My device isn't detected when I click on "Enum" button
Go to device manager and make sure your phone shows up as QDLOADER 9008.
If it shows up as QHUSB_BULK, it means Qualcomm driver wasn't installed automatically by Windows Update. Download the latest one from Microsoft website at http://download.windowsupdate.com/c..._fba473728483260906ba044af3c063e309e6259d.cab (source https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=qualcomm hs usb 9008 ) and install it manually by right clicking on QHUSB_BULK and selecting "Update driver software" and "Browse my computer for driver software" to where you downloaded CAB file.
MSM tool is stuck on "Param pre-processing"
Ensure you're using the Qualcomm drivers linked in first part of this FAQ.
What is SMT Download mode?
Just don't try to unlock that mode, it will wipe your IMEI and your Widevine certificate if you use it.

Does this mean that soon we can install international ROM to our phone even without sim unlocking it?

No, it just allows you to go back to stock T-Mobile firmware in case you bricked your device.

Did they successfuly flash your phone with the attached file? Their level 2 techs are complete idiots and keep trying the wrong software. So is it correct this time?

That's the best thing I could have read all week.

I've heard this is what we've been waiting for to convert to International firmware. I see above that it can't be used for that. What needs to happen before we can convert?

Lots of testing. This year's convert process has be a tad bit harder due to OnePlus trying to make things a tad more difficult for us. Just stay patient and it will come soon in some form of manner.

So another little update. I managed to convert(a dirty way) and it involves at least being bootloader unlocked. I waited a week and got my code and immediately did this. This method isn't released yet but if you guys are interested in testing and have some skills in edl and know your way around python or adb please PM ME. We can get you into our testing group temporarily and try some methods to get you converted. This will be per discretion by me. If I don't think you can help I'm NOT going to add you.

Nice. I unfortunately need to wait until a bootloader unlock is possible since T-Mobile refuses to unlock mine.

This is really, REALLY good news. Well done, Joe!!

Call Recording and Indonesia ROM

Just got a Redmi Note 8 Pro with Global ROM and discovered that call recording won't work due to Google/Android Pie limitations.
After some searching, I found (on this forum) that the Indonesia ROM supports call recording on this phone.
Here are my questions:
1. Will burning a different ROM affect my warranty?
2. Will I lose any functionality by switching from Global to Indonesia ROM, and if so, what? Specifically, will NFC functionality be affected?
3. If I ever do a factory reset, will the phone revert to Global ROM?
4. I found the Indonesia ROM files here. There are three files called Recovery, OTA, and Fastboot. Do I need them all? If so, do they need to be burned in any specific order?
5. Where can I find complete instructions for burning the Indonesia ROM? I am new to Xiaomi, and the last time I burned a ROM to a phone was 5 years ago (Samsung); I don't remember anything, so I'd like instructions that assume nothing and don't skip any steps (instructions for intelligent dummies). I found these instructions for installing TWRP, but there's nothing about what to do next, and there's a list of pre-requisites with no explanations (Unlocked Bootloader, Phone Drivers, ADB and Fastboot Drivers), making the instructions insufficient for a noob like me.
Thanks much.

Hey,
Before going any further you first need to make sure what region is your phone. Is it a Chinese phone (bought from AliExpress for example) or a real Global phone (bought from a local store/official retail). Because you could very well own a Chinese phone shipped with a Global Rom flashed on it and this could result in some problems for you in terms of what you can do with it and how you can do it.
If you bought/received a phone with already unlocked bootloader, you should return it.
Unlocking bootloader should only be done by you when you need it.
1. Technically unlocking bootloader, ESSENTIAL step prior flashing anything, void your warranty.
However and that's what is interesting, if at some point you decide to flash back your original region rom (here Global) and lock back bootloader, none will know but Xiaomi servers you once unlocked this device certainly not a local reseller. So in term of warranty you should be safe, that is of course unless you brick your phone doing stuff you were not supposed to do with a locked bootloader if you are following.
2. If not mistaking, I think you loose NFC. Indian phones for sure do not have NFC at all, for their version, the chip was replaced with a 2nd SIM card tray (not shared). Not sure if you read the functionality afterward using rooted tricks.
3. No that does not work this way. When you are running a Rom, any version, if you factory reset that room, you just return to installation screen of that given Rom.
To return to Global Rom, you will need to reflash that Global Rom using the same method you did successfully flashing the Indonesian Rom (or any other rom) for example.
Would be wise to first download the exact version of the Rom you are currently using on your phone for archives purpose (BURN IT on good quality medias!) to revert back to it when/if needed. You can also archives OTA updates of that version you may not have taken yet to apply them manually if you ever revert back to that Global Rom and want to.
4. Different versions depends on what you are doing. In your case Fastboot version is what you need at the moment. You can find all different kind of versions of Roms for your RN8PRO on that site
As for the way to flash them, order and everything, you will need to look for guides online,
I dont think any order matters, just make sure to flash them all before rebooting disconnecting device. But if you are unsure of what you are doing, you'd be probably best using a tool such as MiFlash.
5. Here you can find one from the MIUI community website guiding you through the use of MiFlash to flash a stock Rom on your device.
Just note you do not have to use any tools to flash the .images of all partitions, you can easily doing it from command line using fastboot flash command one after an other.
Also note that installing TWRP is usually not needed to flash stock Roms (unlike flashing custom roms). Trying to mess up with the recovery partition is actually what seem to brick most of the devices.
However please note UNLOCKING your BOOTLOADER is MENDATORY.
Hope this helps.
Regards,

doesnt matter if you switch to any rom variant .i have switched mine to indonesian ,europe and indian and alll worked fine execpt indian version felt a bit laggy .just download the fastboot version of the rom and flash it through mi flash tool xiaomiflash .your bootloader needs to be unlocked and dont forget to check cleann all button in mi flash and dont check clean and lock

I have got global version and changed imei with unlocked bootloader. Can i flash indonesian rom without lose f my imei?
Thanks in advance for your answers

Muad.Dib,
Thanks for your detailed reply.
If I understand correctly, unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty just the same as rooting the phone, so if all I want is to get call recording, I may as well just root the phone and save the bother of flashing a different ROM.
Does that make sense to you, or do you see any advantage to flashing a different stock ROM instead of just rooting the phone? From past experience I've seen that rooting has additional benefits anyway.
BTW, I bought my phone on Banggood. It was advertised as Global ROM, and that appears to be what it has. As soon as I turned the phone on it updated to MIUI Global 11.0.2.1; I don't know what version it was before the update.

You're welcome, I am happy if I was useful to you in any kind of ways.
Well yes and no. Yes apparently you 'could' achieve call recording when rooted (yet I still fail doing so even if I installed the default MUI apps module I got from Telegram group. The setting to automatic recording is set to on yes, but I dont see recordings in the supposed destination folder nor I can see a simple button to record any voicecall I used to have on older versions of Android. Me failing to make it work - I did not try very hard to be honest - does not mean you cannot find someone who succeeded into doing so in that telegram group for RN8PRO).
That said it would not be a 'native' solution, just a patch/workaround. If it works well great, if not, well...
On an other hand by flashing to a Rom which does support it natively, well you are covered for the use you need.
So the advantage I see (with the included disadvantages) is better support for the function which is not supported for privacy reasons en Glob/EU market.
Does that come at a price?
Probably.
For example are you ready to trade off NFC for native call recording support? That may be a choice you have to make in the end. Again that said, if you root your phone on that new Rom, install NFC drivers manually as root (I see no reasons why that would not be possible after all) you may be able to patch NFC on that other Rom since unlike Indonesians market phone, you do have NFC hardware.
For example, myself, I wish I could have made that kind of bargain/trade off, giving up that NFC feature I have no need for, to get 8GB or Ram + 2x Sims + SD and not an hybrid tray. Unfortunately that's not the kind of trade I could make here in EU unless I would have ordered directly from Amazon.in (assuming that would have been possible) or third party website, but that was not possible for warranty reasons among other things.
Hope this helps.

Yes it does as it is officially available in every variant expect indian variant.

UPDATE:
I finally had the time to test the MIUI-default-apps Magisk module available for download on Telegram group, originally made for MIUI 11.0.1.0, and it works properly on MIUI 11.0.2.0 EEA. Does not require changing Rom.
Hope this helps.

Well, I have finally started the process, but got stymied by the Bootloader Unlock tool (Couldn't unlock. Please unlock 168 hours later.). Quite frustrating. I see that a lot of people have this problem and had to try again more than once, waiting a week between attempts.
Is there a workaround or do I just have to wait a week and hope for the best?
Also, assuming all goes well and I eventually manage to unlock the bootloader and flash the Indonesia ROM, do I use the same tool to re-lock the bootloader (in order to restore the security of the phone)?
And if I want to unlock again in the future, will I again possibly get the "wait and try again next week" message, or does that only happen the first time?
Thanks.

No workaround, you just have to wait (and yes I know how freaking frustrating it was for me...). You can even start meditation classes meanwhile it helps

It depends on what your the flavor of the phone you got. You may want to have a look at that other thread Relock bootloader after flashing ROM Indonesia where we actually covered this exact subject
The good thing about that 7 days wait period is you can gather all the intel you need to be 100% ready when the time come to seriously mess up with things.
So you know, once your bootloader is unlocked, first thing you will want to do BEFORE anything else, is blow off that security which needed Auth Account to unbrick account (ONLY WORKS FOR PIE, ANDROID 9 MIUI VERSION BEWARE).

The waiting time is for one time only (THANKS GOD!).
So if you relock, beside having to get your hands on the unlock tool once again and have added the same infos as for the first time in the phone, you will be able to unlock right away.
That's at least a good news
Hope this helps,

Yes of course.
It is a module you can find on the Telegram group called "Redmi Note 8 Pro | OFFICIAL".
Like me you will have to go in there even if you do not use Telegram.
Once there and you got the /notes it is called the default apps.
I cannot share it myself here because I am not the developer of that module, as you can understand that's against forums policies.
All I can tell you is it works correctly on EEA MIUI 11.0.2.0.
Good luck!
Hope this helps.

Hey,
Sorry was AFK for a while. In case you still need answer, going to reply just in case.
Well there is not much to add, you simply install the module from within Magisk once it installed, you reboot, and it works out of the box, you go in the settings and you set it as you like.
Good luck!

Do i need to root before installing it ?

Question From USA to Italy, which factory image to load?

Hello everyone
I have a question for you who are more experienced. I'm missing from the Android ecosystem from the glorious Pixel 3 from Samsung, about 11 years ago. I loved the Pixel3 user interface, so polisched and modern for the times. Now I have finally decided to do the swith from my iPhone xs to Pixel 6 pro.
I bought the phone in USA, directly from google, but I live in Italy.
Do you advise me to flash the P6P with a different factory image?
I understand that the code name for P6P is raven, but it's not clear to me which factory image I should upload. Can you give me the right suggestion?
Thanks in advance for the support.
Regards,
Giuseppe

I do not have the phone right now in my hands, and most probably this will not happen for the next 10 days. Maybe is's worth waiting for the Jan update?

You're welcome! It's at least 50/50 chance that it would be better to wait. I have no problem on the .017 December firmware, but plenty of folks do, and I haven't had much of a problem at all with any of the firmwares so far.

What I do not understand is why there are those who force the installation of a release that has been intentionally removed from distribution. If google did there will be a reason, I think. But perhaps the benefits are greater than the disadvantages.

Because it fixes some things for some people.

So January update is finally here and, if I well understood is a Global (unified) version.
I have downloaded raven sq1d.220105.007 Factory.
And sorry for the stupid question, which is the best way to install it on a brand new, out of the box P6P?
I have to start the phone first and do the first configuration or I can immediately flash the factory image and start from a fresh new install? How?

You'll have to allow the phone to boot up first since you'll need access to the OS to perform some commands on your PC. You can just allow the phone to boot and skip a lot of the setup process, only because flashing the most recent factory image will put you back to stock, AKA wipe your phone back to where it was when it left the factory, and then once the new image has been installed you can do a proper phone setup from scratch.
If you're not familiar with using terminal commands and don't want to run the risk of messing up your phone, I suggest you use the Android Flash Tool since it'll do everything for you and is fairly simple. Just connect your device over USB and visit the Android Flash Tool using the link below. Android Flash Tool works with any Web browser that supports WebUSB, such as Chrome or Edge. The Android Flash Tool guides you step-by-step through the process of flashing your device - there's no need to have tools installed, but you will need to unlock your device and enable USB Debugging from Developer Options.
I've provided a link on how to enable USB Debugging and Developer Options, here - https://source.android.com/setup/contribute/flash
To flash the latest January Stock image on your device, simply visit this link - https://flash.android.com/build/8030436?target=raven-user&signed
Click through those links and see if it all makes sense; and if not, report back. Either I (or someone else) will be happy to help.

I would like to thank you. You were really very helpful.
I have a doubt: what's the difference between loading a Factory image with ADB and using the Android Flash tool?

They do the same thing, however the android flash tool is much easier to use.

What I do not understand is why there are those who force the installation of a release that has been intentionally removed from distribution. If google did there will be a reason, I think. But perhaps the benefits are greater than the disadvantages.

I forced it on day one and I guess I was one of the lucky ones that didn't have any issues.

You're welcome! I'm assuming all went well and you're on the latest release?
The flash tool is automated and much simpler. it's a better way to make sure you're fully stock if you were planning on selling the device or trading it in.
Think of ADB as a more advanced way of interacting with your phone when you plan on modifying it from stock. The flash tool only allows you to flash official Google images, unless a developer has implemented the same tool with a custom ROM they've developed that you plan on using.
I'm sure there's other things I'm missing that folks will chime in with.

No my phone should arrive in about 10 days if everything goes as planned.
It is not easy to take a P6P 256gb white from italy , this model, in fact, is not sold in europe for what I know.
While waiting I try to keep myself informed. It's been a long time since my Galaxy Nexus.

Question Reinstalling from "https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/"

Hi all. I would like to reinstall the firmware on my P6Pro, and though it's a UK unlocked, unbranded Vodafone model can I reinstall it with the EE firmware as it's the SIM I've used from day one?
My phone firmware is :
SQ1D. 220105.007

As far as I know, SQ1D.220105.007 is the only latest (January) firmware available for the Pixel 6 Pro. Correct me if I'm wrong, though. It's the only one listed at that official Google Pixel firmware webpage.

The above is correct, as is often the case they have consolidated all of it into one image in January.

Thanks people.
I have the Jan update.
Do you know why they even list selecting a carrier first?

Probably just a generic prompt for those devices or months that there are separate firmwares for different carriers.

Can't seem to get this feature to work.
When I go to "rescue" mode and connect phone, the repair doesn't seem to connect to phone and remains on loader page with phone showing "No Command"with the android bot on his back with a triangle above his open chest.
Retried it with different UK carriers and unlocked carrier.
Any thoughts?

You could try Official Google Android Flash Tool instead and see if that helps any better. I know Official Google Pixel Update and Software Repair is official, too - I'm not even clear on when the repair site will help that the flash site won't, since I've never used either. Lots of folks on here have used Official Google Android Flash Tool with great success, though. Let us know what happens.

Pixel repair tool hasn't been updated to support the 6/Pro yet - the only part of that website that works for either phone is the Fingerprint Calibration tool.
As above, install Google adb/fastboot drivers & then try to use the Android Flash Tool, that should work for you

this is the right answer. Also, for every other Pixel that supports this Pixel Repair website (Pixel 3+), it's actually really hit or miss if the phone ever gets recognized at all.
Considering how amazing the Android Flash Tool works - unfortunately it looks like pixelrepair isn't getting the attention it deserves - probably for reasons that we aren't aware of - but development time is probably one of them.

Hi guys, just to let you know, eventually managed to do a flash with the 'Flash.andriod.com' tool. 5 mins and all easily done.
Thanks for all the help though.

How To Guide LE2127 OnePlus 9 Pro Custom ROM (T-Mobile)

I am seeing a lot of folks who are still (year later) unable to enjoy custom ROM with T-Mobile devices, so I wanted to quickly post this easy method for enjoying your device with FULL DATA. If you are using a T-Mobile branded OnePlus 9 Pro and have accepted all normal OTA updates as of 9/8/22, you should be on C.19 firmware.
Assuming you have already unlocked your bootloader, you can safely upgrade to EU C.62 firmware found at:
OP9PRO_Android12_C62_EU_Firmware
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.

I completed this process while already on Nameless but it should work for others too. No more dodgy modules, hacked MSMDownloadTools or sorta working phones. Note, firmware and local updates are NOT the same. You are not cross-flashing to an entirely new software but ONLY required firmware modules for latest custom ROMs. Hope this helps!
P.S. if you receive any error while sideloading your new firmware, DO NOT unplug or reboot your phone. Repeat the process until it's completed successfully.

So you are saying no need to msm to EU first? I am on C.19, is this supposed to be flashed in fastboot? No modem issues??

That's exactly what I am saying, fastboot flash the firmware only and say goodbye to data issues.

My system update is showing c.17 as the latest update. I can't seem to get c.19. Would switching to eu firmware delete user data too?

No user data removed.

Appreciate this post. Do you plan on keeping this updated as EU gets updates?

I will do my best!

Why does this work where the eu msm converter has problems with the modem? After you flash this firmware can you take future ota updates without modem issues as well?

The latest firmware from non-branded OnePlus 9 Pro is now available!
OP9PRO_Android12_C63_NA_Firmware

This finally brings those of us on T-Mobile, especially closer to the bleeding edge.

Is this file modified in any way? Why didn't the people in the conversion thread do this before? I just don't get it, help me understand how we are avoiding all those problems. Can you also share the fastboot commands you use to flash this firmware please? Thank you.

Of course, it's modified because OnePlus doesn't create firmware packages for our community. However, the files within the package are original dumps.
You can easily sideload this fix through your custom recovery using adb sideload OP9PRO_Android12_C63_NA_Firmware.zip for example.

Ok, one last question, are we able to take ota updates after doing the sideload? I know this is the latest firmware so there won't be any but in the future are we able to take ota?

Question:
1-what room is best for my LE2127 for daily use
2-Hasselblad camera exist a app
3-what TWRP are we using now
thanks in advance

Could someone please post steps to sideload Le2127 to EU / Global C.62EU / C.63NA No data loss ?

can I sideload this from t-mobile c.17? Also what recovery can I use? TWRP is for android 11

I use this for adb side loading..

Should I just select oneplus 8 pro as the device? The 9 pro technically isn't supported. I also can't get my computer to recognize my phone in recovery so sideloading is not working, all drivers installed and my pc recognizes my phone in any other state.

Do the other option and go from there.

The Tool All In One is a great tool with many uses. You can choose the OP8P and it will work for OP9P. My question is will this really work side loading C.62 or C.63 on Le2127 and not lose data. I still have yet to read a clear guide on doing this. Also there's a lot of us that still use the TMO 9 Pro but I don't see anyone responding to this thread sharing that it really works. It would be nice but I'm not even gonna try until I know for sure that it really does work !
