[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 (-:

Thank you for the Swift reply! My RM3 is glitchy as albeit and I'd like more stability. I know it's just the OS but it's very annoying.

Looks great. There's a big red warning to your thread tho that don't use if you're phone is Red Magic 3 it will damage the motherboard. Hmm

Any one besides OP tried this ?

Everything is the same, other than the CPU. Nothing will happen. If people want to stick with the buggy rm3 sw, than go ahead. Not sure why you would want to.

so if rm3s fw works with rm3, can we try to install it thro twrp???

TWRP states ERROR 7 when i tried this
LE: Avoid using this so called GUIDE, this is a bad joke... I tried using the Tool on RM3 and the cmd remains stuck with at Downloading firehouse program... then after some time "Error]: Download programer FAIL.Please check phone status and reset into edl mode and try again.
Software download FAIL.Press any key exit:
I also swapped USB's, different cable and so on... COM 5 6 and 7 were used

@JerryYin I completely understand now why you were not sharing the tool ???

Absolutely not. Different sized partitions. You need to use the tool 1st.

You don't realize this is not a GUIDE, this is a statement and you are telling us to use the tool for something.... You did not provide steps, video, guide, pre-requirements, nothing
This is not my 1st time using this tool so i know how it works, i kept crashing my CN <-> EU roms and needed to use the tool
So, why don't you provide with these 3 x RM3's a video on how did you use the tool, on what hardware did you use it (PC hardware, maybe Ryzen is overkill for the app and does not know how to use the scripts), what drivers you have installed (because this tool does not provide drivers vs the RM3 tool that provides) and all that kind of stuff ?

You shouldn't listen to aggressive people, they're the minority, thanks for whatever you were trying to do. I would like to give it a read if you still have the guide saved

If you speak the truth then please provide us with a picture or anything. First I don't know if rm3s fw is more stable than rm3 but if it is, I would definitely come back to stock rom as I missed the fan and triggers very much.

Aggressive people ? Guide ?
The Guide was like this:
Use this tool from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/red-magic-3/how-to/tool-nubia-red-magic-3s-unbirck-tool-t4025207) and enjoy the much more stable firmware of the RM3S "END"
And like i said in my previous posts, i asked him for a detailed explanation because what he said does not work, it always ends up with sahara_rx_data:237, i even tried on my laptop with with windows 7 fresh install
Then he suddenly reacts like a 12 years old and deletes everything

Well, you said his post was a bad joke that comes off as aggressive, even if the guide is dangerously unexplained he didn't wrote it with malicious intent so you shouldn't talk to a fellow forum member that way.
I think he is onto something, it seems reasonable that if RM3 and RM3S share so much hardware in common their firmwares won't differ that much either.

Bad Joke of a guide is considered aggressive these days ? Whoaw, the newer generation is way over sensitive
Besides the so called guide, i lost almost 4-5 hours investigating this so called guide with error fixing and so on, here is what worked for me
The below "what worked for me steps" resulted and complete WIPE of the device !
I have no responsibility over bricked devices, i simply shared what some one did not bother to "info"
Do this on your own RISK !
What worked for me as on flashing the RM3s firmware on my RM3 is that 1st of all you need Windows 8.1, i tried on different hardware AMD and Intel with the Unbrick Tool RM3S and does not work on Windows 10 no matter what (windows 7 did not worked on Ryzen and my Laptop)
1. Have Windows 8.1 X64 (i used my Intel Celeron Laptop)
2. Have the drivers for the QDLoader HS-USB Driver_64bit_Setup
3. Download the tool for the Unbrick RM3S
4. Install the QDLoader drivers on the newly installed windows 8.1 and choose to restart
5. Turn the phone off and leave it like that until the Unbrick tool is ready
6. Run the Tool's exe and let it extract (the RM3S Unbrick Tool)
7. Power on the Phone holding PWR and Vol Down
8. Connect to a USB 2.0 port directly in to the motherboard with a quality cable
9. Select EDL mode from the Bootloader menu of the phone
10. Search within Device manager the phone's COM port
11. When the tool is ready, input the COM Number and select continue and install
These steps worked for me and phone booted fine... Conclusion is: I went Back to CN V2.38 and restored backup via TWRP, no performance gain, the device is still seen as RM3 but running with RM3S firmware
GPU and CPU frequency is of a normal SD855
My personal opinion is: This is a waste of time after all the hype I've gotten in to believing it would run like a SD855+

Can you tell if it far more stable and less bug than our rm3 fw? As for the performance it depend on device prosessor.

Redmi Note 6 Pro Unbrick in EDL Mode - I Need Help!

Hi everyone,
I seriously need some advices since I can't manage to solve my problem.
BEFORE YOU READ:
A month has passed, and I couldn't manage to recover my phone. I decided to buy a brand new phone for my brother.
The thread is going to stay there, since I hope it could be useful for people luckier than myself
The Problem:
My brother found his phone (the Redmi Note 6 Pro) turned off.
He wasn't able to turn it on.
I could manage to wake it up by pressing volume-up + power
very strangely, it directly turned into the OS (and not into the TWRP)
"but ok, at least it turned on" I thought
After only a few minutes, the phone suddenly turned off and from there my journey started to became a p**p
I'm not able to enter into recovery, and I'm not able to enter into fastboot neither.
I realized that the phone is fu--- ehmm I mean bricked. The funny thing is that we haven't done anything strange.
Some useful informations:
latest TWRP was installed
I was on the latest Pixel Experience Extended ROM (Android 11)
No custom kernel (I kept the kernel included in the PEE ROM)
No Root
What I tried:
Since it was impossible to do anything, I followed some guides (found here and on Youtube as well) and I opened my phone (if I'm lucky, I haven't destroyed anything ---- YET ).
I managed to enter in EDL mode
my Windows PC is able to recognize it on the COM / LPT ports as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
I downloaded the Mi Flash Tool
I downloaded the Boot Firmware and the two special files (prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf and prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_lite.elf) following this video link (please don't blame me, but I haven't found anything here)
I put the files inside the image folder
I tried to flash the firmware via Mi Flash but I got a funny error: "cannot receive hello packet"
Thinking that I was doing something wrong, I downloaded the latest Mi Flash Tool but nothing
I downloaded the latest tulip global image but nothing
I authenticated with the mi account into the tool (technically it shouldn't be needed) and... guess what? nothing.
I'm totally out of ideas. Of course I tried to reconnect the phone multiple times (shortening the two pins every time). I also tried to disconnect the battery and going USB-power-only.
Every time I get the "cannot receive hello packet" error, and suddenly the procedure fails saying "Riferimento ad un oggetto non impostato su un'istanza di un oggetto" (italian, that means "Object reference not set to an instance of an object").
EDIT: this error is also listed as "Null Reference Exception" (since it seems to be caused by the following exception: "System.NullReferenceException" - as you can read in the log I included)
Any ideas? What else can I try? Have I done anything wrong?
This never happened me before in almost 10 years of flashing. And, you know what? I just learned how to destr--- ehm open a phone! (...I used the little metal tab inside a Monster Energy can as tool *coff coff* -- C Y B E R P U N K)
Thanks to everyone that will try to help me. Every suggestion is appreciated*
*but please don't suggest me a trash can

Little Update:
tried to disable windows' driver signature: same issue
tried to disconnect the phone display (seems weird, but why not giving it a chance): same issue.
I also downloaded Mi Flash Pro, which should work even without an authorized Mi account. But I get the same damn error.

Disperate up. You guys are my last hope.

Hello @Gh_Racer I got the exact same problem. Found my phone turned off 2 days ago, when I tried to turn it on the miui logo appeared. turned off and that was it. Not been able to turn it on after that. Did u by any chance fix the problem? Thanks!

Damn, really? That's pretty disappointing. These cases are becoming suspicious... maybe that could be some kind of programmed obsolescence(?)
Just for curiosity: were you on stock MIUI or did you have any kind of modifications?
Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to do anything so far.
I loaned my old OnePlus 5T to my brother for now and I think that we'll buy a Redmi Note 10 as soon it will became available in our country. Of course I'm still here for any kind of suggestion until then.

I was on the official MIUI, I didn't do any kind of modifications to the phone. I found it also weird that we have the same problem around the same time. Maybe it's related to an automatic update? mine was like that when I woke up in the morning the day before it was in perfect condition. Let me know if u manage to somehow fix it and I'll let u know if i get it working. (btw I also ordered a new XIAOMI phone red note 9 pro lol)

I was on a custom ROM, as I said in my original post, so I won't point my finger to an automatic update. Maybe, maybe, some google-thing update? But I'm really sceptical that it would even be possible to hard brick a device in this way.
That's really weird, anyway.
Ps. Have you tried to open the phone and flash the fastboot + ROM in EDL mode?

I have not tried it yet. Do u have some links or tutorials on how to do this? I just received the kit to open the phone. I thought at first it might be a battery problem since the phone doesn't seem to charge at all when I plug it in electricity.

Here are some videos I followed. Do it at your own risk.
Phone Open + EDL Test Points *
Mi Flash Procedure in EDL Mode**
if the phone is not recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, you need to install the drivers
This should work for both locked and unlocked bootloader devices, if I'm not wrong.
Here's another useful and complete guide.
This guide is not for the Redmi Note 6 Pro, so don't use the provided ROM and fastboot. Just follow the procedure, that it's the same for every Xiaomi phone.
* I don't know what kind of nails that guy has lol Keep in mind that you have to heat the phone up with an hair dryer in order to be able to work with the tools (the body is pretty tight).
In the video is not clear, but the phone has two slots: the first one is made for replacing the screen, and the second is made for taking apart the back cover. Pay attention to this (I didn't know this detail, and I took apart my screen during the first attempt).
** During the flash procedure, I get the error I mentioned in my original post. I'm not sure if it's related to having an un-authorized Mi account or whatsoever, I haven't found any clear confirmation about that.

if the phone is not recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, you need to install the drivers
This should work for both locked and unlocked bootloader devices, if I'm not wrong.
Here's another useful and complete guide.
This guide is not for the Redmi Note 6 Pro, so don't use the provided ROM and fastboot. Just follow the procedure, that it's the same for every Xiaomi phone.

I need to search for them, since I downloaded things from a lot of different sources (I also deleted the one I downloade, since I did lost my hopes). I’ll update you in case I’ll be able to find them.

So, exactly, what did you do? You unplugged the cable and attached it again shortening the two test pins? Or you simply attached it without doing anything special?
I wasn’t able to solve the hello packet error.
I don’t know what the xml error is related to, since I couldn’t manage to communicate with the phone. I have no suggestions for this, I’m sorry.

Hi everyone...
Two days ago my Note 6 Pro woke up the same and after doing everything described above and even being able to successfully flash via EDL,
it remains the same and without changes.
I explain...
It turns on and stays in the MI logo, when trying to enter the recovery it stays in the TWRP home screen and only allows to enter the FASTBOOT that is unlocked but when trying to flash from MiFlash it gives an error as when I try directly from. bat file so I decided to try for EDL and it threw the xml error (resdump: <? xmlversion = "1.0" .........), I did some research and it turns out due to "prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf" and "prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_lite.elf" in "images folder" to firmware uncompress files, and I replaced them with others that allowed the flash to continue and finish successfully, but to my surprise, when restarting the device, everything continued without any change...
Until this moment I do not find any information that can help with this unfortunately.
I just hope that some of the "Great GURUS" in the forum can help and provide some solution... If it exists.

Hi everyone, I’m sorry for having not replied yet.
As I wrote in my main post, I haven’t managed to recover my phone so far, so we decided to buy a brand new phone.
I hope you’ll be luckier than me.

Hi all, in order to flash your phone you will need authorized account normally, but if you try to flash stock firmware with Mi Flash tool and QFill you will face errors and errors.
What I recommend you is to re-flash full fastboot firmware the same version what you had on your phone or the latest stable fastboot firmware which you can get here:
Oreo Android 8 OEKMIXM
Pie Android 9 PEKMIXM
Latest version:
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM/tulip_global_images_V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM_20201229.0000.00_9.0_global_ac26982758.tgz
All versions:
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
Once you download firmware open it with 7-Zip archive tool, and again open firmware inside 7-Zip until you see normal folder with the name of firmware for example "tulip_global_images_V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM_20201229.0000.00_9.0_global" and extract to desktop.
Once is Finish dowload this bypass auth files.
File with out Login
MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.
www.mediafire.com
Now copy those two files:
prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf
prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_lite.elf
and replace those two files inside firmware that you extracted before on Desktop for example:
"C:\Users\YOUR_PC_USER_NAME\Desktop\tulip_global_images_V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM_20201229.0000.00_9.0_global\images"
Next step is to use correct MiFlash tool which you can download here:
Working Mi Flash Tool:
MiFlash20160401.zip | by firmwarefile.com for Utilities
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
androidfilehost.com
Now, load firmware inside Mi Flash tool:
for example:
"C:\Users\YOUR_PC_USER_NAME\Desktop\tulip_global_images_V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM_20201229.0000.00_9.0_global"
Next is to remove battery cover carefully because you can damage fingerprint flat cable!or use special edl cable if you don't wanna to open your device.
- Disconect battery
- short those test point pins
https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C8bU7S6nAaI/Xqrd_PdvLXI/AAAAAAAAaLA/PK_E4oI_qPcJhBnSwlbQ0sr5J_9Ti2ycQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/21-14-47-images.jpg
-Plug the usb cable while you are holding those pins, once you got your device detected in Qdowloader 9008 mode relese short from test points.
Now click on Reflash on MiFlash tool and you will see your device is detected, now click on Flash and wait (it can take some time to finish). If you got error just unpplug the phone from PC and try again.
FOR FLASH OPTION:
You can check FLASH All or Flash all except storage
Once you successfully flashed your device, unplug device from your pc, plug battery back and power up your device to see if it's working or not.
The pay part if that doesn't work is reprograming or replacing emmc chip with ufi tool or something like that...
Good luck

I followed all the steps without any issues, since they were the same as I tried the last time, but a wanted to give a try to the files you linked me.
But... Unfortunately, I always get the same error. Probably, as you correctly pointed, that's an hw fault and there's nothing we can do.
I hope that someone will be luckier than me! I lost my hopes. RIP Redmi Note 6 Pro.

how to unbrick a pixel 4a anyone need help

flashed from graphene os and back to stock during stock flashing something failed and gives me a black screen and goesinto the screenshot provided

You can try to go through the applicable steps in this guide:
[GUIDE] UNLOCKING, DOWNGRADING TO A10, TWRP, ROOT
Hello, I'm posting this guide for those (like me) who can't do without TWRP on their device. I'm providing only a step-by-step explanation. Credits to @nikamura for his kernel and TWRP...
forum.xda-developers.com
Like installing the USB drivers, and SDK platform tools.
Then put the phone in fastboot mode and download an image from google and do a "flash-all.bat"

it wont work , that is what caused the issue, there is no adb or fasboot commands as the phone has nothing to load or read, it was flashing the official latest stock firmware using the flash-all.bat, then after the first rebbot and waiting for devices it goes to a black screen and shows what i put in the screen shot,(i believe the battery died during flashing) there is two modes it goes into the qusb which is the qualcomm download mode and some other mode i cant tell neither can the pc device find drivers to read the phone, techinically this phone is not fixable using normal methods , but i believe there is a way to flash to firmware back on,i have looked into using edl and qspt flashing but it still doesnt read the phone, any help would be greatful i have device protection but they are sending me a refurbished phone i would rather try to fix this before i do get the replacement, as it was a new and working device

i have been able to find a working qualcomm driver is there anyway to edl or msm file for the pixel 4a to fix this, now that the phone is being read properly it should be able to take commands as it is reconized as a modem driver or port

Any Ideas Why Its Failing , says sahari protocal failed

I believe Qualcomm is the ones that obtain these files not Google , only other way is to dump the files from download mode on a working device

I'd like to help by dumping the required files, I didn't know anything about EDL before doing research for this thread, but as I understand using EDL mode require a device-specific non-free "loader".
I'm trying to use B. Kerler's EDL tool (https://github.com/bkerler/edl) but fail because it doesn't have the proper loader file in its database.
If anyone come across the loader for the Pixel 4a (000e60e10066000a_3ef72a02fb931be1_fhprg.bin), I'd be happy to share boot and memory dump from my phone.

I encountered the same situation as you, did you solve it?

Older thread I know, but I've used EDL mode (on LG phones) to save partitions and write partitions.
But you have to have a 'programmer file' for the specific device for it to work. Aka a 'firehose' file for the specific device / chip.
Some mfg's make this available, some don't. Google does not. So, even having the file(s) you want to flash won't help, not if you don't have the firehose file.
sorry, cheers

Has anyone figured this out? Could really use some help. Thank you

Only suggestions are the go to software of choice,, pixel flasher or android flash tool, both need bootloader unlocked

Question Your device is corrupt. Oneplus 9

I tried putting the beta of OOS13 on my Oneplus and now i get that error message and ive been trying for so long.
the serial number is fb7b98a9

Flash by edl if you can't do it then pm I'll fix it by tv

Could you elaborate a little further? Are you just not able to flash OO13 beta or has the attempt of doing so corrupted your device completely?
If the latter, You will most likely need to flash an emergency MSMToolkit. It is an Indian OP9Pro variant but will bring your device back from the dead. Once that is done, you will just run a proper MSMToolkit and be right as rain.
EtherealRemnant wrote up an amazing guide on how to carry this out. SO amazing that its the only guide stickied on the 9 forums, currently.
- Here is a mega hosted copy of the Indian OP9Pro MSMToolkit,
I can personally vouch for the guide, as my 9 went into a bricked state with vague errors about corrupted system. I tried every toolkit, recovery and ROM and nothing worked. Thats when EthRem came to my rescue. Hopefully his work can come to yours as well.
and if that isn't what you meant and are just dying to get into OOS13, id just stick with one of the many A13 ROMs currently available. OOS13 is beautiful but, i just cant honestly suggest using Oneplus software anymore.
Good luck

try it again. if anything, you will be attempting on the other slot. Many haves had issues and it just started working.
it could have been slot related, or possibly some minor detail that is finicky. (ex. you usually want to start the msmtoolkit and let it stay in the "waiting for device" phase and plug in your phone (which should be in EDL mode . youll know by the peeps of it habitually connecting/disconnecting on your PC)
assure you have india selected, assure you have the proper conditionals on/off per the guide's explication.
Assure you have the qualcom drivers installed, and they reflect the naming convention.
follow along the guide again and Just keep attempting it and don't get discouraged. Part of the reason people offer guides here is that they themselves failed many times until they got they figured it out and are trying to save people from it.
youll get it, dont worry.

I had this problem because I flashed a custom kernel on a custom rom today
