How to backup unlocked bootloader files?

At last I managed to repair 50% of my phone.

I flashed "whyred_global_images_V9.2.4.0.NEIMIEK_20180210.0000.00_7.1_global" version along with replacing abl.elf, pmic.elf, xbl.elf files, now touch screen of my phone is working and is in original condition ( no inverse screen at all anymore ). But blinking problem still exists. But this way at least I can use my phone to some extent. Can connect to Wifi, Can Receive/Dial calls, bluetooth working perfect. Means everything working perfect except Camera and Display which is blinking every second and I need to wait after every second to touch an option or type anything on my phone. Camera is not opening.

I can go to fastboot mode, but this time fastboot mode is working in a blank screen mode (no fastboot wallpaper on screen) but fastboot working perfect. This time I can go to Stock recovery mode by pressing Vol UP + Power Button. Can wipe data in Recovery mode. Tried to choose MiAssistant option and phone connected to my Laptop as a "adb sideload" mode. Tried to send rom.zip file via adb sideload command but getting error "adb: failed to read command: No error" and phone reboot imediately.

Tried to update my phone via Updater App, Updater App prompted me about found OTA update "V9.2.13.0.NEIMIEK", downloaded OTA, tapped on "Reboot & Update", phone rebooted, update process started, but after starting update phone reboot on initial stage and update failed and rebooted phone.

Tried to apply update by manually downloaded full rom "miui_WHYREDGlobal_V9.2.13.0.NEIMIEK_2c4578fa45_7.1.zip", process started without any error, but in the middle of progress bar phone become dead and went to EDL Mode again. I think its due to reason: when phone started writing "abl.elf, pmic.elf, xbl.elf" files then its become dead and went to EDL Mode.

Recovered it again by modified (abl.elf, pmic.elf, xbl.elf) rom "whyred_global_images_V9.2.4.0.NEIMIEK_20180210.0000.00_7.1_global" in EDL mode.

After a little research I came to know its due improper unlocked bootloader. So I tried to unlock bootloader again by "MiFlash Unlock" app, MiFlash Unlock prompted me that Bootloader is already unlocked and there is no need to unlock it again.

Just want to know is there any way I can backup my UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER and write it back to my phone???

I decied to relock my bootloader and Unlock it again. But I am afraid in doing it of "locking my bootloader forever". Because till now "Unlocked Bootloader" is the only thing exists on my phone who is allowing me to flash anything on my phone.

Kindly tell me if backing up Unlocked bootloader is possible?

Where the files "abl.elf, pmic.elf, xbl.elf" exists on my phone?

I want to replace them with original "whyred" files after rooting my phone with Root Browser. OR via adb shell commands.

Please help
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Verity.:
You can't backup ubl. Also, think twice before relocking bootloader, it's possible you'll wait for like two weeks until you can unlock it again.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] yawarniazi:
That's why I stopped myself to Relock Bootloader.:(

Any help on replacing abl.elf, pmic.elf, xbl.elf files?

I don't know where these files are stored on my device.

I tried flashing these files in fastboot mode, flashing done successful but phone goes to EDL Mode again.

fastboot flash abl abl.elf

fastboot flash pmic pmic.elf

fastboot flash xbl xbl.elf

I am near to unbrick my phone. But stucked with these 3 files. :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] yawarniazi:
Found everything like abl, pmic, xbl and persist etc etc etc....

inside /dev/block/

By using

adb shell

su

cd /dev/block

Can anybody help me in reconstructing this directory by replacing my original whyred files instead of abl.elf, pmic.elf, xbl.elf wayne files?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] yawarniazi:
Kindly help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. So many developers on this forum but no one is ready to help me. Very disappointed :(

I am fed-up now. Tried every thing to repair this phone but no success at all.

Tried Relock/Unlock bootloader. Relocked and then unlocked again successfully but no impact on phone condition.

Phone is accepting "abl.elf, pmic.elf, xbl.elf" files only from Mi 6X China (wayne).

Screen blinking behavior still exists.

Just DEAD...

I don't understand why flashing ROM friom other device. it just can cause more damage than there were really....

And the first fastboot flash, did you flashed China ou China Dev ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] devcon69:
Partitions are messed up. Luckily you have access to fastboot and recovery. Try to flash persist.img from the global rom.

Miracle box can fix the partitions but you can try with miflash again via edl. Or try flashing orange recovery and flash latest global rom with firmware.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] abhishek227:
Hey Bro do one thing download latest global dev rom (fastboot one) here and find someone with auth mi id and password and flash your device with and dont modify your firmware if you are from Mumbai message me on telegram (abhishek227) i have ufi your issue can be solved using ufi
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] yawarniazi:
I already mentioned in OP that I mistakenly flashed Tulip ROM on my whyred.

Now I have tried all flavors China, China Dev etc etc.

Only one thing can bring my phone to semi alive is flashing abl.elf, pmic.elf and xbl.elf from wayne fastboot ROM, rest of files are from whyred. Don't know exactly why this is the only possibility but its truth that nothing else is working on my phone. My phone is now half wayne and half whyred.

I made it dead very hard again and again by flashing different firmwares but whenever I flash abl.elf, pmic.elf and xbl.elf from wayne, my phone turned on again in previous flickering condition. I messed everything exist on phone like damaging Cust, persist, boot partition. But whenever I flash again by 3 files from wayne, phone become alive again but with flickering.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] yawarniazi:
Yes I am also sure that partitions are messed very badly. But no way found to repair partition table. Also tried persist.img from global, china, china dev everything failed to change flickering state.

Also tried Custom Recoveries but whenever I try to flash original whyred ROM, ROM flashed successfully but after reboot phone going to EDL again and become dead. At this stage I had to revive it again by flashing 3 files from wayne.

Can you plz guide me Miracle box way to repair partition table?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] yawarniazi:
I am from Pakistan.

Already tried "whyred_global_images_9.6.20_20190620.0000.00_9.0_global_006620721b" Global Dev ROM but no improvement.

I sent my phone to a Local shop, they have UFI, Medusa, Avengers etc like tools. They also tried to repair my phone with these tools but after spending alot of time they simply returned my phone by saying its not possible to repair this phone. I also tried with Mi Center (paid service as my phone is out or warranty now due to broken touch glass), they kept my phone for 3 to 4 days and after doing just Factory Reset they returned my phone. Believe it they didn't tried anything on it other than Factory Reset. Very disappointing Customer Service. I am sure they are dealing only Under Warranty cases by simply replacing motherboards and sending faulty motherboards back to Mi China factory. For cases out of Warranty they are charging the price equal to New Phone for a motherboard.

1 - Can you plz help me further with Mi Authorized account?

2 - Can you plz guide me UFI box method? So I can convey them and force them to try again with your method?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] kraken77:
i have an authorize account but i think it this way., since your phone can be booted to fastboot mode and as mention in step 6 to 8

"6 - I rebooted phone to fastboot mode, tried to flash "whyred_global_images_V10.3.1.0.PEIMIXM_20190522.0 000.00_9.0_global_8201319a7e" with MiFlash but can't flash due to "Product Mismatch" warning by MiFlash. Tried Mi 6X ROM and MiFlash started flashing fine.

7 - Then I flashed "boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img, system.img" files by using fastboot flash xx xxx.img commands for Note 5 Pro. Fastboot flashed all files successfully. But after rebooting phone behavior is same like blinking inverted screen and touch not working.

8 - Now I am helpless at this stage. Tried all ways to revive my phone. Nothing else is remaining as I think. No other file is remaining which I can try."

Try flashing Mi6x custom kernel after step 7 and see how its behavior goes. Try also using Orangefox recovery.

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] KRKroenen:
Hi,

yesterday I tried upgrading my Moto Z running LOS 15.1 to 16. For some reason I had to undo the full disk encryption first because my lock pattern was not recognized anymore after the update.

So I removed the encryption first, did the upgrade, booted, and enabled encryption again under LOS 16.

The phone now restarts but is then stuck in a bootloop. I'm using TWRP 3.2.3.0 as there is no newer version for the Moto Z. Has anyone seen the same or do you have any idea what went wrong here?

Kind regards

Question on how to remove the encryption

Hi, since you encrypted your phone, I have a question, My Moto Z Factory firmware comes with encryption enabled and i dont know how to disable it, if you could help me it would be great, thanks
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] KRKroenen:
Hi, you try this:

Boot into recovery.

Identify the /data device location: adb shell df /data

this will return something like: /dev/block/blabla

then: adb pull /dev/block/blabla userdata.img

Then wipe the partition.

Then unmount the partition, adb push the userdata back into it and remount.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] KRKroenen:
So i found out there's an encryptionfix.zip from Erfano. Perhaps that could also solve the problem although I have not tested yet:

Hi,

Cell: Huawei GPlay mini (CHC-U01)

Android: Android 6

EMUI version: 4.0

I formatted an SD card as private via adb (sm partition disk:179:128 private).

I had to do this because with the phone itself I couldn't format it as internal memory, despite Android 6.

Anyway, it is also somehow recognized, but unfortunately wrong.

There would only be a few MB free, just like in the "real" internal memory, but the SD is completely empty!

The installation of an app fails with the hint to too little memory.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tech_infinity:
You can flash stock rom by using lg up and kdz. Make sure you use the correct kdz file for it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
Keep in mind, KDZ flash will erase your data, so be aware of that.

We need exact phone model and firmware currently (settings, system, about phone, software info, software version)--mine is us99820h
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tech_infinity:
Nope. I don't think so.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
Yep. If you can get some kind soul on here to extract the stock recovery and turn it into a flashable zip, then you can download it, boot to TWRP, flash it, and viola -- stock recovery.

It doesn't matter what model recovery is from -- they are all the same with the EXCEPTION of the H932. If you have an H932, you must use the H932 recovery. You won't brick your phone, but you will be flashing a KDZ if you ever want to take OTAs again. Also, if you don't have an H932, do not use the H932 recovery -- same outcome.

EDIT: if your phone is rooted, you will not be able to take OTAs (the hash check will fail). So, if it is rooted, you need to unroot it (install Magisk manager) before flashing the stock recovery and taking OTAs.

hoping someone here would do that. my lg v30 model is LGM V300K. and my phone is not rooted. i just want clean and stock phone.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Ironic you wish to remove TWRP from your phone when for several months that's what we would have given large sums of money to have. Finally in May 2018, the WTF exploit allowed us to do that. You can root your phone, since you have TWRP and install recent TWRP-flashable zip based on stock firmware.

But if you wish to return for full stock without TWRP custom recovery, you will need to use LGUP to flash stock KDZ. And yes that requires a PC.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Jhei2628:
may I ask if all the roms here in this forum for lg v30 can be installed to my phone? because mine is LG V30 LGM-V300k.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I'll have to let one of the Korean users answer that. I'm not an expert on the Korean models. They have to do extra step to get TWRP, root and get radio back. So if your phone works and has TWRP then at over point in was rooted with Magisk.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Jhei2628:
Please let me know if the roms here will work with korean variant lg v30.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
If you are going to keep TWRP then I won't bother, but if you want to go back to stock let me know and it just so happens I have that KDZ sitting in my archives so I don't even need to wait 40 years for lg-firmwares.com to download ;)

Just ping me and I can make you a flashable zip that will take your phone back to stock without having to flash a KDZ.

Again, I am not going to bother right now since it sounds like you may actually want to keep your phone as is.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Jhei2628:
can I ask if i can make a kdz file to a zip file so that i can flash it on twrp? and how if i can.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
Sorry -- I just haven't had the time -- and it doesn't even take that long. I have a few minutes right now, let me see if I can throw something together for you.

Keep in mind, that I have no way of testing it. It won't brick your phone, but I might have a typo and it will just fail (I have a tendency to have typos ;P ).

If that happens, you will just have to tell me where it is failing, and I will fix it. *crosses fingers that I have no typos*

EDIT: I am not going to do something half assed. I am grabbing the latest firmware available on lg-firmwares (V300K21r) and going to make a FULL zip.

As long as you don't wipe data, even if you are on a lower version, you should be able to flash it and keep your data. I will flash all the partitions that usually get flashed when using a KDZ.

I should have it up in about an hour.....

EDIT2: It is up -- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=286970

Download and flash that in TWRP. Wipe cache / dalvik. Reboot and you will be fully stock. Again, you should only lose your data if you factory reset or wipe / format data.

Enjoy,

Hi everyone, nice people! :D

I would like to connect my "note 7" to my TV (SAM ue37d5500).

Unfortunately the TV does not appear in the Wireless screens list.

I have a micro USB HDMI cable.

I attached an adapter: micro usb-usb c but I can only power load the Note 7 but no signal is transmitted.

Does Note 7 support the MHL? has anyone tried it?

Alternatively, would you recommend some screen mirroring programs?

Thanks to all of them they will respond.

Good day!!! :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Accessories] Quaresma_7:
According to an MHL test app from the play store, it doesn't support it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Accessories] jamespmi:
Wouldn't it be easier to get a Wifi Adapter for your TV?

https://www.amazon.com/Velidy-Wireless-dual-band-WIS12ABGNX-WIS09ABGN/dp/B0785Q4J9K

Because the only solution on your phone side would be a DisplayLink Adapter which is way more expensive....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Accessories] nemo081:
But my television is already connected to the home network via Lan.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Accessories] jamespmi:
So casting is not an option?

[edit] Ups... just saw it doesn' show up on your 'cast'eable list... Then your TV doesn't support it. You will need a Chromecast or Miracast dongle... (I would go for the first)

One of my TV's is a LG Smart TV with Miracast which is pretty decent. But some features are just not available. So I bought a Mi Box S and I couldn't be happier. Chromecast built in. I don't need to cast anything as there is always an App like Netflix, Amazon etc for it on the Mi Box...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Accessories] Bananabill0002:
Personally I think if you have a computer use it with HDMI cable , is cheaper and easier to do it
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Accessories] nemo081:
I think it's the only solution.

I use the tablet, I go to the Amazon Prime site, I connect the HDMI cable and I resolve.

Any other "good quality" solution would make me spend over € 50.

It would be a good thing to have an application that transmits "everything I see on the cell screen" via DLNA.

Like a fictional video that hides the streaming of the smartphone.

But I think it takes an experienced programmer to spend a lot of time with it.

Guys:D, thanks to everyone for the info:good:. I think I'll use the tablet:cowboy:.

Good day everyone.:cool:

Good day to you
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Accessories] elliot123:
You can use a Chromecast to mirror your Android phone. It does work but it's always so easy just to cast a specific show or movie rather then a mirror.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Accessories] jamespmi:
The mentioned TV does not have Chromecast built in. Try with AllShare, Samsung's own DNLA implementation

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=miracast.mirror.screen.dongles.app

Or use a Chromecast dongle. Or even better a 'Mi Box'. It has Chromecast built in and upgrades your SmartTV functions to a whole new level.
