Uncheck preloader and check again. Let me know, probably you are missing something more.

still not working
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
OK, you said you passed the unauthorized verification, I guess you installed the devel filters and so on.

Now you have to set the SP Flash tool in Options/General Check LIB DA match and Check Storage Life Cycle and in Connection; UART/Baud Rate to 921600
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] lobothefoots:
Do you know you have to relaunch the bypass each time you try to use SP Flash tool and after each error too?

y tenia el mismo problema, lo SOLUCIONE, es un problema de Driver, tus driver preloader estan desactualizado, anda al administrador de dispositivos, busca el puerto donde esta conectado el telefono y dale clic derecho y luego actualizar controlador, la Pc debe hacer el proceso de actualizarlo y luego vas a Flashtool y le das Start, listo. repito: Actualiza el Controlador o Driver

Hi guys, I get the same error on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Plus, installed the MTK USB Drivers, Bypassed the usb, loaded the global begonia miui 10 flashboot for it, DA/ Scatter/ Auth loaded up, i see the MTK Port in my device manager but i cant find it in SP Flash tool Options/ Connection/ UART .. why ? Is that the problem ? It may be a driver problem, are my drivers bad (MTK Usb Driver v1.0.8) ? Can you guys give some tips on good drivers for this operation ? Thank you in advance.

Once you bypassed restriction, then keep connected to the PC, and just run SPFT, take a look how your device appears on device manager and upload the screenshot here.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] Dr4kunov:
I forgot to mention.. the device is locked on miui cloud and i dont have the account, so i cant unlock the dev mode, is that the problem ? Do i need to enter edl test state ? shorting the motherboard test pins ? The device only appears in libusb as Redmi Note 8 plus, i install the mediatek driver but .. no succes.

My system says, (unknown USB device), even with drivers
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
The thing is that the drivers must be updated in the communication before your device and the PC, not your PC only.

This means you have to see where it is the change on the device manager when you plugged your device, if you need the preloader mode, firstly you have to see your device under COM Port, to can update it. You can provide some screenshot from the list at this exact time, to see it.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Real Life Review] almahix:
I've been using my OnePlus 7 pro since it first came out. I bought it when OnePlus offered it for sale at a low price and I loved it, from day one.

I am one to try different ROMs and Kernels but for the first time in Android history I was satisfied with Oxygen OS and didn't need a custom ROM. I do like to root the phone to use TWRP and Titanium Backup.

Somewhere along the line I thought I had bricked the phone. No matter what I did I could not get it working again or even run TWRP. So, as a last result, I decided to get another OnePlus phone, this time the 8 pro.

While using the 8Pro I learned of an app that let restore the phone to factory settings (MSM?). I tried it and I had my 7 pro back. Since I was using the 8 pro I decided to have an extra cell to use with wifi and the 7 went to live in my bedroom where I would use it nightly.

After a while, Android 11 came along and I could no longer use TWRP on the phone and it became overly difficult to root with magisk. After a while the 7pro got it working but never the 8pro. Not only that but the Bluetooth interface with my hearing aids started to malfunction regularly and this became a major headache. So I switched the SIM from the 8 to the 7 and everything works great and I'm so grateful it was able to be restored. It is head and shoulders greater than the 8pro and it as good as new.

I'm a little disappointed in OnePlus as they no longer offer regular software updates to their phones, and I'm pretty sure I will return to Google Pixel phones next time. I will sell the 8 and put the 7 in the bedroom as I have become accustomed to having one up there. I'm sure I can still depend on the 7pro for a long time more. I may switch to a custom ROM that is regularly updated unlike the OnePlus phones. But despite that, the 7pro is one of the best phones I've ever used. The 8 was great too, but just not for me.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Real Life Review] KirkH420:
They use the dual partition setup, which makes it more challenging for TWRP to be built.

What this means is that if you see an "OTA" update, you probably shouldn't jump on it and immediately install it. I did that once. After that I could not install TWRP because the phone had been updated from 10 to 11 and the TWRP team hadn't had time to release a new version yet.

Probably good advice on any phone though.... updates CAN stop you from having a rooted device, at least temporarily until a custom recovery is released.

As for my OnePlus 7 pro, i couldn't be happier.

I'm really glad that I paid the extra $200 for it on the OnePlus website.

Because that enabled Accident Protection.

At the end of the two year period, I set an alert to remind me, I called OnePlus and told them that i broke my back glass. They said No problem, send us the device and $75 deductible. Within 3 days I had my replacement device. Sure, it's probably a Re-man, but after 2 years of strong service and now I get a refreshed device??? I'll take it!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] maddog241:
Greetings to all...

I recently had to replace my original HTC battery that came with my XV-6800. I also have a standard Seidio battery and charger which I use. I use the Seidio charger to charge whichever battery happens to be the spare at the moment and I swap them as needed. Last night when I pulled the dying Seidio battery out and put the stock HTC battery in, each time I slid the keyboard open or closed, the phone would shut off and reboot. I put the dying Seidio battery back in and the phone was fine. As soon as I put the HTC battery back in, the problem occurred.

So, the HTC battery is bad???? That was my first thought....But maybe not. Today after the HTC battery was in overnight, I can not reproduce the problem. The battery is at 64% currently and is showing 3.871 V. as reported by Batti 2.4. Last night it was 100% and 4.4V.

I was wondering if anyone knew of the voltage tolerance + or - from the 3.7 V the batteries are rated? Could the battery have been overcharged by the Seidio charger?

Has anyone else seen or heard of this problem?
[General Questions and Answers] zoey_96:
My Redmi Note 8 suddenly stopped accepting my correct pattern lock, so I was forced to reset. It turns out I had Google Backup enabled, which was a happy surprise. However, it asks me for the previous pattern lock of the phone, which it still won't accept. This is incredibly frustrating.

Is there anything I can do to get access to the backup file or be able to use it? Will it get deleted if I don't restore it right now, in the initial setup?

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Is this a second hand device? It seems that it is linked to another account.

If your device is unlocked, you are rooted and enabled previously USB debugging, you should pull your backup or some other partition.

The initial setup itself can't delete any data.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Interesting. If you did a factory reset with no internet connection would this thrwart it?

Be careful...

Never use bios, screen locks etc because this is what can happen. Ive gotten locked out of a bios before because of data corruption... with disastrous results. Had no lock been enabled nothing would have happen.

Data encryption for data hdds is an even worse idea... don't do it.
[General Questions and Answers] zoey_96:
No, I had this phone for almost two years now and bought it new. Three weeks ago I tried to fingerprint unlock it with wet fingers and after several unsuccesful attempts it asked me for the pattern lock, which it didn't accept, even though I know the correct one. I've been trying to find a way to unlock it or make a backup ever since but found no solution, so I decided to reset.

After factory reset from recovery mode, it asked me if I wanted to restore a backup, and although I thought I probably didn't have one, I logged into the google account I used on the phone before the reset. Turns out I did have backup turned on! However, when I went to restore it, it asked me for the lock pattern at the time of the backup creation. Predictably enough, it didn't accept it, which is where I'm stuck now.

After factory reset, my device is indeed now unlocked. It is not rooted. I had USB Debugging enabled, but my laptop wasn't authorized, which is why in the end I couldn't unlock it or make a backup previously. I tried plugging it into the laptop in it's current state (waiting for the lock pattern to restore my backup) and tried adb, but it can't find my device at all. Previously, it just said unauthorized, so I suppose USB Debugging is now off.

Plugging it into the computer allowed me to use mtp mode and I took a quick look into the files. All of my files are gone, so I'm pretty sure everything got deleted before the setup stage.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Thwart what? I factory reset from recovery mode so I don't think internet connection had any role there, but I did have it on before. And I connected to the wifi before it asked me to log into google.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Where's the lock screen code being stored after the factory reset?

In the phone or cloud?

If in the userdata partition it should be wiped.
[General Questions and Answers] zoey_96:
From what I understand, it was used to encrypt the Google backup file, so it will ask for it even if you try to restore it on another device. So I suppose the answer is cloud.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If you did factory reset device, then all is gone.

Regarding the status locked or not I referred to the bootloader, in case it is locked and the USB debugging is not already enabled then you have less chances to recover the device.

You should try flashing the device through EDL mode but old days (in my last RN8) it requires an authorized Mi account.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
If you can factory reset it now FPR isn't active.

So when it first boots up after the reset if you can shield it from internet access you can disable Google backup Transport and Framework.

I think these are the backup pathways but you'll need to verify this.

If you need that backup data though it a catch 22. Perhaps if you keep the phone powered on until the backup is done and fully disable screen lock before rebooting... you can have your data without the lockout.

I may be mistaken. This is interesting but I'm very glad it's not my experiment!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 072648:
I have been looking without success for an app that can track on the status bar how much of my plan data has been used . There used to be only one which is no longer available. Looks like the only way is with rooting and Gravity Box and I don't wanna go there.

Android 11 has an Internet and Network | Mobile data setting -- should be simple to show its content on the status bar.

Anybody knows of an app or simple customization?

Thanx.

That's what I was hoping for. I have a Pixel 4a 5G.

I am not clear whether Xiaomi is wifi, mobile, or both data. I need to see only the the TOTAL MOBILE data, not the daily.

I am on T-Mobile and if I recall correctly when I was on postpaid I used the T-Mobile app and I think it did show that. Unfortunately I switched to prepaid and the app is not available.
[OnePlus 9] Superguy:
Hey all,

I've been on the Global then EU Roms more or less since day 1. I've been having a lot of call quality issues and it's looking like I'm going to have to revert back to the T-Mo ROMS at least temporarily.

I unlocked my bootloader after switching to the global rom. I really don't want to go thru the whole T-Mo unlock token thing after reverting. Could I get temporary root by booting from a patched Magisk image on my PC, then back up the modems with Partition Manager? Or could I extract the modems from the T-Mo images/OTAs and flash them?

I don't like the bloat in the T-Mo load and want to go back to EU afterward, but the phone's call quality, BT, and data speeds (cell and Wifi) are atrocious as it currently stands.

Any guidance or thoughts on the best way to proceed?

Thanks,

Super

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] selyb:
What I mean is, it seems to me that it would be more efficient to put any/all files that may be upgraded as packages and instead of flashing cooked roms, we could flash a generic rom and uninstall old/reinstall new packages

Am I making sense to anyone?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mbarvian:
I understand you ;)

I believe this is part of what chefs who create "lite" or "unbloated" or "clean" or "naked" (in Garmin's ROMs) are trying to achieve.

I personally like the idea, and hope we see more of them.

My personal favorite ROM of all time was the very first Hyperdragon III :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
Up until recently the problem has been that cooks either created loaded ROMs with tons of stuff added to them, or lite ROMs, where they stripped this out.

The issue was however that it is quite easy to strip things out of a ROM. Making CAB packages out of those stripped out files however can be one of the more time consuming tasks and cooks didn't always offer those packages. In addition, CABs which were made available from other sources weren't always packaged in entirety and wouldn't always install.

Cooks have been getting better at this recently however. My new set of ROMS follows these concepts precisely:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=429117
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] -888-:
I have been calling and advocating for this too basically since the dawn of UC ;)

Previously I didn't post much under different nick, but I have "put up together" this concept in THIS thread finally, albeit with somewhat misleading "temporary" title, but it is good discussion if anyone is interested.

Granted, few apps have to be cooked-in in order to function properly, but those are really just very few. But as you can read there, most objections against this kind of "real lite" ROMs (where any "upgraedable apps" are NOT cooked-in) come from people who don't understand it, or don't know much about UC or Sashimi (BTW I'm for UC rather than Sashimi because UC is much easier for any newbies), or just don't know/have no clue how it works and are affraid it would make troubles to them if they don't have the same apps cooked-in.

Perhaps any of you could add your input there, since there isn't much sense in starting new thread about basically same thing.

Bengalih, I will test your ROMs with pleasure when I have bit m,ore time (or actually a second Kaiser would be great ;) ).

But I can already give you my sincere congratulations now if you have created such ROMs :)

I have made ROM based on hang.tuah's ROMeOS (it was going to be an update, but ended in another ROM, LOL - not quite "lite" as I would want it, but I can't change the things that were "always there" now ;)). I try to steer its users into UC and use "extended packs" for things like dialers, comm managers etc. They'll have best proof that "cooked-in" is *worse* than "installed" soon, when they will have i.e. choice of Opal or Kaiser dialer in the extended pack - which obviously would be impossible if the dialer was cooked-in in the ROM...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] selyb:
@bengalih: your post is what got me to thinking about this again

I'm happy to see that you others share my attitude towards efficiency :)

I have not completely read thru both of your threads but I suppose what needs to be done is to create a universal standard

The way I see it, this type of system would be beneficial to cooks and end users alike. End users need a minimal variety of options to install these collections and a minimal variety of each basic rom release to install the collections to. Cooks need a simple system to adhere to that requires no more work to put together their collections than the current amount of work they do to create their roms.

Here is a sample proposal (what I'm thinking right now with a minimal knowledge of rom cooking :p )

A base rom of each flavor could be made available to download. By each flavor, I mean a different rom with each combination of files that must be cooked in to work. I haven't read anything like that before so if there are more than a couple combinations then no more than 4-5 with typcal combinations should be considered.

I need to do some reasearch to learn what benefits and/or caveats are associated with UC and Sashimi. I suppose cooks should be the ones to decide whether to make their collection(s) combatible one installer or the other.
