[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
I'm guessing you have a Chinese K20 Pro.

Your phone is now hard bricked and there is nothing you can do to fix it by yourself.

You can not lock a Chinese phone when installing a global ROM (also true the other way round).

The only way to fix the phone is by EDL flashing. This can only be done by someone with an authorised Xiaomi service account.

There are people who will flash your phone remotely, for a fee. The best place to ask is on the K20 Pro /Mi 9T Pro telegram group.

If you find someone, you will need to put the phone into EDL mode before they can flash it. This requires removing the back and bridging 2 pins near the battery. You should be able to find videos that show you how to do this.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Araskho:
thanks mate.

I will bring it to another shop then and see if they can do it.

I just switched from a TyTN and while it's charging I'm downloading my applications again and backing up my TyTN's PIM.

There's only one problem now: I'm a noob again!

I got used to the Hermes tool (went through 3 TyTNs) but now everything is different. I don't need to change carrier, but I don't want the Rogers ROM. I got the ROM but not the unlocker.

Can anyone point me to an unlocker for the Elfin? I used the search button but it's pretty confusing.

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] ff1992:
Hello everyone!

I am trying to root my ROG phone 5 pro (non Tencent version) and I am having trouble with extracting the boot image from the payload. I am running the payload dumper from a windows 10 computer and always get a bsdiff4 error. I tried uninstalling / reinstalling the python libraries, tried to run the payload dumper from a different computer, but nothing seems to work. I am quite annoyed since it is kind of frustrating... Could somebody please help me with a suggestion on how to fix this problem? I would really appreciate it!

Thank you!

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
For those that want to fix the error...

Make sure you have python and pip installed.

`cd` to the payload dumper directory

`pip install -r requirements.txt`

There is a rather common issue with having multiple instances of python and only one getting the bsdiff dependency. If you have an alias for python3 (ie. "python") and that is what you used to install pip, make sure you are running payload dumper with the same alias (ie. "python payload_dumper.py")

[OnePlus 9 Pro] rejectedjs:
Thread title, really.

I've missed immersive mode on my 7 Pro ever since I got my 9 Pro, there wasn't any time I would ever turn it off on my 7 Pro and it's why I'm keeping it on Android 10. But Android 11 lacks immersive mode so I can't use it on my 9 Pro. I fear burn in so I've had my status bar permanently hidden (set to 0px) and I just bring it down with a gesture when I need to view notifications.

But even though the status bar is 0px, all my apps still know the holepunch is there and push the content below the holepunch / make a black bar above the holepunch. Is there any setup that you guys know of that ignores the holepunch? Bonus points of its on a per-app basis. I know Samsung phones can use Good Lock to accomplish this, and it's crazy that a phone that doesn't even need root can accomplish this but I can't seem to find a solution for my phone with an unlocked bootloader lol.

But yeah, I really just want a way to force apps to ignore the holepunch. Anything?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] GolovaRaoul:
G-Visual mod!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] rejectedjs:
That's what I'm using to force my status bar to 0px. Unfortunately the whole ignore holepunch thing doesn't seem to work on OOS11. Unless you found some way?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] GolovaRaoul:
Did you enable this in Dev Settings? It appears when you are using G-Visual mod

View attachment 5445781
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ThePresence:
How do you force status bar to 0px?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] rejectedjs:
Yeah, but even after enabling, it only affects the status bar and no other app. Even in your screenshot, I can see your settings app pushed considerably below where your status bar is. Seems like a true immersive mode is just impossible on Android 11
[OnePlus 9 Pro] GolovaRaoul:
Oh sorry I misunderstood you, the G-Visual mod makes the app go full screen (with status bar) in portrait mode.

[General Questions and Answers] Gregbmil1:
I got the green light (from the wife😄) to order a new phone. A new phone from Verizon in the U.S. This will be my first time picking a phone depending if it can be rooted or not. Actually, if the Bootloader can be unlocked. I got lucky with my previous Samsung phones. The S8 got root but my Note 10 was able to have the Bootloader unlocked. I will not have a locked Bootloader if I have the option.

I was looking at the "Samsung S20 FE", "Pixel 6", or possibly the "Motorola Edge+". What do you guys think? Maybe something else? I will be making payments, so that limits my options.

Number 1 factor is Bootloader unlock, even if I need to pay to have it unlocked like I did with the Note 10.

Thanks Guys!
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
I go for either a Note 10+ or a N20Ultra, preferably running on Q. You can still find new ones, personally I went with another new N10+ Snapdragon running on Q, no plans to root it.

The new flagship phones aren't worth a rat's arse. Overpriced, no SD card slot, running on R and many have multiple issues.

Or simply wait. So far nothing good in the pipeline from Samsung. I'm not holding my either as I think it may be close to a year or longer until Samsung gets it together.

That I have 2 N10+'s is shows how much confidence I have in new Samsung's and Android OS's releases at this point. Zero. Expect more dropped balls from both.

Two things I notice is that my phone does have 4g lte, and the ATT variant S7(SM-G930A) will still work.

Is it possible to make my phone still work on their network by installing ATT variant firmware?

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Gambler_BE:
Hi all,

I know this is probably a vague question, but I'm hoping someone knows some fact about the hardware that I don't.

My earpiece speaker went bad a long time ago (there's sound, but it's very faint). I decided to take the leap, and repair it.

Went on ifixit, ordered used earpiece, installed it and... no sound at all? Nothing, nada, not even a faint like the og one.

Og one still works the same though: badly, but there's sound. So I ask them for a replacement, they send it... same issue?

At this point I think I must've broken something, so I try one last hail mary. I notice the bottom speaker connector is the same, so I attach

it to the connector up top and... it works perfectly!

I'm completely at a loss right now. Do you guys think it's possible both used speakers from ifixit were faulty? Or is there some kind of special trick to connecting them that doesn't apply to the bottom speaker? (I'm literally just plugging them in, nothing else.

Would love someone's input on this and extra trouble shooting ideas.

Thanks,

Hello, Community

I have a big problem and need your help. i have a Motorola Moto E7 Power (XT2097-6) MT 6762V/WB Mediatek Helio P22 and i was a idiot and format my phone in flashing process. The Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant Tool downloaded for me a newer Stock Rom SKU XT2097-16 version for my Smartphone and extra a SP Flashing Tool. That was the first problem by a official Company. btw.: I was a Noob and the company give me a powerful tool to destroy my phone.... --> The extra downloaded Flashing Tool was the problem and make me much problems! I started the Downloaded Sp Flashing Tool, Select the Downloaded Rom and select Formal all + Download because i want a clean install. That means I lost also my certificate, IMEI number and got a permanetly text print with "carrier invalid" as GUI on (left corner) Screen. Now I can't no more make phone calls or connect to the internet + find no Wlan because my certificate and IMEI are deleted! Everyone says that if you root you will lose your guarantee, but no one says that you will not be able to make phone calls or use the internet because the IMEI number will be deleted. First as Noob, i don't unterstood was IMEI is. Now i can feel the pain. The exaggerated security of the new hardware in Smartphones was completely new to me because my last smartphone was a Samsung GT-S5360, which could be rooted without any problems. Pls accept for now the official factory moto stock rom and wait. I could repair my Hard Brick Phone but not my IMEI number. I have learned. Do not flash with the Smartphone if no solution are available for your phone. Do not try everything! What can i now doing? 1. Contact my Shop Support, 2. Contact the Motorola/Lenovo Support or 3. go to a Mobil GSM Repair Shop to repair the IMEI with very much luck/hope the ability to repair the phone or 4. A useful free tool exist for my phone modell to fix this? Do I still have a guarantee? My Smartphone is not Rooted. The Lenovo Community is useless and give me no answers with my problem. What can i now doing? ...
[General Questions and Answers] mobnoob:
People just can't fix your horrible mistakes so they are useless?

And you blame Lenovo for offering a powerful tool while you don't know how to use it?

It's like you buy a gun and shoot in your foot and then you blame the manufacturer!

The first thing you need to do is learning basic formatting because it's not easy to read your long post.

Secondly, the IMEI is the most sensitive component of a phone and it's often abused on stolen phones by changing the board chip (for example) or by using "professional" flashing tools that you don't find on internet.

I don't think that people can help you unless you go to a very specialized phone technician who is willing to restore the IMEI at an affordable price which would still be higher than the price you paid for the phone!

I've decided instead of getting a new phone, I am going to keep this one for 2 more years.

When I bought it, I used the HTC Official WM5 and upgraded to the HTC Official WM6. The only tweak I used was the SDHC one so I can use a 4gb card.

I want to upgrade to WM6.1 but I don't need all the extras that come with a cooked rom so anything that is close to Official will be great as long as I can still use the +4gb SDHC memory cards.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] y_bother:
well i recomend you with the YuE extraclean.. (v10 or v11.3)

but 2 problems with your needs

1. i think it don't support SDHC so you need to do it by your self (don't know how cuz i use SD)

2.you have to flash it with SD card flashing since it's smaller than the usual ROMs..supposing you don't have an SD card.

if you did not like it look at the following

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Gwystyl:
I'd go for YuE Lite (not extraclean), because it's much faster than stock WM6.1 and not too much is stripped.

If a rom you want doesn't have SDHC support, you can use a cab for that. There's one around on the forum somewhere......

Completely computer code illiterate. Have some rudimentary knowledge of computer use ......but, .....that's about it.

Bought an LG V40 ThinQ, SKU: LMV405QA7 .AUSABK, in 2019 directly from the manufacturer. I never activated it, never used it. It's been sitting, brand new in the box, ever since. I didn't want to go the same route I did prior -- allowing all the outside control of my device -- facilitating all the snooping upon me, i.e. data collection of my private personal information ......and life.

I have spent the duration of time, since purchase of this phone, attempting to educate myself; as to, how to free myself of the surveilance on me by corporate America.

Unfortunately, I have since learned: the LG V40 was much more complicated to take control of, than other phones. Atleast, more than the general skill set of the layman would allow.

I am here seeking the knowledge and power of XDA's developers, to free myself, like so many others -- and protect what remain of my civil liberties, from the surveillance state.

Welcome to XDA.

If you're concerned about privacy I would unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM without Google services. It won't be perfect but a little less data will be transferred. Maybe something like a PinePhone would be better for privacy, or better yet an old time "dumbphone"...

You should be able to find most of the info you need in the LG V40 section of the forums. Check it out...

They use voice recognition algorithms so they can likely ID you by voice probably in real time.
