[General Questions and Answers] MikhailCompo:
Looking to buy a phone on eBay. Listed as sealed and brand new, unused and comes with 30 day returns, hundreds positive feedback etc

However, there are photos of the IMEI numbers and the serial number.

1) Is that a security risk at all?

2) Is there a way to check the s/n is ok, I.e. it's not reconditioned or stolen?
[General Questions and Answers] :
Both the IMEI and the S/N typically are unique for each Android device, will say can't be same on different devices unless they got changed - what is possible but illegal in most countries.

You can use an IMEI-checker on-line tool to get detailed info about a phone.

HI :coffee:

Beginner Question

If I installed a rom .. xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V12.5.4.0.RKACNXM_v12-11-fastboot .. will the mi ultra recieves updates from Xiaomi for newer versions and security updates like any other phone or I must update it manually by installing rom updates ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] sc954rr:
You will have to flash them by pc yourself, no auto updating available yet is my understanding. Plus I believe updates now are thru TWRP.

Thank you (y)

I managed to understand how to use fastboot but still trying to understand how TWRP works .

OTG adapter and mouse necessary

I am wondering if anyone can fix this recovery or possible port a new one with the files I have included. I am willing to test if you don't have a device to test on. My original post is here

Post in thread 'TWRP coming?'

https://xdaforums.com/t/twrp-coming.4222755/post-85065097

Here are the files and recovery backups.

Resolution is 1080x2400

Board is SM6150

Aarch64

Stock android 10

Please help anybody with the know how. Thanks. I'll buy anybody a pizza for doing this! Get it working right and I will definitely support.

External_sdcard says unknown filesystem but still functions to backup all partitions except /vendor, /system and /product individually. Allows /super backup.

/vendor and /system_root (permission denied)

touch screen not functioning in recovery

Flashing causes black screen after boot logo splash

I used AIK on windows 10 with notepad++

*EDIT*

added driver to /sbin in /ramdisk. updated recovery below.
[Moto G Stylus (2021)] estelocotemira:
Hey, do u have telegram? If so hit me up on there @rcc2002 username "Ritmo".. Im working on getting you help on this subject as soon as possible because I am so happy that you were able to create this. It does temporary boot. I didn't try flashing it but the problems that create the black screen I believe are Android security during boot, usually something to do with dmverity i think, the no touch screen working is usually a driver issue that just needs a proper driver being installed in the build. Or even pushed with a terminal cmd poss I've seen.. And the two errors coming up permission denied for system root is one I've seen before and is I believe very common. All mostly has to do with Android security and all the little annoying issues in building a permissive recovery I suppose. But anyway the dude I'm going to ask will basically tell you probably exactly what to do the second he sees or hears the errors and sees ur files.. what do the two zip files contain? And how did you build this exactly? Curious.. from common trees from scratch or a device tree builder? if you don't have telegram, just text me 856-896-7600..... ~RAY..
[Moto G Stylus (2021)] sosthenisRR:
They contain most of kernel files and recovery and boot stock backup. Build.prop fstab and ueventd.rc. Also the device tree all pulled from the device root using root explorer. I ported this over from a different device that had the exact same specs. I used AIK for windows and modified the files to correlate with the moto g stylus 2021.
[Moto G Stylus (2021)] Awesomeslayerg:
ID like to work on this also do you have someway to communicate? I may have found one of the kernel source codes you can try building with.
[Moto G Stylus (2021)] sosthenisRR:
In all honesty I just need somebody to help me learn how to install touch drivers into the recovery. Then I will use avbtools to resize the file to its proper size. Just need the info. The rest of the recovery works. I've tested almost all of it. Haven't tested adb yet but I'm sure that won't be a problem if faulty.
[Moto G Stylus (2021)] sosthenisRR:
Here is the block partitions I used to partly configure the recovery. It's a bit messy but I think it's OK. Not trying to type all this out. Pulled from device last night.

Good day! I have been trying to search for a custom rom for my xiaomi mi 9 pro 5g, to no avail. Does anyone no if mi9 custom rom are compatible?
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] charecktowa:
I recently updated my Poco M3, it updated correctly but after that, it doesn't turn on anymore, I searched about it and I found that it was a problem with the update. I managed to turn on my phone again by pressing 13 seconds the power button, after that, I received a new update so I thought the update fixed that but when the phone rebooted to install the new update it doesn't turn on anymore. I've tried to enter fast boot mode but doesnt't works.

I don't know what should I do, I've tried again to hold on the power button and I also tried to enter fast boot but as I said it doesn't work. Also when I plug my phone to charge it, nothing happens

I hope someone can help me, and sorry for my bad English.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] vinzikidz:
you need to drain your battery first. same happen to my poco m3. after that you need to flash your firmware or else it will happen again after you reboot.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] charecktowa:
And how can I flash the firmware? I've tried using the Xiaomi Flash tool but it asks me for a Mi account that is valid for the process. :(
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] vinzikidz:
unlock bootloader. install twrp. flash firmware
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Minoda86:
Drain out your battery and then just plug the charger then wait.

I had this happen to me 2 times now,it would take days if your phone fully charged like mine,it takes 5 days.

After that,

make sure to backup your phone,unlock your bootloader and then re-flash the stock rom with Mi-Flash or just use another rom to your liking.

The truth is I like the stock MIUI than any other rom but if this kind of problem keep happening,I rather just flash another rom.

Hopes this help fixing your phone,sorry for the rant there.

How do I drain the battery
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] yankee77:
Poco m3 drains battery by itself. General rule of the thumb

1-10% - 0 to 1 day

11-20% - 2 days

Basically 1 day is around 10% of battery

I think the motherboard is on but for some odd reason the display board and basically the whole thing doesnt turn on on. But it still is draining battery even when turned off. Removing the battery doesnt fix it. I tried several times

But now there is again the same problem. I cannot turn it on anymore. :-(

I did not turn it off since I got it back. But now I have a black screen and the phone does nit start again.

Is there any other method where I do not have to open it???

I discharged the battery as described here on the forum and just got it restarted by booting it up with power button + volume down. It vibrated briefly and the Fastboot logo appeared. Then it got stuck. Then I long pressed the power button and it booted up. After booting up, it showed a battery level of 12%.

I just fix this son PoCo M3 to day by:

1. Hack open its (back) cover;

2. Open its internal (camera) cover (by removing the ten screws);

3. Unplug the battery ribbons in the middle and the right;

4. Unplug the thumbprint ribbon;

4. Plug in the Usb C power cable;

5. Re-plug the battery ribbons in the middle and the right;

6. Press power button and see the lightning symbol with power capacity;

7. Let it charge or long press the power button until it restarted;

Do repeat 3 to 7 until it restarts, if necessary.

8. Make sure the battery power is recharging / increasing to good level (50% ++)

9. Re-plug the thumbprint ribbon; close its internal (camera and (back) covers.

Note that I didn't put back the screws and keep them elsewhere because I am not so sure whether I need to open it and do the same process again in the future.

Anywhere, as the (back) cover is tight enough and it has another outer casing, I will leave it that way for the time being.

I also did the February 2022 patch / update and as I don't think its rom (software) is the issue, I will also stick to the original rom for the time being.

btw thx for reporting removing shield did not work for you! I am afraid in opening the housing as it will lose IP52 and btw I can barely imagine the technical background for this "fix" - my thought was it has more to do with the 400 degree heating, it's like resoldering cold solder joint. also some "tutorials" remove one or more capacitors/resistors
