And this is my final configuration for my Optimus J2 Prime G532G/DS:

- use heavy debloated stock rom

- phoenix kernel

- superSU (i dont use magisk due to unfixed error with apps2sd, but with supersu i dont have any error at all and stable)

- 16GB memory card with two partitions, 4gb ext2 file system 2nd partitition used by apps2sd. (I use ext2 for avoiding journaling, saving the lifespan of external sd)

- init.d support apk for small tuning by myself

use this optimus prime everyday, and work like a charm

Thanks, just 4 share

Hi,

My pda is originally in dutch - TMobile MDA. I'm stuck with the bootloader since I had tried to update another rom. I was advised to flash again the original ROm. But I cant seem to find the original rom. And Im not really sure what my original rom is. How will I know that?

Hope anyone could help me out there.. Thanks.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] marcadamf:
I bought a t mobile one plus 7 pro - version gm31cb-on 9.5.10 before I read about the hassle it can be compared to an unbranded phone. The bootloader is unlocked.

I tried the msm tool to go to international version but it got stuck on parameter preload so I decided to try to root and get rid of the tmobile flash screen later.

long story shortened, the phone is stuck on the warning screen.

Pressing buttons, I can get it into fastboot but adb doesnt see the phone to flash/push anything.

If I try to boot into recovery, it sticks at the warning screen.

can I somehow get adb to see the phone in fastboot mode?

do you know if i need a certain os/file so i can get past the parameter preload with msm?

i followed the steps in the msm tutorial.

if msm sees the phone and it gets to parameter preload does it mean it is not a driver issue but maybe the wrong software?

Any advice is appreciated.

thank you for your time and expertise

Marc

through fastboot

I am using the universal fastboot and adb tool and trying to flash boot twrp and start over

current error: failed remote recovery a no such partition

after fastboot --set-active=b

same error

update 2

somehow, after simply trying over and over i got twrp on partition a

i think i will stay here until a kind member can direct me to an img that will work

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] blas4me:
These should work. As for MSM tools use the international version.

If you can't shut off device, hold power + Vup for about 10 seconds without being connected to a power source. If your fast enough, keep device plugged, and just press Vdown, to boot recovery.

not sure where you are at right now, but i installed a wrong os version (android 10 on my phone with pie on it). It would only boot into fasdtboot screen no matter what I did or tried. Could not get adb to recognize it, had no twrp or rom installed correctly. No way to fix it, could not use MSM tool as phone had to be able to be shutoff, which mine couldn't. never recognized it due to that. tried drivers to no avail. not really many answers out there, til I found out about fastboot roms.

check out this page: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424

* IMPORTANT: in above link, remember to only download the OS version that fits your phone previously. DO NOT try to update your phone to a different version using that method. Also this method will NOT work on a branded phone, so if your phone is originally a T-Mobile phone then unfortunately this is not a solution for ya.

Try connecting your phone to the PC with USB cable and then hold pwr+volup buttons for more than 5 seconds. Does it work this way?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] LepatUbi:
no.. dose not work .. i try with off phone >> Hold power + volUp >> connect usb .. it is correct?...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] polfrank:
1st way

1. Connect USB cable only to PC

2. Hold vol+ on phone

3. Connect USB cable to phone (while holding vol+)

2nd way

1. Connect USB cable to PC and phone

2. Hold pwr and vol+ for many seconds, until something happens (led turns on and off and phone is detected by the PC).

The authorisation file is included in the installation folder of MiFlashPro. It is not the one that is going to make the difference though. The most important thing to do for the process to continue is to log in with an authorized Xiaomi account.

The app does have sp flash tool, but you may mix mi account and mi service account. by the way, I have tried this app before I post. Not working for EDL, still will need Auth service account.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Leonhard1707:
It looks like some people have a softer brick where the phone can still get to fastboot mode if the battery is discharged, but for me and apparently many others the bricking is harder.

I followed OP's instructions but unfortunately, as discussed a lot in this thread, it only works if you have the rare Xiaomi service account rather than a regular Mi account. I keep trying occasionally hoping that Xiaomi start allowing regular accounts to flash -- but so far it still fails.

It's very frustrating, I spent so much money on this garbage. Even if I get it unbricked I won't enjoy using it unless it's at the very least rooted.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bahuy2003:

Xiaomi must disable this auth account, why do they want to make our Life worse?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] idog8818:
auth account supposed to be used for service/repair purposes, that's why not everyone can get it. Due to security purposes, using auto account can prevent threads, such as reflash stolen phone etc. Mi tried to control the process then "accidentally" hit us..
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pndwal:
Not so sure they do but...

That pretty much sums up our plight.

Also, these modes give (a thief, extortioner, spy etc) full access to users data by simple means, regardless of security (encryption, pins etc) in place as factory reset can be bypassed and bootloader unlocked before a new dirty ROM flash. With custom kernel, root access and SELinux permissive, encrypted userdata image can be and has been extracted. It is then a simple matter of reflashing (clean) original ROM, giving it root, restoring encryption key saved from /vold directory and userdata image to bypass password security and decrypt all data.

See my post re. critical device vulnerabilities using QCom's EDL mode and similar MTek Emergency Download protocol which effectively grant an attacker full device access due to these modes not simply allowing forced flashing of officially signed software, but also providing ability to disable secure boot and unlock the bootloader with NO LOSS of device data. https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-8-...tuck-da-mode-authorised-t4000433/post81563925.Cited XDA article on exploiting emergency download flash protocol gives details.

This will do nothing to help you or other custom modders (sorry :( ), but sheds light on Xiaomi's rationale. (Trying to be a responsible OEM seems to present it's own conundrums.) PW

Quoted by polfrank
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pndwal:
Sadly, that's the error that means you need Authorised SERVICE Account (and you only have authorised regular MI account) to do perform this flash.

Are you able to get into Fastboot mode? You should be able to recover with only your account authorisation in that case.

I'm guessing you're trying with phone dead or battery disconnected etc, requiring Emergency Download type forced flashing with Authorised SERVICE Account (due to security vulnerabilities as Emergency Download protocol allows secure boot bypass, etc). Please check my posts #76, 92, & 171, and read OP (Opening Post) in this case. All best, PW

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] javizeta:
The mobile was blocked when I flashed a recovery and with 80% battery.

I removed the back cover of the note 8 pro to access the battery and disconnected it. After about

seconds I have reconnected and followed the steps of post # 72 of klocek80 on this same topic and then

from step 2, as the battery box appeared but did not indicate the percentage, I disconnected the cable

from the computer and I have connected it to the charger. After a while I have reconnected it to the burner and pressed

in power and volume- and within seconds I have released and surprisingly the mobile has started in fastboot.

Confirm that before disconnecting the battery, when performing step 1 only the LED always shone with the same intensity

but the battery box did not appear with the lightning inside.

I don't know if it has been luck but I have my Note 8 Pro again.

Thanks everyone for your help.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pndwal:
Well done, and thanks for posting your methods! :)

Many had success entering Fastboot when normal methods (eg key combination) fail by using TRICKS to reset boot protocols, so it's often well worth trying these before paying for Service Account use.

I'm listing the TRICKS THAT WORKED for users here and from other reading (including your variation -2b) now, and hope it helps others:

1) Hold down vol- & pwr together (try vol- only also), then plug in usb (with Fastboot flash on PC ready (waiting for connection) before releasing key(s). Flash will proceed if Fastboot entered. NB. Screen may remain black in this case.

2) With battery fully discharged, hold vol- & pwr together (try vol- only also), plug in charger (try with PC connection also), release buttons after few seconds, if charge icon appears allow charge to 4%, remove charger, then CAREFULLY try to enter Fastboot with button combo (don't boot system!).

Variation:

2b) With battery charged, disconnect battery and hold down pwr (try holding all buttons also) for 1 minute to drain residual power, release buttons, reconnect battery, then hold vol- & pwr together (try vol- only also) and plug in charger (try with PC connection also), release buttons after few seconds, if charge icon appears remove charger, then CAREFULLY try to enter Fastboot with button combo (don't boot system!).

3) With battery disconnected hold down pwr (try holding all buttons also) for 1 minute to drain residual power, release, then hold vol- & pwr together (try vol- only also), plug in usb (with Fastboot flash on PC ready (waiting for connection) and reconnect battery. Release buttons(s) after a few seconds. Flash will proceed if Fastboot entered. NB. Screen may remain black in this case.

NB. I'm unsure if these methods work for both MTek and QComm devices. Also, they will only work if bootloader is not corrupted.

Please let us know how you get on. PW

Bricked Redmi8t

Hi, sadly, no.

After a days looking for right firmware i didnt get idea how to flash it, because phone were restarting even in fastboot mode.

It continuosly reboot after 0.5 sec in fastboot mode or another.

I think that problem were in partition containing radio firmware or etc.

I take phone to service as it were buyed just a month ago, they said that it were problem in hardware, but i am almost 80% sure, that it was software problem.

If You will be flashing your device be really careful with the radio firmware then. It can not be changed, you have to take care to keep this partition not re-writed, and or re-writed with the same version as your phone have now.

I just try to flash rom from indonesia (indonesian version), i didnt try chinesse version so far, just to have sms and call dialer from xiaomi as i am using it a ages, and not from google as i do not like their google stupid messages and dialer, not because of security, as a security does not exists in this case, but cause of easy transfer from chinesse cloud, synchronization, and a wish to keep recording all my calls as before.

It were really helpful for me when i can record any call that i made from my phone and then transcribe file to text when i need address or phone number from that call, or even to keep in mind a name of a person we were talking in a call.

Impossible, without troubles and a risk of brick.

But You can gain root access with magisk so far and safe.

Just flashing rom i didnt recommend on this device, until someone got idea why it can brick to bootloop.

And Yes, my question here were stupid, there is no possibility to unbrick it with tools i try to use.

Company where i buy my phone change the motherboard of it, and i get clean phone back.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pndwal:
Many thanks for the details! Glad they treated you so well. :)

Yes, - but likely more than just radio. OEM's often source from a number of different sensor manufacturers (vendors) also, so hardware blobs for these also will often vary by region, especially between China & Global. (The three variants of my older Huawei device had different light and rotation sensor vendors for example.)

If you check site I gave you, https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/ (https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/devices-xiaomi-firmware-updater-t3741446) you'll see they provide Latest Firmware, ROM or Vendor for each Xiaomi model. For 8T we have complete ROMs (both Recovery and Fastboot types) for Global, EEA and Russia (no Indonesian here yet), and also small firmware flash zips (read set of low-level drivers which helps the operating system do whatever it wants to do. It includes various things like Modem, Bluetooth, Bootloader, DSP etc) allowing custom ROM users to update firmware without flashing stock. These are actually sorted by DEVICE, eg WILLOWGlobal and WILLOWEEAGlobal are device names given. Zip sizes also vary. (Several different Vendor Zips are also provided for each model)

So it seems Xiaomi model variants are (often at least) actually DIFFERENT DEVICES with different hardware, so flashing complete stock ROMs is dangerous.

This is not usually the case with custom as they don't normally include these Firmware and Vendor partitions so as to be compatible with all variants of a model.

You could also likely flash your Indonesian MIUI safely (assuming it's genuine!) if you can likewise exclude Firmware and Vendor from flash, (probably flashing only System, Boot & Data). PW
