ADS on Lockscreen and other stuff

Hi guys,
I've just bought a Mi 4i for my gf and we discovered that on her device are 3 bugs which I can't solve (without rooting and all this stuff that she hates and I love)
1) ADS on lockscreen, I've tried with many different ads finder, but none find something.
2) We can't create a MiAccount, when we push the "create Mi account" nothing happen.
3) She has the phone since nearly 1 month but no update comes out (the updater says MIUI 7 LXIMICI 77.00.33.00).
Any suggestion?

I'm guessing you are buying from a third party. Flash back Miui 7 using fastboot and all will be normal, make sure to backup everything..

Using the updater to flash the stock version is not enough?
If it is not, where i can find the img for the Mi 4i (ferrari)?

[MOD] Enable wireless tether 5x - flashable

All,
I already know there is a 'guide' on how to do this, however, that is a manual process that one must perform every time we do a system update, or whatever.
I created a flashable you can flash in recovery that will write the line is it does not exist. I have tested this a few time on my 5x, and it works flawlessly, simple, and easy.
This is only for stock 5x unmodified build.prop file. This MAY work on the 6p but not making any promises on that one.
Also this ONLY modifies the build.prop file only if need be
Best Regards

This is great and all, but do you know if you can add the last extra line in? It's for us Sprint users, the whole put global tether thing.

Yes, with the space. I don't know if the other half is needed (adb shell settings put) but maybe someone could test it for you? Not me because I already have tethering set up on my phone and will be away from my computer for the rest of this month

I was just reading the following guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-how-to-unlock-tethering-nexus-5x-t3231301
On page 5 i believe people are stating that this is unnecessary to get tether to work.
I already asked in that thread what that does, because in my testing it does not do anything for wifi tether. I'm still on VZW with grandfathered unlimited plan. I can't say about sprint users. Maybe one will chime in that successfully got it to work and if that line is really needed.

I don't know how to implement that command into a flashable zip file atm. I will have to ask around, most likely tomorrow i will post it in the general section.
I am wondering if that writes to some file, and if so what. I am thinking possibly an xml file.
Maybe one of the XML file within: system\customize ? idk, but it sounds like it would write something somewhere.
If i could examine a sprint rom.zip I might be able to locate it if it has it enabled

That's the thing, there are no specific Sprint ROMs. All ROMs are the same, but when it comes to service that's where things get mucky with this. So maybe it is something within a data provision XML or something. Because without that line, yes, tethering is enabled, but it doesn't connect. After that line is implemented, then everything works as normal.

Has anyone tried it on T-Mobile?

Where you able to get the zip to work on Sprint? Thanks so much for creating this!

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to use this on my nexus 5x. I'm looking over the instructions on the nexus 5x beginner's tutorial, and was wondering how you actually run this script. I've performed the` manual tethering = true` thing before, but i haven't figured out how to use this one. I've restored everything to factory state and the only thing different from OEM is that the Bootloader is unlocked. I've tried to `adb sideload` the zipfile, but i get an error stating "verification failed, installation aborted" error. Thanks a lot for your help guys

If you want to use it, you must enable OEM unlock in developer options, and unlock bootloader in fastboot mode, and flash TWRP.

What actually does this mod?

Hey CNBLACK,
I believe I did what you've detailed. If it makes sense- this is what i did from completely stock.
1) Unlock USB debugging, and eventually unlock the bootloader
2) Reboot into fastboot mode,
3) fastboot boot TWRP-3.1.~ (whatever the latest build is)
4) adb sideload/install Enable_tether.zip
5) reboot.
The reboot stays on the 4 dot animation screen for 5+ minutes. Should i be waiting longer, or did I make a mistake during the TWRP flashing section? Thanks again for your help!

Update #2: Alright, in order for everything to work, i had to root my phone... So yes, it works for me now
Update: it eventually booted up after doing aforementioned steps. However hotspot will still not work- it still checks for subscription status. I'm running the Android 8.0.0 Security patch level: Sept 5, 2017 Build number: OPR4.170623.006.

This MOD's goal is to enable your nexus 5x to be used as a wifi hotspot without having to pay for the "upgrade" with your wireless provider. Not sure if it's just me, but even with the line
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

in my build.prop, my phone still checks for subscription status, and therefore will not allow me to start a hotspot.

Tested method to repair bricked Honor 6

Some time ago I bought a Honor 6 bricked by a firmware upgrade.
I done some reading, I asked friends but I couldn't fix it. I opened a topic here and many people tried to help me. Nothing worked... I contacted some experienced people from this, and a Romanian forum, but no success. I was trying to fix it for 2 months now.
Eventually, I came across a solution made by DC-Unlocker Team.
I bought some credits to be able to run the solution and with a few mouse clicks my phone was repaired. Now it works perfectly. I do have some questions to ask about several issues in Honor 6, but let me describe how I fixed my phone with this solution.
I would like to underline that I am in no way related to the DC-unlocker Team.
The software can repair most of the Honor firmware problems:
Bricked phones, bootloop, stuck in fastboot mode
It can write full firmware update.app in fastboot mode
Can flash phones with locked bootloader or FRP. (No need to get the bootloader unlock code)
The whole procedure is detailed here, but let me describe the steps which I took. I also attach few screenshots of the process.
1. Make sure, that you install Huawei Hisuite (for drivers), or Universal ADB driver.
2 Enter fastboot mode on the phone and connect it to your computer. Remove the SD card if there is one installed in the phone.
3. Check if computer detects the phone is fastboot mode, run fastboot devices command
4. The firmware repair process will need 15 credits (which will cost 15 euro). You can buy the credits here
Credits are deducted immediately, but you can flash the same phone any time you want for 72 hours.
5. After you buy the credits, download the software client here
Supported models and features here
6. Start the program. It will ask your credentials for the DC-unlocker server. You receive those credentials when you buy the first time credits.
7. In the DC Phoenix software, select fastboot mode, select "App files" tab.
8. Carefully chose the update.app for recovery. Be careful, not to flash a different hardware variant (in a H60-L12 flash only H60-L12 firmware and so on). Not doing so will probably break your phone forever. The program does not check compatibility, nor the phone in this mode.
9. Open the update app by clicking right end of the line "Update file".
10 Click "Update". Program will unpack the update.app and will start to flash all the chosen img packs.
Here I got really scared, because first write was unscuccessful, I got this message: "PTABLE partition UPDATE ... FAILED
I thought that I threw away my money. But program managed really well: "Activating Backdoor: DONE"
After this step, everything went well: "Writing device finished OK"
11. Power cycle your phone. It should start normally.
12. On the dc-unlocker site they say: "Then you need to repeat flashing, but now in upgrade mode". I did not ran this step. I made a full factory reset and started OTA upgrades. Phone is now version: EMUI4.0.1_H-60-L12_6.11.1.
It has Android 6, EMUI 4.0.1.
At one moment I thought that is better to go back to a previous version and flashed an older tested firmware, it worked without any problems..
Although my experience is limited to this phone only, I recommend this solution. Please feel free to ask, I will try to answer any questions.

So the software deactivates itself after 72h?

Hi
The recovery process starts only after validated by the server.
Validation occurs when you have enough credits on your account, or if you already paid for that phone not more than 72 hours ago.

No, there are no refunds, but if you have a phone with only firmware error and you chose the right firmware, there are big chances that the program will recover your phone.
But if security damaged, you will need factory file.
method 2 can help in 99% cases, but only if there 100% compatible file.
They have only H60-L04 factory file.
Repairing by this method, will erase phone security data (simlock, IMEI and other numbers)
You will lose all numbers!, IMEI will be 0000000000000000
You can repair missing numbers with third party software, like HCU client
You can use DC-unlocker credits on HCU client, software will require 8 credits for repair service.

Thanks. When there's no other solution it might be handy.

i'm intrested in this.
I have an Honor 6 plus pe-ul00 i can't fix the brick.
with that can i flash any firmware for my device (pe-ul00) and get it to work?

Hi!
I don't see this device on the supported phones list.
You should contact their support to confirm if the program works with your device.
They are very kind and helpful. If you need a contact email, I can send in private.

It seems that you did not understand me.
If you read this topic you will learn that in some cases, flashing back the 4 img's will not help.
In some cases you cannot access 3 button recovery or TWRP (although you flashed it correctly), to be able to do a complete flash write.
This was the case when this program (which you call a scam!) proved a life-saver.
I am very happy that I could restore my phone because I like it very much.

Yep, the SW works OK ..
First it extracts the IMG files from the UPDATE.APP - same as Huawei Update Extractor. Then it flashes all IMG files (+-) using fastboot - but here is the catch.. it uses an undocumented feature of fastboot:
fastboot.exe oem backdoor get
And then generates the necessary unlock file/sequence which it then feeds to the phone using:
fastboot.exe flash slock XXX_Unlockcode.bin
So indeed it does work - I've used it, you can go between EMUI3.1 and 4.0/0.1 no problem - if we knew how to generate the unlock file for the "backdoor" - we would be all set However we don't and the generated file changes with every "oem backdoor get" request..
But 15EUR seems almost reasonable for this (I'd prefer 10EUR hehe) - otherwise, we would need to use parted and dd the necessary partitions which is more dangerous and we don't have a large enough community of users to dump the necessary partitions..

It worked! Fail on normal flash the It issued that damn BACKDOOR install and now i'm back!
Got only 2 "problems":
1. I got 2 IMEI CODES
2.I can't see all my internal storage:
I tried a wipe internal storage + factory reset with emui rec and with twrp, but nothing. TWRP say something like: Can't wipe ..data/... No such directory
Inviato dal mio PE-UL00 utilizzando Tapatalk

I will think about this issue, but a quick idea is: you could try a full firmware update from SD card with the 3 button method and a factory restore after.

Happy to hear that buddy... I threw away a honor 6 about two months ago, was stuck in fastboot for more than a month, if had it, I am sure, this would have fixed it.:crying:

Another Honor 6 saved with this method, this time a H60-L02

I guess you really threw away your money, because you can extract the update.app with huaweiupdateextractor( free ) and flash the cust.img system.img boot.img and recovery.img with adb and fastboot. But if you had the “Command not allowed error“ when you try to flash, even your software wouldnt have helped you, because it basically does the same as i explained above.

Google install on EMU 10.1.1.xxx

Hello
Im searching for a solution to install Google on a devie with EMUI 10.1.1.146
I have a P40 Lite 5G and i was trying some Videos from YT but every time se thame problem.
LZ Play doesn't work wih this EMUI.
I think that is a Global problem with this new EMUI.
Have anybody an idea ????
Thx

Just bought a P40 lite 5g myself on ebay and I'm having the same problem. Like an idiot I updated EMUI when i first started the phone, and now I can't roll it back or install google services as LZ Play won't work. Really nice phone, I think I will just sell it though and get a Xiaomi Pocophone F2 instead. Too much of a headache messing about for days with these youtube video instructions that don't work.

Hi.
wait some time i think it will be a New method.
All other phones will get the Update an will have se same solution.
That's while i think there will be a new solution.
The Phone is realy nice.
I think to have Google on a Huawei Smartphone is interest of Google <=> Huawei
Huawei want to sell phones
Google want to earn money with apps

you can try this
And soon I will release this tool

hello.
I have tried it with the date but it doesn't work.
got the same mesage.
Your Tool in the Video looks amazing.
i hope it will Do a good work.
did You test it on a device with the newest emui like my Phone?
thx

Do you have some screenshot of the error? Just to check what's happening
Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

That's the error

OK, try this
make sure you have:
-no sim card inserted
-language is set to english
-factory reset (because I see you have previously ran a manual installation and services and other components are installed as normal apps) - or delte them manually
-connect to wifi
-restore the "chinese app" using hisuite
put DATE back to 20.06.2020 and disable automatic time
run the "chinese app" and try again
I'll retry with the procedure because I need to FR anyway for the development, can't remember if that was the message I got (your device is not supported when translated)

What Backup to use from Match oder April?
thx

Use the one from this video
this restore should give you a valid lzplay with data

So i have done all
Frist Tab ... error message
changing date
second Tab...error message
The error mesage says that the device is not compatible (trabslate with Google from Chinese)
I think that the Main Problem ist the EMUI 10.1.1

No, this will not fix your phone sadly, it relies on LZplay as all of them, LZplay was that "backdoor" that allowed it. You can try to find some downgrade rom or tutorial (maybe this one I linked, can't be for sure since I have the older emui)

Thank You for Your Support.
With the HiSuite i can't go back toa a previous Version of the EMUI.
So i understand that in the moment i'ts difficult to find a solution.
Today i will try it a few Times with the solution you told me yesterday.

After some tries today still the same.
It doesn't work ?

Yeah, sadly you can't do anything there, unless there is a firmware (older one). One could try downloading adb, running "adb logcat -f /sdcard/log.txt" , running lzplay and after the error pops up press Ctrl-c in command prompt. Maybe the log will tell more

Xiaomi M11 Ultra, Cannot restore. TWRP?

Ok here we go. I bought this new. I did a deleted Magisk which I should of not done. Somehow the root is screwed up. I am trying to get in the phone to restore it to like I bought it. There was an issue when I bought it with Magisk. Something about it needed to be an app. Anyway, When I do a reboot I have a choice of Reboot, Recovery, Soft Reboot , Bootloader. I want to flash a rom again and fix the Magisk so it has no errors. I have read and tried the different way to do this. I installed TWRP but cannot get it to come up on a boot because there is no home button on my phone. Any suggestions?

You can start from scratch and install the official ROM that's supposed to be on your phone via miflash
Then you can start fresh on ROM of your choice and clean install of twrp and magisk etc

I was wanting to unroot the phone and it was supposed to unroot it when you uninstall Magisk. There already was an issue with Magisk from the start wanting it to be an app instead of a system app. Things went down from there. I have fastboot, recovery on it now. Just want to be able to download some apps that won't install because of root detection. Now I have a corrupted root thanks to Magisk.

You don't sound like you have put in much effort tbh
You should read more and watch some of those video tutorials before doing things that break your phone

The phone is not bricked. I cannot find the firmware for this phone. Weird. I have looked a a lot of firmware and cannot find one for this phone. it says M11 Ultra and Redmi Note 2 (hermes) the Android OS is 10 but the hermes I see are 5.0. Too old os. I do watch the videos. When I got this phone it already was not right with the rooting it came with. I did not want rooting because I cannot download certain apps I use. I went through the steps to delete root through deleting Magisk but from there it went to ****. The phone works. But there is corrupted root and fastboot keeps tapping out when I boot to it. Also Magisk was updated to 23.1 at the start and there was a conflict with that. Had I known this phone was rooted I would of never bought it. Also not sure if bootloader is open. My PC sees it just fine communicating with the phone through a program I have not figure out. What I have tried does not work. I don't need an ass chewing here. I just asked for some help. Thanks

You should read more and watch some of those video tutorials before doing things that break your phone

Yes I have put effort for a week now. I assume I need the fastboot rom to get this. I cannot get TWRP to even come up on the phone. Fastboot always does.

I also want to add there is no where in the developer options that I can turn on the OEM. What I watch on the videos is NOT on the phone I have. I do have debug on the computer sees the phone. thats it.

The phone is not bricked. I cannot find the firmware for this phone. Weird. I have looked a a lot of firmware and cannot find one for this phone. it says M11 Ultra and Redmi Note 2 (hermes) the Android OS is 10 but the hermes I see are 5.0. Too old os. I do watch the videos. When I got this phone it already was not right with the rooting it came with. I did not want rooting because I cannot download certain apps I use. I went through the steps to delete root through deleting Magisk but from there it went to ****. The phone works. But there is corrupted root and fastboot keeps tapping out when I boot to it.

Check and make sure "USB Debugging" is on under Developer Options. Once this done, from the command prompt, execute "adb reboot recovery". This will take you to recovery (TWRP in your case).

When you get to Setting, in the search bar type "OEM" and it will list "OEM Unlocking" in the search result. Clicking on this should help you get to OEM Unlocking option.

How much did you pay for it?
It cannot be a Redmi note 2 and a mi 11 ultra at the same time....
It sounds like the other said, a fake phone

The phone works fine but its rooted and I don't want root. This all started because I followed what it said about removing root. Just do it through Magisk. That did NOT work. From there corrupt root. As for phone It works. But I cannot use my banking and investment apps on a rooted phone. That is the problem.

confirmed
/btw: M11 not Mi 11 rofl

MTK6595, not much hope of resolving this without getting hold of seller and finding out the ROM producer and probably flashing again on a formatted system ( there are so many but a search on a browser may help). Flashing MTK systems are not hard, just need the correct ROM and leave it unrooted using SP flash tools. There are plenty of rooting bids for mtk's, so may be you can unroot too using the guides from a browser search. Unless you can return as an item not as described for a refund.
