You cannot flash stock rom on your device with QFil. The only solution is to flash with Oplus Flash Tool but you need to pay.
[Realme 8 Pro] glopes.dev:
Oh ok! Do you now where to safely download the Oplis Flash Tool?

And how much it cost?

Thanks.
[Realme 8 Pro] vliqnie17:
Edit: I maybe found a way to flash your device with this file: https://www.gadgetsdr.com/realme-8-...J7noArC1m6zZxIKGWkNJZm-nuPXjhJZshJjjkcttHMt1j

This file will bypass security and you will be able to flash your device with QFIL or Qualcomm Flash Loader.

If this is not working you can contact this guy:

He can flash your device for 15$ or you can also go to some Realme Official service center if you have in your country.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] wh00ps:
Hi there,

I am looking for preloader.bin dump with scatter from the latest firmware update - Asia T225XXS6CWL1.

I have a device that is stuck in BROM and the only way to push it out of it is to flash a preloader.bin with scatter (not img!) with Smartphone Flash Tool (worked in the past).

My old preloader.bin doesn't work because of Anti Rollback (STATUS_SEC_VIOLATE_ANTI_ROLLBACK).

Any other thoughts are very welcome!

Other notes:

- Can access with MTKClient, MTK Bypass

- Able to unclock with MTK Bypass

- Have tried all possible key combinations no luck

- Have unplugged the battery let it rest and drain electricity with no luck.

Any other ideas are very welcome

SOLUTION

If stuck in BROM

1. Dump you current preloader via MTK Client Gui (python mtk_gui)

2. Use WWR MTK to load the dumped file

3. IN WWR save a scatter file for your MTK Chipset (6765)

4. Extract preloader with WWR MTK and save

5. In my case run MTK Bypass to unlock

6. After unlock go to Smartphone Flash Tool to flash extracted pre loader

7. Success back in Download mode
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] HARJASKHAIRA:
just try to flash anything with sp flash tool it will throw you an error that there is problem with the firmware file and crash your tablet back in download mode, From there you can just use odin to fix it

Do we know anything about the IR Blaster?

Like what protocol does it use like NEC or RC-5 or what so ever?

Is there some better app to control it?

I do have a Raspberry PI 4 in an Argon ONE V2 case.

There's even an IR receiver already installed in the case to allow the Argon ONE to be easily usable with an IR remote.

I would like to use the OP12 IR Blaster to turn my raspberry pi on and off, so far I couldn't achieve this.

Anybody knows the Case and has inside in how to set the IR Receiver up properly?

//EDIT:

I got it achieved last night I can power on/off the pi with the OP12 :D

...not sure what to make out of this :ROFLMAO:
[OnePlus 12] Swap_File:
I'd love to find other IR blaster programs that could take generic IR codes.
[OnePlus 12] DroidShift79:

At the moment I just need only one button and that's power to power on my pi.

What I'm looking for is a one IR button desktop widget

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ko3st:
Sorry I do not understand what you mean by "After updating to the newest version".

IMO this phone is almost dead...

At the moment the only thing that the "phone" does, is when you connect the usb cable to the PC, you can heer the sound Plong Pling (low high), which I think indicates that the PC detects that there is a valid USB device connected.

However, when executed in an admin cmd Window, "fastboot devices" nor "adb devices", shows there is a valid connection. In fact it shows nothing...

It looks like the phone is off where in fact it is not completely down (according to the Plong Pling).

Attention:

I now remember, that when all was working fine, and I had the bootloader unlocked, all drivers were OK and so on..., that on the phone I always needed to manually click on the radiobutton at the top, before I could "see" the Pixel 8 Pro device in the Explorer Window on the PC.

Question 2:

Is this what is now the same thing what is preventing the phone from showing up? Or is this not relevant at this point?

My problem seems very real: I can not boot the phone at all (let alone in boot the phone into fastboot)

My phone is un responsive (soft)bricked :-(
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
You can flash the unbranded ones on a branded phone.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
You cannot boot into recovery?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Radulfr:
I did not know that. I always thought it had to be the same one as the device or you risk bricking it. But the last time I went looking around on that topic was when I had a pixel 2 xl
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
lol..

No, you're good, The branded versions just have added specific API's for their towers, if I remember correctly
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ko3st:
That is correct.

I think that I have HARD bricked my (expensive 512GB) Pixel 8 Pro phone :-(

It does absolutely nothing except... When I connect the USB-C port to my PC I do get a response Plong Pling (Low High). That is it....

No screen,.

When I am holding down (and keep pressing for 7 or 8 seconds):

- Volume-Down and Power the USB detection sound goes Pling Plog (high-low).

- Volume-Up and Power the USB detection sound goes Pling Plog (high-low).

- If I press and keep pressing all three buttons (quite desperate, I know) the USB detection sound also goes Pling Plog (high-low).
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Radulfr:
have you tried powering it completely off while unplugged then start holding power and volume down without powering on and without plugging in? that should get you into the bootloader and from there pixel flasher can get you into recovery to recover your device
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ko3st:
Yes I have "tried" powering my pixel 8 Pro off completely, sort of, while unplugged (see long explanation below).

Please note

- The phone feels warm to the touch (possibly the phone is bootlooping all the time, who knows)...

- I can not simply unplug it from the USB cable. Without the audible feedback, there is no telling when it would be shutting down.

- Because there is no visible feedback from the screen. (If it looks like a brick, sounds like a brick... :) ).

This means, I am forced to keep the USB cable plugged in, to be able to hear the audible feedback USB sound Plong Pling (or the other way around).

Only after hearing the Pling Plong (high low) I can unplug the USB cable because, by my own definition, the phone is fully powered down. I have no way of being certain it is actually powered down.

However, I can fiddle about with help of my working Pixel 5 phone and hoping it will behave in a similar way for the Pixel 8 Pro (and possibly for any other android phone ?).
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ko3st:
I created this sort of TUTORIAL:

This could be of vital importance, in case the screen of your Pixel 5 is not usable!.

1.The time needed to force the pixel 5 phone to reboot (in most states), is to keep all THREE buttons pressed simultaneously and keep them pressed, for the duration of at least 11 seconds.

2. By pressing the Volume UP (!) and Power button simultaneously for at least 22 seconds, you can make the Pixel 5 phone go into:

The Dead Android and Red Triangle Error Symbol.​

View attachment 6069683

Please note, the phone does NOT stay in this state for ever! Based on my own research, doing nothing on the phone for the duration of 140 seconds, will automatically reboot the Pixel 5 phone again.(In my case, that would result in the boot loop again).

( See similar situation like in

)

2. ONLY press the Power button, and keep it pressed. While the Power button is still pressed, simultaneously press for just one (!) time only, the Volume UP button. Now (finally) you can release also the power button. You are now in the Android recovery. See picture of the Pixel 5.

3. I noticed that you can easily cycle and select the Power off item in the list (See step 4 below).

View attachment 6069685Reboot system now <-- is selected (See picture)

Reboot to bootloader

Enter fastboot

Apply update from ADB

Apply update from SD card

Wipe data/factory reset

Mount /system

View recovery logs

Run graphics test

Run locale test

Power off

4. Press ONE time on Power UP, to cycle to the last item in the list.

(Similarly, if you would press the Power DOWN button for exactly FIVE times, on the pixel 5, you would select the fifth item below the top item, which is Wipe data/factory reset ).

5. Press ONE time on the Power button, to accept and execute the selected item.

The pixel 5 phone is finally down.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ko3st:
Now I will be using my own tutorial that was made using the Pixel 5 phone.

Using steps 1 - 5, on my Pixel 8 Pro phone...

If both phones work in a similar fashion, the pixel 8 Pro should be powered down (by my own definition).

a. The phone is unplugged from the USB cable.

b. Now I start holding power and volume down simultaneously (without powering on and without the USB plugged in).

c. Unfortunately that does not bring my Pixel 8 Pro in the bootloader, probably because the Pixel 5 and the Pixel 8 Pro apparently do not behave in the same way?

Feel free to comment on my conclusion or better help me out, and please tell me what I could try next.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
First, 8 seconds is not long enough.

Hard brick works in your favor. Contact Google, tell them something went wrong during an update.

Get new phone
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ko3st:
Thanks I will use that reason.

I did not use 8 seconds (I think).

Pressing all three buttons for at least 11 seconds will reboot Pixel 5.

Pressing two buttons Power and Volume UP simultaneous for at least 22 seconds, will make the Pixel 5 phone go into The Dead Android and Red Triangle Error Symbol.

From there it is easy to get to Android recovery.

You press down ONLY the Power button and keep it pressed down. While the Power button is still pressed down, simultaneously press for just one (!) time only, the Volume UP button.

What did you think from that Pixel 5 "TUTORIAL thingy" ?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
I tried to hold all three buttons with power on, like yours is, and it made my phone go into talk-back mode
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ko3st:
- I wrote this based on my Pixel 5 that I still have. I don't know if this applies to Pixel 8 (Pro) also.

- Have you really tried it for over 22 seconds?

At some point (at about 18 seconds, or so), looking at the screen, you can see the Google logo again, which tells you the phone is rebooting. It is tempting to let go, but it is vital that you do NOT release any of the buttons you are pressing. It is imperative to break through the boot-stage. I think that is why you actually end up in Dead Android with the red exclamation point. So, please do not get distracted, and just keep the buttons pressed for the duration at least 22 seconds.

If you perform this action on a Pixel 5 for the duration of at least 22 seconds, you should see the Dead Android with the red exclamation point.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
I thought I had my Pixel Watch 2 bricked. A Google Tech had me hold the 2 buttons on the watch down for over a minute and the damn thing came back to life! That caused a complete reset
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ko3st:
Great!

So it looks like this backs up my earlier assumption, that this might be an inherit default android setting, which possibly ALL android device users can try (if everything else fails).

Spread the word (and always give credit to whom it is due :) ).
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
I would still contact Google support and let them know it bricked during an update. People on here have had similar occurrences and Google replaced heir phones. I assume it's not one you got form a carrier.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ko3st:
You are correct. I bought mine via Amazon.fr (although I am Dutch).

Do you have (a general) URL for the right place to tell Google about this?

It was very easy to return the phone. I only had to indicate the reason for returning it via an online dropdown list. I chose the last item (it broke down). In the comment I mentioned (in French) that something went wrong during an automatic update and that the phone did not respond after that.

That was it! No questions asked or anything.

Today I will send out the P8P via DHL. Once they receive the phone in the amazon warehouse, my money will be reimbursed on my creditcard within 14 workdays.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ko3st:
ATTENTION !

Whenever I pugged in the USB cable on the phone, a dropdown list appeared on the phone. I ALWAYS needed to manually click the radiobutton at the top of th screen of the phone, before I could access the Pixel 8 Pro device on the PC (via the Window Explorer).

Maybe someone can comment if this could be (big) red flag (or not)?

And If so, it should be made better known to all of us, so in the future we can avoid unnecessarily bricking any other phone, if this 'silly' thing would be related.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ko3st:
Here are some ways to contact Google: Google Chat.

Use Google Chat directly in Gmail on desktop or in the Gmail app for Android and iOS. To send a direct message, you can:

- Click "Chat" on the left.

- Click "New chat".

- Enter a name or email address.

- Click "Start chat".

- Enter a message in the reply area.

- Click "Send" to Google Support.

Probably every one knowns how to perform a soft reset on a Google Pixel 8 already:

Soft reset:

- Press and hold the power and volume up buttons until the screen goes dark.

- After about 10-20 seconds, let go of the buttons.

- The Google logo will appear, and the phone will start rebooting. (This doesn't delete any data).
