Good afternoon, I wonder if there is any solution to my situation. Last Thursday I bought an Mi 5s from a vendor in OLX running normal and at the time an update appeared available I downloaded it and the device rebooted. After that, he asked for the password of an IM account linked to the device ... since I did not know that Xiaomi branded devices had this lock, later I tried to talk to the seller and he got involved ... so I did Wipe Data to see if This blocking left ... but did not leave, as the picture below. Now the seller no longer responds, he wanted to know if there would be any solution to this unfortunate situation. The screen shows: Sign in to your My Account Logo below: Enter Password Below: This device is associated with existing My Account ID (166xxxx398) And Activate Account Grateful

Seller tricked you and sold phone with Mi account on it. Now you can't unlock it. You can only try to find seller ( OLX is a internet store? If yes, I think that you should go to support of this store ) and ask for password.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any bricks/ issues you may encounter following this guide. Although, I will do my best to try to help you if something were to go wrong.
MAKE SURE OEM UNLOCK IS ENABLED UNDER DEV SETTINGS BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING BELOW
Update 2: 3/11/2021 : I see maybe deleting the .ta files may help avoid soft bricking, feel free to try it I have not personally tested yet to see if it works.
Update#3 3/13/2021 : If you are following this guide recently make sure you update to Android 11 first! Do not do any updates after the first one to Android 11! Then the flashing should work just fine. Tested and verified this on Taiwan XQ-AT52 to 51 firmware
Hello, I've managed to successfully flash AT51 firmware on my AT52 without issue using Newflasher.
Step 1 download = the US firmware/ whatever region is needed for you and new flasher/ the sony xperia drivers needed to flash the firmware to your device. Extract it to your desktop. Install the Xperia driver from newflasher if you need to/ haven't yet. Newflasher needs to be extracted into the same folder where the firmware files are that you downloaded from Xperifirm. This step is crucial!
Step 2 : Power off your Xperia and put it in flash mode by pressing down on the volume and connecting it to your PC via usb. (Do not use the USB C cable that came with the phone use a different one if you have one) You'll know it is in flashmode if the notification LED turned green and the screen remains off.
Step 3 : Open newflasher.exe
Step 4: type n then press enter
Step 5: type n again and press enter
Step 6 : This is when you should get to the flashing stage. Press Y and enter to everything you are prompted to. type y for yes to. This for me resulted in a successful conversion over to AT51.
Step 7: Once everything is done and it says you are safe to disconnect your phone please do so and then press and hold your power button until the phone boots up.
At this point you should have a fully working AT51 firmware!
Bare with me as I"m working on getting developer access for androidfilehost and will upload the files asap. In the meantime you can download newflasher and the firmware files yourself using Xperifirm if you don't wanna wait for me to upload.

Can you tell me the model of your xperia phone? If you can still get it into flash mode when the notification LED turns green you may still be able to recover it.
Hi, I finally managed to restore it. I have to remove all the ta files to flash it, then it booted up.
Thanks for your respond.
my device is corrupted please help

I have using newflasher
After using 3 time xperia companion it work normal again
Hi, I didn't find this thread until after I made an attempt at flashing the device. I followed the instructions from the link below and ended up with the device saying it's corrupted.
https://www.xperiablog.net/2018/01/...-firmware-for-xperia-xz-premium-xz1-and-more/
I tried redownloading newflasher as well as redownloading the firmware I wanted as well as a new cable and that did not help. I reflashed it with this procedure listed above and it did not help.
Xperia companion won't let me do anything because it says the device is locked even though the device was not locked and there doesn't appear to be a way to unlock it. edited to add that I did get xperia companion to repair it successfully
edit again to advise I succeeded only after doing n and enter a third time then hitting y and enter for the final flashing step and that was successful in getting it updated correctly
Would it work to unlock my phone
Thanks for the guide!
Can I ask few questions please?
First is do I need to have my bootloader unlocked? I enabled OEM unlock setting in developer settings but that is only one thing I did.
And the second one is could this flash unlock my phone?
I am in this situation where my AT51 won't work with other sims except for Vodafone. UK.
I stayed with them for 30 days, (required time frame to get your phone unlocked) requested unlock code and it has been more than 10 working days but still have not received the code.
So today I did some searching online and found the service code to check if my phone is locked to a network and to my surprise it says it's not. So I am guessing that they have limited my phone to using only their sim through some other means andnot buy locking my modem. But this is ofc just a guess.
I kept chatting with the customer support and he keeps saying wait for the code which I do not believe is going to come, they have to unlock it on their end. But I am not sure about that. I don't think they are sure either..
Basically I'll wait fem more days maybe they will unlock it but if they won't when I am thinking maybe my modem is not locked and I could unlock it by flashing different ROM?
Or do you think this won't work?
Sorry for a rambling post. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks!

You do not need the bootloader unlocked as you are flashing official firmware.
Anyone know if you can flash a XQ-AT52 to a XQ-AT51 and then back to the XQ-AT52 firmware?
Sent from my XQ-AT52 using Tapatalk
I know this thread is a few months old at this point but I'm really struggling to flash to XQ-AT51. I've successfully flashed from XQ-AT52 Hong Kong (my original firmware) to the Taiwan version which is slightly better because of the messaging compatibility but I really want to get the US version. I have tried at least 20 times over the course of a full day and I have not been able to flash the US firmware without getting an error saying "Your device is corrupt It can't be trusted and will not boot" every time. I have repaired it back to the Hong Kong firmware (back when that was the one I had) and to the Taiwan version once I had that installed. But I have never gotten the US firmware to take without the "Device is corrupt" error.
My phone is the Sony xperia 1 mark 2 running the then default XQ-AT52 Hong Kong, and now running the default XQ-AT52 Taiwan. I've been trying to flash to XQ-AT51 US. I've been using newflasher v39 and the US firmware downloaded for xperifirm v 5.5.0.
So I was able to flash from the hong kong version to the Taiwan version and back with no issues at all. But I'm still unable to flash to the US version without the "Your device is corrupt It can't be trusted and will not boot" error that seems to happen every single time I try to install the US firmware.
Can someone make me a favor and can upload the latest ftf of Android 10 for the Xperia 1ii Single SIM?

The 1 II has downgrade protection, so as long as the firmware version of the US version isn't the same or newer than the highest version you've ever used you're gonna get the corruption error.
What you could try is flashing the newer EU version and then flashing only the older US customisation image. That's what I did for a while since US firmware was older than EU firmware, and it worked. Not sure if it'll work with Android 11.

im in the us and was looking to the 256gb version (i think its taiwan). is the hong kong or taiwan version missing anything? or is the only reason to flash to US to get better coverage with us carriers?

It's for better coverage and for VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling support. Also if you get a HK one with Android 11 you will be unable to flash the US firmware, because it is still on Android 10; and the phone has anti-rollback protection.
it arrived on 10 still, but its bugging me to update.

This isn't the case now since the US models have Android 11 too now
Can anyone confirm that this process has to be done using USB 2.x? I've read in a separate post that newflasher isn't compatible with USB 3.x, which is currently what all my computer use. Also, should I be using the newest version newflasher?
EDIT: Tried on USB 2.0 and it worked perfectly.
I bought a redmi 9 (lancelot) in November. After unboxing I came to know that it has google dialer and messenger instead of mi messenger and dialer as it was a global variant. I went through different forums and found out that only indian roms have mi messenger and dialer so I decided to flash my phone with an Indian rom. first of all I unlocked its bootloader via official xiaomi unlock tool. it took 7 days. After that I flash my phone in fastboot mode with a miss matched file it was "cattails" file. I didn't knew about its codename yet (and yes that was the stupid part where I kept continue my try to flash the phone ) .
somehow phone flashed successfully but it never rebooted after flash and gone dead. now its only showing mtk port and I am unable to flash its factory firmware. how can this problem be solved now please guide me.
I don't want to visit customer care center again as they told me to replace its motherboard as they do not have authorized mi account to flash the phone.

So I've downloaded latest FW from Sammobile, and would like to flash it to my phone (SM-G960F).
The Sammobile firmware page describes how to flash the FW using Odin.
I believe these instructions assume a stock phone. Does having TWRP affect the Odin flashing procedure at all? I'm guessing that it will simply restore the stock recovery, and I will need to reinstall TWRP.
UPDATE:
I just flashed the FW following Sammobile directions without issue.
You need to reinstall TWRP after flashing. The OEM unlock setting was already enabled, so I did not need to format data or do dm-verity thing you do when installing TWRP, but YMMV.
Hi. Random question- I have an unlocked Samsung Z Fold 3 (SM-F926UI) that I bought from Samsung in the US. With the new software update it now shows the eSIM option in my phone. I am currently carrying a work phone and a personal phone. I would love to just carry one mobile phone instead of two. What I learnt is that I can transfer both my phone numbers to my Z Fold 3 (one physical + 1 eSIM) but only one number will work at any given time and other one would be at 'standby' mode (practically switched off).
I wonder if I can buy a dual sim tray for Z Fold 3 from ebay and install/flash latest firmware from sammobile or some other website. Would it allow me to use dual sim (both active at the same time) on my Z Fold 3?
I wonder if the hardware is already there, I just need to 'jailbreak' it??
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
guys i need some help if anyone can help me out !
