Help please, when my phone got bootloop from xposed framework and do factory reset now my IMEI is null. I tried a lot of thing in internet and didn't work. Also tried flash stock ROM with latest version MIUI, didn't work too.
Ubl unlocked
As far as I'm aware, this will be because encryption has been removed from the data partition. I've got the same problem after installing a GSI ROM. Haven't had chance to fix it yet myself, but I believe flashing stock MIUI using the Mi Flash Tool should fix this. If you've unlocked the boot loader then be aware that the default option when flashing will relock it, so you will need to change the option to install only and not install and lock.
I'm just on here now looking for a link to the official flash tool download. Searching Google returns dozens of sites with the tool, but I don't trust downloading from third party sites.

Hi!
This is my first time ever posting here and although I've found some topics relating to my issue, none have helped me out.
My problem:
I downloaded an app called Flashify.
From the app, I downloaded android 4.4 KitKat because I wanted to update my ROM.
When I booted my phone into recovery (stock <3e>), I clicked on install from SD card, installed the .zip file but I got an error...
It read:
"E:failed to verify whole-signature"
"E:signature verification failed"
"E:update fail and delete temp files"
"formatting /cache..."
Instalation aborted.
Now, if I try to set up my phone again, I'll get as far as the welcome screen and it will always say:
"Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped."
Please help.
I've tryed everything and I can't get rid of that error!
Thank you
Oh by the way, I forgot to give some details
The phone is a Huawei Ascend g330 U8825-1
Android 4.0.4 ICS
Rooted
Running stock everything (or at least it was...)
The file I tryed to install is called: "gapps-kk-20140105-signed-4.4.zip"
Did you even look at a guide on how to update your phone? Actually, I am quite sure you didn't or else you completely misunderstood everything you read. Neither is a good thing when trying to do something complicated like updating your phone unofficially.
1) You can't install a custom rom with stock recovery.
2) You didn't even download a rom - those are the Google Apps that are to be installed along with a custom rom like CyanogenMod.
3) You have to unlock the bootloader to install the custom recovery that will allow you to install updates not signed directly by Huawei.
I suggest you read through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198908
There are links in the later pages to a version of 4.4.2 from the Modaco forums, as well as links to the original firmware, which you will probably need to re-install if a factory reset doesn't help.

I'm new to all of this and I thought that the app that I downloaded could do it all in one operation.
I wanted to take a chance and see would happen, thinking that any consequences that may occur, could be fixed with a factory reset.
Thanks for the link and the advice.
I'll have a read, now
Is it a serious problem or is there any way to fix it?
I tryed unlocking the Bootloader in DC-Unlocker but to no avail.
Dear All , this method maybe already here somewhere ,
i have tried to root this specific device and i ran into many issues !
but successfully i have done it .
i'll upload the patched file here and i'll mention what method i have done ! ..
unlock boot loader is a must . ( Please read about it in google , All Samsung devices is the same method )
u might repeat the process to times until it successfully unlocked and greyed-out !
Next download this firmware only to be able to run the patched AP .
un-tick Auto-reboot before flashing .
once flash done , power + Volume down to restart , then volume up with power until u boot into the recovery
wipe data . restart . done
to make sure u have done every thing correctly u'll see RED massage once u boot you're device
Firmware ( This is UAE Firmware " T725XXS1ATC5_T725OJM1ASJ3_XSG " ) All Languages included . Link

Hi
Do I just need to use odin to flash the Firmware you mentioned then use ODIN again to flash the patched ap
I can just add that with this specific fw version and patched ap everything worked on LTE version but I might add my little deviations ...
1st original firmware flash (BL,AP,CP,CSC-non-home one) instantly followed by wipe data in recovery mode.
2nd After the initial setup + wifi connection I installed and updated magisk.
3rd "adb restart bootloader" (here i am not sure if it mattered but anyway) and flush again with the provided Patched AP File (BL,the_patched_AP,CSC - the home one this time ... using CP failed with modem err with me so I just skipped it here)
4th get trough the init setup again with wifi on and open magisk which will install more stuff.
The prerequisites still apply oem unlocked bootloader before you start and keep your battery at least 60-70% since the process drained mine a lot.
You know you are on the right track when you have warning with tablet bootloader is unlocked (at startup yellow) and tablet not running Samsung's official software (red after the first one)
Ive just bought this SM-T725 model android 11. There is no sign of OEM Unlock Bootloader under development. Does anyone know how I can unlock this.

The option only shows up when you are connected to the internet.
Thanks for reply mate, I got it figured. I also manage to get root and twrp recovery but not both at the same time. After flashing and using twrp recovery I then lose root after reboot and have to flash a patched magisk bundle over odin again. Bit inconvenient but I only intend using twrp now and then for backup/recovery.
Can you recommend a stable rom for this device - far too much google bloat on it for my liking. I tried latest lineage but found it unstable.

Just install LineageOS. Clean, no Bloat, everything smooth and you can have TWRP and Root/Magisk at the same time.
Depending on how much Google you want to have on your device, you might rather choose LOS+MG ( https://lineage.microg.org/) I can highly recommend it. You get rid of Google which debloats it even more and is a plus for your privacy but almost everything works (at leat for me. But migh depend on your needs)
If you like Google, just use normal LineageOS (https://lineageos.org) + GAPPS
Thanks for reply. Will try the LOS ROM later. Wish Google crap would disappear totally. I hate it enormously.
By the way which folder am I looking for on that LOS ROM download page
Ah gts4lv I presume

Recently switched to using MicroG Lineage. Timely enough, MicroG passes the SafetyNet now as per the instructions mentioned below and indicated in the attached screenshot. For the fingerprint, I had selected the T720 from the list.

Along with Aurora store installed as a service, I think you don't need Google anymore.

I'm having some problem here:
I can install LineageOS, I can root/Magisk, I can have TWRP, but not all together at once.
Can you help me on how to do this?
Working on a SM-T725 of course, actually rooted, lineage and TWRP installed, but my Magisk can't install modules, it seems it doens't have root privileges.
Thanks in advance for your answer
anybody have an updated one, the file has been archived on the said link... thanks in advance

I don't want to install a rom i want to keep miui
At the beginning of the instructions there is a short description how to root.
So, I'm Kinda Confused "If you want to root then copy the stock boot from the latest stock rom into internal and use magisk to patch it, then flash the patched boot in bootloader (fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img)"
So i take the miui boot and flash it after i installed this rom and restore a backup without restoring the boot.img ?
and we don't get updates foing that (we don't get updates when we unlock bootloader but why ? ) I Guess we just gotta accept the L here

With unlocked bootloader and root you will still get OTA Updates with Miui, you just need to root again after installing the update.

You don't have to install custom ROM to get root. If you are currently on MIUI 11.0.10, you download that exact ROM, unpack it and copy boot.img to your phone. Then you install Magisk manager and use it to patch boot.img. You will get a patched boot.img which you flash in fastboot.
Ok, Is there a way to backup 'cause it says "Unlock will erase user data"
EDIT: OK I found a way to backup using MIAssistant
EDIT 2: MIAssistant is outdated any way to backup ?
I don't know. I didn't have anything important to backup.

Ok I found that you can local backup from settings but what I'm worried is losing my efs partition hope it goes right I have joyuse (9 pro)
I have 9s and all went fine.
However, I installed the custom ROM from that thread and root as well.
Now, I have to wait 168 hours (one week) to unlock
That's normal but annoying.
Yea BUT *sniff* BUT *sniff* *sniff* WHY
(ded meme)
EDIT:. BTW what does oem unlocking in developer setting mean ?
And thanks a lot man I couldn't have done this without you.
Enable it to be on the safe side when you apply for unlocking even though I don't think it's necessary for official Xiaomi unlocking. I think it's for unofficial unlocking 'oem-unlock go' which I don't think works.
Is there Twrp For joyuse (9 pro ?) i searched the fornm and i couldn't find it.
The Only One i could find was https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...nt/recovery-unofficial-pbrp-recovery-t4137753

Just transfer the files you want to backup from your phone to PC and later copy back. Apps, SMS, call log, wifi passwords etc. are backed up to your Google account (if you have enabled backup/restore), you can backup some extra stuff in MiCloud too (I don't use it, don't wanna give em my data lol, it's enough that google has it).
FYI local backup will get wiped after unlocking.
I'd recommend you stay away from TWRP because there is no official version and it's unstable. I've read reports of people bricking their devices and losing widevine L1 after installing it. Just use Xiaomi's recovery and fastboot because they're enough for both rooting and installing custom ROMs.

Hi, sorry for my English. I made a very big DPI change on my Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and it is now bootloop in recovery. I need to unlock bootloader to retrieve files via TWRP or other. But the problem is that I didn't activate the Unlock Status on the Mi account... Is there any other alternative? I have very very important files. Thanks.
Without the bootloader unlocked you are unable to flash twrp to recovery. So I took the liberty of googling and found the following zip on crappy hardware reset. It's your choice, I just grabbed it for ya
Found here: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/xiaomi/xiaomi-mi-8-lite/faq/faq/xiaomi-bootloader-unlock-miui10/

I've already tried this, the problem is that I can't access my phone to activate the "Mi Unlock Status" option, I can't unlock the bootloader, is there any way to "get around" this Mi Unlock Status? Is there any way to recover deleted files after a hard reset on the phone?

Well, that depend on your data recovery skill's, but you most likely need to accept that you lost it all. However, you could try flashing stock again, but DONT wipe userdata etc, then use I think wondershare does data recovery... This is what I'd do in your situation.
If you can flash system without flashing anything else with your stock flasher, try that, it may just keep your files.
I was trying to unlock the bootloader, but I would need to activate that on the Mi account, but I don't have access to the phone
So as I said, try to reflash system.bin/.img ONLY, nothing else. This SHOULD get you back into your fone, but you need to use your STOCK flashing program, hopefully it allows you to flash just the system.img If you can do this, you wont lose your data. You do NOT need to unlock fone to reflash system.img if you get me.

My confusion starts with your statement "after rooting and deleting it".
What did you delete?
The gist of your posts seems to be: you did not unlock your bootloader; you tried to use PixelFlasher, but you gave it the wrong file -- you gave it a downloaded OTA file, which is an incremental update, but you were supposed to give it a full system file; somehow this resulted in you damaging your installation.
It is likely that you have already lost all data. If you have not already lost all data, it is likely that anything you do will destroy all data. If it is important to you to recover your data, find an official Google repair shop -- I do not know if your data can be recovered, but I expect an official Google repair shop to have the best chance.
If you accept the total loss of your data, and you want to try to fix the phone yourself, I think your best bet is to find a complete ROM image. It must be an official Google image. With the bootloader still locked, you will not be able to install any image that is not official.
There may be an easy way to install a ROM image. It would start with you booting your phone to recovery mode. This is not the same as booting Android, which you do not seem to be able to do. Try googling "pixel recovery mode".
I do not know if @badabing2003's PixelFlasher will help you. I think before you can use PixelFlasher you need to make sure you have properly installed "adb" and "fastboot". Start by reading instructions for PixelFlasher. Good luck.

He couldn't have done this in PF, PF will refuse to work with OTA image to do a full factory flashing.

Yes this is possible in PF,
Custom Flash
Select OTA image
Select SIDELOAD option
Flash
Root is not needed.
But if the device does not respond to adb commands because the author said he can't set the developer options and enable ADB, then it won't work.

I'm guessing "rooting" really meant "did something in an attempt to root".
I think the first question to answer is, how did he manage to damage his installed system when he hasn't unlocked the bootloader?
Although, if the words mean what they should, it *should* be possible to flash a random image with a locked bootloader, it just shouldn't be possible to boot it. But that is not the way the words seem to work with most of the people who post.
