[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] kingbasescu:
As the title says, is speaker on left side an issue or is there any disadvantage in using the phone in landscape the other way around so the speaker doesn't get muffled?It would take time to get used to but is it not the same as using it with the speaker on the right functionality-wise?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jestyr8:
There is only one speaker on the bottom to the left of the charge port, the holes to the right are nonfunctional and just for looks
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] kingbasescu:
Oh no, that's not what I meant, I guess that's what happens when I try to use less words. I was asking if having the speaker on the left side of the phone is a deal breaker because you muffle it when gaming, and if this can be solved by holding the phone with the speaker facing the left side so you don't muffle it. Are there any quirks to holding it with the speaker to the left?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jestyr8:
Ok, sorry about the misunderstanding. Usually I just rotate the phone too the speaker is to the left or use headphones. I really haven't run into too many issues that way.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] kitcostantino:
I have issues with it....if i dont have the OP6T stereo speaker magisk mod installed. i use the "extreme" version. yes, it requires magisk, but it makes it harder for me to muffle *as bad*. even using the "extreme" vol boost version of the mod the earpiece speaker is still considerably quieter than the main bottom left speaker. but its far more tolerable.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
Can anyone tell me what this (remote: Flashing is not allowed in Lock State).

What exactly is locked? Is my cell OEM unlocked?

I flashed the wrong TWRP (for the 2017 Red Magic-NX209J) and even though I have been able to unlock my cell via CMD commands; it remains permanently in fastboot mode?

If I send a CMD command to reboot it reboots straight back to fastboot mode.

No form of ADB connect seems to work an my windows PC cannot see/show the cell?

How the hell do I fix this? It's been in this state for a week.

Can anyone help?
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] xronaldx:
Meaby try this?

Then, to unlock your bootloader, enter "fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J"

And meaby try the recovery backup instead of TWRP.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
Thanks for the suggestion. I have no recovery back up :( Is it possible to get past TWRP being locked and use CMD to flash the International or chinese ROM? Or recovery image?

Unless tools are developed to unbrick this device I am scared this problem might be permanent

Link not open bro
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
The TWRP does not work

Sorry. That link to the twrp does not result in a bootable twrp recovery for me.

I am starting to think my cell is not fixable.

I did not do that much wrong I just flashed the twrp for 2 models of red magic earlier. It only has a fastboot mode. I either get a boot screen then fastboot mode or a warning about the bootloader being unlocked.

Whatever is wrong with my cell prevents ADB connect an the cell is not able to be seen by windows.

This $1100 New Zealand dollar cellphone may be permanently bricked by my mistake.

I might just need to bin it an buy another one.

Lesson learned.

It confusing....

My cell acts like it has a softbrick (can turn off an on an has fastboot options and I have erased it an OEm an bootloader unlocked it)

And also behaves like a hard brick (resists every method of repair).

I just do not understand it or Nubia products. I am unfamiliar with this phone.

Does anyone have any clue how I can see this cell on my windows pc or ADB connect it an boot into TWRP?

Are there any Nubia repair software tools?
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] sandeepkhatri:
I already share nubia red magic 3 twrp check my all post
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
Thanks for that. I'm talking about using CMD to totally wipe everything in the cell an reflash the Chinese ROM that came with it. Repair software. Might take months to develop software like that.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
Also it isn't a zip. It's some other kind of file. And does not boot into TWRP on my unit
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] terrapin4:
So are you able to unlock your bootloader in its current state?

If you have an older TWRP installed maybe try changing the model on your bootloader command to match it:

fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX209J

If this works then flash the correct TWRP and the boot IMG from your original rom

fastboot flash recovery <new recovery>

fastboot reboot bootloader
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
Terrapin. Absolutely nothing worked. I am the 3rd person who has had this issue I know of. 2 other xda members had the same issue. One with TWRP like me an the other got stuck in fastboot mode after trying g to flash an apk of Gapps? I think these cells do not like tinkering. But your advice enabled me to be OEM and bootloader unlocked. But always.....straight back to fastboot mode no matter what I flash? My red magic 3 device is currently at a service center with a technician trying to solve the problem. I have 3 repayments left on my Xiaomi Mi9 that has zero flashing issues. O admit i.may be ignorant of the ways of Nubia ?
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] emmegitony:
I did it

I extracted the file system.img

this is what I did ....

starting from the Chinese ROM http://ui.nubia.cn/rom/detail/62

Download download necessary files https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16in6Jnyi4s5aIIuQwapQ1KK1LjysSfYm?usp=sharing

fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J

fastboot flash parameter parameter.img

fastboot reboot

fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash splash splash.img

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot reboot

enter recovery, use a FAT32 pendrive format, add Chinese ROM, rename it (update.zip) to OTG flash.

Everything works again.

good luck.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
Thank God. Maybe the Chinese service guy I'm paying will get on xda an try your idea. I'm being lazy saying that lol. Thanks very very much. I will show your post to the service guy who has my red magic 3 or try it myself.

There's no way your a junior member working all this out. I'm a junior member listed as a senior member who makes rookie flashing errors with Chinese cellphones lol.

I will share if I can implement your ideas successfully. Thanks buddy my missus really loved this phone :) I felt really bad when I incapacitated it.

Fingers crossed.....
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Alex4455:
I have no idea how did you managed to flash the system.img

Invalid sparse file format at header magi

LE: After this error, somehow it manages to continue and flash all partitions of the system, but after above tutorial, the phone still reboots in fastboot mode and cannot access recovery

[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
Thanks for the help. I do not understand some of the commands an cannot seem to get them right? And I do not understand why the instructions say to cmd flash the image (IMG) via command prompt (which just errors like the strange NON-HLOS command?) Then the instructions say to flash the Chinese rom via otg?

Are you supposed to flash the ROM twice?

Can someone please give me some more detailed instructions as this cell has been non functional about 2 months now.

Planning to fix it an give it to my partner
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] JerryYin:
Hane you fixed the phone or not?
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
No still not working. Might try again when I have spare time. Very hard cellphone to fix
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] JerryYin:
My suggestions is, download a full sd card update package, unlock the bootloader temporarily,extract the update file and flash the vbmeta.img to vbmeta partion, then flash the recovery.img to recovery partition, after that, try to boot into recovery through bootloader. You have to make sure that you use all the same file from same package, if you are use a low version vbmeta file to boot a high version system (or recovery ) it will not boot. the vbmeta is very important on this phone.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
Thanks for that idea. I do not fully understand what you are saying but will try an reread an apply your ideas when I'm less busy.

Also..

Because of this cellphones flashing issues I do not know if I would ever buy another nubia device. No cellphone should be this difficult to fix?

Fantastic idea an hardware an rediculously complex an oversensitive to flashing software.

Shame really ?
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] JerryYin:
You are completely wrong, the software is easy to fix, almost all Nubia phone can temporarily unlock the bootloader to fix the system, you just need to flash the correct firmware combination.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
Bro! I mean, BRo! You broke it by flashing the wrong thing. - 1

You cannot understand simple instructions on flashing - 2

You take no blame and instead blame the manufacturer - 3

BRO!
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
Bro. These are all assumptions?

1) I 100% accept responsibility for flashing the wrong TWRP.

2) I tried for months to fix the damage an paid a professional to try.

3) None of these things are the point!

I cannot recommend this cell or Nubia cells because they are the most difficult to repair cellphones I have ever encountered.

So if you want to leave them stock an never change them then go for it an buy a Nubia.

I however am a tinkerer an for that reason these cellphones are not for me an not for anyone who wants a fairly easy cellphone to customise: that won't be non functional for months an months if you make a single error.

Why don't you read all my posts an and all I did to try and repair my red magic 3 before you judge my one post.

Or better yet

Why don't I post the cellphone to you an you can fail to repair it for months on end then I can judge you for your incompetence an lack of responsibility.

Have a nice day

[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
I have not found this to be true at all. I think you are mistaken
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Akshaybetageri:
Download your current version Rom

Unzip it in computer

Now connect your mobile to computer in fastboot (use original cable)

Open command prompt in unzipped folder of Rom

And flash followings

fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot reboot

as soon as boot screen appears hold volume + button, now in recovery...navigate to wipe data and then wipe cache....then plug in otg usb pen drive (formatted FAT32) with Rom package .zip....navigate to update otg in recovery select it let it do its thing and walla your phone is fixed
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:

[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
tried it with EU rom and it rooted it an removed recovery so will put recovery back an try again with my china rom from May 2019.

At least I have worked out how to put recovery back lol. some img in the EU version must root it (root seems to block access to recovery or remove recovery).

so 2nd attempt lol
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
ok?

I have tried these directions countless times from both an extracted image folder an in cmd commands.

Every time I send 'fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J' it roots the device automatically which blocks access to the recovery (I believe)

How can I make these directions work?

I have tried these directions and countless others an cell is almost 3 months in fastboot or recovery mode.

What am I missing?
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
Tried again with China rom. Same deal. I now have no recovery access. Just a fastboot screen.

All the other commands in your suggestions work.

Unlocking bootloader seems to automatically root the device with all roms which locks me out of recovery.

This means I cannot boot into recovery for the final stage of flashing the zip rom.

I'm so confused ????
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] JerryYin:

Paid $65. He took it home each night an scoured xda at my suggestion for fix's an tried every suggestion.

He restored the recovery.

Every ROM he or I attempted to install failed at 25%.

I have not given up. I just wish more people would ackowledge just how hard these cellphones are to fix when things go wrong.

I must of spent about 20hrs or more on it myself.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] chocolote4444:
How did you extract system.img?
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Johnnio:
Right I had similar issues today and I'm now up and running, including getting stuck at 25%.

Get the latest Chinese and eu roms and use that system.img uploaded by a xda user.

Chinese rom (must be renamed to update.zip)

http://ui.nubia.cn/rom/detail/62

system.img

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16in6Jnyi4s5aIIuQwapQ1KK1LjysSfYm?usp=sharing

Now do this, ensure that you do the steps in this exact order:

fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J

Fastboot erase boot

Fastboot erase recovery

Fastboot erase system

Fastboot erase userdata

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot erase data

fastboot erase modem

fastboot erase dsp

fastboot erase vbmeta

fastboot erase dtbo

fastboot flash parameter parameter.img

fastboot reboot bootloader

fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J

fastboot flash splash splash.img

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img

fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin

Fastboot flash -S 100m system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot reboot

Enter recovery, delete user data and delete cache. Then install the update (eu rom) You must have named this update. zip

As for getting stuck at 25%, doing the above and using an old usb 2.0 memory stick worked for me.

Memory stick must also be formatted as fat32.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] leipnacht:
You should get the rom from the official site. Extract it on a folder.

After that you need to unpack the system.new.dat.br

Found some helpful threads here on xda on how to unpack it.

thanks. Ill try it. I just checked on here for messages. I think I bought this cell in May this year very early on. I made my mistake after the first 4 days. its been out of commission since then.

My Mi9 by comparison is super reliable an easy to fix if there are any flashing issues or mistakes.

Here goes nothing lol
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
No Luck

I think I have to wait for Nubia to develop something like 'Miflashpro'

Trtied all your advice. Still no recovery and no fixed cellphone.

Ill just put it in its box an try xda in about 6 months after some flashware an decent roms are produced by clever people.

Thanks for your help Johnnio but this cellphone cannot be fixed at this time.

No cellphone should ever be this difficult to work with or repair.

This is the reason nubia has pretty much run screaming because off all the cases like mine.

Maybe some people are more clever or intelligent than me an after weeks of struggling fixed thier red magic 3s but I am saying enough.

I cannot reccomend these cellphones an will never buy a nubia again!

The end.

[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
It's possible that my unit has a fault yes. But it worked nearly perfectly until I flash the wrong TWRP.

90 days or there about tells me I've invested too much time trying to repair my error an need to stop.

I doubt my unit is defective. It's more likely my error an lack of knowledge about Nubia.

Nubia I now consider for advanced cellphone geeks only lol.

It says 'senior member' on my profile. But I'm telling you man. The only piece of code ice ever written was to tells Linux laptop that it could play a video through a tv ?

Nubias are a bit beyond me an I do not recommend them for 'beta geeks' like me.

For Alpha geeks only.

Do not purchase ?
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
Thanks for that. Yes I agree. These units are far from simple. And ordinary geeks like me need pro help with extraodinary cellphones.

[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
You are actually willing to concede that it your intellectual failing that is the problem rather than faulty hardware?

Even when your only problem is 25% rom install failure, clearly indicating that your rom memory is faulty?

Also, why the hell did you pay nearly double for this phone?

This whole thread is a travesty to intelligent thought, especially with the ending "Don not purchase."

You know what, buddy? You deserve this pain.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
You know what. Perhaps I do. :) 25% ROM failure is extremely common for this unit. The same issues with this cell have been experienced by heaps of purchasers. You do realise I live I'm New Zealand? The cell was $900NZD and $200 import duty. Plus $65 for more experienced cellphone repair professional who tried for 3 weeks to repair the cell an also failed.

Apart from the snotty intellectually superior attitude an massive quantity of assumptions. ROM memory failure is something I haven't heard of an might be useful?

Like I've already stated. I do not recommend Nubia if you are an average geek. These are advanced cellphones.

And do not play nice if you make errors. I don't know if I will ever buy another one.

But you never know.....

Thank you for your input kind sir
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
I am sorry. But now you just made disinformation of the worst kind.

You even misinterpreted your own quote. Your rom stops installing at 25% progress. Not 25% of rom install failure.
