Title: Bootloader Unlock Issue on Vivo Y21s

Hello,I am encountering difficulties unlocking the bootloader on my Vivo Y21s. There is no Vivo y21s s category so I'm posting it here hoping to get some help.

I have followed these steps:

Enabled Developer Options and OEM Unlock.

Rebooted into fastboot mode.

Attempted the commands fastboot oem unlock and fastboot flashing unlock.

However, I am still getting an "unknown command" error.

My device is detected by fastboot devices and can reboot with fastboot reboot, but the command fastboot getvar unlocked shows "unlocked: no".

Has anyone managed to unlock the bootloader on this model or can offer suggestions?Thank you in advance for your help.

I often find when I'm stopped at traffic lights and stuff my phone tings... and its trying to connect me to some random wi-fi network! It also does the same at work and its increadibly annoying... especially when you're slyly texting in the toilet!!

How can I turn this off?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rudegar:
if you disable it when you dont use wifi

you will also save a lot of batt
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] p3eps:
I'd rather not have to turn the wi-fi off to be honest. I'd rather have a way of stopping it from constantly searching for a network.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wilfmoralee:
That's just daft, takes 2 secs to turn wi-fi off and back on and that would solve your problem. And like the person above it would save your battery - which we all need on the diamond!!

There is an app out there even called wi-fi on/off, that you add to your favourite programs, and makes it EVEN quicker to turn your wi-fi on and off.

I can imagine any other solution to this made up problem would be entirely longer than just switching your wi-fi off.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Deceneu:
Just go to Wi-Fi Settings; then go to Menu/Advanced->Turn On available network notifications and uncheck it; i think it will still search for wireless networks, but won't notify you (so battery usage doesn't decrease).

Hope this helps.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] p3eps:
Thanks... thats exactly what I was looking for.

I knew I'd seen it somewhere, but couldn't find it again.

I use Wi-Fi for about 80% ofmy day - so I don't ever turn it off. Its just when I'm out, or in the car etc it seems to pick up stray networks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] steveianson:
Only problem is - every time you reset the device it resets to search again:(
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
So both my sister and I have the same model unlocked Pixel 5 and are using our phones on T-Mobile's network as well.

I've noticed that on my phone I get the Google Play system update (not to be confused with the main phone/security update) whenever I do a manual check for it and a new one's available (Settings, Security, Google Play system update, tap on "Check for update"). But when I do the same thing on her phone, it doesn't update it, even after I restart and ensure that the Google Play Store app is up-to-date as well.

Eventually her phone finally got the December 1 update a couple weeks ago after I tried again, but then now there's a January 1 update and once again mine let me download it right away, but her phone refuses to update that regardless of what I do (main update it does do just fine though).

I'm guessing it will update it soon enough, but why the delay? Can anyone explain why two IDENTICAL phones won't update this at the same time when manually prompted?

Hey Saturday Night,

Thanks for the link. However, even if it does work for her phone, I still would rather not use it b/c doing so doesn't solve the actual issue of why it's not updating it automatically, or at the very least, when I attempt to update it manually (by doing a recheck).

It seems to update eventually, but I just find it annoying that my phone will do it when I recheck, but not her's. Makes no sense since again we have the same model phone and are on the same carrier.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Same thing happens to me but in reverse. My wife P5 gets it and then about a month later I get it on my P5. I don't really think about it since it really doesn't affect anything. Is there a reason you feel you need it?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Hey Bobby,

Ok, so it's not JUST me. Good to know. lol

No, not really. As I'd mentioned, it's really not a big deal. I just hope it doesn't indicate that there might be a deeper issue present with her phone. Also, I just hate that I can't explain why it happens at all. lol
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
The only thing I can think of is that it's a staged rollout and a random one at that. I update my phone's apps more often than she does so I figured that might be it and then forgot about it. A month later it popped up. I believe the monthlies are way more critical and those come at the same time.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
You are correct. It's a scattered release.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Yes. I agree with you both. This answer seems to make the most sense, and so therefore I'm going to consider this issue resolved.

Thank you all so much for your posts!!

That's not really an update but more of a place holder. The real update is much larger and can't be installed with an apk. It will change the date to make it look up to date but that's it.

What you want to do is to upgrade, not to update. Upgrading doesn't depend on extisting prior versions.

Soo can i go 9?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
If you

can unlock phone's bootloader,

can flash a suitable Custom Recovery ( as TWRP ),

find a Custom ROM ( as Lineage OS ) what is based on Android 9

then you can give it a try.
[General Questions and Answers] Timmmmaaahh!:
Yes. This will in most cases work. However! Because there will be so many different components, it is much advised to make it a clean flash. You could, theoretically, dirty flash a few android versions onward if the base (eg. AOSP) is the same and it may work without any implications but some will likely arise in the future.

Essentially, flashing the Android OS is the similar to installing Windows on a computer. You can install Windows for workgroups 3.11 on a system, format C:, then install Windows 10. Both versions will work fine independently and you can install any version at any time. If you'd upgrade from Vista to 10 (dirty), though, things may get a bit ugly.

Another aspect to consider is official vs. aftermarket support. It's smart to flash the latest official release before diving into the wonderful world of ROMs. Take the OnePlus One from 2014 for example. That one needed to be flashed with CyanogenMod 13 to work properly with any subsequent systems, including Android 11 today. This was due to an ugly breakup between CM and OnePlus. CM13 (Android 6) was the last version that contained proper hardware drivers all newer systems are based on so if you jumped from CM12 (Android 5) to LineageOS 15 (Android 8), that usually delivered some issues, while flashing from CM13 to LOS15 was no problem.

Good luck and let us know how it went!

Just copy it to your internal storage and flash it, then format it, reboot, job done.
[General Questions and Answers] H3ST0RI4:
can you tell me the command for creating internal storage?
[General Questions and Answers] Bhanu8082:
HI, H3ST0RI first thing mokee rom are good and mainted but version 7.1.2 is very stable and second thing if you want android 9 try stable version from official site https://download.mokeedev.com/?device=aries

thirdly, not use nightly builds they unstable

fourthly, mokee roms mess up with system partitions so i will tell you how to restore them
[General Questions and Answers] Bhanu8082:
about restoring partition,

1) do you have twrp recovery installed if not flash it.

2) open twrp go to advanced section and click terminal button

3) terminal will show us just type df and then some lines will show up as seen in image

View attachment 5199123

see carefully at right corner my phone (samsung) has /sdcard and /external_sd

so my internal storage is that sdcard one your phone may show internal storage as internal storage so look carefully

what i mean from all this things is to look at left most corner of image against sdcard block no is mmcblk0p23 which is important thing to see then rest is just command

after you find your block just use

mke2fs /dev/block/??????

replace ?????? with block name for your phones internal storage

and then abra ka dabra your internal storage is alive.

be happy bro.
[General Questions and Answers] H3ST0RI4:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Stormwing:
So I did a stupid and flashed over a single-sim N9600's EFS partition with a dual-sim N9600's, and now the single-sim one won't accept any SIM cards with an invalid/network locked SIM error. I've tried just about everything besides zeroing the EFS (because I don't know how to to that) and so all I can do now is ask all of you beautiful people if anyone could share a TWRP EFS backup from a single-sim N9600 to (hopefully) save mine.

My apologies for being dumb, and thanks in advance everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Alboooz:
I'm not so sure you can use EFS from one other phone, but if it works then, what consequences might have the owner of the original phone if there is in question security breach?!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Stormwing:
I'm not 100% sure myself, but some if the Snapdragon devs said it might be able to rescue it. As for security concerns, what sort of security breaches would you be referring to?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Alboooz:
EFS is my phone identify, imei and serial number is in it, if happen to do something illegally over internet, social-media, money laundering or any other crazy things, justice might or will hold me accountable, and is not good idea for me to share that.

But, i think is better for you to check about how to resolve EFS problem, there is e developer who posted one article about to rescue or generate and solve this problem, so check about note edge or note4 as much as i remember.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Stormwing:
Fair enough. What's odd is that the IMEI still matches the phone itself. When I didn't know what I was doing and overwrote the EFS partition with the backup TWRP did say the restore failed, and was unable to write, but the devs said seeing that was normal. Could the problem be the modem partition instead, or something?

I saw the Note 4/etc threads about zeroing EFS, but since they're quite old I wasn't sure if those instructions still applied to newer devices and if they would break things further than they already are. Should I make another thread asking about that for contemporary devices or would those old instructions still be okay?

After 2-3 weeks of storing two of my credit cards in my Diamond leather case they have become less readable at the cashier.

A coincidence or can credit cards be affected by being stored too closed to the Diamond. Can a small magnetic pad in the case, which keeps it closed, make cards unreadable?

:confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] m00moo:
magnets + electronic devices/items = no.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] karlth:
Why then do a vast number of leather cases have magnets??

This is the one I'm using: http://www.amazon.com/DLO-HipCase-Leather-Folio-touch/dp/B000WOIFO2

(DLO for iPod Touch (it fits)).

Aren't these things tested??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] m00moo:
if mobile phone cases use magnets then im sure they would create it in a way that it will not affect the device itself. same for the diamond. Stylus magnet does not affect the device. BUT when you start adding crap that doesnt belong there you will get problems.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] steveianson:
The magnetic strip is not used any more. All readers read the chip on the front and in no way can the Diamond affect this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] karlth:
The case has a credit card slot, so the manufacturer probably expects a credit card to be put in there someday. :)

I am just wondering whether the combination of a case magnet alongside the heat from the Diamond (I often cycle with it in the case with GPS on) might affect the credit card.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Riel:
Hmm, the strip is used here mostly (netherlands).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sergio PC:
I thought this was an urban myth.

We have a magnet on the side of the phone.

And various puches and wallets carry magnets.

The main problem is the electromagnetic filed created by the GSM part of the phone. It's simple : do not store a GSM with a credit card or other things that use magnetic fields.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] halloj:
Not on my card, still uses the magnetic info.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] KukurikU:
25 points! this is the correct answer. not the tinny magnet for the stylus, not the weak magnet of the case.....the very strong and harmful (even for yr health) electromagnetic radiation generated and received by yr phone even when you are not in a call. try not to use yr phone when in an elevator, car (without antenna) or any confined or open space with bad reception.

bad reception=high level of electromagnetic radiation.

an interesting fact: the only mobile phone that was designed to lower the quantity of electromagnetic radiation we absorb (very bad for our health) was Motorola V3. why? because its antenna was in the lower part (your chin) and not on the upper part (yr ear and brain).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] woggle:
if you put the a phone next to a speaker and call the phone you can make the speaker go nuts with the magnetic field generated by the phone, so wouldnt supprise me if can screw up a credit card being so close to the phone.

But i do remember a mythbuster episode on wiping a credit card with magnets can be done with rare earth magnets maybe they should try again with a mobile.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] karios:
This is a copy-paste from page 12 of the manual PDF:

"

Please avoid putting any media that contains magnets,

e.g. magnetic card, credit cards, bank cards, audio/

video tape or magnetic memory devices, directly on

the device or stylus without any distance.

It is highly recommended to put the media containing

magnets in a security distance of at least 5 cm. If you

carry your wallet or billfold which contains magnetic

cards next to the device or its stylus, information

stored on these cards could be destroyed.

Please make sure that there is an adequate distance between

the device or its stylus and other magnetic sensitive devices,

e.g., a mechanical watch or measure instruments.

"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] laika424:
In Gothenburg some of the cards that you use for the public transport system contains a magnetic strip and the stip is so sensitive that it is enough to have the card next to a credit card to destroy it. So magnetic strips sucks because they are very sensitive to magnetism of any kind.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rumpleforeskin:
the answers in this thread do not all agree with one answer. which mean some people are expressing opinions and not facts.

the level of magnetism required to affect a credit card is quite large and usually only achievable with powerfully electro magnets.

neither the magnets nor the radio in the diamond produce a strong enough field to effect your credit card so you can now sleep worry free knowing your card is not being harmed
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] incredulous:
The size of a magnet required to wipe/rearrange the electromagnetic field on a MagStrip is only the size of a penny or a 5 pence piece.

You talk of a slot 'designed' for credit cards, does it specifically say 'credit card here' on it? These companies produce enough of these devices to know that a cellular signal/broadcast is more than enough to wipe the information of the ancient MagStrip. The magnetic and sonar equipment used in aircraft is also similarly affected.

Someone also said of how most places use 'Chip & PIN' now. Although this is true, the chip only stores PIN information and a majority of retailers pinpads have magnetic readers to read the account details.

Maybe now, you'll think about how you play around with magnets. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hooty:
Not sure..

About the diamond, but I can say for relative certainty that my X7501 will kill a hotel room key in seconds flat, the magstripe kind that is... (works really well when you get your phone near that one annoying jerk holding you up at the front desk while yelling about the soap placement in the shower...)...

*ordered* Diamond - will never be plugged in to my saturn.....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rumpleforeskin:
i cant speak for one particular hotel room key but in general it takes over 3000 Gauss magnetic field to affect a modern credit card just by exposure and about 1400 gauss magnet if you repeatedly swipe the card accross the field.

you can buy neodymium magnets this powerfull and they are actually rather small for the strength they posses, but the field generated by these are far in excess of anything produced by the diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] karlth:
After reading the thread I'm as confused as ever :confused:

Can a small magnet(about a pinhead in diameter) and a GSM phone destroy the magnetic strip of a credit card?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] m00moo:
its really simple. for a more specific and rock answer

1) google for a result about cell phones + credit cards

or

2) dont do it again and save yourself some hassle

or

3) do a test and repeat it again and find out for yourself

:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hooty:
For a credit card, yes, I know it takes a lot of magnetism to undo those. But hotel keycards are not credit cards, and from experience, seem to be far more susceptible to loss of data at the smallest exposure to any other magnetic source (even sitting next to other credit cards) but I know that I used to have a stack of cards that my X7501 had wiped out so they were no longer recognized by the door locks. I don't know if it is something inherent in the design, such as a weaker field because it is assumed a key is only going to be used for a day or two (versus a credit card with a much stronger one). I can't say 100% for sure, because I'm no expert in the field. I only have my experience to speak of.
