Hi folks!
Sorry for the post (I know it has probably been asked before) but I could not find the answer by seaching so I have to ask again...
My friend has a Galaxy S with stock german T-Mobile software on (he does not know the version). He has forgotten his unlock pattern and the phone does not recognize his Gmail login! He has accepted the fact that his data is probably lost but when I boot the phone into bootloader and select a factory reset the handset is still locked when booting up again?
I have never encountered that problem before so I really hope you know the solution I am a WP7 man myself so my knowledge of Android is basic (know how it works but have never tried to flash new firmware etc.)
/Anders
Boot into dl mode and flash an unbranded stock fw using Odin. You'll find many tutos on how to do that.

factory reset will not work, you can use ADB , How to guide on My Android Collections link below, or flash a kernel or do the whole thing as Dark Knight suggested earlier
Hello. Couldn't find a post related to this. I'm not a lazy browser, been on XDA for many years through many phones. Just haven't had the need for a user account until now.
I see the 7.2.4.0.0 version is removed from MIUI websites and i can think of a few reasons already.
Does anyone else have this problem too? I have the 3GB version and normally start out with 1.7gb RAM after a boot. Gradually over the day (even after closing apps) it goes slowly down to 200mb and i have to do a reboot.
Or Does anyone have the 6.5.30 version and could tell if it uses up the RAM over time?
Sincerely
John

You have a fake rom. 7.2.4.0.0 is not an official MIUI rom and newer was. 7.2.4.0 is an official rom.
You should flash the official rom.

Thank you. I didn't notice the extra zero and didn't think it was unoffical.

You are on an un-official modefied version.
The fake version is 7.2.4.0.0 <- your version.
The real official and supported by Xiaomi version is 7.2.4.0
Hi,
Hope I can get some help. I recently just picked up a unit and am on 7.2.4.0.0. Realised it was a fake rom but I seem to have trouble flashing the global rom or the china stable rom. Believe my bootloader is locked at this point and have applied through the unlock miui website but that will take at least 10 days or more to get the SMS.
Frustratingly, I have seen some solutions on the miui forum and there was one proposed solution, of which many were finding success, that includes booting to recovery mode and then hitting shift + [flash] when connected to the Chinese miPCsuite. My update only goes by to mid 50% levels and then its stuck on for several hours! Is this a USBC to USB port incompatibility issue (if it was it wouldn't have recognized the phone right?) or is my phone just beyond saving ? At this point, im not confident in using other solutions as they look highly technical and some have highlighted that their phone has bricked in doing so.
Appreciate any advice! thanks. PLEASE HELP!

if you already tried the simple steps as stated then there are no more simpl steps left.
Do an EDL flash and make sure you clear all, and be aware that most Mi flash stuff works best on Windows 64Bit.

What he said, download the latest, both files can be obtained HERE
-MiFlash tool - step 1
-official fastboot rom - step 2
install the MiFlash tool
extract the downloaded rom (tgz) then extract the output file (tar) > make sure you copy the path of the directory where you see all the files like flash_all flash_all_lock etc..
reboot your phone into fastboot mode (you can access this by turning off your phone, hold vol - and power)
make sure you have adb on your pc
type this: the first line is optional to see if the phone is recognized.
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem edl
edit: I should mention, do not panic, the screen of the device will turn black but will still remain on.
launch the MiFlash tool
Click on Refresh, you will see a device right now in the list called COM (some number) >>>> it will be ticked
Paste the copied directory path into the white... uhh search bar thingy . or just click Browse and select the appropriate path.
Click Flash
edit: once done, simply unplug your phone and restart it by pressing the power button.
That should be all

Thanks for the reply! Before proceeding, I actually received the SMS to unlock the bootloader but im still at work so I cant go back and attempt the unlock. So just trying to manage my expectations here.
Is it safe to assume that all I need to do now is log in to the unlock tool by miui and unlock? because im still on 7.2.4.0.0 (the unofficial discontinued rom) and I have no way of flashing it to any other roms. My last attempt last night was again, stuck at 52% after a nights worth of wait! TT

Thanks for the help. I will attempt this as a last resort. I just received the SMS to unlock my bootloader. Hopefully its as simple as logging in and unlocking so I can get rid of this pesky 7.2.4.0.0 supposed "Global" rom.
i have successfully flashed to global rom!!! but now i have no audio coming from the speakers!!!! is it just my luck!!!??? and after reflashing again.. its completely dead.. its goes into the sign in to miui welcome page and just goes insane.. like to the point where i cant even select options and and random menu sounds keep coming up.. cant even turn off i had to reboot to fastboot.. is a goner? sighs..
7.2.4.0.0 to Resurrection Remix (CM13)
- unlock bootloader
- flash TWRP with fastboot
- install Resurrection Remix
- install GApps
- reboot, now it's say Google play stopped.
- go back to TWRP
- wipe data
- reboot and everything is working
Hi, first of all, sorry for my bad english.
I hope you understand
I've installed LineageOS 14.1 and all work's great
Then I've installed a new nightly and the camera led flash didn't work anymore.
Not as flashlight and also not as camera flash.
So I did a "factory reset" and installed the first LineageOS build.
The LED still doesn't work.
I wan't to test the Hardware if the LED is broken.
I used following code to open service menu but nothing happens. *#*#197328640#*#*
The entered code dissapear and that's it.
How can I test the Hardware? some tipps to reactivate the LED?
Thanks a lot
Noone?
I need some help, please.
How can I test the Flashlight to find out whats wrong. Is it a soft- or a hardware issue?

Factory reset is not enough. Recommended is clean install, wipe at least system, cache and dalvik, then flash previous ROM. If it still doesn't work, flash KDZ.

First of all, thank you.
With "factory reset" I mean I made the following:
Code:
1. Boot into TWRP
2. choose wipe
3. choose advanced wipe
4. select: Dalvik/ART Cache
System
Data
Internal Storage
Cache
5. swipe to wipe
6. flash previous ROM
So it doesn't work. How can I flash KDZ?
The same way like LIneageOS?

If installed D40520a_00.kdz
Flashlight still does't work. So it seems to be broken :crying:

Hey there. Your flashlight is not broken. Trying adding the widget to your lock screen. Or if you want to test type this in your dialer 3845#*405# and a hidden menu will appear from where you can test the features of your device. But if you reboot your phone they reset. I hope this helps you.

Hi there.
You're right.
I've flashed the new LineagoOS nightly and the Flaslight turns on for about 1 or 2 seconds and then turn out.
This happens every time i've tested it.
The code 3845#*405# doesn't work.
I see a message saying "USSD code running". That quickly disappears and then nothings happens.
It seems that I can't add the flashlight widget to lock screen.
any suggestions how I get the flashlight work?

Hey there the code won't work in custom roms. It is only for stock roms.It opens hidden menu. Custom ROMs take the advantage of your phone while it mat offer you a faster phone.Please revert back to stock ROM. Ik stock ROMs are slow.But it is much better to stay with stock ROMs with root and custom recovery and xposed.Check flash light once you flash stock recovery.
Hope this helps ?
First of all: Thanks a lot.

What means xposed? Some kind of app?
I've flashed D40520a_00.kdz ago but Flashlight also didn't work.
It "works" since I've flashed ne nightly...
If I flashed the stock rom all Preferences would be reset, right?
So why did flashlight not worked if I installed D40520a_00.kdz?

I've tested every menupoint and I found nothing.
With the stockrom I have no Torchlight symbol in quick settings (when you move from the top to the bottom where you can activate wlan, bluetooth etc.)
I add a torchlight widget to the homescreen. It turns on for about 2 seconds then turns off if I activate it.
The SOS-function works. Lollipop or KitKat stock. always the same result.
Is it possible to flash the complete smartphone.
It seems like there's a progamming block or some kind of settings that's wrong and that won't reseted with stockrom flash.
Download flashlight from playstore and test
it is always the same with every app.
The LED works for about 1 second than turns off.
Flickering works at all.
Try contacting lg service centre for a possible fix.Try flashing a bootstack or a custom kernel.I know they are not related to flash light but still trying is not bad at all.

Hi there,
My Redmi Note 10 Pro had random problems receiving SMS that I didn't know how to fix.
(reset to factory settings... change sim card...)
I tried to install another ROM than the original one.
(this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/android-11-or-12-roms.4459219/#post-87044197 )
I also updated TWRP (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/orangefox-twrp-cant-mount-system-and-data.4465099/#post-87114951)
Since then, my phone restarts in a loop on the TWRP logo, without going any further and without being able to turn it off, until the battery is empty.
Which solution ?
Thanks !

There are 3 models:Chopin,Sweet,Sweetin
have you installed the correct Twrp and rom
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
Enter fastboot mode: press button power and volume -
and flash stock rom(dont relock the bootloader).
It's a "sweet" model.
I used the above links to install :
"TWRP-3.6.2_12.1-sweet-20220705.img"
and
"lineage-19.1-20220619-UNOFFICIAL-sweet"
I'll try Flashtool as soon as I have some free time.
For the moment, I took back my old Note 8 !
;-)
Thank you very much for the reply.

After installing TWRP, I think you didn't formated data with yes. But it's necessary and restart after this to TWRP again. Then you can flash lineage, but take the newest for sweet from 7.7.22.
I don't remember...
But, in the future, I will be careful !
Thanks, guys !
You saved me !
My phone came back to life.
I'll see later if the SMS works again.
