Hello, I have problems with a u20i x10 mini pro.
I tried resetting with pccompanion, as well as flashing stock firmware (no error in flashtool log), but phone enters a sort of bootloop, without even arriving to SE logo. Only, display gets light, but nothing is displayed. Phone sometimes vibrates, when power button is pressed. No led light seen.
This is s1tool output:

Is it possible to judge the state of the system from this log? Is it hard bricked, soft bricked or suffers some hardware damage?
Thanks

It's not hardbricked, in a hardbrick you don't get any responses from the phone. I think maybe your flex is broken, that's the ribbon cable that connects the screen to the rest of the phone. Other than that, i wouldn't know why it's not working properly.

Thanks mate, then I'm opening it tomorrow (I just don't have any tools with me right now).
Just another couple of questions before opening:
1) I would have expected the phone to turn on and without the display (and hence, be available via usb), instead of continuosly rebooting. Am I wrong?
2) does the ribbon cable brake, or sometimes just detach from the board?
thanks again (for the info as well as for the prompt answer)

Well... as for nr.1, you do get a response from your phone in S1Tool, so that is ok, and if it was booted you would have to turn on usb-connection from the status-bar in order for it to connect as mass storage The screen not working prevents you from doing that. On the other hand, the drivers for the screen and the digitizer may give a fatal sort of error because they can't connect, resulting in the kernel stopping the boot. Both are sort of guesses on my part but may explain your problem.
As for nr. 2, It usually breaks It's the most common hardware failure on the U20.

I see... and, please correct me if I am wrong, a broken flex cable could explain the led off while charging and while flashing, right? but, isn't also the "back" key connected through the flex, in the end? just for my information, I don't mean to test your knowledge
another couple of questions:
3) do I need to disassmble both the lower (the one of the battery) and the upper (the "display" one ) parts, to check the flex, or can I just concentrate on the upper one?
4) I suppose there is no way to repair the flex, if is is broken....
thanks for the valuable information!

Yes, it would mean the led wouldn't get any power, but the flex is a parallel cable, with lots of wires connecting various parts, they may not all be broken, so you might still be able to use the keys, or with some people, half the screen sometimes.
As for the disassembly, there are tutorials and videos you can follow, just search them on google. And a new flex-cable is quite inexpensive, a few quid should buy you one.

... it is definitely the ribbon. Half cut.
I'm considering buying a new one... but, before, another couple of questions
is the flex glued onto the metal plate? Do I have to destroy the old one? (and that would explain why all the video guides end without "disassembling" the flex do I need any special tool to attach the new one (assuming that I am really going to do the job )?
thanks!

Alright, I made it
I received the new ribbon and put it in operation
Actually, I need a couple of further suggestions:
1) how do I fix the ribbon in the right position? Do I need to glue it? When I open the keyboard, I have the feeling that it always "crashes" against the ribbon...
2) How do I solve the sim-lock?

I don't know if you need to glue it, maybe you could even use some tape to stick it, roughly in the same place where the old one was attached, if that was attached at all.
Secondly: What about the sim-lock? Do you mean it's locked to one particular provider, without accepting other sim-cards? Or do you mean the code you have to fill in before the phone is booted up?

Right... that is a sim-lock... either use a sim-card from the provider the phone is locked to, or ask that provider for an emma/imei code in order to unlock it. This is usually free after the initial contract period. The only other way is to use a paid service to unlock it.

Verdammt, ok... Point is, I got the phone in a "flohmarkt", so I have really no idea of the provider.
Cheeky question: are the ones you mentioned the only possible solutions, or is it possible that there is some "grey zone" way to do the job, described around the internet, which I shall look for by myself?

It can be done over the internet, but everyone who offers that service will demand money for it. The only really free way ( and the safest way if you want to unlock the bootloader and play with custom kernels and roms ) is the code from the provider. There isn't some sort of logo or sticker inside that will identify the provider? Come to think of it, there should be a model-sticker inside with an SI number on it in the format of: 1238-2562 (that's my number, SE original Customised UK black ) One of those two numbers is usually a provider-code you can look up on the internet. I wish you good luck
(And flohmarkt is german for flee-market (usually american english), or car-bootsale (more commonly used in the UK)

Well mate, again many thanks for all the pieces of valuable informations you provided... just found that my SI is 1238-8583, which is (googling not too far away from here ) Mobilkom A1 AT/Black. I am going to visit them ...
(ah, yeah, sure flohmarkt is german... I did not mean to hurt anybody with the germanism, I just thought it was used abroad too, like e.g. "doppelgaenger". Btw I am not german mother language )

unbelievable... Here in Austria A1 demands 50 euros for unlocking a 2 years old mobile (with receipt), or 150 euros without receipt (indipendently from the age). this is unreasonable. Is this legal? Has anybody suggestions? Thanks

I have no idea if that is legal, but since the Austrian government isn't reprimanding them I guess they are within the legal limits of doing so. The 'normal' thing to do though, is to do it for free after the initial contract period is over, since the phone is paid off by then, and there's really no need to keep it tied to your own network.
I can somewhat understand the difference between the receipt and non-receipt prices, they don't want to make it worth while for stolen phones to be used any longer. (Not that i'm saying your phone is stolen, but they can't know without the receipt).
I suggested doing it through them because it is usually free, but since you'll have to pay for it, You could try something like Omnius. They are a paid service, but they should be cheaper than the provider in this case.

Not to the phone-makers, a nice present to themselves, making money of a phone that's already paid for, and the only thing they have to do in return is e-mail a code they've got stored in a database.
They are hoping you'll go for a new phone (and contract) which would make a nice present for them AND a phone-maker It's win-win for them, apart from the fact that you're now pissed off and will never go for them as a provider in your life

very bad news from my small mobile phone
I had always had the feeling that I assemblied quite fast and not really well, so I decided to open it again and fix the ribbon with some glue... long story short, it does not work at all! No reaction at power on button, no reaction on linux (lsusb used to show a device, when the ribbon was broken), no reaction from s1tool... I fear I really broke something, this time... do you still have some suggestion for this case of "no response at all"? I actually don't think I ruined the ribbon with the glue (which was my first guess), but I don't know what to consider now...

I am purchasing an hd2 that has a non-responsive touch screen (not cracked/broken) from someone off of craigslist. I'm willing to take a chance and hope i'm lucky enough that it's not a complete hardware issue 'cause I obviously won't have any warranty.
My question(s) are:
Can you navigate through the phone and within the apps itself using only the physical buttons?
If I try to replace a digitizer with the ones on ebay for 30-40, do these need soldering? Has anyone had any success trying these? I'm aware that may not completely resolve the issue.
Will t-mobile (my carrier) provide me with an unlock code?
If I flash it with android do all the features of the phone work? WiFi, sound, camera, etc?

As Samsamuel said no there is no navigation buttons on the HD2, you have to use the touch screen.

I have not checked out the digitizers you refered to on Ebay but I would suggest you buy a LCD digitizer assembly already together tbat requires no soldering. This will allow one much easier instalation and replace both major parts that have to work to solve your problem. So you should be assured you will fix the problem.

i find this kind of odd. most electronics used to be configured where if you couldn't access the primary input there was always a secondary option...kind of like how if your mouse wasnt working, you can still do everything with a keyboard. granted, this isn't in the same category but engineering has definitely fallen off in the way of profits as opposed to proper functionality these days.
i came across this piece of software called 'mymobilizer' which lets you control and see the device and its screen from a computer. i installed but i can't connect because it requires an authentication on the device (press ok to allow or cancel to deny) and i was hoping the home, windows, or call key would act as an enter but unfortunately no. that would have at least given me some kind of flexibility to at least play around with it in it's current state and i was so close yet so far...
are there any other softwares just like this?

^ here's an example of what i'm referring to.
i dont think (or hope) that it needs a new lens since it looks to be in good shape and the t-mobile US HD2s digitizers don't require soldering from what i've been reading so is it a matter of simply unplugging it from the ribbon or what have you and inserting/plugging the replacement back in?
are there any good guides that focus just on the screen/digitizer disassembly and replacement? I saw that one video on youtube but it's not really a great step by step tutorial.

i currently only have a 1gb sd card on me, is it possible to install android from a card with that little capacity? i was reading one where the minimum requirement was 4gb.
If you buy the one on craiglist I wouldn't worry about SD card size as with a dead screen you won't be doing much with it except for use as door wedge perhaps.
dead screens are normally a hardware issue stripping the HD2 is not the simplest plus eBay screen parts are cheap poor quality junk.
If buyining a used HD2 you need to buy a good one & preferably a revision moel with the yellow reset button.

Yeah I agree have traded functionality for profits to a certain extent. And I agree not having any kind of control with any external buttons is a drag, bit it is a all touch screen device.The link you posted shows a LCD and digitizer wich is what I was talking about and yes this kind is the solderless kind that just plugs into the mainboard. I personally have not done it but I have read about people that have and watch a video or two.
As far as a spacific video to watch I really don't have one to suggest but seach YouTube really good you should find something that will help you out.
Now on the SD card I would get atleast a 2GB to 4GB.
The link is just the digitizer.
Hi All
I tried to find the answer, in vain.
For the last few weeks the volume of the right channel has nearly disappeared. I have 95% on the left and 5% on the right.
I use the original software in it.
I was looking for a balance button but can't see any.
The warranty run out two weeks ago.
Any thing I could do to restore its volume.
I tried different headphones, no changes.
Thanks

Replace jack; fairly sure there's a detailed run through (with pics/parts needed) in the service manuals for the phone which have been posted here in the past (do an XDA or Google search). Or pay a local mobile repair shop to do it if you're not confident enough.

Is it an expensive task to do? I don't see myself doing it nor have the tools for the job.
Don't know/don't know exactly what parts are required (but remember seeing the run through in the manuals). It's fairly obvious it's a hardware issue, and as it's happening with headphone/headset, logic says you replace the jack first. Obviously if you're paying someone else to do that, it becomes expensive due to the cost of labour.

Hi
So my ultra was on 40% when i took it off the wireless charger(magnets) and turned it off for the night. when i tried to turn it on it simply didnt do anything. tried the power + vol+ combination but vibrates a few times and thats it. tried to charge it but it shows the red led for a bit then blinks a few times and thats it. no matter what i try to do with it it simply doesnt want to turn on at all......
Pls help to figure it out if there is any hidden secret trick to make it run again....i can even put it on ebay since my data is on it :/

Does it get recognized by your pc in fastest mode or flashmode? If not then according to what I've been reading about other xperia devices it's time you send it in to the service center.They've termed it the LED light of death.

Next time ask it simply : did work without any issues before ? are you new to this smartphone stuff ? right away you can determine if you talk to a blond or an older person who is into changing the roms on 99% of his/her phones like clothes. This is the 2nd phone I never touched or rooted as I didn’t need to.
So to finish this off topic thanks for your reply !
And bushako :
Thanks will have a talk with sony tomorrow morning. Im even ok to sell it as for parts on ebay but if someone can retrieve it my data is still on it in offline mode till he/she connects to the net with it :/
What is wrong with you?

Hi,
I have the same issue with my Z Ultra c6833, just the red led light when connected to the charger and pc. I dont get any responses to the buttons or any vibration when pressed. Before it died, It still powered on showing me the time and how much battery it has, around 92%. So decided to connect my magnetic charging cable to charge and waiting for the green led light meaning it's charging, but never got the green light and the Ultra never powered up again. Its on the official kitkat rom, not rooted and not a scratch, well babied. Tried charging it over night and the whole day, still just the red led light I get and computer doesn't even recognize it when it's plugged in.
Can I send it for warranty here in canada even though it's the c6833 model? Or can I send it to any service center to have it fix? And how much do you guyz think it will cause me to have it fix?
Thanks in advance for future replies.

EDIT: Information given to me below by the online Sony Rep was incorrect. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56814703&postcount=17 for correct info.
Just talked to a Sony rep as I'm interested in buying this phone from the US and wanted to know about warranty etc. Your covered by 1 year manufacturer's but you have to send it to the centre with country of origin. I'm not sure if that means the country you bought it from (which was what I was asking because I wanted to buy it from the States) or the intended region of the phone. If your phone is under warranty (i.e. within a year of purchase) you should be able to get it fixed but you will have to mail it out of the country. If out of warranty I'm not sure -- may be able to get it fixed here.

1st when you cant see someone (personal conversations versus typing)and the first ish help is if i used the charger the right way anyone would go nuts....In the first post i detailed as much as possible to make sure i wont get the "common" resolution options hence they were all tried and failed.
2nd yes it is great but that means he can read too just like you if you read it from the beginning. I would of been lucky if i get the right attitude from the other end too.
3rd i didnt say anyone owe me help. i searched,read,and asked when all failed. in my spare time i run non-profit help and information sites +teaching beginners for free so don't need lessons how to use my spare time. People like you who doesnt read ruin communities to be fair. Read first ask 2nd is what i do and did in the past almost 20 years since i had my 386. so go and read it again and troll somewhere else with you logic.
Thx

Hi
I been to about 50 shops nobody were able to fix it nore there was any solution online anywhere The best you can try is to sell it on eBay they will bid it over £100 easily if your screen is in mint condition.

Just to follow up. I bought a device on ebay that stated the location as Memphis. The fedex shipment is actually coming from Singapore.
I chatted with an online rep and further called Sony Canada and they both confirmed that a device under 1 year manufacturer's warranty CAN be given to a Sony Canada Service Centre. The only caveat is that they cannot give a turnaround time (it's usually 2 weeks or something) as they say they may need to get parts from abroad.
I'm not sure how much that would apply for a C6833 as it's more or less the same as the C6806.
But there you have it.
Thanks for the reply Unidentifier
When I called Sony Canada on Nov 9th, they verified my c6833 still under warranty by checking the IMEI number. They emailed me the RMA number and shipping label for Purolator ( Shipping out and back is free, so I didn't spend a penny ) Service Center here in my area in Toronto is in Mississauga.
The rep told me that it will take a little longer than the standard 2 weeks to get it back because the device is an Asian/European version, because there's chances they might order the parts from it's place of origin.
But to my surprise, after they received my c6833 on Nov 12th I got a notice form Purolator last Nov 18th that my device came back from the service center already. So picked it up at the depot, at first I was so worried because I'm thinking maybe they didn't fix it cause it came back to quickly. After inspecting the device and the documents that came back with it, found out that they replaced it with a new Bell c6806 on Kitkat v. 14.4.a.0.108 but unlock, it works with Koodo and Rogers sim.
So all is well now, just not sure if I lost something because they gave me a c6806 instead of my previous c6833.
My only question now is how to prevent this from happening again? My feeling is that the magnetic charging cable is the reason why my device died, maybe that's the reason why Sony never made an official magnetic charging cable. Because there's always high chances you'll attach it in the wrong way. Unlike with the charging dock, it won't go in and connect itself unless it's putted in the right way.
Overall warranty experience with Sony is awesome! ?

About the question : sent the unit to Sony and they asked for £12 to find out it is dead. When i received it back went to another mobile repair shop just incase and they shown me that whatever they did they actually fried the mobo and cracked it too in the "diagnostics" process. So i took the screen out and sold it on eBay to get back at least some money after all the months of searching reading arguing waitingFORsony etc.
Hi,
I just purchased a Kenxinda Three Proofings W9 (also known, in Malaysia I think, as the Kenxinda Flattop W9).
It is a 6" ruggedised smartphone that cost approx $350 Australian Dollars, (or a bit over $300USD.)
The phone seems excellent, except that it contains some malware from the factory.
Lookout finds:
HTMLViewer - App Dropper.Android.shedun-main.ad
Kaspersky finds:
not-a-virus:HEUR:AdWare.AndroidOS.Xynyin.I - SystemFQAD kenxinda.apk
Malwarebytes finds:
Android/Trojan.Sivu.c - /system/priv-app/HTMLViewer/HTMLViewer.apk
The shop I purchased it from are happy to refund me, which I will do if I cannot get a resolution.
Kenxinda don't seem to want to help me.
I have tried various apps to try and root the phone, (using a dummy google account on a freshly reset phone, so as not to risk my personal data) such as Kingroot, Kingoroot, One Click Root 2 and Towelroot.
I know nothing else about android rooting/hacking, but I do know the basics of linux.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might be able to fix this, (with minimal risk of bricking the phone) or should I just send the phone back for a refund?
Thanks
EDIT: Never mind, I sent the phone back for a refund today.
I have bought W9 two days ago, checked with Kaspersky and found nothing suspicious.
I have no /system/priv-app/HTMLViewer/HTMLViewer.apk and /system/priv-app/HTMLViewer
But I bought on AliExpress, and maybe you should better to change smartphone.
BTW I have no idea how to root it too. But I used to do it to get line call record, but W9 can do it with no root, I'm happy now! )))

KingRoot is generally the best for this type of phone. It is best to use the PC version available at XDA here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461, and at the web home site: https://kingroot.net/
You can remove KR after rooting and install SU if you wish (I do this).
Generally I root to remove the bloatware, trial apps and non root system apps. I then add in my paid apps for the system, such as the JRummy Root Browser and Call Blocker, then make them system apps.
What is the list of bloatware and trial apps included with the phone?
Can you test the capacity of the battery and confirm the claim of 4000mAh capacity?
What functions does the Notification LED support?
I'm considering this or the W8 as a purchase....:fingers-crossed:

What a shame, I did some investigating on this ADWARE and it is not that difficult to to remove. This was good information for me should I purchase a phone and this apk installer is loaded into the OS.
Actually, my 1st red flag would be a new phone purchase that is pre-rooted, this would be alarming to me as someone messed with the OS. The good thing is, you can do a factory reset in most case's and the offending apk will be deleted. You will also loose root, you have to reinstall SU.
In some case's the offending apk can just be deleted without a system reset, its the more involved, rooted and moved to system apk that is the problem.
Read about this BS app installer installed by Chinese RESELLERS, not the actual manufactures.
http://edtblah.ddns.net/index.php/2016/04/21/how-to-get-rid-of-systemfqad-malware/
1. Kaspersky found only one AdWare, DrWeb and other foun nothng.
2. Seems to me it is really 3500-4000, because I have 30% battery after one day, Its good for 6'
3. Only for charging status and new messages.
But, I have serious issue with GPS, I have very weak GPS signal level. In comparison with Samsung S4 (10-12 satellites with 20-30 lvl) W9 have only 3-4 satellites with 15-20 lvl. Therefore I can’t use navigations programs, I got always “GPS Searching”. I have disassembled phone, and seems to me GPS antenna is a piece of siht.

I am pretty sure the phone wasnt rooted when I received it, several apps told me it wasnt, and I tried deleting some apps through the menu, and couldnt (but I never tried using a terminal). Of course, that doesnt mean the phone wasn't rooted at some point during the supply chain after it left the factory.
I tried a factory reset and these apk's remained installed and the AV programs still detected them.
To be honest, after "AlexDem"'s report of not having the malware, I am half-tempted to try ordering another one from somewhere else. I liked the phone otherwise. However the GPS issues are concerning - i dont remember testing the GPS. However my discussions with the Kenxinda sales rep were not all that encouraging, he seemed to admit the malware was there, but dismissed it as being a minor problem. But maybe that was just his limited english wording it wrong, he may not have meant that their actually is factory installed malware.

Somebody opened up the OEM rom, installed the apk, flashed it to the phone. This is why it was persistent when resetting to factory.
This may be why you had the problem with removing it.
This or the W8 will be my next purchase.
I just had delivery of the vPhone X3, it came with 2 bad IMEI's. They are 356666666666666\8 ... This is invalid as an IMEI here in Canada.
Also, at http://www.protectyourdata.ca/en/check-the-status-of-your-device-in-canada/ they both come up as "Your Device has been Reported As Lost Or Stolen'. Consequently the phone cannot be operated here in Canada by any of the networks.
These generic IMEI's supplied are generally used when a good IMEI is removed for a stolen phone and the generic one is installed as the swap-out replacement.
It has a 3200mAh battery, not the 4500mAh as advertised.
It uses 10mm mUSB rather than the regular 6mm.
It uses 19mm earphone plugs not the regular 14mm.
None of my headphones or USB cables will work with the phone.
Did you have any of the the USB or earphone issues with the W9?
Im pretty sure it was standard USB, however, the rubber casing did prevent one of my usb cables from plugging into it. Another of mine fitted fine.
Never tried the headphone jack. I sent the phone back.
I contacted another shop, China Vision, with the intention of maybe purchasing one, and they very nicely told me the following, after a few emails back and forward: "They are from the same supplier and I think it may have this malware issue" - This, combined with what the Kenxinda sales rep said, I wouldnt touch the phone.

GPS antenna's can be made from fine wires that are twisted and glued into place.
http://nikospavlakisphotography.blogspot.ca/2016/01/thl-5000-and-gps.html
An antenna mod may also be a copper sticky larger than the original that would accomplish the same thing as the wire mod.
This isn't really isn't a difficult mod as it appears you have lots of room to work with.
There is also a software fix, you need to dump the GPS cache and reload the GPS data, specifically for your location, then it should work better.
I would try the software fix 1st before the hardware mod.
Please answer me this, what length is the headphone plug, the standard 15mm or the longer 19mm?

I've been doing malware and virus removal for over 10 years with Windows and Android (Linux) now.
Of the 2 systems, android is the easiest to clean and repair as its a socially engineered application. Rarely is it factory installed and even so if it is, once rooted you can, once again, easily delete the offending app.
If the offending app is installed with the recovery, you must flash a cleaned ROM to the phone so wen you do a Factory Reset, the offending app doesn't show up again.
Easy Peasy ....

Easy except I have no way of obtaining a clean rom. Kenxinda wouldnt give me one.

OK, so you have to do this from scratch.
Once discovering the location of the of the offending app ( generally: system>app or system>priv-app) you make note of it.
You would have to do a back up of the ROM with the NVRAM, open up the ROM, remove the offending app, zip it up then flash it over the sh##ty ROM.
A little bit longer but not more complicated, just 2 more steps to learn.

15 mm, see photo, but I use Samsung headphone, because sound is better.
BTW, You should use Headphone with jack diameter less than 6 mm, because jack must fit with hole in smartphone. You can't use headphones with L-type jack.
Guys, I have firmware from Ginzzu RS97D, this is another name of Kenxinda W9 on Russian market. Ginzzu support told, than there is new firmware.
Maybe this is new android (6.0 - who knows?) with no malware and GPS fix, I really don't know. I can't update it right now, and next week too. If you have curiosity, try to do it at you own risk.

Just a rebranding of the same garbage?
This way Kenxinda can distance themselves from the malware issue and claim that the rebrander did this.
Spend a bit more and get a Xperia or Samsung, even a Cat C60. Then you wont have to cry later on. Also, buy from a proper inhouse reseller, not eBay or AliExpress that hosts resellers.
If you cant find the ROM at ReedRom or the manufacturer wont provide it, then don't buy it, as there is no way to reflash the stock ROM should you need it.
Not releasing/providing your ROM is highly suspicious.
They seem to be going under a few names, there is an identical (I think) product called the MFox A10 Pro, which is quite a bit dearer. https://www.chinavasion.com/china/w...es/MFOX-A10-Pro-Military-Standard-Smartphone/

I wont buy a phone that the ROM is not available. Under the Linux Open Source Licensing and the Google Licensing Agreements, you have to publish the ROM.
Any company that doesn't do this is hiding something from the pubic, such as pirated or unlicensed software included or, in this case, malware in the ROM.
RUN! ... DON"T WALK, in the other direction..........
I have tried to download ginzzu rs97d firmware to Kenxinda W9, everything is Ok, GPS fixed and touchscreen works better.

Kenxinda Malaysia has promised to send me a link when they receive it from the manufacturer.........Hmmmmm, 4 days ago.
***EDIT***
Kenxinda does not manufacture the phone, they had to request the ROM and wait for it from the manufacturer. Then they sent me a link for it, the link was only valid to December 5th, the W8's ROM is posted at NeedRom with the W9 ROM from GiNZZU.
I suspect this is a rebranding of the GiNZZU line of phones from the Russian Federation. This GiNZZU line has a really well developed service outlet chain, over 20 locations. Kenxinda on the other hand ... ? ... I haven't found one to date! Kenxinda kept repeating themselves...'Send it back to the supplier for service', which is impossible because I'm in Canada and most resellers are in China, do the shipping math, its cheaper to buy a new phone. Regardless, Kenxinda doesn't have service centers, they have resellers.
I am planing to get the GiNZZU RS97D / Kenxinda W9 but i need root, maybe someone can test if you can root it with this

and just in case the link to needrom

I did this by the help of Ministry of Solutions. He charged me 35$ and had a lot of struggle unlocking it but after two days it finally worked. I have some struggle with my TWRP and encryption now but this might have a different reason. I had to open the back cover and connecting two point to perform test point mode several times.
That sounds very interesting... Any more infos available or a link? thx in advanced
Yes, Ministry of Solutions, $35, gets the :good: from me. Took less than 2hrs. - need TeamViewer connection on your PC and you need to disconnect battery on phone / short test-point.
No doubt there's a DIY method for those with the knowledge and DC-phoenix account but that's all too much for me!
Also, TWRP is a nightmare so anyone considering this should carefully read these forums - this is not an easy device to mess about with.
There is also "BLK-RSA Service Request group" on Telegram, they do it also for cca 30 EUR - also remotely, where you have to open your phone and shorten the TestPoint pins

Hi,
Yesterday i paid 35$ to Ministry of Solutions for that.
It works. (teamviewer on my computer and dismounted phone for the tespoint method)
With softwares they repaired UMTS (that give us a new readable bootloader code).
After they flashed the firmware....
All the softwares that they use are licenced with usb dongles ( usb sharing through internet with flexhub)
2hours of work (lot of files decompressions on my slow hdd..)
happy with this service
Did you open your back cover to get this work ?

@zgfg -- I'm looking for some advice: would the 'BLK-RSA Service Request group' (you mention in an earlier post) be any use for unlocking a P20 Pro bootloader? I'm not seeing much info. on XDA about the test-point method for this device - doesn't seem widely reported. Obviously, a bit harder getting the back off the P20 - but it's same chipset as View 10 - are they really that different to do a bootloader hack?!

Best, shortly join the Telegram group and ask if they support the phone.
If they do (or even earlier) research the Net do you need some tools and how to safely open your phone. Be prepared before you ask for service, because you must open the phone on your own
Unscrew the bottom screw, use tweezers to enter through the headphone hole, tighten upwards (will expose the gap), insert the card into the gap, along the border, buckle. Open the back cover, find the red plastic on the left, there is a Phillips screw, remove it, there is a baffle with a width of 1mm, open the baffle, there are five metal points below, then use a wire to connect the fifth point, and USB buckle on the side (a 2mm wide metal cover)
Hi, is this only for unlocking the bootloader? Sadly even with it we are stuck with old, un-updated roms...
Anyone know that now it's possible without opening back cover
Blk not longer required to open devices for pin short...
@TheFastGT Could you please tell us where to get more infos about this method?
