[Redmi Note 9T] vanthatou:
Problem not solved. Still LTE and 5G are the only options for sim1 and volte for sim1 grayed out.
[Redmi Note 9T] brasscupcakes:
Do you have or can you borrow a different sim from a different carrier and put it in that slot, then try checking it again? I don't know where you live but sometimes in the USA (where carriers get away with murder) the carries disable/gray out/hide menus, etc.

For example, in the USA, even after using the codes above to disable carrier checking for Volte and Wowfi, only Volte is enabled, because wifi calling must be turned on by the carrier.

It seems very odd that you can't set the preferred network, I know, but I also have this issue on an unlocked by ATT branded LG phone in the USA, so it's worth switching sims to see if anything changes.

Good luck!
[Redmi Note 9T] vanthatou:
You are right.

You are right. I did as you advised and all network options are shown and volte is not greyed out. It is indeed a problem of the carrier, not the phone then.

Thank you very much.
[Redmi Note 9T] brasscupcakes:
pardon me, you probably know this already, but just in case (cause I made this mistake myself) -- carrier checking has to be DISabled for features to be enabled. (I thought it was the opposite for a very long time).

I know that I probably won't get any help since this is a budget phone from a random company, but has anyone figured out how to get Android 10 on the phone? If not, does anyone know how to install Magisk or root this phone? I've read threads on how to install it, but they don't list this phone as supported. TWRP doesn't support Hot Pepper Ghost so how can I install Magisk? Kingoroot doesn't let me root the phone, so what is another way?

Do you know how to root after unlocking bootloader?

How can we pull the boot.img from the os?

There is no firmware available for download.
[General Questions and Answers] SR_72_Blackbird:
I managed to unlock the phone using MTK Client on Ubuntu and plan on rooting the phone and installing a GSI. However, I accidentally bootlooped the phone and I think it has to do with dm-verity. I managed to extract some of the important firmware like boot.img and system.img. However, I didn't patch the boot.img with Magisk before the bootloop happen. Would anyone who has a Hot Pepper Ghost (HPP GS1) be able to install Magisk Manager and patch the boot.img attached for me? It would be very appreciated as I think it would solve my bootloop.
[General Questions and Answers] SR_72_Blackbird:
I was able to get the boot.img and system.img using MTK Client after unlocking the bootloader. The post above has the boot.img and I would greatly appreciate if you could help me out with my problem.
[General Questions and Answers] googlephoneFKLenAsh:
Mind to share how you bootlooped, so that others can avoid it?

Patched with magisk 24312:
[General Questions and Answers] SR_72_Blackbird:
Unfortunately, the patched boot.img still didn't fix the bootloop.

Currently, I am attempting to build TWRP for the device to see if that can fix anything. I used the twrptgen command to make a device tree for the Ghost with the boot.img and am trying to build TWRP, but I am running into an error.

I have posted on this forum (page 240) if anyone could help with that.

In terms of bootlooping, the process of unlocking the bootloader with MTK Client as documented in the GitHub went fine. After booting, it did show a dm-verity error and orange state saying the bootloader had been unlocked, but all was still fine. Proceeding, I decided to try to flash a GSI and this is where I ran into problems. I attempted to flash the original system.img again, but that didn't work. Also for some reason it wouldn't boot into recovery, even though it should be tied into the boot.img not system.img because of the A/B partitioning. However, I still have access to BROM mode for MTK Client and fastboot mode. I think the bootloop has something to do with dm-verity and vbmeta.img, but I have tried a lot on those lines with no prevail.

I think there are two fixes to this problem. One being TWRP, if I can successfully build it, and the second flashing the entire stock firmware with a flash.bin file and starting over. I didn't realize until it was too late that I should have backed up everything into a flash.bin file using MTK Client, and instead only backed up specific partitions.

It would be awesome if you could help me and post a flash.bin file to this forum of the stock firmware for the Ghost. The instructions on how to do that are here, but in specific are as follows (on a Linux distribution, preferably Ubuntu):

sudo apt install python3 git libusb-1.0-0 python3-pip
git clone https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
cd mtkclient
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install
sudo usermod -a -G plugdev $USER
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
sudo cp Setup/Linux/*.rules /etc/udev/rules.d
sudo udevadm control -R

**Make sure to reboot now before proceeding**

**To put the Ghost into BROM mode (which is how you will read the partitions) make sure it is powered off. Then run this command:**

python3 mtk rf flash.bin

**Then, press and hold VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN, AND POWER, all at the same time, and at the same time, plug the phone into the computer with a USB cable.**

**The phone should start reading all the partitions and once it is done, it will have outputed a flash.bin file for the Ghost**
[General Questions and Answers] leviathon713:
Any update on this project? I've had two of these phones for years, would love to be able to load a different OS onto one of them.

One of mine appears to have already been flashed with a basic android 9. It has strange problems, like not detecting the fingerprint reader and a few other things I can't think of offhand. Anyway, you can tell it isn't the same as the other one.

The normal one I bought new, the odd one came from ebay.

Anyway, just wanted to check on this topic. I don't use either of them at this point. I like messing with these types of things for fun.

I'm going to try and get a TWRP working on this Hot Pepper today, I'll let you guys know...
[General Questions and Answers] NashvilleKarl:
No luck so far with the TWRP, I've tried several auto-porters for MTK but to no avail. I'll have to compile us one from source, not to mention it'd be nice to have a custom kernel available anyway so that;s what I'll be focused on now.

Also: I was able to reflash my /system partition with a Lineage 19.1 vanilla build and it works very nicely! I made a backup of my super partition afterwards so if any of you are interested in trying the new super.img let me know by private message
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Before someone comes and flames me for creating a new thread (*hide from DaveShaw*) let me explain:

I have created a Wiki page for users who are stuck at the SPL (a.k.a Bootloader, Tri-Colour screen etc.):

Kaiser_stuck_at_bootloader ​

This has helped out a number of users who have become stuck at the SPL but every day I see more and more users getting stuck and creating new thread, or going off topic in other threads.

What to do if you get stuck:

Read the Wiki Page and follow the advice: Kaiser_stuck_at_bootloader

If you have tried all the steps in the wiki and still have a problem, read the feedback from other users in this thread and any advice I give out in this thread.

If you are still having problems please post all the details you can about what you have done and what version ROM / Radio / SPL you are running in this thread.

Nice thread. Worth a sticky since it seems to be happening quite frequently lately;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GSLEON3:
Thanks to much I have learned from Master Jocky_W, I am currently working on hacking o a couple of Jockey's new HardSPL's into MFG variations. This will allow for the checking, formatting & fixing of OS flash memory blocks.

I am just about done I think, & then off to Jock it will go for his comments & keen eye. ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Nice one, I was thinking MFG 3.* HardSPL would be good, but I assumed there was a good reason for them not to exist. Little did I know that's where you were hiding :)

Great work.

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] -888-:
Good idea with this thread, congratulations.

Just to add something useful for the thread, here is my tip: (for n00bs, or a "newbie-n00bs" since I consider myself a n00b too ;) )

No matter what, DON'T PANIC.

If your phone boots at least partially (the bootloader starts and shows R/G/D versions) maybe its not that bad :)

I've flashed few times "bad ROMs" and my phone stucked on bootloader. Luckily none of them was that bad that I couldn't recover from it.

What I do first:

disconnect the phone from anything you had it connected to,

and go into bootloader mode (camera button + reset with stylus).

It will show the tricolor+white screen, SPL version on the top and "Serial" at the bottom.

Plug in your USB cable.

If the "Serial" will change into "USB" at the bottom, you are most likely ready to fix the problem

- so flash your phone with new clean ROM now (I would go with clean stock ROM including radio as well)

oh, and don't worry about the ActiveSync info that may be displayed by the RUU app, because you are already in bootloader mode (RUU or KaiserCustomRUU etc, at first disconnects AS in order to set your phone in bootloader mode, thats why the warnings about AS being "green" etc)

HTH :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] OrrinS1189:
this one isn't covered!

I go right to bootlader and see RUUNBH upper right!

my SPL is 3.56.hard

CPLD-8

I would flash my stock rom BUT i cant get a usb connection to work at all!

mtty doen't work at all!

hmm?!?!?!??

HELP, please!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Does "USB" show in the bootloader when you connect the USB plug or not?

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] OrrinS1189:
yep

yes, those words DO change. But nothing can be done on my PC.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Have you done the following to get MTTY to work?

* Download mtty.exe

* Disable activesync (connection settings -> uncheck "allow usb connections")

* Connect your Kaiser to PC using USB cable.

* Open mtty, select USB port and click OK.

* Hit ENTER twice, you should see the "Cmd>" prompt.

* Type the command "boot".

Are you using Vista or XP?

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] OrrinS1189:
yes again!

i have disabled usb connections through active synch and killed ALL the mobile processes through task mngr. Still, usb port cannot be opened through mtty!

it's crazy! =[

also, when i plug in my tilt, i get a beep beep beep from my PC saying failure to cconnect to hardware. =[

VISTA!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
I'm leaving work now, but can you trying flashing your carrier ROM from the SD card, that might do it.

Also, try the attached MTTY.

If that don't work, can you find a Windows XP Machince and try the normal MTTY method.

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] OrrinS1189:
No Luck

Since I can't establish a usb connection I have no way of getting ANYTHING to my tilt.

I can't access my SD card.

MTTY says command error when I say boot.

I don't think MTTY is connecting.

Does my SPL need to be changed?

If so, how do I change it if I can't get a connection to my tilt at all?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] OrrinS1189:
I GOT IT!

i TOOK your advice to flash from my SD my naming a rom KAISIMG.nbh and using my PC to put on card. then i just entered bootlader. I flashed a random new rom (not at&t) and it worked in restoring my phone.

I didn't use a stock rom cause my spl didn't match. thanks for all your help man.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Glad you got it working. :D

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cmonex:
good thread :)

BTW, if you do not have the RUUNBH on the screen, but can't get OS to boot and you didn't flash my patched SPL's for prevention, I now have a solution for those too in my thread (also sticky, so easy to find).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Thanks for this.

I have added this to the Wiki Page. Which I may re-write later to be a little more clear.

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
I have re-written most of the Wiki Page to be more than a collection of random Links. It took over an hour, to get right, so please read it.

Now there's really no reason to get stuck. :D

Thanks

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cmonex:
nice update! really useful to all kaiser owners. :)

btw, you wrote:

"This method will not work if RUUNBH is showing and cannot get the OS to boot even once"

I removed second part if you don't mind, the method doesn't need that as a requirement. (and it will actually unset RUUNBH flag too if the loading of the special SSPL and the flash is successful, but for RUUNBH issue this solution is overkill, because for that "set 16 0" is fine.)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Thanks cmonex, I don't even know what that senence means, I wrote it after midnight last night, and I really can't recall what I was thinking.

Hi all,

Is anyone facing an issue with google play services draining the battery...I get so angry when I see that damn app draining my battery...the battery stats says it's running in the background...why, I don't know! It's recent phenomenon and has been running since the past 20hrs or so...how do I solve this? I'm not sure cleaning the data/ cache would be ideal as this would only lead to more drain since play services will try to download all the info that it has previously....any help will be greatly appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] NippleSauce:
So 1% battery loss from a system service running for 20 hours in the background is a big problem...?

I'm a bit confused here...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
Actually, it's a bit more than 1%...more like 23% over the past 6 days or so...here's the screenshot...I don't know if this apt battery usage or if google play services need to be given a knock on its head...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] NippleSauce:
Ah, so 0.16% battery per hour. So a bit more than normal. What version of the phone do you have (which processor) and what apps do you have installed that weren't listed?

Also, how do you keep charging your phone so slightly as shown in the picture?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Oh yes, GPlayS will eat up the battery...

Download Karma Firewall and block Google Play Services. It may be shown by it's UID, on my 10+ it's 10044.

You can unblock it as needed like for Gmail or Playstore (block Playstore as well*).

Block Android Services as well, UID 1000.

It's pretty useless but polls the internet 2 times every minute, GPlayS is 4 times a minute.

On Pie Karma's logging feature works so I can see what each apk is doing or not... Q and up sucks.

*disable if you have a package blocker except when needed. A reboot is required and GPS must be unblocked too for Playstore.

Clear Google Play Services, Backup Transport and Framework data as well. Best to disable the latter two. Someone told the latter two aren't present in Q... I can't verify that either way.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
Hi, I have the 21Ultra 12/256. The funny thing is that play services started acting up only lately...I have been using the phone for 1 week+ and this app starting going berserk just 20 hours ago! It's very likely a rogue update could have caused this issue and I'm sure if I uninstall the update all should be fine...let me do that and see how it performs...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
My AT&T Note 10+ did the same thing and it wasn't an update that triggered it.

Power management was part of the problem.

I run now with all power management disabled except for fast charging and Optimized screen/cpu setting.

When I turn this phone off it goes into deep sleep...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
Power management, you refer to the ones that show in the battery settings right? But I don't know how the battery power management settings relate to google play services drain...I have betterbatterystats and it shows that google play is the top most draining app...why I can't understand...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
I have a feeling it's the feb update that's messing with the battery settings..Jan update was cool...is there a way to roll back to update before AUB6?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
Here's an update...I uninstalled the updates to google play services and cleared the cache. Rebooted...and all's going well so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] NippleSauce:
Definitely try out the suggestions made by @destz0r in the video that he left. I guess that I don't ever experience the same problem as I always leave location services disabled unless I'm directly using them for navigation. But I never would've guessed that GPS occasionally leads to more GPlay Service specific battery consumption (as I had thought that GPlay Services were primarily for inner-Google app data communication)...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
I already had all those suggestions in place right at the time of setting up the device initially..but yes, uninstalling the play services update cleared the issue...for the moment...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Power management seems to create conflicts after a few days running. GooglePS includes Backup Transport and Framework. Even when turned off they continue to run in the background on my device.

Play with it, see what you find but don't ignore and let this trashware toast your battery.
