I used the search function but it still isnt working for me. I picked up a locked 8525 from a guy off craigslist. Its stuck on the tri-color bootscreen. He said it worked fine until he took his sim card out and reinserted it today. he said he didnt flash the ROM or anything. I tried the wiki suggested fixes to no avail. I installed active sync and unchecked the allow usb connections and tried to reboot the phone. Nothing. It said it couldnt find my phone. Pulled the battery, reset, nothing. Please help. He gave it to me for $50 because it was stuck.

Downloaded and tried to flash your stock rom? Or via the SD card method, can you get it into the bootloader?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mark1914:
Thank you for replying. I downloaded the WM6 upgrade directly from the HTC site. After I downloaded it to my computer and plugged in the phone to run the program it got to a point then said "ERROR, replace installer" something along those words. It appeared to me that the WM6 version from HTC was outdated or too old to be loaded. Its stuck on the 3 color screen so I assume thats the bootloader screen. I am going to try it again on a different computer at work this morning.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mark1914:
Downloaded the ROM from HTC. Plugged in the phone and got ERROR 260. Unplugged it and changed to another USB and same thing. Its as if the computer doesnt recognize the phone at all.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mark1914:
Nothing. Computer doesnt recognize the phone. Should I try downloading a ROM to a micro SD card then inserting it? Will it load on its own when inserted?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Whats the SPL on the bootloader (tri-colour screen)?

You need to have Hard SPL on your phone before you try to upgrade the os using the sd card method. If its Hard SPLed then the SPL should say SPL : 2.10 olipro.

Cheers...:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mark1914:
Thats what it says SPL-2.10.Olipro. I tried the sd card method an it would say Update completed then when I did a softreset it jumped back to the bootloader screen. When I try the USB method, the computer cant connect to the device. Its not the computer because my colleague connected his iphone to the same port and it works.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] skeeve666:
i have just got one of these phones as a update from my poor poor xda2i.. as i wanted wm6 :P

i had a prob with the pc not connecting, i was trying to connect to it using a powered usb hub, u have to use a usb port directly connected to your pc, with no hubs or extenders, this worked 100% for me, and you are using a pc running XP not vista? as the flashing software was only designed for 2k/xp, this was the same with my old xda2i

and pls dont mention *spit* the iphone *spit* in a xda forum!!! LOL
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mark1914:
ha ha, I wont mention the "other" phone anymore. How do I tell if its a direct port and not a powered one? Yes, I'm using XP on both my computers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
OK, best thing to try is to see if theres bad blocks on the device.

Leave the device in bootloader, run mtty.exe and connect to USB.

use the command "info 8" to see if there are bad blocks....paste the output here for us.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mark1914:
downloaded mtty.exe and I dont have the USB port in the pulldown menu. Just com1 com4 ports
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mark1914:
reloaded mtty.exe and went down to USB. Hit OK and a pop up said USB port can not open
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mark1914:
I will try to find a picture of the screen its stuck on
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mark1914:
This what my screen looks like. This is how I got the phone as well. It will flash a ROM but when I soft reset it, it goes back to this screen. I followed the WIKI guide for flashing via sdCard was great! I followed the instructions perfectly. I soft reset by pushing in the button on the bottom of the phone and thats it. Nothing else. What am I doing wrong? Also, mtty.exe says it cant open USB port. Do I leave those other settings alone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
hmm looks strangely like the image from my guide site?? :p :p

tbh if you cant access the bootloader with mtty we cant help you....you most likely have bad blocks which is causing it not to boot.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] CRCinAU:
I bet you haven't disabled USB port on ActiveSync....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mark1914:
:) Yes I did lol. I think you're right bad blocks and its no good. Could the usb plug on the phone be messed up?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mark1914:
ha ha yep got it from your site. Whats the newest version of mtty? I downloaded the first version I think.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] skeeve666:
if you cannot get your phone working and your willing to sell it i would gladly take it off ya hands, i bought a secondhand m3100 ad it looks like its been thought the wars, i wana ew case and screen, so if ya interested and can take a paypal payment :P for the right price of cause.

but i hope you get it up and running, as i love this phone
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mark1914:
I may have to sell it for parts. Its super bricked. I have loaded 3 different ROMS, OS onlys, on sdCards to no avail. I tried 4 different computers and its still stuck in bootloader. I am about to run it over with my car:mad:

Hi there, I installed it on my curtana device, it's the best Pixel like ROM I tried. Some features are missing for my usage, but I think (hope) they will come later, as hiding shortcuts on lockscreen, and volume buttons reorientation.

[POCO M2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rockinyoekagra:
Okay.. flashed this yesterday after MIUI 12.0.4.0. First custom ROM I have flashed on my curtana. So here are the initial impressions:

1. The UI - slick pixel goodness, a treat to sore eyes after months of torture from the extremely choppy animations of MIUI 12. There are occasional lags and the gesture navigation feels a bit choppy at times, but nothing too bad.

2. The radio performance - I am not sure about anyone else, but this solved a huge problem of mine. In MIUI I never used to get good 4G inside my house, I am not sure how this rom achieved it but I could see a noticeable difference in the connectivity. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth work as stated in OP.

3. Battery - Not too impressed, but hey thats Android 11 for you. Installing Naptime has helped a little with idle drain.

Quick question - How long does the battery on Curtana actually last for you guys? I have never had a chance to ask anyone....

4. Camera and Camcorder - As stated in OP, ANX is installed and works, so no complaints there.

Overall, a solid feature-packed, beautiful, heavily customizable and most importantly - stable ROM that I can daily drive and don't need to worry about missing any important calls from work because my stupid phone does not work😅. All thanks to XRPDigital, Aryan and all the other devs behind PEX.
[POCO M2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] BlakeU666:
After a while of not using the phone (about 5 hours), the touch wasn't working. I tried to restart it, but I couldn't, since the touch wasn't working, so I did a soft reset and it worked. Almost gave me a heart attack that the touch broke, but it was just the custom rom's issue.

[POCO M2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RynOs:
Thanks for the efforts.

Just one question, is it possible to make the Dark Mode black and not gray, in Settings/Statusbar/Extended Tiles... Please?

I'm not really advanced in flashes, but I dunno if it's possible to change it from settings, or maybe flash something in twrp to change it? (Joyeuse)

It's my 1st day in PEX, I was in Pixel Experience Plus before, and the backs were fully black.

Thanks a lot again !

Edit:

After digging the woderful customisations available, I finally found it.

If anyone's looking for it, it's in Settings > Display > Advanced

Under THEMING, in the Primary color list there's the "Amoled Black".

This ROM is great, but the microphone volume is very low on curtana. On MIUI it was great, but now it's way too low, and the quality when making voice recordings is worse. When sending voice messages or taking video via TikTok for example, it's way way way too quiet.

[POCO M2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jartron:
Device - Poco M2 Pro (gram)

Version - Pixel Extended 3.3

I have noticed some minor issues while using this build,

1. After hiding the notch, the gestures don't work. Also, would love to see rounded corners after hiding the notch, instead of rectangular corners at top.

2. The ideal battery drain looks unusual, even when airplane mode is switched ON.

For example, battery drain at night is around 10%..

3. After switching to portrait mode, the camera app freezes..

Everything else works smoothly. Good work, devs!

Hope to see even more improvements in the next build. Hopefully, next build would be on A12.. Thanks! :)

[Microsoft Surface Duo Real Life Review] vipfreak:
I picked this device up as a impulse buy to replace my Note 8 and even though there was quite a lot of negative talk about this phone mostly for the software I have to say I don't regret my purchase in terms of why I bought it. I was considering the Z Fold 2, but couldn't justify wasting THAT much money for something I'd most likely break just using it (screen). Anyway, the Duo has been a great multitasking device so far. The only area I'm highly disappointed by is not so much the crappy potato camera, but the fact 1. it takes soooo long to deploy the camera ready to take one. 2. the gigantic f$%&ing delay when taking a picture vs when the camera shutter sound signifies it took a picture. I'm hoping that future updates resolve this phones issues although it sounds like there hasn't been much attention given other than this past January... At any rate, I've bought a few things to improve the usability of this phone. Magnetic usb-c cable for charging and data transfer (miss Qi charging...) and added screen protectors. Finally made some vinyl overlays for the outsides and used CF for grip although negated when the screens are folded open.
[Microsoft Surface Duo Real Life Review] wez_p:
Looking forward to receiving mine next week to finally try dual screen. Will be interesting to see how it compares to the Note 10 I've been using for the last year or so, particularly for battery life. Also heard it doesn't support ARCore which will be disappointing as was key to one of the main uses I wanted this phone for.
[Microsoft Surface Duo Real Life Review] blackhawk:
Pretty cool👍

A lot better build than any of the Folds...
[Microsoft Surface Duo Real Life Review] vipfreak:
Honestly, I think you'll be disappointed straight away. You'll have to forget most of what you expect a android phone, much less a phone to be and learn how to navigate Microsoft's version of Android and a duel screen (not all Microsoft's fault and the nature of duel screens). With that said if you get comfortable enough with how they want you to do things you may start to love it more than any single screen phone and not want to go back. While I feel pretty adjusted and comfortable with using it for what it is as I was intending. With that said I've run into a few situations where the Duo will just NOT replace a phone at least a flag ship like what I was used to with my Note 8. I don't know if this good or good enough, but I can take the Duo off the charger, go to work, have the bluetooth connected to my headset, playing video, screen at around 15% brightness, be browsing the net or social media at the same time the video is playing and after my 8 hr shift be at around 10-5% battery left. Or I can do a charge for about an hr and a half? and be at around 80 - 90%? Not sure what ARCore is. Let me know if you need any info or help, although in some ways still learning myself.
[Microsoft Surface Duo Real Life Review] vipfreak:
Thanks, I feel like I'd have wrecked the screen if I had a Fold. I'm not hard on devices, but I still expect it to hold up since I have to use touch so much to interact.

I've changed the outer protectors since this original post. Since I have the ability to make my own vinyl stuff I've been experimenting with a logo. The CF was too big and was peeling at the edges so I needed to adjust the size of the vinyl and cut a new one out. My laptop for comparison to cover the stock logo.
[Microsoft Surface Duo Real Life Review] blackhawk:
Lol, the Folds are designed to self destruct like a Mission Impossible tape... brute force not needed🤣

This isn't intended as a phone per se but I really like the way it's hinged and its conservative but innovative solid design.

A sharp micro laptop... Gene Roddenberry would have loved it.

I'm very interested to hear what your experiences are like with it. It a cool hybrid🤗
[Microsoft Surface Duo Real Life Review] vipfreak:
Definitely agree. It's really nice hardware. Speaking of which I will watch re-runs of Star Trek TNG if it's on some times.

My primary use case is in "Nintendo DS" view where I have a screen for video playback on top and then I'm browsing the net, social media, or games on the bottom screen. This is where I think it shines the most. My second use case is like regular phone with one screen mostly for ease of typing like replying to a text message. A cool use case that I haven't done all that much is book view where I have youtube open playing a video and doing whatever on the other screen. This view is primarily nice if I have music playing off of youtube because usually if you try to multi task and youtube will stop the music and close the app entirely. With the Duo I don't have to worry about youtube taking up the screen since I have a secondary one. Something a single screen can't do. Why don't I pay youtube? I'm cheap and part Chinese. lol...
[Microsoft Surface Duo Real Life Review] Lynn7:
I bought mine Amazon $419 just to play and get to know - it is a fun device - I couldn't justify the Fold 3 which I had been using contemplating. If I trade this in for a Duo 2 and get US $250+ it's all good.

It fast charges really quickly. It can get to 40C and yes it drains battery terribly.

Even SwiftKey seems buggy - whole thing is more prototype than a finished product - they should be paying us!

But I think I'll wait for Android 12 at this point. 11 is a great already a year old. Also the I like to wait 4-6 months anyway for the any issues.

Hi,

If the Surface Duo was sold in France for 400€, I'd keep it too :)

But best brand new price I've found here is 800€ (for 256GB model) unfortunately.
