Hi Guys,
Well, obviuosly I can be thought as a thief, but believe me I'm not. I am quite desperate.
I had just bought a redmi note 2 device for my daughter. Unfortunatley, after 2 days of usage, it began shutting itself down, and also didn't let me open it unless I pulled out the battery and set it back.
The seller offered me to to reset the device and reboot, which I did.
But then, I bumpped into this screen - "Activate This Device".
The tradgedy is that my little child created an Mi account, with fabricated email address, and also she didn't take a note of the password!
So, this new device is now unfunctional for me! And my daughter cries out loud... :crying:
I contacted the seller again - he told me that he could try reinstalling android, but he is in doubt if it'll help at all.
Can someone advise?
Many thanks!

And from the state of this screen, how can I do it?
1. Install twrp on the phone. Google keyword "redmi note 2 twrp fastboot". I cant post link here. Or try download it from xiaomi(dot)eu. Redmi note 2 codename is hermes.
2.Download any cm based rom. There are two unofficial cm rom on this forum, and flash it using twrp.

I noticed that pressing power button + Volume Down brings me to some Fastboot screen. Can I use this fastboot?

Installing twrp using fastboot requiring installing some driver on pc and some command line. If you're good with that, go ahead.
Easier method is by installing twrp using MI Recovery by pressing power button + vol up. Download twrp from xiaomi(dot)eu website.
You don't have to change any ROMs I don't think.
Factory reset the phone by holding the power and vol - buttons to get into the stock recovery and then factory reset the device. Create a new Mi account using a legit email and verify it. BAM!

I flashed weekly rom from xiaomi.eu (6.2.25). it automatically asked my mi-acc password without entering my email or mi-id. and if i skip it, my phone is locked until I entered it.
If you access you mi account from the desktop website you can reset the phone number by following their instructions. I think it takes 3 days to be evaluated but after that you can use it again.

Hello,
about 2 hours ago I decided that I would unlock my device (before that I read maximum informations that I could). Unlocking went fine and I also installed TWRP 2.1.3 (through ViperMod). So far so good.
Then I made backup in TWRP in case something goes wrong. I was going to try AOKP v40 so I downloaded it via goo manager and then I flashed it in TWRP Install option (and also installed gapps) and wiped cache. Device rebooted and I was stuck at AOKP boot animation for about 15 minutes when I decided to recover back. So I rebooted, restored and rebooted.
Now I'm stuck at first boot logo (eee pad). When I try to do VolDown+Power to get into recovery it doesn't ask for VolUp, but goes straight to selection of Wipe or USB. When I select fastboot or wait 10 secs device frozes. (I haven't tried wipe, just in case it would be needed to unbrick).
I read thread about unbricking (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514088) and to me it seems like option 3, but I don't see recovery option.
In device manager I have 'ASUS Fastboot Interface'.
Here's video how it looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BGd1PIVbn8
Please please could anyone help me?
Btw: Is there any chance to shut down? Holding power button just resets, so does pinhole... :/

Shouldn't it be volume and power down to get to the option to press volume up for recovery?
Are you familiar with fastboot flashing recoveries? Either way that will be helpful info for us to have.
Most important thing, this is no big deal at all, it's really a minor issue. Don't let yourself get stressed out over it, the community will make sure you're good to go.

Nope, this is my first time flashing.
You say you dont see the VOL_UP message. From the video it looks like it is there. You just did not press it within 5 seconds.
Once it comes up, let go of the buttons ;p

nope it's not there. I was holding voldown from the start and as soon as it should say 'press volup for recovery' (time 0:04) it jumps (skips 5 seconds of waiting) directly to wipe/fastboot options (wipe is one that is selected on video)
Ok so I managed to fix my problem thanks to hanzo001's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662158). Someone should add this instructions to the [HOW-TO] Unbrick your Transformer Prime (or not) thread.

Hi guys,
I tried to unlock the bootloader of my Nexus 10 before rooting it. Unfortunately, it didn't work and I can't use it anymore (I either have the "Loading X" forever or a dead droid while trying to go to the recovery mode).
I'm used to do that kind of modifications (only on Samsung Galaxy S and S3 though) and I don't know what I did wrong (but I usually flashed with Odin).
Anyway, I used this tool (after enabling the usb debug and allowing unknown sources) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001868
I installed the drivers on my PC (menu 1 in the tool), then I could see my device in ADB MODE (in the tool menu). I tried to unlock the bootloader (3rd option in the menu) and it was written completed. My device reboots and nothing happens. I can access the fastboot mode (is it the download mode ?).
I have Odin.
Can someone help me to get a working device ?
Thank you very much.

Easy fix. Get to the dead droid recovery menu and then press all 3 buttons on the top. You will get into the blue recovery options. Choose factory reset.
Sometimes unlocking the bootloaders scrambles a few things on this device and it goes into boot loop. After the factory reset, you'll be fine. PM me if you still have issues.

Okay, thank you very much. I didn't know I had to press the 3 top buttons again after the dead droid screen, I thought it failed loading the Recovery Mode.
I have to setup my account etc again so I guess it is safe to say it worked.
Additionally, I tried this method after the recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015467
and it worked fine. My device has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted.
hey if someone could help me im stuck myself, after i had the dead android in recovery mode i tried to flash software with the toolkit in fastboot and now when i go to recovery its just a blank screen till i hold the bottom combo again and it takes me back to fastboot

Hey,
I'm having the same problem. I get to the dead droid instead of recovery and tried hitting all three buttons again but it's just looping again.
Any ideas?

It sounds like you didn't actually perform a factory reset. The key combination to get into stock recovery from the dead android screen is Power + Vol-Up. That will bring up the option to factory reset.
So if your powered off or bootlooping, hold the Power + Vol-Up + Vol-Down until you're back in the Bootloader. Use Vol buttons to select Recovery Mode and tap Power. When the droid w/ the Red "!" appears, hold the Power button and quick press the Vol-Up button. This should take you into stock recovery. Select Factory reset. Reboot. After a few minutes, the device should boot normally.
Good luck.

Ok found a video showing that when you get to that part where there's the dead droid (the red !), you don't press hold hold all three buttons but tap them until the recovery screen shows up.
So finally did that but I still have the same problem.
My initial problem was, I received my N10, open the box, turned it on and it started freezing and rebooting. Can't get past the wifi step.
Tried hard and many times to finally get to enter my gmail account, etc
Updated to 4.3, problem persisted so I figured, maybe the factory flashed a bad rom?
So I unlocked it, rooted it and tried flashing older stock versions, same problem.
Tried flashing CM, same; PA, same...
Tried deactivating location service as suggested elsewhere: same; uninstall chrome: same
Even CM withouf GAPPS wouldnt work
So basically, I have a $500 brick. Completely useless as it freezes every 30 seconds.
Decided not to return the device because although I am Canadian, I live in SE Asia and had a visiting friend bring it to me. Way past the return period and the overall experience would be a real pain in the butt... Don't know what to do. Really hoping Kit Kat will solve it but I have doubts.
What do you think?
Sorry. I don't know enough about these things to give more in depth troubleshooting advice. I just recently got my N10 & unlocked it and based on your original post, I thought that's where you needed help. But it sounds like you got past that and got it unlocked.
Have you tried downloading a factory image directly from Google and installing that? If it's locking up on a fresh install of any ROM, it very well may be a hardware issue. You may have to file a warranty claim if possible.

Hi,
dont panic, I went thru exactly the same process right up till the TWRP and wipe. All you need to do is get hold of the stock rooted rom zip from here:
Then copy it onto your sdcard, for which you can connect to the computer using Advanced menu of the TWRP, and load the sdcard, which will connect as USB storage to PC.
Then once file is on sd card, just go back to main TWRP meny and select install option, then select the zip file you just copied.
Let TWRP do its stuff, then do a factory reset / then go into reboot system.
Wish you all the best. Once the ROM has installed, now you can search for the latest TWRP, install it then go on to latest kit kat roms in exactly the same way.

hope he follows up with a thank you.

That file is stock firmware inside the zip is a .tot file that can be renamed to .bin and used with lgnpst to bring the phone back to stock. You would need to be able to get into download mode
again. If you do use the g33k3r file you would need to root again then use Freegee app from play store to unlock bootloader and install recovery.

I guess this is original ATT LG E970 Firmware. I will copy it into my external Memory Card and then will insert into phone. After that using TWRP I'll be going to use this Zip file and after that factory reset. Am I correct ? Do I need to follow different steps ?
Let me know. Moreover do I need to unlock Phone again? When I received it was already in Unlocked State. So installing the above link firmware will lock it again? Or should I proceed with the link I posted earlier, I mean this ..

make sure to download the first file too.... to get to download mode just use twrp's reboot menu... from what i remember it has a reboot to bootloader. From there you can use the volume keys to select Download mode and push the power button to go into it...

sorry, you're right... have you tried to manually get into download mode?
Poweroff phone>connect usb cable to phone (not to computer yet)>hold down (both) volume up/volume down>connect usb to computer (while holding down volume buttons)

Hi Fellow members,
I am using Redmi note 4x (global edition) with twrp, magisk and xposed installed. Yesterday i reboot the phone and it boots into twrp screen, i have flashed other rom also but it keeps booting in twrp.
I tried to access fastboot, by pressing vol-up + vol-down key and connecting it to pc, its shows green light of notification instead of red light blinks. and i also tried by pressing vol-down and power key. and finally phone boots into rom. but whenever i restart the phone it keeps coming to twrp.
Can anyone help me to access fastboot option. I will be very thankful to you guys.

If you are on any custom ROM like LOS, head on to developer options and turn on "Advance Reboot".
Now you will get "Reboot to Fastboot" option upon clicking Restart.

No. AFAIK, it doesn't work this way. You are either doing some step wrong.
Double check your steps. It's most probably a human error.
Make sure you are holding the combination long enough.
And carefully follow the steps mentioned in the above link.
If it doesn't work, then I'm afraid, you'll need to contact customer service.

Hi there!
Two simple guides for you... since I had a lot of trouble finding all the information in one post.
1. How to get into recovery mode on our Nokia 7 (TA1041).
2. How to restore stock (official) software phones shipped with unofficial software so you can easily update to the newest software!
This is what to do, and it WORKS!
1. Shut the phone down.
2. Connect a power source. Wait for the device to start charging.
3. Press and hold Volume Up and Power Button together. Release the Power Button when the phone vibrates, but keep the Volume Up pressed.
4. If you do it correctly, then you will be on the "no command" screen of stock recovery.
5. Press and hold the Power Button and quickly press and release (so 1 short press) the Volume Up key . Then release the Power Button too.
6. You should be in the recovery. And you can now use the Volume Buttons to navigate and Power Button to select your choice.
Good luck!
Oke, so I thought it might be useful to share some other info too..
If you bought a Nokia 7 from China and it has the unofficial software which can not be updated this is the way to get it back to 100% stock!
What is needed?
Minimal Fastboot & ADB
Unlock key (from the_laser or techmesto - search for it on Google)
Stock firmware & OST LA & Patch (Google Drive link - thanks to hikari_calyx & Heineken78)
0.1 You need a bootloader unlock key. Some users on here know how to make it, I do not. I bought mine for $5 here on a website called techmesto allthough I rather see it as a donation because the guy is really helpful and excited. He also has a Nokia 7
0.2 Install OST LA, copy patched .exe to the installation folder.
0.3 Install Minimal Fastboot ADB
Then the real works starts:
1. Start up you Nokia 7 and in the Google Setup click "next" all the time. When it asks for a username just press "ok", do not write anything as a username.
2. Go to about phone and tap "build" 7 times to get acces to developer options.
3. In developer options allow "oem unlock"
4. Turn of the phone and boot into Download Mode (which is fastboot!): plug in usb charger and then press Volume Down and Power Button
5. Use the following fastboot commands:
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash unlock [unlock_file.bin] #whatever the name of your unlockfile is
fastboot oem unlock-go
6. Select "Yes" by pressing Volume Up and Power Button
7. Phone will reboot. Now go back into Download Mode (fastboot).
8. Use the following fastboot commands:
Code:
fastboot flash unlock [unlock_file.bin] #whatever the name of your unlockfile is
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
9. Select "Yes" by pressing Volume Up and Power Button
Now your phone is fully unlocked.
10. Go into Download Mode (fastboot again).
11. Unpack the stock rom file and open OST LA (by opening the patched onlineupdatetool.exe). Click "edit phone information". Wait for the error and click "ok" then click "next" and select the stock rom file and click "next" again, the software will now flash the stock rom and reboot.
12. After reboot, turn off the phone and go into recovery mode.
13. Select "factory reset" with the Volume Buttons and click Power Button to do a factory reset, then reboot the phone.
14. Turn off the phone again and enter Download Mode (fastboot).
15. With Minimal ADB Fastboot use the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
16. Select "Yes" by pressing Volume Up and Power Button
17. Your phone will now boot into Android. Now you have Android 7.1.1 stock rom with locked bootloader! Go to system settings and start updating your phone
Good luck! Hope this helps out. It helped me out for sure!
Q: I get stuck on the "Powered by Android" screen or the phone keeps rebooting into Download Mode?
A: Just plug in the phone, get into Download Mode and use OST LA to flash the firmware. Nothing needs to be flashed, it will get stuck. But after it gets stuck you can reboot your phone again!
Thank you so much for the guide! It worked for me
However, I could only flash the stock rom with the OST v6.0.4.
During flash OST v6.1.2 blocks when 'Checking device status' and nothing happens.
Just a warning to other users that might face the same thing.
Cheers!
So if I do this I will get ota update to 8.1 and maybe (in future) 9.0 Pie? Another question, I will have my native language Brazilian portuguese or only chinese and english?
There's no way to "translate" it to portuguese? Thankyou.
I have problem with fastboot devices - it not see my Nokia 7 at all...

1. Yes, you can update via OTA to Android 8.1.
2. Only Chinese and English.
3. You can add more languages by using "MoreLocal2" app on Play Store. Search tutorial on YouTube, many people make video about this app.

Wow cool.
One last question (I swear): Can I make a backup of this current shop ROM to go back if something goes wrong or I don't like it?

You can ask as much as you like =))))
I think you can't because we don't have this "custom ROM" file.
Chinese sellers mod a stock ROM to Android One version, but it is lag and unstable, it's not official ROM, either
Just wanted to add that for me, in the OST v6.0.4 tool, the 'Check System AP Status' update option is selected by default along with 'Normal Download' and seemed to cause the update process to fail. Deselecting it having only 'Normal Download' selected solved it.
I did unlock my nokia 7 and I get the 5 sec delay when its unlocked
Then I Flash the rom C1N-0430-0-00CN-B05.nb0 it does flash but when it tells me finished and does boot its still my old android with dutch language and error com.android.phone I can click on it but its directly back phone is useless now.
Can someone help me ?
After factory reset my phone did boot the stock ROM. I select english and it works ok.
Done several OTA downloads and finished the 10-2018 update no more available.
I wanted to remove some of the stock apps but failed.
Can someone tell me how I can root my Nokia 7 (is there a guide supersu or magisk ?) and how to install TWRP I read something about saving a partition or maybe mistaken. A good guide with steps would be great.
HELP!!

OST 6.1.2 cannot be cracked so it will not work. You should use OST 6.0.4. You will need to have an unlocked bootloader to flash it yourself.
Bootloader unlock
