I didn't find this thread before running through the lineage steps for the other old/dopinder model thread (and the oddsolutions.us guide). needless to say, i softbricked my device when i flashed the wrong dtb.img, dtbo.img, and lineage recovery.img

I get a single pixel garbage line of video output on boot now that i believe is one of the fastboot modes or appears to be when i run fastboot devices from my macbook.

fastboot devices

fastboot reboot bootloader gets me into the mode that allows unlocking and flashing images again it seems:

fastboot reboot bootloader
Rebooting into bootloader OKAY [ 0.000s]

Sending 'dtbo' (2048 KB) OKAY [ 0.106s]
Writing 'dtbo' OKAY [ 0.065s]
Finished. Total time: 0.188s

For some reason I can't seem to get the same fastboot access on my win10 laptop though which makes little sense.

I've tried with no luck:

- flashing the original dtbo.img and rebooting

- fastboot boot twrp.img using some russian image people said worked for this device

- accessing device with fastboot on win10 machine

WIth all of that said, anyone know what I can try to do to recover this box? or can anyone provide the original dtb.img and recovery.img for this YOC model?

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated!

EDIT: for anyone else in this same situation, the solution to recover the device is outlined in this thread

How do i get adb to recognize my google tv? every time i plug it in to my laptop, it just powers on even when i load it into the bootloader it doesn't recognize it. Are there any special drivers i need to install first?

Minutes after posting this, I figured it out.
[Google TV General] diverdown5150:
Okay so I got this working perfectly on mine, but unless if I'm missing something in this tutorial, just flashing vendor_boot_a/b will not work. You'll need a patched boot.img as well, that's how I got it to work for mine because I got stuck in a bootloop from not doing so. Download the OTA package in AiM2LeaRn's reply, unzip it on your computer and download "payload-dumper-go" on GitHub (I'll come back with a link or the ZIP file containing it) and extract the .bat file in it, then place it in the OTA folder containing the "payload.bin" file. Run the .bat file and you'll get all of the .img files inside it. You just need the boot.img file, the patched vendor_boot in this thread works with it as it's from the same OTA package and same version of Magisk (v26.1, 26100). I don't think it matters what device you patch it on with Magisk, all that matters is the file. So however you prefer to patch your stuff for Magisk, if you wanna do that on your phone or on an Android x86 distro, it won't matter as far as I'm aware. Once it's patched, reboot the Google TV into fastboot/bootloader mode (if you're in fastbootd, you're not in the right mode. You should see a still image of the onn splash screen) and flash the patched boot.img to both boot slots (boot_a, boot_b). And if you haven't flashed the patched vendor_boot files yet, go ahead and do that to both slots as well (vendor_boot_a, vendor_boot_b). Now run "fastboot reboot" and it should boot normally! Although at first, I had no wifi functionality until I rebooted twice. It's working normally and perfectly! I honestly have no idea why I needed to root my Google TV so badly, I don't know of anything that requires it to be rooted, but I suppose magisk modules can be installed as well minus most of the functionality. Is there any kind of custom rom to install on it? I have the 2023/YOC version by the way, I think I read earlier that LineageOS is available for it but I'm not sure.
[Google TV General] Functioner:
Others, including myself, have flashed only the vendor_boot image and had success.

Your issue may be using bootloader fastboot mode, and the fastboot host-side tool, with the suffix (_a and/or _b) explicitly included in the command line. Such as vendor_boot_a and/or vendor_boot_b instead of just vendor_boot.

Bootloader fastboot mode determines the active slot internally, so including the slot suffix in the target partition name (such as boot_a and/or boot_b) on the command line (when using bootloader fastboot) is like flashing to partition that doesn't exist.

The example command line does not use any slot suffix in the target partition name.
[Google Pixel 6a] johninor:
This started recently, perhaps after an android update. I am running totally stock android 13. My gmail notification sound should be the default notification sound - if there is a way to customize it for gmail, I haven't found it. Sometimes when an email comes in, the notification sound I hear is just a very brief ping instead of my selected default notification sound. I go into settings and my default notification sound has not changed. If I change it there to something else and then back to my preferred sound, new emails trigger the correct sound for a while. Anyone else seeing this behavior? Know how to stop it from happening?

[Google Pixel 6a] johninor:
Thanks. So I can change the notification sound on gmail and even do it per email address. That is handy. I'm still sometimes hearing very brief ping instead of my selected notification sound. I've been trying to diagnose it and I think that what I am hearing not a different sound file, but it is a distorted and truncated version of my selected sound. That's because it sounds a bit different depending on what particular sound I have assigned. ANyone out there know how to fix it?
[Nothing Phone 1] Shuyin10:
Hello !

I bought an iBasso dc03 Pro bag and I have a problem with it, I can't use the app or Tidal.

Without the app, I have sound but I feel no difference with my usual usb c adapter, and when I install the app, the dac connects, disconnects, connects....

And, without the app, if I use Tidal, it asks me if Tidal can control the dac, I accept but the message comes back in a loop. Impossible to continue...

I'm currently on Paranoid Topaz 7, could it be the rom or my dac? I'd have to test it by switching back to NOS, but I'm lazy...

Any ideas?

Édit : Here is a video of the problem. And I don't know if, since without the ibasso application I still have sound, if the dac still works or if I just have bad ears because I can't hear really no difference with or without the dac...

EDIT 2 : just a rom problem

Hello, I have the xiaomi redmi 10 5g as you can tell, I bought it from claro chile. Im confused, wherever I look it says that it has dual sim. But the sim card holder only has 1 space. I tried with a holder with dual sim and didn't recognized the 2nd sim. I wonder if the company blocked the dual sim functionality via firmware or am I just reaching?
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] parrots_:
I'm not 100% sure, it seems like the slot to the left could be something for a microsd card.
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] PoopMcDougan:
Oh it is. What im talking about is on the far right side. Its as if the holder was covered to not let us put a second sim card.
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] parrots_:
The part that's covered up doesn't appear to match up with the SIM cards I've seen. Usually most, if not all SIM cards have a small cut, meanwhile the covered up slot appears to just be a rectangle.

[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] JuandePL:
I'm stuck in bootloop after flashing MIUI in my phone with this guide. It doesnt have developer mode enabled cause I factory resetted it and since I can't enter my phone there's not much I can do about it.

The only 2 things I can access to are FastBoot and Recovery. I can only execute fastboot comands and enter adb as sideload.

I also have a non-rooted device. It unrooted itself when I flashed MIUI again.

List of things I tried to do:

Tried to unlock bootloader with MediatekBootloaderUnlock. No result.

Tried to boot TWRP, can't do that since bootloader it's locked.

Tried to wipe data from recovery and reboot. Stills bootloops.

I've followed so many guides and stuff that I dont know what to do at this point.

Can I do something to bring my phone back, or is it a paperweight now?

Hi,

I just received the Oneplus 11.

Weirdly enough, it doesn't recognize i connected an external monitor.

I know the adapter is good because it works on other devices.

I have already unlocked the developer features:

*Force activities to be resizable.

*Enable freeform windows.

*Force desktop mode.

*Enable non-resizeable in multi window.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

2.when ever I pause a video on YouTube, when I click play.. video will play but the sound is not playing for 3 seconds.

4.whenever the person in the video stop talking, but then start talking again, the sound will only come out after 3 second.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
Even if you are locked adb reboot bootloader should take you to (real) fastboot.

Unless they killed fastboot on your device just to be mean.

I think I'm running into this on an unrelated device.

You can always try adb reboot fastboot which gets you to recovery with fastbootd, maybe.

fastbootd has different capabilities than fastboot.

[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] luridphantom:
mtkclient is your answer, already rooted my 30xe
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] Brittany120:
I can’t find an mtkclient file to work without viruses…. Im working with a tcl t601Dl
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] Jet667:
How did you use it though? I installed it but what do I do to get recovery options
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] qwertyuiop1289:
You won't get these options. MTKClient allows you to unlock bootloader not via fastboot, but by directly writing modified seccfg using the brom mode. You can still flash TWRP over the incomplete stock recovery (but as there is no one for this phone, you need to port it or compile it yourself)
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] qwertyuiop1289:
If you want, I can help you with it, I don't have a lot of experience with it (some time ago ported booting twrp to my old LG K50, but it didn't mount most partitions correctly...), but I'm familiar with android things, which is better than nothing.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] Jet667:
Thanks but that’s too much for me, I’m so new to all this. Also I have tcl 502 I should have mentioned but not sure that that changes anything.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] qwertyuiop1289:
With "help" I have meant that you would send me boot and recovery and I will try to port or compile it and you will test it. If it will not work, you can easily restore the factory recovery image with mtkclient.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] qwertyuiop1289:
It also has a mediatek SoC, so you can also try to unlock it with mtkclient
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] Jet667:
How could I do this and what do you mean by send boot and recovery
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] qwertyuiop1289:
Boot and recovery are partitions. To root phone with Magisk, you need to flash a patched (with injected Magisk) boot image. Recovery is where you need to flash TWRP. It is nothing more than an alternative boot image that you can boot into using key combination or ADB or fastboot command. Some phones do not have separate recovery partition (it's merged into boot).

Both can be dumped using MTKClient.

I'll send you instructions in about 5 minutes
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] qwertyuiop1289:
So, MTKClient is a powerful tool that allow you to:

dump any partitions or even whole flash memory as well as write

unlock bootloader even if the manufacturer doesn't want you to do so (also on devices without fastboot)

do some other things, but you probably don't need them

It's powerful, but also can easily brick your device. So you should take a full backup (flash memory dump). Without this do not perform any write operations (write partitions or unlock bootloader). If you have full flash dump, the only way you can brick your device is when the memory of your phone would die. Unless your phone is a 10 years old Samsung S3 actively used since it was bought, it won't happen.

Oh, I forgot: I'm not responsible if you will brick your device. But as I said, it's really unlikely.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] qwertyuiop1289:
Okay so let's begin.

​

MTKClient installation (source)​

Install Git, Python 3, UsbDk (direct links: Git, Python 3, UsbDk)

Open cmd/PowerShell (in your user directory)

git clone https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
cd mtkclient
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Type python3 mtk_gui. A window should open.

Congratulations, MTKClient is installed properly.

You will need a good USB cable ("good" means it's stable and can transfer data to PC).

Full backup​

Note: It will take looooong time (about 30 minutes)

It will also take large amount of your disk space (about 30 gb)

Open cmd/PowerShell where you installed mtkclient (probably C:/Users/<your username>/mtkclient)

python3 mtk_gui to open mtkclient gui

Power off your device.

Now the hardest step. You have to find out the key combo that enters BROM mode. It will not display anything, the screen will be still off. Try holding Vol+, Vol-, both volume buttons, and connect USB (it should already be connected to PC, but not to the phone). If the screen shows anything, it's not BROM, you have to power off the phone and try again. If you see that the mtkclient reacts and there is no "Handshake failed, retrying..." message, your phone is detected. After a while the main mtkclient gui should show up.

Go to the "Read" tab and select all partitions. Then make sure to untick userdata (or it will dump also the data partition, which will take 128/256/512 gb depending on your model). Then click the "Read partition(s)" button.

Wait until the process will complete, and do not touch your phone. Make sure to (temporary) disable auto-sleep.

Store the backup in safe place.

Hey, I really appreciate your thorough instruction but no button combinations will get me into brom. They all start turning the phone on.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] qwertyuiop1289:
@luridphantom how did you enter brom?
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] qwertyuiop1289:
Just to be sure you are doing it correctly: you have to hold both volume buttons and immidentially connect usb. Also, make sure the USB cable you are using can transfer data, otherwise it won't work.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] Jet667:
I just tried a few more times and the phone just keeps starting up, it will not work. I tried two different cables, one of which is the charger that came with the phone (brand new) and one that is definitely also good. I would hold the volume buttons down and connect the cable not even a second after and in 5 seconds the tcl logo would come on screen, beginning to boot up. I also tried with all other possible combinations of power and volume and had the same outcome.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] qwertyuiop1289:
Try adb reboot edl while mtkclient already open, this may also work.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] Jet667:
Sorry but how do I enter that while mtkclient is running. I dont get an opportunity to input any more commands one I open it because it just continues doing the following...
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] Jet667:
and when i closed mtk client to do it I get:

C:\Users\turbo\mtkclient>adb reboot edl

error: no devices/emulators found
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] qwertyuiop1289:
So it's probably a problem with drivers... Go to windows update -> additional updates -> driver updates and install the one called "xxx ADB interface" or something similar. It should start working now.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] Jet667:
Dont have it
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] qwertyuiop1289:
Okay, so google for "tcl adb driver" and then try some ones. You can also boot a live linux distro (maybe Ubuntu or reLiveDVD v4, with mtkclient preinstalled) as linux does not require drivers.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] Jet667:
K im starting to get lost in the sauce here. But I downloaded a driver and got this to work:

Couldnt do anything else though.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] qwertyuiop1289:
You have to start mtkclient in one terminal and run ADB reboot edl in another.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] Jet667:
this happened. The phone restarted and the left cmd stopped there. Then i redid the adb reboot edl after a minute and the left cmd resumed and started saying handshake failed
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] qwertyuiop1289:
Did the phone restart normally after this command? If not, it's probably in brom mode. It may be again a problem with drivers... If in device manager there is an "unknown device", try googling for "mtk preloader vcom driver". Then your device should be detected properly.
[T-Mobile REVVL V+ 5G] Jet667:
So I installed a driver using this https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-windo...64-bit-driver-install-tutorial.3264884/page-2 . And this is what happened:
