I share the same feelings with you

hii
i was using cn build 6.1.7 everything was fine
then popup for update i went to website and download full rom 6.1.14
then i renamed that downloaded file to update.zip and paste in the main sdcard folder
then i have already installed TWRP Recovery i went there and apply that update.zip
then twrp applied that zip and then i clicked reboot after applying it sucessfully.
then it stuck on MI Logo for 4 hours and then the same i tried everything nothing is working only i am able to enter fastboot mode.
i even tried Stable and DEV build both via MI PC Suite but it stuck at 50% saying " sending pmic.mbn "
Now from 3 days i dont have phone Really frustated even i applied with both accounts [email protected] and [email protected] none of them is approved yet for unlocking Bootloader.
MY BIGGEST PROBLEM IS I HAVE CRITICAL AND CONFIDENTIAL DATA ON MY STORAGE CARD and Photos also but thanks to google photos for auto syncing it to cloud.
PLEASE TELL ME ANY METHOD TO COPY STORAGE CARD DATA WHERE MY MOBILE FULL BACKUP IS THERE WITH LOCAL BACKUP FACILITY OF MIUI NEW ROMS
IF I UNLOCK BOOTLOADER IT WILL WIPE DATA WHICH I DONT WANT
ATLEAST SHOW ME WAY HOW I CAN INSTALL ANY ROM WEATHER DEV OR STABLE OR WITHOUT ANYPERMISSION I NEED TO START MY PHONE I AM FADEUP
EVERYTHING IS IN CHINESE AS WELL really Frustated please DEVS PLEASE MI HELP

We are in the same boat mate..
Standing to lose all the data on my fone..
Thanks to xiaomi..

We are aware of this issue and we are working on a fix. My personal opinion this "locked bootloader" is useless.. If someone doesnt want to play around with it they will just leave it. Anyway... The should be an update of Mi Suite soon that will fix this problem, thank god that I didnt update lol

Well most beta testers used Xiaomi's reccovery which worked fine with the update so they did not end up in a bootloop but for users like us using TWRP it was otherwise. Try doing a request again maybe? Write bit more details etc. I do apologise for the inconvenience of this update being released, I'm happy i never updated myself as I do use my phone a lot for business purposes which is very vital.

I'm using this, is it the older version? working well.
xiaomi.eu_multi_leo_V7.1.4.0.LXHCNCK_v7-5.1.zip
No updates showing in updater. I s everyone saying they now have no phone?
I need phone for work why am I having no issues.
I see no way back as the update disables fastboot. Luck and only luck stopped me applying the update.

Posted another req for unlock..keeping my fingers crossed..

So whats the best course of action? thinking return to stable, lock bootloader and sell. Anyone got a better idea?

I am on 5.11.19 for a long time but today, somehow, the 6.1.7 got downloaded and now it asks "reboot to apply update": is there a way to avoid it?

Exactly what @arkabose said. You can also disable automatic download.

So this looks like the only option for the lucky ones who haven't locked their bootloader.

1. Due to large amounts of requests, please wait for 10-12 days after submitting your application. If you haven't get any info after 10-12 days, please make a thread on en.miui with your Xiaomi account number, we will check it for you. Thanks for understanding
2. The unlocking procedure only supports MIUI China developer version (6.1.12 or later version) currently. MIUI China stable version will get supported in future updates
3. Some Mi Note Pro users could not unlock bootloader after updating to 6.1.12. This issue will be solved in the next update

N950U hardbrick...help

HI, I bricked my N950u after rooting with the SamV2 method for snapdragon. I rooted it fine, then tried flashing stock firmware and supersu zip. I know snapdragon is bl locked but I thought I could possibly do something besides hard brick lol. Anyway, does a rooted n950u that they could share a partial or full sys dump with me so I can make a debrick img. Also if anyone knows how to un/debrick please let me know and share. Thanks in advance!!!!
P.s. I know it was stupid to do lol
p.p.s. if your not going to contribute to the solution and or insult my foolish decision please keep your comments to yourself, thanks

You cannot debrick. What does your phone do?
EDIT: you probably are not bricked anyway. Actually you might be bricked if you flashed stock rev1 firmware instead. That would brick you...

I definitely am bricked because my pc picks the phone up as "HS-USB QDLOADER 9008" i.g. hard brick. Doesnt boot into odin, no display on the phone but vibration feedback when trying odin button combo

Yup. Thats 100% a hardbrick. Unfortunatly the debrick img method doesnt work on this phone. Only way to fix at this moment is a carrier swap. Thats how I got mine fixed.

Carrier swap? can you explain a bit more? But I believe if I had a system dump for the note 8 I can make a un/debrick image just like previous Samsung devices. I'm willing to try but i dont have the software needed

Mine died in the middle of an update and when i got it back on a computer it was in 9008. Was unable to fix it. took it to my carrier as I have insurance and they replaced it.

Long shot but... qfil / firehose msm8998 is the way to go with this. Can be done, the hard part is getting the firehose programmer (and maybe rawprogram0 / patch0 xmls too)
Isnt it supported by Z3x / Sigma / Infinity / Octoplus?
Doesnt that "aryk" site have a load of programmer files that could work with your device?
Failing that, JTAG / EMMC flash (pinouts should be around somewhere)
Sorry can`t be more help. I`m working on a similar issue with a Moto Z2 play atm
EDIT: I`m sure the 835 (what you have) supports booting from the SD card.
You need to ask someone with a rooted Snapdragon N8 to make a copy of the first 167(ish) MB of mmcblk0
Like this... (Brief idea... whoever does this needs to do it obviously from shell, on the device itself wether thats from TWRP shell or ADB in *nix / Win thats up to you)
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/Loader.img bs=1024 count=168960
Once some kind soul has done this for you and you have downloaded it, write the resulting image to decent SD card using Win32diskimager, place in device and try booting. See if the bootloader runs enough to get you into ODIN.
YMMV but it is a recovery method for Snapdragons. Weather you overwrite EFS / Lose IMEI I don`t know. Only just getting back into Sammy scene.
It is kind of like a failsafe incase of EMMC corruption I think.
I can`t help with this sadly as I`m Exy

Sorry maybe u already tried it but here in UK there is a **** ton of mobile repair shop and in some of them are some heavy dutie geeks.
Maybe look around your area and see if you can find someone with big passion for problem solving.

Just got my Note 8. But I remember hard bricked phones in the past brought back to life with jtag devices. Anyone try Jtag device or gotten Jtag service done to hard bricked Note 8?
Last tax season was supposed to buy 1, but car issues. I know they're expensive. But if they can fix phones with ease. Then well worth it.

I have unbrick files for flashing qdl9008 mode for bootloader rev 2.
If you are on samfail v2 or v2.5 maybe ot the normal rev 2 bootloader they should work.
Let me know if you need them.

S10 frp Bypass

Hey Guys

(If youre try to unlock the device ist successfully i can give you some Money)
Direct Massage me and than i will give you some more informations about the device. There we can talk about the Money and how It will get to you.
Thank you dir youre Attention

Flashing /system to remove reactiviation lock
Reactivation lock is activated when the device was reset while wiped via either ADB or Recovery (likely either you or the seller stole it). You will need to flash the newest firmware for your device & carrier using Odin. You can usually find these on SamMobile if it isnt avaliable anywhere else. After its reflashed setup the device without a internet or sim card installed. If y oku have any trouble using Odin there are plenty of tutorials on it avaliable online.

multimesc frumos!! (because XDA rules state that we must post in english, this translates to "thanks a ton!!")
So, ive been on the Transfagarasan, the Transraraul, Sibiu, Brasov, Sigisuara, Castle Bran, Lacul Rosu (The Red Lake) and a few other treasures! We didnt get a chance to make it to Iasi either time yet despite its proximity to Piatra Neamt, which is where we call our home base. I am honestly curious to get your perspective on what are some of the best things to do/see in Romania. Doesnt have to be something like the people palace, i like real stuff. Restaurants that make the best ciorba(soup) and mancare(stew) or just a relaxing lakeside getaway. Do you have any places you think a goofball American might like?

S10 got stuck at firmware update.

Hello there, I'm stuck with a situation and I can't fix the phone.
I live in Canada and I bought the phone here (Canadian software version and also unlocked) and gave it to a relative who lives in the USA to use. Recently, she has a firmware update notification from her phone, however, it always gets stuck at 28%, and the download fails. So she plugged the s10 device into her computer and used Smart Switch to download the new firmware. After she finished downloading it, she clicked to install the new firmware on her phone. That's when the problem starts... She got stuck on this screen forever and she even tried to soft reset/restart the phone but it just went back to that screen.
What I think happened was it's a Canadian version phone but the new firmware is the US version and it tried to install and crashed.
Could anyone give me some advice on fixing this problem?

for sure man, i sometimes skip the long winded Odin stuff because ive typed out like 3 paragraphs of Odin instructions and the person i was replying to already knew 75% of what i just typed LOL
aaaaanyways, downloading Odin from a trusted source isnt an issue. Ive downloaded soooo many versions of Odin over the years and from so many different places, i cant imagine an infected Odin. Im sure they exist, but ive never seen one. ive got Odin from here before, and it was fine. Also, yes, youd definitely want to download the canadian version of it. You should be able to flash the U1 version (fully unlocked) so long as you have a snapdragon processor, but youd need whats called "Patched Odin" to do it. The U1 thing is kind of a tangent, but youll find out that there are a TON of rabbit holes you can find yourself in from time to time. The best thing to do is to just flash the FW for the model of phone you own unless you plan on tinkering. sammobile.com/firmwares is where you want to search for the FW and samfirm is an exe youre going to want to use to actually download the FW itself. Samfirm downloads it literally 5x faster.

For the firmware, do I just download the latest one for Canada Version? There are so many links so do I just click on Canada (the one without Provider) and Do i download PDA or CSC or both? My phone is unlocked already btw. Also will i able to flash my phone even though it is currently stuck in the "BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH"?
I even tried to you the samfirm to download the firmware but it keeps saying authorization failed after I filled in the blank and clicked update.

yep. sorry, i forgot to mention that part. Zero worry tho, its just a thing caused by the bootloader that your phone was most recently on being too new for the FW youre trying to flash. Thats whats causing the binary error, the binary currently installed is greater than the one youre trying to install so the phone wont physically allow it. Its not even a software thing, it gets hard coded. Anyways, get the most current one and reflash. It wont fail again with the same reason on the newest firmware, but if it does fail, try a different cable, download the file again. it might have corrupted during the download. If youre not using patched Odin, you literally cant screw it up so badly you cant recover it

thanks you! I used Frija to download the latest Canadian version of the firmware. Next step do I just use the Odin to flash and follow the instruction on sammobile websites? Can I flash the new firmware without deleting data on my phone?

yep, when flashing the 4 parts of the FW, the home_csc will not wipe your userdata, csc will factory reset. let us know if you run into trouble, but you shouldnt have any issues. it sounds like you got this

Thank you so so much! I fixed the phone and it works now. For future firmware updates, I have to do this every time? Is there any option that i can change my firmware permanently to the US version so that I can get auto-update on the phone instead of using ODIN every time?

SM-R845F bricked after flasing combination software with netodin

Hi, I tried flashing my galaxy watch 3 (SM-R845F) with combination software (to then proceed to all the necessary steps in order to change CSC), but after all the flashing process went through, I received a fail message. Now my watch is bricked and I understand there could be an etoken issue that somehow needs to be taken care of, yet not sure if this applies to my specific case. Could anyone help? thx

More details...
For instance...
A
Filenames... because more then 1 file exists...
B
netOdin and also Odin "talks" to you... this called Logfile...
B.1
To capture this log...
Photo and or Screenshot...
B.2
This is f. text... you can Copy and Paste
C
Please define bricked... especially in your case...
Watch is not more swimming? Flying? Or cooking?
Tiny hint...
With Crystal Ball on...
Your Combination Firmware was still with meta-data folder...

Hi, thx for your help. Things have evolved a bit. I was following technoproz's video (
) to see if I could change my CSC in order to get samsung pay working on my SM-845F . I hence started flashing it with the combination file (COMBINATION FT55 R845FSQU1AUB1, I also tried with 3 or 4 earlier releases, same issue) but on reboot it would initially get to a splash screen (can't remember what it would say) and then was permanently hooked onto a boot loop . However, on reboot, it would allow me to access the reboot menu, get to wifi hotspot mode, and I was able to connect it to odin ( I use netodin 3, 1.0) . I reflashed it with it's firmware (R845FXXU1CTJ5 Tizen 4File) and the watch is now working again (maybe just a few changes from the version it initially came with). Unfortunately, when I check the logfile, it only registered the last activity, in this case, my firmware reflash (so nothing related to the previous combination flashing), which went fine. Was wondering wether the initial combination flashing bricking/boot loop issue could be related to some flags I would need to check on the otions tab in netodin..
However, my issue still remains unsolved, i still can't change my CSC to italy (that's where I am right now) to setup samsung Pay, but most of all to set up the esim.
Thanks for any suggestions

CSC Change - Model R845U
Hi guys, I really need some help please. I have the US model R845U LTE and I'd like to change the CSC to ITV (Italy) to get the latest updates as mine is stuck to R845USQU1BTK2. I am following the procedure of Technoproz but I need to be sure...

And you are sure changes are made...
IMHO you can pull the files again and check...

This night another time Samsung or banco Santander locate my smartwatch (Spain region and PHE) and erase my card... So they locate the serial number I think, so for me it's nothing to do...
