[Q] About QPST and IMEI - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers

hello, I just ask for help to know how to properly install the Qloader driver for mi mix 2s.
yesterday I think I managed to install the driver but in the driver manager I did not have an associated COM port for QPST setting.
To save my imei I followed this tutorial successfully: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/how-to/guide-discussion-restoring-efs-t3795004
I tried several tutorials but I failed to install the driver correctly.
Do you have a functional tutorial for mi mix 2s about this driver ?
Or have you a tuto to restore the saved partitions with this tutoria l?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/how-to/guide-discussion-restoring-efs-t3795004
thank you in advance

If you manage to do a backup, do it twice if necessary. But I urge you to not restore if it is not really necessary.. the risk of f-ing up is not worth if you're just going to play with it

[Q] Telsda T9555 china

Hi All/experts,
I bought this phone 2 months back after lot of rooting efforts finally was able to root it. However I think unknowingly I deleted some apps from /system/app while trying to cleanup unwanted applications. Now my phone does not show any cell connection(its a dual sim phone) does not even show the SIM signal bars on the top right corner. when I look at the phone information about baseband it reports "unknown". I tried using various phone.apk but non of them worked and I would like to know how I can solve this issue and make my phone alive. My phone boots properly , all other installed apps work, I get a wifi connection and can use Google Play.
Can someone help me by providing the rom dump for this phone or a APK dump for this phone? The phone shows that its running 4.0.4 however its a 2.3.6 base I believe.
Ok to even flash a custom rom as long as its sure to work
Again the model is Telsda T9555 and it has a mediatek MTK6515 processor with 256MB RAM and 256MB ROM.
Thanks

Hello,I found your post about rooting Telsda phone. I would like to ask You, how did You done it? I have Telsda T8520 bought in PRC last week, I'm trying to install Google Play subsystem, but to be honest I don't know how... Can You help me? Simply installing google play apk doesn't help. Phone seems to be rooted, but some things are still in chinese, not english, so I'm not quite sure. Explaining your rooting and google installing procedure might help me. Thanks in advance.

to root the phone its simple, extract the boot image using mtkdroidtools and then decompile the image file. edit I think the build.prop and set ro.secure = 0 and ro.debugging =1 (I am no expert but this is what I did). repack the boot image and flash it back to the phone. Then use unlockroot and thats it you get your phone rooted.
However since your phone is rooted as you say, installing google play needs installing the below apk
1. GoogleServicesFramework-signed
2. OneTimeInitializer-signed
3. SetupWizard-signed
4. com.android.vending-3.1.3-signed
I have attached the zip here in case you want to give it a try. This worked for me, I dont guarantee it will work for you !!!
if I helped you ... can you provide me a full rom dump of your phone , I will try to flash it and since its the same manufacturer I hope it will work Right now I got my phone back from completly bricked by keeping the boot image and then flashing a system image from different phone. So my works for calls ,sms,gprs ...etc but fails on wifi and bluetooth.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK , I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE GOES BAD

thanks, but what driver for windows have you used? my mtkdroidstools still shows the device isnt revealed. I've tried lot of different drivers (even generic), without success so far.
your problem could be driver installation.... get usbdview and run it as admin. delete all mediatek related entries, reconnect the phone for flashing and then let the system do the installation of the drivers again. This is a very common issue with mediatek preloader Vcom drivers atleast as per my experience but I dont know if others too have faced this. when I have a problem I use the above porcess to make it work again.

I dont understand what you are trying to do . If you are trying to flash the phone then you need to run sp flash tools, remove the phone battery.. start the download or the readback in sp flash tool .. put the battery back into the phone and connect the phone to your computer. This way your Vcom drivers should get installed.
Again before doing all this its advisable to do delete the existing drivers on your PC using USBDview
There is a tutorial on how to use SP flash tools check it on the internet. As a suggestion to avoid any risk of messing your phone just do a readback instead of a download.
Goodluck !!! your phone , your risk if something above fails (-:

[Q] About risk

Ok, hello everyone. So i got mediatek phone(Ig l50)
I know that flashing roms with recovery isn't risk(if the rom doesn't work you try another)
but I want to ask :
Is readback with flash tool risky?(Readback is for backing up boot or recovery with my own generated scatterfile)
Sorry if this isn't the right place
You should backup your data first and save it on external device (SD-card, your computer, ...)
After that, you can do anything what you want without worries.
Once you flash your phone OS, phones warranty will be null and void. Save all your data on your computer or use any backup app. Once you have all data backed up, then there is no much risk, even if it fails you can flash it again with different image.

Also it is not just safe. If you flash the wrong rom you can brick your device and as it is a mediatek device you will be hard pressed to find anything. Most developers refuse to touch these devices.
Ok thank you all. but I am asking for readback option, not flashing?

Ill be honest. Only Clones and knock offs generally use this chip so we dont see alot of them here and support none. So You maybe better off looking at a china based forum for the info you need.

1) Root your device with Root Genius (at time's it might take several attempts so do not give up)
2) as soon as you root, go to the playstore and install super su by chainfire. let super su take over the kingroot because i personaly feel Super Su give's the full root.
3) one's you have super user, open it and make sure its functioning.
4) now install MKT Droid tool and backup your NVRAM for which you got to install Vcom drivers to recognise the device. best OS is Win7 32bit to get things straight. incase if the device is not recognised, reboot your PC and try again.
5) One's MKT Tool recognises the device, install adbd on the mobile. it's a paid version. (you know how to get it)
6) open adbd it's in chinese. tik all the boxes in adbd and close.
7) now click on root button at the bottom of MKT Droid tools. it's initially in yellow color. untill it becomes green, you cannot backup NVRAM (this is your esf and imei which you are going to loose after flashing kitkat rom from different mobile brand)
8)after you succeed backup up the NVRam, you did the toughest job of all time.
9)now flash G750-T00 Rom with flash tools which you are going to find in the last link i've provided. search net how to flash with flash tool.
10) after flashing the base, you will loose the network. first thing you got to do is root your mobile with root genius. then install playstore. google for playstore apk. install playstore, sign in with your gmail id and install adbd again. (if you do not want to install play store you know the black way to do it.) one's you install the adbd, tik the boxes and go to MTK Droid tools to restore the NVRAM. which will bring back your network connections.
11) one's you get the network, flash the 251 base as per the last link provided. this one comes with many goodies like twrp, 3minit battery mode etc. one's you flash this base, go to backup and reset and factory reset your phone to gain access to GPRS. it will fix by itself.

Enjoy the Rom. EMUI 3.0 is smooth and changing lockscreen wallpapers will blow your mind. over all the mobile drastically changes from mid-range experience to flasgship experience
there after you can flash any custom roms available on chinese site for T20
Hi @jacktackle, good day!
First of all, excuse me for asking noob questions. I'm new here and I really have limited knowledge about smartphones.
I just wanna ask if this would work on my phone? Will my phone be completely rooted? Because I tried several rooting softwares, and everytime I restart my phone I always lose my root access.
Again, sorry for my noob questions. I would really appreciate your help!

SIM card not detected (anymore)

Hi,
some issues with my brand new Xiaomi Mi 4i.... I'm getting reaaaally tired of this.
My story with this phone went well for a day. Then I tried to install a french ROM and I guess I did something wrong cause my phone was hardbricked. I managed to recover from that (throught steps I couldn't really remember, I tried so many things) but when I put my SIM card on my phone, it's not detected anymore, despite working on another device (a Lumia 1320)
I read it might be an hardware issue (and not covered by warranty, which is a real shame), but some stuffs tells me otherwise :
- the card was working before the hardbrick;
- MiPCSuite is messed up: it worked perfectly before the hardbrick, but now it's considering my phone as a "mi device" (and not a Xiaomi Mi 4i), I can't backup anything because my phone "isn't up to date" (despite having installed MiUI7 to check if the issue came from MiUI6 for some reasons)... I know it's nothing really important, but it might indicate that it's software related... right ? :crying:
I took the hardbrick well because I know it was my fault, and my fault only. But now that I have this issue... I'm kinda pissed. And the fact is that I don't have any center near me, because I'm in France (explaining why I tried to install a french rom and why my english isn't the best), so if I have to send my Mi 4i back, it will cost me a lot AND I won't have my device for monthes...
If you have ANY information that could help me, I would gladly take it. Thanks !
Edit : "baseband" is marked as unknown. Guess it matters...
did you backup your EFS (EFS Backup) before flashing custom rom? if yes then try tro restore your efs with twrp (i assumed you used twrp)

My motto always has been, and I know it's a very stupid motto, "if you backup, things are going to mess up". I never backedup anything, assuming everything would go according to plan.
So no, sadly, I don't have any EFS backup (or any backup at all...). I used TWRP, but since my phone resurrected, I didn't have the guts to reinstall TWRP. If I don't have any backup, it would be useless, wouldn't it?
I'm gonna try when I'll can to redo a full factory reset + fastboot flash using MiFlash Tools. Read it worked for Xiaomi Mi4, but don't have much hope. I guess the issue relies on something else than just a ROM. ( but I might be wrong, once again I'm really not an expert and this is my first Android device ( and yeah, yeah, I was stupid ) ).
try FastBoot Flashing, open this link

*btw can you do imei checkup with your phone?

I hope the same thing than you
By IMEI checkup, did you mean verify if my MiPhone is a legit one? If yes, yeah, I tried and it's an official one.
If not, in the "Details", neither IMEI or IMEI SV are known.

It says "Invalid IMEI"... I flashed as your link said, but didn't work...
Well. "All I have to do" is to fix the two corrupted IMEI files. I found which ones are appropriate : mmcblk0p20 et p21.
I guess they are corrupted, I don't really know... Dunno if there is anyway to fix this, maybe by modifying the files with notepad or something like that. Really, I don't know, but I'm kinda despaired.
This might help

This guy had the same problem.. I tired helping by using extended twrp and uploading it. He seemed to have fixed it. Try posting there

Thanks. Gonna try this.
Quick question : could you upload somewhere your mmcblk0p20 and mmcblk0p21 files for me to compare with mine?
Two ways to get it : with mi4i toolkit (EFS backup, it will be stored on /sdcard/efs-backup) or by following the tutoriel by magdag :
http://en.miui.com/thread-59832-1-1.html
Hi, it's me again,
I contacted the saler of my Mi 4i to ask if he knows any way to repair it or why. I was very surprised to see that the website proposed me 1) A partial refund (40%) on the websites account 2) A total refund (but the item is shipped at my cost) or 3) The same phone, half price, without the need of being reshipped.
I'm very surprised that it's covered by warranty... any ideas about that? Any chance that once I've shipped my Mi4i back, they'll ask me to pay for the replacement?
i am facing similar issue but my sim is not detecting on first slot but it is detecting on second slot
even my imei is showing correctly should is go for replacement coz i bought it few days back
If the SIM card tray is damaged (for example, a piece of plastic is chipped off or a metal plate is deformed), this can be the cause of the problem when the Xiaomi smartphone does not see the SIM card.
I had such a situation on my Mi 3. In the service center they could not find the cause of the problem, I found it myself.
I hope this information will help to somebody.

[HELP] Redmi 9 Hard Bricked

Hello i've flashed a custom ROM for my Redmi 9 this morning but it failed.
Now my phone doing a big f* bootloop, the recovery (TWRP) is dead and the fastboot too.
I've found a tool named SP Tool to repair the phone but the problem is when i plug my phone to my computer the phone is charging (logic) and instead showing the animation of the battery it bootloop until it runs out of battery.
So someone can help me please
Thanks
Edit: Oh i forgot, now i've realised than when i flashed the rom i've wiped the entire phone (internal storage too)
My bad...
Is your device Merlin or Lancelot? If you're not sure, what processor do you have, Qualcomm or MTK?
If it is Qualcomm, try test-point method to access EDL mode, then use Mi Flash Tool to flash MIUI on your device. Read this FAQ to learn more.
If it is MTK, then follow this guide and download the tools used in the video from here. You can find your device ROM (Lancelot) here.
Just make sure you're flashing global version if your device is global or chinese if your device is chinese.
If you're not sure what you're doing, I highly recommend sending it to a professional.
Goodluck.
Hi, my phone has the codename Lancelot with a MTK Helio G80.
I will try, thanks

Both SIM slots have no IMEI? I assume you wiped all and didn't backup?
You'll need Modem Meta and ENG ROM to fix that, you can get the ROM and the specific way to fix it from here.
If you're lost you'll find all the answers in the thread, but don't be afraid to ask there just don't ask an already asked question.
Here is a brief guide made by the same person to provide the ROM.
Goodluck.

I followed the guide in the video. But failing in the LibUSB Step. Mediathek device is not showing up. My Redmi 9 is hard bricked, just seeing a "redmi logo" bootloop. No matter if I try to boot normally, recovery or fastboot. Any Idea?

This tool installs the driver required to unbrick your device, if you can find your device specific driver to install on your PC then you can skip using this tool and install the driver manually.
If you can't find the driver, then try using a different cable when connecting the phone to the PC. Or a different port in the PC (Like the legacy 2.0 USB port in the motherboard).
The tool should first detect any device connected to install the driver it doesn't work the other way. If it still doesn't work then your only option is to find the driver manually. Or maybe you can find an updated version of the same tool or a similar tool.

Thanks for your help. Actually I got it working with a lot of try and error... not even sure which drivers worked at the end. Also I had to switch to a win 7 computer. On win 11 drivers just didnt work. But with MTK Bypass tool + SP flash Tool, I was able to flash the stock image and recover my briked phone!

Glad it worked out in the end mate.
Might be a random guess but it could be because signature protection was enabled on the win 11 PC.
Don't brick your phone again!

Hey, i can help you by sending videos that helped me to fix my problem but i've lost them.
Do you have a bootloader locked or unlocked? (here to know how)
If it's the 1st option, relax, you can modify easily
If it's the 2nd a little bit less
NB: i don't use really use this phone, just for developpment and some things than it can break the OS because it had some problems with apps and updates.
Have a great day and i hope than you have found a solution before my answer.

Someone help me please? Two days ago i bricked my redmi 9 eea after update via ota. He just died, no infinite loop or charge. After a tutorial from here was able to revive him with sp flash, phyton and other stuffs. Everyting went OK and my phone is alive again. Whatever now I've getting issues that weren't there before hard brick. My redmi doesnt recognize my Sim card. I enter my pin security and then don't get any sim card signal. Also can't log on play store with my Google account, i get this message "there was a problem communicating with Google servers, try again later." Tried to wipe Google play services data, also from play store, formated redmi from recovery but the problems remains. Maybe i need to reinstall rom again, im pretty sure it was the right rom i flashed because i download it from miui official website. Unfortunately after reviving my redmi with sp flash, my bootloader got locked again. Sense i cant log with Google account because phone doesn't recognize my chip to activate data sim card, i cant either unlock with mi unlock. Is there any solution for this? Thanks.
Perhaps flashing phone with another rom the problem gets fixed. I can still flash my phone with sp flash even with bootloader blocked right? My redmi comes with a European rom. To revive him i used rom last update, maybe should try a previous version?
