[LG V20 Questions & Answers] SidneyD:
I more or less understand what a KDZ is, and how to flash it with LGUP. I also sorta understand that a TWRP flashable .zip file is basically just an archive of a bunch of .img files that TWRP (magically) knows where to flash to on the device. So I can get a KDZ for the stock ROM from LG, or I can get a .zip of a custom ROM such as LineageOS. However I've also seen .zips of stock ROMs such as in this thread by dudeawsome.

What I want to know is, is there a way to convert an official KDZ to a .zip file that TWRP can flash? I'm assuming that is what's done to make a stock ROM available in a convenient .zip format for use in TWRP, but I'd like to know the details of the process. The closest I've found is something called KDZZ by weakNPCdotCom, but it appears that it no longer works and is discontinued.

I want to be able to take any official KDZ and convert it to a TWRP-friendly zip. I also want to remove the laf and recovery images as well since I don't want TWRP overwritten. Can anyone give me the lowdown on this?
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] Doxmey:
So I recently bricked my moto g5s xt1792 trying to downgrade to stock 7.0. So I found a blankflash that worked after many many hours looking for one, now that I'm able to send fastboot commands seems that all my partitions are gone or something like that. This is what happens when i try to flash a stock 8.1.0 rom.

Spoiler content hidden.

Another thing is that my bootloader is now locked and i can't get it to unlock because I don't have an OS installed to goto developer's options and activate the unlock oem. This is what happens when I try to unlock the bootloader.

Spoiler content hidden.

I also tried to boot to twrp and I can't do it.

Spoiler content hidden.

I've tried to flash only the partition with no luck.

Spoiler content hidden.

So I'm in need of help I really don't know how to proceed I've searched a lot, basically all day today. I was wondering if I did the SD card method that I was supposed to do when I hard bricked it if it will work.

OKAY I GOT THIS WORKING

Basically I had to find an newer version of security patch to flash my partitions so I tried many gpt.bin till i found one that went through. Here's the logs for anyone with the same problem.

Spoiler content hidden.

It's crazy I almost thought I had lost my phone.

So I imagine there's a lot of people looking for a way to fix this. So here are the link of the files I used.

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Sharkawika:
Hey (*´∇`)ﾉ

So I guess my redmi note 10 pro is hard bricked

Condition : Phone won't boot to fastboot or recovery. Phone won't turn on. Phone is on EDL mode by default and reads on 9008 port.

Case : I unlocked the bootloader and flashed custom recovery then loaded a custom rom on an external usb hard drive. I connected the usb to the phone OTG then flashed the custom rom from it through custom recovery. The flash failed for some reason and the phone hard bricked. (Didn't have root)

Solutions I have tried:

1- flashing fastboot rom with latest MiFlash and got edl authorization error.

2- flashing fastboot rom with old MiFlash and got edl authorization error again.

3- searching for Firehose file for the phone and I found none.

4- flashing fastboot rom with latest QFIL and no luck.

Any heads up for your brother and I'll be grateful.

1)Does the phone get to proper fastboot with logo? Or to something else?

2) Edl usually requires authorization

3) Have you tried asking ROM creator for help?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] HiQual:
Try flashing the standard Xiaomi MIUI Full ROM via MiFlash to see if you can boot the phone to System. Then go custom ROM from there.

Good luck.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] doughnut9:
Well, can see it's claimed but you can never be too sure about it can you? Or did you get that link from a trusted source. Unless it's from a trusted source I wouldn't flash it.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Sharkawika:
1- Unfortunately no fastboot with logo nor anything else but Edl.

2- So no work around?

3- No I haven't, but. That sounds like a good idea.

I just reinstalled my OS on my laptop and i must not have backed up my outlook contacts properly cause they were not importing from the file that i thought had them. i had them all on my phone and thought i could transfer from the phone TO Outlook. I was trying to check the settings in activesync to make sure it doesn't just delete the phone contacts with the blank outlook database, but before i looked it had already deleted everything, leaving me now with zero copies of my contacts. Is there any way at all to retrieve the contacts from somewhere in the phone or am i dead in the water? Thanks in advance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ultramag69:
Contacts ALL gone.... :(

You need to use Pim Backup in case of these events. Its freeware and available on the forum.

Hi my Oneplus 9 pro is bricked

I tried to use the MSMM Download tool and it throwing the follow error IMEI is Incorret! report is not generated!

first I tried to flash this https://xdaforums.com/t/convert-t-mobile-oneplus-9-to-global-or-other-firmware.4277169/ but I didnt noticed it was for oneplus 9 version and not pro. but it never work.

the steps were,

unlock the bootloader with the unlock code rom oneplus and tmobile.

tried to install twrp, I managed to boot it with fastboot boot twrp.img. but when i tried to flash it it get me errors.

tried to install a global version using fastboot flash script i found but it was for oneplus 9. i really didnt tried to executed the .bat file to run the code. just read the code inside but it executed and mess up the phone, i must have disconnected my phone previously.

because the phone didnt start anymore, and only was recognize with the qualcomm drivers I tried to use it with the https://xdaforums.com/t/op9pro-repository-of-msm-unbrick-tools-tmo-eu-glo-in.4272549/ guide.

I look into option and checked save flash report. and i start getting imei incorrect error.

if i removed that option i got stuck in the sahara comunnication error always in the sec 18 when it start download the firehose. but i tried to all the trick here and none of that works. I using the original usb cord, window 10, have the qualcomm drivers installed. I downloaded the MSMM tool for oneplus 9pro tmobile version

You have to give us some context about how you ended up in this state if you expect help :)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Shadowskill29:
I added more info.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] HessNL:
Exactly he must have tried the other methods first that you lose your IMEI 😂
[OnePlus 9 Pro] cproo12:
Did you ever flash using SMT Download mode? That will wipe IMEI
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
I had the same issue, bricked TMO oneplus 9 pro, found thread that said to use the India MSM tool, then had to use a modded msm tool to get back to TMO but now my TargetID is IN and stock TMO MSM tool fails with the IMEI is Incorret! report is not generated! However I checked my IMEI and it is correct. Sometimes I get "unsupported TargetID IN" what do you guys think. The India MSM tool apparently changed something on my phone and I am having trouble trying to find what has been changed and where on my phone!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ChrisFeiveel84:
why don't you ask the modder of the msm tool??? I think that the modded msm tool has changed the param partition where your oneplus now appears as an india model
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Mr Hassan:
Same error was me 😪😪
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
No, I had bricked my phone and was told to use the Indian MSM tool and that is when all this started....the modded tool got me back to TMO firmware but still the phone is identified as IN.....
[OnePlus 9 Pro] razercortex:
Unfortunately, once you use that tool, your phone is irreversibly marked as Indian model. There's no way to change it back, at least for now. Read the thread for the modded MSM, it says the same thing and I've had to do similar. This is the best you'll get.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
In the mean time, I am working on trying to find the flag or what ever it is that is causing this issue by searching every file and its' content for key words on this phone.....patience is the vertue to success and some determination thrown in!😂
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Edwinsagain:
My TMobile oneplus 9 pro is giving me the same IMEI is incorrect error message, but I'm stuck in edl black screen boot loop or something
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
How many times have you used the MSM tool? Have you ever used the Indian MSM tool?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Edwinsagain:
I have used the msm tool several times and no I have not used the Indian version at all. What happened is I was in the process of using the MSM tool when my phone got unplugged from the computer somehow and this is when it gave me the black screen and it's locked in the EDL boot loop or whatever..
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Edwinsagain:
Sorry I'm new
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Press and hold vol up and down and power all at the same time to see if you can get to fastboot/bootloader......
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Edwinsagain:
I have tried that, it don't ever vibrate or the screen don't flash, it will alert me when connected to my laptop, but then it is just in a constant black screen boot loop
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
If it is just a black screen, how do you know it is in a bootloop?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Edwinsagain:
Because the laptop keeps making the connected and unconnected sound
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
About every 10 seconds?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Edwinsagain:
I tried to write my IMEI number using this https://androidmtk.com/download-qualcomm-smartphone-write-imei-tool and it stops the boot loop but the screen stays black
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Edwinsagain:
Correct
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Start the MSM tool, uncheck the sha256, check use lite firehose, then click start. From the sound your phone is going into edl mode and if it doesn't connect within 10 seconds it leaves edl and tries to boot but can't and goes back to edl mode. At some point the MSM tool should start flashing
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Edwinsagain:
Param preload failed but it is still connected
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Edwinsagain:
It's not in a boot loop either
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Edwinsagain:
It is in red but it is at 510 seconds and counting
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Also should have said device not match image on the right... Correct
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Edwinsagain:
Negative,
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Edwinsagain:
Sorry it's such poor quality
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
And your using the TMO MSM tool? As bad as I hate to suggest it, you may have to go the Indian MSM tool route and then proceed from there.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
The Indian MSM tool will work.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Edwinsagain:
I think I'm going to let it sit till the battery drains and see if that does anything for it...?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Edwinsagain:
I really, sincerely appreciate all your help
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
You are most welcome. If we were neighbors, it would be fixed already, 😁
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Edwinsagain:
I don't wanna "speak to soon" but , "🤞" I think I fixed it, I was using the TMobile to Eu MSM tool when it went was unplugged, so I thought I'll just try every MSM tool available, and I got to the eu version and I set the target as eu and hit start, it went to about 6 sec and param preload failed, I thought well that's great but something told me to hit stop and then start it again and reboot to edl "by unplugging and replugging up the phone" and it went to downloading super.img
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Yahoooo
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Edwinsagain:
So far so good
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
If you are wanting to go Global, I believe you have to install the updater app and use it to choose the version to install like the Global version.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Next steps will be to unlock bootloader if not already done, then adb reboot bootloader, fastboot boot name_of_your_twrp.img, from there in twrp install magisk, boot to system and launch magisk to finish getting root. Unlocking bootloader will factory reset your phone...

On my home screent has the normal 3-button navigation bar at the bottom but moves it off to the right and adds toolbar launch buttons in the middle. Is there a way to bring back just the normal old Android navigation buttons without the added stuff?

NEVER lock a phone with custom firmware installed. This usually leads to bootloops.

No, I Didn't try to lock the bootloader with a custom firmware.
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] arsradu:
What are the steps you took before relocking the bootloader?

In my experience, relocking the bootloader should be the last thing you do, after you've got a working/bootable stock ROM.
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] raphaelgamer981:
So, after i installed the latest stock rom, the device worked normally, but after waiting a while for the oem lock option appear in development options, it din´t show up. so i just gave up and installed lineage 19.1 but if i can i want to lock the bootloader again.
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] arsradu:
Raphael, I think you might have quoted my post twice, but didn't add an actual answer. Or maybe I'm super blind and I can't see it. :)
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] raphaelgamer981:
ohh sorry, i tried replying to your post in my ipad 3 and it din´t show up any caracters.
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] arsradu:
So, the OEM lock/unlock thing comes with a pretty big caveat, and you need to be aware of it: loss of data.

Every time you lock or unlock your bootloader, a wipe data is triggered.

Now, for as far as I know, to lock the bootloader, you need two things:

1. Stock ROM. Don't do this on a custom ROM!

2. following command, in Terminal/Cmd Prompt

fastboot oem lock

Of course, you need to be in fastboot mode, so if you're not, and if you're booted and connected via USB (USB debugging needs to be ON and RSA fingerprinting accepted), do:

adb devices

It should display your device here. This is just to make sure ADB is working properly.

adb reboot bootloader

At this point, the phone should reboot into bootloader, so now you can do the lock command

fastboot oem lock

Data should be erased and, in case it doesn't automatically boot up, you can reboot the phone.

Don't worry about the OEM unlocking option in Developer Options. You just make sure the stock ROM is functional before attempting to relock the bootloader.
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] raphaelgamer981:
I tried that, and it din´t work, this method is the same that was in a help thread in xda forum of my device, this command works fine in my nexus 6, but on my moto one action it does not, i unlocked my bootloader via the normal method using motorola´s website, not using another method.
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] arsradu:
But why do you say it didn't work? Do you get an error at any point during the process?
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] raphaelgamer981:
no, i run the command and it asks for changing the oem lock setting in developer options, i reboot the phone and run through the setup process. Then when i enable developer options and check the oem lock option, it is greyed out.
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] arsradu:
Is it greyed out in the on or off position? Can you attach a screenshot? I don't remember the operations sequence... But I think the option was automatically switched back to the original position (off) when you lock the bootloader. I could be wrong though. So...when you run the "fastboot oem lock" command, it asks you to....what?

Set the option to on or off? Some screenshots from both the PC, with the message, and the developer options might help to clarify this.
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] raphaelgamer981:
it is greyed in the on position, i can´t add a screenshot because i am in lineage 19.1 with root and the option shows up,when i run the command in cmd, it says to me to check the oem lock option in developer options
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] arsradu:
A screenshot would be really useful. But don't worry about it. When you're back to stock rom and ready to lock your bootloader, we can resume this then. I think either we're missing something, or it's everything ok, and you just need to switch that option off. Though, I remember I didn't have to do it manually. But I could be wrong though.

So, don't worry. Enjoy LineageOS and we can resume this when you're back to stock ROM and ready to lock. :)
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] raphaelgamer981:
ok thanks for your help!
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] raphaelgamer981:
hello, so i want to lock the bootloader again, how do i install the stock rom back?
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] raphaelgamer981:
so after running the fastboot oem lock command, it asked this in the cmd

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem lock

...

(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Android Settings > Developer

(bootloader) Options

OKAY [ 0.080s]

finished. total time: 0.080s

when i rebooted the phone, it showed the screen saying that the bootloader was unlocked. also i had to re run the command because it was going to erase my phone but that din´t happend, after going to developer options the option was still greyed out.
[Motorola One Action Questions & Answers] equilibriumer:
The last 3 days i've tried some roms from here.first i've unlocked the bootloader in developer menu,then from fastboot with the unlock key provided by motorola website,i've tried different rom,didnt like that i cannot use bank apps.so i went for locking.full reset,adb enable,reboot bootloader,full flash stock rom (last one from Motorola),reboot to check,adb enable, reboot bootloader,run command " fastboot oem lock " once ,it asked for confirmation due to data loss,then run command " fastboot oem lock " once more,then reboot to os.everything went ok,device dont show that was unlocked

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] merkman:
So I bought my Touch Cruise a couple months after launch. I knew 3D drivers weren't available, and that I wasn't buying an iPhone that has better video playback. Instead, I bought the best phone at the time with the Windows Mobile OS, so I could tether, play music, take calls through my car stereo, and so much more.

Since the whole 3D Driver thing has been going on, I've been waiting to hear just what it's good for. I mean HTC 3D *is* nicer than Manilla 2D, but I'm still running Syrius R0 since it does nearly everything I want, and I feel it has less issues I notice than R1 or R2.

But obviously the best video playback possible is a nice touch. Especially if I don't have to convert movies to a specific format for a specific player just to watch them once on my cell phone. So what's the best solution?

Is EVERYONE using ONE movie player, and one software package to convert videos at this point? Or are there still too many conversion packages, and everyone has a favorite player? Here's hoping this thread clears up some of my confusion, and might help a few other people as well. Thanks for your time.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] @lber:
I think the best Free player is TCPMP on WMobile devices. There is a special version patched for wm6.1 in this forum.

This player accepts a lot of video files which can be shrinked with PocketDivxEncoder (also free).

There is also CorePlayer, the commercial successor of TCPMP, which has optimisations for Qualcomm hardware, and can handle File Library. It can play even more file formats than TCPMP and also supports online streams.
