Question Meta mode in Nokia G10 TA-1334 - Nokia G10 / G20 / G21

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to rewrite lost IMEI after flashing stock rom (No backup). Tried everything in my sleeve. I am trying to find out how to enter in Meta mode so I can use the SN write tool or Modem meta. Tried following things:
adb reboot meta - nothing happening except reboot.
Vol button combo - nothing but fastboot and recovery.
Root - bootloader/oem can't be unlocked
Tried verity of tools nothing happening.
Brom mode - TP needs to be connected all the time (This is how I flashed the Rom).
Does any of you guys know how to activate Meta mode in this device. Seems nobody shared that detail over internet. Please help..
Thanks in advance.

Please make sure you have all the required drivers installed. If not please just install HMD Device Kit and it will install all the necessary drivers or you can manually install drivers from here.

Hi mvikrant97,
Sorry for the belated reply, I have installed HMD Device Kit drivers as per your link. but still its not detecting by Modem meta or SN Writer tool. While I connect the switched off phone this shows up in device manager.

Were you able to connect device before when it was in working condition?
It also seems like the cable you are using is malfunctioned or the device USB port itself.
I'm sorry but I will have to ask you questions to diagnose the problem.

As I have mentioned before, I flashed this device with stock ROM using the same usb cable by triggering Test point in Brom Mode, So I highly doubt this is because of the faulty usb cable. Thereafter I lost my IMEI, but fortunately I had one IMEI noted down beforehand. I am trying to rewrite that IMEI so that I can use my SIM. Seriously what is this Meta Mode? This means nokia G10 doesn't support Meta Mode?
Please feel free to ask any question or suggestions mate.

You will need Pandora Tool to fix up the IMEI.
But as much I know you need to have the backup beforehand to fix the issue.
You may refer to the video below

Thanks for the heads up. Looked up the tool, seems expensive than the G10 itself. Still wondering why the phone is not detected though.

Maybe because the phone does not support Meta mode

Bricked LG G3 - Need help!

Hi guys, I recently decided that i would root my phone and try and install cyanogenmod (new to me) as my phone seemed quite sluggish with LG's own bloatware on it. I followed the steps from LGG3ROOT and everything seemed to work well, and at the last stage when it asked me to then remove my battery and restart the phone... the phone just stayed on the lg page - never logging into the android system.
Ive tried to plug the device into multiple machines and each time the machines have issues with the device and it says the device has issue starting (10).
Im not really sure what else i can do as the phone seems bricked. Any help would be very much appreciated as i need access to the phone and i assume the warranty is now void.
Thanks in advance.

can you post
the guide that you used to root
your phone variant
and whether it boots into download mode
what firmware version you were running
the guide i followed was this (exactly) http://highonandroid.com/android-smartphones/how-to-root-lg-g-flex-2-g2-g3-on-lollipop/
i have a UK D855
I can get it to download mode (but cant get to recovery with the power and down buttons)
unsure exactly which firmware, i hadn't played around with the phone until this happened.
when i let the phone get stuck on the lg page the windows pc seems to recognise the device, if i put it in download mode it comes up with the device error that it is there but cannot be run.
Thanks.
You probably have either
1) A bad usb cable
2) Or your drivers arent properly installed
You are plugging it into a USB2.0 port right?
I installed the drivers from the universal LG driver tool from their site, it worked find with the phone (or so it showed) before this issue, i've also tried a different cable and a different machine for it to come up with that same driver problem (10). Ive also tried uninstalling the driver software and reinstalling, is there a way to get rid of all traces of the bad drivers? thanks again for replying

Working Fine
This is when the device isn't put into download mode and instead is left to try and boot (where it is stuck on the LG 'life's good' page).
Any idea guys? Im having no luck with any info im getting online at the moment and i'm really in need of this phone to work.
Thanks in advance.
Can you expand the "android device" section.
See if it's android adb
sorry, i think i quite understand. Which part should i expand on?
Thanks
In
device manager, look up Android device.
Update
The phone will now only go straight to firmware update and will never go or show the download mode as it has before. This is causing my LG Flash Tool to come up with 'cant change to download mode' and im not sure why or how this has happened.
The phone is now appearing fine on the device list. Its just the last of download mode. Is there a way to force it in cmd?
Please some screenshot again. The one I linked would be fine for adb
I see you can boot on download mode, so you can restore your G3 by applying a kdz firmware with flashtool2014: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
On download mode the G3 is recognized only in ports (com&lpt)

Bootloader deleted, hard brick, need some help?

Hello guys,
I have cedric, bootloader unlocked, rooted, etc.. I used some SDcard format app and selected wrong storage to format emmcblk0, so i formated entire phone, now in device manager its detected as "Quectel QDLoader 9008
" cannot power it on as well i think bootloader is bricked, i tryed to flash but cant find anything related to this phone, also cant find blankflash.
Do you guys have any info on how to unbrick this hard-brick, or its just paper weight? I don't get how did moto/lenovo allow bootloader erase option from system, even with root...
Regards
Perhaps search for some driver that enables the transfer of the bootloader for "Quectel QDLoader 9008"?
I've found some results relating to unbricking this, and according to some of them it refers to a chipset, use this search perhaps https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Q...rome..69i57.2111j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------
found this, it may help http://www.androidbrick.com/lenovo-zuk-phones-qfil-roms-unbrick-guide/
Tryed, not applicable for this mode, i need blankflash or some other method, i still have yet to try sdcard flash, but i am loosing hope here, might just accept that its totally bricked and thats it, oh well moving on i guess.
Guys i am trying to make unbrick method for Cedric, does anyone have 5 minutes of time to make loader.img, all you have to do is to be on firmware .93, bl unlocked and rooted.
Type in terminal emulator dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/Loader.img bs=1024 count=168960
And upload me that file, it will be around 160mb, i will try to test it and if it works upload the tutorial. The command above just reads your mmmcblk0 so there is no chance of bricking your device.
No one willing to give away five minutes to help? I will make it worthwhile since my phone is dead i am sure there is a change to fix it with this, and will make tutorial for community

Hey Mate i would help you if i could, but i'm on -72, if this would help you tell me, and i will upload the file asap.
@Cubico
We can try, but i don't think it will work tho. Please upload and we will see i guess
Ok guys new update, @Cubico provided me with Loader.img -73 firmware, so far tried nothing changed, device still showing no sign of life except Qualcomm 9008... not booting or anything, if someone have 93 bootloader Loader.img dump i can try that too, if not i will take it to shop to someone with JTAG and update you on status.
I have got a similar issue with an X4 that's hard bricked.
I know wrong forum, but I can't find anyone to help.
Trying to use QFIL I get "Download Fail: Switch To EDL Fail: Failed to Switch to Emergency Download mode"
ANY ideas? Thank you anyone that may be able to help!
Try installing this driver, then transfer/flash the bootloader, I can't help you with the actual img though.

Hi, just saw this - I'm on NP25.137-93
Do you still need this dump?
Let me know and I'll get on it
Edit - aww crap!
Really sorry to get your hopes up! Just remembered, my phone's not unlocked or rooted! This is the first phone I've had in years that I've kept unrooted, so I didn't initially realise.
?
Np, i took the phone to service center for JTAG, hopefully they will manage to fix it somehow

This is not related to driver, bot Qualcomm and Quectel 9008 drivers work and allow communication with the phone, patch level is too high so blankflash files dont pass and dont allow bootloader to be flashed. Only solution is JTAG or motherboard replacement if patch level is higher than one in april 2017 i think.
Rip another cedric.

This has happened to me and I'm lucky had the assistance replaced the motherboard of the device. Your bootloader was not deleted, it was moved to a temporary partition that the boot script cannot find after pressing to start.
The problem with the manufacture is of the appliance was to have the bootloader on the same chip as the other partitions, causing the device to be easily hardbroken.
Solution? None so far.
I saw a guy who unbricked a potter (G5 Plus), but I've seen nothing from the G5.
Heh, another G5 killer here. A bad attempt at downgrading due to IMEI 0 left it as QLoader 9008. I guess I'll have to go back to my old Nexus 4.
Motorola sucks bad, Google and Xiaomi for instance have tools to recover dead bootloader eg. "Mi Flash", motorola gave developers easy bootloader unlock but no way to recover it, whats the point then, either make it recoverable or make it non erasable easily.

It doesn't seem to work for me. It might be because I had the latest January update when I killed my Cedric.
These .img files should boot bootloader directly from SDCard but it seems thar Cedric does not support this feature, so only way is JTAG and non updated blank-flash file.

Question RM6/6Pro Unbrick Tool - EDL Flash / Switch from CN to EU

Hello guys,
I received the following unbrick tool from my supplier in Shenzhen - China and wanted to share it with you since I noticed that many people are desperate to fix their RM6 and swap it to EU.
The process is super easy:
1) Download & extract the following .zip
https://mega.nz/file/ntBSxDKa#h9vUPGoWVyqtyDYWYmSgz8bE1_vNimBMAqTp9csvv-w
2) Make sure all the drivers are installed correctly (Qualcomm, EDL etc...)
3) Open the MiTool application
4) in MiTool, select the folder images
5) Put your phone in EDL mode
6) Once connected, Click flash - the brushing process will start automatically.
7) Once done, force reset and VoilĂ !
There's an alternative as well: MultiportQLoader
I haven't tried it myself, feel free to try it and share the steps.
Im sorry if any details aren't clear, but I'm typing this while driving xD
Good luck and would appreciate a shout-out on insta @Out.Geeked ^^
THANK YOU SIR
To ask a dumb question, but is this only the 6 or for the pro as well?
Works for both
Thank you so much, it work after someone help me erase flash

Yeah I checked the model number against the box it came in and gave it a shot, now it shows the RM logo and then reboots to the bootloader lmao this phone legit hates me
*edit*
So I think either I'm doing something wrong or this phone is actually messed up. Checked the drivers, tried 2 other cables, all my USB ports and still all it does is briefly show the white "System Rebooting" screen and then the RM logo for about 20 seconds and then reboots to fastboot/bootloader.
MiFlash shows "couldn't find flash script" but otherwise looks like it goes through the reflash process completely but QLoader always fails with an error "Unknown chunk type cac2"
Does this unbrick method require the bl to be unlocked?
anyone lost their imei after doing this? hahahha
i did lost my imei, but manage to repair it but... it still doesnt detect mobile network idk what to do now lol

I thought we should apply the NA/Asia version.

[Guide] Restore Lost IMEIs / Repair Network or Radio Issues
I accidentally restored TWRP backup of another Zuk Z2 phone on my new pgone and in this process over-wrote the EFS partition. This left me with a phone having no IMEI, no mac for Wifi and Bluetooth. Effectively No Network on phone. Worried, I...
forum.xda-developers.com
this maybe work, havent test it out
Since we have the partition layout & the correct firehose, it should actually be a good practice by anyone wanting to play with their phone (BL unlock, root, dev, etc) to first dump the critical partitions.
That way, you can always restore. Example: EFS, misc, persist, etc.

Select the images folder and then hit flash.
Mine is alive again, no more problems.
I think I know why a lot of people have probably bricked their device after flash from CN to Global. If you do a local update, let the device REboot until the end. After the restart it uses the update.zip again. I think a lot of people did a factory reset immediately after the reboot (like me in Recovery) and the system can no longer find the update.zip.
Therefore, let the update run through, reboot until you are back in the system. Then you can do a factory reset.

Question Bricked phone - Need help ASAP

I did something similar with the non pro and oneplus replaced the phone, didn't even pay for shipping. Tried every msm tool available. My advice is to open a ticket with oneplus and see what they can do. That being said, my situation was different as it happens weeks after the phone was available (I think I broke it was even available in retail)
So that may have played a huge part of their generosity. I am in the US (may be applicable as well)
That being all said, I never lied to them nor was I looking for a replacement, I just wanted it fixed and assumed I was missing a step that the new phone may have added. I went through every trouble shooting suggestion and even scheduled a remote technician spot.
The technician refused to connect, though, because I downloaded the MSMToolkit he linked to me and said to download and install for it to be available when he remotely connected later. I noticed this technician (who was from germany, oddly enough) sent me a cracked MSMtoolkit (no sign in required like the official one I assumed they would use) the only difference being it was. answer variant the one available to us. So seeing I didn't have to wait for him to initiate it, all I did was attempt it, hoping into at least verify my system drivers were working and that I wouldn't be wasting his time. I replied to him his version was also giving me the error, only in hope he would be better prepared, like maybe it would let him know I needed some special driver or opened port on my network (but it was cracked anyhow)
He replied back in anger " who told you to try? I said to just extract and be ready. we will not assist you further and you are on the hook for any cost of repairs" and then closed my ticket.
I reopened the ticket asking why a technician, who from what I could gather, was a 3rd party service, making such statements on behalf of one plus? I also asked why the same technician was telling me to utilize cracked MSMtoolkits. Next thing I knew I had a next day FedEx label in my inbox to print and ship my phone out.
Maybe it was the timing, the the tech and me calling them out or maybe oneplus can easily fix the problem in house and decided to go that route.
Either way, there's no cost to opening a ticket with one plus, beyond language barriers and tedious preliminary troubleshooting. If you bought it at launch, id be concerned about the length of time and their desire to be as helpful. Not suggesting you lie but maybe just dont over share information.
If you searched, you'd see this :

Make sure you connect the USB cable directly to your computer, preferably in a USB 2.0 port, not via a hub.
Check the other stuff I mentioned in that post too. If you see the sahara communication failure, try rebooting the phone into EDL mode again while the software is running, it'll likely see it the next time. Also make sure you've selected your region in the top dropdown menu in MSM tool.

Not OP, and I truely hope this helps him fix the issue but when this happens to me, I know it wasn't in EDL, as did Oneplus. Thankfully they were open to replacing it for me, but that is nothing to assume ever happening again.
Also had this sahara communication error. Turns out it was just the method of connecting it for me.
What I did was put it into EDL mode with vol up and down for 15s and while holding the keys connect the USB with the software already running, and set to start. I don't remember the message but it said "waiting for communication" or similar, and it would immediately start the recovery when connecting the USB

Question Hard bricked Mi Pad 5, while installing windows 11

Hi, is there any alternatives to rescue my device? i can not enter to fastboot, nor to recovery.
In miflash i have no active connection. Is there any solution, or did i just make it dead?
only shows mi logo (powered by android)
My theory is that my EFI bootloader was written in memory, therefore my bootloader is gone after restarting windows.
(interestingly there is no bootloader unlocked indication, as before.)

Sorry to hear that, please share your steps to disaster to let others know how to avoid this.
I assume that you used default Windows installer that broke your ufs gpt, instead of the installer you should have been used dism.
At this stage only a service may help you, they will put the device in edl mode and flash a stock firmware.
I think the only way to bring it back to life is to get it into EDL mode and force flash stock rom.
but to get to EDL first have to get to fastboot, i dont think it will work, also tried...

That is one way to get EDL, the other one is with a special USB plug if your device permit this, or open the back case and short two special test points on motherboard before power up to enter the EDL.
After you have your device in EDL mode you will need a tool to flash a stock image but as well you will be required to use a special program to authenticate, known as firehose, that kind of program should be signed by Xiaomi, this is why you need to go to an "authorized" service, which paid the signing authorization to Xiaomi.

Very useful info thank you! Just ordered a deepflash cable, hopefully i will find a workaround to flash in EDL.
If not, i'll try to get it done under warranty. I do not want to risk a keylog or a scam.
I bricked my tablet in the same way, only I can enter fastboot mode, by mistake when flashing a rom I did not change the option to lock the bootloader, now my pad 5 only turns on in fastboot mode, I don't have access to anything else , it does not let me flash with xiaomiflash because it says that it cannot proceed with the bootloader locked

You should download the latest MIUI Stable Fastboot update corresponding to your region (global, eeaor other) from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/miui-updates-tracker-xiaomi-pad-5-nabu.4328591/ , decompress the tgz file with 7zip or another software, and then, with your device in fastbboot mode, execute the flash_all.bat file within the folder you extracted. This should work even with a locked bootloader.
Good luck

Well, maybe I was wrong and you need an unlocked bootloader for this method to work. You could try to unlock it again with MiUnlock https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html . Otherwise, I am out of idea.
I tried it and it didn't work, it tells me that I have to enable my miui account.

Well, then I'm out of ideas. Maybe you should see what the seller's support can do.
