Sorry for bothering you and thanks so much for your very prompt responses.

In the link in Point 1 above, it tells to flash the pre-loader using the fastboot mode, but since my phone is in black screen, (and I think stuck in boot loop since it keeps giving the phone connected, disconnected tone in the PC), fastboot does not recognise the device.

Point 2, I can try later today and will feedback, but seems too many steps. I am not an engineer and a noob when it comes to this.

Once again, I thank you so much for all the support extended and only hope my phone becomes ok. :-(
[Redmi 10X / 10X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
Well, just flash the whole rom and it will work again.

Keep atention and NEVER try to flash in "format all" mode.

But you will really need to bypass the authentication and flash in EDL mode.

Is the only way if you can't enter in fastboot or recovery.

It is so simple, just read carefully and do it patiently.

So I reached upto Stage to Run the bypas.bat.

When i open the SP tool, and select the DA from the link you have provided: DA_VD171--3.3001.2020-07-02020-07-14.bin, it gives an error that the LIB DA not match,......
[Redmi 10X / 10X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
This is normal.

Newer versions of the SP Flash Tool don't allow you to disable LIB DA match

Go back to the link: https://xdaforums.com/t/da-flash-da...omi-redmi-10x-4g-xiaomi-redmi-note-9.4209767/

And pay attention to "If you are having problems for flashing on windows with sp flash tool, give a try on these versions".

You need to try those versions.

I was wrong. I was on linux.

But on Windows, yes, you can disable the LIB DA match.

Just check in OPTIONS.

Hi VD171. Is this normal? What's the meaning of that partitions?
[Redmi 10X / 10X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
Yes.

Don't worry.

Is everything fine.

Magisk can't modify that partitions to "read-write", so they keep "read-only".

You can ignore that.

Thanks for your reply and good work. How do I know if a module it's working. Is the "/busybox failed with 8" an error?

If you install the module and you can do what you want to do, the module is working.

If you install the module and you don't want to do nothing, does not matter if the module is working.

I'm not sure about magisk errors, about magisk errors you need to read about magisk.

[Redmi 10X / 10X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Hans de Groot:
Any chance of a 12.0.9 boot image? After getting my phone a week ago and had to wait a week before I can use it (unlocking wipes all so no use waisting time on it) not I cannot install twrp cannot even boot from it. I can't find the stock 12.0.9 firmware and I cannot figure out how to get the boot partition from the phone.

So I thought well lets flash 12.0.4 but sp flashtool does not see my phone. fastboot and adb do. so drivers must be okay? Is this than because of the EDL (Thats a qualcom term right? Redmi note 9 is mediatek.) that I need to by pass? I do have my account info. Can I bypass it without root? Been busy now for 8 hours now and I will never get me a xiami again. Make me wait a week ..... I did check if I could root it and it seemed it was easy. only that was all 3 months ago it seems.

Sorry for the rant. Not your fault I see you invest lots of time in this. Thank you for that.

If I could just run magisk that would be enough for me.

Update: I managed to flash 12.0.4 using just miflash tool 2017204 and a global 12.0.4 fastboot. So I think I am good now. I did not need to do anything with an EDL bypass to do that. Weird though that higher versions of the mi flashtool have a config menu that has the line Check point: \$fastboot -s .* lock and Chip = Qualcom (which is it not) and if I change it to mediatek the flash select options change. The 20170425 option does not have these options but it only shows your phone when it is connected in fastboot mode. Do no forget to choose clear all (flash_all) and avoid flash_all_and_lock or your boot loader gets locked again.
[Redmi 10X / 10X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
The bypass is for the bootloader and not for the system, so doesn't matter if the device is rooted or not.
[Redmi 10X / 10X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Hans de Groot:
Hi. I needed the patched bootloader you made and I had magisk patch that boot.img so I have root and now I finaly have twrp. It is the help page some where. I just opened it to read it back but I cannot find it anymore but it must still be there.

It seems the boot.img is always over written so it is a very important first step to have that patched boot.img or twrp will never work.

So maybe it could be a bit more prominent on the help page at the twrp part. Also the fact it sort of conflicts with the magisk patch version is important. Very good you mention that it is not rooted.

Sorry I do not want to sound negative. I am supper happy you took all this trouble to make these pages. Without it it would be a way harder.

I installed the 10.6.34.800 build of messenger. Im using 3 network in UK. installed WLM and the Indentify as N95 cab. used to connect fast and reliable.

lately its been pain in the a$$ to connect, it connects to HSDPA, the 3g icon changes to H but then that damn busy icon just spins until it timesout.

I flash new roms on it all the time, so always installing WLM and apps. the first few times after flashing are fine, then it grinds to a halt.

I wonder if there is some file created thats jamming it or some cache file ?

other apps work fine. IE, beyondfeed, google maps,

i would blame the 3 network, but Ive installed IM+ and it connects first time, everytime to msn network, so now Im blaming this $hit WLM. When its in this mood, it wont sync either. sticks at checking internet connectivity , after it goes to H.

has anyone having / had the same carry on ?

TIA

Have you tried BeeJive? http://www.beejive.com/wm6/
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Percz:
3 sometimes block Live Messenger, depending on what tariff or contract you have at the time. For example if you buy the £5 Internet Browsing bundle, as part of the terms of the bundle Live Messenger is blocked. I've found some of the third party softwares have the same problem with working for awhile then breaking.

A way round the problem is to setup a proxy on your home PC, but this isn't really ideal unless anyone knows of a way of proxying Live Messenger only and not Internet Explorer.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] robertouk:
thnx, I tried only WLM and IM+ . I'll stick with IM+ until I change to O2 or find an answer. When it played up again today, I disconnected data in comm manager and put on wi-fi. It connected in seconds on wi-fi, then when I put off wi-fi and 3g back on, it connected again instantly.

its back again to sticking this evening. IM+ works ok on w-fi and 3g, WLM connects on wi-fi only unless I get lucky and keep playing about with comm manager by disabling/ enabling data and wi-fi.

i am on 3 payg for £5 a month, so it could be part of the problem. I know, before, it point blank refused to connect on 3 until I used the Identify as N95 cab.

would love to know what's causing it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Percz:
That's the problem that's been reported in other forums/posts, if you stick an orange sim in or use Wi-FI the Live Messenger works without fail (well, almost) but as soon as you use the Three sim it keeps playing up.

The fact that you can connect via Wi-Fi, disconnect and connect straight away via GPRS/3G makes it seem like all they do is block the DNS from resolving? If so it'll be a stupidly easy fix. I've heard it's some setting in the SIM that Live Messenger looks for though, which would be much harder to break.

Hello there,

Great forum you guys have here.

I will be receiving my Diamond on Thursday from Orange. I have some questions and would be very grateful for your help and advice. I have looked across the site for answers but there's so much info it's difficult to know where to start!

Firstly, I understand I may need to flash the ROM to improve speed. Speed is very important to me and so should I need to do this, what ROM would you recommend - something simple, offering a good balance between memory consumption and speed please. Does the official HTC update help at all?

Secondly, what do I need to do to preserve the original ROM, just in case I need to get it back in order to return the phone.

Thirdly, can you provide me with a link that clearly explains the process of updating the ROM as i've never done anything like this before.

If there's anything else i've missed (such as settings changes - I know I should get rid of the Orange homepage in favour of HTC's for instance), please tell me - i'm eager to have my Diamond adequately set-up ASAP.

Thanks for your time & patience,

S.

I was once a newb to WinMob (only about a month ago) and I hadn't a clue... I read, read and read and now I up updating roms, radios and installing apps like a good thing!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jporch316:
right o

if you go to the official HTC site you will get a download to the newest official htc rom 1.93 i think which will improve the phone speed no end - it is also easy to install (follow instructions on site). just make sure you backup everything first!

trust me it turned my phone from unusable to a godsend! and its official rom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] simcarloc:
Thanks for the replies. I will attempt reading the wealth of info available on this site, but i'm swept off my feet with work at the moment.

if we can GCAM to work on Umidigi Bison with the quad-lens, it would be great.
[General Topics] djvinniev77:
I have one and was able to do something with the second button. You need to uninstall the Zello app that comes preloaded on the phone. The second button is programmed to work with this, but when it's no longer available, it does nothing (no place to configure it either)

You can then find a program on Google Play called Button Mapper Pro, then add this button. From there, you can customize what it does, single click, double click and long press. Works great.

I had an Ulefone Armor 2 and did the same thing with the buttons, although I could not remove the Zello app on that phone so the long press was always confusing the apps and crashed the device. I didn't see anything like this on the Bison. I also have an AT&T SIM card (prepaid), and I get 4G on this but no volte :(
[General Topics] djvinniev77:
I don't know about all the lens working but I did find another thread here about GCAM working on this device.

this link worked for me

BSG 8.1 GCam

BSG GCam 8.1 is the only tested gcam port that already works on many android phones. Visit this page to download all BSG 8.1 GCam port packages.

www.cyanogenmods.org

was surprised that the night sight cam worked really well, although the pic is "smaller" when viewing it? probably misconfigured screen res and stuff. I didn't play with it enough. Portrait mode works on rear camera too. Front cam was always a no show though.

I really liked the fact that this camera on the Bison is "Limited" API 2 doesn't seem to be enabled yet the key items I like about the GCAM (portrait and night sight) are working well enough.
[General Topics] careloads:
Changed service to Tmobile and now its kickin with with VoLTE!

I will try Button Mapper. I guess Zello was the PTT app though so I will have to figure that out if we want PTT.

Thanks for the suggestion!
[General Topics] careloads:
I am not so sure this is a good app. The download is 99 meg, ten times the size of open cam. After install other apps are randomely crashing or wont open. I uninstalled it and still have those issues. May need a factory reset.
[General Topics] djvinniev77:
So I managed to get root with a patched boot.img as per instructions here. Thought I'd try to make my own TWRP for this device but failed. However, there's a TWRP port utility from hovatek that I used and it seems to get a bit better (actually got the TWRP recovery boot screen to come up) but like many others on a fairly new mediatek android device, it needs a newer version of TWRP (3.5 or higher I guess) - the TWRP porter is version 1.7a, gives you 3.4 TWRP.

So close :(

I'll keep at it and see what I can get. I was already able to get a small device tree to help build recovery and is up on Github
