Question How to flash stock firmware from Brom or Da mode - Samsung Galaxy A12

long story short i have a SM-a125u that i hard bricked in the process of trying to root , i think i flashed the wrong preloader or something but anyway i can get into brom mode and even as far as loading the firmware into sp flash tool and clicking start to flash but nothing happens when it starts , ive tried the auth bypass , ive trried every tool known to man, i have every file you could need for the phone , pit , scatter, preloader, entire firmware dump , everything if anyone knows what im doing wrong please let me know , id be happy with just getting download mode back to fix it

I think i might be having similar issues with my infinix mtk phone

the problem is similar, samsung a12, does not enter the modes, does not respond to charging, the computer sees it as an MTK port, but the program Odin does not see it, I don’t know what to do ..

By the way, the mtk_bypass_rev3 program understands it, when you press the start button, it does something, some green lines, but again, Odin does not see it ... is it possible to somehow install the stock firmware?

I'll upload the files to fix it in a second but it will change your device to sm-a125w or at least it did to mine anyway which is a good thing because it allows OEM unlock if you want to root. It's just the Canadian version but it works fine on American networks ...will upload shortly

[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.

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 (-:

Extract the firmware to a folder that you can easily access them from like your desktop
Download and install QPST from here
Open the QFIL application (Find it in your start menu)
In the "Select Build Type" field select Flat Build

I just got this device a couple days ago and was hoping I could use PDANet/Foxfi to connect more than one device at a time to wifi hotspot but they've evidently blocked the apps.. Do you have any insight to that?

DISREGARD. Looks like out of date info.
Any of you able to get fastboot working on it? ADB works, but my fastboot doesn't detect the phone.
Nice looking out, just ordered one.
Using one of the hidden activities app from the play store. There is an option to change from LTE to 2G/3G/4G under one of the phone settings. But calling still did not work with either AT&T or T-Mobile.

Just a heads-up: even if you found the files for the A0722, you'd brick your R2 if you managed to flash them. The chassis and screen seem to be the same, but they're completely different specs-wise. Given that the A0722 has a different SoC and an eMMC chip 2-4x larger, I doubt you'd get real far in the flashing process in the first place.

In my case my main goal was to use it and the factory software to learn about mbn files. I've dealt with LG's TOT and KDZ files but not the mbn's. Thanks for giving folks the warning though.
Would it be possible for someone to grab the download URL for whatever OTA update is available for the device? I don't think it's anything major but I'd like to poke around at it; the firmware uploaded here seems to be from launch.

I've got a logcat recorder queued up to be installed and will try to grab an url by starting the download. If that fails there are a couple of alternatives....someone who has DONE the upgrade could rip the rom and make it available if @deadman96385 can point to some instructions on how to rip the rom.
Also you can always let your own upgrade occur because he's already provided the original software and QFIL which would let you restore to original factory and get the update again.
As a last resort I can grab the log from my ROUTER that the phone is connected to and try to get the url that way which I've had to do with SOME devices.
I'll probably end up taking the OTA again anyways as I've been messing around with the firmware from the first post. Honestly, I'd really recommend staying away from flashing it without a good reason. Even when the flasher works, either the logging and/or the flasher hangs and it's close to impossible to tell which without unplugging your phone. If a partial flash leaves you in a state where you can't get to ADB to boot to EDL mode, you'll have to boot into diagnostics mode, use a piece of Chinese software to boot from there back to EDL, and within five seconds or so, close that software and start the flashing process from QFIL before the com port stops responding to requests, leaving you to reboot the phone and start again.
I've been trying to get non-LTE networks and calling working, but it's entirely impossible to tell whether my tweaks are having unintended side effects or if the flashing just crapped out partway through, even when I'm just flashing single partitions.

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.

** 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.

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

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...

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

I was trying to root my phone but i failed, doing so many wrong steps,now my samsung a7 is bricked, i cant charge it and i cant power it on, i also tried connecting it to a pc but the pc cant recognize it, any advice please to fix this? I really dont know what should i do now, thank you so much guys.
Can you talk us through the steps you did.
Is usb debugging enabled?
You may be able to use the samsung flashing software to recover but if you missed 1 or maybe 2 steps and have now wiped the device fully then you need to RMA. No os then no proof of your actions for a warranty claim to be rejected
enter download mode and flash firmware from Odin3

Im really sorry but i was actually not hard bricked, i thought i was hard bricked and i eventually got it turned on, so here is the whole story, i was about to root my phone and i watched a tutorial on how to but for some reason i trusted myself and didnt watch the video so i got into this situation, i enable USB debugging and OEM unlock( it deletes all of my files like a factory reset) i didnt know that i have to paste the magisk and the magisk apk to my phone and i flashed the bootloader thing from the tutorial i watched and then after that i decided to watch the tutorial and to my surprise the tutorial paste the magisk, so i panicked, i dont know what to do and i thought i was stucked at the downloading process so i decided to search more while panicking and i found that tenoshare Reiboot and Ult has this feature that will exit you to the downloading and now i tried them both but it failed, and i panicked more because now my phone just wont stop bootlooping so i just decided to drain its battery because its built in, i also tried flashing twrp but it cause me more panicking because it kind of glitches more so good thing i tried to go to downloading again by connecting to a pc and it worked, and the good thing is that the file i downloaded has a recovery flashable thing so i flashed it again, i escaped the teamwin bootloop and now i tried researching more causing me to figure it and i think i need to download the firmware again, but here is my biggest problem, i dont know the original place of the phone(i only know the country because its like a phone given only to me) i also dont know what is the original patch security of my phone( idk if its safe to just download the latest of the firmware) thank you for any advice

All you need is the correct firmware for your specific model number for your specific region/carrier and the firmware must have a binary that is equal to or higher than the binary of your currently installed firmware. The binary is indicated by the 5th character from the right in the firmware build number. Find that character in the build number of your currently installed firmware and compare it to the same character in the build number of the firmware that you want to flash. If the binary of the firmware that you want to flash is equal to or higher than the binary of your currently installed firmware then you can safely flash it, if the binary is lower than the binary of your currently installed firmware, you will not be able to flash the firmware that has a lower binary.

Hi, i was planning to root my samsung a7 but i have a question that i dont know the answer, if OEM Unlock is enabled, USB debugging is also already enabled, why my OEM unlocked says bootloader is already unlocked even thought its still blue and not gray? Do i need to void my warranty and make OEM unlock colored gray or is blue enough? Thanks for all advice
