I have a problem in flashing vivo y1s.It boot loops.I didn't enable developer options or OEM stuffs.When trying to flash stock rom in it,there's an error on sp flash tool while flashing certain images that i download signed image or to unlock boot loader.Is there anyway to bring this mobile back to life?It can boot into recovery and fastboot though.Any assistance or help would be highly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] :
The door to phone's Android's files / directories is ADB ( what requires USB Debugging got enabled on phone ).

The door to phone's bootloader is FASTBOOT ( what requires OEM Unlock got enabled on phone ).

If neither USB Debugging nor OEM Unlock got ever enabled then you've lost, IMO.

My recommendation: Take phone to authorized service center and let them try to fix it.
[General Questions and Answers] ian aura:
Ok thanks
[General Questions and Answers] ian aura:
Hey please! So you mean there is no way of flashing stock rom in vivo y1s? or must it be enabled oem unlock or usb debbuging in developer options?

If i remove my sim card and do a factory reset and insert another country's sim card will my phone csc changed to that country's csc? Because by flashing with odin it doesn't change the CSC
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] carlitobahsoun:
yes
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] galaxy16:
I don't have to flash with odin right? Just remove my simcard and format and insert the new simcard?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] carlitobahsoun:
yes , than csc detected via ur sim card
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] PlutoDelic:
Eeeerm, to my knowledge, this hasnt worked since the introduction of Android 10.

I bought a Vietnam phone csc, and it did not switch to my sim csc.

This method, and the dialer code one are gone.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] emirefek:
No it won't. You need to get Samkey account. I also did it with Samkey. Bought phone from another country and change it to mine. I have spare account with credit in it if you are interested.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] galaxy16:
Pm on how much for the account/credit?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] carlitobahsoun:
that way if u wana keep ur current sim card .

he want to use another sim card like for example :

if u are living in india and use indian sim card than u cant change csc and will detect indian sim card csc.

if u are living in india and u use german sim card than ur csc changed to DBT and receive OTA from germany .

WE CANT CHANGE CSC IF WE USE SAME SIM CARD FROM THE REGION WE LIVING.

ONLY VIA SAMKEY THAT NOT ALLOWED AFTER AUGUST PATCH FOR S21 ULTRA.

HOPE I HELP
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] galaxy16:
So eventho i remove my sim and format and insert the other country sim the csc won't change too

I'm from Brunei my current csc is Singapore XSP and they release firmware very slow. I wanna change to XME which is malaysia and i have an malaysia sim card with me. I just need the phone to be in XME to receive software updates faster. By formatting and backing up again will take kinda lot of work. Just need a confirmation if i put that malaysia sim card after a factory reset will it change from XSP to XME..
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] PlutoDelic:
As i said, that didn't even work for me on my Note 9 with Android 10, apparently it worked up to Android 9, but i am not sure about that either.

If i recall correctly, the only time when someone can change the CSC is within a country from Branded (Vodafone i.e.,) to Unbranded, and yet again i am not sure.

I know for a fact that you cannot just CHANGE THE CSC anymore. Not with SIM, not with Odin and not with the dialer codes. If you are on January/February firmware, i think you can still use the dialer code, but you cannot downgrade anymore due to the bootloader incrementation.

Currently your only bet is SamKey, i used it like the other user did too. It's a highly unfair method from a dev that sought the opportunity to make some money. And you need to be on May firmware for that, but luckily you can downgrade as May uses the same bootloader as the latest October build, and that may change very soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] galaxy16:
Thank you for the clear clarification.. i shall save my time and data for not doing something that is not going to work. However i have never used samkey before and will need to find ppl selling the credits right
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] PlutoDelic:
@emirefek offered you something above. For changing CSC with SamKey, you actually need just 1 credit. The dev does not sell anything under 45 if i recall correctly. On ebay however, people resell 15 of them in one package. It's infuriating but hey, it's the only solution out there.

I did mine from a friend, where he made me share my USB port over the internet. Forgot the damn name of the app but it was mindblowing that something like that exists.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amoyan:
No to l

Simple answer. No. But XSP and XME are in the same multi-csc group OXM so you can change by doing the dialer thing. If you look at your software information you will see this line.

XSP/XSP,XSP/XSP/xxx

There 4 csc for phones from XSP. If your phone is directly from samsung ... its xsp but the opetators' phones have different csc.

Xxx will change according to the SIM. But I am not sure if it will allow your phone to OTA according to xxx. I suspect even if you xhange csc this line will be

XSP/XSP,XSP/XME/xxx

The easiest way is to download releases for CSC DBT and odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] galaxy16:
Correct at the moment is XSP/XSP,XSP/XSP/XSP

You mean download DBT csc firmware to flash? Will it affect ota updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amoyan:
No. But DBT will have monthly updates so DBT will always be ahead of XSP so XSP OTA will be older than DBT.

So if your phone is following dbt releases, you will never ota... with xsp.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] galaxy16:
Sorry but confused.. if i flashed dbt firmware i will not get ota?

Previously i have tried downloading xme firmware but the software provider part still shows all xsp except security patched was updated.. previously on june updates
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amoyan:
You will still get ota. If xsp ota is newer than what is in the phone. But if you keep flashing dbt, the xsp ota is never newer so ota not necessary

Flashing will not change csc
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] galaxy16:
I wouldn't not want to always download a full rom 7.5gb monthly to manual flash the update.. ota is still preferred. Seems like only choice is to wait or change csc with samkey now
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amoyan:
I am not sure Samkey really does that. ;) be careful ...

All this is related to security , e.g. samsung pay, stolen phone etc so its not so easy..
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] galaxy16:
Yeah I'm not going to use samkey.. thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amoyan:
If you really want to try XME, do this on your phone. Select XME, then install. Backup before doing this. All data cleared
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] galaxy16:
How do i go to that page?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] carlitobahsoun:
not all service region allowed
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] galaxy16:
I'm able to flash and change csc to XID at the moment.. csc confirmed now is XID not XSP anymore more
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dubblecup:
Hey. I'm going through the same. Can't change my CSC to ATT which has the B17 frequency enabled. My country uses that as its LTE band. Are you still willing to share the credit?Or sell for that matter?I tried flashing fw but nothing changes. Phone is slow etc. Lemme know please. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bajk10:
I had to downgrade to May firmware for SamKey to work. August or September patch didnt work.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] gpap2004:
That didn't work to my s21 ultra EUR CSC. It needs to change via SamKey

It worked only to my galaxy note 10.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] gambit1091:
Sir can you help me changing my CSC? I've flashed my phone with XID and now I can't go back to my original CSC. The phone auto activates XXV.

[P3400 General] dheerajk27:
I have a weired problem. I recently purchased a Toshiba 4GB SDHC (SD) card for my P3400i. When I access any application, which is installed in the SD card and requires an internet connection to function (such as Opera, Profimail etc.), it initializes the connections and then hangs the system. Only a soft-reset is the option left, after that. When I was using a 1 GB card, had never faced this issue.

Whereas, all the other applications such as games or any other, functions fine. The only problem is when an internet connection is required.

Anybody faced a similar issue? Please suggest a solution.
[P3400 General] coolaj:
Has this problem been solved,...

I have a similar kind of problem with my p3400i gene. using a 2GB SD card for 6 months but for sometime now it hangs while connecting to internet or downloading someting on it.

Thanks

Try and format your new memory card i use 2gb from 6 months has no probs. Note:- use yr pc or laptop to format memory card via a card reader......regards GAURAV....

[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] CristianLN:
Last Friday (24.09.2021) I changed my phone's battery. I cleaned my phone, somehow some alchool entered in the charging port then I plugged it in like an idiot. Luckly nothing else broke except the charging port so I ordered a new one. The phone was working fine at the time and I could have used it normally, just no charging.

Today I finally got it, switched it, tried to turn it on and it wasn't turning on. I put it to charge, expecting my battery to be just empty, and I see the red LED blinking and the screen wasn't turning on at all. At first I thought that it was just a faulty battery and I tried my old one, same results. I had an old P9 lite lying around so I decided to test my battery and it worked.

I'm worried that somehow I broke it even further and I won't be able to retrive my photos and important files back. Is there any way to fix it?
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Have you tried it with old charging port?
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] CristianLN:
Yup. It didn't work.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Probably HW issue (emmc memory dead, damaged motherboard etc.)

I think the only way to save your data is to extract the data from the emmc module and install it on a new motherboard (maybe I'm wrong, I'm not an expert). Ask the service center. But complete motherboard replacement is too expensive if you don't have a phone warranty...
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] CristianLN:
Ouch. Well thank you for spending your time helping me.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
No problem.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] apt2k2:
Hi. It might be very very late, it's been one year since you posted this. But the exact same thing happened to me. Turns out you simply just need to force enter recovery, charge it a bit, maybe 5 minutes or so, then reboot.

Here's how I did that:

Back cover open.

Unplug battery.

[Be careful of static electricity]

Plug charger. The phone turns on.

Wait until it enters recovery mode.

Plug battery. Yes, in the phone on, recovery mode state.

Wait around 5 minutes.

Reboot.

If you can enter the main screen, wait a bit to see whether the battery is charging or not (the percentage goes up). If it's charging, then you can put everything back again.

If the phone stays dead when you plugged it with the battery unplugged, then maybe it's another hardware issue..
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] CristianLN:
Thanks for replying, but unfortunately the problem still remains even after trying that. The furthest I could get is into recovery mode.

Bought a new phone a long time ago anyways, so it's no longer needed.

[Touch HD General] Candy-men:
Hi Folks,

i´ve just ordered my Touch HD, and i hope it will come to me before Santa (end of November i guess).

My question is: what can be seen on the homescreen of the HD? Today i use my good old friend, the wizard100. On the Todayscreen i have full Battery and Storage information, Weatherforecast for 4 Days, and calendar appointments showing up to 3 days. Also a today-link for tomtom. Is TF3D able to show this too? I need to see all these things on just one quick view. How customizable is TF3D?
[Touch HD General] overlocker:
Of coz u can.

Just install the softwares.
[Touch HD General] nin2thevoid:
Which softwares in particular are you referring to?
[Touch HD General] Candy-men:
My question was how many things is TF3D able to do without any external software. On my Wizard 100 i´ve installed following software: SPB Weather, SBSH Phoneweaver, SPB Time, Calendar+ , DeviceLock, Battrey Status nad TomTom. Except Tomtom i hope that TF3D could show me things like weather,Appointments and other things without installing other software. I like to use the HTC Homescreen, but i dont know how many information it is able to show?
[Touch HD General] nin2thevoid:
Afaik it has the same home screen as the Diamond but probably with a little more info because of the added screen height. The diamond home screen shows clock, missed call status and first next calendar item.
[Touch HD General] Candy-men:
And this is what i wanted to know: Do you think the HD would show more informations than the normal TF3D from f.e. the Diamond? This must be an complete different TF3D, or not?
[Touch HD General] nin2thevoid:
It's not completely different, it is in fact rather similar. It has the same tabs bar the stock tab, and most tabs just show a little more info to complement to extra screen height. Also, it has very nice transitions between FLO/programs, much like the iPhone zoom effect.

Same trick is applied on the HD to make it 'feel' more slick and responsive.

Anyway, if you look at the French video on YouTube you will catch a glimpse of many of the tabs, including the home tab. It shows exactly the same stuff as on the Diamond, except I am guessing it will show more upcoming calendar events in the bottom.
[Touch HD General] CWKJ:
You have a choice between TouchFlo3D or the normal Windows Mobile that you used to.

What you have on it will depend what Apps you like, its like your old PDA / PDA Phone. In other words, almost anything.
[Touch HD General] Raziel1:
If you are just talking about the homescreen itself, than you get to see the same thing like on the touch diamond but when you scroll down, the list will be much longer so you can see more appointments. which is a good thing

oh and in the case you didn't know:

there is also a new "customize tabs: rearrange and remove tabs" setting !!

Disclaimer: NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKED DEVICES

YOUR DEVICE MUST HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER FOR THIS TO WORK

My first tutorial, gonna keep this short and sweet

1. Go to settings > About Phone > check your version number (eg 10.5.9 for mine)

2. Go to this thread and download the global zip with the corresponding number https://xdaforums.com/t/oneplus-nord-n100-rom-ota-oxygenos-repo-of-oxygenos-builds.4253501/

3. Use payload dumper to extract the payload.bin file in the zip (you don't have to extract the whole thing, I killed mine when I got my boot.img file)

4. Install Magisk on your device and patch the just extracted boot.img

5. Copy patched boot.img to your computer

6. Reboot into bootloader, run this command and NOTHING ELSE

fastboot boot <location of patched boot.img>

7. Now your device should be booted into a rooted state and if your wifi or cellular doesn't work, have no fear. This is only temporary and we need root for the next few steps

8. Install Partitions Backup https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/wanam/partitions-backup/partitions-backup-2-3-0-release/

9. Use that to dump boot.img from both slots to your device

10. Use Magisk to patch both boot.img files just dumped from Partitions Backup

11. Copy all dumped and patched boot.img files to your computer

12. Reboot into bootloader and fastboot boot into your newly patched boot.img files

13. If everything works, reboot back into the bootloader and flash the working patched boot.img files to both slots

14. Profit and enjoy! Tested and working on 10.5.9 for my N100, not yet tested on Android 11, do so at your own risk!

Leave a thanks if this helped you, this is for folks like me who couldn't find a backup of their OS build on the internet and needed a temp way to root their carrier devices

[OnePlus Nord N100 Guides, News, & Discussion] bouyakasha:
I've tested this method on BE2012 / 11.0.1.BE82CB and unfortunately the global rom's boot.img bricks the device - it won't get past the T-Mobile loading screen.

I'm going to try to restore via MSM and try it with 10.5.8.BE82CB now.

Unfortunately, I can't even get into EDL mode. So this brick might be permanent. I'm asking for help from the community here: https://xdaforums.com/t/nord-n100-edl-mode-dead-gone.4341305/
[OnePlus Nord N100 Guides, News, & Discussion] luridphantom:
youre not supposed to flash the global rom boot.img but boot from it, thats why it relies on a temp root. and the versions have to be exactly the same or you'll brick the device

what version was your old device on? good luck unbricking it though, hope you get another shot at it
[OnePlus Nord N100 Guides, News, & Discussion] bouyakasha:
You're right about the flash, my mistake. Sigh.

Versions need to be exactly the same anytime you're rooting with a boot image.

This is version I was attempting to root: 11.0.1.BE82CB
[OnePlus Nord N100 Guides, News, & Discussion] luridphantom:
yea if you had booted from a magisk rooted 11.0.1 global boot.img and followed the rest of the steps you wouldve been ok because as soon as you reboot you lose root and boot from your original boot partition again

the number 1 rule of rooting with fastboot is always boot from it and test it before flashing it. other users were warning about wifi/cell failures so i played it safe and am still fine
[OnePlus Nord N100 Guides, News, & Discussion] bouyakasha:
I just tried this method with N200. 11.0.2.0 is the latest good rooted boot.img I have, but 11.0.3.0 is latest update and there's no MSM.

Anyway booting to 11.0.3.0 using the 11.0.2.0 rooted boot.img works great! Still, I tried this method and when I extract the BootA and BootB partitions and try to flash them with Magisk, Magisk tells me it's an unsupported file. This is true when I try it as tar.gz (that's how it comes from Partitions Backup) and if I rename it to *.img - either way I can't get Magisk to want to flash it. Any ideas?

In the meantime, using the 11.0.2.0 rooted boot image seems to work fine with 11.0.3.0. So, maybe I can just go with it?

Anyway this is an awesome guide and I learned a lot from it. HUGE THANK YOU.
[OnePlus Nord N100 Guides, News, & Discussion] luridphantom:
partitions backup compresses the dump so you cant just simply rename it. think theres an option to dump it uncompressed so you can pass it on to magisk. the other way is to untar it then pass it to magisk

i'd just experiment a bit more as long as you remember to use fastboot boot until you get the config you want then you can flash it
[OnePlus Nord N100 Guides, News, & Discussion] bouyakasha:
Oh, thank you! That makes sense. I will try to UN-Tar it :)
[OnePlus Nord N100 Guides, News, & Discussion] bouyakasha:

[OnePlus Nord N100 Guides, News, & Discussion] onlycash:
I tried several times and it's not working for me.

Everything appears to be fine till I try to "fastboot boot patched.img".

I'm trying to do this on an Metro N100 which is on 11.0.1BE82CF

I downloaded the global: 11.0.1: OnePlusN100Oxygen_14.O.21_GLO_0210_2107241056 MD5: a895312987628f21d0232d44575d0742

I extracted the payload and dumped the boot.img

I patched it in Magisk

I successfully "fastboot boot" that patched file but then it just hangs at the at the Metro boot screen.

I waited a minute or two but it didn't move past that screen, should I have waited longer?

In any event, I could hold down the power key and reboot into the unrooted stock 11.01 without issue.

Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

Dude your phone is an anomaly 😅😅 Another dude in the TWRP post has had some success on his BE2015🤷‍♂️

I'm baffled.
[OnePlus Nord N100 Guides, News, & Discussion] onlycash:
Interesting...

I went and read tabuRebel post and I'm not sure what he did. What I'm unsure about is if he flashed TWRP or just fastbooted it and I think he rooted 10.5, not 11.01 but that's not totally clear either. Did he ever get TWRP to flash a zip or did he use a prepatched boot.img? Lots of what he did and how it ended up are very unclear to me.

Even the posts in this thread are not always clear to me. Did they fastboot a global patched img that matched or didn't match their installed ROM?

For example did bouyakasha above used an 11.02 img to temp root his 11.03? Maybe I'm just misunderstanding what he posted.

The ambiguity in the posts can make being sure what others had success with a bit difficult to discern.

I really don't think my phone is different than any other. I think how others were successful is not as cut and dry as it may seem.

Maybe I need to update to 11.03 first.

you might also want to disable dm-verity by flashing an empty vbmeta image which you can find in other threads on xda

if you can get twrp for android 11, it's better to boot that and patch your boot image than to flash it
