If Fastboot works, this means your phone is not bricked.

Just make sure your bootloader isn't relocked.

Then flash stock rom 12.5.1 using MiFlash, better than CMD command. You get to see errors in Miflash.

If it fails, then change USB port in your PC. ( USB ports on the back are recommended)

Good luck.

(i am a german) when i use the new mi flash then it says this:
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] laid1995:
I don't really know the exact fix for that.

Try using a newer/different version of MiFlash
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] michits:
this version works for me
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] laid1995:
I'd suggest using a newer version. That could work though. Still, I highly recommend newer version. For the safety of your phone.

Dude we don't speak German you would have to use Google translate to tell us what it says in English. What did you do to your Poco f3 that bricked it? Do you have an unlocked bootloader? Because it looks to me like 20 threads a day are created for this phone by people who aren't actually into development but just want help, which is fine but it's not what xda is for.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] LR7875:
Ok maybe make a "poco F3 bricked megathread" as to compress all threads into one?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] laid1995:
I haven't tried it dude. And I wouldn't. That could actually brick the phone. Older peograms may not agree with our A/B POCOF3 partitions.

Ok, first off i have to say, yes i have been googeling the question,

and using search in the forums.

Im going to state my problem,

First if i would like to use my computer (win XP pro) as a link to the diamond,

via the Wifi.

i set up my computer as a Ad-hoc and try to connect with my diamond, all goes quite well, i get "connected" in the wifi settings on the diamond,

but i cant connect to the internet with my diamond, and yes i use a cable too the computer from the modem..

so if anyone could help me with this i would appreciate it very much!

i just get timed out when i try to surf over the wifi.. and im poor to get a wireless router, as im a student in sweden (blaming the expensive alcohol):p

regards,

Filip from sweden

[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] Nerfpl:
Hello, i have memory problems on my phone. One app takes almost half of my memory.

Since it's in polish it's called "Pamięć telefonu i SMS-ów" which means "Phone and sms memory/data". It weights 27gb!!

I recently got new work phone (not Xiaomi, also A11) and initial memory used is 4,7gb only. It doesn't even have this app.

Can you help? Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] Nerfpl:
It's called com.android.providers.telephony, user data takes 27gb and there's no "delete user data" option. Only "delete cache memory" ( which have ~40kb)

Please help. I'm discussing this with polish Xiaomi support and they keep telling me to delete user data which I don't have option to do so...
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] Obi_Wlan:
Enable USB debugging on your phone.

Open up a terminal on your PC.

Type adb devices to check if your phone is detected.

Then type adb shell

Finally type pm clear com.android.providers.telephony

First of all:

I'm no Dev...just someone who likes to play lego.

From this point of view everything I post here is taken from somewhere else in the Internet and used by your own risk.

I've read a good startup here.

Hopefully this makes this thread clear enough so that i dont need to describe the whole procedure step by step.

(https://www.naldotech.com/root-samsung-galaxy-z-flip-3-5g-magisk/)

(1.OEM-Unlock,2.BL-Unlock,3.extract boot.img,4.patch boot.img via magisk on the unrooted mobile,5.patch boot.img.tar to AP&BL via Odin, 6.pray)

Anyways...here are maybe small hints to avoid a few traps.

a) Just do the oem-unlock in the dev-options (enabled by tapping buildnumber 5 times) is just half of the rent.

Afterwards i had to go in Download-mode (switch of mobile, press volUp+volDown and connect PC-cable.)

There appears a possibility of choice.

Press VolUp short: get the mobile on standby to flash the rom via odin.

Press VolUp LOONG: get the mobile to the menu where the bootloader can finally get unlocked. (Otherwhise every try to patch a rooted img will be blocked by bootloader-protection.)

Of course this can possibly be done via adb/fastboot commands.

Funny side note: OEM-Unlock-option will completely disappear from Dev-options and waranty is lost. Also the mobile stops to get Updates OTA which means that you have to update manually whenever a new version will appear in the net.

b) patching boot.img via magisk should work as described in many other magisk-rooting-manuals.

Flashing the tar back to the mobile via odin was little bit tricky.

It doesnt reach out just to provide the magisk_patched.tar to Odin just on the AB-line.

I had to patch it to BL too.

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
When you boot into bootloader after unlocking, is the message something about "a custom OS can cause critical problems"?

As it stands now, the only reason I have to believe the US bootloader can't be unlocked (or isn't already) was the lack of an OEM unlock button and some cranky kid on the internet saying it hasn't been possible since the S7.

It doesn't make sense why I would have a warning about a custom OS if there is no possible way to install one, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] MikGx:
@boot into bootloader after unlocking it...:

Yess you are right. Thats exactly the message.

Then you can enter the Device unlock mode again (long press VolUp) to lock bootloader again (then it resets automaticaly to factory-defaults and all work is gone.)

or

continue to flash something (short press VolUp).

Dont know about the US versions. Could be that there is a difference to my EU-models.

But either i rooted nearly every every mobile since the S2 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I think you misunderstood what I was asking, but ended up answering it anyway.

It seems the message about installing custom OS versions may be a boilerplate for the bootloader, not any indication that it's possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] luisnica98:
naldotech.com, the link you provide is pretty clear about the process. What it doesnt say is what to do at the end. When you untick "reboot" in odin, and you finish flashing, your phone will stay in download mode. Then what to do?. Press power and volume down to leave and restart the phone? or, power and volume down, screen goes black imediately power and volume up, enter recovery and restart from there.? please someone ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] beanbean50:
Press the power and volume down buttons for about 7 seconds and it will reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] luisnica98:
I did as you mention but it didnt work. It made me reset the system. But I Fallowed the naldotech.com guide. At the end, being in dawnload mode, I pressed power and volume down, when the screen got black I pressed power and volumen up, I entered recovery mod, cleared cache and re- started the system: Voila my phone is rooted

Hello.

Can someone pleas provide a working link for frija download? The one referring from naldotech seems to be broken (https://www.naldotech.com/download-samsung-galaxy-stock-firmware-frija-tool/)

Update: Found a link via google -> https://technastic.com/odin-download-samsung-latest-all-versions/
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] d0x360:
The USA version (snapdragon soc) can't be rooted as far as I know. There is no way to unlock the bootloader in dev options, at least on Verizon and that holds true even if you bought a unlocked phone. As soon as you insert a Verizon sim and the phone updates it's all over.

I had the same issue with the original Pixel. I bought it unlocked but before rooting it I allowed it to update like a fool. Luckily my son wanted the same phone so I gave him mine then rooted and installed TWRP before putting a Verizon sim in.

Back to Samsung...as far as I know you haven't been able to root the USA version since the note 8. The rest of the planet gets the Exynos SOC but we get the snapdragon and no root method works. My note 9, 10+ and z Flip3 didn't have an unlock bootloader option even before putting a sim in it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I have to be a little skeptical when my rooted Note 8 came out a year after the S7. There are other reasons, but they tend to make the trolls restless. We'll skip them.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] d0x360:
Ok I might be off by a year or 2 but I can say with 100% certainty that the note 9, 10, 10+ and flip3 don't have an unlock bootloader option.

I bought all 4 from Samsung all unlocked and not tied to any carrier. First boot with no sim I checked dev options and there was no option to unlock the bootloader. My note 9 might have had the option in the menu but it was grayed out and I couldn't find anyway to make it work.

A quick Google search for rooting the snapdragon version of any of these devices essentially says "NOPE".

The only way to root one is to buy a non US version. If it has a snapdragon soc you're out of luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
You got where I said "I guess the disclaimer is misleading" right?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] d0x360:
I didn't see that sentence in any of the posts but perhaps I just missed it.

It doesn't change anything either way. Anything is possible, even you somehow getting a device with this setting. That being said you also seem to be the only person ever to receive a USA device with said option.

It's hard to believe because it would mean the wrong firmware was installed (which makes no sense in itself) but with that firmware the device should have been a brick. The soc is completely different. It would be somewhat like trying to use Nvidia drivers on an AMD GPU... It just wouldn't work.

I dunno... I don't disbelieve you but I don't believe you either. It's just so far fetched for many reasons
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Lucky? I dunno. Had I known it would cause this much trolling, I wouldn't have bothered to mention it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] david.siebauer:
I have a general question. I am unfamiliar with rooting/unlocking bootloader on Samsung devices. Is it possible to revert unlocking the bootloader and going back to stock traceless?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] FFW:
Partially. I just did that: I have AfWall running on my old phone, tried to unlock the Flip with this manual here in order to use the firewall there, did something wrong - and stumbled upon Netguard while searching what might have happened and decided to give it a try first. (Unless there is a custom ROM for the phone available, I have no other need for root or an unlocked bootloader.)

From what I could find on my Flip 3, you can unlock and relock the bootloader as you like - but as soon as you install a non-genuine bootloader (i.e. one chnaged by Magisk) you will trip Knox - and this cannot be reverted.

In such a case you can still re-lock your bootloader and unlock it later (on my phone, that "7-day-no-switch-indeveloper-options" routine kicked in, but you can circumvent that) - but Knox will stay in its state. From what I read this means some things will not work such as Samsung Pay, but I do not know the details (yet) apart from that it does not bother me ;-), and the nag screen during boot is gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] david.siebauer:
Thanks for your reply. Kinda sucks. Never had problems with my former mobiles to get back totally to stock without traces. Guess I disregard rooting for now 😲
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] FFW:
Well, it's better than my Sony - there it is "once unlocked, always unlocked" with no way back at all :)

But I have to admit I understand the logic why the manufacturers do that, at least to the degree that they trip a fuse as Samsung does.

By rooting the phone, you shift the responsibility for the software state of the phone from the manufacturer to the user, so I think it is okay to implement something to make it clear to possible future buyers that it is or has been in that state.

(This does not include however all the other stones they put in the way of people wanting to develop or use custom ROMs!)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] david.siebauer:
I remember 😂 I also had a Xperia Z3 compact.

Main reason for me for rooting, is the ability to use tools like tasker without non root restrictions or just trying customs roms without bloat, but usefull features. Guess u shouldn't have bought a Samsung lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] FFW:
Oh, trust me - as soon as I hear there is a custom ROM that works as a daily driver I will root mine as well. I really hope that there will be one for this phone :cool:

Sadly there is no Fairphone mini or Fairphone Flip - or would it be Fairfliphone? ... Flipfairphone?... - yet (if ever), so the only current alternative would be Motorola. And the price tag for the Razr is simply too much, even if I personally think it looks better than the Samsung. Additionally, I do not know if they are in any way better when it comes to rooting or loading custom ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] david.siebauer:
For me it does not necessarily have to be a flip phone. Just f*** compact, but without hardware restriction. That's why I loved the Xperia Z3 Compact. Unfortunately there are no reasonable compact phones on the market right now in my opinion. The Z Flip 3 was the best compromise for me at the moment. Would love to see a Xiaomi compact phone 😂 but that's off topic.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] FFW:
This is *exactly* why I bought his phone :ROFLMAO:

I want something that works decently fast and reliably (which seems to exclude those otherwise nifty Cubot phones) and fits into my trouser front pocket without bothering me - which means for me that I don't care much about thickness, but 10..12cm total height would be nice and anything above 13cm is simply inacceptable.

That being said, the battery of my XZ1 compact is beginning to get unusable (sadly, as I must note - LOS on that phone is running really great and Flamefire is even planning to upgrade the XZ1 Compact LOS version to Android 12), and as good as that phone is - battery replacement is a royal pain for that one and something I would not dare to do as long as it is my main phone.

Hence the Flip :)

But back to topic here: could someone add a brief explanation on how he installed Magisk with some more explanations (e.g. phone freshly reset and just minimal setup made or with completed setup prior to letting Magisk do its task?

When I tried to install the rooted bootloader, my Flip ended in a bootloop and I had to reflash it with Odin.

My setup was:

no SIM installed

skipped what I could during setup

connected it to the PC

just uploaded Magisk and the boot.img extracted from the Frija image - the image had the same version as what was installed on the phone

let Magisk prepare the boot file

uploaded the changed bootloader with Odin as described above (at least I hope so...)

cursed and reset everything.

Since this is my first Samsung and my first attempt to root without TWRP I most probably have missed something. For now, I stay unrooted until I get more information on what might have happened, especially since the procedure described here differs a bit from what the manual for Magisk says (they use the complete AP file). But I feel I want to replace Netguard with my trusted AfWall+ and Wireguard always-on VPN to my PiHole sooner or later again.

Any directions or links to information are appreciated. I have to admit I feel a bit overwhelmed from the various ways rooting needs to be done on Samsung devices my search yielded until now...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] d0x360:
Soooo... You're still the only person to make this "work". Seems kinda strange. I've tried it on 3 snapdragon z Flip3's and your "method" hasn't done anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] FFW:
You might want to look closer - https://xdaforums.com/t/just-tweak-it-zflip3-debloat-root-plugins-battery.4356335/ . Admittedly, the process is described in greater detail there, but I don't think that justifies implying that it does not work at all.

Seems to me that Flip3 users are simply lazy when it comes to rooing at the moment. Since AFAIK there is no working custom ROM for the Flip3 available at the moment, the Flip3 is currently missing one of the main reasons for rooting. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] m3nt10n:
Hello, I rooted the phone, you can somehow remove these screens at startup:

Spoiler content hidden.

analogue up_param for Galaxy S20, S21
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] FFW:
AFAIK no. If I am not mistaken, these screens are generated by the phone firmware itself, so the only way to get rid of them is to get Samsung to remove them - good luck with that :)

Apart from that, at least the first of these screens fulfils a safety function. They tell the user (albeit in a very coloured way, both from the optics and from the content) that he ought to take care what he does. A rooted phone is like your computer at home - don't blindly do stupid things.

But why do you care? They pop up and disappear again by themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Darkeligos:
So no root on Unlocked devices? Booo

I read through the guide and it's more or less the same as what I've been trying for the past few weeks, but downloading the Magisk apk provided (app-release) made all the difference which flashes the AP file correctly without bootloop when flashing in odin.

Currently what Magisk version you're on? Kindly advice as I want to root it too...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] beanbean50:
Wifi & camera are working just fine as for rooting I did this...

Flashed the stock firmware, booted up and installed the experimental version of Magisk v1 from the link I posted above (there's 3 Magisk files in the download, choose 'app-release' version)

Then patched the whole AP file in the new Magisk and flashed that in Odin and it should boot up rooted, but remember to cancel any Magisk updates otherwise bootloop and it wiped my data along the way.

Edit:

there's an update to the alpha Magisk app ...

Hello there,

I'm by no means an expert with mobile phones, but was recently given a C600 and having done some research on the net managed to unlock the phone myself.

However, although the phone was working fine with an O2 prepay sim card for the past few weeks, it has now decided to have what can only be described as a 'fit' every time i try to use it. :confused:

Half the time the three colured screen comes up when i turn it on, which says tornado, and a series of numbers, and then when i can get the phone switched on properly, half the time some of the buttons refuse to work, and the other half the phone will decide to flip between the earpiece volume setting screen, the camera, and the voice command thingy, when all i am trying to do is to text my mate to see if he wants to go for a beer! :mad:

Needless to say i haven't had a beer for the last two days, and am a little annoyed about being constantly outwitted by a mobile phone, so i decided to come to the experts for help.

Thanks to anyone who can help me resolve this issue!! :)

[HTC Tornado] pabs1980:
didn't change the rom at all as i heard that the new one was no good, its as it came out of the factory...

however, the toggle button is now not responding at all as with many other c600s from what i can tell on the net, so i may have to install the new rom anyway and hope that solves the problem.

i have a feeling that i will have to go through the entire process of unlocking the phone again when i have installed the new rom also, i'm starting to wonder if it is worth it....but i do really like the phone so it would be a shame to give up

thanks a lot for the help, if anyone else can help please post...
