[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] KrisM22:
2, yes, that was my error.

4. again this was half a year ago but i think I was hearing something like eu wasn't offering ota's where as if they put a us (or some other, I don't remember) ret on it they started getting ota's. it's all about the sec fixes.

- as to Moto's stance, I am shocked (though extremely pleased) that we (MZP) got 8.0 , and apparently there's a sec fix for july out there, I just haven't gotten it yet. Damn that's good!!! I read an article somewhere and realized that Moto/Lenovo (both of whom I love) are way down there in the market share. Maybe they're trying to compete? I would likely get another Moto of some sort in a year or 2 when I tire of this one as I like the way they are built and seem easy to modify, to me. Same way I'm on my second very used Lenovo laptop(from V570 to T530) and really loving it. It will last me for years. I think I did hear somewhere that mfgrs like Moto are becoming more adamant that sellers (like ATT?) provide updates for much longer than usual. If so the end result that little folks like me will get sec updates on our phones for longer than we used to. and I suppose when they stop I'll get a new one. But this is a couple years old, or something like that, so, love it!!!

Just curious regarding this post - did something change regarding republic wireless? I purchased my MZP from them in December 2016. It was a bone stock, carrier unlocked -02 model. I unlocked the bootloader through Motorolas program with no issues when the Oreo update came OTA.

please tell me, install ROM 8.1, now that the mobile started, always turn on bootloander and I have to start to start normal.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] echo92:
Try this method:

1)Boot your device to the bootloader. Connect your device to your computer via USB.

2)Open an ADB terminal. In the terminal, type 'fastboot oem fb_mode_clear' without quotes. Press Enter.

3)Try to reboot normally.

The command fastboot oem fb_mode_clear can clear a flag that tells your device to boot to the bootloader.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] KrisM22:
Huh???
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] echo92:
Joshua asked for help with their device rebooting to the bootloader rather than booting to system. https://xdaforums.com/moto-z-play/help/please-help-urgently-t3814260/post77044198 The command fastboot oem fb_mode_clear can sometimes help clear a setting that causes that (usually set by the fastboot flash command fastboot oem fb_mode_set).
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] KrisM22:
which 8.1 is this? Alberto's? So he's going to boot to TWRP and flash Alberto's? Why change bootloader?

I am not understanding what you are saying at all.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] echo92:
I'm confused by this statement - if it's a custom ROM (and I think there's no stock 8.1. firmware as far as I know), it has no bootloader - only the system. You can't change the bootloader with custom firmware, only stock firmware/stock OTA updates have the correct cryptographic signatures to be accepted by the bootloader and be able to flash to the bootloader partitions (as enforced by the (bootloader) secure: yes flag).
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] joshua764:
I'm a little confused, what do I have to do? I just want to boot directly into system, not bootloander. thanks for your help:fingers-crossed:
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] KrisM22:
Okay, so I m guessing that you are talking about 8.0

When you flash a zip of a stock/factory ROM and then "boot to it"

you are actually booting to your bootloader which in turn checks to see if there is a ROM present and if so boots to it.

If no ROM is present, you will boot to fastboot screen.

Could you please give me an html link to the second (latest, last) ROM you flashed.

Thanks.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] joshua764:
perfect, the command fastboot oem fb_mode_clear worked perfection, I am very affronted with you KrisM22 for the follow-up and help

Just tried several times with honor support to get unlocked code before the so called deadline...they refused and said they will not be provided for phone from USA & Canada. Any thoughts about what is going on....
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] pix106:
you can try
https://www.emui.com/en/plugin/unlock/index

I got my unock code that way a few weeks ago
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Donald Seguin:
thank you.

Will give that a try, are you using a North American phone ( Canada or USA) cause that seems to be what they are blocking for now.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] pix106:
No I'm not, I'm in Europe, but it's still worth a try :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] mattyboyo:
I just got my code earlier today so it's still working.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] agraceful:
Chris (developer for Honor us) said they are not blocking codes at all. In fact, he's still in talks with the uppers trying to reverse the decision. You can easily find him on FB if you'd like to personally reach out to
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Donald Seguin:
You guys are correct, support was wrong they are still providing unlock codes...now that I have a code where do I input this in the phone to make sure it is unlocked. I have not done this before...so I will not be flashing A ROM on this just yet! :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] krchi:
If you don't know how to unlock bootloader or understand what comes with unlocking a bootloader, do some reading on other threads or do not attempt it at all you could break your phone.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Donald Seguin:
This much I know...unlock now to preserve the option of a stable Rom sometime in the future after Honor stops supporting the phone...I hate this planned obsolescence which is all too common with Android... :(
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] stackedbeer:
Do we still get OTA updates after unlocking the bootloader?

I want to stick to EMUI until OTA updates are stopped officially.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] linkazoid:
You don't need to use it now unless you wish to switch to custom ROMs or gain root.

Just keep it until you're ready to make the change. It can be used to unlock and relock as many times as you want.

Unlocking will force a wipe.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Frau Son:
There are no stable ROMs at the moment anyway, and I doubt there will still be oldschool ones in the future.

As soon as Oreo is out for your region you could unlock and switch to Treble ROMs, but they're not stable for our phone yet either. Kirin's are fiddly to work with when it comes to custom roms, even with Treble support. Stock is always the best option.

Keep your unlock code somewhere safe, since (like someone already said) you can use and reuse it however often you want, and really stay on stock as long as you can. It's of no use for you to unlock/root right now.

[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Yashodhan Wagle:
I have rooted my G5 plus, added xposed installer and the YouTube background playback mod but the YouTube app started crashing soo I deactivated the playback mod and uninstalled it but the app still keeps crashing. The app crashes as soon as I open it and reinstalling keeps it stable for few days and then it's back to crashing. Any solutions? I would love to keep the background playback mod too if it's possible (YouTube red isn't available here soo I guess ethically not a problem :p)
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Prince Jhamat:
Just install Youtube Vanced if you want pip and background playback.
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dahenjo:
I agree with previous post, but if you don't know: YouTube Vanced is a Magisk add-on module so you need to be rooted with Magisk to use it (not SuperSU). Go to Downloads in the Magisk menu and scroll all the way down to find it, there are two versions - regular/white themed and black themed. I think the xposed version mod may be outdated so can be detected as "cheating" and messed up by playstore services/google from working correctly which may explain the crashing. The Magisk version is frequently updated to get around that and latest I'm using now is dated June 23 2018.

Hi all,

after waiting 15 days, I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp, firmware and rom, then rebooted.

the phone is dead ever since.

I can see it in device manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM10)", but I am not able to flash a rom through miflash.

any help is welcome

*additional informations*

here are the steps i followed:

1) unlocked bootloader succesfully

2) flashed official twrp

3) wiped EVERYTHING except sd ext

4) flashed this firmware

https://sourceforge.net/projects/xiaomi-firmware-updater/files/Developer/

5) flashed this rom

https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-5-pro/development/ota-resurrection-remix-os-6-0-0-t3777375

6) rebooted, dead

I noticed now that if i try to turn on the phone, the led blinks a few times

PROBLEM SOLVED:

the phone is alive again. Here is what I have done-

1) I opened the phone and tried the test point method, but I noticed that nothing changed in the way the phone was detected by my laptop. So, it's not crucial have "COM 7" in device manager.

Then I basically followed the steps suggested by [MENTION=9221713]Destrangis[/MENTION] in post #3
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Jehonan:
EDL booting and flashing is your solution.

Now, only debatable is will you use EDL booting procedure which requires opening of the phone to short two contacts to be able to boot in EDL or You will use altered ADB which gives possibility to boot in EDL without case opening. This second option is somehow questionable but first, i think, if second option to enter EDL without opening is way to go!

Hard brick. I went through it. Follow these steps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfkRHAW2iXI .

1- You have to activate the EDL mode.

2- In MiFlash Choose CLEAN ALL and install this rom: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.2.7.0.N...EK_20180406.0000.00_7.1_global_179eb04f38.tgz

3- Installed TWRP, WIPES and flash https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528041092 and Magisk

4- Come back TWRP, WIPES and install your favorite rom. :good:

PD: If you see "COM7" in MIFLASH, go directly to step 2.

cannot read hello packet was kind of a random error for me. I did open the phone, disconnected battery and the other cable you find on the left (dunno what is it), test point, then put it back together and It worked.

Have you used NEIMIEK rom?

that solved the issue for me

after I flashed the RR rom the phone got bricked. It actually happened twice.

maybe a corrupted download?

I already disconnected the battery cables and all other cables, and reconnected. It did not solve my problem.

Screen is dark, no fastboot, no recovery, can't power on, no charging LED. i knew i stuck in EDL because when i plug in to PC, it's recognized "Qualcomm ... 9008". i used Miflash but it had error:"read hello packet" or "cannot receive hello packet". Then i remove phone's back cover and Test Point, but i had another error :" cannot read port COM" or "the file name,....... Open Programmer.....". I tried all Miflash and rom version, with another way like change folder name shorter, use mifash beta, run as..., ..... but it's still not working now.

I had miui 9 global version, after 15 days I unlocked the bootloader, installed the twrp and flashed magisk, everything was ok. after a few weeks the phone started to give me problems with the google services, so I decided to try the miui 10 beta.

No vibration by holding the power button, no fastboot, no recovery, no charging led, the phone is dead, it is only recognized as Qualcomm on my PC. I took my phone to repair center 2 times, but they could not fix it. I have not yet entered edl mode because when I open the phone I'm afraid I can not reconnect everything as well. Mi Flash gives me this error "can not read hello packet", at this point I do not know if I have to wait for fastboot rom miui 10 final release, and if it is an anti rollback problem, someone help me please ... :crying:

Thank you
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Incogn:
If you spent the time it took to write this post reading and searching instead, you would know that you probably have ARB brick. Also, simple search answers your question, in order to fix can not read hello packet, you just have to hold power button for like 5-10sec. But if its ARB brick, even if you go past hello packet error, you still gonna need authorized account to unbrick your device.
