IT WILL ERASE ALL DATA ON YOUR PHONE​

AND KEEP YOUR BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED.​

YOUR WARRANTY WILL BE VOID AFTER IT.​

DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. DO IT CAREFULLY.​

(It won't erase your SD card, but I still recommend you remove SD card before it)​

Please read this thread carefully at least once before you modify your phone.​

This thread is in order to give your X01AD a new life when it hard bricked.

First, Prepare the things you need :

-A Computer

Windows (10 is better) Platform.

-QPST

Download the file below. QPST included QFIL.

-Firmware

Download from here(vnrom.net). (find version "15.2016.1902.159" under ZB633KL)

Or from here(mega.nz).

-Unofficial unlock tool

Download from here(other thread). (download unlock.zip)

Before you prepare things for entering DEL mode below, see note at bottom of this article first!

-A flat screwdriver or anything can pry the backcover of your phone.

Download from reality

-A slice of paper

It is for separate battery cable and port.

-A USB Cable that have good quality.

The better the better.

Second, install QPST and Qualcomm USB driver, and then reboot.

Third, launch QFIL, choose "Flat Build",click "Configuration">"FireHose Configuration"

View attachment 5355831

and set up like this:

DON'T SELECT "validated_..." ONE, IT WILL LET FLASH FAIL.

Click "Load XML...", select 'rawprogram_unsparse.xml' in first window, select 'patch0.xml' in second window.​

View attachment 5355705

DON'T CLOSE WINDOW!

Fourth, enter EDL mode, try note1 first.

pry the back-cover of your phone.

Be careful, don't hurt your hand or screen, look carefully.

Remove battery cable cover, remove battery cable, put the paper between cable and port.

Next, connect your phone and computer.

Fifth, click "Select Port...", select 'Qualcomm......Port', click "OK".

Your "Download" button should available now. Click it.

And your phone will reboot automatically after flash completed.

Finally, your phone will boot into stock android 8 .

And if you got RED error, reboot into fastboot, run unofficial unlock. It should be resolve after that.

Note:

1 If you want enter EDL mode, maybe you can press VolUp+VolDown+Powerkey when power is off,

screen will be blank after a few seconds, and screen will not display anything during EDL mode.

Connect phone and computer to see whether QFIL detected device, if yes, then you don't have to prepare other things, just go the Second step, and skip the Fourth step.

Long press Powerkey to exit EDL mode.

2 Serial number(string) will be erase, please follow this thread to recover that.

3 This thread might be helpful to RED STATE problem, but I hadn't tried it, so still use it at your own risk.

I tried but after rebooting I'm facing EIO warning after unlocking it did gone but I want to lock the Bootloader
[Asus Zenfone Max M2 Guides, News, & Discussion] dascrystal:
Is there blank screen after EIO warning?
[Asus Zenfone Max M2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techgaming432:
After EIO warning it goes to Asus splash screen then again EIO then again splash it loops

But

If i unlock the bootloader then the EIO state disappears
[Asus Zenfone Max M2 Guides, News, & Discussion] dascrystal:
Sorry, I still can't find a method that can relock the bootloader,

but I think if anyone have a locked or not unlocked X01AD,

we maybe can pull the file in it (boot, persist, dtbo, etc.), that maybe can help.

By the way, I want to learn how to port or create a device specific rom, if you know any tutorial resource, tell me please.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] bunkdo:
Hello,

The WiFi on the phone just stopped working ~2 months after a factory reset. It was simply running stock (Android 7.0 with all the Huawei crap) and was barely used, no SIM or anything. It still connects to the network, reporting an excellent connection and even exchanging a few bytes of data every so often, but trying to load anything up like a web page simply reports there isn't an internet connection. Every other device on the network works flawlessly.

I tried resetting network settings; then all settings; messing with DNS settings; connecting to a different band of the network; opening up the phone and checking the antenna... And that's where my surface knowledge stops. I'd wipe the cache partition (?) through the EMUI recovery (Vol Up + Power), but whoever designed the Huawei Recovery is......... As it requires an update before I can even do any basic functions on my phone and well, I can't update because I can't get WiFi to work.

I'm not keen on trying to unlock this device and load any ROMs or anything, I'd simply like to sort the WiFi issue out. But need be I could. Any and all help in troubleshooting this is welcome.

Cheers
[Raspberry Pi Accessories] TheRedReactor:
We have developed a robust, powerful and feature rich battery power supply board designed to fit underneath your Raspberry Pi (e.g. Zero, Model 3, Model 4 - all of the 40pin header models), which leaves the 40pin header on top of your Pi free for all the HATs and other connections that you may need for your projects. We designed this board as part of creating a portable internet radio and found that existing boards did not provide all the features we needed, or could not reliably supply enough current for the whole system.

As well as enabling your Pi projects to become portable, it provides software access to the battery voltage and current, as well as the ON button state, so you can detect short and long presses as well as safely shut down the device when needed. The ON button also provides the RUN/RESET function just in case your software really gets stuck - who says that doesn't happen?

View attachment 5355851

The circuit design ensures that the battery is not under load whilst being charged, allowing the charging cycle to complete accurately, whilst the board only consumes 10uA when off (compared to some designs with CPU's that consume many mA's monitoring the ON button!), ensuring maximum battery life. But at the same time, our extreme testing shows a super steady 5.1v output when delivering over 4 Amps, with 1 board driving a Pi4, display, USB hub with keyboard, mouse, webcam, and at the same time charging the battery of another board under a Pi3, also with a display and both running a heavy graphics test case.

Designed for easy integration with all your projects, we are in the pre-launch phase for our Kickstarter campaign at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pascal-h/the-red-reactor-when-power-really-matters, launching soon.

If you would like more information and register to be notified when the campaign goes live, please check out https://www.theredreactor.com for details, including pictures and a video of the extreme testing. If you register it really helps us ensure we set the right goals for launch. We'd love to get your support to achieve our goal so we can make this board available to everyone! Of course, feel free to ask questions too. Thank you!
[Raspberry Pi Accessories] TheRedReactor:
As part of our FAQ we answered a question about using the Red Reactor with a real time clock so you can completely shut down the Raspberry Pi system and then use a timed alarm to power everything back up again.

Not all projects need this feature of course, but if you're building something that only needs to wake up say once an hour, or once per day, then by shutting down completely, and with the fact that the Red Reactor only consumes a few micro-amps when OFF, you could potentially get many months of battery life for your monitoring applications.

Because our board provides easy access to the button interface, we decided to make a short video to show you how to make that work, which you can see at

It is worth mentioning that if you don't power the system OFF before an alarm, your software will receive the alarm interrupt in the same way as our example button interface software shows. So you can use the same setup for projects that stay active and need a timed action interrupt, for example to shut everything down after midnight. The second alarm register of the DS3132 device could wake it all up again too!

We hope you'll find the video interesting!
[Raspberry Pi Accessories] TheRedReactor:
There are some use cases where system up-time is critical, yet consume too much power to run for long periods on batteries. So whilst a high performance battery back-up power supply is essential to ensure an orderly shutdown when there is an external power outage, you may also want to restart everything as soon as the external power is restored.

Whilst the Red Reactor can easily support a Pi4 with accessories and cleanly switch to battery power, you can also use the Vin port and ON button interface to easily integrate additional functionality into your project. In a previous video we showed how to add an RTC alarm to manage timed power-on and power-off requirements.

We've now also created a short video at

This shows how to add a simple circuit to detect when external power is restored, which connects to the Vin port and operates alongside an ON button to create a trigger (even if you're using USB as the power input). A simple script (here running on the Pi4 with display, USB hub, mouse and keyboard) will detect a power outage over I2C and perform a safe shutdown, whilst the system is automatically rebooted when external power returns!
[Raspberry Pi Accessories] TheRedReactor:
Just wanted to give you a quick update on our progress. We were expecting our Kickstarter campaign https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pascal-h/the-red-reactor-when-power-really-matters to go live this week but unfortunately the world's shortage of ICs (as you've no doubt read about in the news) has affected one of the components on our board. We obviously don't want to present a delivery schedule that we cannot commit to, so we'll look at alternative suppliers and solutions first.

We'd be happy to hear if you know of suppliers' stock for this particular component (INA219AIDCNR/INA219BIDCNR) or had good results with comparable, alternative parts. We'll let you know how we get on!
[Raspberry Pi Accessories] TheRedReactor:
These days, everything is controlled by software. In fact, even my DVD player's ON/OFF button is no longer hard wired into the power supply, and needs its software to decide that I really wanted to turn the thing off. Well, many a time that software gets completely stuck, refuses to obey my command, and the only option is to pull the power plug at the back. Not a pretty sight with all the dust and cobwebs, I can tell you!

Now imagine this happening with your Raspberry Pi project, but when the mains is backed up by battery power you can no longer just 'pull the plug'. And when your Pi is inside a nice case design, getting those batteries out is not going to be a quick and easy task.

That is why the Red Reactor has a nifty Hard Reset function built into the ON button interface, so all you have to do is wire the RUN port of the Red Reactor to the RUN port on your Pi. So now, a long press of that ON button sorts it all out for you, and no need to pull the plug on that pesky software!

This short video shows you how the ON button and RESET functions are integrated together for all your projects, and I hope you'll find it useful!
[Raspberry Pi Accessories] TheRedReactor:
We’re pleased to announce the first release of our Red Reactor Battery Widget for the Raspberry Pi OS, so you can see the battery status right from your desktop screen! Perfect for when you use the Red Reactor to make your Pi project portable, or you just want to make sure all is well in case you loose mains power.

The battery icon will show you the percentage charge, and during charging and discharging you can also see the battery current and voltage in the tool-tip when you hover over the icon, as well as the estimated time to full charge or how long you can keep going till you run out of juice!

NEW features: We’ve just updated it to provide a pop-up warning at 10% capacity and a 30 second timer warning to an automatic shutdown when your battery reaches empty. Instructions to install or update are on our Github site.

The code is designed for use with the Red Reactor battery power supply, and is available from our Github repository. For more information about the battery charging and discharge profiling results head over to our blog at https://www.theredreactor.com/2022/01/23/launching-our-pi-battery-widget/

The Power of Standby

If you are thinking of creating a battery powered Raspberry Pi project, like remote monitoring with sensors, you might find our new article measuring standby performance useful. If you want to save power by turning your device OFF between readings, battery drain in the power supply itself can have a real impact on total days of battery life.

We created a simple moisture monitoring example and measured the battery voltage each time the Pi Zero was powered up by an RTC alarm, and whereas a competitor battery power supply barely managed to run for 2 weeks, the Red Reactor showed that it would keep working for months. That could save you a lot of hassle with sensors in hard to reach places!

The article and measurement results can be found at The RedReactor - Power of Standby.

Thank you for continuing to track our progress (and for reading this far down this thread!). The world chip supply shortage is still causing a problem for us, but we are hopeful that we can launch soon as things are slowly improving.

In the meantime, we have developed a Flask based web application that will enable you to monitor your battery status and usage remotely via a web browser, configure the monitoring process and even perform a remote reboot or shutdown. Perfect for when your Pi is used remotely or running without a display!

View attachment 5581757

For more details please head over to our news update on Remote Monitoring , and you can download the code with install instructions from our GitHub page at https://github.com/Scally-H/RedReactor .

*** UPDATE *** We added the output from vcgencmd into the status report, so you can see if/when the CPU/GPU is affected by temperature throttling etc. A handy tool tip explains the result values when you hover over the value. We hope it gives you enough example code to extend it for your own projects with the Red Reactor!
[Raspberry Pi Accessories] TheRedReactor:
Just a quick update to tell you about our Power of Standby experiment, which we documented on https://www.theredreactor.com/2022/03/05/the-power-of-standby/

We had a Raspberry Pi Zero powered by the Red Reactor using 2x 3000mAh batteries, set up with an RTC alarm to boot up every 4 hours to take a moisture sensor reading, email it out and turn itself completely off again. With these measurements we could show the benefit of the Red Reactor's ultra-low standby current (few uA) for sensor applications, and our setup was able to take 481 separate readings (it took 6 readings per day) before finally signing off from duty today.

So, if you just needed 1 reading per day, we've shown that it could run for well over 1 year on batteries. It’s funny, I kinda got to like seeing emails from my Pi every day…
