[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWRainbow:
Hello,

Let me try to recall everything I tried.

The first thing I have done is to unlock the bootloader. I had 0 troubles with that. But after that, I tried to root the phone and there is no luck.

First thing I found is that there is no dedicate root tool for this phone. So my first option was patch boot.img with Magisk. I done that but it give me an error with vbmeta verification.

I read some guides related with TWRP but had almost the same issue. I also tried to port myself TWRP with the same luck.

So after that, I though the better idea is was to built the house from the ground, not from the roof so I started searching about VBMeta and that stuff. I'm not very sure what's VBMeta or what it does but AFAIK, it's something that check several firmware integrity (maybe CRC?) and, if it's not the correct, it will say so and don't let you begin the phone. Several investigations later I found out that I have no clue on how to path/change/whatever VBMeta in order to flash a patched boot.img with Magisk root and so, I can't install/port TWRP.

I'm so sorry for posting this here and I know that there is tons of tutorials but that's my main issue: I find several guides, some for some phones (PCBs), some outdated, some without complete information... If you could point me out on the correct direction and help me with this I will really appreciate that.

Thank you in advance.

Hello!

I wanted to change my MIUI version from global to eu, so I installed TWRP and flashed the rom. The problem is that somehow while doing this it wiped the IMEI, and wifi/bluetooth mac address. (so it doesn't see sim cards, and wifi networks)

Is there any way to restore the factory IMEI + the mac addresses? (I have them written down, and on the box)

And how to make sure that I don't wipe these things again?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] edgarjmejia:
ok I think it is clear .....

But my question is (read fairly slowly) there is OTHER version for no HTC devices
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] egzthunder1:
The problem is not a matter of branding, but rather a matter of drivers. M2D looks for something in the touch.dll, which many devices don't have. The HTC devices that do support M2D have it because TouchFlo was successfully ported to these devices. However, there are still a few devices (HTC branded) that have not had the TouchFlo ported to them (Himalaya and Blue Angel). On top of that, there are no devices outside of HTC devices that have this TouchFlo ported. Hence, M2D does not work on non HTC devices...

I guess that a clear explanation can put this thread to sleep already...

@ edgarjmejia,

Next time, please read the threads related to what you are looking for...

Hey so where do I start I'm just an internet dude and anime freak; P; D who has been familiar with the field of `` CODING / CODEX '' for some time, but it's more on the PC than on the mobile phone and since For a while I thought to myself, 'Mhm, why not do it for your mobile phone and learn Android and more in life' so I searched and searched until I came across this page and looked at the whole thing and really have to admit this is one of the best sites when it comes to ROM / Rooting and I wanted to get on the ship and be part of the XDA community and am looking forward to collecting new experiences and learning a lot from it :)) And therefore me too have a Sony Xperia 10 II and that is very new and also a little more difficult to root because it also has Android 11 I looked for pages and have now ended up here Thank you for listening / reading along c:

Hi, I recently flashed an incorrect preloader and the device is now bricked and since this is an MTK device, i can restore it by knowing where the test points are located, please if anyone knows what the test point is, please post an image, thank you in advanced...
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] XDHx86:
You can't use this method for MTK devices.

You just connect your device to your PC in download mode. Usually the device would be already in download mode, or if it isn't just press (VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER) simultaneously and it should boot to download mode.

To unbrick your device you'll need:

Stock ROM of your device.

SP Flash Tool.

Your device specific Scatter File (Can be included in the ROM, but if it isn't you'll have to search for it. If you can't find it then you're out of luck)

MTK driver (VCOM)

If you got all of the above. Then load the scatter file into SP flash tool and flash it in download mode. Then flash your stock ROM.

Now idk where you can find your device scatter file, maybe someone with the same device can make one for you here on the forums.

Goodluck.
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
I have already tried this, but, since my preloader is corrupted, it doesn't recognise my device...
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] XDHx86:
Aah, you have a dead preloader. Nah you can kiss you phone goodbye.

Maybe there's a way to get to meta mode on your device that's specific to your chip, but if you can't then there no hope for you.

You can follow this thread for similar issue, but note that this is for MT65xxx chips, not MT67xxx. And yes those 2 numbers make a big difference.
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
I don't have a multi meter and I don't want to kill it by shorting a pin with +5V to ground and fry something, so, after getting a meter, I'll give it a go...

Also, does the meta mode trigger exist mostly on the golden contact points in this phone, or is it required to take the shielding off the board and short a resistor near the emmc chip? Please try to find where its exact location is if possible... My device has the MT6737M processor BTW
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
I'm posting the images of the motherboard, both sides, please have a look at them, it might give you a better chance at locating the right one...

View attachment 5350473View attachment 5350475
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] XDHx86:
There are a lot of pins here, I honestly have no idea. In most phones it's one of the pins below the sim card reader, however I see 4 possible pins beside the chip to the left too.

I don't think connecting it one by one is gonna do any issue to your motherboard, and I don't think you have any options either. Unless you find someone who knows his sht. I'd try the ones beside the chip to the left first.

But don't be in a hurry, I once burned a phone because of that. Do your research first so you don't feel regret if worse happens.

As you can see in this post just connect it one by one and pray to god. You have to keep it connected for about 10 sec to test if it's detected, and try to keep the cable as stable as possible tape it if you have to. If the flash fails this time this is junk.

If it works then post the results here.
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
OK, thanks for this valuable information, I will try it as soon as I get a multimeter, as I can't trust myself, and to prevent any frying as you said...

Edit: Just curios, is it required for it to be kept connected for 10 seconds for it to get detected, for example, if I short the pin for a second or two, will it not show up even if it's the correct point, right?
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
I tried all the small contact points, but, it didn't connect to the PC, I found out that the larger contact points have a voltage in them, so, I tested every small point and thankfully they were no shorts, the sad news is that it didn't show up in the PC, I kept it connected for 10 seconds on each point and my ground was the SIM slot shield (i think it's correct, because there were no markings on the board giving indication to a ground point), and one more thing I notices is that, when I connect the phone with the battery in to a charger or PC, it starts to get warm...(the board)

Also, do you know anyone who knows how to find this point, (if so, ask them about this..) I'm starting to think that the test point is under the board shielding, and if it is actually under it, it isn't a good idea for me to short random points without confirmation...
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] XDHx86:
The meta mode isn't available in all boards, it's found only in specific types of boards and the manufacturers use it to download their firmware.

If you can't find it, then it's probably not existent in this motherboard.

Try asking around on the forums, maybe someone else can help, make a new thread, search for more specific details about the MT67xxx or your device board, ask around in phone shops. You'll figure it out.

Sorry for not being of much help.
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
I think I'll give up on it, since, the voltage regulation circuit (in the board) gets stupidly hot if the battery is connected, and I now I remember the exact reason why it died, I flashed a GSI image from fastboot and left it there in fastboot and the screen was on probably the entire night, and in morning when it was dead I thought it was so flash tools fault, but, it wasn't, so, yeah, that's the end of to device for me, I guess
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] XDHx86:
You should disconnect the battery while doing this, if you change your mind in the future.
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
Okay, but I think my board doesn't have meta mode, because even the imei fix tools weren't able to get this in meta mode when it was alive, and also, I didn't search for test points when the battery was in the device...
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] XDHx86:
Try sending it to Nokia service center, if they say they can fix it, then it means there is still hope at least.
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
Okay,..
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
Just curios, do MTK phones with a dead preloader become extremely hot if the battery is tried to charge on it?
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
Should I connect the points with 0v to ground? I got a meter and took the voltage vales, I found a ground point, a point with the fluctuating voltage of 0.1 and o volts, then a point with 0.17 volts and another one with 5V, which points should I connect to ground to not kill the board?
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] XDHx86:
I already stated hardware stuff isn't my field of expertise, so I recommend making a new thread with the new information.
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
There are many points, with some and no voltage, which ones give the best chance of not killing the board, can I connect any points with 0.1v? Or do I only connect points with either 0v or that switch from 0 to 0.011v?
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
Okay, I just wondered if there was any general info...
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] XDHx86:
If it really was available like you say, then we'd have fking uncle rob the new technician lol. Just make a new thread, that way you ensure it is viewed by people who actually know something.
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
Okay, I'll do that, thanks for your suggestion!
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You need to know the exact test point. Sometimes they are marked. Randomly trying points is likely to end badly.

The power converter can run hot if there's a heavy current load on it. Or if firmware controlled it, it may not be functioning correctly.

Mobos are susceptible to ESD damage. Any static discharge can damage them. At the very least keep the room's relative humidity above 50% and work on a bare wood surface if you don't have a ESD mat. You really should have a wrist strap/mat attached to an earth ground.

Earth ground yourself before handling the mobo if you don't have a wrist strap. Don't wear wool or synthetics, wear cotton clothing.

It takes very little static voltage to fry MOSFETs.

Normally the inputs/outputs are protected but circuits within the mobo are not. RAM sticks are notoriously sensitive to ESD damage. Generally in circuit components are somewhat protected as opposed to out of circuit ones.

Factory service centers that specialize in repairing these mobos is your best shot. Pack in an ESD protective bag. Double box it.
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
In my case they aren't marked, even the ground points aren't marked, so, yeah, I'll try connecting points with 0V to ground...
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Contact the manufacturer. Get the right test point.
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
Okay!
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
They refused to do so..
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Press a bit deeper into them, demand to talk with an engineer. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Trick em if they don't give f...

Just get it done... they got the info and it costs them nothing. A 3rd party repair shop may be easier. One way or another... hammer it.

Lol, I got a CD of XP mobo drivers out of Toshiba🤣 it took quite a few phone calls. Toshiba is a tough cookie to crack. I've broken Sony before too. Consider it a lesson in assertiveness for yourself, a valuable skillset. Fun times.
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
Okay, I'll do so, and will report back...
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
I asked them over and over again for about 1 hour but they still refused to do so and insisted me to go to a service center...
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
Hi everyone I tested the preloader that I flashed on my phone before it went dead on another phone (my neighbor's) and it worked normally, and after doing some digging around I found that my power supply management chip was damaged and was conducting a bunch of voltages to ground and made my battery voltage drop and leading the phone to heat up...
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] XDHx86:
You suddenly stopped posting so I'm just checking on ya.

You sure it's the same device? This is exceedingly uncommon to happen, you must be very unlucky.

Is your device detected in any way at all? Like testing the amps with the multimeter? If the amps are higher than ~1amp then you may want to switch the power supply behavior. Or it may be something shortened in the motherboard.
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
Yes it is, even the ta code is same I.e ta-1066 and when I connect it to power it draws about 200-300ma without battery and with a battery it conducts draw 800-900ma and heats up ridiculously, the device isn't detected in any way on the computer, I do have the proper drivers installed and even disabled driver signature enforcement, and I even tired with so flash tools on Linux but no luck, anyways thanks for your help, I think I'll retire this phone for good now...
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] XDHx86:
My suspicion is that this is related to power management of the device, I'd at least try sending it to a professional and telling them that the device isn't booting and it's most likely a power issue.

The device isn't supposed to heat that's why.
[Nokia 1 Questions & Answers] Hausemaster:
I can't send it in because I bought this device off eBay and the Sim slot is dead along with the flash, so, yeah...
