how much time I'm supposed to have the test point shorted? I've been trying to do it but the phone just keeps vibrating over and over. BTW my phone does enter into fastboot, just keeps failing to boot

I managed to flash it using another method successfully, but when I put the Sim it just fails and doesn't boot again. I will try again, but maybe my phone it's just broken

Is there any difference between testpoint EDL flash & fastboot flash?
Reason for me to ask is that I have been using TP EDL flash on my bootlooping Mi Max 2 using stable global as well as China ROMs but the device could not boot past the Android logo. I cld not use fastboot as my bootloader is locked.
So, for fastboot flash, does it do any extra steps internally vs the TP EDL flash?
Thks

Hello,
I have used the Testpoint EDL flash, it show flash done (success). But when i powered on the phone it still takes me back to MI-Recovery 3.0 mode. Which other methods is available for to use?

Stuck on Recovery
ive got stuck on recovery mode. and i using this method with china stable rom since it was the recommendation for this kind of problem. It showed success on flashing tools but when i try to turn on the phone, it still on recovery mode but the difference just this time, in china language. can anyone help me with this problem

Hi, I have a Redmi 5 Plus and it was stuck in bootloop and its bootloder is locked, I tried all of the steps above but it displays an error:
:resdump:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><data><log value="start 131072, num 172032" /></data><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><data><response value="ACK" rawmode="true" /></data><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><data><log value="Read back verify failed at sector -807616340,num sectors 131072" /></data><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><data><log value="Finished sector address 131072" /></data><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><data><response value="NAK" rawmode="false" /></data>
This was taken from the log, due to this error, the flashing process was unsuccessful. I used MIFlash Tool 2020.3.14.0, and a China ROM because the phone originally has China ROM. The phone underwent EDL Mode and was flashed with fastboot ROM, but to no avail. There's no problem in its driver (Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3) when it was connected to the laptop because it was detected by the computer.
Attached here is the log, and the screenshot of the log of the flashing process. I hope you can help me this issue

Can you further elaborate pleases?

So essentially, xiaomi will check your device firmware info to prevent you from downgrading without permission, so one way to get around this is actually modding the loader file and the flash program to bypass this check

How can I perform the process of: "modding the loader file and the flash program to bypass this check?"
What I am doing is through MI Flash, I am flashing the firmware I got from the Internet

What you need to have:
- MTK Smart Phone Flash Tool, which you can download from https://spflashtool.com/download/
- Android Platform Tools
- For Windows users, patched OST LA: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1n91aYT9Di6_v4F3Wjlv8TjfeLc64AcYA and MediaTek USB Port driver, which is easy to find
- Nokia X5 Chinese firmware and Global conversion firmware: https://fih-firmware.hikaricalyx.com/fihsw_en.html

Because few critical partitions are included in this backup, this will ensure you can restore them.
Download "PDA-114A-0-00WW-B01" and extract it.
Open Smart Phone Flash Tool, choose the Download Agent file and Scatter File in the unpacked PDA-1100 firmware.
DO NOT USE DOWNLOAD AGENT FROM THE FLASH TOOL ITSELF!

Then pick "Readback" tab, add a category.
Double click this category, and choose the location you want to save the backup.
Use any text editor to open the scatter file, and find "userdata". You'll need the start address of userdata as the length of the full backup.
After it properly set, click "Read Back", then power off your phone and connect your phone to PC with both volume keys pressed and holded.
When you see a progress bar moving, you can release both keys and wait for the procedure complete.
Disconnect your phone when procedure completed.
Part 2: Flash PDA-1100 global firmware
Return to download tab, choose "Firmware Upgrade" in the download options, click "Download", then power off your phone and connect your phone to PC with both volume keys pressed and holded.
When you see a progress bar moving, you can release both keys and wait for the procedure complete.

Note: If you're using fastboot included in OST LA, use .\fastboot-android instead of .\fastboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Code:
.\fastboot reboot-bootloader
Type this command to confirm your phone's Serial Number, in this example the serial number is PDAGAM0123456789:

Google a website to calculate the md5 checksum of the serial number, for example, the md5 checksum of PDAGAM0123456789 is bb1bfc95418f51dc906462554d71313a.
Now type following command to grant service permission:
Code:
.\fastboot --set-active=a
.\fastboot reboot-bootloader
.\fastboot oem dm-verity (your_md5_checksum)
In this example:
Code:
.\fastboot --set-active=a
.\fastboot reboot-bootloader
.\fastboot oem dm-verity bb1bfc95418f51dc906462554d71313a
Type following commands to confirm and modify SKUID. Following commands are case sensitive:
Code:
.\fastboot oem CustomerSKUID get
.\fastboot oem CustomerSKUID set 600WW
.\fastboot oem CustomerSKUID get
Type following commands to reflash stock lk and reboot:
Code:
.\fastboot flash lk_a G:\PDA-114A-0-00WW-B01_unpacked\PDA-0-114A-00WW-lk.img
.\fastboot reboot
Part 4: Install PDA-209B update manually.

Nope, bootloader unlock is not required.
You can just convert your phone, that's it.

Thanks for your sharing! May I know if I want to convert back to Chinese firmware, only I need to do is finishing "Part 2: Reflash Chinese PDA-021G firmware“ correct?

the first, in step 1, the backup cannot complete and the message show "aborted".
The second, in step 2, I cannot extract the nb0 file. please extract and upload the zip file.

Download an unpack the PDA-102A-0-00CN-B07 firmware with nb0 tools developed by @heineken78
When you change the SKUID, change it to 600CN instead of 600WW, and the lk filename is different from global PDA-1100 as you will find out.

Yes you can, but you need to unpack PDA-102A-0-00CN-B07.nb0 and follow the guide, but change the SKUID to 600CN instead of 600WW.
And you need to flash a different lk file which you'll find out.

- In your TWRP, open the Terminal (in "Advanced").
- Enter this two commands :
Code:
simg2img /sdcard/persist.img /sdcard/persist_EXT4.img
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/persist_EXT4.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist
- Reboot your smartphone.

I got this problem when I restored my Miui backup after try a Custom Android 10 ROM. At each smartphone boot, I got the message "Find Device storage corrupted. Your device is unsafe now", fingerprint unlock was set on "Off", and registered fingerprint(s) was deleted. When I added a new fingerprint, it was registered (until the next boot), but didn't work.
If you do a little research, you can find a other method on some websites where you use fastboot to flash persist.img. I tried and sadly it not work ("FAILED (remote: Error: This image isn't allow download)"):

I had the same error and found 2 ways to solve it:
1st:
I had flashed the MIUI 11 Rom from August 27 2019. I simply replaced it by the latest stable EU Rom and the error disappeared . Next I flashed the Rom from August 27th back.
2nd:
Find device storage corrupted your device is unsafe now
1. You need Unlocked Bootloader and TWRP. You can boot in TWRP instead of flashing it.
2. Download the fastboot ROM for the device. Extract it and copy persist.img file to the internal memory of the phone. Make sure put the file in internal storage rather than in any folder.
3. Put the phone in fastboot Mode, Power Button and Volume Down key.
4. Boot in TWRP by "fastboot boot twrp.img" command.
5. In the TWRP Main Menu. Go to Advanced ------ Terminal
6. Write the below 2 lines:
simg2img /sdcard/persist.img /sdcard/persist_EXT4.img
dd if=/sdcard/persist_EXT4.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist
7. Reboot the Phone and check.

So the solution is to log in to the device on Mi account with the mi account used to unlock the device. So basically you can unlock again the device but with the same Mi account used on the first attempt. If normal log in to Mi account is not possible, try to log in using google (press google icon on the bottom-you must have Google account in the phone, and it must be linked with mi account. After that i just launched miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.24 and it worked instantly.
I didn't add mi account to mi unlock status even and still was working.
So the key is mi account used for device unlock for the first time- ( DIDN`T WORKED WITH OTHER MI ACCOUNTS)

buy the way this is the solution for UNLOCKING DEVICE, after that is easy, just install Minimal ADB and Fastboot and download recovery for your phone, put recovery in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder and open Minimal ADB and Fastboot and run command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after that fastboot boot recovery.img
and you are in TWRP - from there is easy to ,,fix find device storage is corrupt" if you have that error...

Alternatively, you can flash it with twrp. Copy persist image to internal storage, boot to twrp, select "Flash Image" by pressing the big button located at lower right, select the image file and upon selection the twrp shows another window to choose what are you flashing. Choose "Persist" and slide to flash, it takes just one or two seconds and after that just reboot. I had this problem earlier and fixed by completing these steps.

Should I Format All + Download??

-glyne- said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NO.
Never try to flash in "format all" mode.
Or you will lose all identifications of your device, like imei and mac.
If you are facing "PMT changed" message, your device has an older scatter file inside it.
This is because there is any modification to the scatter file you are using to the scatter file used before.
There are some minor changes to the MIUI 11 scatter file for MIUI 12, but nothing significant.
You can flash using "firmware upgrade" mode.
But, bootloader will be LOCKED again and userdata will be erased.
If you want to backup the state of unlocked bootloader and then restore it.
Just follow this guide before the "firmware upgrade": https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-10x-4g-xiaomi-redmi-note-9.4221065/

Or if firmware upgrade doesn't work, he can backup IMEI, after format and flash is done, He can flash the persist, protect1 protect2 nvdata and nvcfg partitions which he backup-ed, this way he doesn't lose IMEI, successfully unbricks device.

Try other combinations, like vol up or vol up + vol down.
I'm not sure, I'm on global 12.0.6.0 and the combination for EDL mode is just vol down.

Crossflash guide for AT&T LG V60​Firstly I wanna give a special thanks to DK and @kim12355 (Mama Tao), without them this guide wouldn't be possible. Also great thanks to all guys on the Telegram Group. This guide was based on tbl-locksmiths's and @crimsonrommer's work.
This guide's purpose is to have your device crossflashed, not rooting or unlocking the bootloader. Doing this guide will grant you the latest and greatest LG software while also having safetynet enabled and L1 widevine (which is required for streaming HD content from netflix, for instance).
note: this method was tested on my own personal V60. This may work on other variants, although not tested.
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is... still valid?
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about this guide before doing it!
* YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger
* at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
With that out of the way, let's begin. This guide will contain four sections. You can see them down below. They are useful on their own.
1 - Backing up your data​1.1 Prerequisites​1.1.1 QFIL Setup​1.1.1.1 QFIL FireHose Setup​1.1.1.2 QFIL Build Setup​1.2 Backing up your data with QFIL​1.2.1 Entering into 9008 mode​1.2.2 Connecting Phone to QFIL​1.2.3 Backing up partitions​1.2.4 Loading backed up partitions​2 - Loading custom bootloader​2.1 Prerequisites​2.2 Loading custom bootloader​3 - Crossflashing​3.1 Prerequisites​3.2 Backing up and erasing partitions​3.3 Flashing rom with LGUP​4 - Fixing Serial Number and NT Code​4.1 Prerequisites ​4.2 Finding out your serial​4.3 Patching your new ftm​
--------------------- ||| ---------------------​
1 - Backing up your data​1.1 Prerequisites​For this section you'll only need:
QPST
Qualcomm Drivers
Firehose
Firstly, install QPST and Qualcomm Drivers. In qualcomm drivers, select WWAN. From QPST, You'll need the QFIL utility.
1.1.1 QFIL Setup​
Spoiler: 1.1.1.1 QFIL FireHose Setup
Open up QFIL. First go to Configuration -> FireHose Configuration and click it. Configure it like shown:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Spoiler: 1.1.1.2 QFIL Build Setup
note: You need to do this step every time QFIL opens.
On QFIL initial screen, select "Flat Build" as the build type.
Under the Select Programmer section, on the Programmer Path field, click Browse... and choose the Firehose file.
1.2 Backing up your data with QFIL​
Spoiler: 1.2.1 Entering into 9008 mode
Firstly make sure to have your device connected to your PC.
Follow these steps:
Hold (Vol -) and (Power) until the phone shuts down
After the phone screen shuts down, keep pressing the two previous buttons, and tap quickly on (Vol +) to enter 9008 mode. You know you entered it when your PC makes a "device connected" sound.
Spoiler: 1.2.2 Connecting Phone to QFIL
After entering 9008 mode with your phone, open up QFIL, set it up (see 1.1.1), and click on Select Port.., you'll see your device named as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
click OK and you're done connecting.
Spoiler: 1.2.3 Backing up partitions
After setting up your device and connecting it to QFIL, it is now time to back up your phone.
Go to Tools -> Partition Manager
Confirm that you put the correct firehose file for the LG V60
Now it is time to back up your partitions.
Pick a partition, right click and click on Manage Partition Data
The Raw Data Manager window will open, you click Read Data... to save the partition to your PC.
By default, QFIL saves the partition data to %appdata%\Qualcomm\QFIL\COMPORT_X\ where X is your COM Port number.
Once you access the folder, rename it so you can organize it your self.
Tip: sort by modification date, it will make handling these files easier
If you are doing a full backup, I suggest you to backup all your partitions, except userdata (this one contains user info, and it is very big to back up and transfer it via USB).
Spoiler: 1.2.4 Loading backed up partitions
If something went wrong, you can always flash back your backed up partitions. Open up QFIL and follow these steps:
Go to Tools -> Partition Manager
Confirm that you put the correct firehose file for the LG V60
Now it is time to load your backed up partitions.
Pick a partition, right click and click on Manage Partition Data
Click on Load Image... and select your backed up partition.
2 - Loading custom bootloader​
2.1 Prerequisites
QFIL Set up (see 1.1.1)
Custom ABL
Spoiler: 2.2 Loading custom bootloader
Firstly go to QFIL's partition manager (see 1.2.2 and 1.2.3)
We will be overwriting the device's bootloader (abl_a and abl_b), so make sure to back those partitions up (see 1.2.3).
After backing up your partitions, go to abl_a and abl_b, and load the ABL_ENG_V60.bin to them.
Now you'll have a custom bootloader capable of doing crossflashes.
3 - Crossflashing​
3.1 Prerequisites
QFIL Set up (see 1.1.1)
LGUP (make sure to install LG Drivers)
KDZ (I download from here)
Spoiler: 3.2 Backing up and erasing partitions
For this section, you'll need to backup the following partitions (see 1.2):
ftm
op_a
op_b
modem_a
modem_b
sid_a
sid_b
all LUN 5 partitions
After backing them up, erase the following partitions:
ftm
op_a
op_b
modem_a
modem_b
sid_a
sid_b
You erase each partition by going to the raw data manager and clicking Erase
note: Do not let the phone to begin to boot! If it begins to boot, it may regenerate the SID and FTM partitions data and so you need to redo the whole erasing step. go straight to 3.3
Spoiler: 3.3 Flashing rom with LGUP
Now that you backed up and erased the proper partitions, it is time to flash your new KDZ to your phone.
Your phone may still be on 9008 mode so you'll need to put it on Download Mode so LGUP can flash it.
Follow these steps:
Force your phone to reboot by pressing (Vol -) and (Power) at the same time.
Once it disconnects from windows, release all previous buttons and press and hold (Vol +) until it enters download mode.
Once it enters download mode, open LGUP and select Partition DL.
Click on the three dots and choose your kdz file.
Click ok, then a partition list window will show.
Select every partition by hand (DO NOT CLICK Select ALL) EXCEPT
sid_a
sid_b
abl_a
abl_b
Then click ok . It will flash the KDZ to your device.
4 - Fixing Serial Number and NT Code​
4.1 Prerequisites
QFIL Set up (see 1.1.1)
HxD
ftm partition backed up
Spoiler: 4.2 Finding out your serial
Firstly, get your backed up ftm partition (see 1.2.3 for backing up partitions) and open it up on HxD.
Hit CTRL + G on your keyboard and type in 12000 (in hex).
This is your serial. Write it up somewhere.,
Spoiler: 4.3 Patching your new ftm
You'll need your new ftm partition after the crossflash is done. (See 1.2.3 and 1.2.4 for reading and backing partitions up).
Firstly let's fix the serial code:
Open up your new ftm partition on HxD.
Go to ( CTRL + G ) 12000 (in hex).
Paste over ( CTRL + B ) your serial number.
The altered part will look red.
Now let's fix the NT code. You'll need to find the correct NT code (see post #2) for your KDZ.
Mine was named V600TM30d_00_USC_US_OP_0823, so the correct NT code for mine will be USC_US.
note: EA KDZs will use OPEN_EU NT code.
So the NT code for my KDZ is "1","FFF,FFF,FFFFFFFF,FFFFFFFF,81".
Let's fix the NT code by doing those steps:
Go to ( CTRL + G ) 14000 (in hex).
Paste over ( CTRL + B ) the NT code.
The altered part will look red.
After doing those steps, save the file and write it to the device (see 1.2.4).
after loading the image, you are good to go!

You can restore the IMEI and S/N if you made a backup copy of the LUNS 5 partitions.

Yes, I backed up LUN5 partitions. After cross flash I restored ftm (LUN0) partition and LUN5 partitions. But no luck.

LM-V600AM gets stuck in a boot loop after following these directions. I keep getting the g.co/abh error message. I restored erased partitions from backup and everything is back to normal.

If it's stuck in bootloop,you factory reset after you flash.That will erase any userdata that may have been left behind afterwards.

All you need is LUN 5 with my backup,and it will install with no issues!

That's what I thought. It's not working for me, I can't get into recovery. Boot loops before we get far enough even for that. It's very quick. LG logo, then the warning message, then a reboot, back to LG logo.
I just tried again using V600TM30d_00_USC_US_OP_0823.kdz, since you specifically called that out in the guide... I'm trying to eliminate variables, but it's still failing.
I suppose it's possible I'm doing something wrong... After LGUP is finished, should I be trying to interrupt the reboot it triggers? Is it possible something is getting mangled up then? I click "Start" in LGUP and it nearly immediately starts reboot looping. LGUP reports success after a reboot countdown, then I put it back in 9008 and update the FTM partition as mentioned in the guide. I've also tried replacing the LUN5 partitions from backup as mentioned in earlier comments. No success.
Edit: Finally got into recovery, did a data reset. Boot loop resumes immediately after.

Alright, I don't know what I did differently the 7th time but it's up and running!

Hi! I'm new here. Just read the post for newbies and tried to search for a forum for my Infinix phone but I cannot find one.
If anyone knows if threads or forums related to infinix phones please let me know, thank you.
MAIN QUESTION:
Okay so ive landed here because i wanted to root my new phone, ive done it already once only because my old phone was really old so i was able to find the necessary files.
I am wondering who can i send a request to either help me find/make the necessary file like the usb driver for the specific phone as well as the image /flash file(sorry forgot the correct term)
so i can proceed with rooting my phone
Also, the senior contributors that i was supposed to ask are labelled inactive.
Phone brand&model: Infinix Hot 20 X6826C
Android version: 12

I did a quick search and altough i cannot quite comprehend the jargons, if my assumptions are correct, mtkclient is a tool to help root my phone, correct?
EDIT: so it looks like i need a flash image or file, where do i get it? cant seem to find one(or maybe i missed it because i dont exactly know what im trying to find yet)
im unsure but i think it's this link:
Download Infinix Stock ROM for all models (Latest Firmware)
Download the latest Infinix Stock ROM Firmware (Flash File) for all the available Infinix smartphones, feature phones, and tablets.
androidmtk.com
but still can anyone confirm if im finding the correct file

mtkclient is a flash tool that works similar to SP Flash Tool, but without scatter file. you can use it to read boot partition off device.
https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient#read-flash
r = read
Code:
python mtk r boot boot.img

Code:
Port - Hint:
Power off the phone before connecting.
For brom mode, press and hold vol up, vol dwn, or all hw buttons and connect usb.
For preloader mode, don't press any hw button and connect usb.
If it is already connected and on, hold power for 10 seconds to reset.

"Power off the phone before connecting.
For brom mode, press and hold vol up, vol dwn."
(use an online translator or ask a nearby person help you to understand)

okay so i've downloaded a stock rom for my specific phone model can i use that instead to extract boot.img(will only use this as last resort)

yes, if it is the same build/release you can use it from download. double check from settings - about phone.
regarding VCOM preloader drivers, I can see you haven't installed correctly (yellow triangles)
you can assign the *.inf manually in device manager. make sure phone is powered off. keep an eye for new device in device manager, connect the usb cable.
preloader is only visible for ~1 second, it disappears immediately when phone gets power of usb. during this second, pick the new device in device manager, click on > Properties > Update Driver > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from the list of device drivers on my computer > Show all devices > Have Disk > cdc-acm.inf
Now each time you connect phone in power off state, preloader is ready to get connected to flash tool for ~ 1 second.

yes, i am able to see it but it only lasts like 1 sec and then it refresges and poof! its gone then the same problem occurs again
do note that
at the moment the device appears when i plug it in, i quickly entered the code
then theres a big delay then after a few minutes i'l get the same errors again

you do the opposite - first start reading/flashing, then connect phone

i have downloaded a stock rom but i still aint using it because:
The rom file is named: ""Infinix_Hot_20_X6826C_MT6768_V826_230314.zip""
the build number is "X6826C-H6927ABC-S-OP-230314V826" it somehow manage to match with ""... v826_230314" and "X6826C" on the downloaded stock rom file name, BUT
on the downloaded stock rom file too, there is this thing called "MT6768" but my cpu is "MT6769V/CZ" should i worry about it?
