I screwed up really bad guys - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Soooooooooooo, I tried to install twrp recovery on my phone, not knowing I had to unlock my bootloader, and I have usb debugging on but not authorized on this computer (or any computer) and I have OEM unlocking disabled! I cant access anything but the download mode and adb and fastboot won't recognize it. I've tried odin and it recognizes it but it keeps failing to flash pleaaaaase help. P.S. I do have the correct drivers (tested it on another phone) and am using correct cable.

Is it a Qualcommm? If yes feel free to check the thread below also like my replies it encourages me ALOT.

Lenovo P70A problems with flashing TWRP

Hey, I am new here so sorry if I'm posting in wrong board.
I rooted my P70 a while ago and everything was fine. Now I decided that I want to flash 5.1.1 on it. I proceeded to flash TWRP.
I tried it with SP flash on pc, I checked that my scatter file and recovery.img was correct. I opened the scatter file in SP, connected my phone and clicked download, but nothing happened. Only the phone started charging, I have enabled USB Debugging and developer mode. The bootloader was still the stock one. Why?
Next thing I tried is to put the recovery.img on SD card and downloading Uncletools, I flashed it and it asked me if I want to reboot in bootloader, so I did, but it was still the stock bootloader.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks a lot for any response.
Anyone got any idea?
Click download and conecting usb cable to hh
Hey,
I have the same issue. The phone is rooted but the SP flash tool will not do anything. I've read that it's because the USB drivers are incorrect. However I am unable to install the drivers as the phone does not show up under other devices but rather under portable devices. I tried to install the android sdk and use those drivers or ones I found on the web but none of them will take. I found the ADB device signed driver under USB devices in the device manager.
I am honestly at a loss here. Would be grateful if anyone has ideas I could try!
Thanks

Stuck on unlocking boot loader

Hello I am new to the developer scene. And an trying to root my HTC desire 626s I have found the forum for it on here but am having issues unlocking my boot loader when I get to the cmd for fastboot get_oem part it says waiting on device and stays that way... Any help appreciated I just want to get ride of the bloatware on my.phone and am new to this rooting things and some of the guides are confusing. Any help appreciated.thanks. * Sinistyre
You need to make sure you have the right drivers and a good cable. Check the drivers in Device Manager. If you need them, just install the newest HTC Sync. You also need to be in the bootloader screen and have fastboot selected. The phone should read fastboot usb in the bootloader screen when plugged in and the computer properly recognizes. If you continue to have trouble, try different cables, ports, and/or another computer.

[SOLVED] Unbrick with locked bootloader

As the title reads, I am stuck in a bootloop I guess coming from uninstalling more system apps than was probably wise.
I tried to flash via Mi Flash but I get a "can't flash a locked phone" error.
I also tried to connect to Mi PC Suite on Fastboot but it doesn't recognize the phone as connected (although the PC itself does and Mi Flash did too).
What options do I have?
Much appreciated,
Ultimatum
SOLUTION:
Download latest Fastboot ROM and decompress
Download and install MiFlash
Open MiFlash
Shut down the phone
Power on with Power + Vol Up.
Download Mode
Connect phone to computer, let it install the drivers if necessary
Refresh MiFlash, phone should show up (for me, Device showed as COM 10)
Browse the ROM
Tick Flash all except data and storage
Advanced > clear nvflash_all.bat
Flash
Enjoy!

have you tried to re-install the Driver? make sure that you only use win 64 bit for flashing, many issues occurred when you try to flash using win 32 bit
I am using Windows 10 64 bit. Moreover, I have installed ADB drivers separately (although these seem to come with the Mi Flash utility too).
I think it's intended behavior not to be able to flash via Fastboot with the bootloader locked? I was hoping to be able to restore via Mi PC Suite but it can't seem to see the phone, although the computer does and Mi Flash does too.
try using Mi PC Suite, http://en.miui.com/thread-92720-1-1.html, After Mi PC Suite is installed, make sure that your phone is in fastboot mode, connect your phone to a computer, and select the correct ROM file to flash
"I also tried to connect to Mi PC Suite on Fastboot but it doesn't recognize the phone as connected (although the PC itself does and Mi Flash did too)."
For some reason, Mi PC Suite is not detecting the phone.

Hello there,
I faced the same situation, but unfortunately in download mode, the phone is not detected in MiFlash, it detected as QHSUSB_BULK in Windows. Phone is detected while in fastboot and normal mode, but not in download mode. Do you have any idea what to do?
I expect this is a driver issue, but I can't figure out what.. I'm using Windows 64 bit, disabled driver signature enforcement, and installed all driver from MiFlash installation (there were 3 of driver notification prompt).

You need to update QHSUSB_BULK to the Qualcomm driver.
Device Manager > Select QHSUSB_BULK > Update Driver Software > Find manually the location of the driver, most likely: C:\Program Files (x86)\Xiaomi\MiPhone\Qualcomm\Driver
The driver should now appear as Qualcomm something, and Mi Flash should be able to see the phone.
Does this work?

Hi,
Thank you for the help. Unfortunately it doesn't work straight away, fortunately this leads me to the right direction, after I tried to point the driver to Xiaomi directory, a window dialog says the driver is 32 bit thus noninstallable for my PC, then I looked around for 64 bit driver for Qualcomm, installed it. I can finally install the driver but the phone is detected as unknown USB device, after removing it from Device Manager, restarted my PC, and tried again, it's still the same, on the third try it finally detected properly. It's working now, thank you very much.
Really weird why did MiFlash comes with noninstallable driver.

you have to flash in edl mode not fastboot so google on how to take redmi 3s into edl mode then you can flash the rom in locked bootloader.in redmi 3 we use volume up and volume down and power button.press all three at the same time and it will take u to edl mode.screen becomes all black but if you plug it to ur computer and press refresh in miflash then it will show as com 10 or 20.thats for redmi 3.maybe redmi 3s has the same steps

I have already tried to switch to edl mode using cmd with "fastboot oem edl" command but it enter bootloop. It happen because oem is locked alongwith usb debugging as I didn't unlock developer option.

then you should buy a usb cable which has a button in it which forces xiaomi devices to boot into edl mode.i forgot its name but i think you can google to find it

I believe you are talking about dfc a.k.a deep flash cable. I have searched alot I couldn't find it on any e-commerce site except alibaba which doesn't ship at my place. Can yousuggest any seller or website if you ever came across selling dfc cable? Deep flash method is the only last resort for my problem other than sending phone to service centre. Could you suggest any website to make dfc cable manually?;as I have searched youtube but non of the method mentioned in it seemed liable to me.

You don't need deep flash cable use button combo to put in edl mode. From device manager update driver for QHSUSB_BULK. \After that reboot pc with driver signature disabled, then open mi flash and phone should be recognised. Just found the thread I used to remove vendor rom.
http://en.miui.com/thread-254606-1-1.html
JUST MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE ROM FOR YOUR DEVICE!:crying:

As I have already said edl mode won't work since developers option was not activated as edl requires oem activated. I had already tried all the methods.
By the way thanks to u all at xda as I have successfully flashed new rom using deep flash cable method...
Nexus 10 rooted in a bootloop
Hi folks! I'm a newbie with this stuffs so I'll do my best to explain the issue. I've recently rooted my Nexus 10 with Nexus root toolkit 2.1.9( I believe). All was fine until I turn it off and back on. Now I'm in a bootloop. I could use the Unroot+flash command but my windows 7 won't detect the device. It only detect it when my tablet is connected and turn off. In that case shows as MTP. Can anyone help me reinstalling the driver or else? Thank you

Unbrick Xiaomi Redmi 3s prime with unlocked boot loader
Hi all,
I've a Xiaomi redmi 3s prime with rooted and unlocked bootloader. I tried unrooting from SuperSu and the phone is in bootloop now. I had TWRP recovery mod installed and a nandroid back up in my phone. But, I can't even enter the recovery mode now. Fast boot is working. Please help me to unbrick it without losing the data or recover the nandroid back up at least.
Thanks!!

Hi.
I do not know if some other member can be of more assistance, but in opinion you will probably have to re-flash stock (especially if even factory reset is not working).
Take a look at his thread by @Jaocagomez for your firmware. It is listed. Read through a little bit to gain a general better understanding.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/general/quark-stock-firmware-moto-maxx-droid-t3063470
Look around on what tools to use and how to flash stock for you specific device. (check out info about RSD Lite 6.2.4, it is mentioned in the above link)
Hope it helps as a starting point!

help with unlocking.

okay so, i just got this phone. did all updates, enabled bootloader unlocking and made my mi account, downloaded the mi unlock tool and everything.
heres where the problem comes in.
everytime i try the button combination to get into fastboot, it works. but then when i connect my phone to my computer, the fastboot splash screen turns black with little text at the top saying "press any button to shutdown" or something like that. it just wont stay on the fastboot screen, its like its exiting fastboot mode on its own.
why does it do this, and what can i do to fix it?
note: i have downloaded all drivers and software to get this to work, and nothing seems to be coming to light.
please help me, i am very confused.
update: actually, it seems to be fine before i open the mi unlock tool. it seems that when mi unlock tool is not open, it stays in fastboot mode, but as soon as i open mi unlock tool, it just kicks me out of fastboot mode, and goes to a black screen with something at the top saying the exact same thing i mentioned earlier.
Turn on the phone go into developer settings and enable usb debugging, im pretty sure that's it

i already have enabled usb debugging. but for some reason, it won't just stay in fastboot mode.
was thinking about calling xiaomi and seeing what they have to say. because i cant find anything on this matter, so its probably just something im doing wrong. though it may be my version of windows. i have Windows 8.1. so maybe thats the deal?
this is stressful lol
If I'm not mistaken, you should only connect the phone in fastboot mode when the program asks, not before you open it

i know, i did that too. but the problem still persists... ill try some other time.
thanks for helping though
First off this is much better place to ask questions. When phone is running and you connect to pc can you access storage?
If not check drivers, try different usb cable, and try different usb ports.
If yes then can you access the phone via adb?
If not it is a pc issue probably drivers.
If so leave phone booted and connected then open unlock software. Once software is up and running go to terminal/command prompt and type "adb reboot bootloader" without quotes.
I don't think it is windows version but with Microsoft anything is possible. I still use windows 7 for all this stuff.
Had the same problem on my Desktop with Ryzen, i tried it on my laptop with Intel Celeron and it worked from the first try without any drivers installed. If you have AMD that might be the cause
Hello.
My personal experience says:
1 Install Drivers on the PC/Laptop.
2 Activate DEVELOPER OPTIONS
3 Accept O E M Unlock
4 Allow usb debugging
5 Shut down Wi-Fi and use only DATA in order to connect - verify the device to the Mi account you have. When connected, press "understood" or ""accept"" (however it pops up).
6 Connect the phone to the PC/Laptop
7 After being connected, shut down the phone and put it in FASTBOOT. Make sure your PC ""reads"" your phone. Do it through command line/power shell, and make sure it shows up as alphanumeric in command line (i hope you know what to type - e.g fastboot devices)
8 Download and use the mi unlock tool (preferable Versions 2.....). Connect through this tool to your Mi account
9 Ask for permission to unlock // unlock your phone if days-hrs have passed. Ignore any pop-up message/warning and go on.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:
A. The phone must be recognized from the PC as ADB INTERFACE (in device manager) both in normal and Fastboot modes. Any other case is waste of time.......
B. Use a good cable and have the mobile charged!
C. In case you have another (older) device connected to your account, disconnect-delete it or else you will end up stuck with a ""cannot unlock message""
D. The process will not work if your PC runs some Win 10 versions as well as if built with RHYZEN PROCESSOR. Prefer PCs running win 7 or 8.
E. You must have DATA connection available or else you will not be able to connect-verify the phone to/through your Mi account !!! it is a new (dual function) fail - safe procedure from xiaomi!!!
F. Make sure you have the correct drivers installed to avoid a brick - bootloop etc
Hope it helps!
Gathered from my own experience!
To summarize: The xiaomi imposes too much rodeo and much time spent of the user to just "try" to unlock a simple bootloader, better to change of apparatus and to be happy with the practicality. lol
