[TOOL] Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools

Hi everyone!
I'm Saki, a long time tech enthusiast, Xiaomi fan and developer. More than a year ago I started working on a program, called Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools, that makes it easy to manipulate Xiaomi phones using ADB and Fastboot, which are official debugging tools for Android. They have command line interfaces and they can be used for a variety of things, including but not limited to uninstalling system applications, overriding screen density (DPI), enabling camera2 and flashing ROMs. This application makes their most popular features easily accessible to less tech-savvy users by providing a GUI to interact with.
Modules
App Manager - Uninstall/reinstall/disable/enable system apps and services on demand
Camera2 - Enable Camera2 and EIS (TWRP required)
File Explorer - Transfer files between a device and a computer using ADB
Screen density - Tweak screen density by overriding the DPI value
Screen resolution - Tweak screen resolution by overriding the width and height values
Device properties - Retrieve tons of statistics and information about your device
Flasher - Flash any partition with an image, boot to any image or flash a Fastboot ROM (unlocked bootloader required)
Wiper - Wipe the cache or perform a factory reset
OEM Unlocker & Locker - Lock or unlock the bootloader (unlocking is only supported by Android One devices)
ROM Downloader - Get links to the latest MIUI Fastboot ROMs or download them right away
Rebooter - Advanced rebooting options using ADB/Fastboot
The application has been in the works for over a year, some older versions even got posted on Reddit where the reception was overwhelmingly positive. The project is free and open-source, the source code is publicly available on GitHub so anyone can inspect the code or fork the project for themselves and add their own modifications to it if they want.
The Xiaomi/ADB Fastboot Tools was originally written in C# for Windows but I received a lot of requests to make it work on Mac and Linux so I rewrote the whole thing for the JVM, so it runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux as of today.
For more information, including instructions, screenshot, frequently asked questions and download, visit the project page on GitHub.
If you experience any issues, read the FAQ. If you cannot find the solution there, leave a comment here or open an issue case on GitHub. Feedback is highly appreciated!
For additional help with Xiaomi devices, feel free to visit the Xiaomi Community on Discord.
Thanks for reading and enjoy :angel:

Tell me. More about the EIS... Does it work with app like open camera...
Because EIS in Poco doesn't work in any camera app except stock camera

Not sure if there's anything different about the Poco, but the method used here is equivalent to enabling persist.camera.eis.enable. If you tried enabling that and you didn't get anything out of it, this won't make any difference. The options to enable Camera2 and EIS are mainly for Gcam.

With this tools it's more easy to remove the bloatware as with a regular minimal adb?

To me, checking a few boxes and clicking a button is much easier than entering a line of arguments for each application.

hi, i can't open it on my pc. i'm using windows 10 with java se development kit 11 and java runtime environment 8 installed.

Nice to see Xiaomi Reddit moderator here posting about the tool. For anyone asking: it works well for every MIUI version I tried. Though I've moved back to older version may be v2.0.0.2 cause that doesn't require java to run and I don't feel comfortable to install java bloatware just to use this tool.
Thank you Saki for the tool.

could you post link for that older version that doesn't require java

If you have the Java 11 SDK, you have the JRE 11 as well. I'm afraid you have to download and use JavaFX with that JRE or uninstall Java 11 to be able to use JRE 8.

It's in the original post. Be aware that it doesn't have nearly as many features and can also contain a few bugs I haven't come across.

Deep TEST fot OPPO RENO ACE(unlock bootloader)

OPPO's official website provides users with an official way to unlock bootloader.
coloros link:
https://bbs.coloros.net/graphic?id=1498611
you need to install the deeptest.apk to submit unlock request.
The application must meet all the following conditions:
1. The time to market must be more than 3 months;
2. No application record within 60 days;
3. The last consecutive login time of the OPPO account on this machine exceeds 60 days;
4. The number of in-depth test users has not reached the quota limit;
5. Non-government enterprises and operators customize mobile phones;
6. Support mobile phones listed in mainland China.
Unfortunately, there are currently no available quota.But if you want , you have to register an oppo account,and login time should more than 60 days.

So does this mean we can install custom rooms?

So... Hey guys,
I just wanted to let everyone know that I was actually able to flash the GSI from the link below on my OPPO Reno Ace:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/aosp-10-0-quack-phh-treble-t3992559
I am super new to all this, but I decided to take the risk anyways because I really wanted to get away from ColorOS. Luckily it worked out to the point that the phone seems functional so far (just flashed it as of writing this).
Disclaimer: Do this at your own risk! I am not responsible for what happens to your phone for following what I did. Please think twice before trying! Also remember to back-up your phone first!
Before I continue on how I got it to work, I got the Reno Ace Gundam edition. Not sure if that makes a difference but I thought this should be mentioned. Also since I couldn't find a version of TWRP for the Reno Ace; I followed the instructions on how to flash without it.
Here are all the main links I used:
Walkthrough for Deep Test app: https://forum.xda-developers.com/find-X/how-to/guide-how-to-apply-deep-testing-pafm00-t3888013
GSI: https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/aosp-10-0-quack-phh-treble-t3992559
Flashing Instructions and "vbmeta.img": https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/

Useful Key Word: Kedacom USB Device
*** Backup your phone before going forward.
Getting the Deep Testing app:
Now first, you do need to sign-up for an OPPO account. The link from the OP will take you to their site and you can sign-up from there.
- You will be required to login to your OPPO account in order to use the app.
- The file you download is named "Reno Ace深度测试.apk".
- Add ".apk" to the end of the filename if it's not already there. DO NOT rename the file.
- Once logged into your OPPO account on your phone, you stay logged in so you don't need to worry about actively logging in everyday.
- Next, follow the instructions on how to use the app from the Deep Test thread.
- Keep trying until your submission gets accepted, then the hardest part begins: you...wait...
- Once approved, it took ~2 days for me to be able unlock.
Make sure you have ADB ready on your computer:
- There are plenty of guides on it, so I'll just leave a link here; honestly I forgot the specifics already: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
Steps:
- Prepare your GSI: You can look for other GSI(s), but from my research it seems safest to get it from here first; before trying others: GSI thread
- This link explains what GSI are and how to choose which one to get.
- *Make sure to extract the ".img" file from the ".img.xz" zip file.*
- Download "vbmeta.img" from "Troubleshooting Tips" of the "Flash GSI without TWRP" section of the How to Flash GSI Guide.
-After you've extracted the ADB folder, keep the files (.img files) you intend to flash within the "platform-tools" folder.
*Noob tip lol: Clicking on the folder address and typing "cmd" is the quick way to open command prompt within the directory.*
- *** There are some unique steps for the Reno Ace, if not all OPPO phones, due to the Deep Testing app. ***
- After you get your approval, note that if you press the "Start Deep Testing" text you will be immediately put into fastboot mode. SO DO NOT PRESS IT NOW.
- Make sure you have OEM Unlock and USB Debugging enabled within Developer Options. Then connect your phone to your PC and set it to transfer files.
- On computer, open command prompt within the "platform- tools" folder. Enter the command "adb devices", when you see your device ID and "device" next to it, this means the phone has been connected. (If a prompt on your phone pop-ups, tap the "Always allow this computer to USB Debug" and "Allow". This is just what I did, not sure if it's necessary).
- Now go into the Deep Testing app on your phone, tap on "Queue status" and then "Start Deep Testing".
- You should see the images from this Oppo Find X tutorial, on your phone. Landing on the screen with the big green "Start" on top.
- Once you're here, enter "fastboot flashing unlock" into ADB and you'll move on to the next screen where you select "Unlock the Bootloader".
- After confirming, your phone will factory reset itself, and reboot into ColorOS again.
- Check to make sure your phone is connected to adb.
- From here on you follow "Flash GSI without TWRP" part of the How to Flash GSI Guide starting at step 2. If you have your ".img" files in the "platform-tools" folder then you can skip step 3.
- Before step 5 you need to flash the vbmeta: fastboot flash vbmeta name_of_vbmeta.img
Then flash the GSI ".img" file with fastboot -w flash system name_of_system.img.
(The comments there mentions that the "-u" is incorrect and should be "-w", which worked for me.)
* Important: without flashing "vbmeta.img" you'll be stuck in a boot loop because the phone prevents you from booting into the GSI. If this does happen, hold down Volume Down and Power until the phone vibrates to boot back into "fastboot mode". Enter "fastboot device" in ADB to confirm the phone is connected, and start over from step 4 in the How to Flash GSI Guide. *
- Once you finish step 6 your phone should boot into the GSI.
Hopefully this proves useful. I'm no expert, I simply found my way around things.
I honestly have no idea where to go from here, Magisk? LineageOS? If anyone can give me some pointers, that would be very much appreciated.
Things that are not working for me:
- Can't setup In-screen Fingerprint sensor

Would you mind giving a link to the twrp you found? I was searching around for one as well, but I couldn't find anything I felt comfortable with.
Also did you also flash a gsi? If you did, I was wondering if your headphone jack is working. Mine doesn't work anymore; the phone seems to recognize it, but no headphone icon shows up and sound plays through the speakers only.

Yes looks familiar it should be that one the twrp itself has Chinese and English languages.
Formatting and wipe is working otg also haven't really tested alot also you can flash ozip stock rom with it if you plan on rooting the boot gets corrupted but with the vbmeta bypasses it.
if you plan on installing V4A don't do the magisk module will bootloop have to look for the rootless V4A. (also need AML and the sound is great)
also don't change to f2fs i did it and the phone make weird noises went back to ext4.

Awesome! Thanks for the info, it will come in handy later on. Still just learning and getting familiar with all this.

A follow up after a couple of days of using phhusson's gsi.
Overall the phone is functioning very well. Generally smoother than on ColorOS.
Things to note:
- Battery life is good, same if not better than on ColorOS.
- Fast charge works. Full charge in around under 30 mins.
- Wi-fi works and Data works.
- Phone and Text work.
- Camera works.
- Headphone jack won't work until you go into the treble-settings (Phh Treble Settings) -> Qualcomm features -> and turn on "Use alternate audio policy"; then restart your phone. Then it will work again, although no headphone icons will appear. I don't use Headsets, so I couldn't test if that works as well.
- The phone will be rooted by default, so certain apps can't be downloaded, or used. (Root can be removed, but it doesn't seem like a good idea.) There are ways around this, but I didn't dive very deep into it.
Problems to note:
- In-screen fingerprint sensor can't be used.
- No auto-adjusting brightness.
- Brightness is a lot brighter than in ColorOS. Even lowest brightness is bright.
- Auto-Rotate is very sensitive and won't stay landscape when phone is flat on a table.
- Certain apps may not be full screen if you use the new gesture navigation. (Shadowverse)
- I didn't test Bluetooth or NFC. I don't use them much, or at all, so I'll follow up on that when the time comes and no one else has mentioned anything on them yet.
That should be all for now. Honestly very happy with the move. Hope this helps.
**Just an extra reminder that this is my experience with this specific gsi. **

Is this still available? I can't download the APK from Oppo, I logged onto my 'heytap' account but the download link just brings me to my account information.

Hide GPS Spoof Location Status on Android 10?

Hello all,
I'm new here and a huge noob so please bare with me. I'm looking to hide the spoof location status on my phone, so that I am able to bypass certain apps that don't respond to GPS Spoofing.
I came across [MODULE] Smali Patcher 7.4, but it was not recommended to use it using Android 10.
Are there any other options out there for me? If so, what are they?
Also, I am assuming I would need to root my device first? I have a Huawei P10, running Android 10, build number 11.0.0.170.
If someone could point me in the right directions I will be thankful!

But if you want to try the mock location found in developer options in phone settings you may use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.locationchanger

With Android the ALLOW-MOCK-LOCATION flag is set in its settings database under
Code:
Settings.Secure.ALLOW_MOCK_LOCATION
Hence every app that has root access can read this entry.

Yes, exactly, so I'm asking if there is a patch for this

unpack payload and images or root with rw permissions

hello to everyone​ i,m op8 os12 stock rom user and rooted as well
but i need to modify system few parts like build prop etc
i try many things to get rw access but failed
so there,s my first Q IS THIS POSSIBLE TO GET RW ACCESS IN OS12?
if possible then how? but incase its not possible then is this possible to unpack payload.bin
and modify system/vendor/product?
payload extracting is easy but is there any tool or kitchen which support these partitions unpack repack?

Why not just use a Magisk module?
Also, please make the font on your post more clear. The "black on gray" text is really cumbersome to read.

I believe an application is on the Play Store where you can edit your build. prop.
There's modules such as Pixelify that "change" your device into a Pixel.

Question How to activate Call Recording (Android 12)

Hi there all!
I'm a quite novice user that desperately needs call recording for my OnePlus Nord CE 2. I've tried the other way that worked for Android 11, but in my case in never works (I complete the installation but you never see the record button on the OnePlus dialer).
I'm from EU. Is there any way to bypass this obstacle? Will the joneplus tools solution work for my case?
Thank you,
Happy New Year folks,
Saboteur

Hi, I can confirm that the magisk module Basic Call Recorder works:
GitHub - chenxiaolong/BCR: A Basic Call Recorder for rooted Android devices

But your phone needs to be rooted for it to work.

Thank you trohn!
Still my phone is not rooted (and I'm not quite sure how I could succeed in this task!). Is there any easy way to do it?

Sry for the late reply! While the task isn't trivial for beginners, it can be done easily by following tutorials.
Basically you just need to unlock your bootloader, download the firmware/rom file you currently have intalled, extract the boot.img from it, copy the boot.img on your phone, download and install magisk app on your phone, patch the boot.img and flash it via magisk, done.
