Hi everyone,

I just unlocked my bootloader, after several attempts... I didn't be able to flash another ROM. I read that it is normal because I'm in version higher than 400 (currently 8.0.0.410)

If you can help me ! Thanks a lot in advance !

I tried to access the bootloader mode by pressing the volume down button and power button but to no avail. I even tried various combination just to access to bootloader mode but failed. Is there any other way to unbrick the phone? I tried making some research but since the phone is quite new, so there are not so much info I that could get.
[Realme GT] rakoncwy:
The rom you used is not a full package rom.

We should never relock.

If you find it on the Internet, you should consult a person who can restore it remotely.

If it's impossible, go to the nearest Real Me service center...

I think you need recovery. img

For your information, I requested recovery tool to Realme China online center.

[Realme GT] srsbsns89:
I saw in the internet about entering into EDL mode for all qualcomm devices. I am not sure if this option can be done on realme gt, and even if it does, there is uncertainty if this method can unbrick the device. I try to keep looking other options. If not, then I may need to send the device to the customer service.

Some people say that the customer service may have to replace the motherboard in order to get the device work again, which I think the cost to replace the motherboard wont be cheap.
[Realme GT] /life:
You were rightly told that under such circumstances you cannot block the bootloader.

No motherboard replacement is required, this is a regular brick that can be restored in 10 minutes via EDL. It's just that the gentlemen from Realme are greedy and do not share any tools with us, such as Oneplus.

You can contact the service center, or ask to flash it remotely, you are given a login / password in the special software MSM download tool or QFIL, or similar software. There is also a person on the Internet who can do it for money.

[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] gfrank227:
OK:

1. First you need to root the device. Follow this guide. You will use adb to patch the boot.img file of your current firmware.

2. After you have rooted, you can install the unofficial TWRP for Android 10 Moto G8 Plus from here. The zip file will install through magisk. Works fine; I tested it last night.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] querty75:
Hello,

Is there a way to dowgrade the bootloader of SM-G950F with stock fw G950FXXUCDUD1 to further flash a stock fw Android 8?

- flashing a downgraded bl with twrp?

- with "combination" fw?

- with a modified stock bl flashed with Odin?

...?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spawnlives:
No. Samsung will not allow flashing of lower bootloader versions numbers.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] querty75:
Hello, thank you for your answer.

Even with a combination fw or directly flashing an older bootloader with twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spawnlives:
No.

Combination roms follow stock firmware regarding bootloader version ( can't downgrade). TWRP is a recovery image to replace stock, You can do more things in twrp over stock except downgrade stock firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] querty75:
Ok, but what about this thread which seems to say it's doable with combination roms?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spawnlives:
I've seen many guides on how to downgrade stock firmware. Most of them revolve around editing stock firmware. None of them mention whether the bootloader version was actually downgraded. To me personally you are essentially trying to install a custom type rom using by using stock firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] querty75:
I checked and you're right. The minimal configuration for flashing the bl is a tar with cm.bin and sboot.bin and this leads to the usual error "... check fail(cm) device : x binary : y" (whatever odin version used... patched or stock)

reverse engineering sboot and cm.bin and changing the binary release doesn't help because the code is signed and verified by the PBL from the ROM.

The only way to do it should be to connect to the exynos jtag / uart / ? and to reverse engineering the soc (!) modifying the way the PBL check the SBOOT.

Adam Outler a researcher did it on GalaxyS (1 or 2!) more than ten year ago... (https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-hack-hardware-binary-and-bend-it-to-your-will.1338073/)

So... I think is doable with a lot of talent and patience...

Anyway, thank you for your help!

So far I've found the cache for things stored in it, the 'permissions' xml for it (and know that the package is named com.lge.software.cliptray but... I am not finding that *anywhere*.

Hello guys,

I have a problem with installing and starting TWRP for the Mi 8 Pro Explorer Edition (Codenamed Ursa).

I have the latest version of Miui Global available for my device (MIUI 12.0.1), and I have unlocked the bootloader with the official procedure (successfully).

I followed the guide for MIUI.eu (the same with all devices to tell the truth) to install the latest TWRP available, but when TWRP starts the device remains off. I can get into fastboot or start it normally, but I can't install it despite ADB giving me positive results.I also tried to install older TWRP, but the result is the same, the device does not start the TWRP, remaining off. Anyone have a solution?

Thanks a lot to everyone :)

Ps. When I unlocked the bootloader I had to enter some registry keys otherwise the annoying bug came out that when connecting the device to the PC it came out of fastboot mode, opening a black page with a white writing at the top left

PPS. I want install MIUI.eu 12.5, So I'm wasting all this time :D

It maybe the access point is not configured right.

I never had to do much more than I described, fortunately, so my learning curve has blissfully flat lined. I'm on AT&T so my access point settings are probably irrelevant to your phone.

If it has a sim card it may have failed. Handle sim cards like a stick of ram, ESD can damage them. Damage may manifest itself instantly or weeks even years later.

It should have good signal though otherwise most of the homeless would have left🤭

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] coolmen777:
Hi, I have a stock 6T (T-mobile variant) that is SIM unlocked (bootloader is not) running on 10.3.10 build. My previous 6T (which died after drop/crack) was converted to international firmware and running Android 9 (with unlocked bootloader, root, etc). I was planning on doing the same thing to this one, until I read multiple reports of T-mobile bootloaders not being certifiable for GPay, etc. I really need the root, don't really care much about bootloader or having a working recovery to flash custom ROMs (prefer stock experience from 9). Then there are rumors of beta Android 11 coming, so I am wandering what would be my best option to use. Is there a way to just root the stock T-mobile or need to unlock bootloader, convert to international, etc. Root is wanted for ad-block. audio tweaks, CarStream (youtube for Android Auto) and possibly few other things that I might already forgot. I do value stability and battery life with some tweaks allowed by OxygenOS although familiar with Pixel launcher and like Google Feed option. I am sure this was already discussed in various threads but any pointers would be highly appreciated.
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] teranz:
Hi:

I flashed a Samsung phone a few years ago so I am a little familiar on how to do this. I have had my LG G5 LS992 Sprint (DEMO) phone for about 2.5 year and just recently it started getting hot (sometimes) for some unknown reason... it is not the battery. I performed a factory reset and no change. So before I trash the phone for a hardware failure I thought it best to flash the OS and see if that fixes it.

I have tried every LG Flash utility I can find and they all fail. The LG Mobile Support Tool (LGMST) gives this error message:

View attachment 5371333

Is this truly why I cannot flash the phone using any flash tool? I`m not looking for an upgrade, just a re-load of the latest firmware that I have. During flash attempts the phone is in Firmware Update mode, developer options are enabled, Enable OEM unlock is enabled and USB debugging is on. USB communications is set to MTP. It is running Android 7.0 Kernel 3.18.31 Software version LS992ZVF. Again, this is a "DEMO" phone if that makes a difference.

IN the LGMST if I choose the option of "Upgrade Recovery" the LGMST actually downloads a firmware image but fails when it tries to load it to the phone. It seems the phone has a built in flash-block by any method other than OTA. The phone is not active with any carrier so the OTA Firmware load method is not an option.

If anyone has insights as to what is going on I would sure like to know what they are. If I have to trash the phone I will.

Thanks,

Tom
