honor 7s - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

this phone use mt6739.so i want to flash it the twrp to my phone.i dunno to unlock the bootloader but the twrp file not have for this device.

I just saw this post as I too have a Honor 7S
There is NO TWRP for our device.
The TWRP for the Honor 7A/7C/7X and Honor 7 doesn't work on our device and you got to pay 4 euros to unlock the bootloader before you can even flash TWRP (and there isn't one)
This Device is treble compatible but now I've found out there is zero development and no Devs Interested in it it's a complete and utter waste of time and has gone back into its box, never to be seen again.

hi there, I get this phone recently (because is old) and I created twrp for i,t so here it is, if you want some fun
you can flash it via flashtool on locked bootloader in to boot partition and after that you push twrp.img via adb to internal storage and flash it in to erecovery and recovery slot, and you are good to go

Hi I have a problem. I'm having brom issues in trying to flash it

Hi
I thinking you dont have "Authentication file" so you using "mtksecurebootdisabler",
so you need patch your drivers with libusb "patch".
Try this one, for me it works.
So open libusb that you install.
connect your honor7s to the pc with disconnected batery and hold volume down.
in patch option select your usb mtk device "idk how is called" and patch it
after patching reconnect phone and it will works.

and little hint
dont flash whole rom if the phone can boot becasue after clean flash "format+download"
you lost log and cust partition because the image files are not secureboot signed and your phone get in to bootloop
and also you lost imei codes so no cellular after that
If you do so
you can fix it in that recovery were I enabled option to format log partition
after you format log to ext4, your phone will boot but without huawei/honor bootanimation
you dont need to worry about cust partition, if you didnt format it it still boot but without bootanimation and you lost some of garbage apps that are in that partition (amazon etc...)
(twrp boots in russian language, idk for now how to change it to boot in english or slovak lanuage (because Im from slovakia) and also it have Lenovo Logo becasuse I use sources from Lenovo A5 that have same cpu)

I will make in future separated thread for this....

Thanks alot for this.. I don't know maybe I should try the disconnected battery. But from a yt link I saw
The link : Honor 7s Dua-Al000
I wonder how his worked
I'll have to know how to disconnect the battery thou. I'm a noob at this.

Sorry for the noob question but after patching with the battery disconnected. When I want to use spflash tools would I still use disconnect the battery to flash the recovery and co.

you can patch it or flash it without disconecting the battery
Here is how:
turn it off
Push and hold volume down
While holding volume down connect usb cable
But is recomended to disconect battery because the phone can boot up instead to go in flash mode.

Well he did with the battery and he add more steps that are not necessary for flashing, like scanning for COM port etc...
When I first try flash my 7s I download flashtool and didn't change any settings, I just load the rom and flash it.
So you must try to find your best way how to do and I will help you
And I wonder how he can flash the Log and Cust partition via flashtool, Maybe he have unlocked bootloader or something
Update: he have in the video description link for "lib usb" but didn't show it in video, or I'm just blind or something

Yeah. For the flash mode, I wonder why his own he said I need to hold the volume up and down button at the same time. But thanks I'll do it and let you know.

-fixed language form russia to english
-lenovo banner replaced with original TWRP

At this point. Might just abandon it. Thanks for everything. Ran into laptop issue on my third trial lol.

Yeah I see, drivers issues, it happens to me too, but I install windows 7 and everything works... but I think is not worth it to format your laptop and install win7 only for this mediatek crap, where you can't unlock bootloader or anything because Huawei trying to protect customers and they believe that their android is best for they're phones

Honestly. I spend a whole night researching videos for the phone. Only to get that link I send. And after all that. It still didn't work. Lol. I have a Poco x3 pro. I wonder if snapdragon android 12 can be rooted. Probably going to try it next month or so.

Snapdragon is eazy for root.
I have Redmi note 11 and it was easy, now I running on Android 13 from stock android 11, if you will need some help with something, I'm here, and I think there is device forum so there is community for that device

[Q] [Brick] ZTE Open, need low level flash (TPT?) instructions

Hi folks,
unfortunately I somehow bricked my ZTE Open. I flashed cwm (worked fine) but after flashing both system AND userdata via flash_image, the phone won't boot and what is much worse it won't boot into cwm anymore as it hangs there with just showing the logo and the cwm version. The menus are missing, it does not react buttons and does not show up in adb. FTM mode is also non-functional, holding volup gets you also into broken recovery.
For earlier ZTE devices like the ZTE Blade it seems to be possible to low level flash them in diagnostics mode. Diagnostics mode is working fine on the ZTE Open (it shows up with the diagnostics port on USB. Luckily I also have all the 20 partitions backed up, but I don't know how to flash them in this diagnostics mode. I tried putting the files into the root of the SD card and including sha1/256/512 plus md5sum files, but it was not impressed by that. Not sure if this only works in FTM mode, though.
Any help would be highly appreciated! I highly assume that the procedure is the same as for the ZTE Blade.
This may help. http://pof.eslack.org/2013/07/05/zte-open-firefoxos-phone-root-and-first-impressions/
At least there is more going on for Firefox Open over there.
Thanks but as you might have noticed I posted several comments there already, but I thought XDA would be the right place for unbricking devices.

Sorry! Eyes tight shut!
Are there any updates on this one?
I have bricked Open too, I'm attaching the PCB picture, if it is any help to maybe find UART or JTAG pins?
Can someone be really nice and please dump the bootloader from working ZTE Open in send it to me?
I've found some guy, who maybe can help me write bootloder with JTAG.
I think this should work, but no promises: https://sites.google.com/site/zteopenfirmware/download-mode

Thanks for your time to help, but this does not work for me. I get an error, when I press flash button (printscreen under attachments).
I've tried to probe the pins with the multi-meter and found GND and V+ (picture under attachment)
Now it would be nice to have something like this -> http://www.grandideastudio.com/portfolio/jtagulator/

tpt files for the zte open
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rnj3rja7gd54s98/_twgXEkMFH/P752D04_DEV_EU_20131212_v1.2.7z
Thank you for the link. But what tool is supposed to be used to flash the files? And is there a way I can use my backup as well? In this case: how can I transform it to TPT files?
Update: I tried flashing it by following the instructions of the link posted by psywolf, but unfortunately I am getting the same error as aversario. I tried also flashing just recovery, but it seems like no single partition is flashed successfully.
So, I've ordered jtagulator and it showed the pins. Now I need jtag programmer, which one do you guys recommend?
And I am still looking for some great guy to share with me his bootloader of a functional zte open.

Well, I don't know the partition names by heart, but as I remember the bootloader is one of the small partitions (so definitely not system or boot or userdata or recovery).
The way to get that small partitions would be installing CWM recovery first -> http://pof.eslack.org/2013/07/05/zte-open-firefoxos-phone-root-and-first-impressions/
then enter adb shell on computer
su # to get root privileges
then it should be something like explained here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3GOzUURSgM&feature=player_detailpage#t=153
And thank you very much for your time
If i figure out how to do that without CWM i'll upload it for you. Cannot install CWM because i need to be on stock recovery for development of update packages, sorry

OK, I get that. I'm sure there exists a way to do it without changing recovery also. I just can't figure it out because that's the only Firefox OS phone I've had.
try to reinstall
Hi, I bricked my ZTE Open (EU version) too. Had bought it from a German Ebay seller and tried to flash FirefoxOS 2.0 on my device. I don't have the CWM recovery installed, only the "Firefox OS System Recovery" Big mistake, I know . When I switch on the device, the Firefox OS logo appears, then disappeas after a few seconds, and so on, the perfect bootloop
I can't access the device via ADB or fastboot.
When I ty to install any downloaded zip (even from ZTE's homepage) from the SD card, I get following messages:
Code:
--Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifying update package ...
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
So there is no valid signature.
Can you help me please? Thank you!
Heinz
Found a solution by myself!:victory:
I downloaded the update.zip file from firefox.ztems.com (Update package of Android GB for OPEN device) and installed it.
After that I could flash the CWM recovery. It seems to work...

[RECOVERY][TWRP][UPDATE] TWRP 3.3.0 for Maze Alpha 4G (updated)

Hi folks,
Today it's a great day for me : I have successfully patched the kernel to have a 100% working TWRP 3.2.1 for our Maze Alpha 4G.
I have port a Jemmini build for Bluboo S1 and I have patch the kernel to have a working touch panel
I have followed this Thead
For the Maze Alpha 6G version, you can test it and tell me please.
How to flash:
I Fastboot method (must unlock device) :
1- Reboot your phone in bootloader mode : adb reboot bootloader or phone off, press and hold at the same time POWER and Vol+ buttons
2- Connect your phone to your computer with adb/fastboot already installed
3- Unlock your bootloader : fastboot oem unlock (it will erase you data, only data)
4- Flash the recovery : fastboot flash recovery recovery_maze_alpha_4G_twrp-321.img
II SPFlashTool method (no need to unlock device) :
1- Download latest version of SPFlashTools.
2- Execute it and load the provided scatter (the recovery image must be in the same folder as the scatter and must be renamed to recovery.img) then press "Dowbload" button
3a- windows SPFlashTools users : phone off, press VOL+ and connect it to your PC (running SPFlashTool and waiting for phone connetion)
3b- linux SPFlashTools users : phone off and connected to PC , press VOL+ and POWER while your PC is running SPFlashTool (with sudo) and waiting for phone connetion.
Update : you can found here the latest version: TWRP 3.3.0 for MAze Alpha 4Ghttps://github.com/dreambo/android_device_maze_alpha/releases/tag/3.3.0
have a nice day.
Works great on Maze alpha 4G. Thanks.
But I forgot to save original recovery...

Thanks. Can you share stock recovery.img, if you have it? I have recovery-verified.img from V05 but I don't know if there is a new update and if size is correct: 11,54MB. Your TWRP recovery has got a size of 14.24MB...
Can you make a small procedure on how to install it? Will help many nOOb's out.
And people need to report back issues and successes !!!! Again I see many questions and people with issues that we seniors try to help out with that end up in no more response which to me is not done and not helping others.
I have a 6GB version that I could test on but at the moment I am using it for other stuff and I can't risk bricking it this week.
Would finally love to start some stuff happening on this phone.
Ok in the process of doing so on my 6GB/64GB version.
edit : congratz I now have a 'phone' that can only go into TWRP . Should have never ever done this!
Says no OS installed ... really nice
Edit 2: after hours wasted was able to get your zipped rom on the Maze but I got no boot with that TWRP, so flashed recovery-verified.img from the 6GB rom from Alpha I had downloaded ... It would then start up but show 4GB out of 6GB. No good but at least all the rest seemed to work. All other effort to get it going back with the proper kernel etc resulted in frustration.
So now to flash the official rom back via their tool... that one got me really frustrated and was completely my fault that I couldn't figure it out. But you know angry, frustrated, must get it back to work, can do this ... After all these years of toying with phones we are so used to pressing 'power and vol+ or vol-' together to make something work. Now in the end I re-read the manual again and saw that you only have to push vol+ and NOT vol+ and power together or it wont go in the mode it should go to make it flash!!
In case this happens : The best advice I can give to people is to download the proper MTK drivers. Search for vcom drivers for MTK and you will find.
Print out the instructions and mark every step you do to the letter. The flashing itself only takes like 3 or 4 minutes

Haha I did the same exact thing..and managed to get it working after flashing it with the spflash tool but the trick is if you have Windows 10 latest version you won't be able to do this..at least I couldn't because of driver incompatibility so in my case:
1 I installed Windows 7 and installed mtk drivers for spflash tool
2.booted into twrp
2.1 if you can't boot into twrp or it doesn't turn on you can still try this
3.Start sp flash tool and download the zip the one(in case of trouble)that the moderator published
4. Load the scatter file and make sure that all of the files and the scatter are in the same folder.
5.click download and leave it like that
6.plug in your phone in fastboot if you can't try one of the following
6.1 just plug it in turned off and monitor spflash tool status
6.2 plug it in holding volume up key (just volume not power)
6.3 in twrp go to boot and boot into bootloader
And the tool should do the rest
If all else fails check the drivers one more time
After all that if you are feeling adventurous flash twrp one more time and do not factory reset through twrp ! Because that was the problem in my case and after you unlock bootloader boot your phone and go through the setup without setting the password because twrp will be locked.
Good luck.

Wait a sec., missing a couple of things here.
1) Do you have a 6GB ?
2) In case you have a 6GB did you manage to get it working, rooted and all?
Your point 6) well I flashed mine on the latest 64bit win10 ... but.... if the phone is off and you connect the usb cable my phone tried to boot up either in twrp with no com port. Also booting it in bootloader doesn't make the comport visible so you can't flash.
The only way to make mine visible for the flashtool was to press vol+ and then connect the usb cable.
Btw I am glad someone finally responds and spreads information. A very good post! Your first 'thanks' well deserved!
I wonder where the guys are that I was trying to help. Did they throw their phones away or something? Sharing is caring I thought.
I want to root mine to alter the camera settings and the media xml file. I find it strange that our sensor, which is the same as in my wife's Xiaomi's, takes seriously bad pictures.

Sorry forgot to mention I have a 4 GB version but since maze is not providing the roms on their website any further development will be limited..thank God for dreambo he is the only guy doing any work here and like you said nobody is responding to any questions asked..shame really because maze is a great phone with a terrible camera..which drivers did you use on Windows 10? because I tried a hundred of them and non of them recognize my phone..and in adb I can run the command fastboot reboot bootloader but after reboot none of the commands are working .
And yes I did manage to install twrp and root using magisk and I to hope that all those other guys didn't brick their phones

This is the filename I used on Windows 10 VCOM Drivers (All MTK Devices & All Windows OS version).zip I think I downloaded it from XDA somewhere.
Also something you must know https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/ho...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
Another thing I experienced is that one USB connector is not the other one on a pc. Always connect it to the ones directly on the main board next to the other device outputs like audio etc. and preferably not go through ones that have been extended via a cable like the ones on top of the casing or so. Also a must have application is usbdeview.
Well should be easy to get it going if you can boot it into 'fastboot' then you can try as much as you want to. But djeeeeezzzz the letters are very small when you boot it with a power+volume up . Also check that volume up will toggle between 'fastboot', 'recovery' and 'normal start' and volume minus will select it, not the power button which would be more logical to me.
I might have another go at trying to get it working on my 6GB but it involves having a lot of time and knowing that I will get frustrated. Installing all apps and settings is also a time consuming thing. Once you have TWRP on it it all becomes easy to backup. So many things to test or try.
Maybe dreambo has an idea on how to get mine up to a 6GB one as it is probably only indicated in the kernel.
Anyway I will continue to write down my progress.
Ok more frustration. Done multiple things to try to get this running. It's good to know that the original rom is easy to install again after practice.
Take 1: Try to install clean 6GB rom and immediately install TWRP.
Results: Dreambo forgot 1 step and that is to allow OEM unlock in the developer options. If you do the adb command to unlock press volume up and it will unlock (very hard to see, very small letters on the display in bootloader mode)
Well TWRP starts but immediately I get a message 'mount decrypt data password' which I tried a couple of things but no go. Also googled... different solutions but always ending in a bootloop to TWRP
A possible solution that I read was to create a startup pin .... no go 'pin not valid'
Take 2: Take all the rom files and change the scatter file with the one dreambo provided.... Thought it was successful but ended up with the same Chinese recovery. Trying to figure out why since the filename was correct like indicated in the scatter file. Came to the conclusion that the original file was/is called recovery-verified.img and not recovery.img. Really really strange this one as in the original scatter file it also points to recovery.img. So this one I will have to investigate. Renaming the TWRP file to recovery-verified.img lead to a error during the initial scan of the flashtool.
So moral of the story is that I am back on square 1 and lost 2 hours today (plus putting all apps and settings back) today.
I get a bit lost, is this TWRP method only working with the 6GB or also with the 4GB version?

There is no fundamental difference between 6G and 4G version.
It must works in boat versions.
If you have issues with SPFlashTool try this (no need to install any drivers on Windows 10) :
Put the preloader.bin (found in the rom package designed for SPFlashTool) in the same folder as the recovery.img without checking it the list of partitions (only recovery must be checked) and click on Download to flash the recovery, as usual.
Perhaps SPFlashTool cannot read by himself the preloader in the EMMC, and we must provide it.
The linux version of SPFlashTool not works at this moment, I do not know why
With the SPflashtool I always get the error:
ERROR:STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH (0xC0070004)
HINT

Hello
I had the same problem, (error BROM ERROR: STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH)
what I did: I use Windows 7 System
1- clear all drivers for smartphones with "usbdeview-2-17"
2- install Drivers "Drivers_Auto_Installer_v1.1236.00"
3- install "PdaNetA4170"
4- use "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1708_Win" to flash the rom. first flash the preloader alone and then flash the others.
the problem was the bad installation of the drivers, after that everything went well for me.
try it can work for you too.
the mentioned software is easy to find on google

If you have issues with SPFlashTool try this (no need to install any drivers on Windows 10) :
Put the preloader.bin (found in the rom package designed for SPFlashTool) in the same folder as the recovery.img without checking it the list of partitions (only recovery must be checked) and click on Download to flash the recovery, as usual.
Perhaps SPFlashTool cannot read by himself the preloader in the EMMC, and we must provide it.
The linux version of SPFlashTool not works at this moment, I do not know why

If there is no difference between the 4GB and 6GB then why did I literally spend days on trying this and documenting what happened?

Do you have the 2 versions of the phone and do you have notice any difference of the flashing procedure ?

I only have the 6GB version of the Maze Alpha. But you wrote that the procedure should work for both versions. I think I wrote down what happened with mine if I installed TWRP.
I tried both the 'regular' flashing and then the full rom install with the trick to put the files in the directory and rename but both ended up as I've written in my previous post.

From times to times, I notice trouble with flashing using SPFlashTools.
First (when I post my first post relating of the root) I use the linux version : no issues it works perfect, no need of any drivers!
Actually, no way to have it working on linux, why I do not know!
I have tried Windows 10 and I notice that we have to provide the preloader to have it working, as I write in my post.
In theory, and only in theory, the SPFlashTool must works the same manner in any phone with a Mediatek SOC.
But in reality, we have notice that with exactly the same phone the flashing procedure works for some users and not for others!
SPFlashTool is a very capricious software, there is no warranty to have it 100% working in any platform, even with the same OS.

The thing is that I have no issue with flashing the software as I can perfectly flash the original rom. The problem is that when flashing the TWRP file, in both options by the way, so also via method 1, I get a boot loop.

Feedback after unlocking / flashing India ROM on sealed China ROM K20 Pro (8/256)

Hi guys,
Hope it's ok if I start this thread, I just wanted to give new users some feedback before/ after unlocking and flashing an India ROM on my sealed China ROM K20 Pro (8/256). It might be useful to some, or maybe even help others. Thanks a lot to Robbo.5000, Madsponge and Hursty UK (hope I got it right?) among others for their help and advice.
- [BUYING PROCESS] My trip with the K20 Pro started here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...ice-to-buy-t3939616/post79918346#post79918346 (about 18 days to get it from China during high season, not too bad I guess). (FYI, the real Global version will come out in Europe in a few weeks but the 8/256 won't be available here.)
- [UNLOCKING PROCESS] I then started the "infamous" unlocking process which triggered the even more "infamous" unlocking wait time. Why did Xiaomi choose to do that? Pretty strange if you ask me. Why should you wait 5 days or more? Anyways, in my case it was almost 6 days. That part of the process went smoothly (I run a kinda old Windows 7 PC). I rebooted the phone and it was unlocked indeed. Then started the stressful process: flashing a +400 euros phone without knowing if it would actually work. Kinda reminded of the time when we "backuped" PS1 (PSX) games, haha.
- [FLASHING PROCESS] I used the official MiFlash tool, with the official India ROM (fastboot file, .TGZ extension). First problem : MiFlash couldn't install the drivers because a /log/ folder was missing, which I had to create manually (didn't see that mentioned on the forum, but might be my OS? Oh well). The rest was OK until I launched the flashing process and hit the "clean all" button (I carefully didn't choose the clean all and lock which would have bricked the phone).
>> Link to the official India ROM Fastboot .TGZ -> http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.3.0....FKINXM_20190711.0000.00_9.0_in_a1c0a15dec.tgz
>> Link to the official MiFlash tool I used -> https://xiaomiflashtool.com/download/xiaomi-flash-tool-20181115
>> Use the official Xiaomi USB-C cable - do not try another USB cable
>> Important reminder: please change the default option in the flashing tool and DO NOT choose "clean all and lock". Change it to "clean all" only (you don't want to lock it as you might brick it - see posts below about this)
- [STRESSFUL REBOOT] The flashing process ran for about 10 minutes, said "error: Not catch checkpoint (\$fastboot -s .*lock)". Needless to say I was very stressed out at that point, especially with the not cool red message "error" on the right of the tool, in the column "result". I thought the phone was bricked...but no, it just rebooted normally with the India ROM on it. Honestly I don't know what happened, if it was normal or something but I didn't see anyone mentioning this.
Some feedback post flash: everything is fine, the phone seems even faster than on China ROM but it might be just an impression. I do not like the POCO launcher at all, when you're used for 4 years with the classic MIUI launcher it's honestly a pain, I like to see all installed apps on the home and next screens. I had an issue with my Mi Cloud backup (home screen): Mi Cloud said there was no backup even though I did one just before flashing. The rest of the sync process (except home screen - maybe because of POCO launcher?) was fine though: pics, notes, calls, messages, etc. Too bad we're missing NFC but it feels good to be back on "Global" (was coming from a Mi 8 Global phone). Oh yeah, missing the multiple shots option from the China ROM (where you can choose the "best" shot), but it will come to Global one day I guess.
- [MI CLOUD BACKUPS] I can confirm the Mi Cloud home screen backup issue described above is indeed because of the POCO launcher: my previous backups didn't have it (Mi 8 Global, K20 Pro China) and so Mi Cloud couldn't restore from those backups. I now have a POCO launcher backup (daily in Mi Cloud) and I can restore from those. So keep that in mind: if you come from non POCO you won't be able to restore home screen, but same thing if you move from POCO to a non POCO launcher. If you're not familiar with those backups, it's very practical (usually...) when you change phone because you just have to restore it and you'll have all your icons, apps and stuff like before.
[UPDATE] As you might know, a European Global version will be released in a few weeks, let's see if it has the POCO launcher or not.
Thanks again all for the help and let me know if you have more feedback.
Thank you for posting this - i am trying to get thru the steps too.
I too had Miflash tell me a file/folder was missing - after i created the /log folder it got past and said install was done (in chinese) and that log folder now has a txt matching what the window was searching for.
I tried pointing MiFlash to the folder with the ROM with a TGZ extension but it said 'couldn't find flash script'. After some reading apparently we have to extract it ? i did that ang got TAR - MiFlash still did not recognise and still gave me the same error message.
Any ideas?
Also, does it matter if Windows recognise the phone as a Phone? What's the USB connection type you set?

You need to fully unpack the ROM. It requires unzipping twice. You now need to extract everything from the tar file. After extracting the tar file you should have a folder with all the ROM image files and some .bat files. Point the Mi Flash Tool to this folder.
The phone needs to be booted into fastboot mode. The PC should recognise the phone automatically if it has all the correct drivers installed.
ive been using the indian rom for like 2-3 weeks now, my question is, does it support auto updater trough the updater? or we need to install back trough the mi flash tool
i failed multiple times to flash the global india rom before(using winzip to extract). and I tried again extract the files using winrar and it succeed. i'ved been using it almost 2 weeks now. the issue that i am facing is i cant use earphone mic on discord and whatsapp call. the rest is fine. for the updates, i get it from system app updater in settings.
OK - Managed to get the image folder recognised - the file path was too long - so i renamed it and moved it closer to where the miflash .exe was.
Now MiFlash is not detecting my device - when plugging in phone windows comes up with a 'USB device not recognised' message as well.
In Device Manager it says Unknown USB device (Invalid Configuration Descriptor) - I looked for Xiaomi usb drivers but Windows say i already have the best driver installed...
Any ideas?

I forgot to mention it, yes you do have to extract it (using WinRAR or similar) until you get an actual folder like Robbo.5000 said. I then renamed the rom's parent folder as "raphaelin" because another user mentioned we could have issues if the folder's name was too long.
About the USB connection i didnt change anything, i left it by default.

I'm guessing your phone is already in fastboot mode (with the little Mi cartoon guy)?
I installed ADB minimal, the MiFlash drivers but also ADB Lite drivers (mentioned in the big Madsponge thread where you can find the links). That might help.
In MiFlash when i hit Refresh it saw the phone as some ID like 1d23456 or something.
Just installed Qualcomm drivers - didn't help either...
set USB debugg mode - what was the USB connection type? if you remember - thanks in advance

I dont think there is an update since 10.3.3.0 but i guess we'll find out with the next OTA update. I read somewhere an automatic update might lock the phone back (and brick it) so i disabled them for now, until we know more...
Of course Chinese OTA was fine on the China ROM.

In fastboot mode you cant change it on the phone if i remember, and its set automatically in file transfer mode i think.
Yes I installed those drivers too. I might try a different laptop and usb cable tonight.
Thank you so far for your help.
FYI i used the USB cable shipped with the phone. As for the laptop, is its OS up to date? I installed the latest Windows update before the flashing process.
Hope its gonna work!

I own the Indian variant, stock rom, bootloader unlocked and rooted. Widevine L1 is still present.
So, I am curious. When you flashed the Indian ROM, did your Widevine level changed from L3 to L1?
If you didn't check, if you don't mind, please install "DRM Info" from playstore and let me know!
I am trying to find whether the Widevine is implemented based on Stock ROM level or its just at device variant level. Thanks in advance!

I just checked and it says I have L3. Honestly I don't really see a difference (if it's about Netflix HD or not), Netflix videos are still great quality.

Thanks mate. Just one more thing. Could you play "Test Patterns" - S1:E1 video, zoomed out for 2 mins, in Netflix app?
It will initially show "960x540" (right top corner of the screen in zoomed out mode), but after 2 mins, does it change to "1280x720" or still stays at "960x540"??
Again, thanks in advance!
Ok it was the USB cable - device was detected on original USB cable.
Flashed - BUT i made a mistake and had it default to Clean all and Lock !!! ugh...
Flash went thru - but now i am in some thing called Redmi-Recovery 3.0. Red message say "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device."
I can still get into Fastboot and MiFlash can still detect the device - Upon trying to reflash again MiFlash gives error 'Erase Boot Error'
So i think i am F-ed....
Any advice, anyone?
I think its only "soft bricked". Another user had a similar issue and created a thread below. Experts here will be able to help you for sure. If its locked i believe you have to reinstall the China stock ROM.
About Netflix it stays on 960, so no HD i guess...

Just download the china latest stock rom or china latest dev rom (recovery rom will be enough), no need of mi flash.
Then go to this link and follow the instructions. Since you can access the recovery, you are fine mate.
PS: Use the latest official Mi Assistant app from the MIUI site, not the one given in the link above. But the steps are the same.
Thanks guys I will try. Really worried that phone doesn’t shut down it keeps going into recovery (doesn’t power off) and charging doesn’t seem to work in all these conditions.
Will work quickly

Err...not detecting my phone so the PC Suite can't find the device

[Solved] Hard brick after flashing Magisk's patched boot.img. Unbrick with SP Flashtool possible?

Update 2021.01.24: I consider the problem mentioned here as solved, since it can be resolved with MTK Bypass explained in the Guides Section. BE CAREFUL however to ONLY choose "Download Only" from the dropdown box in SP Flashtool! DO NOT select anything with "Format" in it, else you will lose S/N, MACs and IMEIs!
--- Original post ---
Hi, I have hard-bricked my new Realme 6 while trying to root it with Magisk. At the moment I am stuck in a bootloop at the power-on logo (realme in white letters). The boot animation (yellow realme letters) does not appear, instead the phone reboots after ~35 seconds. The bootloader says "Orange State".
I can NOT enter fastboot nor recovery mode by any key combination. Holding Power and Vol- makes the string RECOVERY MODE appear for a split second in the lower left part of the screen, however nothing happens afterwards.
I can power down by holding Power and Vol+ an releasing them immediately after the screen goes blank.
Holding Vol- and Vol+ while the phone is off and connecting USB makes a USB serial device appear on a windows machine for about 1-2 seconds before it disappears again.
I am very thankful for any hints on how to unbrick the device.
Here's what I have done in detail to mess up the phone:
1. OTA-Update to the latest OS in my region (EU11.A.48)
2. Unlocked the bootloader with the realme In-depth Test app (everything fine so far)
3. Download stock firmware RMX2001EU_11.A.48 ozip from realmeupdater.com
4. Unzipped with gnu unzip (content was readable, no extra decrytion tool for the ozip needed?) and extracted boot.img
5. Installed Magisk Manager and uploaded boot.img to the phone
6. Patched boot.img with Magisk Manager (and if I remeber correctly DIDN'T UNCHECK Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity)
7. Certainly FORGOT to do anything with vbmeta.img
8. Did NOT erase cache and userdata
9. Flashed patched boot.img directly and WITHOUT --disable-verity or --disable-verification
10. Rebooted the phone.
Am I correct that my problem is the AVB/dm-verity part?
Why does the modified boot.img affect the recovery (I thought they were seperate)
Can I try something with SP Flashtool?
I do have a second intact device that I didn't dare to touch yet, if that helps resolving the issue (e.g. for SP Flashtool readbacks).
As said any advice is highly welcome. Please ask I you need any more information to help.
I did that too... Magisk patched boot .img process of rooting is the risky process , I bricked my device, got it into red state.. tried thick and thin to revive using various flash tools, unable to do it, finally went to a shop , got it fixed, go-to a good repair shop, if you go to the service center, they will say replace motherboard for 5 k , I hope it helps, do traditional unlock bootloader TWRP recovery then flashing Magisk zip method for rooting process.
Thank you for sharing! But doesn't red state mean locked BL plus non-stock firmware? I wish I could find any repair shop during this Corona lockdown... May I ask how much they charged you for having the phone reflashed?

Yes, you are right , red state means that, I guess bcoz, I may have formatted it and ran again unlocked bootloader but it showed unlocking failed, but I thought that I had previously unlocked it so it should be unlocked but I forgot to do that app thing process of deep test again, and I was on Android 10 latest and patched boot img of previous version using magisk, now I understand what mistake I made, I should have used boot IMG of current version of a 10 , but still I am afraid of doing this magisk method of rooting by patching boot IMG bcoz repair cost me 800/- , and I found out on YT that the latest version of a 10 of my device doesn't readily allows twrp and flashing zip of magisk.... Plus there are half baked info on important things, this is new device for me, I have had rooted Samsung and Lenovo, but rooting this is kind of tricky, bcoz it's still new, I think.... Want to try .... But I m afraid.... Tried fastboot method of TWRP flashing but can't replace stock room, so I guess I can't root .....
Well, there is a tutorial on how to root here on XDA, and seems to be confirmed working. I just didn't know about the vbmeta part from earlier Android versions. Haven't you tried that?

Hello, please check my reply to your reply on my thread. BROM mode is as known as "Emergency Mode" and should not be inaccessible. I will once again request you to try different key combinations and also if it's detecting as fastboot, ADB or Fastboot commands should be available. Please try typing adb reboot or fastboot reboot with minimal ADB and fastboot tools and let me know. If you want to personally message me, message my telegram. I will try helping you there.

[SOLVED] Help on Redmi 6A (Cactus) Hard Bricked

Hi, I'm new to the forums.
Back to July 2020, I tried to install custom ROM for my Redmi Cactus and it has no problem until I wipe the data from TWRP and install the custom ROM but failed, I couldn't remember why. And now the phone is dead, it won't boot, no vibration what so ever, when I charge it the LED turns on but when I plug it to PC it won't detect the phone, no sound and nothing in Device Manager even though I have the MTK driver installed on my PC. I've read this thread and couldn't understand the first step as it says "Open REV4 Bypass tool, off your phone. Click BYPASS Connect phone to PC and Turn ON your phone." but I can't turn on my phone. Also on Step 2 which is the SP Flash Tool thing, it says "Open SPFLASHTOOL choose in Download-Agent No_Auth.bin" but on my SP Flash Tool archive I can't find No_Auth.bin, is it somewhere from third-party or from the firmware itself? Currently I'm downloading the firmware and will try to flash it using SP Flash Tool to see if it works. Any help with this?
Best Regards,
Rev.

Follow this https://www.droidwin.com/unbrick-realme-6-6i-6s-sp-flash-tool/, of course, skip to download and flash the files that are for the other model, instead, replace from your phone's files.
The whole idea, is that you have to install the LibUSB drivers, so your device get recognized and can bypass the DA/SLAA restrictions for BROM mode, in MediaTek devices. When you can bypass it, then you can flash the proper firmware for your device, you don't need to power on your device for that, as your device is bricked...
Hi, sorry it took me so long to reply, the phone is finally fixed thanks to your guide! How can I make this thread or your post as a solution?
