Hi, I'm From Brazil

I'm selling this phone here in my country.

I think I've got same problem here. But I've tried to get bootscren and it seems to be that procedure correct.

Once you shutdown the phone first remove it battery for 10 seconds, and than put back into the phone. Than press power and home(that center buttom) until phone show 2 messages(one for master boot and other for clear boot).

After this message you may release power buttom and keep pressing home buttom untill phone shows it boot screen.

You will face a "downloading program, please wait" message on phone screem

But be extremelly carefull than, make sure you have a power cable attached to the phone and it battery at least 90% charged because update took lot of time sometimes.

I'm telling that because today I have one M88 "dead" in my hands because I did not followed all this procedure and after 35 minutes, by mystake I pressed reset buttom.

Now my phone not even turns on, nor charge it battery, is dead.

But I think using one of those "BOX" devices I will ressucitate it!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] teddy_irish:
Thanks m8!

The thing is that when I press the 2 buttons at once I can only get blue screen for less than 1 second and after that Windows is loading. When it is done - the phone is after hard reset. I've tried hundreds of times - always the same. I can't get messages asking me to load software - only hard reset is the result. I've tried any other combination, including the reset buton under the cover, next to USB, but never managed to enter the service mode or boot mode or whatever it is.

One week I'm wasting my time in doing hundreds of attemts to enter the bootloader and nothing! How then do you make a hard reset on the M88?

Do you thing if I can use backup from english version of the same model that will change the situation - the spanish will be substituted by english? And if it's possible can you upload such a backup, made by Spb backup software for me, please?

Best regards
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ZEMONTI:
I have stupid problem. Some files disappeared, some programs stopped working and the entire system blocked. I made many soft and hard resets, which fixed the things... for a while. After one hour it's blocking again, without any settings, or interventions.

I downloaded the ROM, created a "root" folder in the card and unzipped everything there.

The thing is that it ROM-boot looks too fast - only couple of minutes. Can it be?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stenatay:
I think I can do that,

but in one and half week because I'm still waiting for the flashing box and their cables.

Once I get I will upload it here.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stenatay:
Go ahead

But be pretty calm when performing update or you gonna get a bricked phone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ZEMONTI:
But is it possible that the update takes only few minutes? Or i'm doing only hard reset?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] teddy_irish:
It is possible the update to take only few minutes

Hi from Ireland!

Yes it's possible. Today I finally managed to make the update - it took only 3 minutes. Now I have English OS on my M88! :)

It's a really nice phone isn't it? :)

That's good news!

Yes It is!

How to install WM6 ROM - English version on M88 MiPhone from SD card

Please download the original ROM from here

I was adwised to do this:

1. Duplicate the update.img file and rename the second one as "uploader"

2. Copy both "update.img" and "uploader" on the SD - formatted in FAT32

3. Press POWER and HOME butons at the same time.

4. There are two possible options from here:

a) White screen with blue text showing "Upload image... please wait..."

b) Red screen with the options what to do in the next step -

5. I saw first the a) option - the white screen. So after 3 minutes of waiting the phone said it is done and it will selfrestart.

After the restart it will load the English OS on your M88 :)

Enjoy ;)

M88 english bootloader

Here is the fix, sponsored by wirelessandmorestore.com

Copy both of these files to your computer.

http://uploading.com/files/YE6JJ36Y/update.img.html

http://uploading.com/files/TA1N0MBA/uploader.img.html

Plug in your phone and copy them to the SD card.

Turn the phone off.

Press the button on the top and the round button on the face at the same time and continue to hold it. As you are holding it, the phone will turn and go thorugh a couple steps before it says something like 'downloading image' or 'updating image' something like that.

Once it gets to that screen, you can let go of the buttons and the phone will update and reboot. This will take a couple of minutes. It will be in English when it turns itself back on and loads Windows.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] runekock:
People say that you cannot install both TWRP and magisk (I haven't tried it myself). So start again with a flash-all, and then, instead of installing TWRP, run it using fastboot boot whenever you need it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The OP needs to flash a factory image first or the corruption message will never disappear. While he's at it he should make the jump to Android 11...latest radios and all that. If he doesn't want to lose data he can edit flash-all.bat in the factory image and remove the -w flag in that batch file.

From there he can flash anything he wants. If he plans on rooting however he cannot install TWRP, only boot it using ADB. The combination of Magisk and TWRP causes a bootloop.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cognitivedissonance:
The problem presents with even the stock boot image though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cognitivedissonance:
Understood on the magisk / twrp thing, but regarding the factory image, that is exactly what I was going. The problem presents even after doing that. That's why it's so puzzling.

Edit: it's admittedly a very long post, but if you look at the section that's numbered, you'll see I'm grabbing the latest factory image for Android 10 and flashing it. Then in the section labeled "Here's What I've Tried" (aka my attempts to troubleshoot) the very first thing I did was flash the factory image (including the wipe) to both Slots and then trying to boot from one slot and then from the other.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Grab an Android 11 package and don't remove the -w flag when installing. The corruption may be persisting because user storage isn't being wiped.

The factory image - NOT OTA - is the only way to fix this short of sending the device to Google for service.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cognitivedissonance:
Why would it be any different when I wipe with Android 10 or Android 11? I flashed the latest Android 10 factory image to the phone *with* the -w flag as mentioned in my "here's what I tried" section. I even went so far as to force the phone to Slot A with the "set_active" command, and then set_active Slot B and flashed the factory image (not the OTA) again. After doing that, the one slot will boot just fine while the other gives the error. If I change it up and flash Slot B first and then Slot A the same thing occurs, just in reverse (the slot that booted before throws the error while the slot that threw the error before now boots.)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
My initial post explains why I recommended an Android 11 ROM (updated radio). Any of them will of course work, but that's beside the point. Try using ADB to format the partitions and see if that resolves the issue. Otherwise contact Google, as I can't think of anything else that would be blocking you.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Alekos:
I had this same issue and Flashing Android 11 on both partitions (without removing the -w command) resolved it.

I first booted into Recovery Menu and wiped both slots. Then downloaded the factory image (not ota) and flashed each slot separately wiping the device after each flash in recovery menu. it's the only way to fix this just like user @Strephon Alkhalikoi

If that doesn't resolve it then you have an issue that's more serious and will require a repair of some sort (not necessarily hardware).
[Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Questions & Answers] deathcode0:
Hello

My phone is Black shark 3 Global version KLEN 2008060OS00MP3.

I've rooted it before using @KM7 rooting guide, i forgot to back up the recovery stock, only backed up Boot.img, yesterday i decided to unroot my phone, so i flashed first the stock boot but the phone doesn't update because it has TWRP installed.

After that i tried to flash MP4 through 1027 local update but it gives "error ota 20"

I did another try that i flash DPX beta global rom through local update, it accepted the install and switched to SLOT B, but i felt that this rom isn't stable with touch so i decided to twrp Back up @mr. Fros global MP3 backed up rom.

My problem now that i can't use banking apps because Saftey net error bypass and banks see my phone as rooted and also i can't update to mp4, mp5 . Etc

Any solution please?

[Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Questions & Answers] slashyuz6:
You have to flash the stock recovery with the same exact version of your current ROM (which is global MP3) , otherwise it won't work.

Try to uninstall magisk app (apk), or reset to factory, then try again. See if it's still see it as rooted or not.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Questions & Answers] deathcode0:
I got hands on Qfil KLEN2008060OS00MP3 global stock rom, i will firstly extract recovery.img and flash it through adb and check if internal updates going through or not. If not then i will flash the whole rom using Qfil.

About magisk, i already uninstalled but bank app still detecting. I checked Saftey net and got that result :

Hi. I have a Redmi 9T and I want to install a custom OS. But I'm not sure if I should install either the juice version or lime version ROM. Is there any difference between them? Is there any way for me to check which is my device?
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] ak0ztik:
Juice is just a unified version, which means either you have a poco m3 or redmi 9t device you can install the rom.

Juice = lime, lemon, pomelo, citrus
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] PrinceN7:
So that means that I can install any ROM/Recovery on my Redmi 9T that is for the codename juice?
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] ak0ztik:
Yes, at least that was it's intended to.

But sometimes it do have some bug, because most devs are on poco m3, they do call for 9t testers though before releasing.
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] PrinceN7:
Ok. Seems I goofed up. Tried to install the juice version of ArrowOS. My device is now stuck on bootloop. I took out the SD card and copied in the stock rom I downloaded but now my SD card isn't being detected by TWRP. You wouldn't know how to fix this issue would you?
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] ak0ztik:
Have you tried to format data?

Or flash dfe?
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] ak0ztik:
Do clean flash

using ofox recovery

1) format data

2) flash rom

3) format data

*optional

4) flash dfe and reboot

Do step 4 if your device's stuck in unli reboot to redmi logo.
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] PrinceN7:
Yeah. didn't seem to do anything.

I'm sorry. But what's dfe?
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] ak0ztik:
disable verity, you can download it at redmi 9t telegram channel
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] PrinceN7:
I'm really sorry. But where is the telegram channel? And do I need to login to access the channel? If so it might be a problem since I am not logged in to Telegram on my PC

Hello everyone! I would like some help if someone can do the "CHARITY" I'm currently out of work and I only have this cell phone "Samsung Galaxy Core 2 Duo SM-G355M" and I just can't make any CUSTOM ROM work with at least Android version 5.0.1 all I've tried have the same problem "I CAN UPDATE" using TWRP but after the BOOT is stopped at the boot screen (Custom ROM logo) infinitely I've tried more than 20 different roms and none works only one of PACMAN I managed to boot this one no the SIM CHIP works so it makes the cell phone useless! Only the STOCK ROMs have worked but these are heavy because they come with the DAMN APPS and this cuar is very weak there is not much space and little memory either!

Hello,

In the rush of flashing the january update I've flashed by mistake the Pixel 5 image bootloader (my wife's phone)

Yest that's stupid, I've done this every months for years with several Pixel phones, but I was listening to music at the same time and did dl the wrong image...

Anyway my phone is now hard bricked but I'm sure there must be a way to enter the other bootlader slot and/or entering a special recovery tool.

I cannot enter bootloader anymore

No that's the problem.

But there are 2 bootloader slots (a and b) and I'm pretty sure there is way to switch from one to another with a special tool or button sequence.

I've already tried many button combinaison with no luck.

This kind of error is so stupid that I hope there is a way to force a rescue bootloader or something on boot.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wulfgarfang:
yes but you need to be able to communicate with your phone from your pc.....if you cant access fastboot then how will you change partition?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
The only special tools we have are either the pixel repair tool or the android flash tool. If both can't get you fastboot / firmware flashing, that's it. Hardbrick. Google Pixels don't have "special" hardbrick solving tools, like older OnePlus had. You need to contact Google.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Psfanboy88:
Same problem here: downloaded from a blog the latest firmware. They have linked the pixel 5 firmware and named it as Pixel 6 pro full firmware. Just flashed without looking and now the phone wont boot. No reaction at all, no fast boot or whatsoever. Have filled in a repair request in my google account, because I’ve bought it directly in their store.

Do you think they have a way to find out what went wrong? I meant the phone is not giving any signal, regardless of which button combination I press. Worst case: I have to pay for the repair…
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wulfgarfang:
WOW. So even holding volume down and power until you see the fastboot screen wont work? sometimes you have to hold it for a while. I say that because when the December firmware came out I accidentally flashed the wrong region but was able to access bootloader and so was able to rescue myself. So sorry dude. That really sucks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Thibale:
Yes worst case we'll have for repair but they could have implemented a simple device id check on their script prior flashing anything, especially for the bootloader.

Anyway, I'm alive, in a good health and it's just a phone ;)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You can flash gobbledygook to your phone if you're not careful. You can flash a non-Google phone's image. Flashing just flashes what you tell it to flash.

You can also Google for official pixel firmware and the top search result is what the want. I know it doesn't help you now. Good luck with your phone!
