[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] 1lopes:
someone here has had a similiar issue with you but differently recovered without using brom

anyways, i took a glance at your issue, seems like you are still in brom right?

install MiFlashPro, you will need it to fill the Download-Agent in sp tool (see what the spaces means below)

then, download any miui rom from any website (my favorite is mifirm.net, it downloads faster)

extract the rom folder. now open sp tool.

now you will need to fill out 3 spaces:

download-agent (DA for short), scatter-loading file & authentication file.

DA is to have access to the devices internal storage, scatter-loading shows you the mapping of the partitions it will flash on the mtk & authentication is just MTK protection for newer mtk devices that you need to be able to flash (its also used to successfully flash, but you still need to bypass it somehow, as you require a Mi Account able to do BROM flashing, see below as you follow the thread)

to find the DA, it is always in the MiFlashPro installation location, so ...\MiFlashPro\. Access that folder, open up "\SP_Flash_Tool_V5" folder, and you will find a file named "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin", use it as the DA.

to find the authentication file, its located in the same path of the DA, so ...\MiFlashPro\SP_Flash_Tool_V5\, and you will find a file named "auth_sv5.auth", use it as the authentication file.

finally, to find the scatter-loading file, it is in the rom folder you extracted, so ...\camellian_xx_xxxx_images_VXX.X.X.X.xxxxx_XXXXXXXX.XXXX.XX_XX.X_xxxxxl\ (the X's represent your MIUI version you downloaded). the scatter-loading file is always located in the folder "images", so \camellian...\images\, and you will find a text file named "MT6833_Android_scatter.txt", use it as the scatter-loading file.

Now, you need to edit the "MT6833_Android_scatter.txt", or else when you use to flash you will get this error:

Open it (located at your MIUI ROM folder at \images), then use the locate tool to find "combo_partsize_check: true". You will probably find a few lines set as true, just replace every one with false (if it doesnt find it, just put "combo_partsize_check", but you will waste more time finding those that are set to true)

Alright, we finished our sp tool settings. now we have to bypass MTK Auth protection.

(Dont close sp tool yet!)

Ive annexed the tool below (mtkauthbypass.zip), download it and extract it.

It looks like this:

View attachment 5859493

After you are ready, press the "Disable Auth" button, get your hands on the phone and press at the same time the VOL+, VOL- & POWER button, till you see prompts appearing in the blank (i dont have a screenshot to show how it looks like, sorry)

View attachment 5859499

After it is finished and was successful, now go back to sp tool, and click "Download" asap.

Now wait for it to flash, maybe 5-15 minutes, and some time to boot, and done, your phone is alive again.

if anything didnt work post about it asap so i can help

(ps: if you get this, its a easy procedure to repair your bricked mtk, and you will get used to it quickly)
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] bg0169:
OK, thanks, I'll try that. But just to ask, do I have to stay in this BROM mode with options on blank screen while doing this, or select fastboot, recovery, normal first?
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] 1lopes:
well, not necessarily. only when you get to the bypassing, because brom will automatically restart if theres no command taken in a few seconds
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] bg0169:
OK, now I have a problem. All my programs are ready, the phone is in BROM mode, but the PC is not recognizing it. It's not from the cable and it doesn't appear in Device Manager.
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] 1lopes:
Wait a few moments, i think i have the mtk brom drivers for it, sorry for the wait
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] bg0169:
No problem, have your time :)
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] 1lopes:
There you go its attached, try them. Should work
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] bg0169:
OK, update again, again, again... Now I even have a picture on my phone in BROM mode and what's happening even with the drivers from above:

View attachment 5860261

Down there is the phone and on the screen is SP flash ready in the background and the MTK bypass tool. Also, PLEASE don't question the webcam, I know :(
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] bg0169:
Also here is what the Dev Mgmt sees. It's not showing even as serial port (the COM3 port from which it showed during the bootloop)

View attachment 5860263
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] 1lopes:
BROM mode is not that!

BROM is accessed by pressing down VOL+, VOL- & POWER all at the same time when device is turned off or rebooting, while connecting it to the pc, and BROM does not display anything, not even the LCD lights up, you just got to know whenever it is in BROM by your computer

Let the device reboot (select any mode from the list), and right as it reboots, press down all of the buttons, and connect the phone simultaneously.
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] bg0169:
OK, so when I plug the phone into my laptop and start holding all the buttons for eternity, it just connects and disconnects in 1sec.

I managed to capture it while doing it and:

View attachment 5860273, yeeaaahhhh, no,

I think it's entering BROM mode from what you've said, but that's what is happening. It recognizes it, but doesn't stay in. If i let go on the buttons, the phone just starts restarting again.
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] 1lopes:
press the "disable auth" button, and then connect it into BROM again, then it will bypass normally

it restarts because its not receiving any command, its normal
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] bg0169:
OK, I'll try it out in a moment... Thanks!
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] bg0169:
OK, even if u want, I have a screen capture. I open the tool, click bypass, connect the phone, and hold all the buttons. BUUUT it just keeps connecting and disconnecting. Always! Even with the drivers! Restarted my PC, same s**t! Now I'm pissed off a lot! Are you sure this is the only way, am I doing something wrong? I saw your "How to Guide" thread and followed everything and it's the same.
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] 1lopes:
i see the problem

its the driver. well, not exactly the driver

it seems like its a issue from the phone's side. but its normal! it also happens to me every time i try to bypass it

just like you show here, the port is not working (error symbol), so clearly it cant detect the phone to be able to do any commands

i tried bypassing to see just now, and yes, it also shows the same problem as you, the error symbol, however if you have the patience to retry lots of times, trying to bypass it, then its the solution for it.

View attachment 5860813

what you can try is just keep bypassing lots of times till you get it.. thats it, i hope
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] bg0169:
OK, just to confirm what you've said, I tried a lot of times, but what worked (partially) for me was opening Dev Mgmt on the side and updating the driver while the bypass tool is running and this happened:

View attachment 5861011

It splashed a error, but it's an advancement in some way anyways :)
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] 1lopes:
Thats good news, but you should just keep trying. I dont know any fix for this issue, it seems like it could happen for everyone, atleast what I always get whenever I try to bypass
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] bg0169:
Hey there, @1lopes! Wanted to share the experience so far.​

Sorry I wasn't responding this week, I had a lot of work. But it's Saturday, so I'm free. And here's what I've found:​

1st of all, I found "cruelty" out of anger. Taped all the buttons w/ scotch tape and they hold pretty well, giving me hands-free exp. Recommend to anyone going trough this process to do

2nd - The driver issue: It's caused by the bypass tool.

I made a video, that's attached bellow, showing how before I start the tool, it recognizes it, but after that, it's unrecognized again. I don't think it's THE app, but it's sub-program - open port, because after some tries it splashes an error, saying that "Open Port failed. Restart the program!" (sorry, i forgor to screenshot it 💀).

3rd - The MIUI Problem. Beforehand I tried MIUI 12.5.5 that f**ked everything up. Now I'm gonna try MIUI 12.5.4, because a lot of people have complained that after the MIUI 12.5 update their device didn't boot up.

If you have acknowledged any of this trough your experiences, I'm happily gonna take another help! :)​
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] 1lopes:
i think i found the problem (maybe and hopefully it is)

you need to filter the usb with libusb - attached

install it (you can uninstall it later as you only need it once)

then open "Filter Wizard"

select "Install a device filter" then next

now connect the phone in BROM, and rapidly click on the device and install (Description should be something similiar as "MediaTek USB Port"

after that, just retry everything once again
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] 1lopes:
ps: i dont recommend making it reboot constantly, maybe you will lose the moment to finally bypass. that is what happened to me

just this morning - i bricked the redmi note 10 5g just for fun, trying to bypass it while constantly holding down all the buttons wasnt able to bypass it, it would appear the same error as you got now

on this post, see the phone's screen?

thats the bootloader. can you access it and boot with "Normal Mode"?

if so, do it, then right as it reboots:

- hold all the buttons, and simultaneously, connect the phone*

- open libusb filter, install the usb filter asap

after ur done, boot into bootloader again, press "Disable Auth" on the program, reboot with the "Normal Mode" once again, then boot into BROM like above*

and HOPEFULLY it finally works now.

but why you need to boot the phone into bootloader? well to hopefully get the moment to finally bypass, constantly rebooting it in brom seems to not work then (i really dont know how to word it, sorry if you dont understand)
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] bg0169:
No, I understand. Thanks, I'll try!

Also when I press normal boot, it just restarts as usual. I think that this is happening exactly because of the damaged preloader.
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] bg0169:
I got it!!!!

Just the libUSB driverless thingy worked!
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] bg0169:
TYSM!!!

P.S. Just so u know I didn't patch the preloader cuz i read it might brick the device!
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] 1lopes:
no problem, glad it work

have a nice weekend
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] bg0169:
OK, and this is THE LAST question (i hope :/), why can't I flash anything, but MIUI 13, or is it something normal?

Before I've said that I tried installing MIUI12.5.5 - it f**ked up everything, tried 12.5.4 - yes, it recovered fastboot and all of that, but it didn't boot. PixelExp - even the non-VNDKLite doesn't boot anymore.

BUUUT MIUI 13.0.3 and 0.7 boot normally! How is that?

So does anyone have this problem, or is it just me? And if yes, how did ya downgrade to MIUI 12/12.5?

P.S. I want it, because my Note is not pro, so in 13 all of the transparent stuff is gray, and now it can't handle more than 2 apps, and I'm a multitasker type of dude :)
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] 1lopes:
pixel experience seems to have issues booting on MTKs above version 415 (even hard bricking), try 414 and/or below

have you tried flashing MIUI 12.5 with fastboot? or even with sp tool?

to disable the "gray stuff", aka "xiaomi low ram 4gb detection" that disables lots of functions and the much wanted blur, you can root it, download the Remove Low-End/RAM detection on my thread (https://xdaforums.com/t/ultra-rooted-miui-package.4487967/), flash it and it will be back, with all the functions from a mid-end phone (like sidebar, for example, etc)

following that, you can also flash the MemeUI Enhancer as it really helps you specially on the 4gb model (atleast for me, I noticed a impact with it)

about ur ps: ur note is not about being the Pro model (as it is a complete different phone with different socket), its about the amount of RAM you bought. camellian currenty has 4gb, 6gb and 8gb ram models. miui applies limitations on the 4gb models so they can run miui with almost no perfomance issues at all
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] bg0169:
Thanks for the reply!

OK, I'll try that! Exactly 415 bricked mine, even though I've booted from it before, sooo... I dunno.

Yes, and even 12.5.4 and it still wouldn't boot.

Yea, but my classmate has a Redmi note 9S, not Pro (my bad), but it's 4GB RAM and EVEN on MIUI13 he has the transparent sh*t! How? And no, his is not rooted. Just stock. Plain MIUI... :(

Also I'll try first the Magisk module! :)
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] 1lopes:
forgot to mention, couple users here reported that pe v415 does actually brick ur device, even ponces said it (but not specifically 'bricking'). for me no for some reason

strange. could you flash the miui 12 firmware that boots, then download the firmware of what you need as recovery type? recovery firmware is used to update the device early via miui updater (by tapping 7 times on the MIUI logo in the updater till it shows a toast "advanced update options enabled" or smth similiar as i dont remember), then click on the 3 dots in the top right corner and click "choose update package", then select the recovery firmware and try updating it

thats a coincidence lol, one of my classmates also has the note 9s 4GB ram on MIUI 13. but for him, only the volume panel has the blur, not the control center. eh, what can u say, miui being miui

[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] seyren00:
The bypass tool should detect it, after that you flash the phone with sp flash tool

I am using igo nextgen on android hu. Maps etc all work. When I use tts sound I select it and get the voice(test). But when I use it I get no voice announcements for warnings ie speedcams only a beep. Sometimes during the journey as well the voice does not finish a sentence etc. Removed phoneme files as says to but no luck.

Can someone help me as getti g so annoyed now. Wanted tts working correctly with speedcam/overspeed etc alerts.

If I use a normal voice then navigation speech works fine. But when comes to speedcams I get a continuous beep. Can this be solved?
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Please tell us your specs of device you are using (headunit info).

It is probably issue with sound in factory settings of device (hidden menu)
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
Where was igo installed from, plsystore or others?
[Android Head-Units] jasonsouthgate:
Fixed this issue, but how do I stop it autostart when turn on from ignition
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
There is setting in car settings , menu navigation , auto start - turn it off
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
Where was igo installed from, playstore or others?
[Android Head-Units] jasonsouthgate:
Came preinstalled, but backed up removed it then reinstall from scratch with up-to-date maps
[Android Head-Units] jasonsouthgate:
Can't find anything about autostart in car settings. There is no menu for car settings
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
You have infotainment menu ? If yes, it's there somewhere.
[Android Head-Units] jasonsouthgate:
Doesn't have that menu
[Android Head-Units] jasonsouthgate:
Have these settings and hidden ones.
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Try in hidden ones or developer menu if exists. Please shoot a video of whole menus and lists for better understanding.
[Android Head-Units] jasonsouthgate:
Photos above show the menus I have. As can see I can't see anything. How get into developer options? Can see mjz but what it do and needs a different password
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
track down on internet what does do and how to get past password, must be some data about it on net
[Android Head-Units] jasonsouthgate:
Done that why I'm asking here. From things on here many others have had same issue and get no answer
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Picture this mjz menu step by step and please write down CPU-Z info on your model here
[Android Head-Units] jasonsouthgate:
Mjz settings in picture below. Dont have cpu-z info. But know it's an allwinner quad (sun8iw11). 2/32 ram/memory. Got system working but nav auto starts when turning ignition on and system load up. I have nav app attached to navi button. If I don't and leave blank, would this stop it as nothing assigned to the button that assume is linked to the system generated startup system.
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Ok, you have google play store or some store to download apps and install them or navigation app is preinstalled with unit ?
[Android Head-Units] jasonsouthgate:
Navigation was preinstalled. But I backed up the APK and reinstalled with all updates etc do make it work with new maps. I have playstore available. I have tried other nav apps like Waze. These are not set as Navi button. These do not autolaunch when key in ignition. So is it due to fact that what app is set as Navi button in settings will autoload.
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Try to download better or different version of Igo , maybe it will correct itself or go to settings on Igo settings if you have option autostart with system or android or something like that.
[Android Head-Units] jasonsouthgate:
I tried different version but didn't run correctly. There's nothing in igo settings to deal with startup. I looked in Hu settings and only thing I see is navi button.
[Android Head-Units] jasonsouthgate:
Any answer to on what mjz is
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Is this unit have extra option like hidden ones accessed with pin code?

Must be something in order to access various advanced settings.

I don't know wht mjz means , as still even I don't know what model is of device, you didn't mentioned it at all. Install CPU-Z app and run device info , take a picture of it and place here to see what kind of device is this.

This is probably some odd unbranded cheap Chinese model.

I can't upload at minute as I caught COVID. It's a joyx allwinner quad 2/32 with android 10.

To get into these settings have to do os/kernel press. Then comes up with factory. To get into this one below have to enter a code (items hidden) but there's nothing there.
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
I've reported discussion of pirated software.

Igo is provided on these Chinese origin headunits pirated.
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
I rather have installed IGO from playstore and telling people to download also the same one, but Chinese are using modified IGO ISRAEL version as I recall, it is not pirated , Chinese merchants bought from IGO standard versions and modified it like they modify all head units with mediatek chpsets.

There is nothing to discuss here.
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
So it is mixed up and hard modified device and can not get into developer or factory settings.

So sadly i don't know any more answers and cannot help you further.

Ask someone with similar device in other threads on forum , maybe you'll find something or they will help you.
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
Rubbish. Its pirated the 'chinese merchants' brought nothing.
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
That's your oppinion, everybody has one and sticks to it.
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
Not an opinion. Fact. Igo is available on playstore or Authorised devices. None of these chinese origin devices hacked android are licensed. Fact.

"modified IGO ISRAEL version" is cracked software.

Reported.
[Android Head-Units] jasonsouthgate:
I have found a way to get into developer settings and factory settings by doing os/kernal trick. But still nothing there to stop autostart. I have also seen on here there are several posts about igo supplied on all these units is modified not illegal!
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Do as you will, FACT is not, piracy is used also in moded sotwares for android across this forum, and yet ? NO COMPLAINTS !
[Android Head-Units] jasonsouthgate:
What I have found so far is that so called experts think certain things don't exist or are illegal. When I have seen plenty of other comments on this site asking similar things about igo and are not questioned. I asked a simple question not for a load off.
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
I've previously reported these. Xda moderator now wants proof and will email NNG and link to this discussion of pirated software.

Igo is not modded. It is cracked pirated software being discussed here.
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
Link to seller of your Chinese origin head unit please. I will be reporting XDA and seller to NNG as this complaint of discussion of pirated software is yet to be responded appropriately by XDA administration.

[General Questions and Answers] moxod98385:
Hello. I have a little bit of a problem with an Honor phone.

So, a "family friend" just gave me her honor phone (no idea which one it is, looks pretty old), and asked me if I can somehow get into the phone as she is logged in her facebook account there. So basically I just need to somehow get into the phone so she can change her Facebook email or phone number of the account or something.

When I turn on the phone, it asks for the PIN of course. Now my question is, can I somehow access FB app or somehow unlock the phone without paying too much for certain software?

All she really needs is an access to that facebook account that is logged in on that phone so that she can get the account back.

Thanks.

When entering an email address in a field that Samsung Keyboard detects as an email textbox, once you've entered the 'username@' you're given 3 autocomplete choices for gmail.com, outlook.com, and yahoo.com. How could I modify that list to substitute my own domain?

PS: I know you can edit the user autocomplete dictionary, which I've done to have '@Shortcut' give my desired domain, but to get that to work, it must be preceded by a space - ie 'username @Shortcut' which then has to be edited to remove the space once autocompleted - which is annoying.

So any thoughts?
