[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] Talix:
Hey guys

I'll just let you know first up, this is the second time I've had this issue with this particular phone being hard-bricked, but this time I can't seem to fix it.

It doesn't turn on, can't be hard-reset, can't go to recovery/fastboot, only EDL mode via test points. Last time (April 2019) it also happened overnight, but I was able to restore it to proper function by EDL flashing it using QFIL and a modified programmer (prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.mbn). The rom I flashed back then was the most recent at the time, Redmi Note 6 Pro Global V10.3.2.0.

This time was a bit different in that I was actually able to hard-reset it at first (it vibrated and seemed to boot), but it then got stuck on the mi-logo during startup. I wasn't able to get it into recovery, but the fastboot screen came on ok. However, the phone didn't register on the pc and I wasn't able to actually send any fastboot commands to the phone, nor flash roms. I don't think fastboot was actually working which might be pointing to chip issues... Unfortunately...

After a few attempts at hard-resetting and failing recovery, I think the battery actually ran flat.

Now it is dead-dead.

Doesn't react at all, doesn't do anything, just like back in April last year. When I plug it in to my pc it delays for about 10 seconds and then shows up

as if

it's in EDL mode (Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008) but it's not really flashable - it doesn't react to QFIL correctly.

I then pulled the phone apart, shorted the EDL points and got it into 9008 mode immediately after plugging in the usb cable, no 10 sec delay doing it this way. However, when trying to flash the phone now it fails and reports a generic 'Firehose FHLoader error'... Please see log attached in this google drive link: drive.google[dot]com/file/d/1nj_0f95qLnLHqIgTEODmilY9ObmAkowz/view

Apologies for the link - I don't have 10 posts yet...

The most recent miui rom for the phone now is "tulip_global_images_V11.0.4.0.PEKMIXM_20200514.0000.00_9.0_global" and that's the one I primarily tried flashing. I also tried the one I had success with last year (fearing though it might re-brick due to the roll-back protection) but that didn't work either, same error. I also tried flashing using different USB cables, all high quality, but the error remains. I also tried it using a laptop, just to rule out windows issues. I've also tried the tips for resolving QFIL errors mentioned on the hovatek forum: forum.hovatek[dot]com/thread-30141.html but with no luck there either.

Have you guys got any ideas how I might proceed? Any tips I could try?

I am kind of resigned to this perhaps being a hardware issue, perhaps this particular chip has failed and that is why not even EDL mode is working properly. But I just wanted to ask the community if you had any ideas. If not, then it's not an expensive phone. However, I would love fixing it if I could, my wife loves it...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] HumanBoy23:
I suggest to first short the pins then open the flash tool and try to flash the factory rom. The programmer file will be inside the extracted rom directory, select that and proceed. If it does not work try installing Qualcomm driver and retry .
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] Gh_Racer:
I'm sorry for re-opening an old thread, but I'm in a really similar situation.

My Redmi self-bricked, and I don't have any ideas since I have already tried a flash in ELD mode but the Flash Tool says that it's not able to receive the hello packet from the phone.

Have you been able to solve the issue in some ways?

Ps. Here's my post, in case you need further informations
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] shock-UK:
This phone supports 21w charging, but it is only shipped with an 18W charger. (This charger seem to be able to give out 5V, 9 V (2A) and 12V (1.5A).)

Anyone have information on what version of USB-PD the phone supports? And what voltage is used to obtain 21w?

Has anyone got 21W charging working? As not all higher wattage usb-pd charges may support the 21W mode that this phone needs.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] JB2unique:
Well I can tell you do not use anything above Sony's recommended charging °W because anything above that - even with PD -- the device will intensely heat up.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] shock-UK:
Sony report 21W charging. So I'm not asking to go above Whats recommended.

I am asking more about the actual charging methodology, as the usb-pd system can be a bit complicated. And even a 45W charger may not correctly 'handshake' at 21w unless it's got the right voltage to offer.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] shock-UK:
Anyone?

No one has tried using a higher wattage PD charger?
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] Winrahr:
My Xiaomi 30W 1A1C charger (which supports USB PD 2.0 over the C port I believe) negotiates 7V/3A to hit the 21W.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] shock-UK:
Nice. That is an interesting combination. I thought it might do it at higher voltage.

How are you measuring it? I'm thinking of getting a usb measuring display.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] Winrahr:
Me too, I thought it'd be doing 12V/1.8A or something but 7V/3A makes sense. Definitely should make sure the cable is quality enough to support 3A. As an aside, the phone charges at 5V/1.5A for all non USB-PD compliant chargers.

I measured with a super cheap USB C meter that I've been sticking into random chargers for curiosity sake. Highly recommended :laugh:
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] shock-UK:
Ok, ordered an Usb pd 3.0 charger today, the Arcanite one. As it also has a PPS option.

Also ordered as usb c power meter.

Let's see if it does the same voltage combination with this charger.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] Winrahr:
I just looked more into the USB-PD spec and I believe you'd need a PD3.0 compatible charger to hit the 21W since the charger needs to support PPS to hit 7V/3A. Otherwise I'm assuming it would negotiate to 5V/3A or 9V/2A if the charger doesn't have a 7V step.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] shock-UK:
So got a charger with PPS support (a USB-PD 3.0) an up to 30w charging. An Anker USB c to c cable with 60W support.

And using a satechi voltage / current measuring device.

But something isn't correct. It could be the usb-c voltage measure.

Using the supplied 18W charger, it's displaying 5.27V, 2.78A. that's roughly 15W. ( Picture attached).

Using the new 30W charger, it's displaying 6.44V, 2.77A. that's roughly 18W. ( Picture attached).

Still need to do more testing, not sure why I'm getting these readings. A bit below what I was expecting.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] iArvee:
What battery % is your phone at? You also have to remember that the closer the phone is to 100%, the charging speed will slow down.

I have an Anker 30W charger and can charge at speeds of at least 3500 mAh (based on Ampere reading).
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] shock-UK:
The battery was around 35%. Yes you are right once it got over 50% the charging rate does show down a bit.

Also the Ampere app was displaying 3600 or 3500 as the current. But even if we calculate that, that's only about 18W. But that app isn't very good at measuring charging voltage or current.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] shock-UK:
The charger's specifications are attached below,
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] nreuge:
Actually, did anybody find a 21W charger compliant with our device??? (I mean really delivering 21W...)

Edit:

I've ordered the Samsung Ultra Fast Charge 25W (ref: EP-TA800XBEGWW)

It is PD 3.0 PPS and delivers 3.3-5.9V at 3A or 3.3-11.0V at 2.25A.

I hope that will work...
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] mikew99:
I have the Samsung EP-TA800 25W charger from a Samsung Galaxy A71 5G. On low battery with my USB tester, I measured 22W (9V/2.5A) when charging my A71 but only 15W (5.5V/2.7A) when charging my Xperia 1 ii. Were you able to do better with this Samsung charger?

In fact, I have been testing all my PD chargers (about a dozen in total -- I might have a problem!), and none has been able to charge my Xperia 1 ii at more than 18W. That's certainly decent, but it would be nice to get the 21W that the hardware is capable of.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] nreuge:
I've not finished my tests, answers soon...
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] nreuge:
I've finished my tests.

Both Sony charger 18W and Samsung EP-TA800 25W charger take 37 mn to charge from 20% to 70%. So, the extra power of the EP-TA800 cannot be used by our device, it does not provide the correct electrical intensity...
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] nreuge:
Finally, I've ordered the ARCANITE Premium PD 3.0 QC4 PPS 30W charger as mentionned above.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] nreuge:
I've received the ARCANITE Premium PD 3.0 QC4 PPS 30W charger and I've done the tests.

To charge from 20% to 70%, the Sony charge takes 37 mn and the ARCANITE charger takes 36 mn (tests done in aiplane mode).

The small difference occurs below 50%.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] mikew99:
Thanks for the update. It seems like the ARCANITE might not be delivering the 21W as hoped.

I also ordered yet another charger, the Baseus BS-C915, which allegedly supports PPS. The PPS designation appears in some pictures, but the specifications describe only a range of voltages (3.3-11V @ 3A).

With the Baseus, I get just under 18W (6.6V @ 2.7A) when charging my Xperia 1 ii. It's kind of strange that Sony claims 21W charging but doesn't include a 21W charger and doesn't even provide the specs for one!
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZZDoug:
I'm getting a 500gb SSD to replace (adapt) my 16gb internal storage. It's my understanding that the Shield encrypts the drive and so it can't be accessed otherwise. Meaning you pretty much just leave it hooked to the Shield all of the time. But what about trim and leveling?

Also I presume since it's USB-3 that performance isn't an issue and even a cheap ssd will work fine. Planning on using Adata su-800 but does it matter to have dram for example?

And for the second external drive I use just for media, does anyone know how much power the usb outlets put out? Am thinking about getting a 2.5" 5tb (mechanical & almost entirely for videos) and wondering if the usb power is enough to handle these type of drives. I think these drives require the better part of one amp to operate properly. Also can this second drive be removed safely without shutting down the Shield?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IcerJo:
As-long as the second drive is not adopted it should be fine and dandy, just ensure that you eject it from the storage menu. I'll let someone else who knows more about adopted storage and USB power chime in for the rest :)

The weMessage application allows you to use iMessage on Android through a proxy server running on a Mac.

Is there a program with the same concept but for Facetime?

If there isn't, is it possible? I might consider trying to make it, though I don't want to if something already exists.

I love my android, and couldn't bare using an IOS device. Though I need to use Facetime.

No, I am not looking for Facetime alternatives.

So, after no reply to my post, and a hard reset, I have discovered the answer to the no alert on SMS receipt is as follows:

Go to : Setting > Sounds >

Ensure the 'Programs' box has a tick and the 'Notifications' box underneath has a tick, then upon SMS receipt, a sound will play!

Yep I bricked it good, fiddling with it. It was about a year ago so I don't remember what I did but it's down.

When I plug it into USB, lsusb reports: "Bus 003 Device 011: ID 0e8d:0003 MediaTek Inc. MT6227 phone".

Ok, but adb finds no devices. Needless to say the screen is black whether I hold power and vol- or power and vol+. No LEDs.

Is there any way to recover this nice device?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] -i.nwA_:
Not sure if this helps but i had a similar issue where my yoga simply get recognized by adb/fastboot because the version of adb that i used was somehow incompatible.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] scrawnyb:
I was wondering if anyone here has successfully integrated (OEM'd) their carrier cab into DCD's Kitchen.

I'm trying to do it with 3.2.4 (fixed most of the bugs), but it doesn't do anything other than import the registry entries and create the EPSTLab link. (Verizon Carrier Cab)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
The carrier OEM's were taken out of the kitchen after 3.0.4 and made into the carrier cabs. Your best bet is to just stick with the carrier cab. Is it that hard to install one cab after flashing? If your response is "Well, I have lots of cabs to install after flashing...", then my answer to you would be...USE UC
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] scrawnyb:
Nah, I don't mind installing it. I just like to try to simplify and customize the ROM as much as possible.

So it was indeed used before and just removed?

Hrmm, I'll have to look into it.

Thanks for that info.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lllboredlll:
I have a dumb question :) ya imagine that.....anyway

1) why did he take the mms config out

2) have there really been that many changes to the cab as opposed to the OEM since 3.0.4
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Yes, all carrier OEM's were included in kitchens 3.0.4 and before. They were removed to make a generic multi carrier rom for everyone. Before, there would be a link to the kitchen, then links to pre-cooked roms for every carrier...totalling around 50mb each. Much easier to link the kitchen and one pre-cooked rom, then just link small carrier cabs.

1. MMS was removed completely because it's not an OEM package.

2. Yes there have been several significant changes since the OEM.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lllboredlll:
Hmmm so with that being said I should most likely quit using the OEM from 3.0.4 :D I know you just rolled your eyes. By the way, I still OEM MMS and other stuff. Guess I need to come out of the stone ages. But then again I just finally upgraded from 3.0.4. I just liked it so much with the configuration I ran and it was soooooooo stable.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Damn son, yeah look into UC or something and get up to date. You must be using an old version of Arcsoft too huh?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] PapstDFrisco:
I was just thinking about this topic.

I had already found the UC and am trying to figure out all that stuff too.

Glad to know I was on the right path for once.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lllboredlll:
Hmmm ya, I'm not one who needs the newest software. Normally I let yall fix all the bugs first ;). I know all about UC and have actually helped a few friends with theirs but I just never ventured off onto my own UC. I'll still probably wait for 3.2.5 before I do anything. Then will most likely allocate on of my cards just for flashing and UC.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Yeah, my Verizon MMS cab works perfectly and is the latest "released" version of Arcsoft. Throw that in your UC config and you'll be good.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lllboredlll:
Ya I messed with it when you released it and then again the other day when I finally decided to upgrade ROM's. Maybe it's a placebo affect but I seem to have more free ram and better stability when I OEM instead of cab. Then again I could just simply out of my friggin mind :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lllboredlll:
One last question........ "clears throat"

When you gonna quit bogarting the new verizon beta rom...huh....huh.....huh ??????
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Zenoran:
hahahahahahaha.

sorry, needed to get that out
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
I believe it's just placebo as you said.

First, it's the ship rom, not beta. Second, if it was my choice, it would have been posted for everyone on the day I got it. I will not leak it without permission from my source, and as of now, I don't have permission. Also, nothing from it is being used in any of dcd's stuff until it's officially released or I get permission to post it, so put that rumor to bed.

I can however say that with it comes a new version of Arcsoft that will work for both Verizon AND Alltel. It's build 5.0.70.24 and NO it will not work on Sprint, so don't bother asking lol. It also includes a built in application to turn threaded messaging on and off and a new PRI 2.03_002. It obviously includes EVDO Rev A support.

I'm not going to go into great detail regarding GPS, but all I'm going to say is...though the potential is now there, it's STILL going to be some work to get it to work like Sprint's, and may not even be possible at all...but we shall see. You can all thank Verizon for that.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] peepeesea:
2 questions

what is this "UC" you speak of, and how do you use it?

if i have .cab for my programs can i just extract the cab to a folder then put that in the OEM folder for the kitchen and have the kitchen build with all my progs? does it work like that or is there more to it?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
If you look at every new kitchen post, you'll see posted right at the top under features, UC Compatible, with a link....looks like someone doesn't read the kitchen posts...

and

No, it doesn't work that way at all.

Check out this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=366337&highlight=reg+xml+tool

Worse case just do the SDConfig.txt file with all the cabs you need to install and you are more than half way there to where you left off on the phone.

Hello! I have the stratos 3 since january. However its the first time i bring it to a swim. But i was surprised that it didnt have training effect or rest time.... Which is sad because i "killed" myself swiming and as far as the watch is concern, im ready for a 5km run right away.

Also, shouldnt the watch measure the heart rate while swiming? I tried measuring with "running" mode and it seemed to measure fine underwater.:confused:

Hey folks,

I am running a custom android 9 ROM (Havoc OS 2.9) on my Umidigi One Max smartphone. As of about a week ago, Android Auto stopped working. Whenever I connect my phone, I get the error "smartphone connection error". I've tried brand new cables I bought from Amazon (and two other cables), cleared cache on both AA and Google maps, tried a fresh install of OS + Apps, but nothing I do fixes the issue. I've also tried fresh installs of RR Rom, OmniRom, and havoc. All the same outcome.

If I restore my backup (TWRP) of my stock ROM (unfortunantly, Android 8.1), Android Auto works just fine. Honestly, I cannot stand the stock ROM, which is why I'd like to restore my AOSP based ROM with working Android Auto.

Has anyone else with a custom ROM or AOSP based ROM had a simular issue? If so, I'm wondering if it was a recent Android Auto update that caused this mess.
