edit #2: THE UNLOCK APP DOESNT WORK ON AMD RYZEN
hi all,
i tried unlocking the bootloader with the mi unlock app as described here: http://en.miui.com/thread-246705-1-1.html
app version: miflash_unlock-en-3.3.827.31
sadly on step 6.) the app is never able to "see" the phone and the only thing that shows up is the "not connected to phone" text. anyone with the same problem and knows how to fix it?
when i press "click the button to install the drive" is shows "mi drive installed" as confirmation (screenshot)
this is how the phone shows up in my windows 10 device manager: (screenshot)
thanks for reading!
edit: when i open the mipcsuite it says: "you need to update your device" but my poco is running miui 10.0.6.0 stable... i dont know what else to do/try...
so i got a little bit further with this issue. there is A SECOND USB DEBUGGING OPTION in the settings, why is this not mentioned anywhere??? (screenshot)
after enabling it i get the mi unblock app to see the phone but then it stops verifying at 50% with the non-descript error message (-1) (screenshot)
maybe somebody knows what to do from here?
edit: it shows me only 1 attachment under "attached thumbnails" but there are two, just navigate to the second picture via the first one

Did you try to unlock with another PC as suggested in the link posted in your first post?

i guess you are referring to this: "3. Use another PC (64-bit) to unlock if MI Unlock Tool fails to detect your device/ unknown error."
but i only have amd pc's and it is a 64bit system (including the os)... but i have found clues in other threads that it might be amd ryzen related, so i guess thats my only option then... what a ****ing ****show xiaomi's software is, it's rediculous!

Yes... Its F**king Ryzen, it wont work eventhough it shows drivers are installed, Try unlocking on any Intel system.. Boom it works..
PS: even i have Ryzen system but i unlocked my phone on Intel based laptop which I use rarely..

well since literally every other software works just fine on my ryzen system i doubt amd or ryzen is to blame here...
edit: although i thought it was no use i gave an older amd system a try and it kinda worked... BUT (of course there is a but) now it tells me i have to wait 35h before i can unlock my phone!? didnt they say they got rid of the waiting period? wtf...

You should be glad that it is only 35 hours as against 72 hours that I am facing. To my knowledge, Xiaomi merely said that they changed the earlier method where after registering with them, you had to wait indefinitely till you received a SMS message from them. Now atleast you know how long you have to wait. Some progress

so basically "we got rid of the waiting period! (but there is a second waiting period we left in...)" great, *slow clap...
well that 35h is after ~two days of figuring out wtf is going on, so maybe the timer was already running?!?

May be one of your earlier attempts got through though the tool did not let you know. Because I have not so far seen anything less than 72 hours in the threads I visited.

I know, I know: First use the board-search and google...
I did that and I couldn't find anything useful for my issue.
I'm trying to update my HTC Prophet G4 to WM6.1...
I wanted to use SoftSPL and after executing the SPL.lnk the screen turns white as it should, but after that Windows XP doesn't recognize my phone anymore as connected.
I tried different USB-Ports, but the "ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe" keeps telling me "Error 260" which means it couldn't connect to my phone.
I'm really desperate cause I've already tried to upgrade for some days...
So if anyone knows how to fix that plz write =D English and German are okay with me

Thanks for posting, but as I already told you: I did my research...
So I already tried different FlashingTools, like ProphetTools etc.
When I SoftSPL, I get to the whitescreen but i cannot make my pc recognize the phone at my usb-port.
When I enter the 3-Colored-Screen manually it shows the usb-connectivity, but I cannot update the ROM...
There was a way (I cannot remember anymore which way I did it, cause I really tried very often) I entered the 3-Colored-Screen and there was "RUU" written in the right upper corner of the screen. But then again the connectivity doesn't work...
Also tried different usb-ports and cables...
I could say that I'm feeling like a weirdo, cause upgrading a rom seems easy and still makes my day miserable xD
//EDIT:
Didn't see the "Lazy_Tool" at the first glance, but now after trying I still get the same error...
//EDIT2:
Realized that the error-code could be useful^^ --> "Error[260]: Update Error" (Sth like that^^)
I had a similar issue. When your PC reports it cannot connect to the phone - does the phone restarts?

If u want to know if I bricked the phone then no =) I can restart it and everythings fine^^
If u meant sth else plz specify your question a bit
@ dioxda2:
Ok I'll experiment a bit^^ I'll get my new hardware soon, so maybe the error won't be a problem^^ We'll see =)

OK, rephrasing: the problem I had with my phone was that while a ROM update was running the phone would restart and I got the same error you did.
It turned out the battery was at fault, after replacing it with a new one - it works great.
If u do as dioxda2 says all should be fine. He is right in saying 260 is a connection error. That means unplugging all usb devices out of ur machine. It also means disabling all other connection software, like my raspberry program that display device screen when active sync'd. I always disable my anti virus and firewall (make sure ur not connected to internet at time).
i always ensure that the flashing tool is on the root drive, not in many folders (so place flash tool direct on ur main hard drive in its folder as uve unzipped) this itself can cuase connection errors. Ensure battery is 50% min too.
Good luck
I was trying to install a custom ROM and did not know I needed an unlocked bootloader, as I used ROMs on a S4 without doing any extra work.
Anyway, so when I attempted that, my Optimus L9 rebooted and gave me the LG logo with the "Security Error" words below it. It's stuck on that now. I tried using the LG Mobile Support Tool, but it gets stuck on downloading new software. The progress bar disappears quickly, so I'm sure it's not downloading.
I tried leaving it to download for around 45 minutes, but it was stuck on the same screen when I came back, with no progress bar. It can't be that it's taking long, I have decent Internet (150/75). I'm afraid of leaving it for hours as the device does heat up.
Is there ANYTHING I can do? I tried calling LG and the woman who was there to help me was rude and treated me like an idiot, only to give me the solution of sending it in. PLEASE help me!!

It's always best to include your device model when asking questions like this. There are four models of the L9 and the all have different quirks.
A factory hard-reset or use the 'Recovery' option in the LG Support tool. Only things I can think of at the moment with a lack of details.
Did you back anything up? If not, not much else to do other than try what I've suggested.
This post may also be of some interest.
Advice::
Never assume anything. Research is your friend I had an LG Optimus One, was easy to mod, root, etc. I bought this L9 ( P769 ) on the assumption that it would be similar. Boy was I wrong. However, I did the research before attempting to do anything with the L9.

I really regret doing what I did :crying:. It's definitely a huge lesson for me.
My model: LG Optimus L9 MS769 (back cover says P769?)
If a factory hard-reset means holding the home button, voIume UP button, and power button, then I already did that but I did not reach the robot.
In the LG support tool, after I enter S/W upgrade mode, it says the software version is V10D and that there is an upgrade available. When I start the upgrade, it goes through the first step but when I get to the second step, it doesn't download I think. I have an image but I can't link to it since I have under 10 posts.

Their network is horribly slow. I've heard of people waiting 2 hours. In addition the tool appears to freeze. However, it's still operating.
I don't prefer this method because of the time.
Learn how to use the unofficial fastboot & offline flash.
Or just keep waiting for that program to finish.

So it's normal? The reason I thought otherwise was because when I searched, I saw 0 people with the stuck/long download issue and figured it was just me. I didn't want to risk my device even further as I am aware that it has been soft-bricked, so there is a little hope available. Should I let it sit for 3-4 hours and let it over-heat?
I attempted the fastboot method but my device was not showing under the Devices section. I do not have a "Other Devices" section when I get to the step.
I am trying the offline flash method now, although I can't find a working V10D KDZ.

At this point you don't have anything else to loose. I honestly can't say yes or no. I think all pertinent partitions will be updated to the newer version. I've never used this method so I cannot say 100%.

As in LG Support Tool? No I don't think it will since your phone has been altered with unofficial methods. I could be wrong tho.
Just realized something else strange, IMHO, my P769 came with Android 4.1.2 ( JellyBean ) and you say you were on stock ICS?
Just out of curiosity was it a WalMart purchase? They're still advertised as having ICS 4.0.4. Last update I got was to from V20G to V20H which is what I'm on now.

I mean that in order for the KDZ flash to work you must do some edits in the host file so that you can do the offline fix, I did it but it won't work as the tool crashes while connecting to the device.
My device also came with 4.1.2. It did not come with ICS. But when I open the support tool it says V10D. I bought my L9 from an official MetroPCS store

Yep. Hurry up and right click on it before it disappears and select "Update Driver". You need to manually point Device Manager to the usb_driver folder in the fastboot tools folder. You may have to do that a couple times. If successful, unplug USB from device wait a couple seconds and plug back in. This will reinstall the drivers just in case they didn't take the first time.

I got fastboot to work!!! I got the inverted screen and all. Now the problem is that I can't flash the phone . I keep trying a KDZ I downloaded. The supporter tool provided in the zip keeps trying to connect to the phone, the UpTest one loads the new Support Tool and it crashes, and the KDZ UPD tool gets stuck on unpacking KDZ and says no phone found.

*Phone goes into EDL WITHOUT having to touch the pins on the mobo*
So, my phone was working like 3 days ago, until today it just went to "Red Light Blinking and Nothing Else", So i searched around the internet and basically on YT i got videos like "Heating up the Power IC Fixes this" but i really didn't wanted to try it so i went again and thought maybe i need to flash the Phone so i downloaded the "Global Stock Rom" so i then took the back cover off of my phone and plugged it the USB Cable and i saw "QualComm HS-USB QLoader 9008" which is right i guess and tried to flash it via MiFlash Tool. And indeed i got error BUT in sequence.
1st one was "cannot recieve hello packet"
which i solved by reconnecting my phone
Then
2nd "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
I only got this ONCE, searched around again and found out that it's something with WRONG ROM type. So i redownloaded the ROM and got the third error.
3rd "init:storage fail" Which i again searched around and found this could be related to "EMMC Fail" which i have no idea how it went there.
So please if anyone have any info or can lend me some help then please let me know as soon as you can.
Thanks in advance.

I've tried a different port and re-downloaded the ROM, but i haven't tried to "Disable Driver Enforcement" yet, But if the EMMC is dead then how do i deal with it? And how does it dies? I was using it like 3 days ago with no problem and suddenly it's just gone.

Like any tutorials or something? I also have a Note 4 with the same problem as this. Or maybe i'll just never buy a Mi phone again
But still thanks for your time.

Its not harddisk which will give u alert or noisy sound before it dies. Its Sd. Thats the demerits of solid drive.
Emmc means embedded multi media card or disk. Its cant be repaired. It can be replaced in service center. May be.
But better buy new phone.
Nothing wrong in buying xiaomi phone.
Most problems happen when u stay on miui and keep doing OTA update for entire life which creates lots of bugs and issues.
U must do factory reset once in a six months. Or flash fastboot rom clean all flash using computer is best to keep phone healthy. Its not true that stock rom is always best. Sometimes its bloated and hogs ur phone like hell like miui.
So installing Custom debloated roms are best here to keep rom smooth running and increasing phones health.
Only upgrading using OTA is not good. Userdata and internal sd must be wiped after few months to clear bugs.
Hej folks
i took a long break in the root sector
and probably took it a little rushed
and I hope it is not too late to save the M5 8.4 LTE ...
I had installed Root with magist for about 3 years and never changed anything, now I no longer need the tablet and want back to stock,
I have re´locked the bootloader and wanted to restore stock via recovery ...
the formating worked well but since then i only have 3 menus and no way to get access anymore
does anyone have an idea ´or is the good piece gone?
....................................here 4 Pics with the 4 menu
(im to young on this forum with 8years membership i cant post pics.... nice)
thanks for help :angel:
has nobody an idea

Thanks for the answer
I haven't read anything about it until now, I only found one page on gitHub that is from BaumFX but i havent tested
Is what you mean in general for android or explicitly for the M5?

i had the same issue with my wifi version, was able to push stock recovery using adb commands, then restore thru recovery, but i had not of course relocked the bootloader
I just had a dude unlock my bootloader two days ago for the SHT-AL09. It was 30$ though.
Please, more info bout this dude. How can I contact him?
ministryofsolutions. 30$ Don't know how long he will be doing it for. He can do the latest firmware and it takes about 2 hours. Then if you're like me you'll spend the next 3 days trying to get twrp and root installed. It's a pain in the ass for the Sht-Al09. Chinese version on Asian firmware. You're going to want to keep backups as you will most likey brick your device several times Like I did. Or use the erecovery feature. I love this device.
sorry but i don't understand anything in this post
i try my luck at the local phone stations
maybe someone can help me there , everything I do goes wrong with the M5

did you tried the tespoint method?

it requires u to physically remove the lcd screen( isn't that difficult)

if u have the m5 8,4 lte your model name is SHT-W09, as shown here
https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_mediapad_m5_8-9092.php
board software
https://easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=34131
it maybe available somewhere else -here of course
https://androidhost.ru/search.html and https://androidfilehost.com are good starting points
though it is possible that they are all behind paywalls like easy firmware
searching for board software u have to alter the names like:
SHT-AL09-BD
SHT-AL09 board software
schubert -AL09-BD
schubert is the internal name for 8,4 version where as cameron is the name for mine, the 10 inch one
if u're finding and flashing your don't erease nvme and oem.
Otherwise u have to do a "cdma rewrite" via "HCU client" or manually edit your nvme via hex-editor, because u lost the serial number and imei
pm me for discord in case u need advise during the process
and yes after opening the model name is printed on back cover
I'm stuck on waiting for all devices in adb.. My phone screen has a menu with three choices, one of them is flash unlock.bin. Should I keep waiting for all devices for how long in adb?
What procedure are you using to unlock? The WTF process is the one that I believe has worked the best for most people... and that doesn't have anything special on the phone screen, so I'm thinking you're using some app or script?

Yea, I'm following that one. I read somewhere about AMD PCs causing problems. My phone shows when I use adb devices. So should I be a little more patient or what?
No, the processes are quick. AMD Ryzens typically have issues, but it's only because of the USB driver they use. I've heard a few Intels have issues sometimes as well.
The key is, you just need to try other computers... this is the "hardest" thing to do, but it's really the only solution to that issue. The process takes under a second, so it's not a patience issue.
For the record, my older laptop with an AMD A9 CPU did the process fine... so, again, it's not a CPU issue, but a driver issue for the USB, apparently...

Some people had to use 2 or 3 computers. An older one with Intel CPU works best (especially if it has USB 2.0), but yes an AMD can work. As noted by @schwinn8 Ryzens are no go. One guy was upset because he had superfast gaming computer and we kept telling him to try another computer. He borrowed his brother's mediocre laptop and BOOM, worked. Another guy dug some old laptop out of his closet and it worked.
Thanks for the reply...i was just reading about adb making sure it wasn't something i was doing wrong. Even tried on an old iMac that i had installed linux on. "Waiting for device..." So..still reading and learning to be patient. Thank you

Also, try the steps mentioned in Wtf troubleshooting section.
Other than that you may have to mess around in the device manager section to see if the phone is detected properly or not.
(if there's a problem with the driver the device will show up as unknown android device or something)

You said "patient"... just to reiterate, this process doesn't take longer on a computer that says "waiting for device". It's a fast process, so if it's not happening within a few seconds, it won't work on that setup, period. Don't waste your time waiting - get another machine/cable/etc (check the troubleshooting steps to find other possible issues... the computer is usually the biggest problem to overcome, but the most successful).
Good news, i unlocked my phone and installed twrp, then i had to stop the process (wtf)
i still need to make a backup in TWRP and flash two more files from wtf notes. I cannot seem to be able to reboot into TWRP from ADB. thanks in advance
The oem is greyed out in developer mode and says its unlocked. Idk?
Glad to hear you got it unlocked.
In the WTF post it says that the developer mode may remain grayed out after being flipped... this is normal. It comes back after some time. Of course, you don't want to toggle it again anyway, since you're unlocked...
When i go to use an app to boot into twrp..it tells me its not rooted.

Used getvar..unlocked.
Well its done..used an old hp A6 with linuxmint. I found linux to be straightforward and easy when trying to root my phone. No jumping thru hoops and juggling stuff.
Any recommendations for remodeling the phone? Boot to twrp..roms..ect?

Bootloader unlocked is not rooted. It's just the prerequisite to being rooted. Then you install TWRP custom recovery and then use that to flash Magisk. It's all in the WTF Instructions. Also be sure to use the version of Magisk in the WTF Instructions, at least initially.
Thanks..ive got magisk from the instructions. It wants to update..should?
Once you are booted into Android, you can update Magisk to some degree. I forget the last version I had but I recall I could go to 20.x or something without issue. But there is always a risk of having issues if you update to the latest version... so be prepared to go back to the one on the WTF thread if the phone has issues. In other words, don't do this last minute or without a PC to work from... because it could fail.
The only time you have to use the old Magisk is during that first boot with it... once you're booted through, you have been able to update to newer versions. But unless you need some specific feature of the newest version, I might suggest leaving it alone...
I read somewhere..when i upgrade on US 998 20b, i need to move up to 20c?
Also, do i use the "twrp version. 20c"?
