Hello I have run into a big problem, I unlocked bootloader and tried to flash xiaomi.eu it failed and now my device is in the EDL mode I cant exit it and when I try to flash ROM stock China in MiFlash the following error always appears: "write time out" Please, do you have any solution for this?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] empty.cad:
i have unbrick , but i can't to free . sorry
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Asnamus:
I have locked my phone once in edl mode , even took it in to service for repear and they were unable to fix it. Even took it in 2 reapir shops. But luckily I did more google and found solution, even I did try it for 3 days before I decided to take it to repair.

There is a special xiaomi ulnocking tool that just unlock edl and unbrick phone. It helped me so try to find this tool , I have no link and dont know where did I managed to find it and download it.

It is a different than official unlocking bootloader tool.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] RexXxuS:
Sounds like the issue I have.

Even though I'm not even sure if mine is in EDL mode.

The one and only "life sign" I get is an unknown driver in Windows that pops up, when I USB connect it to my PC.

I tried at least 10 different drivers without success so far.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Accidd:
You won't be able to recover from this state. Your only hope is to disassemble the phone, unscrew the mainboard cover and do a testpoints method to open EDL port. Then flash china rom using MiFlash. Unfortunately that needs an authorized account.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] RexXxuS:
thanks @Accidd

Does anyone know where the test points of the Mi 11 are?

This is how far I got right now

Hi Everyone

I was rooting My op7 pro after updating to open beta android 11. While i was booting twrp it shows Fastboot Mode screen And stuck on that

Hope i ll find possible solution from the community

Regards

ali_hamza
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] benjaminries:
I went through something similar. I'm reading that TWRP does not support Android 11 yet, so I think we have to do without it for now.

Steps I took:

Disconnect any USB

Hold down vol up, vol down, and power until screen goes black

Do this again until you actually get to normal fastboot mode

Connect to your PC

On your PC if you haven't already, download and install adb/fastboot tools, python, and the payload dumper tool - see Extract Android OTA Payload.bin File using Payload Dumper Tool (thecustomdroid.com)

On your PC, download the ROM zip of the Android 11 beta for OnePlus 7 Pro from the OnePlus forums

Open the Zip and extract the payload.bin file

Follow the instructions above to extract boot.img from payload

Open an admin command prompt and cd to a folder where you have adb/fastboot and this boot.img file

To make sure your phone is properly connected to your PC with correct drivers etc, run fastboot devices

Run fastboot flash boot boot.img

Run fastboot reboot

This got me back into an unrooted Android 11 system. My recovery is messed. I think there's a way to directly patch the boot.img file with Magisk and flash that. Will need to work on getting TWRP back if/when someone figures that out (or when it is supported)

Once you're unrooted and running on the Android 11 beta:

connect to your PC

tell Android to go into file transfer mode

take boot.img file from above instructions and copy it to the root of your phone storage

open the Magisk Manager app, click to install Magisk, and then choose Patch boot image

resulting patched boot image file will be saved to your phone's Downloads folder

back on the PC, pull this patched boot img file back onto your PC and into your fastboot folder

reboot phone into fastboot mode (using volup+voldn+power)

Run fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_?????.img (your file will have a unique name)

Run fastboot reboot

Now you're rooted.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] calripkenturner:
You should just be able to run direct install after you boot to A11 with the patched boot image.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] benjaminries:
Some of us will have followed a standard Oxygen OS beta update flash cycle of:

Download the beta update

Reboot to recovery (TWRP)

Flash update, wipe dalvik

Flash TWRP installer to patch new boot image

Reboot to recovery (from recovery, to get A/B slot switched)

Flash Magisk to patch boot image for root

Reboot to system

I bricked at step 5 because TWRP installer didn't play nice with the new Android 11 boot image. Even when I flashed the latest unofficial TWRP from fastboot, the best I could get was a TWRP that couldn't decrypt filesystem... and after that, a bootloop that just flashed the TWRP load screen briefly every second, between black screens.

I'm super appreciative of OnePlus for having such a reliable way to get back to fastboot no matter what. I take it that when I extracted the OP stock boot image from beta and flashed it in fastboot, I also overwrote TWRP with stock recovery? It no longer seems like recovery is a separate partition to be flashed - nothing from the payload file seemed to be it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] benjaminries:
Wait... you don't mean "direct install" of TWRP, do you? Is there a version that supports Android 11 filesystem decryption? Wouldn't that also get rid of root? What is it that you think should be directly installed after successful boot of Android 11 with Magisk patched boot image?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] calripkenturner:
No, direct install of magisk. Check the twrp thread in the rom and development section. There is already a patched boot image and instructions on rooting. Twrp isnt working yet as far as I know.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] benjaminries:
Got it. Yeah my Magisk Manager was still installed from previous beta, but it took away the "direct install" option when I lost root from flashing the unpatched boot.img. Personally I would always rather patch my own boot.img file than rely on something from a filesharing service, especially when trying to get out of brick...

But I can see how until proper TWRP support comes, we can just use Magisk to patch alternate boot slot before rebooting but immediately after flashing the latest OOS beta using the regular system update process. Hindsight...
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] esi2121:
need to use orangfox recovery
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] benjaminries:
Hard to find documentation suggesting OrangeFox works with Android 11 filesystem encryption or OOS 11 beta specifically. Does it?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] esi2121:
Check the orangefox ,it's only recovery support a11 for now
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] benjaminries:
Yeah I did, and I could not find any evidence that it supports the new Android 11 filesystem encryption.

Changelog suggests much of the core functionality is ported from TWRP - that OrangeFox is more or less a fork with extra functions and a better interface.

The reason users of both TWRP and OrangeFox have been able to use custom Android 11 ROMs is that those roms are kind of a Frankenstein - they're based on Android 10 AOSP with Project Treble packages from Android 11. OOS 11 beta seems to have different partition architecture?

I think we need to wait until somebody reports their actual experience with OOS 11 beta on a custom recovery.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] ali_hamza:
Yesterday i download and tried to flash Pitch Black Recovery Project but results were same.

I think there should be some changes regarding A11 in any recovery so the best is that we should wait for their( Devs) further response
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] esi2121:
yup thats it , but in orangefox git said official support A11
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] benjaminries:
Check out this (now locked) thread though: it seems like there's no working port of OrangeFox for guacamole that supports OOS11 yet... lots of people bricking and boot-looping on the hope that there might have been!

I think its WF6 which you might be referring too? which is still a relatively new standard.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Trashking:
Ok... For some reason my 5Ghz at home wasn't showing up (for a couple days)

Then now it just showed up as an option.

Weird.

After looking around online, there were some rumors that the screen refresh rate set to 120Hz might interfere with the 5Ghz wifi. For anyone else looking, that setting had nothing to do with my issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Syed Elhem:
U have to set ur 5GHZ wifi to channel 155 (for my router there was no 155, i chose 157 instead) in order for ur s20 FE to find it. then u will be able to see the "SSD" of ur 5GHZ wifi in "Available networks" under the wifi settings tab. My router supports both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz so put different names for both and after selecting the channle i was able to see the 5Ghz one!

I discovered it when I saw a 5Ghz wifi with 155ch visible with an app called wifi analyzer (under the "Access points" tab). Then i changed my channel to that and Voila! there it is. Also, sometimes i couldn't find my 5Ghz wifi in the settings. In that case i used the same app to find my wifi under the "Access Points" tab and double click on it, then it would give me an option "Connect?"

Hope this helps y'all!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Syed Elhem:
yeah thats becos of the channel keeps on changing. set the channel to 155 or anything else closest to 155!

Just a side note .....

Nova launcher, has offered, this feature, (Google Companion /Feed ) for quite a few years now.

I've been using Google feeds on my Samsung phones .... who knows... since Note 8... Note 9 days..? (no root required etc)

So i don't think to many users, will be anxious, get it on a Samsung launcher .?

(I might be wrong)

Anyway just my opinion.

Good luck. .

Yes, Willcor, as you said, you might be wrong. If you know the answer to the original question, no matter if you think users won't be anxious to get the feed on a Samsung launcher, could you share, please? I am one of those "not anxious" users who doesn't want to change my launcher, but I'd like the Google News feed instead. Thank you! 😊

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] ajinkya0721:
TWRP recovery used to ask for a password to decrypt/mount my storage.

I flashed a new image to update the recovery and wiped my data too as I wanted to flash another rom,

but now when I'm opening the recovery with my password, it shows "Wrong Password"

and I can't mount storage and that's why I can't flash another rom.

Please help.

Hello, to delete the encrypted partition if you don't know the password, you have to format it, but if you don't want to lose something of what there is, install Orangefox recovery, the same thing happened to me and this recovery mounts the partition even if it is encrypted. ...

Mine's worst, despite the efforts of wiping and formatting I still can't install a rom due to unable to mount storage problem. I hope anyone help me, this will speed up my nonstop search for a fix -_-
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] wasim_shahzad_81:
Dear i am facing the same problem. This is what happens when we install a rom without logging out our passwords and accounts from the device. The Lockscreen password is the one which encrypts the storage. And when we try to flash another rom without decrypting our storage on the first hand.. It stucks.... TWRP will never be able to decrypt it. The only one solution which i have in my mind is to relock the bootloader through Stock Rom and then unlocking the bootloader might have the chances to resolve the issue. Just thinking to do so.......... Its an idea rather........
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] xdajbsolis:
I see but for some reasons I can't flash the exactly same firmware stock rom, it always says corrupted file, I dunno what will I do now, I tried every versions of my phone's stock roms all with the same error corrupted file. I'm using orange fox recovery cause I can't seem to find a compatible TWRP since I updated to latest firmware, by the way my phone is RMX2061_11_C23. I tried using adb sideload but with no luck. I'm still stuck...
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] n1troV:
Hello!

I just wanted to know if this phones' software have ads anywhere in the UI? If yes, is there an option to opt-out?

Secondly, I've heard Xiaomi phones are notorious for having stock apps that ask for unwanted permission to function (eg: calculator wanting to access contacts etc.), is this one a victim of that?

Also does the stock os has an option to disable gesture based navigation and use on-screen navigation bar instead?

Finally, does it come with 3rd party keyboard(like swiftkey etc.) out of the box, or how is the built-in one in terms of privacy? Was it known for data gathering in the past?

If you have the device in hand, please do check these things and let me know. Are there anything else that I should be aware of, like known issues? I am not planning to flash custom roms or modify deeply.

Thanks in advance.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] cbw:
@n1troV I have been using my M3 for more than one month, I hope that I have answered all your questions.

1. ads anywhere in the UI?

Yes, in all Xiaomi system apps, you have to go through the settings in each of them and choose to trun off "Recommendations", to disable ads for each app.

2. unwanted permission

The calculator in MIUI does not require any permissions, in the settings, the Storage permission is listed, but denied, the calculator can still be used without the permission. There are a lot of pre-installed Google apps. The dialer, messages, and contacts apps are also from Google.

(Edit: The Taiwanese version uses the original MIUI dialer app and messages app)

3. option to disable gesture based navigation

Yes, it can be changed in the settings, please see the screenshot below.

View attachment 5195209

4. 3rd party keyboard

Yes, it came with Gboard pre-installed, you can install a different keyboard, if you do not want to use it. By default, Gboard sends analytics data back to Google, but that can be disabled in the settings.

I am using the stock MIUI ROM, and the fingerprint unlocking was very slow when I got the phone, but after getting two system updates, now the unlocking speed is faster.

If possible, I suggest that you can use Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools (can be downloaded from GItHub) to debloat the phone with adb, to remove some unwanted system apps like MSA , WMService, Analytics, Chrome and other Google apps.

I used the phone for navigation several times, and the GNSS accuracy is about 4m, it is usually enough, but sometimes if another road is too close, the maps app thinks I am on the other road.

By default, VoWiFi is not enabled on this phone, but it can be enabled by disabling carrier check, using the code *#*#869434#*#* in the dialer.

If privacy is important to you, you can use a private DNS service like AdGuard DNS or NextDNS to block unwanted connections.

The phone is not perfect, but it is still a good phone for its price. If you want to have more RAM and an ultra-wide-angle camera, you can take a look at Redmi 9T, it has almost the same hardware, but it's better, and its price is the same as or similiar to M3's price, depending on which country you are in.

You can ask me if you have any other questions about the phone.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] n1troV:
Thank you very much! You've answered pretty much all of questions I had and then some. I was unaware of the sluggish fingerprint sensor and inaccurate GPS, neither of which are dealbreakers to me, personally.

I've considered 9T too, I actually dig the design language of that one abit more than M3 and there's a slight bump in performance too. It's significantly more expensive compared to the m3 where I live though.

By the way, have you tested read/write performance of the ufs storage on the m3? If you have some free time, please do run passmarks' disk benchmark utility and share some screenshots along with the storage capacity.

Moreover, are there any noticeable lags/frame drops in the UI, delays in app opening? I am not expecting ~$150 phone to perform like ~$1000 flagships but I'd like to know what the general user experience is like.

And thanks for the tips on secure DNS. I was thinking of implementing pihole for network-wide ad-blocking, will look into private DNS services too.

Thanks again for taking your time to write a well-detailed reply, cheers! :)
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] cbw:
@n1troV It takes about 2 seconds for the phone to open an app, I have tested with different apps. I think it's acceptable for the price.

My previous phone had SD625 chip, and M3 has SD662 chip, after changing to M3, I feel that M3 is a lot faster.

There is one thing I forgot to mention, this phone has dual speakers, but when I tried it the bottom speaker is a lilltle louder than the top speaker, I think when I watched review videos of M3, someone also mentioned this problem.

I will test the storage speed tomorrow when I have time.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] cbw:
Below is a screenshot of passmark.

View attachment 5195973

(Edit: The phone has 4GB of RAM, but passmark only shows 3GB)

I have the 128GB version, so the storage is UFS 2.2, the SD card I use is Kingston Canvas Select Plus 32GB.

I also have another screenshot of the CIT mode, it shows the hardware information of the phone.

View attachment 5195975

To show you what it feels like to open apps and to scroll through Google Play on the phone, I have recorded a video using the built-in screen recorder, it is in the attached zip file.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] n1troV:
Thank you! The ufs storage performance was abit underwhelming though. Have you had an emmc 5.1 based phones in the past? I suppose those chips perform about the same in benchmarks. In fact, having ufs based storage is one of the main reasons I've considered m3 hoping it would help sustain good overall ui performance/snappiness although that does not seem to be the case here.

As for the muffled earpiece speaker; I guess i can pass on that since even higher end phones suffer from the same issue likely due to the fact that there isn't much space in phones with edge-to edge displays and camera hardware to fit a better speaker.

Does this phone support streaming off of popular platforms? There used to be a requirement of some codecs or something along those lines to support drm enabled streaming out of the box iirc, can this one do?

Lastly; if you're in the market for sub $200 phone and m3 and 9t are not your options, what would be your next best pick? Just curious.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] cbw:
@n1troV Previously, I had used two different Redmi phones, both with emmc storage, and they have Snapdragon 435 and Snapdragon 625 chips.

After start using my M3, when I transfered files from my laptop to the M3 using a USB cable, it still took a long time, the speed of transfering files from PC does not feel any faster than my previous phones that have emmc storage. I think this is because the phone only has a USB 2.0 port.

The phone supports Widevine L1 DRM certification, so it can play DRM content at the maximum quality.

I have not played any DRM content on it, but the "DRM Info" app shows that the security level is L1.

View attachment 5196147

I already got used to XIaomi's MIUI, since I used two Redmi phones previously, I would only choose a phone that is made by Xiaomi, this is why I bought the M3.

Before I bought the M3, I had thought about buying other phones that are made by Xiaomi, including Redmi Note 8T (It is not sold in where I live), Redmi Note 9 Pro (It supports NFC, but it is too expensive), and Redmi 9.

When I decided to buy a new phone, because the Redmi phone I was using (Redmi 6 Pro) had GPS issues, last year, I went to XIaomi's website again, and saw that there was a new phone called POCO M3, and I compared its specs with Redmi 9.The specs of M3 are a better than Redmi 9's, except that the CPU of Redmi 9 has better performance, and Redmi 9 has a wide-angle camera. So I decided to buy the M3, since I don't take photos often, and I don't play mobile games.

After using the M3, I feel that the side-mounted fingerprint sensor is a lot more convenient than the rear-mounted fingerprint sensors that my previous phones have, with the side-mounted fingerprint sensor, it's easy to unlock the phone even when it is on the table.
