So, I tried to install TWRP and Magisk and something gone wrong.

Now my phone is looping in Redmi Logo. I can't go to Recovery Mode or Fastboot, also a simple shutdown doesn't work.

My computer don't recognize when my phone is in USB (no one device connect).

I was trying something and sometimes recognize when pressing both volume buttons.

And now I am waiting my batery runs out...

Anyone know how to solve this?

Sorry for my bad english btw.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] VD171:
How did you install magisk exactly?
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] cxdu:
I used this commands on ADB

fastboot devices

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot flash misc misc.bin

fastboot boot recovery.img

These images was TWRP installation.

Flash the stock miui rom.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] 37berat37:
can you access fastboot mode? your devices' bootloader is unlocked? or locked? if you not access your fastboot mode you have to open phone cover and connect 2 pin together and open edl mode and flash rom via edl mode.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] wass8855:
my bootloader is unlocked and i can't access fastboot
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] 37berat37:
if your pc see your phone, can you try adb shell, and su code if it is see then we flash boot.img via dd codes.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] cxdu:
My phone is unlocked, so I can't access the fastboot mode.

Today my battery runs out, but when I plug USB cable it starts in Redmi logo and loop again.

And my PC don't recognize the phone, so I can't Flash or use ADB to reboot.

About EDL mode, I'll try.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] 37berat37:
how is not entering fastboot mode, it is very interesting? https://forum.miuiturkiye.net/konu/redmi-note-8-pro-yetkili-hesabi-atlamak-unbrick.104415/ can you try this link, it is turkish so you have to convert to english, if you not understand anyting ask me
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] cxdu:
Following method 1:

I could go to number 8 without problems, in LibUSB for instant I can saw the MediaTek USB Port and could install, but it disappear.

In number 10 this message appear on brom.bat, I think something gone wrong:

View attachment 5385027

And in Flash Tool the port COM5 appear when I press the Vol- key, but dissapear instantly, so I can't change of COM1...

OBSERVATION: I can't power off my phone, actually it is without battery, but when I plug on USB it jump to Redmi logo.

OBSERVATION²: I tried to continue pressing Vol- key to see if the port still, unsuccessful...
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] 37berat37:
in number 9 they are saying:

9. Ardından Bypass dosyasına geçip brom.bat komutunu çalıştırıyoruz. (Bu arada cihaz hala kapalı olmalı.)

9. start brom.bat(your phone has to close)

I think your phone is open?
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] cxdu:
No, is not.

Here, the translate from turkish is like:

"9. Then we go to the Bypass file and run the brom.bat command. (By the way, the device must still be turned off.)"

I can't turn it off.

If you're speaking about the back cover, I can't open it.

sorry I send to you redmi note 8 pro, correct link in here look at this one

first steps same with redmi note 8 pro but files different look at this one and tell me if you have any problem.

/Translate/

Bypass_MTK Download the file.

We introduce the driver of the Redmi Note 9 phone to the Libusb Filter program by pressing the VOLUME + / VOLUME - keys at the same time and inserting the usb cable. We don't just press VOLUME+ as in Note 8 Pro.

You can find the original files from the source here. I just compiled and made it working for you
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] wass8855:
we r having the exact same problem cuz when i press power button with volume- button my pc detects it for a while then it disappears
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] 37berat37:
when pc detecs can you do adb shell and su code?
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] cxdu:
On the brom.bat show this when I open:

I see on the GitHub, did the steps and unsuccessful again.

Now LibUSB can't recognize when I am pressing VOLUME + / VOLUME -, since I installed.

By the way, I recorded a video of my phone:

idk if it can help in something.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] cxdu:
ADB Shell can't recognize:

And about this su code, how I do that?

ok ı get it only solution open back and 2 pin connection and edl mode
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
Don't use that BROM.bat nor any other foreign file/archive, uninstall all of them and start from the scratch, all you need is here https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-how-t...d-flash-in-edl-with-no-auth-for-free.4229683/ just follow the steps carefully, and you'll get.

I can add from my own experience a slight variation and some inputs:

- When you are trying to reboot to any mode don't press PWR button while your device is connected to PC or you should be doing a kind of double PWR pressure, this will lead you to no place.

- If you want to enter to fastboot although is useless for you so from what I understood your device is locked, then you have to press the three buttons simultaneously till some vibration or a logo starts to appear, then release the vol up button and the PWR button (yes, because device is trying to reboot) and keep pressing the vol down button.

- The only advantage to get fastboot could be that let in it in fastboot mode with no interaction for about 10 minutes, the device itself will power off. (in case you need it)

- Once you set it up all the requirements' from Python, drivers till Lib-USB32.... then you surprisingly won't need any kind of combination buttons, just start the bypass.bat file and let visible, so you can see it, after that keep pressing the PWR button without letting to see the command window (bypass.bat) till the successful message appear, your device will go from a false on to other modes (MediaTek USB or Preloader mtk, etc.) till the bat file can catch it, and it'll do its thing in just a second.

- Also, you probably won't need to install nothing through Lib-USB32, but let it open just in case.

Get prepared the SP Flash tool before to try the above-mentioned, don't forget to disable in Options/General Check LIB DA match and Storage Life Cycle Check, and in Options/Connection; UART and Baud Rate to 921600
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] cxdu:
Ok.

LibUSB recognize MTK;

The bypass.bat message was ok;

And in Flash Tools I can change the Port to COM5 without problems;

My phone is connected on USB and is different, before it was in looping and now is in blackscreen.

And now? Sorry, my english is not so good, so I'm with a little difficult to continue...

I try to flash a ROM? Or I try to enter fastboot mode?
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
Sorry for delay, entering in fastboot mode is almost useless by now unless you can try to enter to download mode starting from a device power off and proceeding from fastboot the way I explained.

If you can get device recognized by SP Flash tool then go straight for that, flash the ROM and start from fresh.

If you can't get the things sorted keep trying varying the time and moment when you press the PWR key, if you go from device power off also you can get connected pressing the vol up while the device is trying to reboot to nowhere.

Till you can see the message "device bypassed" or similar.

OK, I read it better: FLASH the ROM to solve your issue, don´t remember that Download only will keep your bootloader but Firmware Upgrade will relock it.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] cxdu:
Don't worry about delay my friend, you have your life and it's ok, thanks for your help.

I was trying to flash a ROM, I downloaded the most recent merlin firmware:

But I am with a problem. These ROM don't have a valid scatter, so show this pop up:

I've tried with another scatters I found here on XDA Forum, but when I change to them the pogram can't find some archives like preloader, recovery... I select preloader and recovery, but I don't find nvram and another ones.

Searching methods I found one stockrom who came with the scatter and another files. 100%

But when I press Download button this message shows up

I researched about FlashTools error and it says the problem is with DA or Auth.

About my DA and Auth:

I found the DA on XDA forum with the scatter I said earlier;

So I thought the problem was the Auth. I found on a FlashTool download in YouTube.

So still unsuccessful.

By the way this is the forum I was speaking

[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
You should use other SP Flash tool version, sometimes the error comes from the tool.

Be sure to check on every attempt that the settings on the tool didn't change.

Also, you can do just one attempt every time, bypass.bat runs.

And trying again the same way it can be successful, it seems that the tool throws random errors.

And did you try even as it is? Probably you don't need all the partitions to be flashed.

You should use just the DA file that is inside the tool directory, the MTK_All_IN_ONE_DA.bin file, this worked fine for me from the versions 5.1924 and 5.2020.

Probably you have to tick from the tab Format, the option to flash all except bootloader.

I'll try, but now I am with another problem... (bro I am crying hahaha)

I do all steps and was fine, but today when I waked up I unplugged USB and now when I put in show my PC don't recognize phone USB. I've tried to restart, shutdown, take off power energy and nothing made it work, also tried on my brother notebook and shows up the same message. I don't know what to do :(
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] cxdu:
Actually I can't power on my phone, it is on a black screen. But I'll try these zerosec method. Thanks!
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
What does "and was fine" means? Maybe you could flash successfully, but PC doesn't detect it in Device Manager? Can you attach some screenshot from Device Manager?

As per the fastboot method suggested, if you have your bootloader locked, it won't work.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] cxdu:
With "fine" I mean in these method https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-how-t...d-flash-in-edl-with-no-auth-for-free.4229683/ I could make steps, was successful. But when I did I don't know how to proceed. But today, when I woke up, I unplugged USB and my PC can't recognize more my phone.

When I plug USB shows this message:

In FlashTool just shows COM1

In FilterWizard USB doesn't appear on list;

And when I press Vol - with phone plugged in bypass.bat nothing happen.

Device Manager:

I've tried to update or uninstall, but nothing happened.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
As I always have Python installed on my PC to be honest I only did need the bypass.bat to work.

In my first attempts (even with bootloader locked) I kept seeing every time if something happen with the FilterWizard and Device manager, but after that I get them out of this.

Finally, the only I did need was getting my SP Flash tool ready, executing the bypass.bat file and keeping pressing my device within only PWR button sometimes and sometimes combining with volume up.

In the meantime you press only PWR button the device will past from/to various modes and just have the bypass.bat command line window close to your eyes.

Your device is in an unstable condition right now, the drivers are updated constantly.

Your device can be listed under Ports (COM & LPT)

has anybody figured out what to do to get a working mms function to the pdaviet tf2d-roms? i currently use v30b, and i tried several versions of arcsoft mms composer on it... but everytime different registry-settings were missing, so for example i was not able to set size limit and so on. when i created the missing entrys manually, i could open mms, but there where no pictures to choose, even on storage card none of my pictures were displayd.. so i tried to send an mms just with text, but nothing happened... mms still stayed in the outbox.. :( on other versions of arcsoft i jus didn't come that far... i was not able to create a new account on some versions... so maybe something basicly on rom is missing to install mms???
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] IRREAL:
The lastest rom tf2d PDAVIET are all without mms and not only...

no Windows live,no browser,etc..
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] malsehn:
yes, that's claer, but all of them can be installed after flashing the roms. browser etc. and so mms, too. but mms i can't get to work! google maps runs, opera too and so on... but no matter, what version of arcsoft mms is installed, it never work on this roms... :( anybody else an idea, why???
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] IRREAL:
Yes,but after to have put within browser, mms, youtube and google maps the device not it moves more..!!This is the problem.

However test to install an other cab for the mms.

for your other post: i have to say that my orbit is unexpected fast and stable also with these (and other) apps on it! manila runs perfect, google maps work great, destinator 6 too, all my other apps needed do so... expect mms (till now..)

[Redmi Note 10] syntheticdingo:
The waiting period to unlock the bootloader will be done this Friday, and I plan to install crDroid once it is over.

I would like to confirm that these are the right steps/order since it is my first time doing such a thing to a phone and I don't want to brick it. I don't have an SD card yet, so I will be using adb sideload

Install crDroid

1. Reboot phone in fasboot mode and plug it to computer

2. From computer terminal run: fastboot boot path/to/TWRP.img to boot into TWRP 3.5.2

3. Wipe > Swipe to Factory Reset

4. Advanced > adb Sideload

5. adb sideload path/to/ROM.zip

Install TWRP + microG + Magisk

6. Boot phone and set up crDroid

7. Transfer TWRP + microG + Magisk to phone storage

8. Reboot phone in fasboot mode

9. fastboot boot TWRP.img to boot again into TWRP 3.5.2

10. Install TWRP recovery to Ramdisk (Advanced > Install Recovery Ramdisk)

11. Flash microG (Install > microG.zip)

12. Flash Magisk (Install > Magisk.apk)

13. Reboot phone and install Magisk APK

14. Be done :)

Should I back up any partitions before doing this? Which?

Is the microG install for RN10 done by flashing zip or Magisk Module? Does it matter?
[Redmi Note 10] qaz.xc:
Too many steps there... till 5 it's good but "factory reset" doesn't do what you think it does, i.e, it does not delete your INTERNAL DATA (photos, documents/etc);

That means you can put Magisk/MicroG/twrp on your phone storage like now and flash it all after you flash CRDROID, then you reboot to recovery;

It won't be TWRP because the DEV dropped it from latest build but it doesn't matter (the recovery gets replaced with the ROM flash (from any ROM) because our device (mojito/sunny) does not have a recovery partition and the recovery is inside the BOOT partition), from there you click "apply update", select the zips you want to install and install them. (respect any order of the packages you want to install as always if there's any) .

Then you reboot the phone and install magisk apk.

I only used microG for Youtube Vanced and used their app to install it without problems, now i switched to the rooted method that replaces the YT app mostly without issues (after some tinkering)

I hope i clarified a few things for you.

By the way, there's no way these days to fully brick your device, you can flash any partition / ROM from fastboot mode which can't be disabled or bricken if your device has it (most do).

A good backup is nevertheless always recommended. (either for panicking reasons or for peace of mind) , also, disabling encryption is also recommended before changing ROM's/kernel's.
[Redmi Note 10] syntheticdingo:
Ok, so to make sure I understood correctly: you are saying I can use the recovery included in crDroid to install TWRP to ramdisk, as well as Magisk and microG, correct? (avoiding step 9.)

How did you install microG this time over? Flashing or Module?

Yes, so I hear, but I'd rather not risk soft bricking it on my first try hahaha

Will def make a backup of system, vendor, etc with TWRP.

Thanks
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
FYI installing TWRP from linux didn't work for me, had to go windo*s :/

P.S.:

On my side I'll tell you for sure once I'm out of fastboot lol ^^

but usually (if your rom accept signature spoofing) on all my other install i do it this way:

install magisk module fdroid privileged extension

install fdroid

install microg fdroid repository

install microg from fdroid

launch microg and check all the boxes (sometimes you need to install more components from fdroid if you want gps or to fake playstore and stuff like that)
[Redmi Note 10] qaz.xc:
You can use the included recovery to flash anything you'd like, except TWRP (or any other recovery), for TWRP (if you really want it, you're mentioning it too much) you do fastboot boot twrp.img, inside i think in advanced options there's an option to install TWRP which installs it into ramdisk (if you use the one made for this phone 3.5.2 ofc)

I never installed microG because i don't use it, i only tried it once because the Youtube Vanced option without root which i used in the MIUI ROM before i got permission to unlock bootloader and rooting the device, then, i use pico gapps so i haven't found a need for microG, but there's gotta be a tutorial on how to install it if you search for it.
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
So, yep, I confirm, that works :
[Redmi Note 10] syntheticdingo:
Sweet, will try it tomorrow if nothing goes sideways with the bootloader unlock 🤞
[Redmi Note 10] syntheticdingo:
Yes, that worked for me. both times. I only have an issue with Signal saying there is not Play services installed and not showing up in CLoud messaging, even though all Self-check is marked and other apps show up there.

Reinstalled the ROM (got that bootloop bc I forgot to do the wipes/factory reset), but I still have the same issue. *sighs*
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
Hey

Yes it is an "issue" with Signal... not sure if it's due to g**gle, signal or microG... one sure thing is that Signal dev won't do anything about it, as they stated on github (and their forums too), for them either you have "working" play services (i.e. official from g**gle), either their app can fallback to a persistent websocket which apparently shouldn't consume that much more battery in the end.. but that idk), so there's no issue according to them... (they clearly don't give a lot of a f**k regarding foss community, same attitude since a long time towards fdroid and all...)

One workaround (waiting for a better solution) would be to first install Signal 4.59.8 (or previous versions), for example here https://signal-private-messenger.de.uptodown.com/android/versions, make sure it register well via micro (reboot insist and everything... but shouldn't have too), and then, update to last version.

Even if there's messages stating some problem with play service it should stay registered and it should receive messages without any problem (at least it works well for me).

(You could check molly, a little bit more secure fork of signal, and it's the same you can install previous version from here https://github.com/mollyim/mollyim-android/releases?after=v4.59.9-1, and at least you get updates trough fdroid, that's what i use)

On a side note, Signal is becoming more and more dodgy, they even launch their own ponzi own cryptocurrency, but (which really worries me) the source code of the server side is no longer public...(same problem for the forks of course as you have to go through signal servers)

Well it is a shame after all the efforts i took to make people I interact with move to signal that I will have to make them move to matrix (element is a nice client)... (and that time Elon won't help me...)

So yeah... hope i won't have to use signal for long... (i mean if it's just as bad as using wh**tsap, what's the point...?)

Cheers !
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
So, in the end, what would be the exact steps one has to reproduce in order to install CrDroid on an untouched (bootloader unlocked indeed) Redmi Note 10 to succeed from first shot ?

(I messed up badly and even had to use MiFlash... and i'm not even sure how i succeeded in the end lol... A/B is gave me a hard time I guess ^^)
[Redmi Note 10] syntheticdingo:
Well, what worked for me was:

boot into fastboot and plug into pc

run fasboot boot TWRP.img

format data and wipe all but last two partitions (dalvik, metadata, data and internal storage)

then enable adb sideload

run adb sideload crdroid.zip (it will kinda fail/succeed at 47% on terminal/just after it gets to step 2 on phone for me)

reboot phone to system and set it up

transfer magisk, twrp.img microg/gapps to internal storage

reboot phone into fastboot again

and run fastboot boot TWRP.img again

and from there flash magisk.apk, microg/gapps

install recovery to ramdisk

then install magisk app when you boot

regrding magisk: for me, both times i did this, i had to reboot into recovery after doing all that and reflash Magisk a second time in order for it to fully complete the installation. you may have better luck

I will read your other post when I wake up

hope that does it for you
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
Thanks a lot !

Actually, i did install everything already , but i'm confused how i succeeded lol (see here if you have nothing better to do ^^)

I guess the "step" i missed (or messed :p) was the

idk...

well, i was asking mostly for other users who would like to succeed on the first try :) (and probably for me next time...)

Thanks a lot !!!

Cheers!

We got my mother in law a new A12 about a week ago and yesterday she set up a screen lock pin thinking it was for one of her apps and then forgot the pin. Grrrr... How do I recover the phone? My wife is bringing the phone home here so I can figure out how to unlock or factory reset it. Can I reload the firmware using odin to recover the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy A12] SubwayChamp:
Format data from recovery stock.

Tipically is pressing the PWR + vol up starting from device off, when device starts to vibrate and/or appears the Samsung logo hold the PWR button and keep pressing the vol button
