[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Bobbite:
Hello, been trying for a few hours today to unlock the bootloader to then install a GSI (RR) on my mix 3. I have activated usb-debugging and have the authorisation I believe, the phone gets detected on Mi Unlock (sometimes) and when I try and unlock, it either says "Device Unlocked" but it's not and the verification actually failed, or it gives me error -1 (Couldn't verify device.).

I have also added my Mi account in the developer options but not sure it does anything apart from saying "success".

I've read that I might have to install a dev rom to be able to do it? Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Do you have a Ryzen CPU? If so, that's a known issue, you simply need to use another PC.

I am having the same issue. Why is Rhyzen computers giving problems. I have a Huawei matebook D
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] ambitiousButRubbish:
Firstly make sure that you are connecting it to a USB2 port, USB3 won't work, and secondly make sure all relevant developer settings are active (OEM unlocking, USB debugging and USB debugging security settings) and try again
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Bobbite:
I do actually have a Ryzen CPU. I wasn't aware of that. Thanks that explains it!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Bobbite:

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
I can't understand how this issue works. What chipset drivers are people using? What CPU's are people using? What motherboards are people using? What OS is everyone using?

I am more than happy to help those having this issue troubleshoot it. My device should be delivered by the 23rd and I only have Ryzen systems. I keep my systems up to date though.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] fisk4rn:
I also experienced this issue. I just got my mi mix 3 today and when I went to unlock it it says that it is unlocked but also that the verification failed so it isn't unlocked at all :(

My cpu is a ryzen 5 1600x
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] JetzNicht:
Worked fine with my 2600x, only problem was that my pc only has usb 3.0 ports. But using an old USB 2.0 hub worked. It seems as the USB 3.0 ports do not work.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] p-we:
I just waited 360 hours and unlocked a new Mi8 dipper as I have done with 5 Xiaomi phones previously. Everything looks normal. MiUI v10 says it is unlocked. With USB debugging activated the device code shows up with the 'adb devices' command. However when it comes to actually modifying the bootloader in Fastboot mode things look very locked in place. In the terminal console 'abd devices' command shows no devices. Similarly when trying to load TWRP with 'fastboot flash recovery TWRP. img' command it searches to find no device and ends with a fault. I have tried with 3 different USB-C cables on three different PC's. Two with Windows 10 with ADB tools and another on current ArchLinux with 4.20 kernel and ADB tools.

Incidentally, my wife has an untouched and therefore unlocked Pocophone F1. It does the same thing as above.

Has anyone heard of such a tbing? Is it possible that Xiaomi thinks this phone has been unlocked when in fact the bootloader is still locked?

As far as a fix goes,the unlock tool says its locked and won't try again to unlock it. This would be utterly painful were it not for Lawnchair launcher coming to the user experience rescue.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] khanhdx:
It is your computer, try to reinstall adn, driver, etc,..

If bootloader is locked, you still can type fastboot devices, but cannot flash anything with the error that you dont have permission to edit partiton.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] p-we:
Thanks. Will try again in different variations. A few questions:

1. Is it advisable or not advisable to use a USBv3 or 3.1 port instead of USBv2 ?

2. I have tried a few different Windows 10 drivers from various sources. Can you recommend any specific driver for Xiaomi?

Thanks for helping. I will be very disappointed if I can't mod this phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] khanhdx:
I think no different between USB2 and USB3 in this case.

Try uninstall all driver and app related to xiaomi.

Then Disable Signed Driver Enforcement.

Then install latest Miflash: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html (file at step 1)

Then open Mi Unlock folder (the one u found MiUnlock.exe), hold Shift + right click, select open PowerShell here.

Type cmd, enter.

Reboot phone to fastboot, connect to pc.

Type fastboot devices, enter.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] p-we:
I think I'm close. I installed MIFlash and installed drivers. I now see the device ID in Windows PowerShell in fastboot mode which I did not have before:

C:\Users\wdirk\Downloads\miflash_unlock-en-3.3.827.31\miflash_unlock_en_3.3.827.31>fastboot devices

46265bfe fastboot

But when I enter 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' (the twrp.img file is in the same directory), the phone immediately goes to another mode (no fastboot logo with very small text on top left of screen) and nothing happens. So fastboot sees the device but will not write twrp recovery. Ideas?

So I tried Minimal ADB and Fastboot again. Positive that the device shows up:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot devices

46265bfe fastboot

But goes into blank screen with very small text on top left with more inforation this time:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

target didn't report max-download-size

sending 'recovery' (41796 KB)...

FAILED (command write failed (No error))

finished. total time: -0.000s
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] khanhdx:
I never face any case like this. So maybe i can help you.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ShafiX94:
Try install different version of TWRP maybe can help..
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] p-we:
Very strange but I followed your steps on another PC in exactly the same way and now it has flashed TWRP successfully. It did require using blue USB3 port

Thank-you! :good:
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] neuTrue:
Glade to hear you solved it. :)

For the record: I had the exact same problem as yours. If I recall correctly, the only thing I had to do was to rename the recovery file to: recovery.img then wait a minute or so. Which is strange, but worked.

First tried to boot Pitchblack recovery when it succeeded then tried it with TWRP (recovery.img).

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsongming:
I am glad that you sorted your issue.

But I can assure you that the issue was strictly caused by your PC. It truly should not matter which USB port you use. We have 3 Mi8 in our house and I have unlocked 2 of them using an older laptop with a broken usb 3.0 port.

For the benefit of others who may experience this issue.

Always. remove peripheral devices from the PC such as an external hard drive, when perform tasks such as unlocking the bootloader or unbricking a phone.

Windows should be up to date and I can tell you that professionally, we absolutely require that people temporarily disable windows defender and antivirus when attempting to resolve these kinds of issues, as you are indeed affecting the bootloader of the device.

Windows antivirus will often remove files that it miscategorises as a virus. In example, if you attempt to download and install the All In One Tool, windows defender will neuter the software 90% of the time.
[General Questions and Answers] ryevick:
I have an LG Stylo 2 Plus via T-Mobile and I have tried what seems like every single app made trying to get an audible, wake your ass up, a tornado is near you alert and I have had zero results. I know this because I travel a lot and have been through many severe storms. Years ago my HTC One M8 worked great! I don't remember the app I was using and I was with Verizon then but I remember being in a meeting with about 60 other people and my phone let out a spoken National Weather Service Alert with all of the trimmings including a list of counties, direction of the tornado, etc. No one else's phone made a peep and I got a lot of questions following the meeting.

The most I have been able to get is a Push Notification, which could be read after they pull me out from under the rubble.

Please help!

Actually you can turn off Wi-Fi in Bixby routines.

Go to a routine, edit, in "then" select add or plus, Wi-Fi, select "on" or "off".

You can set it up upon leaving "X" location, turn off Wi-Fi or you can do it by a specific time to turn it off :)

I don't think windows mobile supports the AVRCP profile. (Audio Visual Remote Control Protocol) Can anyone confirm this?

My car stereo supports it, and if my handheld did, I could control the media player with my car stereo.

Hmmm, CorePlayer says that the profile is supported, but I can't seem to control anything with my car stereo...

Notice others are having this issues since the latest update.

- I take a picture on my phone, turns out great, then I go to access it later, and more than half the picture has a grey block over it! I don't have a photo editor installed and I'm not cropping the pics. But it keeps happening.

The few that show up in my album, once I click on it to expand it turn gray with white explanation mark like the others.

Is this a defect ? I saw on other forum that people have this issue. My issue just started and I have had my phone for over 1 year with no problems unitl now

Any help would be appreciated, as I've lost a couple of photos that I'd like to get back!

[General Questions and Answers] AntumDeluge:
I'm sorry if this isn't the best spot to post this. I haven't found a forum dedicated to this device.

I'm looking for a direct download of the stock ROM, or at least the update zip for Android 5.1.1 (or perhaps any update zip), for the Verizon Ellipsis 8 (QTAQZ3). I have soft bricked it (doesn't get past the Verizon splash/loading screen). I want to attempt to unbrick it & am not having success finding many resources. It does not have a custom recovery installed & I have not found a successful way to unbrick it yet.

It is not under warranty. I am the second owner, it was given to me (I managed to brick it within a few hours of receiving it). I have tried the following:

Launching recovery & reformatting to factory defaults & cache (multiple times).

Restarting in safe mode by holding volume down with power (does the same thing, doesn't get past splash screen).

Removing back of device & disconnecting battery (for at least an hour or more).

I'm not sure what else to do other than try to flash the original stock ROM or try re-installing the 5.1.1 update via sideload in the recovery menu. But I haven't been able to find any direct downloads for the aforementioned. If anyone has either of these, or knows where I can get one of them, I would really appreciate a link. I have looked around on Verizon's support website. I understand that the manufacturer of the device is Quanta Computer (I can't post links yet: quantatw dot com), But I couldn't find any information on this specific device from their site.

Edit: I have also read through some threads here on the XDA forums, but haven't found a working solution. I manged to brick it by using Kingo Root.

Edit: On another note, I have gone into the recovery & selected "apply update from ADB", which brings up the prompt "Now send the package you want to apply to the device with 'adb sideload <filename>'...". However, ADB on my system (Linux) is not recognizing the device:

$ adb devices
List of devices attached

$ adb shell
error: device '(null)' not found

When it is stuck on the boot/splash screen, my system recognizes it as "QTAQZ3", but cannot mount it (and ADB still does not recognize it). The error reported is "Unable to mount QTAQZ3, Unable to open MTP device '[usb:002,x]'". Though, I cannot seem to find its file under /dev.

Edit: Ah, just found its device file /dev/libmtp-2-2, which is a symlink to /dev/bus/usb/002/x ("x" changes every time I plug it in or restart it).

$ lsusb
...
Bus 002 Device x: ID 0408:3882 Quanta Computer, Inc.
...

Edit: I forgot about another thing I tried. I found this comment on Reddit: "Whats worked for me is when you do the factory reset and its stuck on that splash screen is to hold the power and both volume buttons until it turns off and then power it back on." Did not work for me though.

I have a QTAQZ3 currently running 4.2.2. I captured the OTA url and downloaded an update bin file. I'm not exactly sure how bins compare to flashable zips, nor do I know what to do with a bin file. It seems as though this file has been hard to come by. I am hoping that by posting it, someone with the right know-how can help us fix all these bricked tablets.

[General Questions and Answers] bxlentpartyon:
Good idea/good work on this. I hadn't thought to look for a flash tool for similar devices (though I haven't tried all that hard to unbrick my tablet).

Can you share the link to this firmware?

It's likely just a plaintext file - just a coincidence that MATLAB wanted to digest it without complaining (guessing this is on Windows?). Anyway, it looks like it just specifies how/where to load the various images contained in the firmware you downloaded. It is may be possible to hack it to work with different firmware, but I'm worried a bit about the bits that I snipped out from above - if that Boot_Flash_Signature or the UniqueID is generated from something that is flashed on the device, it might be difficult/impossible to hack a file that will play nice with the QTAQZ3.

Do you have those backup files available? Those will be necessary in order to figure out how to hack up the blf file to properly flash the image (if that is indeed possible).

This is somewhat promising, in that it looks like it attempted to flash, but that the system was busy. Was your device spinning at the Verizon boot screen, or sitting at the Factory Reset menu that you get when you power on while holding the volume button? If it was actually trying to boot (i.e. sitting at the Verizon screen) then that may be why this returned busy.
[General Questions and Answers] njmcinty:
I must say, I never expected to hear back from anyone of this post. By now, if anyone was really that attached to their old verizon tablet, they could have bought another off ebay for $30. Nevertheless, it is nice to see there is another person who hasn't COMPLETELY given up hope on their device.

Yes, eventually. It's actually on my old computer at my parent's house. I thought I had it backed-up on my OneDrive, but I do not. I'll be visiting again shortly, so I will grab it then and upload it. I would share the link to the site I originally downloaded it from, but my feverous googling escapade is no longer in my retrievable browser history.

Completely valid concerns. I remember there being another device that used a similar hardware set (HP CoolPad or something, found firmware repair videos on YouTube). In the videos, people were using the same flash tool, with very similar files. The blf file from the two devices only had minor differences (eMMc size, RAM... ) if I recall correctly. If interested, I can look into those videos again. I may have made a spreadsheet at some point indicating differences in the two, but I'll have to look for it. To address your concern, I cannot recall if these identifiers were the same or different.

Same answer as above, I'll grab them next time I am home. I can't recall what method I used to pull them, but I remember it being a pain with this device, so I hope the images I have are valid. If not, With guidance, I may be able to acquire more as I still have the working tablet.

Interesting question, more interesting answer: neither. If I recall correctly, to get to the stock recovery on this device, you held power and volume up. To get the device to be recognized as the WTPTP device, I had to either hold the volume down button and plug in the USB OR hold the power and the volume down, then plug in USB. Both of these may have worked, but my memory fails me. The device screen did not light up or change when I entered this mode. There was only a chime on my PC indicating a device was connected, and a listing for WTPTP device in Device Manager.

I'll work on getting the requested files, but until then, it may be helpful for me to review what I've done already. I also found some GitHub pages from that mention these devices or similar ones.

https://github.com/android-Marvell: This may contain helpful tools. I may have tried playing around with this, but I'm not a programmer and barely know what GitHub is lol.

https://github.com/jonthn4411/aabs: This is a fork of another page I found that appears to be gone know. Has information that looks like it might relate to our SoC.

PS: According to this press briefing, it looks like our SoC (PXA1088LTE) is commonly called PXA1920, so if you see any differences, this may be why.
[General Questions and Answers] bxlentpartyon:
I have been periodically checking for new info on this thing since I softbricked it in 2017 - this is the only actual promising thread I've seen the whole time... Unfortunately, I recently moved and can't locate my bricked tablet right now - honestly I may have thrown it away during the move because I've burned so much time trying to fix it. If I don't end up finding it, I'll likely burn $30+ to grab a couple non-bricked ones to play with (they weren't nearly that cheap/readily available when I bricked mine, IIRC). At this point I'm willing to shell out the cash just to claim victory over the stupid thing.

Sounds good - no rush obviously (doubt anybody else cares at this point), but it would be good to have a valid image/descriptor file to try to tear apart.

The videos could certainly be helpful. Let me know if you find those. Even if those fields are somehow generated from something on the device, we might be able to coax the flash tool into divulging the information we need - it has to know where to find the stuff, after all.

Good to know! The flash failing with "device busy" makes me want to think the device wasn't in the correct state or something, but, depending on the complexity of the executable (and my ability to remember how to live-debug on Windows) we might be able to glean some more information about what's going on by tearing into the flashing program.

Well, you seem to be more capable than many who dabble with this stuff, so I'd take that as a point of pride, despite not being a programmer :) I'm quite well acquainted with banging on low-level hardware stuff, so hopefully with a little more research and hackery we can get closer to a solution.

Cool - I'll take a look at those, and maybe get a couple tablets ordered. Even if I can't get a bricked one (odd to think about wanting a bricked tablet), having a working one could very well lead to a way to unbrick them. I wish I'd seen this thread back in January, because I certainly would've kept better track of the tablet if I had :)

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

Just ordered two tablets - one working, one with a boot loop. They were depressingly close in price for the one being damaged and non-working, but whatever. If I defeat the thing it will be worth it.

Hi there. I'm new. Great post and questions. I too have bricked my tablet and trying to find resolution. I just downloaded your bin file. Thank you so much. Can you provide a site or pdf instruction on how to install on my tablet.
[General Questions and Answers] bxlentpartyon:
Unfortunately, if you look closely at the previous replies, we haven't figured out a way to install the OTA update binary onto a bricked tablet - in fact, I'm not sure if there is one. I've been waiting for the full backup that njmcinty mentioned, but they haven't gotten back about that yet. I do have a functional tablet available, along with 2 bricked ones to test on. I haven't taken the time yet to try to back up my functional one as I believe the process to do so could lead to it being bricked as well...
