Please help!! Hardbricked my new K30 4G - Xiaomi Poco X2 Questions & Answers

I recently bought a redmi K30 from eBay. Everything worked fine except NFC so I checked on google as to how to make it work. Turned out my device is rooted and I had to lock the bootloader so I did but It has put the phone on bootloop. I have been trying to resolve this for the past 12 hours. if anyone knows how to resolve this, please help!! I don't want to open the phone back. I also spoke to Xiaomi UK as well and they said they won't be of any help.
I've tried everything I could to get into my phone with no luck and therefore, I've come to a conclusion that I'd need to get help from an authorised Xiaomi account holder. So please let me know if anyone can help me find people who got these accounts.
Thanks in advance

Hi, good day, I also encountered that. What I did was:
1. Get RECOVERY.IMG from extracted Official Fastboot ROM
2. FASTBOOT BOOT RECOVERY.IMG
3. Wipe Data / Factory Reset using Stock Recovery
4. FASTBOOT BOOT TWRP.IMG
5. Install your ROM (I'm using EU MIUI 11 Stable)
Rooting
1. Get BOOT.IMG from your ROM.ZIP
2 Download Magisk Manager
3. DON'T FLASH DIRECTLY, use "Select and Patch File", then select the BOOT.IMG
4. Flash Magisk Patched .IMG to BOOT
As I have had observed, Android Verified Boot (AVB) is being tripped once you modify or your root apps modify system files.
To be safe, don't use Root Apps that modifies system apps like Root Booster or non-systemless Adblock.

you can unlock with fastboot-
For new devices (2015 and later):
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
For older devices (2014 and earlier):
Code:
fastboot oem unlock

For some reason no need to oem unlock (bootloader not locked properly??) so have twrp without needing to wipe data, but now remains the encryption problem as this trwp doesn't support it, I have compiled twrp for mtk in the past with encryption support but doubt I can recall what needed to be done
TWRP not working
When I install the TWRP recovery and start the phone with this mode to install the two files
1) no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1
2) SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822
the phone does not see them and it is impossible to proceed further.
Furthermore, the operating system does not even start, so the original firmware must be replaced with the flash tool.
Has anyone found a solution to this inconvenience?
Thank you

1. Userdata is encrypted, and the TWRP here isn't compiled to be able to decrypt it. So you'll need an sdcard with those zips on it
2. The os won't start if it deems its been altered - that's partly what zip 1 is for.
Is there any custom roms for Ulefone Mix?

No custom ROMs - I think there is a clone device [Panasonic Eluga C] so we have another stock ROM from them.
I haven't attempted porting anything yet, let alone building anything from source [a source built twrp should be trivial] - i've lost yet another hard-drive recently so light on diskspace & sdcards so not able to do much atm.
For completeness: stock ROM > http://ulefone.com/download/mix.html [newer than the one on needrom]
OTA > http://hwfotadown.mayitek.com/ota/r...NE_N_V0.6.9.1_S1712221514261911507/update.zip

when (android 8) Oreo for ulefone mix?
twrp and now?
Hello,
i have an old ulefone mix mt6750t with the screen damaged but still 90% working, i thought i would use it on android auto but i needed rooting.
So I informed myself a bit, go unlocked developer mode and usb, downloaded adb and twrp and magisk etc ...
I unlocked the bootloader from the settings then used adb and installed twrp which starts but asks me for the pass to decrypt, then I swipe and delete the encrypted data.
Then with adb sideload I install magisk 20 and check opt encript, but the phone always goes to twrp, it does not restart ... mmm and the orange mode message comes out but it should be normal ... someone knows how to go on to restart it normally and not with twrp?
Thank you

I messed up with Huawei Mate 9. Please Help.

Guys i have a really really big problem with mate 9 (MHA-L29). I broke both twrp and system same time (please don't ask why.)
Now, my phone don't open, just fastboot&rescue mode, useless huawei recovery (which can't format data neither install stock rom). Besides, i can't install stock rom because i tried once, and i downloaded wrong system file, and i can't format the phone now. Because of that, stock rom that i download sd card not working too. Because there is a dload file in phone.
worst of all, i can't install twrp again, because my fastboot screen tell me that: "Phone Unloced" (with red) "FRP Lock" (with green). When i try to install twrp, adb says "Failed, remote command not allowed"
Now, if can install the twrp, all my problems will be solve. There is 1 custom rom (RomAur) and 1 system backup.
How can i install twrp with this situation?
Please someone help me i spend 2 days and still nothing! How can i open this phone? Stock rom, with/without root, custom rom whatever, just tell me how can i open this phone
up
You get that command when trying to flash the wrong recovery partition, was your room nougat or Oreo based?? If nougat it's fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and Oreo fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img I think you are trying to flash the wrong partition

With FRP lock you'll have to use DC-Phoenix.
But it costs €19 (For 3 days usage).
Simply put you can bypass FRP with it by force closing DC-Phoenix when it has activated the backdoor, after this you can flash anything from fastboot (until you reboot).
So you could use it to flash back TWRP.
Or you can use it to install stock firmware

Special Request
Hey ante . Is it possible to help me ? I rooted my phone 2 days back and messed it up while downloading a framework app which ended me up in a bootloop. I have been reading and following your posts of you helping others. I don't really get the steps what I should follow.
My phone is unlocked. FRP shows Unlock.
Rooted on oreo and I tried e-recovery and fastboot steps you mentioned in other threads using kernel and ramdisk etc. ( After this I have lost access to TWRP and I am simply getting EMUI Screen with options for Factory Data Reset and Wipe Cache Partition. I don't know where it is going to lead me next :-/.
Also downloaded Huawei Extractor and tried to extracted specific files but the firmware file I have doesn't have CUST.img file.
Also the site link you mentioned for download firmware is in some other language and I am unable to search for my firmware.
I also tried the placing update file in the dload on my sd card but fails at 5%. The file was correct and I am sure I did'n download the wrong firmware.
Currently it shows this on the fastboot screen.
Andorid reboot reason
: AP_S_ABNORMAL 32
NA
Just don't know what I should be doing ? PLEASE HELP BRO?

What's your firmware now?
You can get that info in Fastboot using
Code:
fastboot oem get-product-model
fastboot oem get-build-number
Since your recovery and fastboot still functions you probably will only need to use HWOTA to get back to stock.
It can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-oreo-update-package-t3699522
But post your cust/build before proceeding.
Also cust.img is found in UPDATE.APP in the hw data zip.
Problem Solved - Somewhat
Hey ante. Thanks for the promt reply. I got it solved by using CHIMERA tool.
Would like to suggest others also stuck with same issue to use CHIMERA.
Note - It is a paid tool and 100% legit and it can help with all problems related to FRP, Bootloader Lock / Unlock & also flashes back to factory firmware.
However what I am facing now I have flashed another version of firmware which isn't my region and some features of my phone like fingerprint scanner and other things are not working but phone is back to live. So Im glad and looking forward to searching for clean Oreo Firmware for my region to flash using CHIMERA Again.
Also, the sick and stupid part of it. I went to the service center and a person non-technical told me straight that you lost your device and it's of no use now. We cannot fix such issues 99% but I'll still ask my team and let you know after 3 days.
Thank God I didn give them and wasted my time and money.
As soon as I returned, I followed up to things and got it done myself. :good:
Anybody can possibly suggest a official firmware Oreo EMUI for Middle East Region!? If not which one can be flashed instead and where to download from?

[ISSUE] Trying to root Redmi 6, Miui 11, getting stuck installing Magisk

I am unable to root my Redmi 6 Miui 11
I've followed youtube tutorials, read about this etc. but the thing is that I can't get this to wrok.
device model: redmi 6
miui global 11.0.3 | Stable 11.0.3.0 (PCGMIXM)
Android: 9 PPR1. 180610.011
ENABLED: USB debugging, USB debugging(Secutiry Settings), OEM unlocking
Unlocked the bootloader
tried latest and few older versions of TWRP for redmi 6 from the twrp.me - none of them worked as when I try to load into TWRP my screen goes all colors and depending on the version there might be a small light show of colors splashing.
Found this one to be working, from yt video - can't post link as a new user , (Although it says 6A) - never mind at least I've managed to load into TWRP.
When TWRP starts
it says: Mount Decrypt Data - since I do not have lock set I go to CANCEL
go to INSTALL -> says internal Storage (0MB), so I use SD card to install Magisk-v20.4.zip I confirm and see following errors:
Decrypt process ended with signal: 11
Failed to decrypt data.
Unable to decrypt with default password. You may need to preform Format Data.
then a bit later...
Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/twrps_wzsx150
Is there any way I can bypass this issue? What should I do and what is the safest thing?
I am trying for 2 days to solve this issue but I am not sure what to do at this point.
If somebody know what should I do in order to root my device please tell me I will be grateful.
I've found the solution, the problem? I've not enough post to attach the boot img.
Go to the 4pda link of this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80515805&postcount=2
Download the file "boot_11.0.3.0CN_R6_mgsk_202.img", flash the boot file with the command "fastboot flash boot boot_11.0.3.0CN_R6_mgsk_202.img", reboot, install the lastest magisk manager.
At this point you should have magisk 20.2 installed, only a problem, you can't update magisk
Don't do it!

[GUIDE] Rooting the UMIDIGI S5 Pro | Magisk

EDIT: I attached a zip with AIDA64's reports for this phone. One report has Magisk hidden from AIDA64, the other doesn't.
This mostly a copy of _cab13_'s Rooting the UMI F2 post as the same instructions for rooting that phone are how I rooted the S5 Pro. So please give _cab13_ thanks here if this helped you root your phone. I'll take a thanks for removing the orange state warning if I helped you with that
Please be patient when posting questions, I will get back to you as quickly as I can. I just have many responsibilities which take up a great deal of my time.
Rooting the S5 Pro
Disclaimers
This is important, please read thoughtfully.
whatever you do, NEVER EVER use SP Flash Tool in "Format All+Download" mode. This will wipe your IMEI['s]s and some other bad stuff will happen like loss of fingerprint sensor. This cannot be reversed by us.
Once bootloader is unlocked, warranty is considered void. By following this guide, you consent to that happening. Safety net CTS will not pass anymore unless you flash Magisk which hides the unlocked bootloader.
Never re-lock your bootloader while running anything unofficial as the phone will not boot until you unlock again.
And, once again, a lot of bad things can happen like boot loops, if that happens to you, don't freak out! Simply re-flash the stock ROM, redoing the rooting process from the start. It might be time consuming, but that's your safest bet!
More important even, have fun rooting, it's before all a hobby!

Unlocking Bootloader
ATTENTION!! After unlocking the bootloader, all user data in the phone's memory will be lost, so do not forget to throw all the most important things on your computer or flash drive!
1) Activate "Developer options" through Settings > About Phone > Tap Build Number multiple times.
2) Open "Developer options" in Settings > System > Tap Advanced.
Enable "OEM Unlocking" and enter your password to confirm. Enable "USB Debugging" as well.
3) On Windows, download and install Minimal ADB and Fastboot by shimp208
On Linux, use your package manager to install android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot
4) Open command prompt (Win + R > type cmd) or a terminal on linux.
5) Plug your phone, accept the prompt about adb and the PC signature.
6) Type adb reboot bootloader to reboot in fastboot mode. Unplug your cable from your phone
and replug it after fastboot is printed at the bottom of the screen.
THESE NEXT TWO STEPS WILL COMPLETELY WIPE YOUR DATA
7) Unlock the bootloader using fastboot flashing unlock and pressing Vol+
8) Unlock the secure partitions using fastboot flashing unlock_critical and pressing Vol+
9) Restart using fastboot reboot
You will now always see "Orange State" at boot; this is completely fine and will only delay your boot by 5 seconds.
Rooting using Magisk patched boot.img
This is "experimental" and is probably overkill, but everyone managed to install Magisk with it.
1) Clean install UMIDIGI_S5Pro_20200702.V3.02 (or the European one) with SPFT by selecting the scatter file, pressing download an rebooting the phone
(Make sure it is in "Download Mode" and not "Format + Download")
2) Patch boot.img by copying it to your device, using Magisk Manager to patch it, and get back the magisk_patched.img in the Download folder back to your PC.
3) Start ADB while booted; run adb reboot bootloader. Alternative is to reboot to recovery and selecting "reboot to bootloader"
4) unlock if not already done with fastboot flashing unlock followed by fastboot flashing unlock_critical
5) In the following code, the vbmeta.img and the recovery.img are the stock files from the ROM you downloaded and extracted.
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash boot magisk_patched.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot
When rebooting, install Magisk Manager. It will prompt to finalize the installation, you can do so.
Congratulations ! You are now a proud Magisk user ! All credits goes to @topjohnwu he's the real MVP here.
Returning to stock / Resolving issues
The best way to resolve any issue is to return to stock. Here is the method.
1) Download latest stock ROM on UMIDIGI's forums
2) Download SP Flash Tool if you don't have it yet (Windows only)
3) Extract stock ROM in SP Flash Tool directory. Refer to Flash Tool guide if needed.
4) Open SP Flash Tool, Download Tab, "Choose" in Scatter-loading file, select the scatter file in the stock ROM directory.
5) If you want to keep your data, untick "userdata" partition. MAKE SURE FORMAT IS NOT SELECTED!
6) Press Download and connect your device via USB. Reboot the phone or turn it off and everything will be flashed.
7) If you want a full stock experience, I recommend relocking the bootloader so that SafetyNet will pass. Get into fastboot mode by using adb reboot bootloader and use fastboot flashing lock_critical followed by fastboot flashing lock. This will wipe your data once more.
You should be good to go.
ONE LAST THING
Get rid of your orange state warning.
Download the attached zip file and extract.
Put your phone into fastboot and:
Code:
fastboot erase lk
fastboot erase lk2
fastboot flash lk lk_patched.img
fastboot flash lk2 lk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
No more orange state warning! Reflash the stock lk before unrooting, though.
ATTACHED LK FILE IS FOR UMIDIGI S5 Pro ONLY.
Thank you for re-posting this as an option to root the S5. I did get stuck on flashing the recovery. I have tried a few times and every time it just flashes orange , restarts and loads normally. I have verified root.
i have used the recovery found here

I have no success installing TWRP. Do you know if twrp has a recovery that will work?

No luck for me finding a custom recovery (twrp or anything else.)
If you have any exp with them, see if you can make the F2's (found in the F2 root thread) work. It SHOULD only need a minumum of tweaking, just to account for the (afaik) slight soc differences. i'm not gonna hold my breath. there seems to be a void when it comes to enthusiasm for this phone. by my serial no, i have the 4832nd phone manufactured. compared to serials ranging from 22000- 189000 for my other umis (f1play, s3pro, f2, power3)
I think I'll try making TWRP soon for it.
The F2 TWRP would not be usable this easily, it's easier to start fresh.
If anyone wants to try, download the sources for the F2 TWRP on my GitHub, then you need to extract the stock kernel and replace the F2's with the S5pro's

hello folks,
This message is not about rooting s5 but rather about downgrading. I posted on the umidigi forum but have not received an answer. So the problem is the new OTA update that they pushed out yesterday. After update I lost 4G connectivity and i am unable to restore it. I want to roll back to the previous update. They have the roms available on the forum and I downloaded one but what I am not sure is can I use SP flash tool to just download the older ROM version on top of the new one?
I see lots of manuals on how to update but how do I safely downgrade?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do a "download only" flash of the "super", " vbmeta_system", and "vbmeta_vendor" partitions only (uncheck all other partitions) from the previous ROM. That should do it.

What precisely stuck you?
There is a new update firmware please make a rooting tutorial on youtube.,
Somebody made a custom TWRP and posted it on here. So if that'll help anyone out and get them to make a tutorial video, that be great. 'Cause I'm reading this over and over again, and I think I can do it, but I'm being very hesitant about it. And it's getting me all frustrated. I had it on "Flash Mode". And when I continued typing it out, it didn't go through and that had me on a raging panic attack. Luckily, it didn't mess up. But now I'm more hesitant. Please make a quick tutorial, doesn't even have to be perfect...
TWRP is at the bottom of this page:

Thanks for this guide. I am completely lost with step 7 and 8. What does the Unlock the bootloader using fastboot flashing unlock and pressing Vol+ mean?????? Where do you enter the unlock code and what is it?

I am able to get FastBoot Mode on my screen (through step 6). I plug the phone back in per directions & I hear the Windows device connected chime.
I type: fastboot flashing unlock in the same cmd window
and I get "<waiting for any device>" in the cmd window and it hangs.
Every few seconds I hear the Windows device disconnected noise, but no device connect chime. This lasts indefinitely.
I repeated step 7 several times with variations with the Vol+ button: pressing first, holding down while pressing enter in cmd window, pushing afterward, holding down afterward, etc. Same results as described above.
Any help available? Should I not unplug my phone from the PC? The F2 directions did not require that.
thanks!

Infinix hot 10 play (X688B) stuck bootlooping to fastboot after orange state, help

i recently rooted my phone with magisk patched boot image and was working good after i restored my files, then it rebooted itself and now its stuck on orange state then going to fastboot mode, after that it loops back to orange state over and over again, please help
Reflash phone's Stock ROM to get rid off of all modifications you applied so far.
and what if i want to root the phone? flashing the stock rom gets rid of magisk, am i stuck without an option to root it? or should i install a custom recovery or cus os like calyxos?
new problem, i cant flash the stock rom using sp flash tool, gives me this weird error:
STATUS_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL
any help?
I did this to my old phone if sp flash ain't working
"fasboot flash all slot a". if a/b partition
"fastboot flash all". if not a/b partition
and I feel like this method is faster than sp flash tool
edit:
lucky you could go to fastboot unlike mine can't go anywhere when I tried to flash my device it just reboot after 6 or 5 seconds ;-;
Does somebody have the stock rom for Infinix Hot 10 Play X688B?

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.

I could only find this one site that has all of the stock roms of XOS. Not exactly the model number. Just a 'c' and 'b' difference
Did you fix it? If not I can help you
I think the stock roms would work.

do you have the latest firmware files? i removed root and updated ota and i cant find any source of firmwares online, only the stock ones. can i use stock boot.img and patch it with magisk then install the patched stock boot.img with fastboot on an updated firmware?

Please I need your help on how you were able to root your infinix hot 10. I have the same phone and I was following YouTube tutorials they told me to use minimal adb and fastboot.. all the commands worked great but when I use command fastboot flash boot and paste my patched boot img it shows error... Unknown partition cannot determine image filename for boot img or so.
