[Oppo Realme 3 Questions & Answers] Ank Sak:
Ok searched through the net till now && will further search for it, it's hard bcoz no will share.. I will not lose any hope, ...

anyhow I found out about my other device, the Thai guys r using test point mode to unlock screen code & flashing rom , bcoz fastboot is absent. It's pretty simple , u have to just ground the test point using tweezers. @SubwayChamp can I do this at home?? I will be able to downgrade by flashing stock rom, even install d level filter & use mtk-GUI , maybe I will be able to unlock bootloader , bcoz I have seen in YT videos that the Thai people r using bypass tool before flashing stock firmware, I would even unlock BOOTLOADER!!!!! ( bcoz there is option in developer options --> OEM unlock ) ...

I am very much lured by this test point thing bcoz it's doable & it will open the world of development ( I could try flashing twrp )

bcoz of no faatboot mode & no bootloader unlock done for this device till now (2017-2023) , I could be the first ...

should I go forward bcoz I don't wanna mess up the motherboard ++ it's doable...
[Oppo Realme 3 Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
I try to help a lot of users about these regards, that sincerely, I don't remember exactly, in which point you're actually.

If you wonder about mtk client is able to unlock bootloader, no doubts, it can do it without efforts, I did it in a more advanced device (Realme 7) a lot of times, you can go further flashing any ROM you want, TWRP and so.

In Realme devices, fastboot has a different way to be reached, in comparison with all the devices out there, many people are confused about that, the mode that is required to unlock bootloader is a different stage than the normal fastboot for users to interact with.

Still not clear why would be necessary the test point method, opening back cover and more, while device can go perfectly fine to MediaTek Preloader mode, and through it, can be flashed.
[Oppo Realme 3 Questions & Answers] Ank Sak:
I should write things correctly!.

The first para is limited to realme device .

From the second para I wrote about second device , ie , OPPO. it's fastboot is unavailable or locked. Was released in 2017,, still no development for this device till now , becoz of iys really hard for normal users to unlock OEM using straightforward fastboot & adb commands.

&& Nothing is available for this right away, whatever is available is fake websites giving generalised work method for complete OPPO family.

then one day I stumble upon something related to this device in Thai language on YouTube. The repair guy used SP flash tool , but first he opened motherboard, grounded the test point , then used bypass tool, then flash tool.

Company default tool doesn't work as it requires login password, bought only by payment.

For development purposes it's unreliable && costly way. That maybe the reason for absolutely no development for this device . XDA has nothing for this device. So, grounding test point may open the doors for development. THATS the only reason I asked you should i go forward & do it, there's no straightforward way , but yes I am optimistic this could work, but I don't want making my motherboard dead in the process.
[Oppo Realme 3 Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
You don´t need to open the back cover or test point, since, all MTK devices has default access to download mode. In the papers, mtk-client must work for you, too.
[Oppo Realme 3 Questions & Answers] Ank Sak:
No development is available for this on XDA or anywhere for the OPPO one that I have , means that it's been impossible to deal with it , so opening back of motherboard is the only way (I think) && I hope mtk client will work for it after grounding test point since OEM unblocking is available in Developer Options.
[Oppo Realme 3 Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
There are many, even, unlisted/unconfirmed devices that can work with mtk-client, apart from development, it uses an exploit based on the chipset, no need dedicated/specific attention for this amazing tool.

About development, well, I guess is not because it has or not a way to unlock bootloader, but there must be other things, that globally don´t add more attraction for this device, there are many devices that have no development at all.

Said that, you can search thoroughly, if there are some cross development, or atleast compatible, based on the chipset, it may share same, or similar specs than other Realme device/s, this happens with the Realme 7, that I owned, there are 4 or more devices that share the mt6785 chipset, development runs under RM6785 code, search for RM+number of chipset (just in case)

If there´s nothing, then your best bet would be some GSI, there are many that could support your device.

And also, you can search in the Russian site, I can´t link here.
[Oppo Realme 3 Questions & Answers] Ank Sak:
Yes I have seen the Russian link when I was working on realme ,

Now my other device oppo one has a cousin too , similar chipset , shares same problem && no development,

I have asked some blokes to use test point , I will wait for some time if someone manages to do it , otherwise I have to do it ,

or ask the authorised customer care how to do it 😉, they r friendly...

I have an insane idea too , maybe I should search oppo developers & ask them..

&& GSI installation needs fastboot, which is locked or unavailable.. so , there's an app dsu sideload ... let's see ...
[Oppo Realme 3 Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
Again, you don´t need to use test point, just search for the forums that explain how to bypass DA/SLAA authentication, and proceed with mtk-client, it worths it, to try, with a simple command, this tool can unlock bootloader of various model.

Sorry, if I totally, misunderstood this, and your device, is a Qualcomm powered, then the things are different, but if it is a MediaTek powered, then you, probably, can achieve it easily.

As per the bootloader mode, the method to reboot to fastboot is not well known, across the net, and it is as follows:

- Connect your device to the PC

- Check that ADB works fine, and do, adb devices

- If your device is recognized, then do, adb reboot bootloader.

- Exactly, when your device is power off, to go to fastboot mode, then release the cable from the phone, and connect it again, quickly., the fastboot mode (not the bootloader mode) looks the same as the recovery mode, with the same functionalities, except the ADB/fastboot commands

Anyway, all that said, only, when you unlock the bootloader, can have the fastboot mode useful. But if it is a MediaTek device, you can use mtk-client to flash anything you want.
[Oppo Realme 3 Questions & Answers] Ank Sak:
Did try all u said, sadly it didn't work. There were other people who also said fastboot mode looked just like recovery mode , && it also took fastboot commands inspite of looking like recovery mode , tried that , no use.

I think only way is test mode grounding for this reluctant OPPO.

Now, for other device Realme I found out that flashing nvram nvdata doesn't do much , I flashed them from a backup Dump file found on net someone created, they didn't change Bluetooth, wifi mac , or imei address. What I did was I compared the contents of flashed img files and of dump files & they were a match , ofcourse, ...

But they contained info like phone SN , & much more like imei , they didn't change my devices SN or write imei or Bluetooth address etc. ,,,

One video showed that u have to use Format All + Download +++ nvram img (after tinkering scatter file ) to write all the data, that may be the reason that img files written r having no effect when simply written, format all+ download must be used acc. To that video...

Nvdata is opened both in Android & windows ; but , nvram (supposedly ext 4 format ) is unable to open both in Android & windows , I even tried yaffs extracter , how to open nvram ???

Tried Linux reader / disk internals & yaffs extracter..

Can I edit NVRAM to fix imei null problem?? Some blokes r doing it on older phones ( or maybe I m mistaken of what I saw )
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NutsyUK:
When I left Orange i was at least offerd a free Touch Diamond and an Okay 35 quid a month connection with there so called unlimited data package...

But yesterday we moved my mums phone...

The retentions guy basically wanted us to pay 40 quid a month for the contract. And wanted us to pay 150 quid for the phone...

Oh and Unlimited is now 250mb FUP... And he was even being very dodgy as im sure it was 500mb... he simply said "it depends on who you talk to"

I was a bit WTF by his attitude.

His attitude was not friendly by any means if anything it was aggressive insulting and uncaring.

I just found it really odd also that one week i get offerd a free phone a couple of weeks later they want 150 quid for it. Even with the contract. As if being a returning customer means nothing to them...

Anyone else had really bad experiences with them?

Oh and on that day we went to a Tmobile shop and got my mum a Compact IV :) Just waiting for the pack code to arrive to transfer the number.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] EazyDude:
In my experience;

Never take the first offer. Take note of all they have to offer, look at other prociders' contracts and then call back. You can usually negotiate something.

Always make sure you get through to Retensions, not Upgrades. Same handset, same contracts, different prices.

Prices do depends on how many 'credits' you rack up during the contract. If you pay minimum line rental and never go over minutes, you don't get much leverage on new phones/contracts.

Personally, I've always gone for 12 month contracts as I can't stand the thought of having one phone for more than a year!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Captain Jean Luc Picard:
I was on Orange, switched to O2, got the £35/month deal.

No more callers getting put through to my voicemail instead of my phone!

:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] levellerbob:
No need to go through Orange to do an upgrade, just visit one of the third party providers (car phone warehouse, Phones4U etc.) and they will upgrade you with a better deal than Orange will offer direct.

I got a free Diamond on my existing Dolphin £25 contract. Just walked into Phones4U and they offered to upgrade with no additional cost. In less than half an hour I had a new phone without having to change contract or number.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
Orange!!

I was on contract with Orange for 10 years.... and when I told them I was leaving 'cos £8 a month was ridiculous for 30MB of data, some guy in an Indian call centre just said OK... 'OK'!!! TEN YEARS!

I've moved to vodafone... £30 a month, free Touch Diamond, 250 mins anytime, 150 texts, 500MB data... and polite call centre staff I can actually understand and who know what they're talking about!

I wouldn't touch Orange again if they offered me for free, every new device HTC release in the future! Good bye forever :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] EazyDude:
I switched my voicemail off years ago. Mainly because of a stalker mind you... :eek:

I've kept it off ever since.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jonfun:
I oredred my Diamond with Orange by phone @ 9:30 at night.....

Phone was free, I got a car charger, loyalty bonus discounts....(600mins, Unltd txts, unltd Internet...well 250mb) = £22.50 a month : 18mnths

Chuffed

:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mancsoulja:
Im on orange with my diamond i pay £40 quid a month and only get 150 mb of internet :eek: so i got my fone unlocked and im on vodafone pay as u go now (even tho i cnt get on the vodafone live homepage) :confused: :D

[Samsung Galaxy J6 Questions & Answers] Thing0l79:
Hi to all the XDA community,

It looks like that I am a new member but I have been for several year on XDA (but I lost all the log in details). :P

The problems I am facing is with a Samsung J6 that my mother in law gave me because one morning didn't show anything on the screen. These are the steps I did:

1. Screen is black, first thought lets charge it. I kept on the charger for ages. When I got back home I was sure that the phone is fully charged (it shows it on my usb hub). Tried to switch it on - Result, nothing is coming up to the screen

2. Hard reset by pressing power button and volume up or down - Result, nothing is coming up to the screen

3. Connect the phone on a laptop to check if the laptop recognises it. The laptop is doing the noise that something is connected and start installing drivers. Seconds later the device disconnected and connected again and this loop of connection and disconnection is happening for ever -Result nothing, only question marks.

4. Thought that is a hardware failure and since the screen doesn't shows anything I bought a new screen. I didn't by an OLED, I bough the cheap one. - Result, nothing is coming up to the new screen

5. I disconnected the battery and install the screen again connect the battery and try the same steps 1 & 2. - Results the same as the steps 1 & 2.

For me it looks like that the phone is bricked (I forgot to mention that my mother in law gave it to someone else before she pass the phone to me, no trust :P) and the other guy probably tried to change the ROM or something similar. The boot loop that the phone is doing when I connected on my laptop is not normal (noise of connection and after 1sec noise of disconnection).

Additionally, I am not sure if the screen is working and I am on dilemma, do I have to return the screen to the seller of keep it until find out what is the problem with the phone. Maybe the screen is the faulty part that cause another issue. When I connect the phone on the laptop without the screen is doing the boot loop noise of connection/disconnection. I found out that when the phone is connected on the laptop and I press the power button the disconnection noise is delayed by couple more seconds.

Any help or guidance will be more than welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy J6 Questions & Answers] Pachacouti:
Obtain the Stock image for your fone from samsung, load it into the version of Odin they suggest, but dont start it yet.

Disconnect fone from pc, and turn it off.

Start Odin flashing

plug fone in

Mb a few steps dif since I last flashed a samsung, but this will fix your fone.

Make sure you got the samsung driver installed in your pc :)
[Samsung Galaxy J6 Questions & Answers] Thing0l79:
Thanks for your response.

Samsung drivers are already installed.

The problem that I am encountering is that I can put the phone on download mode. Firstly because I can't see anyhting on the screen and secondly because my laptops can see the device. I tried different cables too but nothing worked. :(

Since the phone cannot be recognised by the PC, the Odin app cannot see it either.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] ghostcauliflower:
I'm currently using a custom ROM so I cannot check the system version, but I want to revert back to stock MIUI and lock the bootloader. So, as in the title - how do I check if I have the Global or EEA variant of Redmi Note 7? I am from an EEA country, but it says Global Version on the side of the box 🤷‍♂️

Alternatively, will flashing and locking EEA ROM on the Global variant or vice versa brick my device?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Pachacouti:
In my fone, I restart fone, as soon as it starts TO restart, I press vol- and hold until I see an engineer menu, you should find it in there :)

Not if its proper to your fone, but It depends on maker...

Hello,

My model ID disappeared from my phone and now I cannot upload anything to it anymore.. It happened while updating to spl 1.40 Olinex... Does anyone have an idea how to upload a Rom without the need of a Device ID? The spl has the right number (I can see that in the Bootloader screen)...

Help?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] duttythroy:
This has happen to my phone as well can you go to bootloader mode and write down all the details here, we might have to contact ccmonex/olinex if its the same which happpen to me,

:(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
hey. dutty showed me this thread :) drop me a PM and we can try and fix this.

basically we'll first try to write your modelid back, if that doesn't work, then the last option is flash an SPL that ignores modelid.

Another problem is with mtty..

When I start up the program and my phone in boot loader, then mtty crashes immediately when I press a button.. If I disconnect usb and reconnect it again I can type stuff in, but I can type in text without anything happening..

I'm starting to give up on this phone. Maybe I should start seeing it as a expensive pda..

i have the same issue .. me phone is freez then i have to remove battery out .. and restart again ... BUT ... everything is gone ... i cannot doing anything with it ....doesnt matter what kind the rom i upgrade .. still came bootloader ONLY ... i have read many thread about BRICK ... but nothing could help ......please any advise .... HELPP..... please
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] viperbjk:
First of all :

Relax :)

Got a new diamond today and had the same issues.

What Windows OS are you using ? Do you use WDMC or Activesync ?

What is the driver version of the installed HTC Sync ?

As for mtty :

Next version of QMAT will be fine and will be much more stable than mtty.

As for bootloader :

1. Are you able to connect to mtty, and does it respond to command

"info 2" ?

If yes, fixing it should be no problem.

Contact cmonex, she will be able to help you.

If she isn't able, I and cmonex will figure out what to do next :D

Thanks for quick reply VIPER ... my phone run well until i remove the battery ... everything turn out bad ....i use stock rom with is HK version 1.93.871.1

seem to me usb working fine... i can upgrade it ...but ... when is done ...only have bootloader ...First come with ::: DIAMOND TOUCH :: then black out ..when i press power button again .. coming only bootloader screen, no matter what rom i try ... still in bootloader mode.........please help .......
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xanh:
was a double message
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xanh:
Hi Viper,

Thanks for your reply,

Unfortunately qmat crashes too when I try to send it a command... The version I use here is v395..

I'm using Activesync 4.5.. But this has been disabled...

After a while windows tells me that it finds an unknown device when in bootloader..

The OS is still working and is a HK version 1.93.871.1 as well..

Although I don't know if the OS part is fully ok, since after a hard reset the extra programs get installed and the phone crashes on installing opera...

Could it be that the bootloader itself is not functioning properly making all the tools crash?

My idea is to change the id of the phone to be able to upload a new SPL, and upload a original ROM... At least it should work again then... But I've been trying for more than a week now..

Thanks..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] viperbjk:
Xanh, which spl is now installed on your device ?

If it is the Hard Spl, try manualspl to reflash spl again. I guess SPL is broken.

Normally, you don't need to change the ID for that.

Changing the ID is only needed when flashing a ROM other than your

original one.

k3vin168 : Also try to reflash SPL. If you've done that and it did work, please contact me via PM. Then either your nand is bad or you need to change the bootmode.

Cya,

SPL is 1.40.OliNex, but I don't need to change the ID, but it's missing since failing installing 1.40.OliNex SPL.. How does this manual SPL upload work?

No matter which update I try, it will always say that Device ID is wrong... I think NAND is somehow bad, since that's where the device ID is stored right?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] viperbjk:
xanh,

Could be that nand is bad. There are two regions where the device id is stored.

Memory and NAND. But both can be fixed using Hard SPL (MFG).

PM me, I'll try to help you out of your misery.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] viperbjk:
Any progress on this one ?

If not, please PM me :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
he meant SSPL-Manual.exe from the hardspl thread, but I don't think that would fix mtty.

anyway, have you got my PM. if mtty is hopeless, the other route is what you need (flash SPL without modelid check via special no checking SSPL). I sent you all links and instructions.

(I'd rather not make the files public or all the noobs will start flashing random devices' roms.)

EDIT: I assume your OS is able to boot, but if not, then you need a different set of files, let me know
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
for duttythroy, we could not write the modelid back to nand for some reason. lnb said success, then it was still not there in the flash when reading it out afterwards. so I just had him flash a "special" spl :)
