Then you'll suffer from the slow charging and small battery 😂
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Arcide:
And lack of photo quality lol. Seeing that example in post #2, and how the iphone looks like water painting and has zero color detail, always cracks me up.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Arcide:
Even though there's nothing inherently wrong with that mod and configuration, I've released newer ones for AGC 9.1 and also LMC 8.3 just a few days ago. It can be found on telegram group (and channel) if you search for "Xiaomi 11 ultra gcam" on telegram.

Ah I'm just now seeing this is a revive of an old thread and that post is not April 2024 but actually 2023 😂
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Qidamin:
Do you have any issue with the zoom camera? I find the quality is horrible, subjects are always out of focus and not sharp at all. I use a gcam version for the x5 zoom and it is night and day with official app! so much better. I am on Xiaomi.eu rom, and just don't understand there can be so much quality difference between 2 apps!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] mbfamily:
Fooled me too :LOL:

I thought "What? Why did I post Mi11U pictures? I don't have that phone anymore"... then I realized the post was from 2023. :ROFLMAO:

To think about what this 2021 phone was already capable of gives me nostalgia :D

Hi guys, what it could be if I snooze the reminder many many times, in the end it comes up actually even nor showing neither sounding in any way (but I know it is this particular reminder is going off) resulting in firing up the backlight which stays on forever. After it I can't turn the phone off, it just doesn't respond to the power button press. The only way out is reset. After reset that reminder is showing up with sound and all on-screen notifications as it supposed to, leaving <blank entry> in the notification queue.

Hello, i just bought the RM8pro and i want to root with Delta. As for normal phone we just need to use TWRP and flash delta zip but i saw root guide in these forum need to use pre rooted boot image but it is normal Magisk :( can someone help me how to root for Delta
[Red Magic 8 pro] batuken:
Mine is rooted with Magisk Delta. The procedure is the same with that of original Magisk:

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Patch init_boot.img with Magisk Delta app

3. Flash patched init_boot

Wow, and I always thought that network bands are hardware that can't be added...

How's that possible?
[General Topics] DEV845:
Hi

I have been using this flashed US Bands thing on my phone, and I notice there's few places that my phone just gets thrown off service, I can be in middle of a call and the call ends, etc

Also I miss a lot of calls due to it getting thrown off service in certain areas. (not talking here in basements etc, just random on street)

Anybody else experience such issues?
[General Topics] CatStoleTheCrown:
I'm sorry I haven't had any issues at all except for one time when I ran out of data unknowingly. What phone provider are you with? You might have to manually add their APNs to your settings.
[General Topics] CatStoleTheCrown:
That's what they'd like you to believe! It can be mostly true, but since the F21 has a US clone, the F30, I was able to make it work via their files. Next thing I really want to try is adding more bands if possible. But it involves hex editing perhaps which I'm no good at.
[General Topics] murtaza217:
If you figure this out 🥲. Love my f21 so much since I used your guide
[General Topics] samtee237:
Can someone post a step by step video on how to do this
[General Topics] shloime154:
Will this work on f22 pro also?
[General Topics] moogpunk:
Hi there! Thanks so much for the guide and the files

I followed all your instructions with my brand new F21 pro unlocked that I got from aliexpress, 64/4 version. when the phone arrived, it was already unlocked and had TWRP installed. So I went to follow your tutorial from that point. I specifically bought this phone to use on Verizon for a family member that does not use smart phones so this would be big upgrade for them, since most of the options for Verizon basic phones are bad choices.

Anyway, I consider myself fairly intelligent and computer savvy, I followed your instructions exactly and got no errors both times. first, I got the green checkmark after downloading the files then I did the imei writing I got the green PASS with 0 errors

so I go to turn the phone on, the system now appears "kosher." the Chinese play store is gone, etc. the system is telling me there is a software update which I ignore... when I plug the SIM card into the phone, I am not getting any cellular reception, however the phone does see that sim belongs with Verizon. my phone number shows up in the about section, as well as the original imei and Mac and bluetooth address. so it appears my writing to the phone was successful, but for some reason the bands are not active. I can do wifi calling with Verizon but not over cellular.

I really dont think I did anything wrong but I do have a question was the sp flash tool supposed to only say "download" in the drop down box from the first step?? was it supposed to be install and format??? I left it on download because I wasn't instructed to change anything and went about my business but I am just trying to figure out what went wrong.

again, I want to reiterate, the Verizon employee said they did not see the imei I provided to them with my current sim already in the phone, so why could they not see the f21 pro with original imei and lte bands after your guide? was he lying because they do not want me to use this phone? he asked me if the phone was Samsung and I just said yeah, he was foreign and I didn't feel like explaining.

really trying to figure out what went wrong here. it's frustrating that you can get it to work but I can't. I successfully copied the imei, Mac and Bluetooth address so I dont think that is it. when I go to look at the bands in the developer menu, I do not see the bands you mention with a check box next them. does that mean they are not active??

I really dont want to have to return this phone or sell it because it was a gift and it is actually quite nice for the money. so I put the SIM card back in the old basic phone (sonim xp5) and naturally, it is working as it should... this is a LTE sim and both phones use LTE, so I do not see what the problem is

is there something that must be changed manually in the cellular settings after sim insertion such as LTE/ CDMA only or something like that? again I am on Verizon and I have decent coverage where I am trying this.

thanks
[General Topics] Potential_Threat:
Hey there,

The fact that the bands aren't checked off in engineering mode indeed means that the bands aren't active (I did it and the bands showed up) you should of course redo the setup carefully in case you might have missed a step.

About Sp flash tool all you have to press is the green download arrow at the top of the window. And remember to make sure to deselect the preloader partition.

And not sure if I understood you correctly but you mentioned that after you finished the process you got the full kosher version on the phone, that shouldn't be the case because we are only copying the necessary partitions from the f30 for the service to work(I might have misunderstood you on that last one).
[General Topics] moogpunk:
I had prepared the phone for the user I bought it for thinking I did al the steps right. when I realized the phone wasnt working, I re did the tutorial. it wiped all the apps and work I had previously done on the phone such as adding the play store, certification, etc and various apps. it was ready to go... so when I did the tutorial again, starting at the step where you load the F30 files, the phone appeared "kosher" when I flashed it and was once again app less... that is what I meant. it looked like I had started over.

was there anything about the bootloader or the unlocking process that may have not been done properly by the seller of the phone? Again, the phone arrived to me already unlocked and with TWRP installed so I skipped all those steps thinking I wouldn't need to do them.

what did I do wrong if I erased all the apps and the kosher version got installed and wiped the stuff I had already done when I tried to redo the process ?? I'm literally just following the instructions on a brand new phone.

the only thing I could think that I did wrong was skip the unlocking process but I only did that because I assumed the phone was already unlocked. I would assume it's unlocked if TWRP was already installed.... am I wrong ?
[General Topics] nemoslumbers:
Do you mean you bought the version with the Google play store ("unlocked") and that's why you bypassed the other stuff?
[General Topics] nemoslumbers:
And now with the kosher version, are you following the steps to fully unlock it first?
[General Topics] moogpunk:
I admit I skipped the unlocking part because I bought the "google unlocked world" version from aliexpress, and so I assumed it was done. and in the developer menu it said the phones boot loader was already unlocked... and the phone had TWRP already, so I assumed in order for TWRP to be there, it was unlocked already.

so I guess you are telling me that I shouldn't have skipped it because it wasn't truly unlocked then? okay, I will try it again.

I do not have the kosher version, I was referring to my f21pro phone after flashing with scatter f30 file.

also I just realized that when I was trying to unlock I was holding the wrong two "top buttons" I thought it was the owl button and the back button, not the camera button and the back button
[General Topics] nemoslumbers:
Maybe give the two top buttons a try before trying the full unlock route? Only a suggestion! I also got the google unlocked world version and was going to try putting all of this on here this weekend. Hoping we don't actually have to go through the full unlock process and maybe it was just the wrong button combo!
[General Topics] moogpunk:
I've read some conflicting reports about which buttons it's supposed to be. The actual readme says it's the top two buttons (Owl+back) and someone else, an administrator here actually, posted a photo circling the #+back button.... and someone liked that post assuming it was true

also, someone else said you can only get into TWRP by holding the Star and Owl button when the phone turns on then you have to immediately press the up and back button to boot into TWRP... which isn't entirely true... all you have to do is hold Star+Owl button to boot into TWRP...

I will admit I am new to the world of modding phones but not modding electronics which is why I felt confident enough to take on this project. I have modified many iPods with rockbox in my day and done physical modifications. I find this fun but it's teetering on extremely frustrating.

I am going to have to do the entire unlock process from the very beginning because I don't have any other choice, otherwise I am left with a phone I cannot use on Verizon. it will be waste of ~140usd. not the fault of the aliexpress seller, just poorly written instructions and dumb windows compatibility issues.
[General Topics] moogpunk:
I cannot get the phone unlocked because I cannot get my computer to recognize the phone via usb. no amount of button combinations are letting my windows computer see the phone so I cannot unlock it.
[General Topics] samtee237:
My phone has a unlocked bootloader and I found some other processes online to flash the TWRP image part of the process is rebooting your phone to bootloader so it comes up on my screen flash boot but for some reason my computer doesn't pick it up when I run the flash command it says waiting for device
[General Topics] nemoslumbers:
Which process for flashing it did you use? And did you already have the unlocked google version with a bootloader like the moogpunk user above?

Also, I don't mean to be rude, but it's for the sake of clarity: it's a bit hard to tell if you mean you successfully did something or ran into issues. Could you put some periods in your post?
[General Topics] moogpunk:
On step five it says to only check off three files, but they are not on this list unless they are under a different name. What am I missing?

Where is nvcfg??? Nvdata? Nvram?? I see md1mg_a but that is it
[General Topics] Potential_Threat:
Okay I see your problem you did not select the correct scatter file.

The correct files are in "F30 US LTE Bands Package>F30 US LTE Bands Package>F30 Modem Files for Flashing with SPFlash Tool", in there you'll see MT6761_Android_scatter - edited.txt look at attached screenshot.
[General Topics] Potential_Threat:
I can see the scatter loading file on your screen is that of an F21, you have to change that to the location mentioned in my previous post. I think the scatter file you're loading in your pic is the one used to unlock the phone's bootloader in the first step.
[General Topics] Potential_Threat:
Do you think you made this mistake while doing it the first time around? Hence the bands not changing issue.
[General Topics] moogpunk:
100% UNLOCK SUCCESS I WILL UPDATE LATER THANKS!

FYI, YOU CAN DO THIS ENTIRE TUTORIAL ON A VIRTUAL MACHINE -EXCEPT- UNLOCK YOUR F21 WHICH YOU DO NEED A WINDOWS COMPUTER FOR BECAUSE YOU CANNOT PROPERLY INSTALL USBDK DRIVERS ON A MAC VIRTUAL MACHINE. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET YOUR COMPUTER TO RECOGNIZE THE PHONE DURING THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCK PROCESS, A NATIVE WINDOWS COMPUTER

EVERYTHING ELSE CAN BE DONE ON OSX

Happy to have helped :D
[General Topics] moogpunk:
okay ive been testing the phones cellular connectivity and it seems it doesn't hold a phone call for longer than 1 minute and then I get an error telling me to enable wifi calling. is this due to my geographical location or does Verizon think something weird is going on and im getting booted?

is there any reason for my to call Verizon and register this imei with them??? the phone I am swapping was already activated and on a plan with a SIM card on a currently active network so I dont think the issue is that... but perhaps the connectivity of the new phones network settings, something in the software settings? I already reset all the cellular settings on the phone. guessing. I don't really know what I am talking about.

im having the same problem. did you figure this out? do you have a 4g SIM card and not a 5g one? I wonder if there is something going on in the phones settings where it is switching networks or something automatically when in poor reception areas

I called Verizon they said that it might be that my SIM card is outdated (4g) vs 5g SIM card... but if that is not the issue they said its the device. im hoping its just an outdated SIM card.

they were asking me for the ICC ID number for the new device which was not showing up on my phone in the about section with the SIM card installed. there was not even anything in the menu for it "ICC". why couldn't I find the ICCID? did I do something wrong when I wrote the IMEI information to the new phone? Again, the phone will make a perfectly fine phone call for about 1 minute and then drop. cell towers will completely blank out for about 10 seconds and then ill get normal reception again. it seems like it's constantly rebooting cell tower coverage on its own or something? even if I don't make a phone call, the reception will completely drop and then come back every 60-90 seconds... why? it's so frustrating that I am so close to getting this work perfectly and the phone is fully rooted, unlocked, up to date with apps but doesn't hold a call for longer than a minute! I'd rather not to be able to make a phone call at all. First, it didn't work unless I made a call on wifi calling only... now I can get network calls to work temporarily... it's like I am inching closer to the finish line.

how do I manually add Verizons apns to my settings?

yes I think I was just doing things out of order which was my mistake, but the truth is nothing would have really worked until I properly unlocked the phone the right way. now that I have confirmed my VZW LTE Bands are active, I have a new set of issues.
[General Topics] Potential_Threat:
I've been having the "getting thrown off tower and then back on again" With US Mobile, but verizon direct works just fine.
[General Topics] moogpunk:
I've opted not to return the phone and hope that either someone figures this out or I did something wrong because its a nice little device

this might be a stupid question but does Verizon consider this a dumb phone or smart phone when they see it on their network? or does it not matter? like, this doesn't require a data plan right? because the phone it's replacing is a sonim xp5 which does not have a data plan. is that why they are booting me?

If anyone knows how To flash the complete F30 Firmware(Including the locked down kosher parts) onto the F21? Would be greatly appreciated.

I've been told to flash the super partition, but when I did that, after turning the phone on, it booted into TWRP.
[General Topics] amberumbrella:
Thank you for this! I got my phone in last night and got it working today!

Things of note:

In the rooting guide (I did the whole thing), I had to both:​

- Manually install a magisk apk I downloaded online​

- In the "how to root" section, I had to do part 1 of step 12 (magisk hide) out of order (after step 23 iirc)​

Once I figured out I had to do those, it went by much smoother. I recognize those aren't directly from your guide, but I know it can be helpful to others who will use your guide regardless.

Thanks again for sharing! Coming from a Palm PVG-100 to the Qin F21; I'm very excited to use this phone :D

Questions for the people here: has anyone had any issues receiving MMS messages since making the switch? I haven't been able to download any when it was working just fine on my previous phone (Light Phone 2), but now I can't even download ones that are just long texts let alone images. I went to a Verizon store and asked them about it and they told me it was probably an issue with the fact that the device wasn't approved, but unless no one who's done this has received a single MMS message besides me, I imagine this is something on my end?
[General Topics] nemoslumbers:
Are you just using Google Messages, or something else?

Fun Tip For this guide as well as the rooting and PlayStore guides:

Try Using a USB 3.1 port from computer

And a good Quality wire

I saw a world of difference doing so while using the rooting tool, SPFlash Tool & SNWriter tool.

While using a regular USB port and/or a low quality wire It would take way longer and sometimes made me have to rerun those programs.
[General Topics] Potential_Threat:
If anyone could please help me Flash The full F30 firmware(meaning along with the kosher firmware) onto the F21 Would Be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like that was pretty easy to do and the only hard part was to only flash The Modem Partitions, Hence this guide, But I unfortunately couldn't figure it out, If I try flashing any F30 partitions other than the provided modem partitions, when powering on the phone it boots directly into TWRP instead of into android.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[General Topics] boogie2325:
Hello and thank you for the tutorial.

I am stuck at the SN Writer tool after entering the IMEI, BT and WIFI mac addresses. No way that it pushes forward and shows the attached error. I have used different USB cables as well, OEM ones but still fails.

Also, after the error Qin f21 pro shows imei number as 012345678901234 and does not connect to T-mobile network. I have re-run the steps to no avail.

If anyone of you please guide me it will be awesome.

Thanks in advance.
[General Topics] Sasa1991:
Just tested this guide.

I have both, the f21pro and the f30.

The process working well, and indeed the bands list showing the f30 bands, however I can't see any affect on the signal itself. I mean, the original f21pro also working partially on USA, because some bands are supported in USA, however the signal still same as it was before the process, unlike the f30, which have perfect signal

I think it's not really changing something, it's only changing the list from where the device getting the bands list. However the real bands coming probably from the hardware
[General Topics] baruchtosh7:
Thank you so much the guidance the problem is once I change that to US bands it doesn't go down to 3G it stays 4G Sutton Canada it won't work how can I make it should still be the old bands an add on to that the US band

This is very interesting.

After configuring the US bands has anyone been able to make it to work with US mobile LTE?

When I slip in the sim it connects to the Network right away and Says Verizon. but after a minute or so it disconnects and continues doing so repeatedly.

Will this process make my phone work on Verizon network
[General Topics] Potential_Threat:
So 80% of the time it will. But sometimes being that the IMEI is not recognized by Verizon as an IMEI that's supposed to work with their service it will keep on throwing it off the network.

The only fix for that is flashing a Verizon approved IMEI onto this phone with SN writer tool, Only problem with flashing IMEI'S, is that it's pretty illegal.

It shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't use two devices with the same IMEI simultaneously on the same network.

Ok just to clarify If I have a account with TracFone with previous phone's IMEI registered with them and I flash that IMEI on to my qin it shouldn't be a prob?

No that you shouldn't be using 2 different sim cards in both phones at the same time.
