Solution to the Problem

Hi everybody,

I found the solution here in the Forum. So please forgive my double posting :)

w3rti wrote in his post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=374564:

I tried the same strings with mtty, but the key was to type it and NOT to copy/paste it. And this time it worked!

And at the end of step 11 there is no feedback on the screen of the pda (blank screen, nothing). So I waited for 10 minutes and gave him a [power-light-reset]

After that my favorite ROM-version did flash all throw the whole process.

Thank you guys :D

Not yet.. Waiting for someone who will provide a way.

Somewhere in youtube i saw to update to beta rom(without unlocking bootloader) you need to be on a developer rom(you can download developer rom from "en.miui.com") ,which is not yet available for redmi note 5 pro.

Take a look on this article

https://www.xda-developers.com/install-miui-10-xiaomi-redmi-note-5-pro-xiaomi-mi-mix-2-xiaomi-mi-6/

They haven't mentioned about locked bootloader.. that method should work for locked bootloader mobile.

Since my mobile is new I am not interested to try beta ROM.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] kamrul.auntu:
TWRP will never work with locked bootloader. It's very common term that is why you might not seen lock unlock thing. If only one developer rom available for RN5P then also could be do this without unlocking BL.

Hi everyone

I just got a zenfone 3 ultra myself, and dealing with some trouble out of the box.

After googling didn't get me any answers, i thought i'd ask, i am encountering these problems:

-on/off button sometimes works, sometimes doesn't

-other side in the call sometimes can't hear me, just a buzzing sound

-apps sometimes fail to launch

Anyone has any similar experience? phone is still stock (android 6)

Any answers will be much appreciated
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fosfacto:
Good evening,

At first please don't call me dumb for not coming here earlier.

I'll try to explain.

For the past 2 days I've been reading posts, forums, websites, installed third party software and who knows what else and still I can't find an answer.

Massive headache for trying to find a solution but without any results. So I finally decided to speak with the experts (you guys), yes I know I probably wouldn't have this headache if I would came here earlier, I know, but I'm the sort of guy "If I don't know I'm able to learn" if that makes sense.

Right, going straight to the point my Samsung Galaxy S5 fell and the screen cracked, my issue now is I have photos etc in my MicroSD card that are extremely important for me and my family, the USB debugging is off and has a pattern to unlock it so, resuming, I can't see a way to get those photos back, hence why I came here. After these last days of reading etc best is "Just speak with professionals that know what they talk about".

On other matter, I have my old Samsung S3 which I'm trying to make it work as a replacement but it has the "black screen issue", which after I reset it, and reinstalled the OS from scratch using Odin, still keeps doing the same thing.

Does any of you guys know the solution regarding any of these issues?

What I tried so far:

Samsung Galaxy S5

- Advanced Recovery Data for Android

- Android Recovery Data

- Dr.Fone

- Dr. Fone Toolkit

- Using my mouse to try to unlock it (without seeing what I'm actually doing)

Samsung Galaxy S3

- Odin

- Installation of md5 file

- All the sequences of "Volume up/down, Home, Power"

Hope you guys can help me with this.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibuprophen:
This is actually 2 separate questions that I'll see if I can help you out with...

.

Without knowing which variant (SM-G900V, SM-G900F, etc...)...

I would like to know why you just don't replace the LCD Digitizer Screen.

New ones are (typically) between $15-$25 +/- (this price is based upon eBay and Amazon) and isn't really that difficult if you take a look at the following guide on how to do it.

Unless you're not tech savvy at all.. LOL !:)

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Samsung+Galaxy+S5+Display+Assembly+Replacement/26914

.

Again... Without knowing which variant (SCH-I535, GT-I9300, SGH-T999, etc...)...

Your explanation is really vague because you had stated a blank/black screen (which indicates that it's dead) and then explained steps that would reflect otherwise.

I will need you to elaborate more for this device. Of course, without trying out for a best selling novel... LMAO! :)

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fosfacto:
Thanks for your reply.

S5 is a SM-G900F

I've seen those prices yes, BUT I don't want to ruin it since I never tried it before, and obviously my goal its not fixing it but trying to access my data on my MicroSD card.

But to be honest, good thought tho, since I'm not having luck with the S3 at all.

Thanks for the Guide tho, it looks pretty "dummies" proof lolololol

S3 is a GT-I9300

Probably I explained myself wrong, since English its not my frist language, still, when I say "the black screen issue" I mean, I turn it on, Samsung galaxy s3 logo shows up and....Black screen. In other words it turns itself off. I got a new battery and it wasn't that, I reseted, and nop wasn't that either, Safe mode etc and no result, installed .md5 through Odin and still no result and its not the screen since I tested too. Frustrating.

Any clues or ideas?

Thanks for the tips so far.

Ahh. So I had tested it with OnePlus gestures app and thought it was fine. I went to the stock gallery (I use a different one) and there was a space at the bottom. I'm assuming now that it doesn't have the scaling. Sorry bud.

It's been sitting. I have a friend that uses the Family Mobile by Walmart which uses T-Mobile towers. I've tried the sim in the Note 4 with mine since I also use the same service and it works.

Check your password

Hey,

While i was messing around with my H8P bootloader, i noticed an additional 's' in my password ! Probably while saving it would have got added.

I recommend cross checking if you're actually using the right password. (To the extent that you go through the request process again! Recommend doing this and taking screenshots as after a few days, you will no longer be able to request codes anymore!).

Also, post the error you get while trying to unlock the bootloader.

Hi,

Eventually I had to pay 15€ for DC Phoenix to be able to flash my Honor. Absolutely nothing helped and none of C434 firmwares worked on C900B131 rollback package, therefore I had to flash C636B130. I received an update to B360 which worked just fine. Then B380 update came which is a nightmare that bricks our phones and the reason I bricked my Honor 8 the first time (back in October of 2017). I had to reflash it through DC Phoenix once again. Later on I tried to move from B360 to B389 which bricked my phone AGAIN. So I am staying on B360 which, I think, works just fine. It is sad that I am unable to get the latest firmware updates but it is what it is. Although I really hate the notification on my Settings icon which informs to update the phone. I disabled all the Updater notifications and so on but it is still there.

I like Honor 8 and I've been always recomending it to everyone but as of now I doubt I'll ever buy Huawei phone again.
[Honor 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Anirudh A:
DC Phoenix always to the rescue. Unfortunately , this is the sad state of Huawei/Honor . Your device should be fixed free , because of Honors fault. Now that they're also not giving out unlock codes after a month , it's a direct screw you to all the advanced users. There's no predicting how this gamble will play out for them. I'm also not going to recommend Huawei /Honor to any advanced users . One plus has my money. However , Huaweis midrangers and just about OK for regular use.
