[Redmi Note 10 Pro] x3r0.13urn:
There's a lot of variables in play here. Recently my friend bought a mint second hand poco f1. It's locked. I thought it's more than 3 years old device, so maybe it would be unlocked instantly -- I was wrong, the tool kept insisting 168 hours. At that point, we were using the 7.3.x official global unlock version.

During the 168 hours:

1. The phone was turn off and turn on randomly

2. Xiaomi account was never log off

3. Sometimes the sim card was ejected, inserted again at random

4. Internet connection was not always on

After 168 hours passed, the weird thing happened. We got this unknown error stating to "Please use the common user tool on the official website". We're using the my account which has already unlocked several phones in the past successfully.

If you search that in google, there's many claimed to solve it, but in our case none of them worked: Those are:

1. Use the older 5.5.x unlock tool, or any older version

2. Eject your phone when unlocking processes goes around 30-50% and plugs it again around 90-99%

The only way which worked was: logged out the xiaomi account, relogin using another account. Then the weird thing happened.

Counter was reset to 168 hours obviously (high chance due to relogin with another account). But since the another account wasn't able to enter the unlock tool (sms OTP never arrived), in second day we decided to logged out that another account and relogin with mine again.

Since the unlock tool seemed store my old verified account (no sms OTP neede,d unlike the other one), I tried to unlock it, hoping would be greeted by 168 hours again. This time, it didn't, and it went straight to unlock without any issue.

There you go. Another weird thing from xiaomi unlock.

Waited 168hours to unlock, then i use the mi unlock, at 99%, it show this...anyone can help? Now im creating new account for mi account, since this account before,i have unlock poco f1, maybe thats why... Im unlocking poco f3 boot loader...latest miui 14... Any suggestion...TQ😭
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] t0masz:
Did you make sure to use the same Xiaomi account on the phone and inside the unlock app?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Pmakaasrul:
Yes indeed i made it same, i wonder why this is happened, now i try to change another mi account, waiting for 2 more days. maybe because last mi account i use to unlock poco f1 before...,i always using same mi account for phones
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] fobtob387:
Xiaomi have currently disabled bootloader unlocking.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
Source please?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] fobtob387:
RN13P Telegram channel shows they disabled it for that phone, I'm just assuming they're doing it for other phones as well.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] lusephur:
Their unlock process page is still live https://en.miui.com/unlock/index.html

Are you sure you or the RN13P telegram channel are not confused?

The forthcoming HyperOS will stop bootloader unlocking and rollbacks, at present.

Also, why is this thread marked "solved" there is no solution to this, leaving it marked as "Solved" will have people thinking, and search-engine spiders reporting, there is a way to bypass the 7 day wait period
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] lusephur:
edit: duplicate post
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
If you do a Google search you will find that Xiaomi updated their unlock policy with HyperOS for China devices.

With these devices it isn't possible in the first place to unlock them, before you have reached stage 5 on the Chinese Mi forum.

After that you may unlock max. 3 devices in a year. After a year you lost your unlock subscription and must start over again. Also HyperOS will not get updates after unlocking.

source

For Global HyperOS users there will be changes too, but it will not totally impossible to unlock in the first place (but I will not guarantee anything at the second place)

source

FWIW

I don't know, for now, what I will do in the future, if it isn't possible anymore to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom rom I like. Maybe it will be a choice for another brand
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] fobtob387:
If you do a Google search you will see that the Redmi Note 13 Pro comes with MIUI and not HyperOS, this issue is happening to global RN13P as well so your statement isn't helpful nor accurate.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] lusephur:
It's the chinese version of the rom, (with English language set) not the global rom version that Xiaomi will not unlock. But so what, this forum is for a different device, and this thread is about someone believing there is a way to bypass the 7 day wait period, which they can not.

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] HiQual:
Sorry this is a bit off topic but I just unlocked my Redmi Pad SE WiFi only (2023) on Hyper os and interestingly the wait time was 72 hrs - 3 days.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
For HyperOS that is correct.

But the wait time after registration of a new Mi account is increased to 30days

[Touch Pro CDMA] bombzhome:
Hey guys,

I have a couple of things that bother me about this phone. I didn't have these problems when I first got it so I'm trying to figure out why this happens.

First off, when I get a phone call, sometimes I can't answer it. I will be pressing the Answer button both on the screen and the actual hardware key... it will never go to the connected call button even though it shows I'm in call.

Next is the issue I have with the End Button. Sometimes I accidently press it and it terminates my data connection. Is there anyway to make the End key serve as just a hang-up/go back to the home screen type key? I would love to see this issue fixed.

Thanks for your time.

*UPDATE* : I just realized that when I'm in a data connection, it sometimes won't let me answer or I will have to press Answer 30 times for it to get into a call. It seems like a very slow transition from Data to Voice. Any ideas?
[Touch Pro CDMA] sarinhighwind:
You can set the end key to do other things in the settings menu someplace. Look for it. Have it give you a list, instead of doing an automatic feature.
[Touch Pro CDMA] bombzhome:
I just did a hard reset and it fixed everything.

[G1 General] brooklynite:
Are there are any DIVX players for the G1?

I am surprised there isnt any search results for DIVX on this, isnt anyone interested in using the G1 to watch movies?
[G1 General] brooklynite:
Ok, I noticed a new software (oops a new APP) called Cinema on the market today and I downloaded it. It is supposed to play h.264 and MP4 files, which I have some regular movies (700MB ones) and it does not play those but I have a few low-res ones (160x120) that it does play but jittery. The screen actually looks beautiful and the sound is not jittery but the screen jerks and pauses and you cant get to crop, zoom, aspect ratio, or any of that good stuff to make it fit nicely on the screen. The file extension HAS to be .mp4 for it to show on the list to open. Not too easy for me where my entire collection has a .avi extension.

It is a good start though and a long way from the two original Video players, PLAYS VIDEO and Video Player that played nothing for me at all, not even SHOWED files with .mp4 extension.
[G1 General] neoobs:
Video Player worked perfectly for me but Cinema doesn't detect the same .mp4... We will see much better things in the coming months. I am sure we can even ask DIVX to think about making a player, that would be cool.
[G1 General] brooklynite:
4 Months into Andriod and I am losing hopes that we will ever see any support other than the mp4 format. No Divx or any other formats.... I think Google has made it either impossible or very difficult to do anything other than mp4s.
[G1 General] numerik:
Google keeps as much of the Android source under the BSD license as it can. There's some LGPL stuff in there like parts of Webkit and, of course, the linux kernel but that code has to be kept separate from the BSD licensed code. They do this to entice companies to use it because the BSD license allows any one to use the source code without requiring them to release the source of any changes they made to it. However, if a phone manufacturer has to modify the linux kernel, or any other LGPL code, to get it to work on their hardware then they are required to make the source available for those changes. Most companies would not be happy with having to make their source code available so making the Android platform available under BSD makes it much more attractive.

To that end Android needed to have as much of its core components under the BSD license as it possibly could, and that includes the multimedia subsystem. The multimedia system is called OpenCORE and was contributed by PacketVideo. They and other contributing members of the OHA have all agreed to license their code under BSD meaning that any one can take their work and use it in their own projects without having to contribute any thing back. That's no small thing to ask when those OHA members could have licensed that software for a fee instead of giving it away for free.

The reason we can't play some formats like DivX and WMV is because there is no BSD licensed software available that can be included in the Android core. There's plenty of LGPL projects around but an Android developer recently posted on their android-platform group that dealing with licensing issues for Webkit and bluez was extremely painful so I doubt we'll be seeing any of those making it into the core platform.

Another problem is that Google still has not made a native code SDK available. Everything has to be written using the Java SDK and although they attempt to optimize it as much as possible it's still not a fast as native code. Their security model depends on sandboxing applications using the Dalvik VM and native code applications would break that model. Unfortunately, most video decoders would suffer from poor performance if they had to run through the VM. A native SDK is essential for getting these and other CPU intensive tasks (like emulators! I long for a good SNES emulator on this phone) to run well.

So yes Google has made it hard to play video that's not MP4 but it's not because they're trying to be dicks about it.
[G1 General] brooklynite:
WOW this is probably the best answer I have received on this site since I became a member. I guess I was just naive when I thought Google claiming "open source" means easy programming. What I didnt know is that the Google version of open sourse is nothing like Microsoft Windows which is truly open and free to programmers. I wish Google would just charge $50 for the OS and leave it truly OPEN to write programs, or I guess, apps. This whole applet, app, gadget and supposed simplifying thing on the internet is just making it dumber. It seems like Google "open source" means if you want to write a map program with Google maps, its extremely easy and ready made, if you want to use Yahoo maps, mapquest, Microsoft maps etc, its practically impossible. Sooner or later, people would know and stop using andriod.
[G1 General] numerik:
Once upon a time I decided to replace my faithful Treo 650 with a Sprint Mogul. When I looked at the specs of the Mogul from an HTC press release I saw that it had an ATI GPU for 3d acceleration so I thought it was going to be a decent phone. When I got it and started playing with it I noticed that it had really poor performance when playing video. I've played DivX movies using TCPMP without having to re-encode them to lower bit rates or scaled down and that was on a 312Mhz CPU with 32MB of RAM (only 23 of which was actually available). All of those same files were unwatchable on the Mogul. We know now, of course, that the reason was in HTC's poor driver support. Some were able to hack together some drivers for phones like the Kaiser using files ripped from other devices but the Mogul never did get working drivers. The funny thing is that in one of the threads discussing this someone mentioned that the Android source code repository had a linux kernel driver for the same ATI chip and wondered if it could be used to write a working Windows Mobile driver. Windows Mobile truly open and free? Are you sure about that?

Writing a map program using Google Maps is easy to do because Google built the API into the SDK. You might just as well complain that Microsoft doesn't make writing a map program in Windows Mobile using Google Maps easy. Nothing stops Microsoft, Yahoo, or Mapquest from writing software for the Android OS or providing an API for their services.

I wouldn't give up on it just yet. Adobe announced that Android will have Flash and there's zero chance of them releasing it under BSD as part of Android OS and unless they've discovered some way to massively speed up the Dalvik VM that means that Google is allowing native code to execute within the Android environment; and plugged in to the browser no less. My guess for the reason we haven't seen Flash yet is that Adobe is waiting on Google to make the necessary changes to the underlying architecture that will allow this to happen. The good news is that if its available to Adobe, then native code execution will be available to all and you'll start seeing more interesting apps.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] JohnFawkes:
So i have the tmo op 9 pro and I used to make cross flash zips for the lg v30 and op 7 pro sprint. I wanted to do the same for this device as well but since the bootloader unlock is a little different, I had some questions. Since I was able to bootloader unlock by bypassing the sim unlock the using MSM to convert to EU I was worried I would lose the bootloader unlock in the process of this. Basically I want to take a stock tmo payload.bin from A11 and then unpack it and use the imgs inside (minus the device specific ones of course) and make a twrp flashable zip so I can go back to TMO firmware. What I'm worried about is since I didn't sim unlock I would lose the bootloader unlock in the process. Any thoughts on this?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] JohnFawkes:

[OnePlus 9 Pro] yesca213:
I'm wondering the same thing. I'm on tmo op9 pro as well. Unfortunately it updated to a12. I got oem unlock button when that update came tho, but it still asks for the unlock.bin... I put in for my unlock code to op, got it back but haven't tried anything yet. I also do not have SIM unlock as it hasn't been 40 days of activation yet, and the phone is not paid off. I was also an op7 user and it was way easier to get this done. I would like to have root again soon.....
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy BadZero:
I had bought an LG G4 back at 2016 and after 10 months the bootloop issue appeared, so I always wanted to use the phone so last month I ordered a motherboard from aliexpress that was supposed to be an H815. So i tried UsU and it said that the ARB was 3 and the model was H811 but the system reads H815 and it doesn't let me to enable OEM unlock as the moment i turn it on it unticks itself right after. Is there a possible way to make it appear as an all around H811 by maybe deleting system partition and flash an H811 KDZ with ARB v3 so i can root it with fastboot unlock?

Thank you for your time reading this.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mkhcb:
So I stumbled upon this thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-remove-unlocked-bootloader-warning.4069207/

The flash script reads:

package_extract_file("files/abl.elf", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/abl_a");

package_extract_file("files/abl.elf", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/abl_b");

On my root explorer, I am able to see both these files by navigating to /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/

So my question is, how do we edit abl_a and abl_b for our phones, to remove the warning screen?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Interesting. If these files/partitions serve the same purpose on the Pixel as they do on Xiaomi, then there's hope. I'd find it amazing if this was possible on the Pixel that no one would have found this yet - unless the solution just wouldn't work on the Pixel. I have no idea if you can safely replace those files on the Pixel with the same example that is included in the flashable zip with ADB either with the system booted or in recovery mode.

I found the files to be actually inside:

/dev/block/platform/14700000.ufs/by-name/

through X-Plore File Manager, but the "/dev/block/bootdevice/" does exist and redirects to "/dev/block/platform/14700000.ufs/".
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mkhcb:
/Tad off topic: I am using Material Files (found on F-Droid - free and open source). Material Files has true root file explorer, unlike many file explorers and comes ad-free and fully functional!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dragynbane222:
I would strongly recommend against this unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing. You can render your device permanently hard bricked if you effort the bootloader even slightly wrong.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I agree with @dragynbane222. Unless you're prepared to RMA your device, I wouldn't attempt it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mkhcb:
This is exactly why I have not even attempted to research this any further. I was simply asking the dev community for their input.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
As other people have mentioned, it is theoretically possible, but you can easily hardbrick your device.

On many Android versions, it was possible to adjust this warning via setting certain permissions manually (I haven't seen an attempt with A12 yet). Oddly enough, some people have reported (over the years) that such a module/mod worked without problem, whilst other had "random" hardbricks, even though they - as far as I recall - claimed that they did not deviate from instructions, and had the same devices with stock firmware. Meaning even if someone would provide you with such a file that you could add via terminal (su) or other means, and even if a dozen people here would claim it works on their end, it could still easily brick your device for reasons we do not understand. So I'd just step away from that thought and even if someone would provide a solution, to not use it. I've never seen any explanation as to why some devices bricked, and some did not, so that's danger-danger.

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Deleted member 2092952:
Standby uses about 1% for every two hours for me with Always On Display. That is always my benchmark even for my last Samsung. There's something using battery wildly if it goes too high after some many hours or even within one hour.

A hint there, try rebooting 3 times in an hour or so. My last Samsung had an issue where normally one reboot would fix the battery drain but it would every now and then require two more to fix the drain.

The battery use stats might help you narrow down to something but if not then you have to factory reset or disable or remove stuff. If its with the rom then it gets more difficult.

If you are seeing the 1% standby for even an hour or two then it should be fine there and the drain is only while the screen is on.

You might also be able to spot certain things the the logcat.

I would get the N10+ running on Android 10, no higher. Other than the smoothness of the display and the slight cam improvements it's a better phone.
