[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] ZG_DEV:
It is bricked

There is no sign, once you press vol.down and release once connected to pc, you will hear a usb connect sound in your pc, also please get things ready on your pc( open the tools and make things ready before booting your phone into META mode) because META mode disconnects after some few seconds when there is no action is taken.

Make sure before doing anything that you have installed all required drivers ( mtk driver auto installer ( tool), Vcom driver)

How can i flash stock rom in meta mode if all my programs doing it in brom mode, which always gives me DA or DRAM error?
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] ZG_DEV:
Sp flash tool works on both meta mode and brom mode, bypassing Auth is done by mct mtk bypass rev3/rev4 by both brom mode and meta mode
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] mvikrant97:
You need to flash it in BROM only.
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Kto?:
SPFT not working, everytime stucks at "Download DA 100%".

Hi there, I have the same issue for Redmi 10 2022. I also neeed this phone to be online as I also have exams. Did you manage to fix it?
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
Yepp a long time ago u want me to help u? I helped another guy too and he managed to fix it

Explain the issue first
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
I tried flashing the fastboot miui 12.5 on my phone and when it finished my phone got stuck in BROM mode. No matter what I do I cant get it out. I tried Sp flash tools but it gets stuck at downloading DA 100%
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
Was the flash using miui tool successful?
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] ZG_DEV:
Did you try pressing all the buttons for about 10-12 seconds, pressing only volume down button, release the button once connected to pc then flash ?

Also you need to be quick as the phone will disconnect quickly after few seconds from being connected to pc. So you need to make spft ready before even connecting the phone using the way I told you.
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
No zg it doesn't worked like that or at least for me. I had flashed using sp flash tool and did all steps 100% correctly yet still it gave stuck at 100% da error and as for brom mode it doesn't disconnect within seconds it stays there for a while until you do a process and it automatically disconnects and sits there
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
the phone has mediatek chipset so the flash tool never work
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
Let me know if it was then things could be much simpler I believe
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
yep i tried that

the phone has mtk chipset and miui flash tool only supports snapdragon
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
Well first of all in order to escape brom mode you need to do the following either remove the battery from your phone and reconnect or wait for the phones battery to drain then it will restart automatically. After this u will be out from being stuck in brom mode and ur phone can be detected by pc again

And for flashing I recommend that you use mtk client tool cuz that's the ones which worked for me and saved my phone since I had flashed wrong boot img which bricked my phone but mtk client was a savior
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
ok i will wait for the batter to drain since the battery is not easy to remove. the wierd thing is that the phone is detected by the pc but its detected as mtk port com4
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
There are many tutorials on the internet using which you can flash stock rom using mtk client
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
ok

i will try that
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
If it is detected then what's the issue u can flash ur phone easily?

Do u still have the os on ur phone (the stock ones) if it's not corrupted or something like that

If u still have the os untouched on ur phone just wait for ur battery to drain and u can boot back in I believe also my phone was also really difficult to remove battery from but I put a rock on my heart and successfully removed battery easily it's pretty easy
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
when i tried to flash with mtk client i got an error and i couldnt figure it out so i gave up

the os i have on the phone is the one that i told u i flashed using fastboot, my phones battery has nod died yet and it has been about 3 weeks of waiting
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
Which error
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
the error was something about the buffer size in the mtk client
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
There is an error I received using mtk client tool too and I fixed it by deleting one da file from it's folder and my phone died within abt 4-6 days
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
something about buffer size

ohh ok im gonna try that and then report back
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
Well Yepp I remembered the step to fix the buffer issue here:

If you get '[LIB]: ←[31mError on sending emi: unpack requires a buffer of 12 bytes←[0m' then delete mtkclient/Loader/MTK_AllInOne_DA_5.1824.bin
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
DAXFlash - DRAM setup failed: unpack requires a buffer of 12 bytes

im getting this error
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] ZG_DEV:
Then, your phone is in Brom mode 🤷‍♂️

I guess @mvikrant97 will help, come and check this issue.
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] mvikrant97:
Can you disconnect the battery?
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
I just need to get some adhesive then I can
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
Yep your best attempt is to remove the battery first and reconnect, then try flashing again imo
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
ye im gonna try that, thanks alot for your time
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
Np anytime.
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Gudaji:
I hade the same issue like yours. And the fix was extremely simple. What you only have to do is flash the stock rom with TFT tool. Simple that’s all. If it works report back here.

Good luck.
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
Where can i get the tft tool from?
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
U can search it up and can download it easily
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
yea i managed to get it but it doesn't detect my phone :(
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
Well mvikrant will help u then. But did u try removing the battery
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
not yet
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
Well until then I think everything you try will be useless

What if it's a small issue and a restart would fix it. Then you'd regret you removed the battery plug and reconnected it again earlier to save time. Also you don't have to remove battery completely you just need to disconnect it from the plug
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
i know you can disconnect the battery from the plug and im just gonna disconnect it because everything i tried has failed
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
Yep
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Gudaji:
Brother i think you have a driver issue. Have you tried installing drivers properly? I mean have you watched a YouTube video on how they properly install MTK Drivers just to make sure, and is your charging port good, cause if TFT tool is not recognizing then something is wrong. Does your device get recognized in device manger? And if it does then use a bypass auth first then try flashing again with TFT Tool. Trust me that’s the only tool you need that’s gonna work right now. My device was just like yours I tired everything.
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
If your pc says device receptors failed then u 100% need to disconnect battery without a second thought
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
my driver is installed correctly and my charging port is good. the device also rets recognized in device manager.
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Gudaji:
Try removing battery and as you are about to disable auth connect the battery
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
hi there, me again, just an update i managed to get into my phone but i have been getting all the same errors unfortunately 😭 . i even tried another pc and nothing has worked unfortunately. damn this phone.
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Gudaji:
Have you tried TFT unlock tool and have you tried removing your battery?

And have you installed all drivers properly?
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
as mentioned previously my drivers are installed properly and i even reinstalled them but i didnt try tft tool yet. i will try it as soon as i can.
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
Did u reinsert the battery?
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
yep, im gonna try it again and then I shall update you
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Gudaji:
Any update friend?
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
Yep, i finally fixed it by flashing the chinese miui on although im getting an nvdata corrupt and its bootlooping into recovery, pls help
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
I just fixed itt!!! i flashed the nvdata files manually with tft. thank all of you guys for the help and support, i really appreciate it
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] help_me_pls:
please help me message me privately
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
Msg me
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] help_me_pls:
i've took it to a repair shop and it got fixed
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
What was the issue and it's veyy likely the shop probably scammed you out of money
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] help_me_pls:
nah the repair was pretty cheap like 5 bucks, what they did deserves that money.
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] Xyberdude:
Well I mean we can't say anything until we find out what the issue was
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] ichanmrg:
Can you please guide me on how you did it? I am encountering the same issue...
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
Do you need to flash nvdata?
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] ichanmrg:
Hi, I am not sure what to do. It is just stuck at BROM mode and I constantly got `DAXFlash - DRAM setup failed: unpack requires a buffer of 12 bytes` error when using mtkclient. I tried using SPFT but I am also encountering errors when using Linux, and for Windows, it does not detect the phone.
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
Try flashing the latest chinese rom for your phone using SPFT, when I used the chinese rom it worked.
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
When connecting to ur pc hold all buttons(volume and power buttons)
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] ichanmrg:
I only connect to my Linux machine holding the volume down button. Does holding all buttons make a difference?
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
Im not sure but I held down all buttons as an extra precaution. When I connected to SPFT it recognizes the device.
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] ichanmrg:
I will try this. I will keep you posted.
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] LAKUKU:
If it doesn't work try it without the battery
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] angel.08:

Yes there is a solution

Use tft unlock tool. Although the latest one doesn't work I have a patch DM so I can send.

If it's the same like mine.

You just need a different PC or change your USB port to another spot.

Works for me

Your best solution is tft unlock tool and it's free

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] thelakeman:
The fastboot implementation in Mi A2 is fairly buggy. Now normally this isn't a big issue even while installing custom roms but say you're an idiot like me and somehow managed to wipe everything on your device including the recovery and are only left with fastboot, so naturally you try to get hold of the stock fastboot image and flash it into the device. But in doing so you end up with an error around the lines of this-

And the entire process gets stuck in this "sending (file)" dialogue. Now this caused me a lot of headache, I tried many different guides, images, and usb cables (well everything except the mi flash tool because I'm a linux user) but everything ended up stuck at this stage.

However when I searched this error on the internet I came across this reddit thread, although meant for a different device I tried the solution mentioned by u/achasme under it, and it worked. If you come across this problem try connecting the device to a usb cable connected to a usb hub preferably usb 2.0* and then running the fastboot command to flash the image.

I know this sounds like witchcraft but it worked for me, I can't guarantee whether it'll work for anyone else but worth trying.

*I used a USB 3.0 hub connected to a USB 2.0 port on my laptop.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] irikimozz:
Yes I've had my fair share of bugs for fastboot. Thanks for sharing

I miss the cube from my Polaris/Touch Cruise; it was so easy to navigate. Is there a cube that will work on the Xperia? I've tried the Manilla type touch interface, but prefer the cube.

[XPERIA X1 General] Leddy:
Probably unlikely since there was never a WVGA or even a VGA cube.
[XPERIA X1 General] Aleemz:
True, I hadn't considered that.
[Moto E6 Plus Questions & Answers] BrunoGenovese:
It seems that most of the privacy oriented Android OS versions are oriented towards Google Pixel support.

Is there any privacy oriented Android OS that supports the Moto E6 Plus?

SELF ANSWER: No.

It seems that very few phones besides Google Pixels are supported by privacy oriented Android OS'. I think it was LineageOS the only one that supports a few Motorola phones but not the E6 Plus.
[Moto E6 Plus Questions & Answers] ItsIgnacioPortal:
Do note that you can still use the LineageOS GSI and it works fine in the moto e6+ 64/4 version. See: Known working setups
[Moto E6 Plus Questions & Answers] BrunoGenovese:
Ty. I will give it a shot at least to test it.

From further research I found out that these alternate privacy-oriented Androids, and in particular LineageOS do indeed extend the life of old phones by providing security updates of Android implementation. But no firmware security updates get released by the manufacturer... so if there are vulnerabilities in the hardware firmware there are security risks. So I ended up buying a new phone.

Still, once I receive my new phone I'll test LineageOS on my E6plus to decide on a future install that would be on new hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] pmtabs:
As of writing this afternoon, the tablet in question no longer even turns on. Uh oh.

My mum's tablet - untouched/unrooted/stock - is stuck in what appears to be the "Download Mode" screen following an apparently botched OS update. It's a pale blue screen with white and grey text. It says it's downloading and not to turn off the device, but it sits like that for hours and nothing happens.

There is also text overlaid on the screen, in a very "Linux command line"-looking font. It says:

"hash of data does not match digest in descriptor" and "Partition Recovery", along with several strings about firmware versions etc. This is just from memory because the device won't turn on now for me to gather more info from the screen.

I've read up on this issue and learned about using Frija to download the latest firmware, and Odin to flash it. But the problem is, Odin never detects the tablet. I've plugged it into the front USB on my PC, the back USB, into a laptop, and into another desktop PC (front and back). I've used other cables as well. I've installed and reinstalled the USB drivers from Samsung, to no avail. I've tried every combination of Volume Up/Down and Power to try to get something different to appear on-screen, but regardless of what combo I use, it always loads into the same blue screen. Well, it did, before this afternoon...

Is there any other way to communicate with the tablet so I can flash the firmware? The fact that the device won't even turn on today makes me wonder if the hardware itself is dead/dying. Currently, when I try to power it on, I can see that the screen is receiving power because it "glows" a little, while still remaining black. A second later, it turns off completely again. Not looking good.

Thank you for your time.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Dexrn:
If Odin doesn't find it, does ADB or Fastboot?

There is a chance that sboot.bin is messed up (happened to me) which may be why the device isn't turning on... I don't remember how I fixed it myself.

I own a s21 and

2 a5 2015 SM-A500FU (original) both running the wonderfull 2.8.7 twrp recovery and one default os the other mokee custom rom. My question is there any unofficial treble support (maybe through my mokee a10 costum rom) as i would like to flash some gsis mainly for testing and partially for using. Is it possible to somehow get treble suppoet if yes please say how
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ZG_DEV:
If your phone is android 8.x and above, then GSIs can be installed on this device, check "Treble info" app to choose your correct GSI Copy :)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] danlp6yt:
Sooo.... I have android 9 costum rom installed but Treble info shows that my device isn't compatible. I used mokee rom
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ZG_DEV:
Maybe because of custom rom :)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] danlp6yt:
so then installing Lineage OS Andr 10 would help? also I don't have arm64 support xD
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ZG_DEV:
I guess so, try and then tell me :)

[Google Pixel 5a] javalsai:
Hi XDA Forums!

I was trying to install microG LOS on my Google Pixel 5a (barbet) until adb didn't work in custom LOS recovery and I wasn't able to sideload LOS. I think I followed install instructions perfectly: Android 13 firmware, flash boot and dtbo right after unlocking fastboot flash...

After a lot of tries and fails I decided to go back to stock ROM and start from fresh ROM to see if it would work properly, after a lot of searching I found the official stock ROM from google's website, so I downloaded it, unzipped and ran flash-all.sh (tried versions: barbet-tq2a.230305.008.c1 and barbet-tq2a.230505.002, also grapheneOS out of desesperation), but it failed because now my product is apparently unknown (In fasboot I can read `Product revision: unknown MP1.0(Unknown)`):

$ ./flash-all.sh
...ETC....
--------------------------------------------
Bootloader Version...: b9-0.5-9430460

--------------------------------------------
extracting android-info.txt (0 MB) to RAM...
Checking 'product' FAILED

Device product is 'unknown'.
Update requires 'barbet'.

fastboot: error: requirements not met!
$

I just want to know what is responsible of the product value and if I can fix it, or how to get a working OS, my main objective now is just get the phone to work (I can access fastboot and use it normally and I can also access a custom recovery, although both microg LOS and normal LOS recoveries adb don't work).

The phone is reconditioned and the first boot on stock os worked fine, so I doubt I can refund it or something

(Sorry for any bad english, it isn't my native language or for any wrong words, injured my wrist today and can barely type)

Also, thanks in advance!

fastboot getvar product

If you're quite sure that you're actually flashing the right thing, just patch the script.
[Google Pixel 5a] javalsai:
Thanks for the help!

`fastboot getvar product` just returns unknown

I also cannot patch the script as the product check is performed by fastboot itself and I can seem to find an option to bypass this (I'm using the command `fastboot -w update image-barbet-tq2a.230505.002.zip`)
