[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vitzpon:
i have the prog_ufs_firehose_8996_lite.elf if you still need it I could share, I don't have the

rawprogram0.xml, patch0.xml though. and I haven't been able to create it as yet​
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] walidham:
hi , yes, i still have the phone, i will test it thanks
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vitzpon:
sorry my bad , didnt realise you were talking about the h918.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] C D:
As far as I'm aware, no compatible firehose for the H918 has ever been leaked, so at this point, it is not possible to hard-unbrick an H918.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bccrosby:
please help me what key combination to press or how to enter EDL mode on lg v20
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ice Fire:
To enter EDL mode, take the battery out of your phone and take of the inner cover. You should see a chip cover with the letter H punched on to it, above that are two "relativly) large contacts, both right above each other. Short those and then connect your device with your battery still out. You should now be in EDL mode.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ice Fire:
And a question of my own. I have lsot the device side GPT partition so i need a rawprogram. If i try to follow the guides to create one form a KDZ they always get a singular fairly big GPT bin i get multiple small one which all have the same size. What am i doing wrong. I tried three different KDZ across two devices and two android versions all with the same result.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] srcsantos:
I ran out of partitions on my phone and the method does not work for me since it keeps writing and never ends
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] LGFan23:
hello , i have the LG V20 H990ds and i don´t know anything about programming.

i could extract the kdz file with the unkdz.py

but when i try to undz.py then i get the message: Error: extraneous data found IN pad

I am stuck. What can i do? Must i generate a completely new undz.py file? And how can i do this?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] Gh_Racer:
Hi everyone,

I seriously need some advices since I can't manage to solve my problem.

BEFORE YOU READ

:

A month has passed, and

I couldn't manage to recover my phone

. I decided to buy a brand new phone for my brother.

The thread is going to stay there, since I hope it could be useful for people luckier than myself

The Problem:

My brother found his phone (the Redmi Note 6 Pro) turned off.

He wasn't able to turn it on.

I could manage to wake it up by pressing volume-up + power

very strangely, it directly turned into the OS (and not into the TWRP)

"but ok, at least it turned on" I thought

After only a few minutes, the phone suddenly turned off and from there my journey started to became a p**p :)

I'm not able to enter into recovery, and I'm not able to enter into fastboot neither.

I realized that the phone is fu--- ehmm I mean bricked. The funny thing is that we haven't done anything strange.

Some useful informations:

latest TWRP was installed

I was on the latest Pixel Experience Extended ROM (Android 11)

No custom kernel (I kept the kernel included in the PEE ROM)

No Root

What I tried:

Since it was impossible to do anything, I followed some guides (found here and on Youtube as well) and I opened my phone (if I'm lucky, I haven't destroyed anything ---- YET :cowboy: ).

I managed to enter in EDL mode

my Windows PC is able to recognize it on the COM / LPT ports as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

I downloaded the Mi Flash Tool

I downloaded the Boot Firmware and the two special files (prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf and prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_lite.elf) following this video

link

(please don't blame me, but I haven't found anything here)

I put the files inside the image folder

I tried to flash the firmware via Mi Flash but I got a funny error: "cannot receive hello packet"

Thinking that I was doing something wrong, I downloaded the latest Mi Flash Tool but nothing

I downloaded the latest tulip global image but nothing

I authenticated with the mi account into the tool (technically it shouldn't be needed) and... guess what? nothing.

I'm totally out of ideas. Of course I tried to reconnect the phone multiple times (shortening the two pins every time). I also tried to disconnect the battery and going USB-power-only.

Every time I get the "

cannot receive hello packet

" error, and suddenly the procedure fails saying "Riferimento ad un oggetto non impostato su un'istanza di un oggetto" (italian, that means "Object reference not set to an instance of an object").

EDIT: this error is also listed as "Null Reference Exception" (since it seems to be caused by the following exception: "System.NullReferenceException" - as you can read in the log I included)

Any ideas? What else can I try? Have I done anything wrong?

This never happened me before in almost 10 years of flashing. And, you know what? I just learned how to destr--- ehm open a phone! :p Spoiler content hidden.

Thanks to everyone that will try to help me. Every suggestion is appreciated*

Little Update:

tried to disable windows' driver signature: same issue

tried to disconnect the phone display (seems weird, but why not giving it a chance): same issue.

I also downloaded

Mi Flash Pro

, which should work even without an authorized Mi account. But I get the same damn error.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] Gh_Racer:
Disperate up. You guys are my last hope.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] fawziX:
Hello @Gh_Racer I got the exact same problem. Found my phone turned off 2 days ago, when I tried to turn it on the miui logo appeared. turned off and that was it. Not been able to turn it on after that. Did u by any chance fix the problem? Thanks!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] Gh_Racer:
Damn, really? That's pretty disappointing. These cases are becoming suspicious... maybe that could be some kind of programmed obsolescence(?)

Just for curiosity: were you on stock MIUI or did you have any kind of modifications?

Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to do anything so far.

I loaned my old OnePlus 5T to my brother for now and

I think that we'll buy a Redmi Note 10

as soon it will became available in our country. Of course I'm still here for any kind of suggestion until then.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] fawziX:
I was on the official MIUI, I didn't do any kind of modifications to the phone. I found it also weird that we have the same problem around the same time. Maybe it's related to an automatic update? mine was like that when I woke up in the morning the day before it was in perfect condition. Let me know if u manage to somehow fix it and I'll let u know if i get it working. (btw I also ordered a new XIAOMI phone red note 9 pro lol)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] Gh_Racer:
I was on a custom ROM, as I said in my original post, so I won't point my finger to an automatic update. Maybe, maybe, some google-thing update? But I'm really sceptical that it would even be possible to hard brick a device in this way.

That's really weird, anyway.

Ps. Have you tried to open the phone and flash the fastboot + ROM in EDL mode?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] fawziX:
I have not tried it yet. Do u have some links or tutorials on how to do this? I just received the kit to open the phone. I thought at first it might be a battery problem since the phone doesn't seem to charge at all when I plug it in electricity.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] Gh_Racer:
Here are some videos I followed.

Do it at your own risk

.

Phone Open + EDL Test Points *

Mi Flash Procedure in EDL Mode**

if the phone is not recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, you need to install the drivers

This should work for both locked and unlocked bootloader devices, if I'm not wrong.

Here's another useful and complete guide.

This guide is

not

for the Redmi Note 6 Pro, so

don't use

the provided ROM and fastboot. Just follow the procedure, that it's the same for every Xiaomi phone.

* I don't know what kind of nails that guy has lol Keep in mind that

you have to heat the phone up

with an hair dryer in order to be able to work with the tools (the body is pretty tight).

In the video is not clear, but

the phone has two slots

: the first one is made for replacing the screen, and the second is made for taking apart the back cover. Pay attention to this (I didn't know this detail, and I took apart my screen during the first attempt).

** During the flash procedure, I get the error I mentioned in my original post. I'm not sure if it's related to having an un-authorized Mi account or whatsoever, I haven't found any clear confirmation about that.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] fawziX:
Thank you for the infos! :) I'll try to do this when I have some free time in the coming days and I'll let you know if I have any success.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] Gh_Racer:
I hope you'll be able to do something. Please update me in that case! 😆 Good luck.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] fawziX:
Hello here I'm again. Maybe you can help me with one more thing. I'm trying to flash it but i get a weird xml error when trying.

Can u link to me the .elf files you used? The link in the video is broken. Thanks again!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] fawziX:
Btw I also had the hello packet problem. But if u remove the usb cable from PC and then attach it again and refresh it dissapears but then after some time I have the weird xml error (resdump: <?xmlversion="1.0".........)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] Gh_Racer:
I need to search for them, since I downloaded things from a lot of different sources (I also deleted the one I downloade, since I did lost my hopes). I’ll update you in case I’ll be able to find them.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] Gh_Racer:
So, exactly, what did you do? You unplugged the cable and attached it again shortening the two test pins? Or you simply attached it without doing anything special?

I wasn’t able to solve the hello packet error.

I don’t know what the xml error is related to, since I couldn’t manage to communicate with the phone. I have no suggestions for this, I’m sorry.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] internauta2000:
Hi everyone...

Two days ago my Note 6 Pro woke up the same and after doing everything described above and even being able to successfully flash via EDL,

it remains the same and without changes.

I explain...

It turns on and stays in the MI logo, when trying to enter the recovery it stays in the TWRP home screen and only allows to enter the FASTBOOT that is unlocked but when trying to flash from MiFlash it gives an error as when I try directly from. bat file so I decided to try for EDL and it threw the xml error (resdump: <? xmlversion = "1.0" .........), I did some research and it turns out due to "prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf" and "prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_lite.elf" in "images folder" to firmware uncompress files, and I replaced them with others that allowed the flash to continue and finish successfully, but to my surprise, when restarting the device, everything continued without any change...

Until this moment I do not find any information that can help with this unfortunately.

I just hope that some of the "Great GURUS" in the forum can help and provide some solution... If it exists. :confused:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] Teddy Lo:
Hi all, in order to flash your phone you will need authorized account normally, but if you try to flash stock firmware with Mi Flash tool and QFill you will face errors and errors.

What I recommend you is to re-flash full fastboot firmware the same version what you had on your phone or the latest stable fastboot firmware which you can get here:

Oreo Android 8 OEKMIXM

Pie Android 9 PEKMIXM

Latest version:

https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM/tulip_global_images_V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM_20201229.0000.00_9.0_global_ac26982758.tgz

All versions:

Xiaomi Firmware Updater

The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.

xiaomifirmwareupdater.com

Once you download firmware open it with 7-Zip archive tool, and again open firmware inside 7-Zip until you see normal folder with the name of firmware for example "tulip_global_images_V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM_20201229.0000.00_9.0_global" and extract to desktop.

Once is Finish dowload this bypass auth files.

File with out Login

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

www.mediafire.com

Now copy those two files:

prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf

prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_lite.elf

and replace those two files inside firmware that you extracted before on Desktop for example:

"C:\Users\YOUR_PC_USER_NAME\Desktop\tulip_global_images_V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM_20201229.0000.00_9.0_global\images"

Next step is to use correct MiFlash tool which you can download here:

Working Mi Flash Tool:

MiFlash20160401.zip | by firmwarefile.com for Utilities

Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.

androidfilehost.com

Now, load firmware inside Mi Flash tool:

for example:

"C:\Users\YOUR_PC_USER_NAME\Desktop\tulip_global_images_V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM_20201229.0000.00_9.0_global"

Next is to remove battery cover carefully because you can damage fingerprint flat cable!or use special edl cable if you don't wanna to open your device.

- Disconect battery

- short those test point pins

https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C8bU7S6nAaI/Xqrd_PdvLXI/AAAAAAAAaLA/PK_E4oI_qPcJhBnSwlbQ0sr5J_9Ti2ycQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/21-14-47-images.jpg

-Plug the usb cable while you are holding those pins, once you got your device detected in Qdowloader 9008 mode relese short from test points.

Now click on Reflash on MiFlash tool and you will see your device is detected, now click on Flash and wait (it can take some time to finish). If you got error just unpplug the phone from PC and try again.

FOR FLASH OPTION:

You can check FLASH All or Flash all except storage

Once you successfully flashed your device, unplug device from your pc, plug battery back and power up your device to see if it's working or not.

The pay part if that doesn't work is reprograming or replacing emmc chip with ufi tool or something like that...

Good luck :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] Gh_Racer:
I followed all the steps without any issues, since they were the same as I tried the last time, but a wanted to give a try to the files you linked me.

But... Unfortunately, I always get the same error. Probably, as you correctly pointed, that's an hw fault and there's nothing we can do.

I hope that someone will be luckier than me! I lost my hopes. RIP Redmi Note 6 Pro.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] dennisv9:
question, is there i difference between the rw6815 and the atom roms? i have a 6815, can i just flash any wm 6.1 atom rom on it. i assume the 6818 roms will not work on the 6815, but which one is the atom? or are all the cooked roms interchangeable, thus will work on atoms, 6815, 6828?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] ogel2:
yes. actually they have the same hardware, but different vendor makes the rom need porting.

no

as far as i know there is NO interchangeable ROM between those device

Not sure if there's any definitive info out yet except for the Hassleblad partnership but anyone showing any interest for this phone. I've become a huge fan since the release of the OnePlus 8 Pro (my favorite phone of all time, lol) so I have high hopes for the next iteration. I'm hoping for better cameras and maybe an sd card slot?

[OnePlus 9] blackhawk:
The cam and its software may be good or a bomb.

However...

No SD card and limited internal storage means I never would touch it. At this point a SD card is mandatory for me.

While 128gb be more than enough storage for me for the OS/apps* it's not even half of my data requirement.

Meh, get up to speed or get out of my way... a pretty cam with no storage isn't a good trade off.

*currently using about 30 of 512gb internal.

341 gb on the SD card data drive.
[OnePlus 9] chetly968:
Yep, I know what you mean. It's not mandatory for me but it makes things so convenient. Especially with google photos eliminating unlimited storage. I have a 1 terabyte card with almost half the thing full of my lossless music, videos, and photos.
[OnePlus 9] blackhawk:
The dream of a dual drive 1.5 tb computer in your hand has come true. Simply outstanding.

My XPx64 tower uses more power to boot up than takes my 10+ to run for the whole day.

Without a data drive life is much harder, at least if you make full use of the data drive.

Being able to do a full reload with no laptop, anywhere, anytime makes the phone completely self sufficient barring a hardware failure.
[OnePlus 9] MoMayat:
I'm interested in this phone.. always liked the oneplus but never got round to buying it as user reviews were mixed for the phone and customer service. I'm saying this as I am looking to upgrade from my much beloved Google Pixel 2. However it seems there are lots of announcement and releases this month...Asus Rog phone 5 today, Oppo Find X3 pro tomorrow Xiaomi Mi 11 next week and OnePlus 9 soon after,was also hoping for the Sony Xperia 1 III to be announced.... decisions decisions decisions!
[OnePlus 9] Lz3807775t:
I'm an 8t owner , and I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase they have been good with updates and yes there have been bugs but mostly all phones on R11 have some bugs , but the updates have fixed most , and let's see what they come with here one the 1+9 and the pro
[OnePlus 9] MoMayat:
After the slightly disappointing launch of the Oppo X3 keeping my fingers crossed for the OnePlus launch tomorrow... Or maybe hold out for the Sony Xperia 1 III
[OnePlus 9] Lz3807775t:
Yup let's see what they got for tomorrow 👋👍
[OnePlus 9] doggydog2:
8Pro was a reference flagship, perfect in many microscopic details, so i did preorder cases for both newer models. Despite having another flagship on way, i expect to buy this one too. My hope is I can buy the base model for better WEIGHT, and hoping it won't be crippled in Samsung way (who made e.g. Note20 and any other non-Ultra totally avoidable). The great news is the base model has got wireless charging, and superfast charging and superfast-not-so-crippled compatible charging (45W PD). However last year they made model 8 redundant by having almost no improvements and trashy camera, so it's hard to say.

I'm expecting camera under display in model 10, so i'm buying cases as soon as possible:) I kind of hope they will run out of innovations and come back to geekness (bring back sd card, notif light) in model 10.
[OnePlus 9] MoMayat:
So what do people think....under the hood it is identical to the Oppo Find X3 pro...just cheaper and with free wireless charger and ear buds...this might be the one...
[OnePlus 9] bluishdaven:
I currently have a OP8T and after watching the launch & the early reviews, I can safely say that I'm going to skip the OP9Pro... The generation jump is not noticeable and the new cameras didn't really live up to the hype. Xiaomi's Mi 11 Pro/Ultra looking more solid with no Hasselblad gimmick whatsoever.
[OnePlus 9] doggydog2:
watched the intro, and then review was added to gsmarena and phone was published in our top seller website in an coordinated way. battery rating is funny for 1+, but i believe phone will be holding charge for at least twice the time as Samsung despite. Just look at the huge 3G standby time - industry best. In my use case, that will mean it will make it to 3rd day easily and some more. For the video, they might fix it later, but i do not watch videos all day and do not run background script to prop display frequency either... not real use case. Camera great in wide and night, and not so great for the main sensor. Let's see more reviews. Base model defly with Qi and ultrafast 65T charging, however the weight is still 192g, which is disappointing. That actually makes the "compact" model obsolete if price insensitive. So there are some mild disappointments, and the best thing we can do is to buy it and moan later:)
[OnePlus 9] .wojtek:
I'm considering it. Currently I (still) have OP3 and I think it's time to upgrade. Looking at 256G version (absolutely no need for SD card here). I wouldn't mind, if it was somewhat smaller though...

Any idea how long we will have for root? as this is kinda essential (and I know OP was always kinda very good for modding community)
[OnePlus 9] dy2592:
I just placed an order for the OP9 and it said free z buds but when I checked out, it didn't show on order confirmation.

Thought maybe you had to add them to the cart as well and the discount will be at check out but did that and it wasn't showing either. Talked to customer service and they said free gifts are not available and in stock?
[OnePlus 9] theman22:
I just checked their online store and you need to select the free gift in the cart before checkout. On that screen, it shows "out of stock". That is pretty lame!
[OnePlus 9] zymphad:
Have 2 OP9 coming. I am upgrading from 6T and she from 7. I am perpetually disappointed by Google Pixel series and the 5 is the worst. I keep hoping they remember what made Nexus phones great. Oneplus continues to be the closest to what Nexus experience was.

We both did get the OP buds free. And we got 110-140 for our old phones. I got education discount. Not bad deal for me to get the OP9

I may be in minority but I never liked phone camera pics. They always look fake to me because of colors. I always was dissapointed by green of vegetation and how bright red people's skin are. Call Hasselblad color calibration boring but its a huge relief to me pics won't make everthing look plastic.

Do think its weird they added a monochrome sensor when any software can do that just as well. Why they didn't use a telefoto instead on the 9 is baffling. I would bet at least 80% of users will never use it after testing it.

I am disappointed they didn't go with the rear hardware fingerprint like the Nord. I have problems with 6T fingerprint reader. I really hope OP9 will be vastly imoroved.
[OnePlus 9] zymphad:
Rooting with Magisk now is instant availability. You install the Magisk APK. Extract the boot image. Modify the boot image with Magisk. Use the modified image to flash via adb. Done. You don't need to wait TWRP etc.
