[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] robicop2:
Hi, something went wrong while trying to install pixelExperience on my redmi note 8 pro. It doesn't reach any screen, no fastboot, no recovery, no boot screen. The notification led light up when connected to the PC, but no charging screen.

I was installing pixelExperience 11 with no error, but it never booted up after rebooting.

I'm currently trying to flash rom downloaded from xiaomifirmwareupdater.com with SP flash tool. I'm using the version from UnbrickRN8ProNoAuth, it says it worked, but the phone won't start.

The booloader was unlocked, I tried both the global and the europe version. I don't know what to try now, any suggestion ?

What could be the problem, I was expecting that flashing the official rom would at least get me to the boot screen.

Thanks !
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] thejavigames:
Hello to me, exactly the same thing happened to me when installing pixel experience, you follow all the steps of UnbrickRN8ProNoAuth

to use python, driver, libusb, bypass and finally spflashtool with the dafiles and the authfiles?

I use the version with this method is this:

https://c.mi.com/thread-3612344-1-0.html

With that I was able to start the mobile and the fastboot mode worked again, apparently it is a bug when entering pixel experience if you have firmware 12.5 that sometimes causes the brick, try that version it worked for me. a greeting

ps: especially remember to use the auth_sv5.auth in the program

and MTK_AllInOne_DA_mt6765_mt6785, if everything is correct you should get a green check, I tell you because first the program checks the rom if it is correct, do you connect it by pressing the 3 buttons at the same time?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] robicop2:
Hey, thx, I'll try with this version then !

Yes I have the green check, and I connect the phone with only the vol+ pressed.

I need to do the bypass every time, is that the normal behaviour, and is there another step I should redo ?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] thejavigames:
Because of the preloader mode I never use volume + I always use the 3 buttons, so I added the "libusb filter" the bypass I don't know exactly what it is for, but the 2 times that I used the mediatek program and I used it, I just look at it, and according to github it is used for: "Small utility to disable bootrom protection (sla and daa)" and according to google the bootrom: "Bootrom (or Boot ROM) is a small piece of ROM mask or write-protected flash embedded inside of the processor chip. It contains the first code that the processor executes when turning on or resetting. "Enteoria, if it doesn't write you that data from version 12.0.4, it doesn't turn on, follow all the steps correctly with the rom that is shared with you. above and I should start your phone.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] robicop2:
It's working again !!

I searched for a similar version but global, and installed it (https://c.mi.com/thread-3565279-1-0.html)

Thanks a lot.

If that can help someone, this time I had an error on the 4th step, it wasn't finding my phone whereas the step 5 could. I had to rerun step 3.

Now I have to choose between settling with this version or trying again ^^ did you manage to install pixelExperience in the end ?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] thejavigames:
Hi, I'm glad you fix it in the end, the rom that you put is the same, it only changes that mine is the europe version and yours is International, the google patch also changes,

In the end, if I could install pixel from 12.0.4 to pixel 12, from 12.5 the firmware is different and there are many bricks, I bricked myself just like you did not turn on anything, when going from 12.5 to pixel 11, from 12.0 no It opens up risks of going to pixel 11 or 12.

in the end, you can only install pixel 12, wanting to put 11 could not mount the system and the provider

The problem that the cameras do not work well in pixel, even installing gcam they go lag and not all of them work, not even the 64mpx mode, right now I am in miui stock with bootloader closed again. the cameras are important to me, greetings

i'm trying to root my J320v but i am unable to flash the boot or recovery images. I have debug mode on, usb debugging enabled, OEM unlock enabled, the official Samsung USB drivers installed. Odin can detect the device but cannot write to it. I'm guessing the bootloader is still locked but from everything i can find the OEM unlock is supposed to disable that.

I'd like to install android 12 on this device so I can use it for app development, at the bare minimum android 10+ so i have access to scoped storage.

Hi,

I'm trying to follow the guide from @astracd here:

OnePlus Community

Introducing our new OnePlus Community experience, with a completely revamped structure, built from the ground-up.

forums.oneplus.com

But it looks like I need mbn files from a phone with the same system on a chip, the snap dragon 888.

Does anyone have a source for the mbn files for the S21? My carrier sells these phones so I think it's the best chance to get VOWIFI working.

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia 5 III] astracd:
Hi there,

Even you do this procedure it doesn't guarantee that it will work. I have now OP7T T- Mobile version and it doesn't work for me, while for people with international version of same phone it works.

I would recommend that you try PDC procedure first without touching MBN file. Of course make backup first before you touch anything.

For MBN file you can try to find Xiaomi Mi11 mbn file and see if they have Canadian operators.

I am also surprised that it doesn't work on Samsung as they sell that phone. Did you register https://vowifi.authenticateme.ca/? Also do you have p6 sim card?

Let me know how it goes.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] astracd:
Ok. I just realized you have Sony not samsung. lol
[Sony Xperia 5 III] mavicanuck:
Hi Astracd,

Thanks again for replying! I appreciate it.

I actually have the Sony 5iii, and was trying to follow the OP6, 7 8 method you had shared. In that method I need the pixel 3/4 mbn files, but it looks like that works because of a shared chipset. So I was looking for S21, but you are right the mi 11 also has a 888.

Do you know where I can find the mi11 mdm files? I'll search on here but haven't seen them yet.

Also, what do you mean by PDC procedure? Doesn't that also need the pixel mdm file?

I've checked my sim has p6, and am actually moving from an older sony xa2 that had vowifi working, to the new one where it is not working. Old one was bought through the carrier.

Okay your misunderstanding a few things. First of all android is just a different distro of linux.

Once we get it working with all of our hardware we can patch the android kernel with all of our work then use the android userspace (android.bin) But untill we have working drivers for the excalibur in linux its not possible to boot and use android or any linux fully... understand?

That's strange. Maybe I don't remember how is the attachment process managed on other phones. Is it always possible only through a built-in file manager?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spamm00r:
Hi,

I'm looking for a way to control the Fire TV 4K via intents.

I want to issue remote control commands via Intents. For example pressing home key activates the Fire Tv Stick and switches the HDMI Input to the Fire TV's HDMI port.

Just issuing :

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.DEFAULT

WIll only return you to home, but not switch HDMI Input.

So I was looking to the logs and found these intents are issued when you press the Keys on the fire tv remote app:

01-04 18:34:37.062 1224 1224 I Vizzini_2.0.14872.0:HomeListener: Received: amazon.intent.action.HOME_PRESSED

01-04 18:34:37.125 1249 1249 I OZ-DCS:DeviceControlApiService: tryActivate called DCS intent: com.amazon.tv.devicecontrol.ACTION_ACTIVATE received, force: false

Line 8971: 01-04 18:34:37.102 608 622 I ActivityManager: START u0 {act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.HOME] flg=0x10200000 cmp=com.amazon.tv.launcher/.ui.HomeActivity_vNext (has extras)} from uid 1000 on display 0

Ther eis also:

01-04 18:34:37.281 608 680 D hdmi_cec: [HWCEC] ret:0 msg->destination:0 msg->body[0]:0xd msg->body[1]:0x0

But I don't know how to issue hdmi cec commands without root.

If we can use amazons own apps to react to these intents, then we can control the dvice via commandline.

Unfortunately I do not know how to let the Fire TV Stick react to these intents via adb shell.

Why not just issue: adb keyinput? Because you need adb for it and I want to avoid adb allthogether and issue the intents via Tasker.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweenWolf:
I don't have enough time to teach you about whole linux security and permissions things but heres a quickie.

You CANNOT pass few intents or receive protected broadcasts without proper permissions.

You use SU privileges to access all root level things on a system.

ADB (Android DEBUG Bridge) is used for DEBUGGING, so a developer can write their code and test it on a device. ADB shells has certain special permissions that a normal process does not.

Tasker is a user app and not a system privileged app so it cannot perform certain action because they are running under different UID.

Amazon system apps are signed with platform certificates, giving them special permissions. All the things that an app does and access of the Android system needs to be declared in its Manifest.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spamm00r:
But don't the trusted amazon apps not receive only a command for example to issue the Home Button press for example form third party remote control apps? There are dozens of apps that you can use to replace the Fire TV remote. They somehow communicate with the signed amazon apps, i was assuming through intents.

All I want is to issue those remote control commands programmatically, without having to press any buttons.

This should be possible somehow right?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweenWolf:
As i wrote earlier you need "Permissions" to do that.
