[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] zoey_96:
Hello!

I need help regarding a Redmi Note 8 that no longer accepts the correct pattern and is locked.

I'm looking for a solution that would allow me to either unlock my phone without data loss, or make a backup of the phone's internal storage on an sd card/pc before hard resetting.

The device is not rooted and I don't have custom recovery installed. USB Debugging is on, but my laptop is not authorized.

With Adb, the device is detected but unauthorized. It seems to be detected normally in fastboot mode. I was able to get my laptop to detect it in recovery mode by clicking on "Connect with MIAssistant" while it was plugged in, but only in sideload mode. I also somehow managed to get into safe mode, but I used the stock screen lock, so unless there's something else that can be done in that mode, it doesn't seem useful in this situation.

I tried the actual MIAssistant software but it tells me to update my device before connecting. From what I found, this is because it doesn't even work with phones running Android 6.0 Marshmallow or above, so that seems to be a dead-end, unfortunately. Downloaded from here, updated to version 3.2.1.3111. If there's a newer version that could support my device, even an untranslated one, I would love to know, but I couldn't find a working one.

I had some ideas that could potentially solve my problem, but couldn't find a way to actually execute them, so here they are in case someone out there who knows more than me could help me with one of them.

1, Is there any way I could authorize my laptop for USB Debugging without being able to accept the prompt on screen?

2, Is there a way to make a backup of the internal storage of my phone in fastboot/sideload mode?

3, Is there a way to get adb to detect this device normally in recovery mode, instead of in sideload mode?

4, Is there a way to get my device into mtp/ptp mode instead of charging mode when connected to a PC without USB Debugging so I can copy my files?

5, Here's a thread I found that seems promising, although it's old. Could I somehow use this, or a similar method on Redmi Note 8? The Recovery Mode is much more limiting on this device, unfortunately, so I can't exactly follow this tutorial. Are there alternatives that can be done in adb fastboot/sideload mode, perhaps?

6, If I am forced to hard reset, is there any software out there that could recover at least some of the deleted data afterwards, or is everything lost in case of a reset?

I am open to new ideas not listed above, as well. I am not a very advanced user so I probably missed some things.

Thank you so much for any answer in advance!
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
do you have the default recovery ? or a custom one ?

No
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] zoey_96:
Default, which doesn't have many options on Xiaomi. :/

Sad to hear that. :( Are there any alternative options that could solve my problem? I'd really rather not factory reset.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
if you had twrp or similar your problem would be solved ...

not as far as i know, ask in ADB thread if you find any
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] zoey_96:
Updated with extra info in case anyone else has any ideas.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Elinx:
Even if you can copy your files to PC, they are problably unusable because of encryption.

That is why you need that pattern

For security this is exactly what you want, if your phone is lost or stolen.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] zoey_96:
Do you mean that the reason it doesn't accept the correct pattern anymore is for security? I would have thought it would still accept the correct one, at least after several tries of the same thing. Being completely locked out even when you know the correct password is a little strange to me.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] SBUnlock:
Howdy bro (I also have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8).

I've been almost two intense weeks reading and watching the XDA forum, trying somehow and I did not find the way to unlock it .... Besides that I have the Bootloader disabled it makes me more difficult, because for that I need to format my phone and is what I do not want .... Already today is my last day of searching and I think I will have to leave my memories behind and Format my cell phone.

I leave you a thread of a user that explains well the process of why you can not:

[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
I'm posting video footage of CPU usage after the phone reboots until all activated services are running.

It's PE+ with Magisk, EdXposed, GravityBox, CallRecorder, Viper4Android FX and more, core NetErnels.

The first video has the standard CPU clock, the second video has the lowest frequency reduced.

In the upper part you can see the performance of the individual CPU cores, in the lower right part you can see the CPU temperature as a whole.

Currently, the processor's performance does not respond to the temperature reached and continues to run at full power until the core crashes and shuts down.

Spoiler content hidden.

EDIT: Fixed duplicate link.
[Redmi Note 10] dedq:
Get rid of EdXposed and get LSPosed since it has improved my performance a lot.
[Redmi Note 10] Abdullah.Csit:
Weird 😬 In video 1 it shows temperature hits 54°,47°,.. and there is no halt in cores.

hmm That's really a problem that worth to look on it.

Is That some companies weird politics to get device retires quickly ? 😁 Or I'm just exaggerated.
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
There will be some sort of fuse for actual overheating. The core only shuts down when it's overloaded and overheated for a long time. Once it cools down, it runs again even at maximum.

It will be a hardware protection, probably integrated in the CPU chip. There is no software protection or regulation. Only governor-controlled power gain curves.
[Redmi Note 10] Abdullah.Csit:
Well, I was curious 🦝 to Finding out what's going on.

But the results on mine seems normal? as WITH NO MAGISK = NO MODULES.

- Neternels V2.0 Kernel

[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
Yes, the CPU load will drop after all modules are loaded. That's not the problem. I took advantage of the longer load times to demonstrate the CPU behavior. If the CPU is not under load, you won't see anything.

Without add-ons and modules, the startup phase goes very quickly and you don't see the CPU under load.

You can also see the no-load phase at the end of my videos.
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
I'm attaching one more video.

The split screen is running moto navigation with ride video and CPU tracking on.

This time we can see temperature overload up to 60°C and also crashes of individual CPU cores.

CPU power was allocated by the Governor himself.
[Redmi Note 10] qaz.xc:
Got some tips to force cpu usage to 100% to try to replicate? I tried benchmarks + recording etc and could not get it to push constantly past 50 on mostly stock pe+ with magisk.. and it didn't fail on like a 10-15m test
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
The application must not run in the background.

The split screen makes this possible.

CPU power is allocated by the Governor upon request by applications. For maximum performance, therefore, presumably Governor PERFORMANCE.

Edit: change governor
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
Today I tested the CPU in pure crDroid.

I turned on CPU tracking in crDroid and compared it with 3C tracking.

crDroid does not monitor the CPU temperature, but maybe the battery, or something else. Throughout the test, it showed 37°C, although 3C showed over 53°C and the cores were shutting down. crDroid did not even detect disconnected cores. So maybe the problem is monitoring a different temperature sensor.
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
How did the phone "feel" during your tests, i mean did you noticed it was actually hot? what about responsiveness?
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
The longer test was conducted while driving the car and running the navigation with video recording of the drive (5 min. loop). Heat was radiating from the area around the camera. The phone was quite hot. On the sunny side, the phone was shaded by a white, opaque cover (outside the lens). After warming up, the navigation stopped working. The navigation was freezing and the touch screen was not responding. It wasn't until a shorter test at home that I discovered that the CPU cores must have been out of order.

Navigation is Sygic with Dashcam recording.

I've used it in the past with slower processors, and never had that problem. It also got hot, but there was no crash.
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
interesting... thanks for sharing!

did you report it to CrDroid dev ?
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
It's something to do with the phone. So far I have not found a ROM or kernel that does not have this problem. The problem manifested itself on Miui as well. It would be good if someone else could test Sygic with Dashcam running.

Hi all

Sorry for my poor english. I'm from China. Need for some help ,thanks!

I am searching one software for my smartphone which could achieve this function as below:

It can detect the send out SMS which is un-authorizated by myself .

those SMSs always sent at background that I can not noticed it and not find the recording in sent out log. It is stealthy.

Because I download some mediaplayer sofwares by internet, when I run the Application, it sent the specifically code to some number at background which means ordering some service,and will cost money.

I hope it can give the tooltips when the sms (which is not listed in allow list) auto sent at background and ask me to allow or block it.

I known there are many block tools for call and sms, but all of them block the incoming messages and calls ,not outcoming SMSs and calls.

Do you known whether there is the software? Please let me known.

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lleheaven:
I found that the SMS send is failure if changed the Number of SMS Center from system setting(e.g from +8613800210050 to +8613800880050 which is an invalid number.)

I don not know whether it would block all the SMSs (including the SMS sent by stealthily) after changing the number of SMS Center?

Anybody could advise ? Thanks!

When I slide out my wizard's keyboard, the touch screen doesn't react to any touching any longer.

Anyone know how this can be fixed? If I re-close the wizard, the screen is fine again.

Very strange!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] + Que PPC:
Yes xtrange!?

Its soo xtrange

does you upgrade your wizard... or got this issue since you own the device?

maybe a drop!!!!

We need every info you have done since it works to the stops time.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ktemkin:
Well, there's one of two explanations that seem most likely to me:

1) Your device, due to some software malfunction, no longer responds correctly to touch input while in landscape mode. To test this, with the wizard keyboard still away in the locked position, open the screen settings, located in the 'System' tab of the control panel. Select an orientation of 'Landscape (Left-Handed)'. Does the device interpret touches properly now? If not, we've found your problem. You can return to portrait (normal mode) by sliding the keyboard all the way out and then returning it to the locked position.

2) One of the ribbon cables, due to age, damage, shoddy manufacturing, etc., has become loose. This means that the force of your keyboard sliding out may push a few of the internal contacts into a position where they no longer make a good connection. If this is the case, your problem most likely can be resolved by opening the device and securing the touchscreen ribbon cable. There's a service manual floating around that can help you with this, if you're brave enough, but I don't suggest you try it until you've evaluated the possibility of a software problem.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Synced:
Haha nice. I never paid attention to notice that display screen. You were totally right. Swapping it to landscape via software, it is still working so it must be an internal cable.

Do you know if the same cable operates the 4 way arrow keys on the front face of the device? up/down works, but left/right does not, but this is all the time not just in landscape.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] konker:
Chances are the flex cable between the mainboard & the screen sub-assembly is faulty & needs to be replaced.

You can find them on eBay or buy a faulty unit off eBay & re-use the flex cable to fix your unit.

[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] ArcIsTheBest:
Hello, i wanted to unlock my xiaomi redmi 8's bootloader because i wanna install root on it. I completely understand the risks and im willing to unlock it. I don't care if it takes months for xiaomi to approve my mi account. So, when i tried logging in into mi unlock tool with my mi account, first thing i noticed is that its quite slow. Anyway i entered my details when i was at the account login page, and then a few seconds later the page turned white. At first i thought it was just simply loading however after i checked the logs, i see this message: WARNING: account loading error: -188. Ive done some research why it isnt working. They suggested that i should disable my antivirus and run the tool with administrator priviliges. However that didnt help either. Ive also noticed that after i clicked add account and device in mi unlock state, (i enabled mobile data and turned off wifi) it said my mi account had been added. However when i exit out of mi unlock state and go back it says to add my account again. I dont know if thats intentional or not. If somebody can help me i'd gladly appreciate it.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] fonzacus:
if youve failed unlocking it, your phone is still safely under guarantee, have no fear (IMHO)

i remembered ~2Y ago when i tried unlocking it i was also sent in a loop. i followed the usual guides and all and was also reverified on my phone and PC again. sometimes the mi server can be buggy, and we had to wait for a bit.

make sure your phones SIM 1 (in the middle) has both SMS and data kuota available, as thats how they verify your device and account. IIRC 1 SMS to their servers, and 1 verification data from network to your phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] ArcIsTheBest:
I haven't gotten to unlock my device yet. So far i'm at the logging in into mi unlock tool stage. And also yes, i have all of those things that you mentioned.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers] fonzacus:
yep it looks like youre stumped after waiting a day. for references, which guide are you following? does windows and ADB|fastboot detect your phone and driver?

usually an account is verified after a few days when creating a new xiaomi account, and 1 week after using the phone.

from what i remembered that most guides dont state is that my friend told me to locate my device first via i.mi.com first. after locating the device in normal system mode, follow the usual steps. as i said i too remembered how buggy mi unlock can be. hopefully others can also chime in.

my mi unlock tools an ancient 4.5.514.47, newer versions should be preferred for security|bugfixes, but im just saying i unlocked it with that version in case it might help.
