Bought an FRP locked phone, need a serial number

I bought a phone that was FRP locked (I know, stupid me) and cannot access the serial number in order to emergency flash it with Smart Switch. Can someone please share their serial number with me so I can reflash it? If not, does anyone have any help? I am on G920PVPU3CPF4

Even doing a SmartSwitch (or Odin) flash won't remove the lock. No amount of flashing or resetting will remove it. The lock is stored in a hidden partition that is never touched by flashes and resets.
There are ways to remove the lock, but they're paid services offered by professionals

Incorrect. FRP is held in a partition that is not touched during a firmware flash

Flashing firmware can't fix an FRP lock - period.
If you want to know what that poster meant by his message, I suggest you ask him directly

Samsung phones can be frp unlocked by flashing firmware
I have personally FRP unlocked 2 Samsung phones by flashing the stock firmware usin Odin. A samsung j7 and a Samsung s5. I am getting so sick of people saying you can't do something when they have no clue. I have also flashed older versions into phones. That's how I rooted the s5 infact. When everyone was saying it was impossible to root at the time. As soon a I figure out how to use sp flash or something to flash different phones other than Samsung I will post saying how it worked not get on someone else's post and say it will never work it's impossible. The world of computers, phones and software is suppose to be open source not locked, hidden and full of viruses.

LOL.
The FRP data is stored in the "persistent" partition, which is never touched by a firmware flash, just like EFS and a bunch of other partitions.
So no.

That doesn't matter when the phone no longer has a persistent partition.

You obviously think you know something and I wont argue or dispute whether you do or dont but I know what I did for sure and what I did was flash stock firmware into those phones and they where no longer FRP locked afterwards. Also When the phone is bricked the phone is flashed blank. There are no patitions if flashed blank. Even when there is persistent data it's still data that is able to be edited with a custom rom which can be flashed after you flash stock rom. I dont know much but I know what I have done personally. My wife is still using her rooted j7 with note 8 D.N.A undetected that we bought f.r.p. locked.
So ya. Just because the internet says it's not possible doesn't mean it's not possible It just means you haven't tried hard enough to prove it yourself. Brick that phone if you have to. Build with that brick.

I own a business that does FRP removals and many other software-related services for mobile devices . I've done this for years - knowing this type of thing is literally my job.
The "persistent" partition is ALWAYS there - just like system, boot, recovery, and all the others. And I promise you, you can't remove an FRP lock by throwing it in Download mode and flashing some firmware with Odin, just like you can't remove it by booting to recovery mode and doing a factory reset. It's just not that easy.

Your going to need to go against the grain her a moment . Business or no business

I'm telling you. I'm not debating the facts. Im telling you what I did. Kinda like I did today with a Moto e4 play. I bypassed frp with flashing stock rom through Odin and then custom rom on the Samsung J7. Today I bypassed frp lock with twrp on the Moto e4 with the bootloader still saying OEM locked . I don't have a business in the phones field but I am a business man and sittin on 12 frp locked phones gets tire some. Thant goodness for broken digitizers and displays or I'd still have a bunch more of them. I wont dipute that you know what your doing because likely you do more so than I; we can can probably be certain. I'm just going to tell you the 100 percent fact. Upset wife as my motivating factor I successfully unlocked and rooted a j7 by flashing stock rom into it with Odin then custom reccovery then root then custom rom. The custom recovery I used by accident was for a different brand Jay 7 so mysecond time around I tried the "right" recovery and bricked it. Then again and again and again until Knox was tripped and that's when finally I took bl,ap cp, csc and flashed them in dl mode successfully from there I had Rob from simple cell unlock ( Thanks Rob your the best) remotely unlock the jay7 from T-Mobile after which I flashed the "wrong" proper twrp file giving me the ability to install custom note 8 dna rom into the system. Took two tries, first try I flashed no encrypt no verity but it custom rom frp locked. So second time I made sure I install the developer tools package with OEM unlock switch not able to be turned off then no encrypt no verity. It was a very long process since especially since it was only my second successful full root. Then vallet. Man becomes praised by wife. Man feels empowered man tears apart more phones makes mess, MAN HAPPY! WIFE HAPPY! LOL okay sorry about that part.

None the less each developer has a different approach that being said you frp unlocking phones? I have a Samsung s8 Moto e5 five LGs one zte n835 a couple of alcatels and a few more I couple reassemble real quick If I knew some one who had the abilitby to unlock especially if said amazing developer was teaching El padawan young Como. Yo tango mucho programs, apps and software. Just need the knowledge.

Thinking you can flash TWRP on a locked bootloader device shows me exactly what your knowledge level is when it comes to all of this. Future discussion would be futile, and no more responses from me will be had. I do wish you luck with your devices though

How frustrating you are.
Your business need some schooling it sounds like. Your business can't be doing good. Go ahead and Google the Moto e4 unlock method. You will see. You have to try before you say it won't work.

I just removed the frp lock on my s6 using a combination firmware (found here-https://firmware.gem-flash.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=7410) which completely erased all partions and allowed me to access the settings menu to enable the OEM unlock setting. They are two different firmware there. I used the second one and it worked like a charm. Hope this helps

MIUI 12 Update via OTA

V 12.0.2.0 QGGMIXM --just got a notification.
Anybody try it out yet?

I'm interested in knowing if the upgrade slows down the phone. Since it is difficult to downgrade, I'm waiting to here from others

No upgrade in the UK yet.

I did it cause I always do it after a big one is out, but it doesn't help at all. This firmware looks good, it has several very nice features...but it needs more polishing if you ask me. My phone was the best with Android 9 firmware, after Android 10 update it was also OK but not that nice as before...now it is even worse...

Years ago I had a Sony Experia phone. At some point an major update became available. However, along with the release notes was a explicit warning that the resource use of the update is greater, and that the performance of the phone may degrade. Further it warned that this would be irreversible as reverting was not possible.
I don't know if Sony still does this, but I think all manufacturers should. Even Apple IOS degrades performance after a few upgrade cycles on old devices, which is also irreversible unless an unlock hack is released.
Each person should be informed and be able to decide. Do I want the latest features and security, and willing to sacrifice speed?

I dont know how to describe, it is more like stuttering animation. It just doesn't look nice. Icons also make some strange thing if you make them bigger.
This firmware looks like the first major iOS beta, if you ever had iPhone....

Just installed it. It feels okay, as advertized. But I don't have it's main attraction on my device. WHERE IS MY SUPER WALLPAPER????
And about downgrading, you can dirty flash your phone to any version (but don't downgrade your Android version, as some apps may render useless) via MiFlashtool. Use "save user data" option. Anti Rollback is not exist on Begonia. God thanks they didn't **** this phone further.
Edit: I've been using super wallpaper long before tho and applied via quick shortcut maker, but it didn't appear in wallpaper picker as it should be.

My device have Magisk, EdXposed, and OrangeFox installed.
As flashing by custom recovery may render bootloop, and flashing by fastboot mode via MiFlash Pro reject downgrade, the only solution left is either XiaomiFlash or SP Flashtool. But SP Flashtool is locked to service account, so your only choice is XiaomiFlash.
I've red every flash command on XiaomiFlash, and the "Save user data" option format every partition EXCEPT user data (/data and emulated storage), basically the same operation to be performed when you install any rom via any custom recovery.
Fastboot flash leave the data intact for upgrading, but rejects downgrade. But in XiaomiFlash, as I wrote above, it should work bidirectional.
And don't worry about Anti Rollback. Since I've bootlooped over and over, I've performed countless Downgrade and Upgrade. But do at your own risk tho.
Hope that help.

That makes sense, as it feels like it is a beta, an early one. I just hope they will fix it and make it feels nicer for everyday use, but knowing Xiaomi and how many devices they make on a daily basis, I am not that sure...

General Warning about the MSM tool

Just as a reminder: the MSM tool resets your device and locks the bootloader. If for whatever reason, you modified partitions that are not touched by the MSM tool (like param, persist, etc), there is a chance your device will fail the integrity check and will not boot with the red message "Your device is corrupt". If you're at this stage, there is no good way to get you back. Maybe someone knows how to toggle "enable oem unlock" without being able to boot to OS, but without that ability, your device is essentially hard bricked.

Is it what happen to your device ? Hopefully you could recover ?

I came across the corrupt message twice during my rooting mission hold down pwr+vol up+vol down until it shut off, then held down all three buttons til it turns on and it went into bootloader mode. It did take several tries but it got there. Then I could oem lock/unlock and reboot to a fresh system. Now I didn't mess with my partitions so maybe that is something deeper but it's worth a try.

Yeah, we can get to the bootloader and EDL mode. However, we can't fastboot oem lock/unlock because OEM lock/unlock option is not togged in the System -> Dev options -> OEM Unlocking. This is a T-Mobile device, so not only that, we need to flash cust-unlock first which is not possible with OEM unlocking disabled in dev options.

The MSM for the 2127 is actually available now via remote support, just nobody has posted it online yet. That's where this warning comes from. Another user was able to run the 2127 MSM on his phone, and now it's bricked

I thought there was a command for the oem tick switch?

Might be a good idea to update the thread title as it's misleading. Makes it look like the normal MSM tool is going F someone's normal variant device. Most people don't have the crappy T-Mobile variant. I understand saving a quick Buck is important though.

Rooting only touches the boot partition and that's fine. Even flashing AA/BA/DA is fine because all of those partitions will just get overwritten by the MSM. Things only start to get dicey when you start messing with param, persist, and the likes.

Just theoretical question: would flashing the device to something else like LineageOS (if there was working version) help? Or is the partitions check on HW/FW level?

Question Anyone bricked/EDL/9008 their ROG 6?

Follow and complain here.
Let ASUS know their bootloader implementation is VERY NOT FRIENDLY to us. I've been modding my Android devices since the Android 2 era and this is the first time I encountered an UNOFFICIALLY UNRECOVERABLE state which is a HORRIBLE experience.
Me? Have played with
Samsung(S5 to S9 and Tab/Odin is a good thing)
XiaomiRedmiPoco(Main device for me today, very modder friendly and robust)
Huawei(Remember when they allow applying for BL unlock?)
Apple(LOL jailbreak from A4 SoC until iPhone X(meantime Samsung S8 looks gorgeous) lost my interest)
And various small brands or exited market big brands(honorable mention Lenovo LePhone C101. My first smart device/Android and received big community support at the good old time)
ASUS. Fix your buggy BL. Fix your policy. Release everything we need to fix OUR DEVICES of OURSELVES. Just ONE step closer to perfect.

Just imagine how stupid is this:
Everytime you want to update you operating system, your UEFI/BIOS firmware might break.
And worse, that you don't have free official resources to fix it?
And can it be worse? Yes! Your Warranty is maybe void because you may unlocked bootloader, now supposedly only ASUS service center have the file to fix it.
Ha now it's interesting. That's the era of ANTITRUST. Even Apple won't do it(Worst case DFU, easily fixable using OFFICIAL iTunes).
WT*?

yeah dude i'm bricked up rn

Paid here, paid there.
Yeah sure.
Exploit people.

Perhaps instead of ranting about asus, you could tell us what you have done exactly to brick your device, and someone might be able to help you ? can you get into fastboot at all?

EDIT: quoted content removed.
Never use this firmware, because it has not been modified, 100% of fingerprints and IMEI will be lost after use. You need to modify the firmware before you can flash it.

1\ The fastboot code in their bootloader have bugs, any CORRECT command you type can easily break bootloader then stuck you in 9008.
2\ The normal update method failed because THEIR UPDATER did do things wrong.
3\ They refuse to provide official ROM to let yourself fix it. SEND IT TO ME TO FIX IT, AND I MIGHT CHARGE YOU SOME.
....\
N\ You go talk to Apple about it because they are experts about saying YOU USED IT WRONG.

Anyone asked for help gets it for free so far.
All devs on my chat group agree at least fastboot flashable should be available on the official download page.
MOD EDIT: off topic content removed

If you can boot into fastboot you can just flash the RAW ROM file available a few days ago. It's not bricked in this case.

First of all: stay calm and don't randomly try things in panic mode, that usually makes it worse. Detail your problem a bit further, explaining all steps that lead to the bootloop. You still have fastboot, that's a good start. Breathe

Have you tried flashing official firmware images? I'm not really familiar with Xiaomi but it shouldn't require a bootloader unlock. In any case it should be covered under warranty if you don't want to go too deep down the rabbit hole...

Yes, I used an official firmware from Xiaomi This baffles me, why does he want to unlock the bootloader if it is official?
