Hi

im a new member but have been using the site for ages.

my mediapad m3 is also wifi only and im trying to get the code for the bootloader to be unlocked except for the fact that my calculator app isn't scientific enough (lol) to include brackets.

what do I do to get the code or update my calc app?

alex
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TimFr:
You have to use the calculator in landscape mode (turn on auto-rotate) and then the bracket buttons will appear.

So I finally got around to installing this on my stock version. I found 16GB was too limiting and I was hoping to use the SD card to expand the space so I could use it for a few more years. I purchased the code from DC_unlocker.

A couple of things I noticed while following the guide. To enter fastboot mode, holding down the volume down and power button doesn't seem to work. What you to do is while it's off, hold down the volume down button and plug in the microusb cable, while continuing to hold it down. You could also enter fastboot using an ADB command.

Also I couldn't wipe anything before installing the new roms, I got error messages. I'm not sure what that means. Anyways after installing android 9, it seemed to take a very long time to first boot. The graphic animation is going, but I wasn't sure if it was working so I hard reset once, tried to boot again and then waited again, hard reset again and put it down thinking I would have to look into the error messages and when I came back it was up and running.

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me out here.

A few days ago, I followed the instructions unlocking the bootloader of my Mediapad M3 lite 8 (CPN-W09) and sure enough, I successfully unlocked the bootloader. However I've now run into another problem - I cannot get the FRP on the tablet to be unlocked!

Nothing I've tried seems to get it to unlock. The (only) Google account used on the tablet has been my own, and it's been no problem signing back into my account when factory resetting the tablet. One time when investigating it, after a factory reset it did say that it was "restricted" but again, adding my Google account details on the setup was no issue, but even after then deleting the account (which, if I'm right, should set FRP to "unlocked") when I enter into fastboot mode it still shows FRP as locked! And it shows it no matter what I do, wherever the Google account is "active" on the tablet or not, and the last four or five times I've did a factory reset with both data and cache partition wipes done and nothing budges. I think I'm at a lost cause here - the "OEM Unlock" option in the developer settings is totally greyed out. ?

Of course, the tablet is still "usable" but there is no way to carry out special functions after unlocking the bootloader, like rooting, install TWRP, custom ROM etc. and it just kinds of stands in a limbo.

I've tried searching here on XDA and the web in general, high and low, to see if this problem has affected anyone else, and strangely it doesn't seem to happen to anyone else!

For the record, I've also tried hardreset.info's FRP unlock tool which claimed to be successful, but it clearly wasn't!

I hope someone out there might have a solution to my woe - as I think I've partially crippled by M3 Lite 8 otherwise by trying to unlock the bootloader. :(
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] surdu_petru:
You could try to lock bootloader back, and before to unlock bootloader again, first just unlock OEM .
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] lawhec:
I did try this at the time, and I couldn't get it to work. But I had another try at it yesterday and I managed to get the bootloader locked again, toggle OEM unlock to "off" and unlocked the bootloader once more and it worked! :o

So after doing this, I tried to get TWRP 3.3.1-1 flashed but it would stay frozen on the screen - I then read that I needed to install TWRP 3.2.0-0 first, install the August 2019 Lineage 16 firmware, then go back to the bootloader, flash TWRP 3.3.1-0, check everything was OK and then return to bootloader to finally flash TWRP 3.3.1-1. Success! I then flashed the latest Lineage OS 17.1 firmware along with Open Gapps (ARM64, Android 10, nano) and so far everything has worked OK. I just need to download all my apps again, but I'm sure it will give my CPN-W09 a new lease of life!

I used to do some rooting previously with Android handsets in the past, but the last time was two years ago (rooting & upgrading an Alcatel handset to Android 6.0) and FRP was new to me, throwing me off.

I've donated some Euros to you as an appreciation for your work & advice. Merci beaucoup! :D

Just bought a global Pocophone f1 (made in China) 6/128gb variant but for some weird reason there is no option of face unlock? Is it supposed to come with a software update? Any help you be appreciated. Screenshot attached. Thank you.

I can only get it to work when I select India. Nothing for Italy or Hong Kong and I can't even select China.

All a bit of a pain since I'm in Ireland. I'm getting served up Indian versions of websites whenever I search for anything.

I'm on miui 9.6.14.0 fwiw

Anyone know of a different workaround?

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thesoupthief:
I opted out of that at set up. Just had a search through the frustratingly disorganised miui settings menus to try to confirm this, but couldn't find it. Could you give me a pointer as to where it is please?

To clarify, I'm not getting any adverts, just notifications about Indian sporting events etc
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] predragiPredrag:
Search will not help you. Open every xiaomi app, go to its settings and you will find somewhere personal adds or something like that :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thesoupthief:
Again, to clarify, I'm not getting any adverts.

That is not the problem.

The problem (and it's not a big problem) is that I can only use face unlock when I select India as my location - that means I get loads of Indian sports news, which I don't really want.

So, back to the question I was asking, is there another fudge that can enable ir face unlock regardless of location setting?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] predragiPredrag:
Oh OK, sorry I cannot help you with that :) I moved phone, and it will pass some time before I get another one. I am curious where do you actually see those news?? In a app, or you just receive them as notification? It has to come from somewhere :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] katoda_ltd:
Apparently nope. The best hit is to update to 9.6.22, then face unlock will work while having Poland, Spain or France set as a region. News choice should be a bit better ;)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] uremytoy:
Switch to xiaomi.eu no ads, also those news you are talking and it face unlock works on all region, actually there's no region on it. The only downside is that you need to unlock bootloader if you don't have it yet

OK, got my new unlocked Global version Pocophone F1, 128/6 gb in Canada, but there's some issues with face unlock and fingerprint. As i'm allowed to add face data with Hong Kong as region, i'm asked to type in my pass to proceed and the screen goes back to add face data... again asking me for password, and so on... same happens with fingerprint when i try to add new fingerprint...

Hi Martin. I'm in Ireland - Pocophone F1 works perfectly. Getting 4g on Tesco mobile, through the 3 network.

I'd strongly recommend buying either one of these or a mi8, depending on whether you want an oled screen and nfc (mi8) or an SD slot and more storage (saving a few € - Pocophone).

Either way, terrific phones.

Interestingly 3 Ireland have just started selling Xiaomi phones - not these yet though, AFAIK.

One really important thing though - if you're gonna buy one, make sure it has an international ROM - not Chinese. Buying in HK you should be ok, but make sure you don't come home with a Chinese one. If you do it's not the end of the world, but life's easier with the international version
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] martinincork:
Anywhere in Ireland? even with no 4g?

Thanks soup thief, will it work anywhere in Ireland ,where there is no strong signal?

i bought poco f1 yesterday. i've a problem with face unlock. i chose hong kong as region. i scanned my face.

when i show my face to front camera it nothing hapens. When i push the power button and turn on the screen and than show my face it opens. If i don't turn on the screen phone doesn't recognize my face.

What's the error and how can i fix it?

Please help me, thanks.

edit : i fixed it. on the display section i opened raise to awake option and fixed.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] gie62001:
Lol. No you've not fixed anything as nothing was broken in the first place. That's how all face unlocks work on all phones as you have to activate the screen first and then the IR and camera sensors scan your face. You only activated additional feature to make it look like you "fixed" it while you actually did nothing.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thesoupthief:
Yeah, the signal where I work is pretty sketchy, so sometimes I get 3g, very rarely Edge (2g).

It has all the Irish frequency bands covered, so there couldn't really be any problem, other than if you got one intended for the Chinese market, and that wouldn't be insurmountable.

There are a few people using them over at boards.ie too. I haven't checked in there for a while but you might be interested to have a look.

Hi Soup Thief,

I'm in Ireland too, can confirm the major networks are all supported (3, Vodaphone, Meteor, O2, Tesco Mobile).

For the face unlocking feature, I figured it was something to do with the EU data protection regulations (GDPR) that came in last year...

... but changing the region from Ireland to UK unlocks the feature!

No Indian sports / celeb news! Maybe we can thank Brexit?

ROTFL, you should get "The Golden Shovel" award for replying to the post written two years ago :LOL: Make some effort and see the post I was replying to. The OP, located in Ireland, was complaining that "I get loads of Indian sports news, which I don't really want", no doubts that news from European countries, which he would get after changing phone region to one of these countries, would suit him better, while ensuring that he will get IR unlock. It does not have anything to do with respecting or not respecting news from any country. Peace, man.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] sbiricuda:
Hello,

i need your help with my htc u 12+., please :((

What happened

While I was happily using the phone a pop up from Magisk manager showed up, asking if I wanted to update. I said ok.

Magisk manager updated. Then it asked to update Magisk itself to 17.1. Checked on XDA if it was stable. It was. I chose the suggested method and tapped ok.

Here's where the nightmare begins. The installation seemed successful but the phone couldn't boot properly. The HTC animation stopped suddenly on the three green dots and the phone didn't react at all. It was not really a bootloop, it was like it couldn't boot any more.

What I did

Tried not to freak out and managed to boot into bootloader and then recovery. Tried to uninstall magisk through the magisk uninstaller, couldn't do it.

I didn't know if I could install Magisk 16.0 over a newer version, and I preferred not to try by luck. So I decided to restore a previous NAND Back up I had made. The NAND backup could restore everything but the /vendor partition.

Now, the phone successfully reboots but:

- I have no root (Magisk is gone)

- when I plug my USB cable, it only charges. No communication between the phone and the PC, unless I boot into bootloader (then the connection is there again and I can use fastboot commands). When I go to Developer options, no matter what communication protocol I choose for USB, it sticks to "Charge". Debug USB is ON, of course.

Tried to install Magisk again through a temporary TWRP, but the issue is still there: I can't mount /vendor partition and it fails.

I've looked for a solution here and there; what I found out is that I should use a treble-enabled TWRP, but my limited knowledge doesn't help me with that.

Please could you help me? It's crazy how messy can be just tapping ok on a notification :crying:

EDIT - FIXED:

To restore the USB communication, flashing the RUU solved the problem.

Using the patched boot.img method to install Magisk could succesfully work around the /vendor issue.

Huge thanks to the guys who helped, that was essential.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Tachi91:
Easy fix. Flash the RUU and be on your marry way.

Thatll flash EVERYTHING back to stock. Then restore your data via TWRP that you had saved on a USB or microsdcard.

I also updated to the latest magisk, but everything is working just fine for me. (64Gig US unlocked version)

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MNoisy:
I had the same issue this morning and finally figured it out. Just use the new uninstaller from the magisk thread. Once you flash that in twrp you will be able to install the new magisk without any problems!
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] sbiricuda:
Unfortunately, the new uninstaller is the one that doesn't work for me due to the /vendor partition, that my TWRP is not able to mount.. :(
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] sbiricuda:
Thank you, maybe this one will help me.

Should I check something before trying ? (like CID.. or.. something else?)

And can I launch the RUU when I'm in bootloader mode? It's the only way I have to make the PC recognize the device.

EDIT: trying to launch the RUU, but after a few clicks it closes.. maybe my PC can't find a device, even in bootloader mode, and the software is shut down.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] sbiricuda:
[canceled]
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MNoisy:
I was having the same issue with error 2 and 255 (Maybe 225?) with the vendor mount problem. I think I rebooted/changed from slot a to slot b then back again. Then I was able to run uninstaller and the new installer. System and vendor were both unchecked and automatically mounted with the magisk script during the new install.

I actually recommend flashing the stock boot image before you do any of this to. You should not have to RUU. I had the identical problems today.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] sbiricuda:
So basically I should give:

fastboot --set-active=a

fastboot --set-active=b

(or vice versa if i'm on A)

right?

And where can i get the stock boot? The NAND-restore restored the /boot I had just after unlocking the bootloader, it's a very early nand-backup. Should I still flash the stock boot image?

Anyway, if only I could connect my phone stuck on "just charge" USB option, I wouldn't mind to RUU and start over again. The phone only has two days, it won't take long to set it up again.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MNoisy:
I did mine through a temporary boot of twrp

Stock boot images can be found in the spreadsheet linked in the second post of the image/firmware/boot/OTA thread here

Boot to download mode

temporary boot twrp

install stock boot image only (From thread linked above)

After the boot image is installed, to be safe, you might want to reboot again to download mode and then temporary boot twrp again just to ensure the boot image installation completed fully and is recognized (Just a guess based on my experience)

Now that you are back in twrp with the stock boot image installed, run the new magisk uninstaller (You should not need to worry about mounting anything since the magisk script does it automatically if not mounted)

Once uninstaller is complete, install the new magisk 17.1 through twrp and you should be good to go.

If you have issues with errors, try the process again. If still having issues, use the reboot menu in TWRP to switch slots back and forth and then try again.

It took me a good 30 min to find the combination that worked but it consisted of the steps above. 7 minutes of it was trying to get the damn phone to stop boot looping but my finger kept double tapping or screwing up the pressure to hold down power!
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] sbiricuda:
Seems that I have no luck. The provided boot.img in the spreadsheet is for US unlocked variant, while I have the european version. Maybe it's the same, but the point is that when I open the AFH page to download, it says "for HTC U11".
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Flippy498:
Did you try extracting the boot image from the RUU that corresponds your current firmware version? The needed decryption tool is linked in the same thread in which you found the spreadsheet.

Flashing a US RUU on a European phone without S-OFF isn't possible, btw. That's why you faced those errors, earlier.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MNoisy:
The U11 is just a typo, it is the right stuff. You have a couple options since there is no signed stock boot available on the spreadsheet. Simply download the RUU and decrypt the payload using the instructions in the OP of the post I already provided or go to here and find yours (It is there, I checked :))
