have you tried the motorola tool to image your phone? not fastboot?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] abrouni:
I bricked my LG G8s Thinq by following this method:​

after flashing the abl_*.bin files, the phone didn't enter to fastboot. i wanted to power it off and abandonne the process to save my phone; but No..... the phone is not working anymore. the only thing i could make with it is to enter to EDL mode by pressing the (power - and +) which shows me my phone in COM port (​

Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 )​

i treid to restore my abl_a and abl_b which i already sauvegarded but nothing happen..​

can someone help me to fix things out. i don't want to root my phone anymore. i just want to save my phone .​
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] onstrike112:
You might be able to save it by pressing and holding vol - and power until the bootscreen and release and click them three times. It might bring up an option to factory reset. Follow the process to do so, and see if it works.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] abrouni:
didn't work i did it several times and nothing happen
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] onstrike112:
It worked on my G8 ThinQ, try to just click the buttons over and over instead of just 3 times.

[Redmi 9A Questions & Answers] ignaty_b:
i've got a hardbrick after installing global 12.0.10.0.

i can't boot into fastboot or recovery, it's just a black screen. adb and xiaomitools v2 not recognising it whatsoever

it vibrates if you hold voldown and power, but nothing happens. is it dead?
[Redmi 9A Questions & Answers] Gigaachad:
Ye thats a hardbrick,

start by installing this

REDMI+9C+NO+AUTH.zip

drive.google.com

Then unzip it and install :

1.

New QcomMtk_Driver_Setup_V2.0.1.1

2.

libusb-win32-devel-filter-1.2.6.0

After installing libusb-win32.....) at the end of the installation there will be a check box called " launch filter installer wizard". Check the box and hit ok

A new window will appear with 3 checkboxes, click on "Install a device filter" and click next.

A new window will appear and there will be a list of ID's depending on what you have installed, now carefully observe what ID's you have.

Now connect your phone and hold the + and - button together and for second youll see the libusb window update and a new device will be added to the list, it will be named MediaTek USB Port_Vxxxx), quickly click on it and hit the install button (SOMETIMES the device might NOT show as mediatek port and something as usb device, so make sure to select the right one.)

then open the bypass tool, click bypass and then repeat the process by holding the + and - button together and the bypass tool will show protection bypassed.

then open sp tool find the scatter file in your fastboot rom (official MIUI Rom)

you can get the rom from here:

https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/ (Make sure to install the fastboot version and not the recovery one.)

the DA (Download Agent) and auth file are located in the zip itself .

make sure to select firmware upgrade and then flash it.
[Redmi 9A Questions & Answers] ignaty_b:
hold the + and - button together and for second youll see the libusb window update and a new device will be added to the list,

yes, it does appear, but not for a second. it disappears instantly, i can't even read the title of it :(
[Redmi 9A Questions & Answers] ignaty_b:
um, so, it's dead?
[Redmi 9A Questions & Answers] Gigaachad:
hmm try it again, keep on holding the volume button, if not then we can try another method (MTK client)
[Redmi 9A Questions & Answers] ignaty_b:
fixed it by dissasembling phone and deattaching battery. then did all the steps again.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] mimimui:
I'm waiting for my fold 4 to arrive next week, have ordered some nice skin from sopiguard. I'm thinking about using skins but not case as the Fold 4 itself is already bulky enough to have more more layer on it. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] eswar539:
if you tend to drop your phone a lot like me then get a case or samsung adld insurance or else they gonna charge another phone amount to repair it
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Illusive Man:
I would love to have only a skin on mine, but I work in a warehouse and need all of the protection I can get. I opted for a bulky case (in my mind bulk is protection). I went with the UB Pro. When I had my Zfold3, it fell off a forklift and sustained no damage. Just consider your lifestyle before making the decision between a skin and a case.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Robson:
happened yesterday when i went to the mall with my son. dropped by jb hifi before going to eb games as he wanted to buy something. saw someone looking at the fold on display and was contemplating on getting it. i guess the guy beside him overhead and he took out his fold to show it. i guess he was overly enthusiastic and he dropped it right off. i'm currently using a neoprene sleeve while i waited for the case i ordered arrive. but after seeing what happened, i went straight to the local phone shop stall and bought one immediately. didn't leave the shop until i had the case on.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] keokia:
Personally I tend to use a case (stylus) for work or the flap piece when out and about, but I go caseless when I'm home or any chance I can. I've thought about just getting a skin but the last time I did that it was a pocket magnet and was always cleaning the edges.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] rachelagnes110:
Cases are just an extra step towards protection. Not that skins dont offer protection, they do indeed protect the device from scratches but a high impact on the device could probably cause an issue. It depends on the intensity of the drop. Even if you drop your phone multiple times but the intensity or drop height is low, Skins would take care of the impact. Cases mainly do their work for higher drop heights which are unlikely to happen at all times. The drops are usually from the height of your pocket or a desk so some good quality Skins and Screen Protector should take care of it. I use Skins cause I hate the feeling of a bulky device and Ive dropped my phone multiple times but havent faced any major damage. Most times, sides of the phone take the initial impact which are covered by Skins, so there are no scratches.

Ive used dbrand and Gadgetshieldz but I prefer GS more since they are way more affordable for the same quality thats offered by dbrand. Screen Protectors are also from GS since they have a Matte option and for all parts of the device. Ive covered the Camera lens and Screen with the Screen Protector and the rest are wrapped with Skins.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] EranNavick:
SKins vs. Cases debate is as old as the first fold phone out.. I have several cases, and they do a good job, but I hate all of them. With a bulky (when folded) phone, adding a case makes things worse but here are the advantages:

1. Protection when dropping the phone (dah)

2. Pen holder (if the case supports it)

3. Most cases have a better grip and help opening to the inner screen, unlike having a smooth metal lip to work with.

and they are SOOOO ugly and thick (even the 'slim' ones)

I use skins, most of the time , because they are allowing me using a much thinner phone. I do take the risk of dropping the phone, and the fact skins have more traction help me not to have the phone slip out of my hand. In 8 months, I did drop the phone twice, and it survived the falls. I guess I am careful and lucky at the same time..

So the answer is pretty much individual - Do you tend to make your phone fly out of hand normally? based on your own 'history' - did you ever break a phone dropping it? That is sort of predictive answer regarding skin vs. a case..
[OPPO Find X5 Pro Questions & Answers] Dax1983:
My favorite is the large folders. I can keep all games in one folder and enlarge it. I don't even have to open the folder to choose a game I want to play, I can just scroll through.

I want to hear it from the ColorOS 13 beta users.

What is your favorite feature?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] nirurin:
Wondering what the actual difference is between them. I am hesitant to go deep into trying them as I'm still setting up other stuff on the phone, and I don't want to bork something, but eventually I'll probably try them both. Was just wondering before I do what the actual pros/cons are of them. They seem to... imply they do similar things, but the examples are few and far between (especially on the samsprung one).
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] sheridan2000:
both quite buggy and sometimes work and sometimes dont....nice idea for both but not the easiest to navigate....gave up in the end as both just not quite there yet....give them a try and if you dont like them just uninstall.....simples...HTH
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] mt2020:
I know about CoverOs, what's the other one?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] Bxrider117:
You can also use the Good luck app and download multistar and it allows you to put a widget that holds five icons that you can activate on the cover screen for the galaxy flip 4. When you download the app just click on the iHeart foldable and it'll be right there
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] Vikram878:
Thanks for the tips!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] HDCowboy:
I remember I tried them (or at least one of them) when I first got my Flip 3 and you had to delete Samsung Health, has that ever changed? I kind of like using that Samsung Health sometimes!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] nirurin:
Samsprung TooUI

This is the one that used to require deleting the health app, in order to take over the widget spot. However... I assume this isn't needed for either of the current launchers?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] twistedumbrella:
SamSprung TooUI never required deleting Samsung Health and could never be added to the widget list. It was the Z Flip 3 Launcher, which was remade into SamSprung, that could replace Samsung Health to run as a widget. Somehow, a year later and having posted it everywhere, we still get people asking why SamSprung is not in the widget list and why they had to remove Samsung Health.

Both have very extensive bug reporting features, or at least I assume because most of what I add has been mimicked. I can't speak for the other one, but if you reported it on SamSprung, then it was investigated.

https://github.com/SamSprung/SamSprung-TooUI/wiki has a bunch of information and being the first of its kind to release, SamSprung was used in a lot of videos on how to run apps on the cover screen (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=SamSprung). Most of the videos are a bit dated, so again there is no deleting Health and no widget (Android 11 loophole). It gives you the general idea, though.

https://xdaforums.com/t/samsprung-tooui-cover-screen-home-free-zf4.4484079/ is the thread for SamSprung on Z FLip 4. I can't really give you a comparison, though. The short version is that I started an open-source project to compensate for a shortcoming that got played off as an "original" idea for profit. Rather than stress about it, I ignored the author.

Best thing to do is try any that seem interesting and if there is one you like that has an issue, see if you can get it fixed or deal with it before moving on to your second choice. The only one that really "is what it is" is good lock because they are affiliated with Samsung and still hijacking the widgets. For some, that is an advantage. For others, it's restrictive.

I have tried CoverScreen OS from @jagan2 and it`s really as best as it can get!

It transforms the coverscreen to a full fuctional ... mini phone.

i'm trying PAMAS glass slider cab but my slider has shifted to the right,anyway to recenter it?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] excarnate:
I've read thread after thread and as best I can tell there is an EU version, a global version, an India version, and the T-Mobile version. The radios on the non-T-Mobile versions are different than the T-Mobile version (or so it seems).

What I have is a OnePlus Nine Pro from Amazon, fully unlocked, T-Mobile version. Works fine for me on T-Mobile. What I want is the unlocked firmware, as if I bought it in the US directly from OnePlus. Like the Nine that I got directly from OnePlus that I am returning because I want the telephoto lens and a couple other improvements the Pro has.

Since someone may ask, here is why:

Avoid bright magenta startup screen

Get patches more quickly

Get round icons

Debloated (esp. Qualcomm)

The feel of the phone, to me, is less than the Nine with stock unlocked firmware

The dialer is better on stock OOS 12

I don't want to lose the radio, I don't need an International version, I plan to stick with T-Mobile, so it seems like it should be easy, but I can't find the firmware. If the global version is the same as the unlocked, fine, but do I have to do weird things to keep the US compatible radio (like I read in various threads)?

Hardware version 22, software LE2127_11_C.19, if it matters.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Sorry, but if it is T-Mobile carrier, you have to unlock the bootloader with a token. There is a XDA thread on unlocking the T-Mobile bootloader if you are on a branded LE2127 model phone.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] excarnate:
I'm asking about obtaining the North American stock unlocked version of the firmware, not about unlocking a phone that is "fully unlocked".
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
If you install any firmware such as the North American (Global) once the rom is installed you have to go into fastboot mode to unlock the bootloader. No rom comes unlocked....sorry!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
This is what you want. Anything else and you risk breaking the radio.

Convert your T-Mobile (LE2127) to EU via MSM, No unlock.bin needed!

*** Use this at your very own risk. *** You will lose all data *** Backup your working modemst1/2 and persist. If you lose these for any reason, it's unique to your device and not recoverable if you didn't back up (via MSM or other people). ***...

xdaforums.com
[OnePlus 9 Pro] excarnate:
I'm confused. Is the EU version the same as the unlocked version as sold in NA directly from OPO?

[edit], Yes I had read that and don't want to have to screw around with the modems; on the Nine I had several OTAs after unboxing it, the modem just kept working (on T-Mobile, who is my carrier). That page you reference says "You must flash the T-Mobile modem after every OTA" which is not interesting to me. And it talks about dual SIM, which I believe the NA unlocked version does not have (at least the 9 does not). So there is a firmware out there, presumably, that is different.

If I spent the extra money that I don't have on a new Nine Pro straight from OPO, I'd have the firmware I want. Instead I need to flash it, which is no big deal, but I can't find it. And I wouldn't have the pretty blue color : )

Of course I assume my experience with the Nine is the same as the Nine Pro, software-wise.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
I advise against this as I had used this and ended up with problems....search for the MSM Tool for unbricking a global device which is the same as North American..... Then unlock bootloader
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
But you can't use the global firmware on the T-Mobile 9 Pro without losing the radio I thought? I figured that was the whole reason nobody has made an MSM Mod to flash the T-Mobile variant with global instead of EU software.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
The T-Mobile 9 Pro has a unique situation where it only works right with the T-Mobile modem. The T-Mobile 9 doesn't suffer from this issue and can use any 9 modem. The process here has been proven to result in a usable modem once the conversion is done. I don't believe the same can be said of using the NA global firmware.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] luckylui:
This is what you need to do for the Global Firmware.

https://xdaforums.com/t/tmo-9-pro-modem-retention-data-fix.4292445/
[OnePlus 9 Pro] excarnate:
The word that keeps throwing me is "global". So if I spent the extra $300 and got it directly from OnePlus in the United States, I'd have the global firmware?

The few threads with "North American" aren't explicit [enough for my tiny brain].

I've been testing the (pretty blue) one I got refurbed, and it seems fine, so I'm keen to fix the issues I've mentioned, and I don't mind the work.

FWIW, most of the time I see "global" on xda, it is different from "U.S.".
[OnePlus 9 Pro] luckylui:
It's Global due to it not coming preloaded with T-Mobile firmware. I believe the 2127 you have came sim and bootloader unlocked. I bought my 2127 directly from T-Mobile and had to request T-Mobile to sim unlock it and request a token to unlock my bootloader from OnePlus site due to it being directly from T-Mobile. So, when you convert it to the Global version it will remove the T-Mobile bloat.

9Pro directly from OnePlus site for NA is 2125 and for EU is 2123.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] excarnate:
OK, so that's a "no", it won't be the same as the 2125, software-wise. It won't have the very bright magenta startup screen, it won't have the T-Mobile software pre-installed, but there will be differences (what?) from the 2125 firmware.

Right?

Is it possible to get/load the 2125 firmware?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] luckylui:
Your phone will pretty much run the 2125 software when you convert the 2127. Won't have anything T-Mobile at all unless you install T-Mobile applications. The main advantage of it all is faster software updates rather than sitting around waiting for T-Mobile to update their software for 2127 branded phones. That thread I posted will help you convert your 2127 to 2125 (Global) BUT! Keep in mind to make sure you retain your T-Mobile modem.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] excarnate:
OK, so it is "yes", but with a caveat for the modem. Which is weird because, as I understand it, the modem from OnePlus direct purchases would be fine and fully support T-Mobile. No way to get whatever that modem is [and have it work perfectly]?

Thanks for your time going back and forth, by the way.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] luckylui:
The 2127 has a modem specifically with T-Mobile bands as I like to say built for the T-Mobile network. The 2125 has a modem that still works with T-Mobile, but doesn't have the extra bands that come with the 2127 modem. That's why you should retain the T-Mobile modem before converting to 2125 :)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] excarnate:
This.

Out of curiosity, if you know, does this apply to the Nine (non-Pro)? I'm used to getting all the T-Mobile bands, until I hold on to my phone so long the network changes.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
No, it doesn't apply to the regular 9, just the 9 Pro.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] tk_xda:
I bought the 2125 Pro for use on t-mobile USA and it has global firmware. I looked on the official OnePlus manufacturer tech specs and it has all the LTE and 5G bands that T-Mobile USA says they currently use in their support site. I don’t understand what this is about a special modem firmware for T-Mobile. Is there something I am missing here?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] luckylui:
T-Mobile UW Band which comes with the 2127 model.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] tk_xda:
The specs at https://www.oneplus.com/9-pro/specs include mmWave 259, 260, 261 which I think is another word for UWBand. This makes me think 2125 model direct from oneplus will have it.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] excarnate:
What is the general case? Is the hardware the same across all models? I expect it isn't, as the LE2121 (Indian) model can also have an e-SIM. Does the 2121 have the same hardware so if I loaded the LE2125 or LE2127 firmware I'd have essentially a 2125 or 2127 including all the bands (whether or not the 2127 has bands the 2125 does not.)?

Is the e-SIM just in the software?

The information might be out there but perhaps my search-fu isn't good enough.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ChrisFeiveel84:
E-sim on a oneplus phone ?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
It's not a true e-SIM as it doesn't have the hardware and can only be used for Oroaming which as far as I can tell is Red Tea GO only. Theoretically this should work on any device since it's not using hardware but I didn't get to try it when I had India firmware on my 9.

One thing to be aware of is that switching regions tends to break VoLTE. I had to go back to global firmware on my 9 because of not having working VoLTE or wifi calling on the India OyxgenOS or China ColorOS firmware.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] rmendez011:
"UW Band" (5G UW) is Verizon's marketing term for N77/N78 and mmWave 5G (N260, N261), meaning only Verizon uses, no one else in the world refers to N77/N78 or mmWave as "UW Band". (9 Pro has a 5G UW icon for mmWave, 10 Series has a 5G UW icon for N77/N78).

For T-Mobile, they use 5G UC (Ultra Capacity) for N41 and mmWave 5G (N258, N260, N261, OnePlus phones can connect to T-Mobile UC but have no UC icon in the status bar).

For AT&T, they use 5G+ (5G Plus) for N77/N78 and mmWave 5G (N260, no OnePlus phone gets 5G on AT&T).

In actuality, Ultra-Wideband is something completely different to 5G, Ultra-Wideband is short distance (shorter than Wi-Fi), it's available in certain phones (not all mmWave 5G phones have Ultra-Wideband), Ultra-Wideband can be used to unlock cars with your phone, but not every mmWave phone can unlock a car (confusing I know), the 9 Pro can't be used as a key for a car (Smart Car apps are different, those work over Bluetooth).

Verizon should've called their mmWave network something else, this person explains mmWave vs Ultra-Wideband better than me.

Since it was published as an OTA, i would advise you to stay calm for now. Sometimes excitement kills you at the end of the day. That's what i experienced before.

Yeah I have the 6spro as well..I finally have seen the download for the V3.17 on redmagic website but when I click to download it takes me to a page that says No Such Key and stuff
