:
Haha I really don't care about the encryption at all! :D I'm just afraid it is going to interfere somehow but hopefully not.

I'm waiting for the stock firmware to get downloaded from sammobile. I know, I know, I should have done that first before anything else, but I was in such a hurry and I thought "OK, this is routine by now, nothing can go wrong", somehow completely forgetting about the encryption. Oops. In any case, I will post the results here later and will be VERY VERY prepared and organized in the future :'(
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] capsLock1337:
How did it go?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] bi11ie:
I'm flashing right now :) Let's see if it boots...

*fingers crossed*
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] bi11ie:
Case solved

Ahh turns out I almost freaked out for nothing! All good! So, for documentation purposes:

1. I flashed stock firmware through Odin

2. Boot up started normally ("firmware update") - got asked for encryption pin!

3. Decryption took a long time, system booted normally - ALL DATA INTACT :)

4. No root and No recovery (not even stock recovery)

5. I flashed TWRP through Odin and SuperSU.zip

6. Phone booted normally, TWRP there, SuperSU app there.

The only change is that the bloatware I removed is back :P

I'm so glad it was nothing after all! I was honestly SO scared that I bricked it ^^;

Thanks and sorry!

Thanks a lot for the useful hint!

I also checked my /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so (directly from my phone) with virustotal.com: 18 of 59 engines detect a virus of the Triada class.

Then I checked the same file from the Speed 7 system image (from 2016-09-21). The file on the ROM image and on my phone are identical, so it has not been modified "from outside" (maybe by another malware). So the virus is definitely pre-installed on the latest ROM image on a system library level (which makes things even worse)!

BTW: which virus scanner did you use to get your results? None of the ones I used up to now detected the problem in libandroid_runstime.so
