[OnePlus 11R (Ace 2)] RootsOnly:
so ebay sold a chinese to look like a ussa model lol

i did wonder, does my pc need android bootloader interface? ( attached )

my son said it already does , although when i try to run fastboot flashing unlock

it just says waiting for device. i though it was the reason.

also that Stock Firmware + OTA Update Collection link might be a bit too much for me :(

i get a little nervous, it talks about some real brickage going on, like i have never seen lol

1. black screen even after pressing keys

2. 9008 device in device manager

3. Qualcomm bulk device in device Manager

:X

Hardbrick Solution:

No Free solution, only MSM Auth

*what MSM?

also. maybe should just pay the $25 for some nonplus unlock guy to get it done , for brick a free oppurtunity :D

i messaged the telegram guy a senior member said is legit, i found at rom-provider before reading about it here somewhere.
[Sony Xperia M] SuperPou1:
Hello,

I was bored recently, so i decided to port the lineage os 14.1 sony nicki device tree to AOSP 11.

It took a lot of fixing of deprecated stuff in sepolicies and the outdated qcom drivers found in AOSP.

I managed to build the images, but i noticed something very wierd about the system.img file. Instead of being just the /system partition, it contained everything that would be in /. Tried to flash it anyways, nothing, stuck at sony logo. Tried to copy /system/system to /system, same thing. Tried flashing the built boot.img, the phone always booted to fastboot. tried flashing with `fastboot flashall`, got this:

--------------------------------------------
Bootloader Version...: S1_Boot_MSM_8227_5
Baseband Version.....: Unknown: May 9 2014/12:58:25
Serial Number........: YT910RC4GX
--------------------------------------------
Checking 'product' FAILED

Device product is 'Unknown: May 9 2014/12:58:25'.
Update requires 'qcom'.

fastboot: error: requirements not met!

Any ideas?

I can provide more info if needed.

can you link the device trees and other stuff? also, did you try compiling lineageos?
[Sony Xperia M] SuperPou1:
hello, i have some sad news. out of stupidity and desperation, i flashed the resulting system.img to mmcblk0, and that caused the phone to get pretty much hard-bricked, can't even boot to fastboot or flashmode. if there is any way of recovering the device, i would really like to know.

anyways, here's the original device tree i used:

GitHub - LineageOS/android_device_sony_nicki

Contribute to LineageOS/android_device_sony_nicki development by creating an account on GitHub.

if you want to see the changes that i've made, let me know.
[Sony Xperia M] notnoelchannel:
hello!

you should try getting the phone in edl mode and find firehose files - if possible.

also, i'd like to see the changes you made in vendor tree, kernel tree, and the device tree. i'm curious since this might help me a lot in bringing up LineageOS 16.0 to loganreltexx (Samsung Galaxy Ace 3)
[Sony Xperia M] notnoelchannel:
can you send me the sources then?
[Sony Xperia M] Marek8299:
Do you have backup of your mmcblk0 or at least TA partition?
[Sony Xperia M] notnoelchannel:
i don't think he has
[Sony Xperia M] SuperPou1:
Nope... I don't think there's any hope unless someone gives me a full dump and a working firehose file for this thing
[Sony Xperia M] dhanar_10:
I think I still have my C1905. It is running old lineages os. How to backup the mmcblk0? Using dd?
[Sony Xperia M] SuperPou1:
backing it up would be useful, and you can use dd for that, however i don't think i will be able to recover it without the firehose file. also be careful! dd can be dangerous if you do something dumb like i did...
[Sony Xperia M] SuperPou1:
i can post the changes i've made, i made a backup of just the changes and deleted the aosp source since it was taking up space. there might not be everything tho, and vendor files still need to be added

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] RealNovgorod:
Can I use a replacement screen assembly sold, say, in the EU (for a SM-S908B, Exynos model) with a Korean model (SM-S908N, Snapdragon)? That is, do I have to look for a screen for the specific region/CPU model or is there only one replacement screen SKU which will work with all S908 models?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
If it's the same PN# you're ok, otherwise likely not.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] RealNovgorod:
That's what I'm trying to find out, since Samsung doesn't sell any of that directly. 3rd party sellers (ebay, repair shop websites etc.) don't categorize it properly either, some put "SM-S908B" in the description, some only "S22 Ultra". So far, the few actual product numbers I saw only differ by color, so I tend to assume the phone's region or CPU version (the letter after "S908") doesn't matter, but I'd rather have a confirmation.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Yeah I see your dilemma.

It doesn't help that most are calling it an LCD!

Here's One in the Netherlands with a phone number. They say it's new.

Is it OEM with the same color rendering as origin?

Is it new?

Hell even getting a Li battery is a pain unless you have a known good vendor. Keep plugging away...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] en11gma:
from what i have read and videos i have watched (toybox) you can build the whole rom on the phone.

is this true?

is there any recent guide with Android 13 or 14 with similar processors to ours?

exynos 990/9830

would be great to do this as you would not need to cross-compile to my understanding.

i know it would take longer than a modern pc but still would be awesome.

i have seen a couple recent ones but for the pixel or a GSI but would like to see something from scratch with samsung open source kernel android 13 or 14

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] R0cketFuel:
Hi everyone,

I have hard bricked my SM-X205. At this moment screen is black. It does not power on, does not react on charger nor ODIN mode (vol+ + vol- + plug usb).

Here history of what I have done before it gets bricked:

Tablet was initially X205XXS3CWK1 after OTA update.

I was trying to install TWRP. I have successfully unlocked bootloader and entered developer mode. Then I tried TWRP image twrp_3.7.0_12-2_X200XXS1CWA3.tar.md5 from this thread https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-7-0-for-2021-galaxy-tab-a8-10-5-sm-x200.4488691/ but end with ODIN (3.14.1) failure message "Complete(Write) operation failed". I have double checked I selected developer mode, USB debugging and bootloader unlocked but still no luck, the same error in ODIN. After about 2-3hrs I give up and wanted to go back to stock recovery. I extracted recovery.img from SAMFW.COM_SM-X205_XEO_X205XXS3CWK1_fac.zip generated tar.md5 from it and successfully flashed with ODIN. At this moment I was stuck at boot loop. This time I decided to flash full firmware BL, AP, CP and CSC (HOME_CSC). Still no luck, ODIN failed.

I have then reset again to ODIN mode and try to omit BL and flash only AP, CP and CSC, but also failed.

On the screen I have found following message:

After that I wanted to reset to ODIN download mode once again to try something else. After I exit download mode screen goes black and tablet looks hard bricked.

What goes wrong? How can I recover from this state?

I have started playing with my X205 with batery level about 65% and whole story took few hours. Is it possible that battery gets discharged? Most of the time it was connected to USB being in ODIN download mode.

Thanks for any help.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
I'm sorry but the ONLY way I ever bricked a Samsung tablet was by flashing AP without flashing BL. After doing that the device would ONLY boot to system without being able to boot download or recovery there was no way to fix it. It would appear yours won't even boot to system.

BTW, I hope you know that enabling OEM is NOT unlocking the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Bonbonkocher:
What message do you have on your screen?

-Download mode

-Error message

?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Bonbonkocher:
your odin version is Odin engine v(ID:3.1401)

this ist not Odin v3.14.4

pls download odin3-v3-14-4

OK, I checked again and found the same thing

Are you sure it's from the SAMFW.COM_SM-X205_XEO_X205XXS3CWK1_fac.zip and not from the AP_X205XXS3CWK1_X205XXS3CWK1_...tar.md5
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Bonbonkocher:
I had also reached the situation where I had to wait 3 days, then wanted to show someone what was broken and then it started again

my advice

1. Wait 3-7 days not loading

2. 1 day loading

3. Press the power button if nothing happens

4. Press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons for 10 - 15 seconds until your phone turns off. (I force a restart)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
You will have to wait for around 7 days (or less) for the battery of tab to dry out and please don't plug the tab in your computer or charging while in the process of discharging it, since it will increase the time of discharging and do nothing else. Same thing happened to me. This is not really a hard brick. Just wait for the battery to dry out, after around 7 days, plug the tab in your computer while holding the volup+voldown keys and it'll boot into the odin mode and recover your tab from there
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] R0cketFuel:
Thanks for all the replays.

Yes I know.

The last thing I had on the screen before device goes to hard brick was:

View attachment 6053272

Yes, that's what I had on mind. It was recovery.img extracted from from AP_X205XXS3CWK1_X205XXS3CWK1_MQB73359942_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS13.tar.md5 which was extracted from SAMFW.COM_SM-X205_XEO_X205XXS3CWK1_fac.zip

Ok, so I will wait for the battery to discharge as you both advice. What should I do if my tab gets alive again? Flash it with Odin to stock? If so, why SAMFW.COM_SM-X205_XEO_X205XXS3CWK1_fac.zip failed last time? I am 100% sure that after OTA update it was X205XXS3CWK1.

How to avoid this hard brick like situarion in future. What I have done wrong?

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
Flashed AP without BL. BL MUST match AP!!!! If tab won't turn on, how is the battery going to run down?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] R0cketFuel:
Tab had X205XXS3CWK1 (after OTA) and i wanted to flash the same version SAMFW.COM_SM-X205_XEO_X205XXS3CWK1_fac.zip so I thought tab already had BL in matching version, am I wrong with that reasoning?

Maybe the screen is black and buttons are not responding but it is running internally locked in some state and draining battery, I don't know. I just follow all suggestions written here. I don't have any other ideas.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
It should have, but you indicated you had tried to flash something else first and the BL is so small that there is no reason not to flash it too. Obviously something drastic happened. By any chance did the flash get interrupted? Are you sure the tab is completely off and not just showing a blank screen? If blank, there should still be a faint backlight still visible.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] R0cketFuel:
I have described what I have done in details the first post. I have only played with recovery region. Rest of software was stock before I try to flash all.

For some reason I wasn't able to flash BL because of "FAIL! (Auth)" error in Odin, so I omitted BL.

No it surely was not interrupted. Generally flashing was very quick - stopped with error just few seconds after start in both cases (all vs without BL section).

It is totally dark.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] R0cketFuel:
My tab is alive again. Thanks @Bonbonkocher @SamDaaEpic for your advices. After ~7 days it turned on and successfully entered odin download mode. Unfortunately odin still failed to download stock firmware returning FAIL! (Write) error message. I have changed USB cable but still the same. Finally I have discovered that odin failures were caused by runing it in virtual machine. When I run odin directly stock firmware download process end successfully.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
What VM were you using? I've had success in the past running Odin in Win7 with VirtualBox with Linux Mint as the host. But Heimdall has come a long way and pretty much ends the need for using a VM for Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] R0cketFuel:
I use Win7 on VMware. It previously workd fine. I have used this machine for rooting my previous tabs like A7 for example. I don't know what is the reason it does not work any more. Before playing with A8 i have updated Samsung drivers to the latest version. Maybe that was is reason?

I will give a try Linux substitution for Odin next time.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Bonbonkocher:
I'm very happy to help.

i usually flash the miui using bootloader

i really need help and sorry for your time

hi i appreciate your help man but im just new to all this can you explain more please and by corrupt i mean when flashing an miui with mi flash at first it works fine but after a short time the apps start crashing and then after few days the phone starts restarting by itself and then the phone stucks on bootloop im now using a custom os its not as bad as miui but i still have some problems like apps crashing and one time it even stuck on bootloop but returned to normal and to add to my story i bricked my phone once and unbricked it does that have to do with the problem ?? because before bricking it i didnt have my os getting corrupted before
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Kirasu2080:
Did you change rom much? No error while flash by Mi flash tool right? It look like hardware problem. Like dead UFS or battery issues.

- Check if your storage in settings or file manager again, sometimes people use f2fs stuff and phone storage stuck on 12GB also.

- Do you Wipe>Format data after move to custom rom without error? Something Format data not working until you reboot recovery and format again.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] oussamaF16:
i dont think its because of the storage and yeah i thought it might be a hardware problem but i dont know i still think it started happening after unbricking the phone and do you think if i brick it again and unbricking it will fix the problem ?? and again im a noob but i think it has to do with the internal storage partiton correct if im wrong but yeah thank you so much again
[Google Pixel 6] IlyrichBarkovna10:
Hello:

I've had a pixel 6 for about one year and just recently an update must have completely borked the file transfer option. Now when I hook my pixel 6 to my laptop it gives me an audible connect signal but only shows up in device manager as "mtp".

I have done flip flops with drivers and new cables and every single known work around I can find. Nothing works.

Strangely, ADB is able to find the device but will not list packages. My last idea is if I can pull files (preferably by folder) off the pixel to the laptop with ADB.

Thus I am here to ask, is there a way and what would be the (windows 11 pro) commands to push and or pull files to and from my pixel 6? I'm a casual user of ADB; my pixel has been debloated long since but I haven't felt a need to root, and am hoping I won't have to. But...

My goal is to pull off images taken with the pixel 6 (I don't use cloud) and also "pull and push" audio/video files. I'd appreciate any guidance or tutorials for this sort of operation.

Today I started the process to install a custom rom on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 (SPES) and the CMD gave me this error View attachment 6052844
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] NeoPreacher:
It's because there is no recovery partition. You can either do this to just boot to recovery:

fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img

Or to fully flash it, you can do:

fastboot flash boot name-of-recovery.img

Cheers
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
Yep. No recovery partition on this phone. Once you boot the TWRP, be sure to press Install then choose the img (put it on an external microSD on the phone) and then install to ramdisk. (if you plan to root it with Magisk)

[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] tiro_uspsss:
I know, I know, what a dummy I am

I was following the official TWRP guide here:

I stopped following along after "fastboot boot twrp.img"" - so in other words, I got into TWRP once, and in that one instance, I flashed LOS. LOS works fine, but I have no TWRP persistence, & therefore no Magisk persistence.

How do I go about fixing this?

I tried following the guide again, but when I enter "fastboot boot twrp.img", the phone simply freezes on fastboot mode boot screen (doesn't actually successfully enter it).

Any help would be really great, thank you!
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
Fastboot boot twrp.img will only temporarily install TWRP. It won't persist and be overwritten by LOS recovery. So after booting into TWRP temporarily, follow the next instruction:

"Preferred Installation Method: Once booted, navigate to the Advanced > Flash Current TWRP option. This will install the TWRP image you just booted permanently to the device."

This will permanently install TWRP. But if you flash LOS after this, LOS recovery may overwrite TWRP. You may have to flash TWRP again following the above method. Or boot into recovery again immediately after flashing LOS without booting into system. However, my knowledge of LOS is limited, so wait for others to advice you.

Don't ask why, I don't know why, but all versions after 17.41 app freezes if I open comments in yt Videos.

Use cli and older patches if you want to patch 17.41.x. Also why not included most of the patches? Some of the patch need to included other patch to work. If you dont like extra patches turn on by default, you can turn it off.
