I was having the exact same issue as OP. I wound up fixing it by entering fastboot and making it display barcodes until the battery died. Then I put a rubber band over the power button so the red led would blink (I wanted to completely drain the battery). When it stopped blinking, I hooked my dead phone up to my PC via a USB 3 port and held Power + vol down to boot into fastboot (the battery was still too low for the phone to boot normally -- it would just show the battery icon). Surprisingly, my PC recognized my phone (made the little USB sound) and I was able to fastboot flash-all the newest factory image on it!! No toolkits required!

I'm so happy because this was a last ditch effort before I sent my original phone back to google and would have to live with the RMA they sent me which could not be bootloader unlocked (this is a whole other issue!)

I hope this helps!

EDIT: Info I provided in a PM

Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of the process... I didn't want to push my luck and things are working now. But The photo I've attached was exactly what I was seeing except I was on the December update (Now I'm on the January update) ... and:

UFS: 128 GB Hynix

DRAM: 4096MB Micron LPDDR4

Device State: unlocked (I had been unlocked since April 2018)

Until I had entirely drained my battery, I couldn't do anything. Download mode and recovery mode were impossible to access. I forgot the specific error, but it was the same as a lot of other people who have been having this problem.

The only thing I could do was to restart bootloader, which removed the error message until I tried to do anything. I couldn't boot at all or do anything conducive to fixing my phone until I drained the battery entirely. I couldn't get any PCs to even acknowledge the existance of my phone until after the battery was drained.

Keep in mind, I NEVER got my RMA phone to work. I was only able to fix my original NEW phone that I had purchased directly from google.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Dajax2:
This is the correct resolution to this issue.

I had the same issue, no usb in bootloader. I drained the phone and rebooted into the Bootloader flash A and B side bootloader the Aug 2018 (previously working for me) and A and B side Radio, as well as the System image. After that everything booted fine.

Attempted to install the January update the same way and it worked as well.

Seems like they messed up A and B side flashing

My steps::: For Lurkers having this issue.

1. Drain battery DEAD!

2. Boot Bootloader (Vol Down + Power)

3. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-walleye-mw8998-002.0073.02.img (or whatever image)

3. fastboot set_active b (opposite of the one on screen)

4. fastboot reboot-bootloader

5. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-walleye-mw8998-002.0073.02.img (or whatever image) (Again)

6. fastboot reboot-bootloader

7. fastboot flash radio radio-walleye-g8998-00253-1809191716.img (or whatever image)

8. fastboot set_active a (opposite of the one on screen)

9. fastboot reboot-bootloader

10. fastboot flash radio radio-walleye-g8998-00253-1809191716.img (or whatever image)

11. fastboot reboot-bootloader

12. fastboot update image-walleye-pq1a.190105.004.zip (or whatever image)

Phone boots properly, and is updated.

I just received my 4th RMA and the bootloader wasn't able to unlock. So to my surprise Google is giving me a full refund? I purchased my Pixel 2 back in Nov 2017 ?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] LinRo:
[MENTION=9036846]Dajax2[/MENTION] Super new to this and it may be a total waste since my bootloader screen says "Device State: locked" but in trying to flash or even sideload ota, the command returns "error: cannot load (file location/name): no such file or directory found". Again, total noob and I don't even know if I'm supposed to unzip the folder or not but have tried both ways with the same error.

It returns the serial number for fastboot devices but nothing for adb devices. I obviously didn't have OEM or USB debugging enabled prior. Hoping I can at least get in to retrieve data before giving up all hope :/
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] dianea:
Solved. Enter barcode mode. In this screen, check for devices from adb or fastboot. It should be there. You are now able to switch slots and do all the fastboot things.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] johnlgalt:
Great workaround that I would never have thought - good info here, thanks everyone!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mikebeatrice:
Edit - My phone wasn't detected when on the barcode screen, just like from the main bootloader screen.

HOWEVER... to my surprise.. the above method of draining the battery completely to 0% actually worked. I'm a little dumbfounded why this allowed the bootloader to connect via fastboot again, but it did. I was able to flash the latest factory image (without wipe) and boot back up like nothing ever happened. Thank you so much for the tip. I passed this along to Google support and they also said they appreciate the troubleshooting and asked me to just send back the replacement phone with the RMA package/label.

I never see a stock kernel that allows overclocking.

With all due respect, but why do you want to overclock moto z play? Overclock destroys the device. And the Moto Z Play works good. in my opnion overclocking is unnecessary.

[Android Auto General] karagiozhs:
Dear all,

I own a fresh Kia C'eed with a fully functioning (LCD display) Head Unit and support both for Android and Apple phones.

I am trying to connect my (relatively new) Xiaomi Redmi 4X to it. Everything else works (e.g. Bluetooth connection), EXCEPT the Android Auto feature.

Specifically, when I connect it via USB cable it briefly shows that it tries to connect and then reverts to charging mode.

Moreover, I see from Google Play that my phone is not compatible with Android Auto, which I think is the main problem.

My phone's specs are:

- Android Version: 7.1.2 N2G47H

- MIUI Version: MIUI Global 9.1 | Stable [9.1.1.0 (NAMMIEI)]

It supports over the air updates (and has done some already) and - based on what I read in the forum - people have made Android Auto work with the Xiaomi Global ROM.

QUESTIONS:

Shouldn't then my phone work ok?

If not, how could I fix this, save for flashing my ROM?

If all else fails, is there some alternative app that mirrors Android phones on a car Head Unit?

Thank you in advance for your time.
[Android Auto General] karagiozhs:
Am answering my own query for the record here:

It turns out Xiaomi Redmi 4X _does_ support Android Auto. It was simply not supported in my country. In such a case, simply download the apk from a mirror site (e.g. apkmirror) and install it.

Then all will work well with the car.

In case of connection issues (a) reboot your phone, (b) make sure you have a data connection active (for some maybe needed updates) and (c) replace the USB cable if all else fails.

Then, all works like a charm.

cheers!
[Android Auto General] Miguelxpt:
Auto Android in redmi4x

Hi, thanks for your post. I have the same problem you had. Is there any way you could help me with details on how to download the apk and how to install it? Thanks in advance
[Android Auto General] karagiozhs:
As mentioned in my original post, you can e.g. go to: h**ps://***.apkmirror.com, find and download the latest APK for Android Auto and install it. That's all.
[Android Auto General] Mikhej:
I have a problem to establish a USB connection between my KIA Cerato head unit and Xiaomi A1 and A2 phones.

The phones are not recognised, which means that Android Auto is not working on the car's LCD screen.

Bluetooth connection works just fine, so Phone and Music can be played via KIA Entertainment unit.

In the same time Nokia G20 connects seamlessly with Android Auto working properly.

Is there any workaround for Xiaomi phones?

I can't seem to find a n answer and I have looked.....

Does it only show 80% when in fact it is charging to 110%?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Team DevDigitel:
didnt look that hard.. in samfail forum page alone this very exact question is asked 100 times.

and answered just as many times. in the sake of not just being a ahole, no.

It only will charge to 80% capacity true charge. so 2800mah vs 3100 being full charged. This is not a skewed % but a actual limit on amount of mah in battery.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] cloney:
Hello, I have a TMO Note 8 which I have unlocked from Tmobile. I flashed the firmware and carrier to VZW, bought a Straight talk Verizon sim card and service plan but i cannot get any data to activate. I receive the sim saying its active but no data is going through. I cannot change the APN also as it is greyed out. I used shortcut master but will not let me go into apn option to change. Thinking that this is the VZW firmware, i flashed the unlocked XAA but the same problem still persists.

Does anyone have experience in getting Verizon Sim straight talk working on a VZW flashed TMO note 8? I called in and straight talk said they could not add my IMEI for some reason and it has to do with verizon. Im out of ideas. I ported to number to an ATT sim and it works fine with LTE... any help would be greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
When you flash different carrier firmware i believe you still need to change the CSC, the official way with the system app. This factory resets and wipes the phone.

Did you do that yet?

I followed the changing firmware and did change the CSC. It was VZW/VZW/TMB after the first flash. then did XAA for unlock

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tretayuga:
Hi,

Messed up badly :( Furious that ZTE made the phone incompatible with Daydream, decided to root the device. Tried various ROMs, but could never get the modem to work in the UK. Eventually tried to reinstall Chinese stock ROM and, to my surprise, the modem still didn't work. Attempted to restore the modem files from TWRP backup and bricked the phone completely. Can only boot into Chinese recovery where only ADB sideload enables the phone to be seen by Windows as Android ADB Interface. EDL mode cannot be seen and Axon7toolkit cannot see the phone even in ADB sideload mode. Attempts to update software result in this message: Package expects build fingerprint of ZTE/P996A03/ailsa_ii:6.0.1/MMB29M/20161027.021856:user/release-keys or ZTE/P996A03/ailsa_ii:7.1.1/NMF26F/20170224.135053:user/release-keys ; this device has ZTE/P996A03/ailsa_ii:7.1.1/NMF26V/20170912.013327:user/release-keys. Most likely, updates won't work anyway, because when the phone was running, updates resulted in a mismatch. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
You messed up real bad. I assume you forgot to flash the modem files when you flashed the custom ROMs?

EDL mode cannot be seen? What do you mean by that? Keep the Device Manager open, phone disconnected; then hold both volume buttons, wait 5 seconds, connect the USB cable while you are holding them, and wait 3 seconds more before releasing them. The device manager should refresh.

The phone should appear under Ports (COM & LPT) or under USB devices as QUSB_BULK. If it is under USB devices you have to right click on it, Uninstall -> Delete driver software. After that hold all 3 buttons for a long time (both volume buttons and power) and device manager should refresh itself. It should install the Qualcomm driver then. If the driver is ZTE handset diagnostic interface, you'll have to disassemble the phone
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tretayuga:
Thanks. The phone is listed as ZTE Handset Diagnostic Interface(DFU) (COM10) in Ports. It is listed as Unknown USB Device in USB Controllers and following the procedure you described doesn't install the Qualcomm driver. I take it, then, that an engineer would have to disassemble the phone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Or you. Follow the 4th category brick repair manual. I'm just rewriting it but it'll take time

Where are you getting adb sideload from?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tretayuga:
Well, with your help I may snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. I'll ask one of the local engineers to dismantle the phone according to your guide and we'll see what we can do. The adb sideload screen is in this photo.

Thanks again.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
You still have one other option though. May save you.

Do you have an SD card? If not, get at least a 4 GB one (or one with 3gb free), download an official A2017 update package, unzip it and put the update.zip in the sd card. (If you get a bunch of folders instead of a file called update.zip just take the original zip and put it in the SD).

after that, put it in the sd card and select the option that says 'sd'.

It may work. Right now it's your best shot at not taking it apart
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tretayuga:
That's forbidden. When I've tried to update from the SD card using that option, I get a message saying I don't have permission to update from the SD card. I will, however, try again because you've mentioned some things that are slight variations on what I've done before.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Yeah, it's possible. But I have one more idea. Can you try one other thing?

There's a way to get to EDL if you have only DFU mode, which is by getting adb (not adb sideload, just normal adb) and issuing "adb reboot edl". If you can get adb (i think you may have adb from the main recovery screen) then you can get to EDL and flash stuff with MiFlash. Try to issue 'adb reboot edl' when you are on the main screen of the recovery mode.

The other way, which might work on your state, is turning the phone off and holding volume down + power. It might open FTM mode (it's a white rectangle in the middle of the screen with the words FTM written on it, can't miss it). If you get there just issue 'adb reboot edl' and flash with MiFlash
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tretayuga:
Thanks, but I've already tried it. The phone only communicates with the computer in adb sideload mode, so trying adb reboot edl results in an "error:closed" message. If not in sideload mode, adb cannot even register a device. Occasionally, I've seen a small Linux penguin in the middle of the screen and today it hung on the MiFavor logo for some time. If those are significant, I don't know how to get them back. The ZTE engineers have been very thorough. It's frustratiing because the adb sideload thing might work with the right software package, and I can clear the cache and wipe the system; but then I'm back to square one. Your suggestion about dismantling the phone sounds like the most promising path forward and I will have a go tomorrow.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
So you get the 5 seconds screen? Have you tried to enter fastboot?

If I'm right, you get the Linux penguin when you hit the power button when you are on the 5 seconds screen (the 'Your device can't be checked for corruption' screen). If it appears, use a volume button to get to the options, select 'Bootloader' and try to enter Bootloader mode. It should have fastboot, being an A2017.

If you get to fastboot you can issue 'fastboot boot twrp.img' and your phone will boot into TWRP. Take Lineage, the Universal Bootloader and the A2017 modem and flash them, then format data, and you'll be good to go.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tretayuga:
I do indeed get the 5 seconds screen, but the reason I didn't mention it is that it does nothing from what I can see. The phone "boots" after five seconds, but if I press the volume buttons to enter options, Bootloader is not one of them. The Fastboot option just makes the phone reboot and the Recovery option sends me to the screen in the photo upthread. Like I say, they've been very thorough.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tretayuga:
Curioser and curioser. I went through the steps to short circuit the test point on the motherboard and MiFlash successfully flashed the Unbrick ROM which you advised. Obviously, the Qualcomm drivers were recognised e.t.c. The state of the phone now is that it is caught in a boot loop. It shows the ZTE screen and the 5-second screen. Going into recovery on the 5-second screen causes the ZTE logo to appear again, then the battery icon keeps showing, switching off and showing again. The Fastboot mode on the 5-second screen now takes me to the Fastboot screen, but entering recovery causes the same battery loop. Did I make a mistake reassembling the phone perhaps? Should I try to flash a different ROM from the test point?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
So now you have fastboot? Put the TWRP-3.2.1-0.img on the adb folder, then open CMD, navigate to that folder, write 'fastboot boot TW" and press Tab, the filename should appear, if it does hit Enter

If you get to TWRP don't turn the phone off, and flash the universal bootloader, Lineage, the A2017 modem, and Magisk 15.2
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tretayuga:
Sorry, I didn't make that clear. The 5-second screen directs me to Fastboot, but there are only four options there: Start (doesn't work, obviously), Restart Bootloader (brings you back to the same place), Shut down and Recovery (goes to battery icon). Don't know what went wrong--maybe a connection got damaged when the phone was dismantled--but I discover I can't repeat the short circuiting thing and, even though the phone is seen on the system as Qualcomm 90.., MiFlash cannot flash anything different. I despair. I'll send the phone for recycling. Making the Axon 7 incompatible with Daydream was the last straw. I very much appreciate your help just the same.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
No, when you are on the screen with the 4 options you have Fastboot. That is the bootloader mode. Get there and issue 'fastboot devices' and you'll see that you got fastboot from there.

Don't repeat the 4th category manual, just turn the phone off and hold volume up and down, then connect the USB. If it appears as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 you're in EDL.

What's the name of the package that you flashed?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tretayuga:
You star! I've followed your advice and now it is exactly the phone I was looking for. (I had made a mistake and forgotten to reconnect something in the internals, but the ROM worked just fine once that was sorted and I've flashed all the things you recommended.) Your name will be sung down the ages in my household, Choose an username. Many thanks :)

Looked at a lot of videos online and this seem to be the best case for drop test. Plus tech 21 screen protector. I've had this phone for a little over a week. Me and my girlfriend both have the Note 8. We also have samsung care protection.

So I guess you can say we are able to be more careless. It's a 100 dollar fee for repair deduction. Anyway I've droped mine 3Xs and GF 6Xs all on hard concrete and other hard flooring. All at pocket and ear drop distance. I am 6ft myself and gf 5ft. No scratching or cracks.

Anyone else have same results? If anyone reading this decides to get both tech 21 case and screen protector. Go on ebay way cheaper. Tmobile tried charging me $100+ Tax for both smh. Got exact both on ebay for $35.

Case is sleek and can barely tell it's on. Bunch of different versions to choose from. Check out drop test here.

Yeah haven't tried that 1 yet. My biggest concern is drop proof. UAG wins on sleekness, haven't really checked that 1 for drop test. Ebay got them used for $15 for tech21 case. Normally $40-50 new. Screen protector for $20 new.

There's more videos on youtube this one for S8 and S8+ but same case. I use to only buy temper glass. After this video and my own experiences glad I switched. Barely can tell the film is on and no bubbles.
