Wondering again why again an error lol

TRhrough opening flash_all.bat file I see:

which means I cant downgrade, ya?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] tobyffm:
Edit: I now tried again the "Flash only" option insteadquick-flash and it was verified....now it is flashing....I chosed the same version which is installed already (global one)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] bobo9900:
Very confusing. 10.2.1.0 should be ARB 4. I think all miui 10 rom is ARB 4. I dont understand why yours failed.

I just do some more browsing, and it seems mi assistant just support mi max and mi max2 and several version of mi, redmi, and redmi note. Not include mi max 3.

I think I can't help anymore. I'm still waiting 10days to unlock my phone. Good luck to you bro..
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] tobyffm:
As mentioned in my Edit I could flash the miui_MIMAX3Global_V10.2.1.0.OEDMIFK_885d8903d6_8.1 .zip now successfully. It rebooted automatically but still same, onlyinto Mi Recovery 3.0

Shall I try to flash the china version which I downloaded earlier today? It is miui_MIMAX3_V10.2.1.0.OEDCNXM_4f84ff82ea_8.1.zip
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] mierlo420:
If you flash the Global fastboot rom on a Chinese device and don't uncheck the 'clean all and lock' option in MiFlash (which is checked by default), you will brick your phone.

If it's possible go to Mi service center, you can't fix it by yourself.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] bobo9900:
I think you should really try this. If you accidentally flash and lock, only china version can work properly with your locked device.

Btw,getvar:anti FAILED in mi max 3 is normal. Read from miui eu forum, Mi max3 not properly show ARB level from ADB command. But your device IS ARB4 as you successfully flash miui10. So, never flash miui9 rom

Mi max 3 not launch officially there. Official xiaomi center won't accept servicing phone which not bought with local warranty.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] tobyffm:
If I choose chinese rom it is unverified, only global rom works now. But it ends up in not booting.

I think I finally bricked the device after 1 day only. I need to buy a new device. wow. :(
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] bobo9900:
If unverified, it doesn't flash. Your rom in device should be still global. Not booting maybe battery depleted.

Only chance is open device and flash in EDL mode.. hope there is someone else knew more.

how about this?

https://en.miui.com/thread-4145299-1-1.html

although this is for bricked by ARB, it might work.

deplete battery or remove battery, connect to phone to PC and make sure it shows Qualcomm 9008 driver.

miflash 20160401 version, and use china stable rom.

another method:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78052813&postcount=16

this for for phone not locked, but bricked because ARB. Just try it with latest stable global or china rom.

another one:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78355400&postcount=63

this is accidentally locked case. use Prog Emmc Firehose ELF(Patched), same chipset with mi max 3, might work.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] tobyffm:
Many thanks for your help.

Update: I got some help from xiao mi reseller. However, now the Chinese stable Rom is flashed successfully and device is booting up again.

At least a step forward because I have a running phone. Of course I need global Rom to have all Google services.

So I think I will login to xiao mi account from android, make sure I sync this device with account and then unlock bootloader and flash the global Rom, right?

I'm just scared and so happy that it's booting up again, actually I don't want to touch it again but I really need the global Rom ?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] bobo9900:
could you share how you manage to fix the device?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] tobyffm:
I would if I could. I went to a xiao mi reseller who have some other options than myself and asked for some help. They did the work behind their desk, I tipped them, that's it. I did give the previous downloaded China Rom to them and they were able to flash it for me.

I'm really sorry I can't give more information

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] CanadianGixxerman:
I reloaded my G5 Plus with POTTER_RETAIL_7.0_NPNS25.137-93-4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip sucessfuly. However, I was not able to relock the bootloader :

C:\Moto potter>fastboot oem lock

...

(bootloader) Still require signed boot.img

It got OTA'ed to Oreo 8.1 latter on, but still bootloader unlocked. That's weird, I thought a phone with open bootloader would not receive OTA, but mine does.

I just went through the flashing process to POTTER_RETAIL_8.1.0_OPSS28.85-17-4, same damn thing.

Everything works fine, except for Netflix that can't be installed no longer and my bank software who keeps complaining.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
An unlocked bootloader has nothing to do with getting OTA updates. At least you get the unlock code from the manufacturer himself.

Only changes in /system or /vendor like rooting or other tweaks make OTA fail.

About locking the BL, a bit of research would have taken you here: https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/how-to/how-to-lock-bootloader-potter-version-t3694952

Unlike you supposed, I just did not throw my problem in the forum and waited for someone else to hand me a solution on a silver plate. I did do my homeworks, I did *MANY* searches, I did see the post you pointed me toward, that one and many many others that resembled it closely. But this whole endeavour did not lead me to my expected objective, which is to relock my phone. I am in the same loop I was in when I started trying : The second time I issue the «fastboot oem lock» command, I get this :

C:\Moto potter>fastboot.exe oem lock

...

(bootloader) Still require signed boot.img

OKAY [ 0.003s]

And the BL does not lock.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] riyan65:
You can get signed images from Lenovo Moto smart assistant app, just go for rescue and let the firmware gets download, then go to the c/LMSA/ROM there you can find the firmware which has signed, use that image for locking bootloader, then you can lock your bootloader.and don't get anger on wolfcity he just try to help you as, some person don't know how to lock bootloader so they just post on XDA without reading the other thread only.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
I don't wanted to sound rude or something like that.

You didn't mention that you used all the fastboot locking commands in you first post, you just posted three lines of flashing boot, recovery and logo.

So no offense.

What sounds strange to me is that Netflix and your banking app aren't working with an unlocked bootloader. Normally these applications are looking for traces of rooting methods like magisk or SuperSU. I'm unlocked and rooted with magisk and Netflix is working for me if I put in on magisk's hide list. Maybe you have some files on your device that trigger these anti rooting mechanisms? Sometimes just a file or folder named magisk could be enough.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] CanadianGixxerman:
No hard feelings.

It turns out that with your instructions (1st part : Locking) I was sucessful at my aim, finally. It did whine again about the signed image requirement after line 2, I continued [9 sparsechunks though, not 5 ... ;) ], then, upon hitting «enter» after the last line [fastboot oem lock], Shazam, it locked.

You may be right about some left over garbage files [or traces of] that could still be present in the file system. I have loaded many customs roms last year on this phone, magisk and SuperSu as well.

Last but not least : Thank you.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
Good to hear it worked out for you at last.

Seems that these "unsigned" messages are nothing to worry about to much. Sorry for the "sparechunk thing", copied the wrong flashall.bat file, this is the one for Oreo :https://www.dropbox.com/s/zfh67uzfle9hsco/flashallO.bat?dl=0

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
Might be good for someone who has gone through it, to make a new write-up, with current info. The longer these phones have been out, and bootloader unlocked, the more fragmented the info gets. It gets harder to know what currently works, and what could possibly "fubar" the phone.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
What do you mean? An "locking BL guide" or something more complete like "flashing/locking/encrypting/rooting"? I'm willing to that but I have to know what you guys need.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
Sure,,,, all of it! I unlocked my first G5 plus a year and a half ago. I have hard bricked it 3 times, and now use it for a test phone, as it has an addison bootloader. My everyday G5 plus is unlocked and rooted, but I've kept it on stock roms and kernels, due to a little fear of how easily these can be corrupted. I am certainly not ignorant of most of the workings with these, even going so far as to use Qualcomm's factory utilities to dig deep inside. However, that being said, what worked when I first unlocked my original, isn't totally pertinent today. Nougat and Oreo factory roms, nougat, oreo, pie developer roms, 64 bit and 32 bit, all add to a confusing set list of what can be safely done without irreversible consequences. I've kept up on these forums for almost 2 years, but the fragmentation of guides makes it confusing enough for myself, much less a novice. Example of things that can go wrong to unsuspecting, is the loss of touchscreen with stock oreo. I haven't experienced it, but it is out there. I'm just saying it would be hugely beneficial for all, if we could get some current guides, stickied in place of our outdated ones. I have the test phone that I have put through the wringer, and am more than willing to use it as a guinea pig for any other processes that may add to the guides.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] fuzzydorito:
You're lucky you have the ability to financially purchase a second G5 Plus to use as a failsafe. When I purchased mine it was roughly around $300-400 (was brand new) so to have purchased another at the time wasn't an option, and may as well purchase a 700+ flagship with that money. To this day I've owned over 30 devices and tested well over that. Thus far only the Galaxy S2 and the Motorola G5 Plus were the only two that have surpassed a year with good stable service. I don't even purchase the phone cases cause devices are supposed to be visually appealing like cars, because tech will always be sexxy. Anyways, my point was since the Photon Q back in early 2014 to this G5 Plus, I've really liked Motorola. If you take the time the align this phone purrs. But I need to upgrade soon as.. Thinking of getting a Pixel 3 when it reaches my shores.. Anyways, it's 1:28am, goodnight.

I was able to purchase the second phone for less than $100 US, slightly used. So it was a no brainer to have a guinea pig phone.

Hi!!

I need to relock my Moto G5 Plus, because my country use a Covid App to transit trough states.

And I need it to use because I´m a essential worker. This App check the locked / unlocked devices.

I Know that Netlix do the same, but it never mattered to me to that app.

Now I really need to Re Locked my phone :(

I have tried several methods.. and doesn´t work any of them
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
You can orientate yourself by this guide but as the one is for Nougat you need to correct the number of the sparechunk files:

https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-re-lock-bootloader-of-all-potter-version.3694952/

So the first set of commands should be:

First set:

Lock.

fastboot oem lock

fastboot oem lock

fastboot flash oem oem.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot oem lock

Second set:

Flashing firmware.

fastboot oem fb_mode_set

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8

fastboot flash oem oem.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase DDR

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

fastboot reboot

Device is now full stock with locked bootloader.

For the second set of commands you can use a flashall.bat file like this:

Dropbox - File Deleted - Simplify your life

www.dropbox.com

It may look like the first set would be enough but that's not true, you have to flash the whole firmware afterwards.

Be aware that all of your internal data (apps, settings and everything you have in internal storage) will be erased so make backups of everything. Also backup all partitions with TWRP especially persist and efs!

This tutorial may help you to find the correct firmware for your device (links available) and also guide you through the flashing process of the whole firmware;

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-moto-g5-plus-flashing-stock-firmware-rooting-12-2020.4205293/

Maybe use also the tools and drivers from there.

Hey guys, I've been looking everywhere and I can't seem to find any answers.

I want to basically remove that ugly black bar where the notch is in landscape mode.

I'm not sure why Google felt like they need to hide the notch in landscape, but it's ugly. I'd feel better if they at least curved the edges to match the other side, but they don't. It's just a box.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] hanibioud:
It's ugly yes, did you find solution?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ronii1123:
Yes, the solution is to use a Magisk Module called NotchBarKiller, reboot your phone then go to Developer Options --> Display Cutout --> select Hide.

This makes your phone ignore the notch cutout and act as if it's not there.
