[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Papagaj:
Timmmmaaahh I am so glad to see you on my thread! I learned fundamentals of flashing on your guides back in Bacon days, and never bricked it even once! But this A/B partitions really gave me headaches....

It is highly likely that drivers are causing problem, I tried to flash it with msm tool on fresh windows where I let it to automatically download required drivers and the msm progress appear to be same as when I used drivers which are recommended by msmtool developer. I will try several more and will be back with results within few hours.

Is there a way to backup IMEI and WIDEVINE L1 at this moment? I think it is highly unlikely because functionality is limited to EDL only....

Or is there a way I can restore it later if I manage to fix a device with smt mode?

How do you mean? I can't get phone connected with msm tool if it is not in EDL mode.. It is not recognized when in stock recovery, bootloader or trying to boot up OS, that is only three states this phone can be at the moment.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Tech_Savvy:
Nope....just rewrite you IMEI with a Qualcomm tool..quite a few available
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] GeekMcLeod:
Oh. The few times I used it I just powered off my phone and connected it to my computer. Started msm tool and it did its thing.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Timmmmaaahh!:
You and me both! ? lol...

I recently got stuck in a weird bootloop thing with a, what i think was, corrupted boot.img. Try finding a stock android boot.img, boot to fastboot, and run the command fastboot flash boot <boot.img> on both partition A and B. If you can't find a stock boot.img, i managed to find one and can link to a download.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Papagaj:
All right, here is the situation.

I finally managed to boot up the phone. amt911 gave working instructions on post #10. Thank you bro, you are awesome, and Thank you Tech_Savvy for confirming the method, you are badass who deletes partitions just for fun!

All right I got the phone booted up but as amt911 mentioned, I lost my IMEI numbers, without IMEI numbers you can't dial numbers, receive calls or use mobile data.

BACKUP IMEI NUMBERS FOLKS, you never know when the partitions will screw you over!

I was dumb one without backup and I had to contact Oneplus support for help. I was suprised how quickly I got into communications with one of the assistants.. in less than 10 seconds.

They ask you to do full reset via stock recovery and some other basic troubleshoots, after nothing, obviously, fix the missing IMEI they will arrange remote session to get your phone fixed.

You have to persist on remote session as some of assistants told me that I have to send the phone to repair.

Before they arrange session for you, you need to show them "proof of the purchase" ALSO KEEP THAT FOLKS I lost mine long time ago but luckily I found photo of invoice I took when I bought phone, phew*

I didnt have it at first when I contacted them and they say there is nothing they can do without a proof! DON'T STEAL PHONES FOLKS and then ask for support...

They will contact me for session within 48 hours and I will share the experience here.

Thank you again people!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Papagaj:
Thank you JTVivian for helpful suggestion, but that method would not work. When your bootloader is locked, fastboot commands are useless, you can't flash anything.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] JTVivian:
Ah you're right, i wasn't sure if that was the case but i thought i'd throw out the suggestion anyways.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Allen77777:
I had a similar situation, my bootloader was unlocked tho. Msmtool was stuck on "waiting for device" despite it being connected and recognized, what fixed it for me was using the fastboot ROMs. Honestly don't know what to tell you, but I'll watch the thread just in case someone figures it out
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Papagaj:
Allen, problem is solved. See post #18

It seems like a driver problem that your device was not fixed with msmdownload tool.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Allen77777:
it was actually my charger, everything looked normal but the cable refused to send data. The r/w speed was far too low, tested it out today and switched chargers

Hard bricked or qulacomm crashdump mode. Drain battery until low battery warning does not show. This takes a couple days.​

While you are waiting for battery to drain

Download

TWRP-3.7.0_12-fajita.img

https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-11-12-13-unofficial-twrp-for-oneplus-6-6t.4382121/

Download the latest OxygenOS from Oneplus​

https://service.oneplus.com/us/search/search-detail?id=2096229

Ensuring all firmware partitions are consistent​

go to linageos org, find your device, read the instructions to flash.

Download the zip file

copy-partitions-20220613-signed.zip (op6t) Mainly this zip file erases your phone.

After the low battery warning quits coming up, wait a couple hours and check again by pressing power button, if warning does not come up wait a day and then fully charge phone. You will have to shut it down when you first plug it in, and again when you get a small charge, should boot into fastboot.

After fully charged boot into fastboot, holding down volume up & down and power buttons. You can run the command, fastboot set_active other, then fastboot reboot bootloader, to change from boot a to boot b and vice-a-versa. Sometimes one boot is corrupt, you will know if device hangs and not reboot.

Flash TWRP img, probably won’t be able to reboot without going into crash dump mode. sideload the copy-partitions zip file.

Boot back into fastboot, flash again the TWRP img. Go to mount and check data and system to mount. Sideload OOS zip file. Reboot.

Mi OnePlus 6 shows Qualcomm crashdmp mode after flashing via msmTool. With any of it it fails and I can't access to the system nor the recovery, and obviously my bootloader is locked. Would you advise me to try this method?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] JordiMas:
You can't change active partition if your bootloader is locked
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] knotheu:
I'm not sure of your answer, I don't understand. When you are in fastboot mode run the command, fastboot reboot bootloader fastboot oem unlock. I can be wrong but these are the commands I used, worked for me.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] JordiMas:
The problem is when you run the msm download tool and restore the system, the bootloader gets relocked. Then you can't unlock it nor boot to/flash custom recovery, because you are required to enter to the system, do the basic setup and enable oem unlocking in developer settings. But if the system just doesn't boot you are screwed.

In this case you can't flash roms, can't boot to custom recovery, can't change the active partition, cant sideload...
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] knotheu:
Oh I'm sorry I do not use Windows, I'm running Ubuntu Linux. I never could get windows to recognize my op6t no matter what I did.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] JordiMas:
I didnt't mention Windows (?) but anyway I think this behaviour of the phone happens regardless of the OS of the computer and also regardless of the OnePlus phone
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] knotheu:
You didn't need to mention Windows, MSMtool only works with Windows. You cannot say this behavior happens with all OS's. if you have never used another OS.

Hello..

I wonder if it is just me or anyone noticed it..

The MB consumed in taking videos in Miui 10 is a lot smaller compared to Miui 11 whether if its 1080p 30/60 or 4k 30/60..

Does that happen to you guys?

How i wish in Miui 11 it will consume smaller MB so that my device storage will not get full easily in taking videos..

Its just my opinion.. what do you guys think?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] knift:
Maybe it's caused by different codec, H264 v.s. H265. You can review the videos and find it out. You can adjust the settings in the camera app,

When watch videos on YouTube display sharpness increase so high, it make videos look ugly:crying:. I also try same videos on Firefox app, no sharpness increase problem videos look fine. Anyone face the same problem?

I attached screenshot of video (https://youtu.be/S_dfq9rFWAE) between YouTube app and Firefox app. screenshot may not see obviously due to file size reduce.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] DbzMihir:
Same Issue

I think all of the users are facing the same issue for the YouTube app or YouTube vanced app, as of now there is no fix for the same. The problem is with the HRD display which switches by default in the app. Only workaround is to open in browser application. Update should fix the issue hopefully or provide an option to enable/disable HDR
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] beelew:
I hope it will be fixed in next update. Right now it made me don't want to watch a video. Even Netflix, Google chrome and another app are face the same problem except for Firefox app.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] @SidDev:
According to the screenshots it looks like YouTube app has more detail than the other one.

I don't fine any issue related to this and I regularly use YouTube app. Compare your SS and zoom it. There is better detailing on that SS than the other one.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] beelew:
It depends on quality of a video. If high quality video it may look OK. It like you boost sharpness slider in Photoshop in high quality image. How ever it opposite result in regular image if you boost sharpness slider too high, you will get a pixel look and thick outline of image. It make image look artificial, not natural and harsh for the eyes to look at.

I encourage you to try to watch video on Firefox or on other device, you will see it look more natural, no pixel look and outline of image look much more pleasing to the eyes compare to YouTube (and another app like Netflix) app on redmi note 8 pro. And thank you for answering my questions .
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] @SidDev:
If low quality videos are watched on such a big screen it is bound to be pixelated anyways.

To be honest I didn't find any issues and looking at your screenshots also it clearly shows original YouTube app has more better quality.

I think first time HDR users are having these issue because it's new experience for them and asking for HDR on/off button which is hilarious.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] beelew:
I think it not hdr effect, which is we can see wide range of brightness and color(normal display can display 0-255 value in each RGB).To me, It kind of like Video Sharpness effect in video player(http://vlcmediaplayersecrets.blogspot.com/2015/07/video-sharpness-effect.html?m=1). And I hope HDR content can be display on our device soon (our display device is support)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] @SidDev:
Brother you don't even know how things work.

HDR is working if you have the content to watch it. In YouTube search for HDR videos and then play it. The check with three dot menu it will show the HDR along with the 1080p.

I have an HDR enabled Avengers Endgame, 31 gb size, HDR works flawlessly.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] beelew:
thanks brother, I don't know how things work. But to my eyes normal video it looks so harsh. But it look fine when watch in Firefox app. Maybe my taste not like everyone else.:crying:
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] DbzMihir:
Well said buddy there are few over-smart people who have their opinions on HDR and how it works, according to a normal user it looks a bit saturated and sharpened. It might be possible to change the same in the future updates by adding adaptive HDR option in videos being played.

Happy To Help :laugh:

Redmi note 8pro display sharpness |firefox framecut with youtube issue solved | thekn

Hello guys,

I have purchased redmi note8 pro recently and i noticed none of any youtubers told or talked about this big problem which changed the media experience quality drastically so i used as every one suggested Mx player and it worked fine but firefox no man, it when you view youtube.com in mobile version it is unable to detect the dimensions of the screen and somehow stretches and crops the video so i then started using the request desktop version to tackle this problem but it was such a head ache(the zoom in and zoom out) , then while i was surfing through the settings i got the magical setting to make the firefox mobile version youtube.com videos to not to strech and not to be croped.

You just have to follow

Settings/Display/Notch and staustbar/Notch in individual apps/ firefox/notched

I have recently purchased Redmi note 8 pro about 3 months ago just before note 9 release and i did downloaded new pipe and nothing happend the only solution was using mx player for local medias and using firefox for youtube.com but firefox had a major screen unfit streching and croping problem.

Hello,

I just purchased Redmi note 8 Pro, I was extremely happy with the phone quality, design and camera quality.

But when I opened the Videos on YouTube or Netflix, there the actual problem has poped-up. The Quality of the video is really very poor.

Initially I was in a impression that it is a defective product and went to the authorized service center near Tambaram (Chennai), but they were not ready to accept this as an issue. They were claiming this as a normal behavior of the phone and it is the same for all the Note 8 pro devices and literaly I've seen the comparison of both the Brand new and the old Note 8 Pro belive me it was extremely bad and I was not able to view the face when a video is running in these platforms. They even tried software upgrade and other stuffs, but unfortunaley nothing worked, can someone please throw some light here and help with a solution for my problem.

PS: It's a brand new phone and I haven't signed in with my account yet. Looking forward for your response. Thanks!

Thank god i'm not the only one for noticing the oversharpened youtube vids. Been searching for a fix but it seems very few people notices, or bothered by this problem. Looking forward for a fix on future update.

For now I just have to getting used to oversharpened video as watching on firefox is not very enjoyable for me.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] crazyfox21:
sadly, even jump up to MIUI 12.0.2.0 Global this issue still persist. . .so this phone won't last long on me, going back to Snapdragon side

*i'm done with this and that issue on Mediatek Devices, especially Xiaomi devices.

edit : even XDA Developers seems don't care with this issue. . .and act like this issue doesn't exist at all...sadly, i get another bad luck with "Mediatek" and i'm done forever

Just found out that watching in mi browser doesn't oversharpen the video, and no fulscreen bug unlike firefox mobile.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jshames:
Sorry friend, you seem to have very discerning eyes, I think most people watching a Youtube video on a 6 inch screen aren't bothered by it, if they can see it at all...

As far choice of phone, it's a balance of features and value for things that matter to you...there will always be a compromise unless you buy a $1000 phone. That's what's great about a competitive free market.

I think most people buy a phone like this because its a great value, not because it is the best phone.

Best of luck

hi guys.

dunno if it's the rite section, but maybe someone can put some light onto this case...

recently I was involved in a big conract which was including some serious demolition and relocations on site. I've decided to take out of drawer my ol' trusty nokia N70 to protect my kaiser.

as a bit of a geek, I uploaded vbag emulator and couple of roms to my nokia, just to kill some time on my way to and back from work.

... guess what? on first of the N series phone with ~200 mhz cpu gba games fly. with frameskip set just to 1 I had no problems with baldur gates, zelda or even more speedy games like sonic 3.

now the question: is the good emulator of let's say gba just a matter of good dedicated programing for i.e. kaiser or does winmo suck in general??

I've tried all gba emulators for winmo and nothing can touch that damn old nokia with vbag... (-_-)'

don't get me wrong, I still love my kaiser, but if old N70 can do this wouldn't it be possible on kaiser?

thank You- come again ;)
