***WARNING*** — Magisk 16.7 install bricked my R2; no way to recover it...?

Hi, all. First, thanks for everyone's contributions in figuring out TWRP and root for the R2. Unfortunately after carefully following the updated guide in the "[Recovery][Kernel] Install TWRP, remove encryption, and get Magisk on the Visible R2" thread (also referencing this thread), my R2 seems to have been permabricked by the Magisk 16.7 install, despite disabling the forced encryption first. :( If anyone who might have insight into a way of unbricking my phone could take a look at my posts in that thread, I would much appreciate it — I've tried just about everything, to no avail.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dib Membrane:
Was able to recover my R2; now have working root with Magisk 16.7

[MENTION=3540215]FEGuy[/MENTION] helped me get my R2 working again (details on page 9 of the "[Recovery][Kernel] Install TWRP, remove encryption, and get Magisk on the Visible R2" thread). I misunderstood the thing about only having a few seconds to start flashing the device after it connects to the PC in EDL mode. I was thinking the timer started when you plugged in the USB cable, but now I see it starts when the device switches to EDL, irrespective of whether you unplug/replug USB after that.

I still was not successful in reflashing the factory B10 or B12 ROMs, as I get this from QFIL:

{ERROR: Didn't properly read the sparse_header!
[i][…][/i]
Download Fail:FireHose Fail:FHLoader Fail:Process fail

However, I haven't yet tried flashing the factory ROMs with TWRP or MiFlash, as it turns out I don't need to reflash the original firmware for now; reflashing TWRP with QFIL with correct handling of that critical time-window after the DFU → EDL switch got my R2 going again.

Hi, can this rom of the ZTE R2 Visible work for the ZTE Blade A4 (0722)?

It is practically the same chassis but the A4 uses the SD435.

For 5 months ago I managed to install the TWRP from the Chinese ZTE forum and since that time I have been using rom gsi de phusson.

The problem I want to solve is to install a ZTE stock firmware that is 100% multilanguage, since the store sent it to me 80% translated.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ryan0720:
Is there a stock ROM file to flash in twrp?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HedGui:
Hi

Visible hardware only supports connecting to one device. You must connect to a dedicated device which splits the signal across multiple devices. At the rate IP management fails in ipv6 environments networking professionally this reduces their support needs when consumers are limited one device per access. Your highest speeds will always be on the host device, DNSchanger necessary on guest devices to disenchant the mobile signal identifier. It's designed more to work with a smart car than a smart home or even smart user.

Help! I currently have two R2's that I use for hot spots . Both are rooted and have been working great for months. The one I upgraded to Android 9 has TWRP installed. Visible pushes updates and auto reboots. This past update caused a boot-loop and if I boot to recovery, it also loops (hangs at the TWRP Blue intro screen). I can't find a way to access EDL to recover. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Sorry, should've thought to post in this thread too, but last month I uploaded copies of the now-404 files from the OP of the following thread, including the B12 firmware, on [Recovery][Kernel] [8.1] Install TWRP, remove encryption, get Magisk on Visible R2, page 8.

Unfortunately I don't have any tips off the top of my head, but I don't think you should be getting errors about footers and signatures being wrong. You could try downloading the mirror copies of the files I posted on that other thread, to make sure your original copies aren't corrupted (I also posted checksums, so you could check that way).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dib Membrane:
Oops, you're right; I didn't reupload the B12 firmware since its Google Drive link is currently working: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iP1Iw0VSmHjN0K22rViCayEpJKz2JlF1/view.

Looking again at the other thread, I'm reminded that I couldn't get a 200 MB file attachment (ROOT ZTE Z835.zip) to upload successfully, so I don't think it'd be possible to attach a ~2 GB file, unfortunately. If you can manage to download it from Google Drive, 368480B1860Z5151VSBLV1.0.0B12.zip's SHA-1 checksum should be 0b4bef3c5da70c8bad15ca12dd0dd201acca1a1e.

I'm afraid I'm incredibly busy at the moment, but when I have a chance, I'll try reuploading that 200 MB file now that I have my Visible connection up again, and if it works, I'll see if I can upload the 2 GB firmware overnight (and if that works, I'll do a copy of the B10 too).

[Miscellaneous Android Development] glebanych:
Hi. I was able to unbrick my device multiple time with this + MiFlash (this version).

The first tool will boot you into EDL but the COM port will become unresponsive after ~7 seconds of idling. So first you need to set everything up in MiFlash (choose the folder with unzipped B10/B12 firmware, choose "clean all" at the bottom of MiFlash), boot into EDL with the first tool, quickly click "refresh" in MiFlash and finally click on "flash".
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dib Membrane:
Thanks, glebanych. Yeah, whoopshouldntve, note that the most baffling and tenacious stumbling block I faced when I was recovering my bricked R2 was due to me misunderstanding when that ~7-second window occurs. See my post #83 ("Successfully recovered my R2 thanks to QFIL timing tip; now have root via Magisk 16.7") in the "[Recovery][Kernel] [8.1] Install TWRP, remove encryption, get Magisk on Visible R2" thread (and thanks again to FEGuy for steering me in the right direction on the timing window issue).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] glebanych:
Correct, set up ZTE+DFU from recovery.

Hmm, maybe try installing other drivers from here? I also think some of those are unsigned, so disabling driver signature enforcement could help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :

[Miscellaneous Android Development] glebanych:
Unzip the archive go to Control Panel -> Device Manager. Find your phone there (could be shown as "Android Phone", "ZTE", etc), right click -> Properties -> Driver -> Update driver -> Browse my computer for files. Choose the folder with unzipped files.

P.S. I bricked my phone right now just to try it from scratch on another PC without any ZTE/Qualcomm-related drivers/apps. I used QDLoader HS-USB Driver_64bit and ZTE_Android_USB_Driver_003Z drivers, MiFlash, ZTE+DFU_MultiDL_A2017X_Tool, B12 firmware. All went smooth and my R2 is working again now but I also forgot to mention that you have to delete couple of string in rawprogram0.xml after unzipping stock firmware to avoid getting errors in QFIL/MiFlash. Open that file with notepad and remove 2 strings that mention "userdata" and "ddr".

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dib Membrane:
I've been tenaciously sticking to Windows 7, and then Windows 8.1 when 7 got EOL'd, so I've never tried this on Windows 10. Out of curiosity, @glebanych, what version of Windows did you do your above test on?

@whoopshouldntve: Sorry I wasn't able to be more help. Good luck with the Pixel. For the most part my R2 is still serving me nicely, but I had to do a web-page-based video chat thing the other day, and the R2 was PAINFULLY slow, so yeah, I look forward to upgrading too, when I can afford it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maddmatt:
So I'm trying to see if i can get my USB DAC (Audioengine D3) playing nicely with my phone (Oneplus 6).

It works, except the max volume is not very loud. From some research it seems this is because Android is not adjusting the USB HW volume but only SW volume.

This seems to be the case. Max media volume on my phone is roughly what I gt from my PC at 50% Windows volume.

So I've read that USB Audio Player pro can adjust hardware volume, and when you adjust it in the app, the setting affects other apps. I haven't tried myself because the app is $11...

So from that I guess this app must be sending a command in Android that's controlling it's USB audio volume.

What I want to know is.. how? What's the command? With that information we can potentially make a simpler script or app that can do this. Perhaps even automatically when the USB device is connected.

Does anyone know, or can anyone advise how to find out? Perhaps there is some logging that can catch what the app is doing?

I'm not experienced with Android development so I'm not sure how easy it would be for an Android dev to reverse engineer.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Ebeninyo:
Hi, this one is because of your TWRP. Please flash Codework's TWRP and try that with it. It should solve your issue for sure. (same thing happened to me while I tried installing custom roms and every time I needed to wipe everything to see my internal storage again)

This guide can help you out with Error 7 on TWRP https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2522762

I do believe your this issue you're having caused by TWRP. Also after rooting the phone, install magisk app. (you don't need to install supersu, it comes with magisk). After rebooting into system reboot your phone again once more it should show up on magisk app that you've successfully rooted your phone. Remember after flashing magisk you need to reboot twice in order for phone to realize it. Please try the steps I told you and let me know.

Also you don't need to flash dm-verity patch at all.

Try clean flash instructions with Codework's TWRP and root it with latest Magisk.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
For 5.1.7 try this twrp https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UlTftbe6wooAs4Fp0cjwXlOKmfQHgdfL/view?usp=drivesdk along with magisk 17.1.

Clean flash is recommended. If it didn't help, please list your steps again(detailed).

Don't use supersu and skip the other suggestions for now please.

Hi, yesterday I decided to give Pie a try coming from the current MIUI beta release. So I booted into TWRP (the official one, and it's not installed into the device either), cleaned everything save for the microSD card and flashed one of them. It could have been Syberia, Bliss, Bootleggers or RR, I went through them all at some point.

Rebooting brought me to a working system, but for some reason the OS thinks there's only 8GB out of the 32 the device has for internal memory. I just noticed because today I woke up to a low space warning, otherwise it would have gone unnoticed.

I tried reverting back to MIUI beta and flashing anew, but the same thing happened. Has anybody come across this? Is there anything else that needs to be done, like repartitioning or something, to use a Pie distribution?

Thanks for your time, it's much appreciated.

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] metelhammer:
Check first internal storage data you have, such as you have downloaded ROM(s) Gapps or any other huge files.

Clear cache from storage since you are on MIUI it is easy to clean up in storage sometimes cached files goes in GB.

Run storage cleaner from security app and see which are huge files takes space in your phone. i remember when i use to use MIUI when flashing MIUI though recovery it would create a 3+ GB of file(don't know why) which wasnt even showed in file manager unless it scanned through security app (cleaner). cleaner shows big files in phone.

other than that i would recommend backup first your all data and make clean flash formatting everything once via mi flash tools it will fix your problem. and then go for custom ROM of your choice(yes, you'll need to unlock bootloader again since mi flash tools will locks bootloader but it'll get unlocked easily since you've already unlocked it and later does not requires unlocking permissions)
