[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
Thanks for the input.

I don't even know about these seven segments so yeah, count them as unintentional.

I checked the untouched original firehose for that other person's device (Redmi note 9T) and there were three lines missing from the patched one which were present in the official firehose.

So I too tried deleting those same lines from my own firehose file for the poco f3.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Renate:
Sorry to be so ignorant, but what are these "lines" that you speak of?

What/where is the original that you started with?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
As you can see in this image, searching under "auth" in xelfviewer, the first three lines are present in the untouched firehose file but these same lines are missing in the patched one. So I assumed this is what the other person did.

I downloaded the ROM for Redmi note 9T and got the original firehose file from there.

The image is of the original Poco f3 firehose.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Renate:
Oh. Link please?

You can't fix things by getting rid of strings like that.

You would have to bypass the whole random number challenge/encrypted response stuff.

That's not that difficult, the difficulty is the signing.

We're in murky waters here, but when I hear someone say, "I patched this Firehose loader" I believe they are really saying, "I got a leaked engineering Firehose loader from my friend who just lost their job and is pissed off" or "Hey, I got the private signing key so I did my own build!" I think people are saying, "It fell off the back of a truck!" If I am wrong here, I'd certainly like to hear a correction.

One of the challenging thing is that everybody wants to use manufacturer's tools where you have no idea what's going on or if/where roadblocks are implemented.

If folks would at least try generic tools we could at least get some insight on what is going on.

Yes, I can see this challenge/response stuff but it's not even easy to see if it's enabled offhand.

The same goes for VIP which is often implemented but sometimes? often? not enabled.

Xiaomi Firmware Updater

The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.

xiaomifirmwareupdater.com

The firehose file is in the "images" folder. It is named prog_ufs_firehose_sm8250_ddr_5.elf

I can't disagree with anything you said.

Nevertheless this is the very limit of my already limited technical abilities.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
For reference, here are both the Redmi firehose files. Patched and untouched.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Renate:
You've got me all confused. Here are the three that you posted:

C:\>unzip /l "Firehose Test.zip"
359363 736973 prog_ufs_firehose_sm8250_ddr_5.elf

C:\>unzip /l "(Untouched Redmi) prog_firehose_ddr.zip"
270067 672124 prog_firehose_ddr.elf

C:\>unzip /l "(Patched Redmi) prog_firehose_ddr.zip"
264082 660620 prog_firehose_ddr.elf

The sizes don't make any sense. Nor do the contents.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
Oh, sorry about that.

The one that has ddr_5 at the end is the Poco F3 firehose. The ones that only have ddr are for the redmi note 9.

The redmi ones are labelled at the start of the filename "(Untouched Redmi)" and "(Patched Redmi)". The untouched one is completely unedited right out of the official rom folder.

Edit: Do you need the untouched Poco firehose? I already linked the rom website, but if you need I can upload the original firehose file.

Edit 2: Uploaded it.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Renate:
So, of the three Firehose loaders that you posted, only one is related to the Poco F3?

You can't change software by removing strings any more than you can make drain cleaner drinkable by crossing out "poison" on the label.

Also, however you repacked this wrecked everything anyway.

And moreover, you haven't even gotten to the point where your device is trying to accept a Firehose loader.

And you don't need a bricked device to test EDL. You can non-destructively test it on a normally functional device.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
I see. Thank you for the input.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
I did try it but as I said I cannot get past the "hello packet" thing. I read that holding down the power button for about 15 seconds and then connecting fixes this, but as my phone isn't bricked holding down the power button simply boots the phone up.

Hence the thread.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Renate:
Ok, but the second step is to use the USB information to see if you are actually in 05c6/9008 mode.

The first step is to get there.

Have you tried:

C:\>adb reboot edl

Have you tried:

C:\>adb shell
$ reboot edl

(The two are not necessarily identical.)

Have you tried a "deep flash" a/k/a EDL cable?

Do not use any wacky Miflash/Xiaomi/Poco software as it could run away and do whatever it wants.

Use generic EDL clients that will only do what you want.

If you only try to list the GPT or try to read partitions no harm will be done.

Undoubtedly you will run into this stupid Poco sig stuff but at least you can confirm that you can get Sahara to work and get the Firehose loader to load and execute.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
I have already been using "fastboot oem edl" to get to EDL mode (adb reboot edl does not work).

I can see the phone as the right 9008 port in device manager. I only use official Miflash.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Renate:
Ok, then enjoy.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
I think I misunderstood. Should I not use miflash? I thought it is what you meant by generic.

Edit: Oh, it get it. I thought you meant those wacky variants of miflash by third parties. It seems you mean official Miflash is to be avoided too. Am I right?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Renate:
This thread started on modifying Firehose loaders. I know something about that.

If we're talking about Xiaomi software, I know nothing about that and don't care to know anything about it.

A generic EDL client would allow you to exercise everything up to the (presumed) Poco sig roadblock.

In all probability, the Chinese have implemented things correctly and you can neither modify the Firehose loader nor bypass the sig.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
Alright. Thank you.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Renate:
If you did try to use a generic EDL client then at least it would be clear that there is no problem with your desktop or your phone.

Can u edit firehose file for poco x3 pro i have bricked poco x3 pro that only boot in edl I'm attaching original firehose file

If you read the previous posts you will find that it is extremely unlikely to work. But I will give it a try to see at least what errors you get.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] nandika6:
Hi!

I have a Samsung Fold 4, about 6 months old.

Recently the phone (SIM) module and the WIFI stopped working. Bluetooth is still working without problems (phone works as a Tesla key).

When I go into the settings / About phone, IMEI (slot 1 and slot 2) is shown as Unknown.

WIFI is not turning on, it's just stuck at "Turning on..." and goes back to Off after a minute or so.

The phone is from an unknown source (bought it second hand from advertisement). Is it possible that the phone has been disabled by Samsung, or just the radio module died somehow? It's not even possible to call emergency number, when I dial it it tells me to turn off airplane mode (it's not turned on anyways).

After several reboot attempts it once came back online I was able to call & use mobile data, but WIFI never worked again. The battery drained after this, and now the phone module is not coming back after millions of restarts..

Anybody experienced the same problems with the fold 4?

Online support told me to reset network settings & reboot, but that didn't work. Now they are telling me to restore the phone completely, could that solve the problem?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] ark666:
Hi, I´ve had a similar issue last month, also, the inner screen protector was starting to peel off, took it to Samsung service, since it was under warranty, and the phone came as good as new, in fact better than it was, now the hinge is completely silent, it wasn´t.

In the service sheet, they´ve replaced the batteries, outer and inner screen with frame and the comm modules.

I advise you to send it to Samsung for repair.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] nandika6:
Thanks for your reply, just checked, it's October puchase, so still under warranty, but it's a NON-EU (UK) phone, so not sure, if they will handle it in warranty.. I'll try to bring it in to an EU Samsung store so they will probably repair it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] ark666:
Do that, I´ve bought mine in August of 2022, CSC EUX, I had no issue whatsoever, it took a week to repair, and had a 6 month warranty extension.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] iceepyon:
Yeah, I had a similar issue with my Fold 3. The Spen stopped working in certain areas in the main display and audio wasn't working when it was unfolded. The tech in the Service Center said that they need to replace the main display and the hinge.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] runs:
Maybe you can update the rom onetimes
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] nandika6:
Tried to update via SamFW Tool. I tried first to do a Factory Reset while the phone was still working, but it needed internet access to sign out from google account, so it stopped.

Update was successful but still no WIFI or cellular, and also I got locked out by FRP lock, since I'm unable to get the phone to the internet, I'm unable to unlock it damn. Will look nice when I bring it in for warranty.

Also local Samsung told me on the phone, the UK warranty is not working here in the EU, I need to take it back to the UK. Not really satisfied with this, I always thought these warranties are Worldwide or at least Europe wide...

Is there a way to provide tethering or somehow internet access by USB cable or bluetooth? Or if I buy a USB wifi is it possible to use that for activation of the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] ark666:
Hi again nandika6,

Regarding the factory reset, since you have that connection issue, it´ll stop there, as it has happened to me the same, Samsung services will remove the FRP lock and update the firmware of the device.

As for warranty, the UK is out the European Union, if you´ve bought it in the EU, the warranty would be valid for the European Economic Area and Switzerland, you must send your device to Samsung UK, contact them and send them the phone.

As for the last question, I don´t know if those work or if there´s any other way to connect the device to the internet.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] nandika6:
Yes thanks for your time and replies, I was thinking about sending the phone to a relative in UK in post, but wouldn't they need to pay import taxes before they bring it to a service center? And after they send it back to me do I need to pay taxes again for import? This is a special case I never met before.

This is getting so hard I ordered a new S23U and if this is resolved and I get back the Fold, I'll decide which one to keep... or I'll somehow remove the FRP lock if it works with a USB wireless or some kind of tethering, and just sell the phone for parts / for someone who can bring it to a UK service center...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] ark666:
@nandika6

Just contact Samsung support in the UK, it'll be a lot cheaper sending the device directly to them, sending it to a relative or a friend will be somewhat expensive, I'm sure they'll help you the customs part, it's easy.

I too have bought an S23U, it's a solid device, so now I've both and prefer the Fold4, mainly because of the inner screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] nandika6:
UK Live support told me they don't handle international shipments :(

Only thing I can think of if I give the phone to someone who is traveling there. Warranty repairs can be done in a week or so?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] iceepyon:
Yeah, that is a pain about the Samsung Service Centers. Each one operates independently in their respective country base.

You could try connecting using an USB Type-C ethernet adapter, which is connected to your home router to access internet on your device. Then sign out of your Google Account on your device that way. But I don't think that will make a difference as it seems to be hardware related.

You would be better off shipping your device to a relative and asking them to take it into Samsung for repairs.

[Android TV General] journeyer7:
Hello,

I know https://konstakang.com

And there are AOSP versions and Lineage versions.

I tried AOSP version. It was buildable and installable into raspberrypi4. O.K. But with the installed AOSP version of Android I could not do many interesting works. It seems unstable. Developement setting doesn't seemed to work.

Lineage versions seems that they don't provide android source code or the doesn't guide how to repo sync and compile the android. They seemed to work well though.

I'd like to find any android that is compilable and installable into raspberrypi 4 and works well - especially the developper settings.

I think Lineage versions from the https://konstakang.com works well. They only simply don't provide guide how to compile the android. Can I find this how to myself? How can I find this information?

Could someone help me?

Hi, today i am gonna give a repartitionar for m20, lot of current GSI's doesn't fit M20 since it have low system size, and from today you can install any GSI you want, all of repartitionar is modified and provided by me

Note: !! I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, so you have to flash it at your own risk !!

The repartitioning decreases a little data storage a to increase system or vendor.

Stock system size: 3400mb/3.4gb

Stock vendor size: 432mb

There are 4 type of file, evertime flashing will delete your data, and choosen partition. You can flash unlimited times.

1: System: changes system to 4120mb/4gb, best for lot of GSI's.

2: LargeSystem: changes system to 5120mb/5gb, best for extra large GSI's.

3: Vendor: changes vendor to 680mb, Incase if anyone needs to port other roms vendor.

4: Reverter: changes system and vendor back to normal/stock, if you want your little data back.

Device: M20XX

Firmware Version: Android 10 One Ui 2 CORE

Tested: OrangeFox and TWRP

WhatsApp compresses all files that are shared, including PDFs. This is done to reduce the file size and make it easier to send and receive files. In the case of PDFs, the file may be converted to a different format, such as DOC-20230711-WA2001.

As you can see, for some contacts (RISTORANTE INNESTO) although there is only one single entry in the contacts list, when I stead searching I get multiple results.

I cannot find a pattern: for both RISTORANTE INNESTO and STEREOMUCH I have more than one linked contact (whatsapp, whatsapp business, meet) but search for STEREOMUCH returns only one result, for RISTORANTE INNESTO two results.

Maybe some contacts were just migrated/inputted in a buggy way; you're meant to only have one result, but it somehow got messed up when migrated/inputted in. What happens when you try the Fix & Merge option? Would it still come out with two?

Anyhow, trying to fix by merging duplicates dies not work, since there are no real duplicates
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
it's not anything meaningful; I guess I just meant it didn't do so correctly. I guess it's just a glitch in how the Contacts app sorts & displays WhatsApp entries....it probably means there's nothing that can be done if it doesn't see or count each other as "duplicates".

But I do hope someone else chimes in that has the same setup, to confirm it's an established bug...

Well, for sure I have duplicates in serach only for contacts with mobile number, but not all contacts.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] schmeggy929:
I would check your google Account. In contacts under Labels, I have multiple groups for contacts. Friends, Family, Work. Check that your contacts are not in multiple groups. I think when you go the search route, the duplicates are just because they are in multiple groups.
