[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mask_4246:
My issue isn't with the making mtlclient nor a few of my tablets flash.

I have a custum boot recovery vendor cache and system imgs I flash already into generic mediatech devices with the procedure

python3 mtk w system system.img.

Three of the same generic tablets of different build properties same chipset same android os will not flash.

I have had some success flashing ones that are unflashable by hardware glitches! With same procedure!

How would I obtain brom mode on the other few devices.

Is mtk client actually working on termux

i have managed it to install successfully in termux proot distro (like ubuntu)

but my device is not detecting (Device: redmi 6) i have already installed Termux API

is your device is rooted ( will it works on n

on rooted device )

can you please explain the steps
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
It WON'T detect any devices. It's a waste of storage. You HAVE to install it on a PC to make it detect anything.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mask_4246:
Wrong I can produce videos of mtkclient flashing a mt8163 from a rooted android device from my jailed Linux container. Or chroot. I chant explain or answer anything about termux for I have never used it. No need when I use rooted device with .chroot...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David-538:
Any new developments ? Very interested in this. Just question, does both devices have to be mediatek ? Can't one use a unisoc/qualcomm device to flash the mtk target device ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mask_4246:
I've personally seen a mediatech 8163 be flashed from a rockchiip device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David-538:
Well, i guess the soc isn't that important in terminal device ? I've asked something similar on reddit, here. Lol, seems we are not the only ones interested in this topic. Apperently, using a tool called anotherterm is something one could try. Haven't been able to, yet, but definitely wanna try it.

Edit: Link is now working/fixed, lol.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reyhank45:
Can you explain on how do you install it i have a debian chroot setup but stuck on "running on chroot ignoring request"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
You will get that error message. mtkclient can't be properly setup in chroot. If you want you can ignore it and install mtkclient, but it will probably not detected devices in BROM mode.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reyhank45:
Is there any way to install mtkclient on my phone ?

[Redmi Note 10S] rilbel:
I purchased a Redmi Note 10s for about now 2 months. I understand it is a budget device, but I am trying to see if anyone who is more knowledgeable on Android than me knows what may be occurring here. Yes, I have tried to Google the solution but to no avail. I'm sorry.

The device works fine overall, but the other day I started the camera app and I noticed there is a line at the top of the frame when in any mode other than 1:1.

If I place the camera in a 1:1 ratio, there is no line (since it shortens the top), anything else there is this stuck annoying line at the top. Now, what is peculiar is that when using the stock camera app, and we go video, the line at the top moves according to how I move the device around, it is not stuck. Also, I noticed the line at the top changes color, depending on background and weirdest thing of all.. it applied this line to all my pictures that I took PRIOR to this issue occurring.

Also, I tried gcam and other camera apps. In photo mode, same story, line at the top is stuck, but when we go video on these other apps, the line now does not "move" like in the stock camera app but is also stuck in video mode as well.

Now, its either hardware or software I know. I have not done a total reset yet but may later on but since I got a bunch of logins and apps downloaded and what not, I wonder if anyone knows a solution about this issue.

Hardware: Impossible unless the build is this bad for Xiaomi Redmi devices. I never smacked the device, it never fell nor has any liquid damage. I babied it since day 1.

Software: I think it could likely be more a software issue than hardware but pls enlighten me why and how to fix.

Thank you,
[Redmi Note 10S] stuntdouble:
Does it happen using every lens or just one lens? What you describe sounds like some sort of spirit levelling/guide lines, although they shouldn't be present on a saved image, unless some option is enabled to do so. Try resetting the app, just write down settings you want to remember first.

I recommend trying the gcam port app instead of the stock one too, much better images.
[Redmi Note 10S] miravision:
Post a sample photo and screenshot demonstrating the glitch.
[Redmi Note 10S] rilbel:
It is happening only with the main lens, not the others.

I went ahead and wiped data. Issue persist unfortunately.

When I point the camera towards a bright light, you can see the top line becoming blue and part of it disappearing.

Will post images soon to give you a better idea.

Yes I did try other apps such as gcam. Same issue.

From the looks of it, it seems like you have a faulty sensor. Just have your phone replaced from where you bought it.
[Redmi Note 10S] stuntdouble:
Agreed with jacobpayag, looks like an RMA job, for a faulty sensor.
[Redmi Note 10S] rilbel:
I bought it from wirelessplace, and I am unable to return or exchange unfortunately since it has been over 30 days. I emailed them but.. I doubt they will do anything. I guess I will keep it as is. No Xiaomi CS in the USA, I do not believe I can RMA this device. Please advise.

Thank you,
[Redmi Note 10S] stuntdouble:
Sorry I can't help you with consumer rights laws in the USA. I'd be surprised if you couldn't have it repaired or replaced within 12 months from purchase though.
[Redmi Note 10S] rilbel:
Just called them and they only RMA devices sold within the USA, which does not include mobile phones or smartwatches.

I mean I'll keep the phone, its overall a great device and I am not huge on photos or anything but still.. to have a defect after 2 months? Not giving me much faith in their QC for future purchases.
[Redmi Note 10S] jacobpayag:
That's why I still prefer buying phones physically. Also, you could try to repair the device yourself. I think you can buy the camera module online and AFAIK, you can replace each individual camera instead of having all 4 replaced.

I've seen the semi-transparent bars in peoples screenshots, would somebody care to tell me how this is done? :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dickenz:
Get your device. ActiveSync it. Explore it. Find file 18c460d8_manila in Windows folder. Copy it to your PC. Save it to a folder somewhere.

Download Manila Editor. Select Path in Manila Editor > Point it to the folder you just saved the 18c460d8_manila file. You'll see a blank image listed in manila editor.

Export it and open it with your favourite gfx editing program. Edit it to a semi transparent colour. If I remember rightly it's a 2pixel wide (128 high) image that 'spans' across the screen.

Use manila editor to replace the file with your newly edited image. Then copy the 18c460d8_manila file back to your device in \Windows.

Wallah! All done. You can find everything you need via Searching and reading!

The app i am looking for not listed there. I need Gmail to sync 24/7 and it only sync when I open it up.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
Since Gmail is part of the system app you can't change the battery optimization. The way around this is to delete the app via adb and then reinstall via play store. This way you get the battery optimization option in the app.

This setting can be made in app settings of Gmail app itself. Though app info (long press app in app drawer, press (i) in top right corner), Battery, choose Unrestricted.

You'll need to open the MicroG & log in to your Google account. Then it should have the notification just like the screenshot I shared. From there you can access that option
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] emmawaston79:
In Samsung S21 UItra, it’s very easy to find a battery optimization option.

Step 1:

Go to "Settings" and click on "Device Care".

Tap ‘Optimize now’ to optimize your ‘Battery’, "Storage", "Memory" and "Security".

Step 2:

In 'Battery', tap ‘See more’ to go to Settings and click on ‘Sleeping apps’.

Tap ‘Add’ to select apps you want in sleep status, then tap ‘Add’ once again.

Clean up unused apps and features.

Go to ‘Device care’ in ‘Settings’ and click on ‘Battery’. and then ‘Battery usage’.

Click on ‘See more’ and tap ‘Hide OS and system apps’ Check battery usage and details of apps actually in use.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
If the phone is advertised as unlocked and is clearly NOT unlocked, why not talk to BestBuy and get a replacement? It's not your job to contact the potential carrier.

You bought a six-cylinder car and got the electric version. That's not your problem, you don't have to fix it, just tell the dealer to get you the one that you ordered. Return it and demand a new one, or get your money back.

It's clearly the wrong product.

Not to mention the fact that still amuses me: Why do you guys over the big pond still have BS like "locked" devices? Courts in Europe & politics had fixed that cr*p years ago*, there are no unlocked or locked devices over here. Every phone has to work with any carrier, and that's the end of it. Stop getting ripped off by companies. Simply don't support companies that lock devices, it's a ****ty anti consumer practice and makes no sense at all.

*Countries in the European Union (EU) each have their own legislation on SIM locking, but must comply with the EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (Directive 2005/29/EC of 2005)
