[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Hammerhand.17:
No, I didn't. I didn't even know that you could achieve edl mode this way. If you make some progress, please share it.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] hepolise:
Have you tried to use deep flash cable?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
If you have a voltmeter that can help you in your search.

You're looking for a pair of points, conspicuously by themselves.

They could be blocked by a connector for something like a camera.

One point should measure 1.8V That is the internal power supply.

One point should measure 0V That is the sensing input pin.

If you have any resistors of say 200-3000 ohm that is a safer thing to jump test points that you're not sure of.

When you jumper the points the 1.8V stays the same and the 0V goes to 1.8V

If all else fails you can try to disable the flash by using a 100-200 ohm resistor to ground on testpoints near the flash memory.

If the ROM bootloader finds it can't even access the flash it will also go to EDL mode.

I believe (but don't know) that the "deep flash" cable support is part of the SBL/XBL (and not the boot ROM) and so it may not work on all models.

I've never got one to work, but that may be my fault. I have gotten this to work on one of my devices.

In any case, if someone has authoritative info on it, I'd love to know.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] HarshaPraveen:
Poco F2 pro is hardbricked and edl mode is not showing instead of that it is showing usb device is not recognised (code 43 error). but i also shorted to boot to edl mode . I keep getting this error message ( usb device is not recognised) .

I attached image .

thanks for helping
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
Yes, that's the error when Windows can't even negotiate the first transaction with a USB device.

I can make Windows say that with a resistor and a cable.

So your device has pulled up the D+ USB data line but is not configured/not responding in the least.

This could be anything. It could be it tried booting the regular system and failed totally.

I actually have found devices that an "EDL cable" works, although it doesn't work for everything.

You might as well try that if you have a cable to sacrifice.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] HarshaPraveen:
Okay i have cable and i will try
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] HarshaPraveen:
I tried what you said by using edl cable and now it is showing like usb unknown device (port reset failed).

Reply it helps. Any solution to fix this error ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
Your device in dead in the water.

It's not in EDL mode (unless your usb connector, cable or hub is broken).

EDL mode works regardless of what is in flash, but only if you can tell it explicitly to go to EDL or it decides itself that your flash is junk.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] HarshaPraveen:
😨😢there is no solution? To enter into edl mode ( on poco F2 pro? ).
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
Did you try a "Deep flash" cable (i.e. EDL test cable)? Did you try looking for EDL test points?

I'm getting tired of typing this out so in the future I'll stick to this block of text:

"Single point" EDL test point(s) location:

First, you will need a digital voltmeter (DVM) that has "diode test" as one of the ranges.

If you have a little alligator clip that will be handy for connecting a ground.

"Ground" is a tin can shield or the shell of the plugged-in USB cable.

The black probe always goes to ground.

Open your unit, look around for little gold dots.

Make a drawing (or annotate a photo).

Measure the DC voltage to ground of each of the points.

Cross out any dots that have a voltage over 0.5 V

Most of the measurements will be either 0V, 1.8V, 5V.

Rarely you'll see something between 0.5V and 1.5V or over 5V,

Next, you'll try all the points left over that basically had zero voltage on them.

Using your DVM in "diode test" mode, black lead to ground, red lead to possible EDL point.

If the reading is under 10 or the reading is ---- you can cross this point off too.

The measurement depends on your meter, but 1000 or so would be good. It must be some number.

While the probes are connected do a long press (>10 seconds) on the power button to reset.

Use a USB utility (like UsbLog.exe) to keep an eye out for 05c6/9008.

Didn't find anything? TIme to look for a sneaky place, under the camera connectors or others.

Found something? Look for an adjacent dot that measures a solid 1.8V (using DCV range, obviously).

This is the second point and it will be useful for people that don't have a DVM.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Nimueh:
Poco? You'd be better off asking in the sub forum for that device, OP phones might be much different ;)
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
Are you sure these are the right points?

Did you press the power button long enough (>10 seconds) while shorting the points?

Did the power button have an effect?

Time to try disconnecting the battery, unplug the USB, short the points, plug in the USB.

If that gets a sane result, plug in the battery.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] HarshaPraveen:
Yes , I tried different times.

Still getting like usb device is not recognised but not showing like 9008 edl mode😢. Reply it helps.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
You don't say if long power press has an effect.

You could have a fatal hardware problem, but software is a more likely problem.

Debugging this stuff is much easier if you have a current monitor and can watch it boot.

Also a hardware UART console is great but usually not that common.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] SwedishForenger:
Hi Renate. I have a question I'm wondering if you can help me with. I've searched all over the XDA forums and asked around, but no one is addressing this problem I'm having with fastboot.

I've never encountered this problem with 'fastboot'. I have had a few Mediatek phones over the last few years that have given me an insight into how to flashing and rooting, using all kind of tools and tricks. However, using the familiar fastboot on this tablet, is giving me a headache. Enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging, adb devices, gives me the usual phone name. booting in to fastboot with 'adb reboot bootloader' and then 'fastboot devices', gives me the usual phone name, which indicates that the drivers for the fastboot are correct for this device. And giving the fastboot reboot command, restarts the tablet. But unlocking the bootloader with fastboot flashing unlock,fastboot oem unlock,fastboot oem unlock-go,fastboot flashing unlock_critical, Will ABSOLUTELY not work ????. And I can't for the life of me, understand what's going wrong!. If I replace the tablet with one of my other MediaTeck phones and type 'fastboot flashing unlock' it works perfectly. What am I doing wrong here?, since I can apparently communicate with the bootloader, but not unlock it?.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
Do you have "OEM unlocking" enabled in the Android Settings?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] SwedishForenger:
Yes, cable and drivers. I do everything I usually do when I flash GSI's ore restore firmware's.

Everything works as it should, and I can communicate with the bootloader, but not unlock it.

The Error message I get is:

FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')

fastboot: error: Command failed

And I know 10000% sure I'm using the right drivers to, because I took the ADB / Bootloader drivers from the manufacturer's own Rescue program that is used for restoring and updating the tablet.

I just can't figure out what the problem is?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
Yes, but you don't say what command you tried there.

abl (i.e. "fastboot") are modified by the OEMs, they can support whatever commands they like.

Maybe "flashing unlock" doesn't work. The "oem" commands can be anything. Maybe it needs an authorization password.

Your issues don't have much to do with this thread topic, maybe you should start a separate thread?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] SwedishForenger:
All the commands I tried are in the first post I sent you.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
So, download your abl, disassemble it and figure out what commands it supports.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] SwedishForenger:
Okay. Haven't done it before, but I'd love to try. I have parts of the firmware.

Which file is it that I need to disassemble?. I have tried to get the Lenovo M10 plus tablet in Brom mode, so I can use MTK tools, but no luck.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
This thread is about a OnePlus Qualcomm phone with booting problems.

You're talking about a Lenovo Mediatek tablet with unlocking problems?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] SwedishForenger:
Well, I'm specifically talking to you, as stated in my furst post. And no one else on XDA seems to have any idea what to do, the thread I found you on became less important. And since I don't know how to send a private pm here on XDA, not found any such button, I write to you on this thread. And you seem to be the only one who can lead me on the right path to solve this problem.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Vovan2k:
I had the same issue, this is the test points for OnePlus 8 Pro.

You can use with regular USB cable (without button), battery need to be connected.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] TheLonelyByte:
Hi, @Renate. Coming right from your DM. I didn't clarified things there. I own an Edge 30 fusion and I think most of the methods you mentioned and are listed on your website are not available on this device cause its flash_locked with an invalid OS, so no adb, no fastboot reboot edl/ reboot-edl, no fastboot oem qcom-on. The only remaining methods would be EDL cable triggering and test points on the motherboard. I already tried the cable method by shorting GND and D+ but didn't worked all day. It only showed the default PID and fastboot device name, and when shorted, didn't even appear on lsusb. I appreciate any help.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
The cable method requires you to reset the device while the cable is shorted. It can be difficult to hit the timing. I made a device to do this automatically. But it still requires the D+ test to be in xbl/sbl or abl.

EDL test points and flash defeat will also work, but require a bit deeper diving.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
Yes, but not at a reasonable cost. :p

I built that only to prove the concept.

Most of my devices are outfitted with a magnetic reed switch across the EDL test points that can be activated externally with a magnet.

Just power down the device entirely, push the button, plug in the EDL cable, wait a few seconds, then release the button.

Or, if you can't fully power down: Hold the cable button, push the power button for 10+ seconds, release power button, wait a few seconds, then release cable button.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] TheLonelyByte:
@Renate It has been a few hours thying to trigger EDL mode but no success still. Im thinking in buying and proper EDL cable but before i buy it, if I managed to enter EDL mode and flash a blank flash, will it change the state of flashing_locked so I can restore ROM properply? Cause some people said it wont, just asking.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
It could be that they didn't enable that test.

It can be very difficult to do some of these things where timing matters.

Even when I know what to do, without a real-time feedback like a boot console it can be hard to see what's going on.

Also, current monitoring gives you real info.

This is a plot of something (I forget what) booting.

You can see what it's doing.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] TheLonelyByte:
I think im going to the last resource and disassemble the phone, I have nothing to lose anymore. But before I buy the tools, do you think a blankflash will restore the fastboot flashing capability?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
I thought that "blankflash" was Motorola terminology?

In any case, that is "preliminary flash" or "just enough flash".

If you do the right one, that should get you fastboot.

If the normal system and the recovery are broken or wrong ones you'll still need some button combo to force it to fastboot.

That's because it might not identify the normal system or recovery as bad and will load it and freeze.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] TheLonelyByte:
I do have a working fastboot, but its kinda without the ability to unlock nor flashing anything. I ask cause searching here on xda and many others sites, I saw many people succeeding on entering EDL mode and doing the blankflash but the flashing capability remained locked. Other guy told me the only fix for this device would be a UFS chip rewriting that would be quite expensive or even impossible on my location.

I believe that some devices have a timeout on Sahara mode.

You have to load a Firehose loader within ~10 seconds or else it reboots.

None of my devices do that. They'll sit there patiently forever.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Nimueh:
Like Renate said - you only have like 10 seconds to do what you need to do. If the MSM tool doesn't get any input by then the phone will restart. Check the guide in the OP forum, it also tells you that ;)
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] aureliolage:
Mine restarts as soon as you plug it into the USB in a few seconds
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Renate:
The USB cable should be plugged in before it even tries to go to EDL mode.

[XPERIA X1 General] SCtud:
Wow - this aebplus is the most useful app I have found for the xperia.. definitely worth the $7 i paid for registration. i hate relying on the touchscreen since one, it is more difficult to find the buttons, and two, the touchscreen doesn't always respond immediately or accurately. navigating using the crappy windows media interface is a thing of the past and works better than inconsistent navigation of the touchflo or spb shell interfaces.

here's how i've set mine up so that i almost never have to use the touchscreen and can do everything in a few button presses

left silver key - press once - opens up messaging to get to e-mails

left silver key - press twice - opens up start menu (can get to the five or so programs stickied there or go to programs and settings with the d-pad)

left silver key - long press - opens up comm manager (not needed much since i can toggle wifi and bluetooth with the action list)

right silver key - press once - MS voice command

right silver key - press twice - open task manager to switch b/w apps

ok button - press twice - opens up action list (rotate screen, toggle bluetooth/wifi, soft reset, turn off

end button - press twice - close active application

might be best to speak to the apps developers to get X1 support built in to allow the panel button remapping.
[XPERIA X1 General] SteWithPDA:
I sent Alexander an email and he answered yesterday. I got the following answer:

My understanding is, that he is not able to solve the problem because the button is processed on driver level. So we have to find a solution to disable this part of the driver which sounds not so easy to handle.... :(

Bad news for me because I didn't use the panels...

stefan

--------------

Hello Stefan,

Thanks, it is always nice to know if you find this utility useful.

As for the “panel” button. The behaviour you describe most likely caused by “panel” button is processed on a driver level. This makes it impossible to disable original functionality by method BPlus uses.

So you could just search for another solution and it probably is in forums already. I have no X1 somewhere around to play with (unfortunately) but could suggest 2 ideas:

-	Usually this “driver-level” functionality finally starts an application placed in /Windows/ folder. You could find this application (or link sometimes) and overwrite with “empty” application or link. Sometime it will require .CAB file creation due to ROM file protection.

-	or default application to run on “panel” press could be specified in registry. Just search the registry for it and change to do nothing.

There are other approaches for “default” action possible but above are most simple and well-known.

Regards,

Alexander
