Hello
I have a problem with MDZ-16-AB
About one year ago I updated soft and I have: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Nf9wBZ5E2tgwoUEX8
Then I wanted to change it but I could not enter to recovery mode (and I still have this problem)
I try with button combination, updated via Mi system and ADB command (ADB REBOOT RECOVERY using this USB M-M cable)
https://photos.app.goo.gl/wyuNhtfnL4gcFvKQ6
And it looks like that (can't enter to recovery mode) -> https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNHJzd16WZerX_HXqdJC2vnJbYrb5U8N5StL1K9
All the time I have information on main screen:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/fZ1Vmao8QCUZUw1J6
Is there any chance to enter recovery mode and flash other image ???
Despite the lack of ability to log in to recovery mode MI BOX works ok
BTW: Once I downgrade android so I have original bootloader -> file: "backup-256mb.img"
Thank you in advance for any help
Kris
something sounds strange...
"BTW: Once I downgrade android so I have original bootloader -> file: "backup-256mb.img""
When did you do this?......
and where did you get this backup-256mb.img
and how did you flash it?

Hi
When I bought it, it was Nougat 7.0 Beta installed on it. I downgrade to Marshmallow 6 -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...ic/xiaomi-mi-box-mdz-16-ab-downgrade-t3737186
I mentioned about this file because: "That is your lifeline to secure you don’t brick or lose functionality on your Mi Box."
Maybe it helps to fix my Mi box .

Once it is is flashed to Oreo, as shown in your screenshot, it is absolutely impossible to downgrade back to any earlier version.
Maybe you can perform 'full system reset' from settings menu.
Then try to invoke 'system update' from settings menu. If that succeeds you will be on latest Oreo 8.0 stable.
Beyond that, I regret I have forgotten all my many Xiaomi mdz-16-ab bag of tricks....

2. Enter Recovery mode (Volume Up + Power), select "Update firmware" and "Wipe data", then wait until the update is done

If the friend who made the share had caught this warning. Because no software is installed on the device.
what is the benefit going from A to G, and vice-versa?

The chinese version A has no audio resampling built in by default system wide and also gives acces to hidden nfc chip that is restricted to be used exclusively within meizu pay app - payment system in china, which in turn hasnt been launched yet. Not to mention the lack of ubiquitous google eye
It is actively discussed on russian forum 4pda.ru
hi
i have a deca-core note 4, but when i tried to update some mui or something via the update menu, it just came up with a blue chinese recovery mode after a reboot, so maybe someone can help me out with what to do next?
and if its deca-core(2.1ghz), then it is mediatek, not snapdragon? (i dont see any model numbers on the box)
i also managed to get into the fastboot mode with the white soviet bunny fixing the robot, but which tool should i use next then?
maybe something from here? - https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/guide-redmi-note-4-unlock-bootloader-t3517806
and which tool could i use to check if it's unlocked or not?
and if im already hacking the stuff around, should i already root it somehow then? currently im not even sure what is twrp and all of the other stuff... :s
(and the recovery mode had somekind of big alien head as a logo with some red text below it)
the stock version was also somekind of android 6.0, but can i somehow upgrade it to 7.0 then? (which i actually wanted to achieve via the update menu, but it only downloaded 104MB of mui update... and then crashed...)
thanks

Deca core means it's MediaTek which means your phone will never receive Android 7.
Which ROM are you actually trying to install?
it was just doing its own mui update, but then it did not boot anymore after the reboot and now i dont really know what do i need to do next... i did get it to fastboot mode, but i dont know what i need to do next and which files i need etc... (the main recovery mode seems to be in chinese, but i did notice the fastboot button in it... after the big alien head logo with some red text below it...)
how can i check if its unlocked and which recovery version should i go through then?:s
well, seems like it booted back up after i just switched the phone off overnight....
and now it wants to do another mui v9.5.2.0.mbfmifa stable update, 1,4gb.... so how was it even 104mb before...
(update includes global browser v9.5.6 to fix GDPR and FC(04-13), fix security exception(04-13) and fix reboot always after OTA update(04-13)...)
and the current version seems to be android 6.0 MRA58K (2018-02-05) with MUI global 9.5 Stable, 9.5.1.0(mbfmifa)...
but should i even bother with the update then or just use the phone as is?
(i did not see any OEM unlocking menu either, altho i did enable the developer options...)
well, if i would want to root it, then which procedure should i go through? and is there any rooting procedure for Mediatek chip anyway?

So lets begin.
Your phone is for sure mediatek since its decacore codenamed
NIKEL remember it for future use.
Doing stuff with a mtk device actually harder than a snapdragon(eg. xiaomi redmi note 4 snapdragon) and in my point of view and experience i have had chances of bricking a mtk are more, that doesnt mean that you will brick your device. So if you are ready to take the risk do it. You will be rewarded by being free from thr Miui, having a lot more battery,performance and upgrading to the latest Android 8.1 as well as some great tweaks!( I hate miui lol)
:Basic Info:
P.S.->(MAKE A BACKUP OF EVERYTHING AS YOUR DATA MIGHT BE ERASED IF YOU UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER.)
P.S.2-> (If my explaination is unclear forgive me as its almost 6 months that i erased miui from my phone)
Now for the procedure, go to settings->System->About Phone->Tap Build number 7 times.This will enable developer options.Go again to settings if i recall dev settings are generated before the System. Open Dev settings and scroll a little but, dont touch anything though. Spot a setting that says about OEM unlock,open it. If it says recovery locked its locked,otherwise unlocked.
Now if you want to unlock recovery you should apply for unlock permission here ( http://en.miui.com/unlock). Log in with your mi account read and follow the steps given. You will eventually apply for unlock permission after writing and accepting some stuff. At most you will wait 7 to 14 days till a message containing a code and further steps to unlocking bootloader will be sent to your phone number. You will need a pc for this and downloading miflashtool which you can find going to the page i gave you before. Follow the steps given and pray to god that everything will be fine.

ok thanks, i will probably try this when i have some more time, but the last link seems to be missing.
(and cpu-z also says that its mediatek helio x20, 2.11ghz, mt6797)
this phone use mt6739.so i want to flash it the twrp to my phone.i dunno to unlock the bootloader but the twrp file not have for this device.
I just saw this post as I too have a Honor 7S
There is NO TWRP for our device.
The TWRP for the Honor 7A/7C/7X and Honor 7 doesn't work on our device and you got to pay 4 euros to unlock the bootloader before you can even flash TWRP (and there isn't one)
This Device is treble compatible but now I've found out there is zero development and no Devs Interested in it it's a complete and utter waste of time and has gone back into its box, never to be seen again.
hi there, I get this phone recently (because is old) and I created twrp for i,t so here it is, if you want some fun
you can flash it via flashtool on locked bootloader in to boot partition and after that you push twrp.img via adb to internal storage and flash it in to erecovery and recovery slot, and you are good to go

Hi I have a problem. I'm having brom issues in trying to flash it
Hi
I thinking you dont have "Authentication file" so you using "mtksecurebootdisabler",
so you need patch your drivers with libusb "patch".
Try this one, for me it works.
So open libusb that you install.
connect your honor7s to the pc with disconnected batery and hold volume down.
in patch option select your usb mtk device "idk how is called" and patch it
after patching reconnect phone and it will works.

and little hint
dont flash whole rom if the phone can boot becasue after clean flash "format+download"
you lost log and cust partition because the image files are not secureboot signed and your phone get in to bootloop
and also you lost imei codes so no cellular after that
If you do so
you can fix it in that recovery were I enabled option to format log partition
after you format log to ext4, your phone will boot but without huawei/honor bootanimation
you dont need to worry about cust partition, if you didnt format it it still boot but without bootanimation and you lost some of garbage apps that are in that partition (amazon etc...)
(twrp boots in russian language, idk for now how to change it to boot in english or slovak lanuage (because Im from slovakia) and also it have Lenovo Logo becasuse I use sources from Lenovo A5 that have same cpu)
I will make in future separated thread for this....
Thanks alot for this.. I don't know maybe I should try the disconnected battery. But from a yt link I saw
The link : Honor 7s Dua-Al000
I wonder how his worked
I'll have to know how to disconnect the battery thou. I'm a noob at this.

Sorry for the noob question but after patching with the battery disconnected. When I want to use spflash tools would I still use disconnect the battery to flash the recovery and co.

you can patch it or flash it without disconecting the battery
Here is how:
turn it off
Push and hold volume down
While holding volume down connect usb cable
But is recomended to disconect battery because the phone can boot up instead to go in flash mode.

Well he did with the battery and he add more steps that are not necessary for flashing, like scanning for COM port etc...
When I first try flash my 7s I download flashtool and didn't change any settings, I just load the rom and flash it.
So you must try to find your best way how to do and I will help you
And I wonder how he can flash the Log and Cust partition via flashtool, Maybe he have unlocked bootloader or something
Update: he have in the video description link for "lib usb" but didn't show it in video, or I'm just blind or something

At this point. Might just abandon it. Thanks for everything. Ran into laptop issue on my third trial lol.
Yeah I see, drivers issues, it happens to me too, but I install windows 7 and everything works... but I think is not worth it to format your laptop and install win7 only for this mediatek crap, where you can't unlock bootloader or anything because Huawei trying to protect customers and they believe that their android is best for they're phones

Honestly. I spend a whole night researching videos for the phone. Only to get that link I send. And after all that. It still didn't work. Lol. I have a Poco x3 pro. I wonder if snapdragon android 12 can be rooted. Probably going to try it next month or so.
Snapdragon is eazy for root.
I have Redmi note 11 and it was easy, now I running on Android 13 from stock android 11, if you will need some help with something, I'm here, and I think there is device forum so there is community for that device
Hello!
Okay so I recently updated my S9+ to the latest Android Pie version and I've cleaned up all of my stuff, so it's basically new.
When I enter download mode and plug it into my PC (Yes, I have the USB drivers installed as Odin 3.13.1 detects it) and try to flash twrp-3.2.3-0-star2lte.img.tar it leads to FAIL! A message in the phone screen appears after trying to flash: "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
Already have enabled USB debugging and nothing. The only thing that seems weird to me is that I can't see the enable OEM unlock option in the developers tab. Maybe I have to wait the 7 day period as in Oreo 8.0? I doubt it because when I enter download mode, in the top left corner it appears "OEM lock: off"
So all in all, I don't know what to do, I'd like to flash TWRP in order to be able to flash a good Kernel (and maybe magisk root in the near future) which helps my phone to perform better and save as much battery as possible. I'm open to recommendations. If theres another way to flash the kernel (I've already tried ADB and Fastboot but my PC can't detect my phone connected when I do "fastboot devices" it doesn't matter if I'm in download mode or in the home screen, can't be detected either way and already tried to go to Device Manager but "Other devices" tab doesn't appear there.
Thank you so much and I hope you can lend me a hand
Please read the pie thread, this is mentioned many times. There is currently no Twrp image available for pie
Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Pie is in a beta phase yet. Also, we are talking about builds coming in the last couple of weeks and to selected regions only. Under these circumstances, how would anyone except proper TWRP? Maybe after the final pie version, next year.
This is a quite common problem for pie beta firmware on S9(+). Try a factory reset or look for OEM Unlock 7 days bypass method on google to restore the OEM Unlock switch.
The OEM Lock status on download mode just seems to be always set to off.
Hello there!
I am running BLA-AL00 10.0.0.180(C00E181R1P4patch01).
Recently I wanted to downgrade to EMUI 9 to unlock the bootloader (I have the code) and here are my failed attempts:
1.Downgrade via dload with OTG
2.Use HiSuite 'System Repair', which popped up with 'No available fix for your device' (btw actually I managed to use this method before, but Huawei seems to block this)
3.Cheat HiSuite to downgrade with Firmware Finder's DNS update (see: link, ended up with ‘failed to install‘, I think this didn't passed verification)
So...are there any other possible ways to downgrade? Thanks a lot!

You don't need to "cheat" hisuite. Just launch hisuite, connect your phone via usb cable, and click on update button. Hisuite will scan for updates and there should be a tab saying previous versions. Just click on it and you should be able to downgrade. Using the dload method and "cheating" hisuite is a great example on how to brick your phone as thats how I managed to brick my huawei(still trying to unbrick). Also what Hisuite "System repair". I only know system recovery or are you referring to that?

Yes, I managed to downgrade via the normal method...
I thought it won't be OK to use this way... because I previously found the 'previous version' tab gone...(about one year ago)
And yes, I mean system recovery. My HiSuite is in Chinese so I just give it a direct translation lol.
Also I often use eRecovery to unbrick, maybe try it out? (I don't know whether international versions have this function or not...)
Problem solved! Thanks a lot!
Now my phone is running Lineage 18! Feeling great!
Can you please explain how did you do that ? I want to get rid of this emui

I got the lineage GSI rom from my friend, I actually doesn't know it's source, seems phh-treble.
NFC doesn't work, and this rom also has a potential storage problem. (actually I don't know whether it is caused by me or not) Just a week ago the rom broke my data partition and I have to reset. Now I have returned to EMUI. The rom is vanilla, and device model doesn't show probably. GAPPS can be installed via TWRP but device model, I tried, can't be modified without Magisk. The rom contains su as well.
If you truly want it, I can upload it to Gdrive. Now I want to downgrade to EMUI 8 and then I can use Openkirin roms, or search for another fit rom.
