Customer was on my neck and was already talking of paying for the device then lo and behold today i was reading through some post on unbrick and i bumped into a solution i thought wasnt worth it as i have tried it buh never paid attention too. its a post by @white_3n on https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8-pro/how-to/guide-unbrick-stuck-da-mode-authorised-t4000433/page5. here is it in details:

Hello Mdutsu,
Are you saying that removing the battery and putting it back gave you access back to fastboot (power + volume-) ?
I'm in your situation, without access to fastboot and only EDL falshing seems to be an option, but I have to pay someone with an authorized account...
I'd like to confirm that as you void warranty by removing the back cover.

hi this just happen to me i try you're method but screen stay black and when i connect to computer i just hear the connect/disconnect sound and mi tools don't find the phone what can i do ?

I had the same exact issue a few days ago. follow the instructions on this video and it should get you back up and running. Worked like a charm for me. ask me if have any questions.
There is a youtube video that will show you how to fix it but i cant paste the URL because it adds the entire video. search this in youtube

[SOLVED] Rooting HDC Galaxy Note 2 Mega (MTK6577)

Hi guys!
Just recently I bought the "HDC Galaxy Note 2" off of fastcardtech. I got it a few days ago, am fairly pleased with it except for the slight miscalibrated touch screen. There are some apps on various markets aiming to fix this by re-applying new calibrations. The problem is that you'll have to be rooted in order to run them.
The phone comes with a built-in calibration setting, called "Als_ps calibration", which you can utizile to correct the sensor. Alas, it only corrects the phone's recognition of obstacles placed above it, so that you accidentaly wouldn't press any undesired button during a call.
Phone: http://www.fastcardtech.com/Galaxy-Note-2-Mega
Here's what I've done so far!
Enabled USB-debugging and installed USB-drivers. [MT65xx_USB_Driver.zip]
Tried the bin4ry root method, normal mode. [Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18.zip]
This method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Everything works just fine until the phone reboots. Bin4ry is then unable to mount or copy the last files needed to apply root permission, see attached picture.
I have attached my specs in a screenshot, nevermind the quality, t'was done by another crap-camera! Sorry ;]
Any kind soul who can help me root this thing?
Edit:
Rooting this device has been made possible by GT35pro. See posts below.

I just created the cwm recovery and root. The link is on my blog. The zip file is password protected so be sure to get it from my blog page.

After you have clockwork mod recovery, use it to flash the root access into the phone.
Have fun!

Extra Guide
Follow the link provided by GT35pro in his first post.
To everyone attempting this flash;
!! First of all, copy the Superuser.zip to the root of your internal phone memory or external SD Card.!!
* Use a high-quality mini-USB cable (The one that comes with your phone should work just fine)
* Connect your MEGA to your pc, without the battery inserted.
(This device will connect and disconnect, when it's visible, be sure to grab it and follow the next step)
* Make sure that you have the right drivers for MTK65xx preloader "mtk65xx Vcom driver" and install them through the Device Manager.
* Insert your battery again, with the cable still connected, and install the second MTK65xx preloader.
* Disconnect phone from pc and remove the battery
* Start up Smart flash Tool and select the scatter file included in the package.
* Now, select and tick the checkbox for Recovery only. Smart Flash Tool will complain about the flash, due to it not containing all the appropriate files needed for a "secure boot". Nevermind that pop-up and proceed with downloading.
* Start Download
* Insert the battery and connect your phone to your pc, with that, the flashing should start.
* Boot Phone into recovery mode (pwr button and vol - or vol +) and install superuser from ZIP-file.
* After reboot you should be rooted.
///////////////
Fun Fact!
I actually managed to install a pre-rooted HDC S7100 rom on my MEGA.
The port isn't 100% accurate
-Invalid IMEI, this was fixed by Talkingmobile's guide; " how to write imei number for MTK 65XX " -Just google it!
-Auto-rotation is unavailable, no fix yet.
-Als_pl calibration is unavailable (resulting in active screen during call)
Besides that, the rom is arguably better than the MEGA's original N7100 rom, in terms of visual presentation.
Smooth transitions, vivid and vibrant colors would be a good example of aspects that would come out as improved over the original rom.
Interested in the S7100 rom? Just PM me and I'll provide the link.
Cheers!
S_ft_need_download_all_fail (4050)
I'm trying for several days, but always get this error in the flash tool: S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050)
Tried on Windows 7 x64, Windows 7 x32 and Windows XP SP3 (x32). Only on the Windows XP computer I was able to make a backup with Flash Tool using the Read Back option.
When I try to flash the red bar goes to 100% then the error message shows...
Does anyone get this error aswell, and did someone manage to solve this?
Please help, I'm in desperate need for root because I need touch screen calibration.
Thnx!!
YES! SUCCES!! I managed to root my HDC Mage :laugh: Did use another method though, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490 if you are interested.
Anyway, now back to calibrating the touchscreen. What tools are good do fix touchscreen issues? I already tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934500, but I still am not satisfied.
Thnx :good:

Because I tried to order 5 different phones from China including Fastcardtech; they couldn't ship for some reason; even got an empty box from ZOPO mobile. I ended up buying the BLU here in the US, I'm kind of glad it happened, since now I have an N'vidia Tegra 4 CPU, that runs circles around the dual-core phones.
I did order one more phone on ebay from China, been waiting for 2 weeks now. MAKES ME WONDER IF THEY EVEN ACTUALLY SHIP TO THE US AT ALL?
Thank to Paypal I was able to get refunded everytime.

An 80Xx error does not always mean device not connected. It can also mean there is something not right in the scatterfile (error 8038). You should take a look at the sp flash tool logfiles. You can post them here so I can have a look.

There is something wrong in the layout of the scatterfile. Can you post the logiles of sp flash tool? Just zip them all together.
I have had the exactly the same error with my HDC Mage. I just had to rename a small section of the scatterfile and then it was all good.

[SOLVED][HELP] WiFi not working (I tried almost everything !)

Hello everybody !
Ok, I am use to not ask any help, and to find out by myself. But I have to admit I don't have any idea remaining to solve this problem.
Let me explain you the situation :
I explain everything with details to not waste your time when you will help me !
When I first bought my Zenfone, everything worked properly. Then, I decided to flash a Custom ROM (to remove the bloatware, and to get the others optimizations). So what I did :
- I unlocked the bootloader,
- I flashed TWRP,
- I installed my custom ROM (SuperZen R15, super clean install) => at this moment, everything is working perfectly,
- I installed a custom Kernel (ProjectT, v56) by fastboot => here we are, the problem just appeared.
At this moment, the WiFi issues appear. When I boot the phone, I can turn on the WiFi (in most cases), then, WiFi just turn off. It is impossible to activate it again. In the best case, I can switch on/off the WiFi, but as soon as I download something, the WiFi just turn off immediately. Often, I just don't detect any network. In the worse case, it is impossible to activate again the WiFi, the ON/OFF button is grey.
So here is what I tried to get it back :
1) put the standard kernel with my TWRP backup => no success
2) flash another ROM (CM12, Paranoid Android, Barebone,...etc) => no success
3) flash my whole TWRP backup (system + kernel) => no success
4) flash the official Asus ROM (recovery.img, system.img, boot.img, droidboot.img) => no success
At the moment, I started thinking that maybe the WiFi just "forgot" my WPA key. So I modified the build.prop :
5) modification of the build.prop by adding the line ro.securestorage.support=false (instead of "true") => no success
6) flash the last Asus update 2.20.40... => no success.
...
I haven't any idea remaining !So I need your help ! This problem seems very standard, but I just couldn't find any solution yet !
P.S : I almost forgot. I talked about the wiFi signal, but it is exactly the same for the bluetooth signal : working on first boot, then when I use it, it just stop working and disconnect itself, and then, impossible to activate it again (grey button)
=> My last idea was to flash the radio directly by TWRP, but I didn't find any radio files for the zenfone 2...
Many thanks for your help, and thank you for reading everything !!

Try setting your phone as a wifi hotspot. If other devices are able to detect your device, it is a software issue. Or else, you might have to book an appointment with the Asus service center

You're such a genius ! I will try this evening ! Thanks a lot !
Didn't do anything. It's not working. I was thinking my wifi was just broken, but something creepy happened this morning. The Wi-Fi worked again (I downloaded one thing to be sure !) and then... My phone froze, and reboot... Is the devil inside my phone ??
SOLVED ! If someone has the same problem, just flash the stock ROM via ADB Sideload !
Step by step :
1) You go here, and download your version of the stock ROM : http://www.asus.com/fr/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/
2) (If fastboot/adb drivers are installed) Go into your recovery (Advanced in TWRP)
3) Connect the phone to the PC, type WINDOWS + R , enter 'cmd'
4) Go into your firmware directory you just downloaded, and type : adb sideload 'thenameofthefirmwarefile'.zip
5) Wait (a loooong time), and here we go, reboot, and your phone work again.

can you tell me what firmware you used exactly? because i tried to flash the first one, from the asus page.
But it says that i have a newest build and it doesn`t lets me past trough the installing part.
I am also having troubles with my wifi and i would like to fix it
Hello ! I don't remember exactly, I went on a website and selected the right version for my country ! But my problem wasn't solve at all actually... I brought my phone to the store, and they told me my motherboard was just burnt. They changed everything, and now it works like a charm ! Be careful with the custom kernel, I'm pretty sure that's how my phone broke (I'm very careful with batteries,...etc)
Well thanks anyway. I will try to take the phone to te oficial ASUS services from my country but i don´t think they give a new one. I live in Uruguay and this cellphone is not at sale over here
Does sideloading the firmware wipe your apps? Or is every thing still there when its done?

Oppo Reno Unlock bootloader !!!

Hi Everyone,
Good news you can know unlock the boatloader of the Oppo Reno China Version.
All you have to do is follow the link below and download and install the deep testing APK for the Oppo reno.
Once installed just follow the instructions on the app to complete the process
https://bbs.coloros.com/thread-1498611-1-1.html
Reno APK link:
https://bbs.coloros.com/forum.php?m...zZjZkZmE2fDE1NjU5MDIxOTl8NDY0MzE2MHwxNDk4NjEx
Few things to note !!!
You can only unlock your bootloader once your Oppo ID has been logged into the phone for 60 days or more.
They only accept 15,000 applications per month and the quota refreshes on the 16th of the month.
Let the development begin ?
Thanks
John
wrong !!!!
You can only unlock bootloader for the chinese variants of RENO and RENO 10X
Mine says it failed. Because you have carrier customized version
So for the oppo phone, can unlock bl this way, but no custom rom?

When I click on the APK, it leads me to the OPPO ID Login page and when I log in, it just takes me to the OPPO login screen, it doesn't give me a "Start" option, just a regular login. When I go back to the APK page, it just logs me out and gives me the APK options.; it does the same thing when done on a laptop. Is there any other way to download the APK?
Does anyone have
Reno Ace depth test.apk
or where can i download it?

Your lucky day
First all credits to http://www.romleyuan.com
Oppo Reno
Oppo Reno Ace
If im breaking any rules by posting the file let me know ill take it down asap.
Note: is not a problem it self the problem is us the users are to much for limited quantity of slots for in depth testing app download and in depth testing it self they only select certain amount of people per month is first come first served, as long as you have all their requirements completed you'll be accepted to download and into the in depth testing.
Can you find one for the F11?
hello I have an Oppo Reno cph 1917 and I want to unlock the bootloader but when I run the adb command to run the fastboot mode it reboots my Reno fine in fastboot mode but just enough time to display the fastboot logo then start normally how I can do to keep it in fastboot mode? thanks
In-depth test apk
Any way I found an indepth test apk on apk mirror ( Can't post links yet) "apkmirror.com/apk/oppo/depth-testing/depth-testing-1-0-1-release/depth-testing-1-0-1-android-apk-download/"
I don't know where I saw it, but for unlock bootloader, I had read that for the Reno 4, you had to go to ADB and once in fastboot mode, type "fastboot flash unlock".
So basically:
- Put your phone in developer mode (5 presses on the version number)
- Authorize OEM unlocking in the developer menu (it can be found in "other parameters, then" options for developers "")
- Connect in ADB
- Switch to fastboot mode
- Fastboot flash unlock
Personally I have not tried, however. i just tried to go to boot loader with no succes.
Like vinc88 When I run an adb reboot bootloader, I have the bootloader access logo displayed for 2 seconds, then black screen and normal boot.
By pressing vol- and vol+ and On/off (all three) at the same time, I had a ding dong as if I was in it, but I had no reaction in adb .. Maybe try to dig that.. (or vol+ vol - and insert USB cable)

hello I have an Oppo Reno cph 1917 and I want to unlock the bootloader but when I run the adb command to run the fastboot mode it reboots my Reno fine in fastboot mode but just enough time to display the fastboot logo then start normally how I can do to keep it in fastboot mode? thanks

You have to download the app for that phone and you have to register the phone I think it's 3 months or a month or something like that then after they send you a confirmation oppo you'll be able to unlock the bootloader but until then you have to register an account and download the app for it Google it you'll find it
I wonder if this still works or if they closed the 'Test'

Huh, it's not just binding your PRIVATE pc with your Mi account. Auth_whatever.exe allow me to login without any errors, ready to flash message not red unauthorised account warning.
I think my account authorized because either I plead to them for giving me authority to FLASH when on RN3PRO BIG MESS CASE, I must apply form in CHINESE (there was tutorial because I dunno any Chinese). I need one because very hardbrick after flashing alpha rom, yes one dead phone with no fastboot / recovery revived :silly:
Either that or because my account bonded and already unlock dozens different models devices (I am reseller, some people especially old ppl and technology illiterate ones let me managed their phones account).
Binded account unfortunately won't be able to be used on other pc. I got a notice that I will only got limited access for a week or so if I change the pc I Binded, so sharing is impossible.
If you ever ask authority to flash in Chinese and got accepted (I need to wait 5 days after submitting request) chance you got one authorized account
Hello,
I tried to use my standard mi account, just in case (spoiler, didn't work) and the download process is stuck at the state it is just before pluging the phone. I mean, pluging the phone does not start anything, but still my computer sees the phone. The flash tool does not display any error about authorization.
Does anyone know if it's a normal behaviour ? It sounds a bit strange not to display any error.

Haven't they changed the need for an authorized account? I bricked my RN8P and tried this.. the first time I used my mi account I got an error upon login, but the second time I tried it a bit later, it worked.. Does this mean I have an authorized account now? The unbrick process worked like a charm btw. I however, had the preloader files installed as stated somewhere else on this forum (preloader_begonia and lk).

Is that the same case as The Great Anti Rollback Pandemic? I've messed up my Note 5 Pro and missed the chance to apply for special permission, so got that bad boy resurrected with a bypassed xiaomi flash.

Stuck in recovery
Hi guys
i'm stuck with my RN8P CN, I've made mistakes while thinking I have a global version but instead I have CN version. So now my phone is stuck with no rom and I have thestock recovery, the bootloader is locked, fastbook is ok.
But when i want to use mi unlock to install TWRP and the stock rom it failed saying "please add your account in MIUI settings".
How can i do that without a rom ? Or so, do you have a guide for getting back a stock phone with stock recovery/rom ?
Thanks in advance guys

Unfortunately, there is no helping as per today for your condition. Your only choises is:
Go to Xiaomi Service Center nearby,
Buy a Third Party smart box based flash solution (it cost fortune, but worth for investment if you see your smartphone as "toys").
Buy a Third Party account to authenticate flash with third party flash solution (No smartbox needed, and cost a fraction of fortune).
Go to a nearest phone repair shop (They usually have one of two flash solution above, cost around $20-$30, depends on your region)
Use a Remote-based flash solution (You connect your phone to your computer, repairman will ask you to install necessary tools, and control your PC via remote desktop)
Buy a new phone (totally cost an arm and leg)
As none of solution above is supported by this community, you will have to go on your own.
Cheers.

Bootloader UNLOCKED - need ROM

Hello,
So the good news is - apparently we can unlock Kirin 970 now. I did the hardware testpoint mode with the HCU Client and it worked just fine! I was replacing the battery anyway so I already had access to the motherboard. The question now is - what happened to LineageOS ROMs? Looks like they just deleted all of them.
Is there anybody out there with one of them on their HDD willing to share? Google cached website is showing two of them:
lineage-16.0-20210211-nightly-charlotte-signed.zip 2/11/21
lineage-16.0-20210204-nightly-charlotte-signed.zip 2/4/21
I'm gonna try to build a custom LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11) soon as well.
Thanks.

Ok so here was the process:
1) Backed up all my data from the device (CLT-L29)
2) Factory reset the device
3) I used Huawei Hisuite software to rollback as far (BACK) as I could. It actually let me downgrade to EMUI 8.
4) Installed HCU and DC Phoenix (timed 72 hour license for both was like 20 euro)
5) Installed NECESSARY drivers on my Windows 10 machine (HUAWEI USB COM 1.0) for the testpoint
6) I opened the phone (I wanted to replace the battery anyway). Unscrew a couple of screws and take a shield to get to the pad.
7) With the phone completely off, short the testpad to ground (I used tweezers) and plug in the USB cable while still shorting out that pad. (USB cable that is connected to your Windows machine that is). Your phone screen will stay completely OFF, but you should hear an USB "ding" sound in you windows machine. Go to the device manager and check for HUAWEI USB COM 1.0 (Your Port). If you don't see it it won't work.
8) Fire up HCU Client, check account, select "Fastboot/XLoader (Hisilicon only)" on phone connection mode.
9) Go to the "Fastboot/Xloader" tab and select CPU (for me Kirin970_T2_A8.1_V5) worked fine.
10) Click Read phone info button, you'll see a progress bar on the bottom, it should take like 2 minutes
11) If everything went fine you'll see a log on the right with your unlock code in it
12) You can unlock it from that software, select "Bootloader lock: unlock", and "Write bootloader code" I also selected "Erase Huawei ID" and click "Repair" button. It will be quick. And that's it!
Now, flashing a custom ROM was a pain. Apparently most of them REQUIRE EMUI 9.0.0.159 (159 is the KEY!). You must get the original firmware and flash it with DC Phoenix. After that the process went something like this...
1) Put the phone in fastboot/rescue mode (hold the volume down button wile inserting USB cable with the phone off)
2) Flash TWRP for charlotte with fastboot from your PC
3) Restart phone into RECOVERY (TWRP) mode
4) Sideload your rom.ZIP file (Lineage for example)
5) Sideload google apps
6) Sideload factory camera app (honestly its the best for that phone)
7) Restart the bootloader (you will be in the fastboot mode again)
8) Upload the ORIGINAL recovery image (it wont boot if you dont do it) you can revert to TWRP after the first boot
9) Go into Huawei recovery mode (power+volume up)
10) Wipe/factory reset
11) Restart and you are done! (now you can flash TWRP again if you want)
It took me an entire day of work to figure it out. All the info (steps) is available online including the location of the test pad and disassembly of the phone. Here's an awesome guide to flashing Lineage (https://depl0y.com/posts/P20-Pro-LineageOS-Guide/). One thing I've noticed if you try to use HiSuite AFTER you unlocked your bootloader it WILL lock it again. I had to do it twice while I was trying to get EMUI 9.0.0.159. The best way was to use DC Phoenix and ROM from androidhost.ru.
Anyway after all that I now have an unlocked P20 Pro with stock android. It's bloatware free and runs great. So far no major issues with the ROM.

Things are not that simple. The HiSuite on Mac have been updated.
I can't find the button that can roll back or check for update after this.
Maybe I should try HiSuite on Windows.
I suddenly remembered that I cannot use HiSuite Windows version to roll back to EMUI 8 , but I can roll back to EMUI 9. Maybe I can roll back to EMUI 8 from EMUI 9. Needing roll back twice ?

You *should be able to unlock it with EMUI 9. I rolled it back to 8, just to find out later on I need 9.0.0.159 anyway. So I used HiSuite to update it to 9 - but it wasn't the version I wanted and also doing this in HiSuite removed my bootloader code, so I ended up using HCU Client on EMUI 9 and it worked just fine. After that I used DC Phoenix to flash the 9.0.0.159 (bootloader stayed unlocked). It was a pain, but yeah you SHOULD be able to unlock it with EMUI9.

Here's a log from unlocking 9.0.0.168...
Just to let you know that official ROM (lineage-16.0-20210211-nightly-charlotte-signed.zip) is not working on my P20 Pro. It crashes on the first boot. I'm back with (lineage-16.0-20190217_125340-UNOFFICIAL-charlotte.zip) I believe it was made made by LuK1337. Works great. I use it with open gapps pico version.
guys, this is p20 non-pro forum.
why are you discussing this here?
