[Redmi 10X / 10X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Matt_slider:
VD171,

first of all, had I not seen your's and @Communos ' posts on unbricking Merlin (and ) I would probably give up and feel quite sad for doing so. So, thank you both for giving me hope.

I am asking for help at this point because I'm a wee bit stuck with SPTool.

Background: from 12.0.6 MIXM I flashed TWRP (sandra), lk, and vbmeta with flags, as I have always done so. TWRP functioned as expected. Proceeded with flashing HyconOS. Restart, power button reset after Redmi logo. Bootloop. Repeat with 12.0.5 stock MIUI (MIXM) using fastboot method, followed by Fastboot: lk, vbmeta, TWRP; reboot. Now this is interesting. The device will not come alive to any combination of button presses I have used.

Question 1: at this point would you say the device is unrepairable?

Question 2: if there is hope, could I please ask for you help? I can donate some money to you for your time. I really am motivated to get my phone working again because apart from the loss of 48 MP camera functionality with custom roms, it worked brilliantly; unlike MIUI which kept restarting AFWALL and therefore could not be trusted, hence the need to revist a custom rom.

SPTool

------------

Here's where I am stuck:

View attachment 5398533

This is with using Manjaro. Same result with Windows.

All files were sourced from your instructions.

Where I have falled short of following your instructions to the letter is with your settings in "Options" because you mentioned unchecking two boxes which do not exist - see below.

That was with v5.1916. I have installed v6.2120 and v6.2124 but the box for inputting the scatter-loading file under the downloads tab is missing. So, as you can see I'm stuck at this point.

Help would be greatly appreciated sirs. Thank you..

[Redmi 10X / 10X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
If your device looks dead, certainly you have mixed partitions from different firmware versions.

Firstly, you need to try everything to flash any full stock rom.

And then, you can have your device back.

SP Flash Tool V6 is NOT compatible with scatter files.
[Redmi 10X / 10X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Matt_slider:

What else is there left to try? I don't know what else I can do.

Would you recommend a tech expert with MS Teams have a go fixing it remotely?

Hello, i want to flash my Xiaomi MI Note 10 using SP FLASH TOOL.

I rode @VD171 tutorial carefully and also rode this post : https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-how-t...for-merlin-redmi-note-9-redmi-10x-4g.4233977/ on how to flash Redmi note 9 and redmi 10X.

I'm trying to find if the MI note 10 require a Download agent file but i didn't manage to have a precise answer. I have two questions which are : can i use the MTK_ALLInOne_DA.bin as DL file for flashing a MI note 10 device ? or which DL file should i use ? And is it the same process than it is for flashing Redmi note 9 ? Last question is what is "MERLIN" device ?

Thank you for taking time to read me and answer.
[Redmi 10X / 10X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
Apparentely, MI NOTE 10 is NOT a mediatek device, so you can't use sp flash tool.

MERLIN is the codename of the combination of the devices: redmi note 9 and redmi 10X 4G.

The codename of MI NOTE 10 is TUCANA.

TUCANA is the codename of the combination of the devices: Mi CC 9 Pro, Mi Note 10 and Note 10 Pro.

Yes I did. Got to 100% progress but spft just hung. Probably shouldn't have but I pulled the USB in the end. Might be toast.

Any suggestions guys?

[Redmi 10X / 10X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
NEVER try to flash in format all mode.

You have two options:

1# Flash using FIRMWARE UPGRADE mode. (Keep attention, it will relock bootloader and erase userdata.)

2# Flash using another scatter file with the same partition table:

I think you're the only one person who tries to make a ROM for the Redmi Note 9. Im stuck with this phone for so long and I hate the MIUI, especially when the phone got bricked just by updating the MIUI to 12.0.9. I sent it back to the shop but they just made it worse, they installed a ROM version for the Redmi Note 9 Pro, I don't wonder why the half of the functions are not working. Shame on them. How can I literally BACK UP everything from the phone that after unlocking the bootloader and flashing the Arrow OS or other ROM I could restore everything on it? I mean all the APKs (and their data).
[Redmi 10X / 10X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
Using TitaniumBackup.

Probably, it depends only on your creativity.

Really sorry to post this question here, I use Poco M2 which is not listed under the devices. I use GCam Mod by Nikita, and everything worked fine, until today it started providing completely black images. I tried switching to other mods, some don't work because I have mediatek processor, but those which do work are showing black pictures as well. I tried using front camera, disabling hdr+, everything but nothing helps. It's even more confusing because if this would have been the case from start I would have thought it's a problem with camera config or settings.

The AWB is disabled and my normal camera app is working fine.

Ps: this issues is different than the black screen issue some people get, my gcam works fine, just the pictures are full black.

What do they base how much they charge on?

A few days ago the price dropped to 459 but its shot back up to 496 a couple of days ago... Whole sale prices cant of changed that much, so what are they basing the price on?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kareeem:
I would assume supply and demand just how the economy runs. Since it's a top notch gadget that everybody wants, they'll raise their prices to make the best profit they can.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rhedgehog:
i disagree. from what i can tell, expansys tend to base their prices on Mystic Megs sunday horoscopes. But then again, they are a very big online retailer and they can charge what they like because people will still buy from them.

www.devicewire.co.uk is usually a good bet, as they are actually owned by brightpoint and are the main uk distributors.

Although they have put the cost of the phone up, they have dropped the cost of purchasing it on contract by quite a bit !

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NutsyUK:
Actualy i thought exspansys tariff deals where pretty terrible if you asked me... They really should be supplying contracts that are at least a little bit like the ones from the network...

o2 deals are pretty awful. Considering o2 now offer web with no FUP but the terms through exspansys have the FUP also the minutes and text allowances are really expensive compared to buying the contract from the companys direct.

Oh well... At this rate o2 will be selling the phone with a contract before i can buy the phone unbranded :/

Though i really would like exspansys to just sell the phone with some fair contracts.

I believe it is a random number, perhaps the same way they calculate their stock numbers on the website.

Also, I'm a bit new to this thing, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I need a custom ROM built specifically for this model of the device, right? Or is it possible to install a generic ROM somehow? How exactly ROM is customized for specific device model, is it a complex procedure?

How reliable are these units? As I assume warranty is almost none exisiting after PayPal support runs out.

What are your thoughts.? I was planing on going all in with DVR, rear cam, TPS and engine scanner.
[FYT Android Head Units] ronschlockett:
I have no experience with that device but I purchased a 60$ double Din unit 6 months ago that came with backup cam, steering wheel controls, BT, and screen casting from android. It has been surprisingly reliable and for the price even if it breaks I will just buy a newer unit and swap it. Anyway I like the way that one looks but the price...

[FYT Android Head Units] pcmicro:
I purchased a Joying 7862 10.5 inch head unit, because I read that the Navifly/Mekede ones do not sent the proper low-level line output signals the amplifier(s). I discovered that Joying's firmware does not allow making hands-free phone calls using Google Assistant. When I give the voice command "Hey Google, call mom", it responds with "I'm not able to make calls yet". Has anyone has been able to make this work with the Navify/Mekede head units? I asked some resellers and they said that I can pay $15 more for "Voice software" that will allow Google Assistant to work. Is this true?

I have 2 weeks to return my Joying for a refund, which I'm now considering. I contacted Joying support directly, and they responded that since I bought it on AliExpress I should contact my seller for support. When I asked the seller about the issue, they told me to install a firmware update dated 2021.7.5 to see if that solves it, but the result was the same. I regret spending so much more on a Joying brand and getting bad support.
[FYT Android Head Units] marchnz:
Don't take it too hard, they are all mostly the same in terms of device support and universal unwillingness to fix that last 10% of software bugs which I think would make these units unbeatable value.

Yes even that odd spelling and probably just as mispronounced "T" brand.

That said, I was able to obtain spare parts out of both one of the xtrons resellers (who ever they are) and the forum Dasiata contact. I brought a Joying once, I wont make the same mistake.
