The script got stuck in middle of step 9. After a long time I just pulled the tablet out.

The tablet screen is now blank. I unplugged the battery, but it didn't help anything.

I am using linux on a vm on my MacBook. It shows that its plugged in. Its plugged into the vm. It connects under the name vender 0e8d - comunication.

Problem is the tablet is is not connecting with adb so no commands work.

What are my options?
[Fire General] xyz`:
Not to worry, it is easily fixed. Get a live USB with Linux, disconnect the battery, and do steps 5 to 9. At this point you should see the success message; unplug the device, connect the battery, plug it back in and do the rest of the steps (once you plug in USB, it should automatically boot into fastboot mode and you will be able to proceed starting with step 11).

[Fire General] MatildaStuck:
Stuck no more

It was a path issue -- adb was not accessible where I was working from.

For others who do not commonly use linux, and who are struggling - I used linuxMint-19.2.iso which I put on a stick with rufus-3.7.exe. Made a new vanishing folder (on the desktop of mint)where I extracted needed file. I also had the steps open in the background so I could copy and paste commands and avoid typos.

[SOLVED] - see below:

So what would one do if one forgot the "don't update Magisk from Android" warning in the OP? I am having some real difficulty working that out / finding a solution - see my other thread here

Thank you for the guide by the way - my F7 is much better now it has been rooted (some SWAP space made all the difference to usability)

[SOLVED]: If you "accidentally" update magisk in Android - you need to carry out steps 15 onward of the root thread to get back to a working state - and don't do it again!

new to this, does this work on windows 10? also im having trouble with "Transfer the executable to your tablet: "adb push arm/mtk-su /data/local/tmp". has anyone made a video on this?
[Fire General] MatildaStuck:
New to this also but have struggled through

This is the video that lead me here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McW6TCIYRYg

It walks through getting temporary root and clearing (disabling) some unwanted software. It works in a power shell of windows 10 if you have the windows version of adb.

There is a guide to installing platform-tools here: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/

Also, make sure it is accessible from the location your PowerShell (Shift + right click & select) or terminal is open in. That caused me several hours of confusion. Here is the guide for that https://www.xda-developers.com/adb-fastboot-any-directory-windows-linux/

I am not sure if the whole process would work in windows. I used linux mint 19.2 iso which I put on a usb drive with Rufus 3.7.exe

Hope that helps. Good luck! It is worth it, I no longer hate my fire.
[Fire General] wodgey:
The script that's run after wiping the bootloader partition won't run in Windows but the adb push command will. Because the path isn't explicitly stated in the command you've posted, you'll need to be sitting within the folder where the files you want transferring are located. (You'll need to cd to the directory within cmd or powerscript. I've had certain versions of ADB for Windows requiring elevated permissions sometimes, other times not)

I've read that the script can run within the "windows subsystem for Linux" (counter-intuitive naming there) so long as you've got the game versions of adb\fastboot installed on both Windows and the Linux subsystem.

I use Linux mint on my laptop full time, so I've not needed to explore further if this claim is correct (although I can't see why it wouldn't work)

[Fire General] nicobar:
can't see micro-SD from TWRP

Hi,

I followed the software method and succesfully installed TWRP 3.2.3-0

From it I did advanced wipe and wiped everything

I then inserted a micro-SD card in which I copied a custom ROM zip file, but for the sake of me I cannot mount it in TWRP! I turned off and on several times, tried different SD card freshly formatted, and I cannot see them.

When I go to Mount where I can select the partitions to mount, I see:

System

Vendor

Data

Cache

Storage

Storage

Storage

the three last 'Storage' cannot be selected.

The 'Enable / Disable MTP" button does not seem to be doing anything. Same for check/uncheck "Mount system partition read-only"

so I cannot see the SD card with the ROM zip in it.

I also cannot mount the internal storage in Linux Mint 19.2: omni-mustang shows among the devices when plugged-in and booted into TWRP, but when I click on it Linux says "Unable to mount omni mustang", "unable to open MTP device". "adb devices" shows it in recovery mode.

How do I get to see SD card, or alternatively mount the internal storage?

Thank you so much in advance to whoever can give me a hint!
[Fire General] Kramar111:
[MENTION=3265233]nicobar[/MENTION]

adb push customROM.zip /sdcard/

Where sdcard its internal memory
[Fire General] nicobar:
It worked, thanks!

As an ending note, I upgraded TWRP to 3.3.1, and this version sees the SD card. Perhaps the amonet unlocking procedure can be updated to include it.

I bought 2 tablets, and the first one went smooth as silk using the software method. Trying the same method for the second one and it's giving me fits. Each time it fails, I cancel the script, re-run it, and then hold the power down for 30 seconds to restart the tablet. I'm using LiveUSB with Ubuntu 18.04. I've tried restarting the computer (and tablet) multiple times. Here is the output:

[Fire General] wodgey:
You need to get to the settings app to enable 'developer settings' to enable USB debugging.

That's it. I didn't even connect to WiFi when my device arrived before pushing the su-mtk via ADB.

(Click into a wireless network, as if you're going to enter the WiFi password, then cancel it. This should allow you to skip connecting)

How do I get the device to show? I selected "Transfer Files" for the "Use USB to" option but in the OP it does not specify :confused:

I am using LinuxMint 19.2 and I am following the steps to the T in the OP.

Never mind... I went for a long walk and when I came back I was able to get to tablet to ask "do you want to allow the PC to connect", once I clicked always the rest of the way went smoother than I could believe and I have Team Win 3.2.3-0 on the tablet! SWEET!!!

Hi there,

I've just attempted this guide to get a mustang fire 7 unlocked and ready for a custom ROM. I got to the point where the next step is to use the amonet-mustang.zip, but I realised the link was dead for it, so I didnt have it on my ubuntu install. I've since found the zip needed. I switched off the tablet to save battery while I was waiting for the files to download, and when I go to turn the tablet back on. It wont boot up, doesnt react to a charge cable or anything?

Have I killed the tablet? I tried taking the back off and removing the battery power connector and then reconnecting, but that hasnt worked either. Is there anything else I can try to bring it back to life?

Thanks!
[Fire General] Rortiz2:
You bricked it for the unlock. Just unpack amonet run script and connect the 'dead' tablet. Is normal.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Sup3rN1c:
Hi guys, I need your help.

I've tried to update the rom with the latest beta Omnirom (30/06), directly from TWRP.

All the steps I followed, hoping it's usefull:

- removed the PIN from the system;

- made a full backup (from TWRP);

- installad latest vendor;

- installed latest Omnirom beta;

- wipe caches;

- reboot.

The phone is in bootloop; ufortunately, plus in TWRP the touchscreen is unresponsive and I have to reboot until it works.

I tried to flash just the rom beta or to restore the backup, without success.

EDIT: after flashing a older vendor and, again, Omnirom, the phone booted.

I don't know if it's related or not, but now, every app that I open, I see it in rotated horizontally, also if I have disinibited the rotation!

Any idea?

Thanks a lot,

Nic.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] BentMetal:
I never recommend dirty flashes.

I would say that your problem is more than likely because you didn't wipe the system clean and start fresh.

Since you've already made backups of your data, I would suggest trying these steps:

Boot to TWRP

Format data, type yes to confirm

Go back to wipe / advanced

Select everything except USB and SD card.

Swipe to wipe.

Go back to the main menu.

Reboot to recovery.

Now flash the latest firmware, ROM, gapps

Also flash DFE if you want to disable the encryption.

Wipe cache when done.

Reboot.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Sup3rN1c:
Thank you BentMetal.

As you see from the EDIT, I solved the problem flashing a older vendor and the same updated rom.

For the other problem (screen rotation), solved by disabling display setting (auto rotate) and re-enabling again.

Now I just need to remove the touch screen freezing problem... very annoying.

It's a specific issue about a part of Pocophone who use a different touch screen.

Nic.
