[Xiaomi Mi 11] WhiteTitane:
My Mi 11 (up-to-date, so EU MIUI 14 based on Android 13 I believe) entered a bootloop without real warning today. The screen froze, it restarted (and worked ok). Then one hour later, the screen froze again, it shut down and entered a bootloop.

For once I imagine it's not a hardware issue (I've had that on other phones in the past) because of the fact there was no previous sign and I can enter recovery and fastboot (it doesn't reboot in fastboot).

When I was young and using a Galaxy S3, I was comfortable with backing up, flashing, custom roms etc but these days are long gone. On the Mi 11, iirc I didn't even unlock the bootloader (because then the banking app stops working or something like that). USB debugging is active, though. I installed the SDK and both ADB and fastboot see my device connected, so I guess that's pretty positive.

So my questions :

Are these symptoms (and the solution) known?

Can I save my phone without flashing a new rom?

If not, can I do a backup first (mostly of the pictures I had and that have not been synced in full quality)?

I'm kinda looking for a step-by-step rather than yes/no answers :-)

Last detail: I changed the battery. But it was months ago with a good quality battery (from iFixit) and everything went well, I doubt there is any connection whatsoever.

Thank you for your attention
[Xiaomi Mi 11] NOSS8:
Since the bootloader is locked, there's just this to try:

If it no longer starts on the OS, it is impossible to save your data.

Try in recovery mode, safe mode (if available) otherwise wipe data, this will erase your data and could possibly restart the phone, obviously nothing is 100% certain.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] WhiteTitane:
****, I hoped fastboot could download data or something.

I installed Mi Assistant (the one that is entirely in Chinese) and it recognizes my Mi 11. Could I flash a new ROM with it?

Also, just to be 100% clear: ADB and fastboot cannot flash an original ROM if the bootloader is locked?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] NOSS8:
Yep, you can try with Miassistant but only with the ROM currently installed on the phone or an update.

Same, not 100% guaranteed.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] WhiteTitane:
Is there an ADB command I can run to identify the ROM with absolute certainty?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] NOSS8:
Nope, but you probably need to know the version of your phone.

See here:

Xiaomi Firmware Updater

The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.

xiaomifirmwareupdater.com

But it seems to me that Mi assistant can tell you, use an English version.

Old version to see if it works and you can use it for the translation:

49.36 MB folder on MEGA

2 files

mega.nz
[Xiaomi Mi 11] WhiteTitane:
I tried wiping all data, it didn't work.

Yes!

View attachment 6089145

It's an SFR carrier ROM (which I'd be happy to get rid of, BTW).

So I'm downloading the V14.0.4.0.TKBEUSF, I'll try flashing with your translated Mi Assistant (unless it's a bad idea and I should use the Chinese one?)
[Xiaomi Mi 11] NOSS8:
It seems to me that this version is an operator version:SF
[Xiaomi Mi 11] WhiteTitane:
It is: (SFR).

So the flash worked with your translated tool and the flash seemed to have worked.

But the problem isn't solved. Could this be a hardware issue after all? From a component that wakes up only when booting into the OS?

Sometimes the boot screen is perfectly clean, sometimes there are artefacts:

View attachment 6089147

This was the case before the flash.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] NOSS8:
I hadn't seen the end of the previous post and to respond to this post, probably an HW problem.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] WhiteTitane:
Any idea as to what component would be dead?

If it's software, I've seen some roms are available as recovery or fastboot: would one or the other change anything?

And no way to unlock the bootloader without having access to the OS?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] NOSS8:
Any idea as to what component would be dead?

Probably motherboard

If it's software, I've seen some roms are available as recovery or fastboot: would one or the other change anything?

Fastboot, only with the bootloader unlocked.

You flashed the latest version available.

And no way to unlock the bootloader without having access to the OS?

Nope.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] WhiteTitane:
If anyone knows of a specific component that goes bad (like a transistor or whatever), I might be able to replace it.

****

Thanks for the help, though
[Xiaomi Mi 11] WhiteTitane:
What a weird issue...

Yesterday, I tried flashing in fastboot mode. I knew it shouldn't work but I wanted to be able to tell myself I tried everything.

Of course it failed.

Then, I tried flashing the same original rom with Mi Assistant for the third time. It worked (like the previous times) but this time the phone booted into the OS! I was able to configure it, restore the data from my Google account, everything:

View attachment 6089934

I reactivated USB debugging and linked my Mi account to the OEM unlock thingy to make it future-proof. Everything worked without a glitch for two hours. I then decided to restart it to exit safe mode. It "looped" a bit but ended up booting into the OS, I picked it up, unlocked the boot screen and poof it shut down and has been in a bootloop ever since :-(

The only silver lining is that the timer before I can unlock the bootloader keeps working: I currently have 150 hours to wait.

EDIT: Of course, I tried rebooting into safe mode, to no avail.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] WhiteTitane:
I took it apart today to see if I saw anything obvious hardware-wise.

I didn't

But after having reassembled it, I noticed it had booted into the OS (in safe mode again). I unlocked it, it went to the home screen...and died.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] omfg_Tobster:
Firstly, hello everyone.

I recently bought the Orange SPV M3100 on eBay, and can not for the life of me get it to connect to Vodafone with my contract SIM.

So far I have:

-Sim unlocked and superCID'd the phone.

-Installed WM6 (via CUSTEL).

-Tried 3 different Radio versions.

-Attempted to install Vodafones official update (which failed for reasons unknown).

-Played around with just about all network settings.

Basically, the device acts as if it's trying to connect to the network, but doesn't (PC speakers pick up inteference etc).

With automatic network selection it just doesn't do anything.

With manual network selection it gives all four big UK providers (allowing for signal - I live in the North York Moors) including Vodafone, but won't connect to any of them.

If I click 'set networks' I get a HUGE list of providers. Vodafone UK (if it appears at all, for some reason O2 and TMobile seem to appear on the list more often) is nearly always unchecked at the bottom. Checking it doesn't fix the problem. When I go back there later it has sometimes lost that setting and Vodafone is unchecked at the bottom again.

I should probably mention that any setting I change here results in a 2 minute "Sending new settings to the network", and on a couple of occasions has caused it to crash.

If I go onto band settings, originally they were both set to auto. Infact, I've just gone onto it as I type, and they have gone back to auto. Before it had got stuck on GSM/UMTS band type 'GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)' (gave an error message unable to change band etc if I tried to change it to anything else). I cannot change the network type or GSM band otherwise without the same error message appearing.

So anyway, as you can see I've gone through a lot and read a lot unlike your typical n00b, and my prospects with this new phone are bleak.

Can anyone help me or suggest anything else that could get this phone onto Vodafone?

I have a worrying thought that this phone could have originally been half-inched (the eBay seller seemed a tad on the dodgy side), been reported, and is now serial-blocked from UK networks, if that's possible?

[edit] I don't know if they are or can be serial blocked, but in which case, assuming you trust and sympathise with my story, is it possible to hack & change the serial number?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Sounds possible that its been blocked. Yes there is a way but you probably won't find any help on this site to do it as it is illegal. Thats not to say you can't search the site, you may find something that may help... Search is your friend...;)

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] omfg_Tobster:
Yeah reading into the problem reveals a possible 'IMEI' block.

Time to contact the ebay seller I think.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] omfg_Tobster:
Have spotted an obvious hole in my theory:

The thing came in it's original box (s/n sticker confirmed) with all manuals and accessories.

So back to original problems; is there anything else I have missed?

[edit]

Phone is unblocked according to http://www.amta.org.au/default.asp?Page=405.

So unless they're wrong, why can't I connect to Vodafone and what else can I try?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
did you try *#06# on the phone to be sure the S/N on the stickers and phone is the same as the actual phone S/N?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] omfg_Tobster:
Yes, they are.

Would Vodafone be of any help on this issue?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Depends if they supply that model of phone.

Do you have a network configurator app cooked into the rom you are using or are you using a stock rom?

Might be an idea to look for a network configurator cab if you're using the stock rom and see if that helps. Also if you are using a stock rom, and its not setup for vodaphone, it MAY (don't quote me on this) be affecting the network settings and making it incompatable with the carrier you want.

Just a thought...

I'd also try to run the sim unlock app again, just remember it has to be the SPL that was supplied with the sim/cid unlock tool. Make sure you install Hard SPL V7 back after checking this...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] skeeve666:
vodaphone will help you if you ring them up using a the sim card in a working phone and ask them to check if its imei is blocked, they do it totaly free of charge.. had to do this with a viewty i bought from a work buddy shorty before he forgot to tell me he did not pay the contract bill and t-mobile blocked it. well annoyed, but they told me it was reported Lost or stolen.

found a few places on the net that offer a check for £10 sod em lol

luckly got me cash back selling it for parts hehe
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] omfg_Tobster:
What a bloody carry on!

Vodafone told me it was blacklisted; reported stolen.

The eBay member is highly upset at being called a theif and very convincingly tells me otherwise (I'm 90% sure I can believe his story, and feel bad for my accusation).

Orange (of whom I'm not even a customer) then tell me "I'm sorry it's blacklisted for an unknown reason ... <click-click> ... there you go sir I've removed it from the blacklist!"

Well, if it starts working again in the next 48 hours I couldn't give a monkeys what's gone on. I just want the bugger to work!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] stevieboy:
the only reason that a phone would be blocked is if it was reported.......have you tried another sim from o2 or orange etc.

the question has been asked before about imei changing and as you know its illegal,but can be done so if all else fails search elsewhere,not here, i would suggest that unblocking a phone is never likely to be an achievable goal.the networks are not known for their magninimity:(

Hello everyone,

I would appreciate your support in fixing the problem I'm encountering with an infinite loop. I have a Smart TV running Android with the following reference: Realtek/RealtekATV/RealtekATV 9/PTT1.190222.002/huangds07172220 (65’’). The brand of the TV is DePoint, however, the website is not functioning, and I am unsure how to obtain a software update to resolve the infinite loop issue. I have attempted to reset it to factory configuration, but that did not resolve the problem (Wipe data/factory reset/Wipe cache partition). Could you please assist me? Thank you in advance.

Hello, so i have a problem, i have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro and it is in bootloop and i can't go further than MIUI Recovery menu/fastboot. I tried wiping data but after it goes to around 4-5% it's getting stuck and just reboots phone without changes. Fastboot is not working cause it's locked. ADB not working too. I tried to flash it with MiPhoneAssistant in recovery mode from 14.0.2 to 14.0.8 (Global ROM) but still no effect. Is there any hope to "revive" this phone?

plz help me(

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] aLcaTr4z:
Not sure aber Xi Phones, but on Huawei there is even one System layer deeper to access, and *maybe* u can do a low level format from there.

Trying Power + Vol up and down, hold for 15Sec, unleash vol down and power button, keep pressing vol up and check if theres a low level menu.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] say_max:
i don't know if there is such a thing as low level menu, the only menu that i can open by this metod is MIUI Recovery menu but i tried every option and no luck, the only thing that i can think of as low lewel menu is EDL mode but i don't have xiaomi authorised account to use it so it's no use for me.

Soooo i tried to use BN57 battery from my friends dead Poco X3 but no luck, looks like his battery is dead and so i tried using BN53 battery from my redmi note 10 pro in his dead poco x3 and it started! so looks like his phone not so dead as we through). But it had the same issue, it booted in system but only for a few seconds just like my redmi note 10 pro, so i think it's really a battery issue. I'm gonna look for another battery to put in this phone in my town or internet marketplaces, so i don't think i'm gonna give an update soon, maybe after 3-5 days when the battery arrives.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] say_max:
Hey guys, i have an update! So, yeah my Xiaomi is working! BUT! The issue was not in battery, the issue is the main camera. i don't know what caused it and camera looks fine, so i think for now i'm gonna use it without camera (or try to, somehow, repair it) Also, the original battery also working, i will make a refund for the battery that i bought cuz 12$ is still a money and i can buy a new main camera module for this price (it's Hoco BN53 by the way). So yeah, issue is "solved", thanks for trying to help me guys and have a great day!)

Hi, we're looking to buy a Moment M-type macro lens for my wife's Pixel 6a. It will probably require the universal lens mount. I am worried that it will not work well, because her case has a bit of a protrusion/lip around the camera bar on the back. That makes sense to protect the camera when laying the phone on a hard/rough surface, but it might be an issue for our particular use case.

Can someone recommend a case that has a (near) flush back around the camera?

Hi there... I tried to change my keyboard input to the phonekeyboard, (don't exactly know the english name of this, since I'm running Danish OS), but it wouldn't apply. I'd press "OK", but nothing changed... It was still complete QWERTY, so I went back into settings, and saw it had been reset. So I tried again, OK, and back in, and it was back to Complete QWERTY... Then I downloaded TenGO Thumb, just thought it might help, but it didn't... The freaking settings won't apply! Help?

And the other issue I have is, that I can't run .exe files on my HD... It just comes up with a fail message. How to fix this? I'm desperately searching for .cab files since I can't use .exe files...
[Touch HD General] finanziere:
*.exe usually works only on the PC, so you have to use ActiveSync and then, after a syncronisation, launch app's setup on PC.
[Touch HD General] Alpha Jez:
Oh okay. Thanks. :)

Any info on the keyboard settings not applying? :)
[Touch HD General] Mr.Florea:
You can't change the keyboard settings from start->settings->input, its some sort of bug I think.

Instead you can change it doing this:

-go to any menu that allows keyboard typing and you will notice that near the virtual keyboard popup button there is a small arrow facing up, if you tap that arrow a menu will popup and you can change the keyboard settings there compact/full/etc , and it works!
