Hi.
So I bought this new 4 GB MicroSD card wanting to use it to downgrade my phone via the Goldcard method and I put it into my phone thinking the OS is going to somehow reset to something factory default, but anyways I'm now stuck with it passworded, I wasn't going to use it for good because I have a 16 GB one for the phone and I'd like to use the 4 GB one for something else but now it's password locked by this HTC HD7S.
Is there a way out there that I can format it or get rid of the password lock?
My phone is still on carrier ROM, I haven't been able to use the Goldcard method to unlock it yet.
It won't even show up on my PC when I plug it in, but it will ask for the password if I put it into my Symbian S40 phone. Unfortunately FExplorer isn't available for S40 phones.
Thank you!

Well, you must be a rookie, none of them work, I've replied to most of them.
I tried Active Kill Disk, Ubuntu, HP Tools, everything, and I don't have an old Nokia or Android phone to do that for me.
SO please be helpful in providing a Windows or Linux based solution, otherwise leave me and my threads alone I don't need your useless posts, thank you very much.

I'm really sorry but I think the solution is an old Nokia phone.
Maybe one of your friends has one

and uhm... why are YOU calling me a rookie I think you're the one asking a question right?
I'm using the Paranoid Android Final 4.41 Version on my SGS+
When I start the build in encryption, which encrypts the data partition the GSM Modem isn't working after the encryption process came to success.
I reproduced this twice. The phone doesn't detect the SIM Card anymore.
I'd like to post this as a bug report in the right SGS+ AP Developer Thread, but I'm not allowed to do so, because I'm a new user.
Maybe someone reading this here can answer this?

Is your phone SIM-locked?

What does it say under Baseband version?
I9001xxkph
Did you try with a different SIM?
Unfortunately I don't have another card. But thanx for your help. I've given up. Instead I'll protect my phone with a roundhousekick!
What does this mean? It is definitely not locked to the phone. Bought separately.

It means that your device works only with one carrier.
To see if your device is locked try a SIM card from a different operator. If it doesn't work then your device is locked.
If you want to unlock it read this.
Thanks for your description. It is definitely not locked. The phone was bought with no Sim Card and the card was bought separately. Other carriers are working.
Any other opinions?

Did you remove the SIM card before encryption?
Also are you using a SIM PIN?
Tried both: left in and remove. I am using a Sim Pin
As usual when i get an android device i root it, use busybox for my scripts to help speed things up.
i noticed this on two p20 pro's
once i finish running my scripts and restarting im welcomed with a screen to insert a NCK code, my sim card is now non functional, no cell service.
if anyone has the time to look into it it'll be a great help
my scripts are found here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NwU6NAqqC1Xbj57FfEyRWO10gSSKsGzd?usp=sharing
has anyone gotten the NCK unlock page? is this the same as a PUK code?

I've seen your posts about this issue everywhere on xda. It seems like your phones motherboard has been completely wiped. As far as I understand (don't have a big knowledge) your device is completely out of any network. NCK codes normally was asked when your device is sim locked and you out a non accepted simcard. But because you've said somewhere else your IMEI numbers are also wiped. If I was you, I would try 2 things.
First: try an unlocking website to get unlock code for the device by using your main imei number from the device's box. It should work (theoretically).
Second: if the unlock code doesn't work, try to contact huawei and tell them, your device get ****ed up during software update. ( I did it many years ago with my Samsung galaxy, the phone switched off during update and had exactly the same problem)
If non if these works... Then you've learnt something new.

ive had two P20 pros do the same thing - a friend of mine has a mobile shop and he doesnt mind me tinkering with some phones (both have been RMA'd and replaced by huawei)
the issue is caused by some scripts i run, the phone only does it after the scripts have been run, but may be due to flashing magisk in TWRP (i did both pretty much at the same time)
im not sure which scripts exactly caused the issue, but ive linked them in my OP
these are the same scripts ive used on my galaxy s8 and Oneplus 5T with no problems whatsoever.
do you think you can have a look and try and see which could potentially cause it?
maybe do a TWRP backup of all partitions and put them somewhere external just incase you decide to run them.
also unlocking sites dont do anything.

Flashing magisk won't do this. I flashed magick several times since I got the device without any issue at all. It must be the scripts you ran.... I don't want to try it as I need a working device

Can you maybe have a look at the scripts?
Only thing I can think of that would cause the issue is the mounting scripts, has anyone successfully removed journaling from the ext4 partitions?
That is the one I want to work.
Helps speed things up
i have the same issue as you with imei being 000000000000 and asking for the nck code.
were you able to resolve this problem? thanks.

Yes
You can flash everything again via Funkyhuawei
Or enable journaling on all partitions
I believe removing journaling breaks things, I didn't look into it to find out which partition in particular caused this.

Да
Можно снова все прошить через Funkyhuawei
Или включить ведение журнала на всех разделах
Я считаю, что удаление журналов ломает вещи, я не изучал его, чтобы выяснить, какой именно раздел вызвал это.

Hey I recently received a ROG Phone 2 from an online seller that had already flashed the WW rom.
However the storage size of the phone has a capacity of 32gb. When it should be 128gb.
Would that be due to the rom being flashed incorrectly? Can this be fixed if i were to redo it?
I can't seem to find anyone else with this issue.
Thanks.

Where did you buy it from?
Also download these two apps CPU-Z and DroidInfo then confirm the internals of your device.
Maybe a mistake was made when partitioning before flashing the WW ROM.

I bought it from Kogan in Australia.
Both apps show that i have 18GB of total internal storage.
If it is the partition.. is that something i could fix?
Thanks for your help.

What of the RAM? Also, check the processor information and see if they all check out.
I would have advised you to get into recovery and see if you can work it out then flash new ROM.
But advisably, the safest bet is to reach out to the sellers and return it cos trying anything on it may be against the Ts & Cs.
fYou can enter the fastboot mode and run the command to recover. fastboot oem factory-reset! Then you can restore the correct storage, or you need to find the ww firmware, into the fastboot mode, the full brush can be! I hope I can help you!
Hey guys,
had the same prob with my phone, i talked to the reseller and they told me to do a factory reset, after doing it i've got the complete 128gb memory on the phone.
Greetings
Hello, I flashed my mi8 like I do every week.
This week I flashed the xiaomi.eu weekly rom, used it for 10hours, then my phone randomly restarted, and now it don't detect SIM cards and don't turn on WIFI, and the phone restart every X minutes.
I think the persist partition has gone. I can't find it on TWRP.
Any help?
Thank you

I sent my phone to checked by a professional, because it fell from the couch in the afternoon, and everything is working, no shorts.
Now I was almost 100% that the 19/12/2019 update ****ed my phone.
I already bought a realme x2 , because this is my 2nd xiaomi that die out of nowhere, the last one was a Mi4, random shutted down, and never went back to life.
Is your Mi8 chinese or globa versionl?
Mine is chinese
Same problem (global version). Did you fix It?

This issue has happened on many phones over the past 5 years, and it can definitely be resolved, it has nothing to do with unlocking anything, it's a encryption problem.
It is possible that when Mi-Cloud attempts to register your sim card, that some sort of security packet is downloaded to the phone for your protection. Ensure that you can sign into your mi_cloud account and locate your device, if using Miui. Also, be sure that you have international texts enabled, they text just once or twice so it doesn't cost more than a few cents.
With all of that being said a persist issue isn't the same thing as a sim card issue, and if you phone will not boot you are well past taking out your sim card. The easiest and fastest solution is to restore your persist partition from a TWRP backup, if you have one.

If you are meaning that your bootloader is locked then the only option ( if your phone is linked to your MiCloud account) Is to return to a stock rom using Miflash or by downloading a fast boot images rom and using the flash all.bat method. The link that I provided earlier has a fast boot images rom linked.
Clarify whether or not you can access fastboot. If you can in fact access fast boot, and you previously used custom ROMs the instructions for installing TWRP are on the official TWRP website. You simply use ADB to push it yo the recovery partition.

hey whats up man,I hope u still answers questions I really hope you do because I'm in a dire situation where is my xiaomi mi8 cant connect to my sim card .It all started this year after a use of this phone since 2019 january.After my trip overseas , I got my own national sim card in again after that it occurs the problem at first was not that consistent,sometimes it detects, sometimes its good,after a while I thought that the sim card is loose so I wedged the simcard with a bit of paper,about sometime it works and then it starts to overheat when it doesn't detect the sim card inside and starts to reboot on its own, if I remove my simcard,its all good I can use wifi without overheating,how can I actually solve this problem? i quite believe that mi account /micloud that is causing all of this? whats your opinion on this? Im not an expert at all.Thanks for your time of reading this
