So basically MSM says "Param preload failed" and I tried different USB Cables, etc.

The Image matched the device, I downloaded the payload.bin from here:

You have to use the msm tool what is for this devices

Is it a india device you have to use the india msm tool and enabel in msm tool firehose Lite

Is this a us model use us msm tool

On a eu devices use eu msm tool

I mean not the rom what is installed i mean the real device region

And hold pressed vol+ and vol- when you hold the two buttons not the op goes out from edl after 10-15 secends
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Double check in PC device manager that your phone is recognized in ports driver as 9008....
[OnePlus 9 Pro] trgyt:
The Device is a EU Model, I will try the Firehose Lite

[OnePlus 9 Pro] ChrisFeiveel84:
This you need only on india devices and china devices

Eu and global use no firehose lite
[OnePlus 9 Pro] trgyt:
Ohh ok, but why?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ChrisFeiveel84:
China and india device is not the same as global, eu or us model
[OnePlus 9 Pro] trgyt:
Ah thank you, but it still doesn't work :/

I still get the param preload failed error
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ChrisFeiveel84:
You sure that this is an real eu devices (not flashed with eu rom )
[OnePlus 9 Pro] trgyt:
I purchased this from switzerland off a site that is seated in switzerland

So I am pretty sure that it's flashed with eu?

Or could I be wrong?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ChrisFeiveel84:
It's not about the firmware that has been flashed onto the 9p, but for which region it is made (do you still have the box from the cell phone? When you have the box from this phone look on the box is this a eu or india model )
[OnePlus 9 Pro] trgyt:
I do have the box, and the Model Number is LE2123 which is (as far as I am concerned) the EU Version.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ChrisFeiveel84:
Start msm tool (ooen it ) and make a reboot with the op9p and hold pressed the two buttons vol+ and vol- and try it with ensure (hope is corekt ) and than flash after you sea the op9p on the msm tool

Or can you boot to fastboot/fastnootd ?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] trgyt:
Sooo I tried but it failed at the Param preload part again

I have to go to bed now otherwise I will probably break my monitor.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] hammered58:
If fastboot is available you can try switching slots and reboot , worked for me when I was in crash dump, at least I was able to install a ROM then work my way back to stock
[OnePlus 9 Pro] trgyt:
IMPORTANT:​

I seem to have fixed the problem:​

I basically had the wrong drivers installed, even though I downloaded them from oneplus for this exact phone.

I was able to fix the issue by installing the drivers via Windows Update. They will appear in the optional updates but that worked for me just fine.

Hi. I was wondering if there were any custom ROMs for the TCL 20 Pro 5G? I can't seem to find any.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] RacerX1911:
Hello everyone,

Does anyone else have any issues while watching youtube videos and it gets blocky? I've posted a picture of the issue... it's almost like youtube doesn't know how to transcode the video so it just comes out blocky. If you look at the buttons, they appear to be in HD and not effected by the blocks.

It happens pretty much every youtube video I watch... I came from a pixel and never had an issue like this.

Once I get this issue fixed, I'd say this phone is a 9/10 ( -1 because I hate curved screens haha)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Xvipes:
With YouTube Revanced I don't have any issue. Could it just be a matter of buggy YT version?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] RacerX1911:
Thank you for the response.

Wifi or cellular does the same thing with speeds over 70+ on cell and wifi6.

Deleted youtube and reinstalled but still does this.

I just hope it's not a hardware issue because I would bring it back and get another one before the time is up.

Well just an update... tried everything, 3 factory resets later, I took it back and got another one. This one has no issues other than the YouTube shorts sometimes not playing and I have to get out of it and re click it for it to play. Such a weird issue that had to be hardware related...
[Moto G General] DivineSEnse:
After an unsuccfessful flash to downgrade from Android 12 to Android 11 i hard bricked the device due to validation errors on the preloader (see below). Unfortunately i had a reboot lastly in my batch file...

Now I have no response on power button, and no recognition via USB. Just dead.

I need to figure out how to enter BROM mode for the G31, I assume this is going to be via test points.

Anyone here has that information or any other unbricking ideas? :(

Here are the errors:

writing 'preloader'...

[Moto G General] FritzSM:
Exactly the same problem here... any luck? :rolleyes:

Looks like we must use the "fastbootd" mode to flash... not the regular fastboot... as shown on this video:

But now... I cannot get it to even turn on or connect to the pc... :(
[Moto G General] FritzSM:
After a lot of research on the topic, my conclusion is:

If it is not recognize when plug in USB...

doesn't show on the Device Manager... There is no hope to revive it! :(

That's a Mediatek issue... there is no "Force USB Connection" test point... :rolleyes:

RIP G31...
[Moto G General] DivineSEnse:
I followed that exact same youtube video when mine was bricked. This is terrible :(
[Moto G General] mvikrant97:
Without unlocked bootlader this flashing will not work. That's why it is giving you error Failed (remote failure).

You can try to connect device by pressing volume up and down buttons simulataneously to get it into BROM mode.

Please make sure to have all the MTK drivers installed and use libusb to install the device filter for MTK port.

Only official Motorola Service Center has tool to flash the device in locked state.

You can easily find the test point of your phone if you are comfortable in disassembling the device, the test point is usually located near the memory chip.

Please refer to this video. You may get some idea on how the device is flashed.
[Moto G General] DivineSEnse:
Thank you!. But I already had gone through the process of unlocking the bootloader. The phone gave me the unlocked bootloader splash screen on startup so It should have been unlocked.

I have tried various combinations of button presses while connecting but nothing seems to work.

I'm quite comfortable opening the phone up and I already have, but I would need some further instructions locating the BROM test point. Is it under the metal shield perhaps? If I find it, I just ground it right?

I believe I have installed all the drivers mentioned, several times.
[Moto G General] mvikrant97:
Can you please send in a picture of both side of your phone's motherboard?

Does your phone shows up in device manager as Mediatek Preloader Vcom when connected to PC?
[Moto G General] DivineSEnse:
No, it does not show up at all. So I need to force it into BROM somehow.
[Moto G General] mvikrant97:
To force into BROM we need to see if it connects in MTK Preloader mode
[Moto G General] DivineSEnse:
It does not seem to do this. I have tried the various MTK tools, but it does not respond. There is nothing showing up in the device manager. I also checked various low level usb tools but none of these see anything at all.

If you have a suggestion for what tool to use and how to do this please let me know!

I don't really need it to be a specific mode, I just need to talk to it somehow. And it is just not responding to anything. Since BROM is the most low-level mode it should work, but it seems I cannot get it to go into BROM. That is my original problem.

I tried to downgrade the firmware to Android 11 but something went wrong and now it's bricked. But there should be some way to get it to BROM mode and go from there. If i can only figure out how.

On older motorolas there was a button combination to get it to BROM mode, but this does not seem to work on the newer phones. So I was thinking there was some service points I could reset to get it to BROM mode.
[Moto G General] FritzSM:
The question is the Mediatek chipset... the majority of the information we found works for Snapdragon's... And that is the trap we fall in... There is very few information about MTK's... I have the schematics for the G31, and there is no BROM or Forced BOOT pins anywhere... :(
[Moto G General] Anonymous V:
if the preloader doesn't detected its most likely because of wrong key combination i notice that in some MediaTek chipset like MT65xx you can easily connect it into preloader unlike MT67xx and since your phone has a chipset of MT6769Z you need different keys try this

1.) Connect the small part of usb cable to your phone then hold the Vol down button while connecting the big part of the cable to pc

2.) Connect the small part of the usb cable to your phone hold the Vol up button while connecting the big part to pc

3.) Connect the small part of usb cable to your phone then hold the Vol down and up button while connecting the big part of the cable to pc

4.) Connect the big part of the cable to pc then hold your Vol down button while connecting the small part

5.) Connect the big part of the cable to pc then hold your Vol up button while connecting the small part

6.) Connect the big part of the cable to pc then hold your Vol down and up button while connecting the small part

try of this method it might work those methods those things usually works if ever the preloader is still not detected after trying all that method the problem is in the cable or in the usb port of your pc also what tool are you using if your using MTK client or SP flash tool i can help you with that
[Moto G General] FritzSM:
- USB cable... checked... its fine... tried with more then one to be sure. Different computers too...

- Tried all the possible buttons combinations, one by one... by two... even all pressed at same time... no response with any combination...

In fact... the device just don't respond at all... the unique signal is the "charging light" coming up when connect to usb. (same as when connnect the charger)...

Windows doesn't detect or be aware of the connection...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace1222:
Hey hopefully I'm posting in the correct sub section if not can a mod please move this. First off just want to say thanks for the information I've gotten lurking the past few months. I'm basically completely new learning basic coding etc. Sorry for the rant my question is ive been experiencing some cyber attacks which are very confusing and a long story...I'll try to keep it short...

Currently I'm on an old Samsung a21(buying the a54 when it comes out soon) my wife has a Samsung a53. Both phones have toybox installed but this wasn't flashed by me. I flashed her phone with the stock firmware last week to attempt to rid the hacking on it. Is it even possible to flash toybox remotely? I wouldn't think so as you would need to have several things lined up plus it connected to a pc. Nearly every device in my house has been corrupted down to smart watches, Bluetooth low energy devices, and especially computers. All of my pcs registrys are completely infected. My wife swears this is not her and has no idea how to do any of this. I have my suspicions with certain "coincidences" happening which are to numerous to name. Sorry for posting this here but I don't know where else to ask. If anyone could even point me in the right direction I'm willing to put In work. I've called professionals that basically advised me to trash everything. That's all fine and dandy but I need to understand this issue to prevent it from happening again. The scope of this issue is way over my head but I've made decent progress in the last three months. I'll check out the toybox guides here to see if that offers some clues

Thanks In advance for any advice.

Since you didn't write specific facts, I'll just answer about toybox.

Toybox has been on Samsung phones for a long time and is a system application without the ability to manually do an update.

@jwoegerbauer

OP is not asking for updating toybox

there is no such "temporary root" for android on real devices (such as smartphones and tablets)

the toybox linked cannot replace the android version of toybox

toolbox is holding android specific applets (such as getevent) and cannot replaced by toybox

get yourself a smartphone and learn the basics. I will pay $ 100 if you show any proof of your magic temporary root.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace1222:
Sorry for causing any tension and debates here guys. I am interested in root access if that's what's needed. I'm totally ignorant and can sort of follow along what was posted. For clarification I don't have access to the rom folder even for read privileges. My intent is to figure out how/why my devices are being manipulated. E.g. why are there custom apps,partitions,user profiles, different access levels to folders that aren't in the root directory? Obviously my devices have been tampered with but I'm to ignorant to provide the information to help you help me.

on bootloader locked devices system cannot modified. samsung devices are secure, a simple factory reset will remove all potential malware. just don't use the same samsung/google accounts again afterwards and do not restore backup of apps you don't know.
[Fairphone 4] EEngineer:
My present phone is an LG G5 for T-Mobile. However, T-Mobile requires VoLTE to make and receive calls. The stock ROM supports VoLTE but it is proprietary code, so VoLTE is not supported by LineageOS for the G5.

I'm considering getting the Fairphone 4 for T-Mobile network, part of the reasons are removable battery, rootable, and LineageOS is available for it.

Can anyone tell me if the Fairphone 4 supports VoLTE on T-Mobile? Also does LineageOS for the Fairphone 4 also support VoLTE?

[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] pwrdbykyank:
Just wondering if anyone else might have had this issue I'm having and if there is any fix or work around for this. So I imported a Vivo X90 Pro Plus China variant and am currently using it in the US. I originally was using Verizon on it but was having network issues. Would work for a week or so (4G data,text,voice all worked), then would go to no bars and no service and would not re-connect with the network. I would have to remove the sim card, and re insert it multiple times or activate a new sim card and put it back into the phone for the phone to re connect and show signal bars and work again. So I assumed its just Verizon thus switched to a T-mobile sim and started using T-mobile with the device. With T-mobile worked better, got 5G instead of only 4G and everything was smooth for about 3 weeks. Then again I am having this same issue. Every week it drops service and says no service, I have to remove the sim card, insert a completely different sim and remove that sim and re insert my active sim for the phone to re establish and activate with the network.

SO the only thing I can think is that either the phone software somewhere is rejecting and blocking the sim or network after a while for some reason, or that the carrier (tmobile and verizon) are rejecting the phone being on their network and kicking it out. But if that is the case, why does it work again when I remove the sim, insert a different sim and re insert the same active sim back again. Makes me lean toward a software lock or something.

Any ideas? Thanks guys.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Ziranei:
Im now in US too, currently running on mint and i didnt see any problems with network issues, most of time in on wifi but every time i need data it works fine. Only difference is im running european sim on slot 1 and us on slot 2.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] pwrdbykyank:
oh, hmm not sure what could be causing this issue for me. I'm thinking maybe one of the installed Chinese apps are interfering with it but not sure.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] blabba:
I'm on mint as well (uses T-Mobile network).

Never had any network issues.

It might be worth trying to restore the phone and try the newer 2.6.4 debloat script as a baseline.

Then after that you can try removing some of the additional system packages like vivo store or vivo.pem (although the jury is mixed on whether it's useful to do that).
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] pwrdbykyank:
I may have to try that and look into it. I'm not too familiar with doing any rooting or running adb stuff (been years since I did that sort of thing) so worried I might mess something up rather than fix it lol
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] mvincent2k:
Hi did you ever get this issue corrected? Looking at importing to use on Verizon as well.

Also did it get 5G on verizon for you?

Thanks
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] pwrdbykyank:
Nope, it was on Verizon's end since the IMEI of the phone was not on their approved list, so every week or so when the system would filter out non-approved IMEI's, I would have to mess around with trying to re activate the sim by taking it out and putting it back in, or restarting multiple times and resetting network settings, or activating new sim cards. I ended up switching over to T-Mobile to be able to use it without that hassle, but wasn't 100% good news on that end either. For the most part worked fine with T-mobile with everything but every month or two months I would wake up one day to the phone being not in service so I would have to either restart the phone or pop the sim in and out as well. But it was much better than verizon. Also every now n then I would miss group messages with texts so decided to switch phones in the end. Both Verizon and T-mobile would have 5G service with the phone.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] mvincent2k:
OK thanks for the response. Such a shame with Verizon for an amazing phone like this.

Their required device certification of devices that will actually work is so antiquated. May just switch all of our accounts and business accounts from them as well since I am tired of it. Galaxy devices should not be the only real Android player you have to choose from for a flagship
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] pwrdbykyank:
Yup, usually with most US based unlocked phones, you won't have issues. But with international ones that have international IMEI's, some are hit n miss, especially I would presume ones which are banned or have sanctions from the US. As of lately, AT&T has locked their network down too, so only approved IMEI and devices work on their networks also. Theirs is sort of worst since even say a Galaxy phone that is international but is also sold in the US will not work. Once you activate it, they block your sim and you have to call and talk to them to re activate service etc. So as far as the main carriers go, from the looks of it, T-mobile is the only one left that you can use most unlocked devices on freely.
