Poco M3 (Citrius) EDL Test Point.

What is its use?

Used for forcing phone in EDL mode to flash using authorised account.

You will need to short the two points together using a wire to get the device in EDL mode.

View attachment 6101079

Requirements:

Poco M3 phone

Non-metallic tweezers or another small, non-conductive tool

Isopropyl Alcohol (Optional: for cleaning the contact points)

Instructions:

Power off your Poco M3 phone completely. Ensure it is not connected to any power source or charger.

Open the phone: You'll need to disassemble the back panel of your Poco M3 to access the motherboard. Consult a teardown guide specific to your Poco M3 model for safe disassembly instructions.

Locate the EDL test points: These should be two small metallic contact points on the motherboard, usually labelled "EDL" or "Test Point" as shown in the image. Double-check the location based on your specific Poco M3 model's teardown guide.

Clean the contact points (Optional): You can use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to clean the EDL test points and the tips of your tweezers to ensure a good connection. Let the cleaning solution dry completely before proceeding.

Short the contact points: Very carefully use the non-metallic tweezers to touch both EDL test points simultaneously for a few seconds. It's crucial to only touch these specific points and avoid accidentally contacting other components on the motherboard.

If your phone enters EDL mode, you will see it as Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 under device manager.

Important Notes:

Precision is key: Ensure you're only touching the intended EDL test points and avoid contacting other components on the motherboard.

Don't apply pressure: A gentle touch is sufficient to short the points.

Don't hold for too long: Briefly shorting the points for a few seconds should be enough. Holding them together for extended periods might increase the risk of damage.

No success? If the phone doesn't enter EDL mode after one try, power it off again, wait for a few seconds, and then carefully repeat steps 4 and 5.

Still no luck? It's possible these points are not the true EDL test points for your specific Poco M3 model, or the method might not be applicable to your device. In this case, consult a professional phone repair technician or search for resources specific to your Poco M3 model.

Remember, this procedure carries risks. If you're unsure about any step, it's best to consult a professional.

I owned S6 Lite Tab 5G 128GB since early 2021, it was useful for my study and leisure activities, and now i sold it to buy and upgrade to S9 FE 128GB WIFi (Coz i seldom use data). I got it for 380$ with keyboard and notebook cover freebie worth 6k.

I know this will last and good upgrade! I just have a budget for that so... ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy A23] theduke7:
Theres many reports on samsung forums and reddit that the latest May update samsung pushed have many bugs and in many cases ends up hard bricking the device

I recommend to turn off auto update and wait until this is resolved, there seems to be no fix so far.

A23 not starting after latest update!!!

After an update last week, the A23 phone wont start. Nothing seems to work, it is completely dead. SAMSUNG, what's going on with the phone and your update?????

eu.community.samsung.com

Update thanks to @milesius

the issue confirmed by Samsung and it's affecting the M variant (this has nothing to do with the One UI 6.1 update, that update is safe)

Samsung warns against turning off the device after the update
[Samsung Galaxy A23] CharaDev :D:
yeah this is serious issue
[Samsung Galaxy A23] theduke7:
Personally i didn't even get a may OTA update, i just checked and for my region (egypt) the latest update is February, so either those reports are from people who forced updated the wrong patch, or samsung noticed and didn't release it to other regions.

[Samsung Galaxy A23] ErSoul26:
Is there any update on this? Or more info about it?

The last installed update on my phone was on April 18, tho it is working, I have noted problems for charging it. It will only charge on low-amp devices like a powerbank/laptop. And when connected to the laptop, it won't let me choose the option to transfer files or photos.
[Samsung Galaxy A23] monsiu:
Wtf...i legit just updated.
[Samsung Galaxy A23] theduke7:
Did you have any issues?

It's said to happen after a reboot
[Samsung Galaxy A23] monsiu:
No issues whatsoever. Phone was perfectly fine.

even up until now with android 14. One UI 6.

Everything is cool.
[Samsung Galaxy A23] theduke7:
Just an update

i received the One UI 6.1 update and updated with no issues

several restarts including 1 after another google system update

no issues here

so far the issue seems to be for specific versions /locale

i'm interested to know what was that update, was it a Samsung or google update and if it was 6.1 or 6.0
[Samsung Galaxy A23] ErSoul26:
Just checked for updates for the phone, but it seems there's none on my region... It says the last phone update was installed on april 18, and security patch level: march 1st.

However I re-enabled automatic updates.
[Samsung Galaxy A23] milesius:
This is real for international versions. Had an a23 that was on auto and the update hosed the phone. The phone restarted suddenly in the middle of the day, or tried to restart - the screen was black and unresponsive. The battery drained and the phone would not charge after. Reset would not work and phone was not detected when connected to a computer. Sent the phone to Samsung and they said the board had to be replaced at cost because the phone was out of warranty 1 month. I paid. Phone came back and updated again within a week - but this time gave a pop up with URGENT NOTICE from samsung that the phone should not be rebooted and to contact customer support. I tried the regular number and they gave me a special number that I could call between specific hours. That sucks. I haven't been able to get through to them yet.

[General Questions and Answers] Gamemacik:
In past i used SuperSU apk to grand root access to some apks.

I got refurbished phone which came already rooted, there was none "MASTER" apk like SuperSU or Magisk. Phone remained rooted even after factory reset.

Google Wallet and other bank apks didn't detect root as a problem.

Does it mean if i install some apk like Text Editor or Word and grant permission to internal storage then the apk will get access to root system files as well?

If so then the apk could modify system files any time, what could be very dangerous.

[Touch HD General] cx2k5:
i have a really weird problem. When i recieve an sms my display does not turn on ( even though i have the turn on selected in notifications for 5min). Instead if i don't read the sms, display turns on after like 20-25min.

Any solution to this?
[Touch HD General] RetroFlux:
I had a similiar problem in that my display would not turn on when a new txt came through even though I had it set in the notifications. I switched it off in the notifications and switched it on using HD tweak and it works now. I can't comment switching on after 25 mins as I never left it for that long before reading a txt.
[Google Pixel 7a] koberulz:
If I go to the "Cloud sync" page, I can see I have 148 apps backed up with tag "Pixel 3", which is my old phone. Click on that, it lists 147 apps. So already one has disappeared.

But when I hit "batch actions" and then "Restore from cloud", it lists only 40 apps. Which makes it pretty useless.

Side note: what's the deal with SafetyNet on the 7a? Magisk no longer includes a button to check it, as far as I can see, and Wallet won't let me use it even though I've hidden Magisk and have it on the Denylist.
[Google Pixel 7a] bdr127:
Regarding your side note, SafetyNet is deprecated. It was replaced by Play Integrity. Similar idea, but implemented differently, and more difficult for us to work around.

You can use Play Integrity Fix (or Play Integrity Fork by osm0sis). Both are often referred to as "PIF". You should read the PIF FAQ.
[Google Pixel 7a] koberulz:
Yeah, I finally found the right combo of words to Google (most of my results the first couple of times were just "safetynet is awesome, here's how it protects you!") and got PIFi installed. Wallet is working. Not sure how F those Qs get Aed, TBH, it all seems pretty in-depth...I just want to have rooted stock. How do PIFi and PIFo differ?

The lack of ability to restore most of my apps is somewhat more pressing.
[Google Pixel 7a] bdr127:
Sorry, maybe someone else can reply about Swift Backup.

As for the PIF modules, the biggest difference is that the original PIF includes a working device fingerprint to use to spoof. The fork from osm0sis purposely omits a built-in fingerprint, but allows you to use one that you've gotten somewhere else (and that you've tested to work for Play Integrity spoofing purposes -- not any or every fingerprint will work for spoofing). The fork is also, as osm0sis puts it, "more future-proof" than the original, but incorporating other props in the fingerprint json file.
[Google Pixel 7a] koberulz:
Well I managed to get the backups restored by transferring the folder onto a USB, then onto the new phone, then restoring from there. Still missed a couple of apps, but easy enough to manually install two or three.

But if something happens to the phone and I'm forced to use the cloud versions, I'm basically screwed...
[Google Pixel 7a] anonymous-bot:
Well once you got your apps restored to the 7a, force a new backup (both cloud and local), and then copy the local backup to PC if necessary. I don't have experience with using the cloud backup but local backups have been solid for me.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] CharaPrime:
I can't seem to get the phone connected to computer for backing up and rooting. I have the drivers installed (Since installing Samsung Switch auto-installs the drivers, but I externally downloaded it anyways.), tried different ports and cables, restarted bpth devices, heck, even tried to disable USB Debugging to see if it helped, but to no avail. Tried looking at the device manager and didn't see any Samsung related drivers. What is the exact problem that causes this?

[Rabbit r1] Arkapravoarka:
We should've seen this coming.

Some of the senior devs at XDA managed to port a somewhat working version of the R1's app on a Pixel device. Android enthusiasts have been able to do similar things since the stsrt of the Android boom. HTC's Sense UI ran on a lot of Motorola Droids for example.

The problem arose whenRabbit straight up denied those claims. Here we can see the devs managing to run widely popular Lineage OS on the R1 device which further cements the fact that R1 is just a fancy device running android beneath it, all of whose functions could have been done by an app on your standard smartphone.

View attachment 6101115

who thought this was a poorly photoshopped image

View attachment 6101118

For those of you new here here's a breakdown of Rabbit R1's capabilities:

Voice control: You can interact with the Rabbit R1 by holding a button and speaking commands, similar to a walkie-talkie.

App integration: Unlike most AI assistants, the Rabbit R1 goes beyond just answering questions. It can currently connect with specific services to perform actions on your behalf. Right now, supported services include:

Uber: Requesting rides

Doordash: Ordering food

Spotify: Playing music

Midjourney: Generating images (artistic AI tool)

If we jump into its cons, the list goes on

Limited Functionality: Right now, the R1 feels like a work in progress. App integration is patchy, with some services not working reliably or at all. Basic tasks like translations or object identification might not always be as accurate as hoped for.

Short Battery Life: Reviews mention the battery life being a significant downside. You might find yourself needing to recharge the R1 multiple times a day, especially if you use the camera function frequently.

Unimpressive Features: Some features, like the Vision feature for object identification, are considered underwhelming compared to existing solutions like Google Lens.

Limited Customization: Unlike a smartphone, the R1 offers minimal customization options. You can't personalize the interface or experience as much as you might like.

Redundancy for Smartphone Users: Since many smartphone assistants can handle similar tasks (ordering food, calling a ride), the R1 might feel redundant for users who are already comfortable with their phones.

Privacy Concerns: As with any AI assistant, there are lingering concerns about data privacy and how the R1 collects and uses your information.

High Price for Limited Features: Considering the current feature set and limitations, some reviewers find the Rabbit R1 to be overpriced for what it offers.
[Android Head-Units] lalutoww:
I need to find where can i change reverse camera settings like resolution etc.

I’ve searched in developer settings and factory settings but there isn’t anything helpful there. I’ve also seen that my android unit’s factory code is 000000 - not like the others (8888, 8878 etc).

The whole problem is that I bought a backup camera which is supposed to have 170 degrees view, but it is really zoomed in and I can’t even see when something is behind my taillight.

Here is my android head unit data. If you need any more information, please ask. Thank you!

P.S don't mind the reverse camera photo I’ve tried to change it’s position. The idea is to see how zoomed it is.
[Android Head-Units] KamDaTechDude:
js download a custom camera app
[Android Head-Units] lalutoww:
Can you explain how that would work, and would it automatically start when i put my car in reverse ?
[Android Head-Units] KamDaTechDude:
nvm i js realized u were using car but anyways js reset the android head unit in the car to factory defaults . it should work
[Android Head-Units] lalutoww:
How would that help me find the settings? or it is just a glitch and factory resetting would fix the narrow view ?
[Android Head-Units] KamDaTechDude:
more than likely it would help fix the glitch if not then maybe its a bug from a update the android head unit received
[Android Head-Units] lalutoww:
Ok, thanks I will try it. But isn’t the problem that the unit is mt8163 ? I’ve seen videos of same androids with the same settings. If factory resetting doesn’t work, is there a way to change the system version ?
[Android Head-Units] KamDaTechDude:
yh there is a way to change the system version but u would have to compile ur own custom recovery n custom rom for the android head unit + u would have to root the android head unit first
[Android Head-Units] lalutoww:
I will reset it today and update you on things. Thank you again!
[Android Head-Units] KamDaTechDude:
youre welcome : )
[Android Head-Units] lalutoww:
Hey, factory reset did nothing, camera is still zoomed in :(
[Android Head-Units] KamDaTechDude:
tbh at tis point u should js compile youre own custom recovery n custom rom then
[Android Head-Units] ikwii:
I have a head unit with the same mt8163.

the options in the factory settings appear to be quite limited in comparison do other head units.

looking at the screenshot you provided there is however a newer firmware from 2024. Just connect the head unit to a smartphone hotspot or Wi-Fi network with internet access and choose wireless update in factory settings for doing a firmeare update.

Install that theme, Then install https://universal-theme-patcher.en.lo... Then install https://www.win-rar.com/download.html. Once done, add them to your home screen, Then Extract—the Aero theme. Once done, extract the theme patcher AKA universal theme patcher. It will ask you to patch 3 files using the displayed patch button.
