yeah, having no issues with adb when the device is up and running the borked install. doing this all on an old kubuntu install so I'll try to find a way to run spft on wine. I have it in my head it's windows only but maybe that's not the case now. both my windows 10 and 7 installs totally fail to see this device in fastboot, which I'm just assuming is how the flash tool works. going to look into all of that now, thanks again

edit: wow is the flashtool confusing. "okay so I just need a scatter file" but then it turns out that file is nowhere to be found so I have to work out how to make it myself.
[General Questions and Answers] ineedroot69:
scatter file is also included on stock firmware right click the .zip and extract it
[General Questions and Answers] idonegoofed:
I've tried the contents of the stock firmware folder thinking that would be the solution, but everything threw an immediate error and so did trying to use the included ota scatter file. I had the scatter file that came with a twrp rom that wound up not working and included a scatter for reasons I don't grasp, maybe because it was meant to be installed with this tool instead (they didn't explain that very well), and anyway even attempts using the recommended download agent and scatter file are sitting as in this image and doing nothing. Tried restarting the adb server, killing the adb server just in case that was getting in the way, disabling and re-enabling debug on the device, nothing is happening with this at all. it's really frustrating stuff.

been working at this various ways for about 14 straight hours so I'm going to get some sleep here, definitely not giving up on this and will be back tomorrow. thanks again for all of the help so far. wouldn't have a clue if you hadn't come along and now it's looking like a few technical speedbumps may be all that's in my way fixing this thing.

so close. no idea what the issue is here or if this could be worked around. looks like a different version of the chip or something? any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] ineedroot69:
you need to change "Download Only" on SP flash tool as "Firmware Upgrade" so it will just overwrite it ...

also MT6771 is actually correct why you flashing MT6765 where you get that ?

[General Questions and Answers] idonegoofed:
after sorting the scatter file issue I wound up with

ERROR : STATUS_EMI_SETTING_VERSION_ERROR (0xC0040050)

decided to just buy a new one and call this a learning experience. could have lost a lot more on this same lesson if it were a more expensive purchase. going to be sure the next phone I set my mind on rooting is something more common with a bigger scene around it so in the worst case there are more cases of the same problems I'd be having and less complicated solutions. searching the error above, for example, not a single result. doesn't seem like something anybody has ever run into and asked about. I'm just not technically minded or experienced enough to work past it.

thanks again for all of your help though.

Install MTK Drivers because SPFT need that!!
[General Questions and Answers] idonegoofed:
I installed the drivers, I made sure I had the right auth file, best I can tell the xi+ I was working on was running on different hardware and needed (even if only slightly) different firmware than the device the firmware and scatter files provided were taken from.

even a slight difference is enough to bork tools that rely on the chipset (among other things, being just part of why this struck me as so complex) to function at all. I contacted the developer of spft and got nothing helpful in response, probably because he assumed I was trying to flash totally different firmware to a totally different phone or something and I'd imagine they spend a lot of time dealing with "help y can't i put this iphone firmware on my lg phone" stuff so don't even bother replying in that situation.

the big takeaway from all of this for me is to not go getting in over my head working on devices without huge userbases/a modding scene surrounding them. that's the difference between having a tool like odin to make this exact problem of mine trivial, and not being able to find a single copy of the correct firmware or the scatter/auth file that's needed short of learning how to make those things myself which is just above my skill level and I'm not afraid to admit as much.
[General Questions and Answers] lopestom:
What do I mean by READ.

See: I did not read in your messages any correct mention of the device model. Therefore, it was also not reported what exactly was the problem that caused all this.

Any electronic device today can have several problems and also several solutions. It all depends on the settings, the state of the device and the causes / actions of the problem.

As you mention ODIN, also needed to install certain ROMs, SPFT is for Mediatek. But which OS are you definitely using? Win? Linux? MaC?

Did you try to uninstall the Sansumg drivers? Install the MTK drivers again? Is it correct for the pc OS?

At first glance, let everyone know the correct model of the device, since there are about 3 models for Vivo Xi+.

In addition, I saw the images with the SPFT showing MT6765! This is for the Vivo Xi (not +) device!!

Comparison between: BLU Vivo XI+, BLU Vivo XI

Comparison between: BLU Vivo XI+, BLU Vivo XI

www.devicespecifications.com

Yes, you may know that Vivo Xi+ is MT6771. So I ask you if you are absolutely sure you have the correct ROM stock ?!

Do not get me wrong. Problems have to be detailed for good help information.

P.S: You look about new stock ROM added? This the stock ROM model to your device?

I not know if that's true or not.

But I never read about A9 (update firmware) to BLU Vivo Xi.

I read and confirm to BLU Vivo Xi+.

Unfortunately is not only BLU company so others brands OEMnot updating firmware version for some devices too.

But each person have what choose!

[General Questions and Answers] lopestom:

Your allright!!!

BLU should update your device!!

Asked company?

do not let me wrong.....

I don't give a **** about updates. Mainly knowing that several companies currently do not make updates. When they promise, they take too long to deliver or want a value on the device beyond what it can have.

But you are absolutely right to demand this from BLU. It is written in the box so do it. Company did not comply, so I myself would get a lawyer to sue the company. Surely you will win and will be able to buy a better device from a company that does what it says and what it writes!

good luck in new choices.

[General Questions and Answers] Irishbugster63:
Hi needroot69, I too have a BLU Vivo XI+ 128GB+6GB, black, purchased 9/7/2018. Android ver 9 (which I received OTA as BLU promised) My concern is that I have had Android Security Patch: October 5, 2019 update, and it never received another security patch again. Contacted BLU support and their response was:

"We regret to inform you that your device has reached its end of life. Therefore, this device will no longer be receiving any security patches and/or software updates"

My question is this. Is there a way for me to manually update the security patches without rooting? Can my phone model be successfully rooted? If yes, would I then be able to manually update my android security patches to current versions and continue to update as they are released? I would buy a newer handset if I could afford it, but I'm afraid I can't, so I'm stuck with this. However, I'm not happy using such an outdated patch. I'd really appreciate any information that you or anybody else here could offer regarding the questions I've asked, thanks!

How to enable phone record?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Guides, News...] joEmonkey351:
Hi,

i am new to this forum and i have a quick question regarding 'enable always on display' below. i follow the link below and read member 'Quinny899' created a module 'aod.zip' to make this easier for everyone.

i downloaded and extracted the aod.zip but it does not come with instructions on how to implement it.

would someone be kind enough to provide instructions what to do after extracting the aod.zip

many thanks!!!

Enable Always On Display (requires root)​

The Always On Display works on OOS 11.0.0 stable but is disabled by default. @Quinny899 found a way to enable it on the Open Beta which still works on the stable build.

Make sure you have root access via ADB (e.g. enable it in Magisk Manager) or give Terminal Emulator root access once it requests it.

On your PC using ADB type:

Code:

adb shell

su

setprop sys.aod.debug_support_always_on 1

pkill systemui

Done. Now go to Settings > Display > Ambient Display > Always on ambient display and enable it.

Note that it doesn't survive a reboot. To fix that use his tutorial at the link down below. Our community even made a Magisk module for it making it very easy :)

I am not completely sure if this is the right place to ask but - are there a similar way to replace the leftmost screen with OnePlus Shelf instead of Google Discover. (using the ADB)

Some people have:

- toggle switch on that page to choose which one they prefer (Shelf or Google)

- (or) a setting in OnePlus Launcher where to enable the leftmost screen and also specify if you want it to be the (Shelf or Google)

What I imagine is that there should be a hidden setting which can do that, and that can be altered through ADB. Could someone please help me find it? Or share another way to make the OnePlus shelf as the leftmost screen? I am using OnePlus 8.

Is it possible to remove "Tips & Support" from the settings menu? On OOS10 this is a useless function as there is no OOS10 support anymore and nothing is displayed in this menu. Maybe there is some ADB command to remove it? I found nothing on the internet about this.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] kevinco1:
Hey everyone, like an idiot I was disabling some bloatware via ADB (through ADB App Control) and was not careful enough...I'm now facing a serious problem.

For my lock screen, I am still using the old school method of a pattern and after rebooting the lock screen comes up. The problem lies with the fact there is no area in order to enter in the pattern and am locked out of my phone.

Some of the packages I got rid of are overlays which I'm guessing is where the problem came from. Does anyone know exactly what packages I need to restore to get the lock screen back up and running again? Thanks in advance
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
I'd just undo everything you did, then you'll be sure to get it back.

otherwise just flash the firmware over itself to restore all those system packages that you disabled.

This is why I never debloat. it's just not worth it, and it more often than not causes problems.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] kevinco1:
I never made a note of the actual packages I disabled because I just did it though ADB App Control. You can easily restore them back but only if the phone is unlocked which I can't do now because of this issue.

Is there a list of all of OnePlus8T's preinstalled packages? Can't find one online anywhere....

Though I know flashing the firmware is the sure way to fix this, I'm looking to only do this as a last resort with all the work to setup the phone would take me again.

Is there a way to flash firmware over the top without wiping data on OnePlus? I know there is for most other OEMs.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ctonylee1965:
The specs page says Pro 9 has dual Sim but all the press reviews say that the US Version will have only single sim. Does anyone know? If 9 Pro unlocked NA version is 1 sim I'm pretty bummed and pissed off, especially since my order tech sheet says dual sim.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] nightpanda2810:
I was just looking at the spec page on their website, and it says "Single nano-SIM slot". Fire up my VPN and go to the UK page, dual sim. Also, black version not available on US store.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] Reddit3321:
I can report, I just got my US variant (AA) and the dual sim tray slot on the backside like normal had a plastic bar preventing the use of dual SIM...I wonder if it's also disabled in software as well if one were to get a dual sim card tray...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] bjevers:
I just tried my dual SIM tray from my OnePlus 8 Pro and it will only recognize a SIM in the front slot. I assume the functionality is disabled in the rom.

BTW, the 8 Pro SIM tray doesn't quite go in all the way, it has a thicker red gasket for sealing than the 9 Pro does. It still works, just not flush with the body of the phone.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] pavankp:
I tried this as well, same result. It is hard to remove the 8 Pro SIM tray from the 9 Pro if you push it in.

Is the international ROM available to flash? I want to see if flashing that will make it recognize the second SIM with the 8 Pro's SIM tray.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] carbondog:
I am very interested in this as well. I pre-ordered this phone because it said it was Dual-SIM for the USA. The following day, they edited it back to single-SIM.

If this can be worked around via getting a dual-SIM tray and flashing the global ROM, maybe I won't have to return it after all.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ctonylee1965:
I can't believe we even have to have this discussion with a $1000 phone from a brand that has always had dual sim functionality. Argggggg...... It's going to make my head explode!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] carbondog:
Right? The whole reason I splashed out for a carrier-free "premium" phone was to not be held down by any idiotic restrictions- but lo and behold OnePlus bent over backwards for T-Mobile. The worst part is that it's literally the same hardware, we just got a single-slot SIM tray and software to lock us out of the second slot.

It boils my blood that you can see the second set of SIM contacts in there and can't use them without jumping through hoops.

Mine's sitting in the damn box still, because I'm not using it until I know I can utilize both SIMs I have on it.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] GenesisDH:
I suspect it's Verizon's fault to forcing it as Single SIM on the software side. Verizon gimped previous Android models in a similar way previously. Pixel 3 eSIM was disabled on Verizon-sold models, and they forced OnePlus to make separate variants of the OnePlus 8 for both Verizon and Visible.

They knew OnePlus would want it certified for 5G mmWave, and that was probably Verizon's 'terms' for getting it cleared.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] carbondog:
This is actually a very good point that I hadn't considered. I hate how anti-choice the US wireless market is.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Bradl79:
the second sim does not even fit in the the sim slot, it kinda looks like a microSD can but I don't have one to try.

Yeah I was kinda upset about this too, b/c I used my OP7Pro for personal and work phone with 2 sims.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] pavankp:
The tray has been deliberately rendered useless on the second side. I tried it with the tray from the 8 Pro which fits two SIMs properly, but the software won't recognize the second SIM.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] pavankp:
So frustrating. US telcos need more consumer-friendly regulation so they can't engage in anti-competitive behavior like this.

I put mine back in the box. Offering it to my wife to use, and if she doesn't, this is going back for a refund. Ordered the exact same phone from Amazon Italy, that should have dual SIM. ETA Apr 1-2.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] carbondog:
That's not a bad idea, I think I'll do the same since I know my wife doesn't need dual-SIM. She probably won't want it though, haha. Let us know how that works out, if it's smooth sailing then I might just do that as well. I wish I knew this before ordering from OP directly, I'd have just gone to Amazon first.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] samteeee:
Just a heads up bro.

If you live in North America like me ordering the OnePlus 9 series from Amazon Italy makes no sense as their variant is UK version which misses many LTE & 5G bands that we need in USA & Canada! I almost put the order through before noticed that is a UK variant.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] floridaman:
The bands are almost always different. I think they do it on purpose so people in North America are stunted if they do a gray market purchase.

Why does the North American models have 5G band 78 for the EU but they don't have 71 or n260, etc.. They do it on purpose to screw us over.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] carbondog:
Damn, man- this got me thinking, so I threw together a quick comparison graphic of the bands, which are missing in their respective models. Top is from the US OP page, bottom is from Spain's.

I was planning on using mine with Verizon, looks like that might not be a good idea.

Looks like the NA version should work in EU with minimal problem, but the EU version is missing many NA bands. 100% due to carrier pressure, disgusting.

If anyone can manage to successfully enable the second SIM slot of a NA variant, that looks like the way to go.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] fifasax:
I search around and found that iphone US version are also single sim and they are able to make it to dual sim only if they open the phone and replace the actualy sim inserted piece on the motherboard. I watched the tear apart video of oneplus 9 pro which the sim card piece on the motherboard is also detachable without remove the whole motherboard. I think the would work. Simply use a dual sim tray would not work.
