[General Questions and Answers] ndlevio:
Hey, so my phone's screen recently broke, and it was still working perfectly in Samsung DeX mode. However, I made the mistake of disabling it because something I wanted to do required normal screen mirroring. Now, when I plug the phone through HDMI, I see a padlock on the screen, which normally requires me to enter my pattern to unlock the phone and have the screen mirror normally (but the screen and seemingly touch aswell are broken).

- Samsung S20 FE

- USB Debugging is disabled, so i cant use scrcpy

- I am able to feel vibrations when using a mouse, so maybe there would be a way to enter it blindly, but the pattern is too complex for me to do that

- I don't think I have a normal PIN but I don't recall, some people said pressing space twice on a keyboard then entering it could help, no luck

- I'm was able to see the device once in sideload mode, probably through recovery mode? (screenshot below)

- I currently see the device as unauthorized (2nd screenshot)

I'm pretty much open to any way of doing this, even disabling the pin would be okay.

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] ndlevio:
Managed to fix this using a windows drawing pen, finding where the dots for the patterns are located with vibration, and mapping them on a piece of paper.
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
another way would be connect TV or monitor with HDMI adapter and connect usb mouse / keyboard
[General Questions and Answers] ndlevio:
The thing is, the pattern doesn't show on the external display.

All you see is a grey screen with a padlock and the time.

If you have a PIN though, that does work cause you just have to hit space twice, type it in then hit enter. Easy even if you can't see.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jbonilla51:
I have this issue that when I receive a call, all I hear from the other side is like a chirping distorted noise. This only occurs with the stock dialer app. Also, it's happened in differing custom ROMs (AICP 17.1, and now CrDroid). Apparently the only quick fix is to disable wifi calling and VOLTE, which I did and it did help. Is there a way for me to get rid of the chirping noises while keeping VOLTE and wifi calling enabled? Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Edit: so what did work for me was switching the network type to LTE/WCDMA/GSM under mobile network settings. Make sure to check your device and the compatible network bands to set this accordingly. Leaving this here in case other people with other devices have such a similar issue.

When I try transfer files to twrp on my sm-t510 it doesn’t move and gets frozen I have tried everything reflashed twrp so many times yesterday it started working for a bit then stopped again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ze7zez:
If TWRP crashes, then there is a problem with partitions or NAND in general. Make a log in TWRP and transfer to the PC via adb connection and see in the log what is happening there.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
I never usually start this kind of thread as it's so based on rumor etc, and it's early days, but having been a NOTE fan (plus the s21), so far, I AM disappointed by what the rumor mill is suggesting is more of an S22 Ultra 'S' than an exciting device for 2023. I have the 22 Ultra and it seems for the first time in years, it may not be much of a difference year to year... Unless this is Samsungs way to push people to their folded devices?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] doubledragon5:
Well I have no plans in the distance future to buy another phone until this one is hopefully 5 yrs old, and no longer working.. Of course if I hit the lottery, then I might buy a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] KOLIOSIS:
I'm staying put w/the S22 Ultra, as you mentioned, the 23U is a very iterative bump at most.

I'd like to see a smaller option, akin to the Note 20, but, that's not likely to be in the cards.

If their foldable lineup included something dimensionally similar to the Oppo Find N2 & had a siloed pen, that would be a great option.

I still have a Note20 Ultra, I'll be hanging on to it & the S22 Ultra for at least the next two years or so.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
It does sound like it's going to be a very iterative upgrade. Really the only exciting upgrades so far are better camera and potential for much more battery efficiency. They really need to bring back the 16 GB RAM option, louder speakers, and stronger vibration motor from the S21 Ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
@KOLIOSIS

How you been? For once I will not jump on the newest shiny device. It's basically going to be the same device being sold again. Should be the S22 Ultra+🤣🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
I'll wait for another year. My S22 Ultra has been excellent.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] KOLIOSIS:
Life is good! ✌️

Yeah, the past 2-3 model years have been pretty much meh, but, any improvement is welcome, just not enough on the S23 to rationalize an upgrade just for little else to have the latest model.

Kinda on-topic, as far as new/improved features to look for:

Looks like the EU may mandate the return of the removable battery :

The EU wants to make your next phone's battery easier to replace

The EU wants to revive the concept of removable and user-replaceable batteries

www.androidpolice.com

Barring anything new as features goes, I'm willing to wait for this to actually happen & hopefully, it'll make it's way internationally.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
I don't upgrade every year. I usually go every other year. Going from the Note 10+ to the S22 Ultra was the first time i waited an extra year to upgrade. I'm waiting to see how the next Z Fold will be refreshed.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GizzyTalksTech:
Hello there, I recently got a new phone for Christmas (Motorola E20) and recently I have been trying to root my phones but this one seems to be the hardest to do. I have tried to unlock the bootloader through many different ways and I've seen people use fastboot oem get_unlock_data to unlock it but this doesn't exist and also the fastboot oem unlock command doesn't exist also with the fastboot flashing commands it comes up with FAILED (remote: Not Implemet.). I'm starting to think this device is unrootable but as one finally shot I decided to come here and see if any of you can help me.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Bata123:
Ok, I might have ****ed this up really bad this time, I have flashed custom roms on my old device many times and once before on my Poco F3, so I was a bit over confident trying to flash the Elite ROM miui 14 following this not very detailed guide using orange fox:

EliteRomLite V14.0.22.12.8.DEV China DEV MIUI 14 A13 Released for PUBLIC!

Devices: Poco F3 / K40/...

www.elitedevelopment.com.pk

after formatting and flashing everything I tried to reboot ignoring the "no OS" warning (Big mistake). And now my phone doesn't boot, neither to the (non existing) OS neither to the fast boot screen.

If anyone can help I would be immensely grateful
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] 3zozHashim:
does it not boot to twrp?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] johnr64:
Hi, As 3zozHashim mentioned,

do you still have RECOVERY, i have been stuck in "No O/S installed" but after reboot has always automatically rebooted into Recovery.

You can enter Recovery manually by pressing and holding the Power + Volume up buttons and releasing the power button.

I have never lost FASTBOOT:unsure:, if you still have recovery you could try reverting back to your old rom, can you connect to your pc:unsure:.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bozinsky73:
I had this issue once and I've solved in TWRP (hope you may accessit!).

Try to reboot, from main screen, and switch to the other partition (if you don't know which one is the actually active, try first with B and after a failing reboot try with A)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Bata123:
no matter if I hold power button, or power + volume up, or power+ volume down the screen just stays black

You need to flash miui using an authorized account by paying someone with one of these accounts.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Bata123:
Where I can found someone with one of these accounts?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
Since your phone appears to be hard bricked, you could try a patched firehose and flash a firmware yourself. I will link it if you want. Just a disclaimer, try it at your own risk since yours is the first hard bricked device I came across since I got the firehose file.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Bata123:
I would really enjoy if could link me the patched firehose
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
Here you go.

I do not know how to use it though. Maybe @cyanGalaxy can guide you through it?

EDIT: I tried it and it looks like it does not work.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Bata123:
I've found tutorials on the internet using miflash but I only get errors
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
I don't think it can be used with miflash. You need something like QFIL.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] johnr64:
Hi,

Was your F3 recognised in Device manager, if so was it listed as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 :unsure:, also have you tried to hold down the power button for 10 seconds
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] johnr64:
I had to use Qfil to install Orangerfox patched Recovery on my LG G7 "many times":LOL:

Entering 9008 mode was easy thou, i was done by using a combination of keys at reboot, it looks like MIUI is a different beast.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Bata123:
I was tring qfil this afternoon but I got a bunch of errors, some I found how to fix online (like sahara fail and "The system cannot find the specified file") but not the "FHLoader Fail: Process Fail." tried a bunch of Qfil versions and nothing unfortunately. Apperntly I will have to pay someone on a service center to fix it :(
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
Sorry to hear that. Well, it was worth a try at least.

I wonder what that error means. Does it mean the patched firehose is not working or something else. Hmmm...

Also I read that you need to set "device type" to ufs in configuration. This is essential.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] vickmen:
This guy has the same problem as you. I don't know if the video doesn't work for you, but it's not hard to try.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
This only works with MediaTek phones.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
Does your phone show up in Windows Device Manager as "Qualcomm 9008" ?

The EDL Mode of the Xiaomi Poco F3 is locked to authorised Xiaomi Service Centres only...

The Poco F3 modified MBN (Firehose) file that the other guy here posted, *may* work, to circumvent the authorisation required. I haven't tried it myself because my phone's not bricked at the moment 😅

I did brick my Poco F3 once last year, tried QPST/QFIL. I couldn't find *any* modified Firehose back then so QPST/QFIL didn't work. {Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke}

Another thing to mention, my phone did not go into EDL Mode automatically, I had to open the back of my phone (took a lot of patience and carefulness but was flawless!), and short 2 Test-points on my phone.

In the end it all worked out well for me.

The Qualcomm SOC, when it detects that the bootloader is completely f***ed, will boot into EDL Mode instead. When you power on your device, the Qualcomm SOC first tries to boot Android's Bootloader, if it detects that the bootloader is erased (or similar), it will sidetrack to the Qualcomm read-only EDL Mode.

But there are times where it's not erased but only broken/damaged, and in that case the Qualcomm SOC doesn't auto-boot to EDL Mode, but instead, you're "invisibly" stuck in a broken/damaged Android bootloader.

About the modified Firehose file and QPST/QFIL: You have to put it into the Fastboot ROM-folder where the other ROM images are... The Official MIUI Fastboot ROM can also be used for EDL Mode (QPST/QFIL/Mi Flash)...

I think you CAN actually use Mi Flash for EDL Mode. What happens when you try to flash in EDL Mode, by default, is that a popup will show asking you to login with a Xiaomi Service Account (which of course you don't have).

So.. you can try Mi Flash with the Modified Firehose, or QPST/QFIL...

Otherwise I can give you contact details about the third party service that would flash your phone in EDL Mode (the same that I used last year).

I can not mention it here on XDA tho... Guidelines.

Or, if it costs less to go to a Xiaomi Service Centre (or sending it in), then do that. Maybe you can, with warranty.

Here in Germany I think there are very very few Xiaomi Service Centres, and we have to send in, I think...
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
OK I have to plead guilty to something...

I bricked my Poco F3 twice actually.

But the very first time when it happened (2 months after I bought the device hahah), I had no clue about Qualcomm EDL Mode and the other technicalities related to Xiaomi and Qualcomm, so I returned it to Amazon and said "Software borked due to OS update", and they sent me a free replacement.

It was a bad move of course, but I was without a phone and had nightmares from that occurence. The second time I made my hands dirty (so to speak ;D ), and I fixed it!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
We need to "copy and replace" the firehose files, right? Because there are already stock firehose files in the ROM folder.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
Yes.. keep the original as backup
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Bata123:
Yeah, technical assistance is really stupid, I explained everything but the dude says it's clearly not a software problem because he would be able to at least turn the device on, he is the last 2 days testing the battery, the screen, the motherboard, everything and found nothing wrong 🤦‍♂️

If I can't find anyone that can write the partition scheme and bootloader to the internal memory I will try convince someone to change to a new motherboard with the factory installed software in the memory

I'm kinda skeptic about paying someone online with authorized Mi account to tunnel into my device and do it, I heard a lot about scams online and where I live technical assistance (although incompetent) is quite in the same price range ~€40 just hope I can find a cheap motherboard
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
Sorry to hear that. But it looks paying someone to do it remotely is your only option here. I tried the patched firehose myself but it looks like it does not work.

My concern would not be my phone, as I would clean flash it after the EDL flash, but my PC through which the other guy would flash it.

I would do a complete clean install of windows too. Or use a spare PC just for the flashing process.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ApexPrime:
I read somewhere that mi pc suite can get devices out of hard brick. You just have to connect your phone and it repairs it automatically. Download from here and after installation, make sure to update the app by clicking on the version on bottom left or else it wont detect your device:

The Official Mi device desktop client

I installed windows just to fix my phone I can re-install it afterwards, I'm just afraid someone will get my money and run away
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
Did you tell him what exactly is the problem? If yes, then he seems to be ignorant idiotic layman who won the lottery to become a repairman.

And if "nothing is wrong", how come the phone can't be turned on? 🤨

The phone simply needs to be booted into EDL Mode, either through Deep Flash Cable or shorting the 2 Test-points. And flashing is done with the latest MIUI Fastboot ROM (works for EDL), Mi Flash and an authorised Xiaomi Service Account.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
I highly doubt it...
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
You can use VMware to do the remote-access and flashing in EDL Mode. Sounds weird but works well. USB-passthrough works very well.

I have to say, even tho the technician with the authorised account did manage to flash my phone in EDL Mode, he was an idiot.

When he was remote-connected to my PC, that idiot technician tried to search for Chrome in the search bar, got upset he couldn't find it and I had to guide him towards the preinstalled MS Edge (which I used as default browser). He also installed WinRAR, even tho I had 7-Zip installed. Other than that, he did nothing problematic on my PC.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
I can leave you contact details in DM's if you agree to let me to dm you (can't simply post here due to XDA Guidelines).

I paid 23€.

Yes it's indeed a sketchy option, but it is one that works, I personally can confim that.

However, you first need to get your phone to enter EDL Mode if your PC isn't recognising your phone... Make sure drivers are installed (preferably the drivers from Mi Flash).
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ApexPrime:
Give me the contact details please.

Me too but there's no harm in trying and it will save him a lot of trouble if it works
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Bata123:
I would love if you can give me these contat info if you can. My phone is being recognized by my PC "QDLoader 9008 (COM3)" I'm just getting so many erros trough Qfil that I can't do it on my own.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Bata123:
Yeah, I tried every Qfil version X firehose file combination that I could, there is no way I can do this myself

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Bata123:
GOOD ENDING: payed the dude with authorized account and everything is working for now, but to be sure that this doesn't happen again what do you recommend that I do?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
I would be careful with these Gaming ROMs like EliteROM. I never tried them and can't say anything about them. But I have a feeling they just make MIUI into an even bigger mess..

Custom ROMs are usually flashed by just flashing the ZIP in your favourite recovery and formatting data...

If the Custom ROM has differentiating, special instructions... Be careful and don't be afraid to ask twice in their corresponding Support Groupchat..

As stable Custom ROMs, I like to recommend ArrowOS 13 (which I use), or if it has to be MIUI, Xiaomi.eu. But you will have worse battery drain on MIUI.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] johnr64:
Stay away from rom`s that don`t have much feedback, i have also tried some roms i found on Youtube that are not on XDA, i have also tried roms with complicated install instruction and ended up rebooting into either Fastboot or recovery, a lot of them look good but are not polished like the ones found on this thread.

I use the AMAZING Evo-X 7.4 rom, it`s perfect for me.

Have fun with flashing roms, the poco f3 is a great device for this,

I`m glad you sorted it(y)

[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Kaushikchand71:
Hi all, so I have searched for answers to the following questions on XDA and other forums. But I just wanted to ask here again because some answers may be outdated or I maybe I had misunderstood whatever the article said.

So I am thinking of buying a Xiaomi 12 pro (Chinese edition Model #: 2201122C) from AliExpress or Alibaba. I had the following questions for those who have done the same or know someone that did. I will answer all the questions I have and could someone please give me a heads up if I am correct or if there is anything I missed.

Thanks ..

Q1. If I don't like the Miui 13 (Chinese), I can unlock the bootloader using Mi Unlock Tool (7 days wait) and then proceed to flash global Rom or the one by Xiaomi.eu.

I think the answer here is yes.

Q2. However, If I dont like the Global or the XIaomi.eu rom, I cannot go back to the Chinese ROM due to Anti Rollback feature by Xiaomi?

Again Yes I think, but do let me know...

Q3. Are OTA updates available for Global ROM and Xiaomi.eu ROM installed on Chinese Models ( 2201122C)

I am not sure ...

Cheers and A Happy New Year to you all !!!
