Know How: Streakflash in Windows 7 OS

ALL ABOUT STREAKFLASH
[Q] Do you know why you need to streakflash your DS?
[A] Its if you have a bricked DS. If you get a bricked DS you cant go to fastboot mode nor the recovery mode, but you still can go to safe mode (in many case).
[A] Its if you can go to fastboot mode and recovery mode, and sucessfully flash your desired recovery.img. And then you go to
recovery mode and choosing 2 for updating ROM, but after you done installing your ROM, your DS just freeze in a dark screen after dell logo while the light still there.
[A] Its if you have your DS always hung/hang on the Dell logo, and you already try everything that you can do and doesnt fix the problem. (ex: factory default on recovery mode, reflash on fastboot mode and reinstall ROM on recovery mode, & etc)
[A] Its if you have your DS always restart repeatedly, and you have try everything that you can do to fix it, but you cant.
[A] And the DS problem you have that you cant fix it even you have already do everythings.
IF YES THEN YOU ALL IN THE RIGHT PLACE
[Q] Why i said that
[A] Because i already have the same problem like you have on my DS (its the blank screen after choosing 2), and i already search in this forum and ask to google, and finally i have the solution for my problem, its streakflash and a samsung driver for the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. Not the driver that we got on the streakflash.zip.
As you know there is 3 hotkey for us to tweak the DS:
[1] The power button + Camera button -> Fastboot Mode
[2] The power button + Vol. Up button + Vol. Down button-> Recovery Mode
[3] Plug in the USB cable to PC while holding the Vol. Up button -> Safe Mode
HOW TO DO THE RIGHT STREAKFLASH
[1] You need to download the driver to connect your device to your PC, because the PC doesnt have the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. And even you have the streakflash.zip the driver that contain in the zip its not right. You need to download the samsung driver for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM here.
[2] After you have download the driver extract them in C:\ and it will create Samsung folder. Now restart your PC then press F8 before the Windows boot screen appear, on advanced boot option choose Disable Driver Signature Enforcement. Now turn off your DS, and plug out the battery, wait for 10 seconds, then plug it in, close the back cover, then hold Vol. Up button, then connect the USB cable to your PC while still holding the Vol. Up button, then there is a sound on your PC that there is a new hardware connected, then release the Vol. Up button.
[3] After your Windows detect a new hardware, then choose "Browse my computer for driver software" and browse to your samsung driver directory and click next then install the driver, then it will say failed, then finish. Now repeat again the process: choose "Browse my computer for driver software" then choose "Let me pick from a list of device driver on my computer", then unchecked "Show compatible hardware", then choose "Qualcomm Incorporated" Manufacturer and "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9002" Models. Then press next, yes, and close.
[4] After the installation of the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM complete, now you need the streakflash, you can download in here. Download the streakflash and extract to C:\streakflash.
[5] Completed the extraction, now you can go to C:\streakflash then double click the QDLTool.exe, after QDLTool launch make sure that your DS connected, if not press scan. If yes you click RUN, then it will go to processing the necessary data to restore your DS. When its done, the DS will restart it self, and you must hold camera button in the Dell logo so you can enter fastboot mode.
[6] After you completely inside the fastboot mode (the background is white), you enter the fastboot mode by touching the screen that write FASTBOOT MODE, then the writing will change to Wait for USB FastBoot detect (on the bottom). Now what you need its to install the Dell Driver, you can download in here. After finish the download, install the driver.
[7] So you now have the USB driver installed for fastboot mode, and now you need the DSC flash and ROM by _n0p_, first you need to download the DSC_flashme2 here, then you need to download the CUSTOM ROM here and here.
[8] After you download all the data required, first extract the DSC_flashme2 to C:\dsc_flashme2. Then copy all the ROM you download to your Exernal Micro SD root (DSCv1.0.zip & updDSCv1.7.zip). If all done you can plug your USB cable to your PC now, the DS status will change from Wait for USB FastBoot detect to FASTBOOT_MODE. Then you go to C:\dsc_flashme2 and run the flash.cmd, the CMD will come and the process begin. If done your DS will restart, then you must prepare to hold the Vol. Up and Down when the Dell logo appear.
[9] And you done go inside recovery mode, now you choose update on option 2 and push the camera button, then choose yes and push camera button, then you choose the DSCv1.0.zip to install. After installation done then choose advance option then clear dalvic cache, after done press back then choose wipe partition, after done choose advance again and choose fix permision after done press back and choose reboot.
[10] After reboot you need to go to recovery mode again and choose factory default, if done the DS will restart and you need to come to recovery again to update to the latest DSC ROM by choosing this file: updDSCv1.7.zip. the instruction after installation its the same like point 9.
[11] After fix permission done and reboot, you need to factory default again, then restart, then you have your DS back on track.
_n0p_ DSC v1.7
[Q] Why using this ROM?
[A] Because its based on the newest official ROM from Dell, the Olleh 407.
[A] Because its more bugs free then Olleh 407 stock ROM, thanks to _n0p_
Feel free for asking, iam glad to help. And sorry for amass writing :highfive:

[Guide] Revive Redmi Note 4X (codename mido) after Hard Brick

1. What is a "hard bricked" phone?
Hard brick is the state of android device that occurs when your device is unbootable without a bootloop. A hard Brick device generally show little to no signs of life (you wont be able to switch it on and the screen doesnt turn on).
A phone gets hard-bricked due to trying install ROM not made for the device or use ROM Manager incorrectly.​
2. Procedure
Step 1: Download all the necessary files below:
download link: en(dot)miui(dot)com/a-234.html
MIUI ROM Flashing Tool(*.exe file)
MIUI Fastboot ROM package for your device(*.tgz file) - Any variant Global / Chinese should work
Step 2: Extract MIUI Fastboot ROM package using 7zip or any other software you prefer
Correctly extracted folder should look like: (Image folder), flash_all.bat e.t.c.
After extracting rename parent folder to something short such as "mido". Avoid parent folder of ROM package extracts being too long
​Step 3: Install MIUI ROM Flashing Tool
If you get "driver not signed pop up during installation click "install anyway option or similar"
To test if everything installed correctly, connect your phone to your computer and open flash tool then hit refresh button, you should see an index and com port which indicates your phone is being detected.
If phone not detected restart computer with phone still connected and navigate to device manager->ports (you should see something like Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008.) if its not there re install MIUI ROM Flashing tool
Note that if you try to flash your extracted package at this point the installer will fail to communicate with the phone, step 4 is very necessary to ensure flashing can commence​Step 4: Remove back cover and disconnect phone battery
Disconnect your phone from your PC and find a nice dissasembly video on youtube to help you remove the back case of your phone. The battery is connected to the phone via one black flex cable on the right of the battery, simply detach this to disconnect battery.​
Step 5. Flash your phone.
With your phone still opened, and battery still disconnected.
1. Open Flashing tool and connect your phone to your computer
2. Hit refresh to let your computer detect your phone.
3. Hit select/browse button and select parent folder from step 2. which has your rom
4. Select clean all option at the bottom of flash tool window
4. Hit flash.
5. Once flash is complete your phone will remain off disconnect from computer and reconnect the battery then switch your phone on.​
3. Done
At this point your phone should be back to life. Close your phone's cover and then youre done.​This guide helped me revive my Redmi note 4X snapdragon 625 3GB - please share youre experience if it doesnt work for you

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah, I'm getting that. And then "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" But then I just tried a few more times, maybe unplugged the cable and plugged it in again, and it worked.

not working
not working on my RN4X. while using MiFlash 2015 it is stuck on "Send nop command" and while using the 2016 version of MiFlash it is either "cannot receive hello packet" or cannot "ping". the latest version of MiFlash cannot be installed because of some cabinet file is missing. I'm stuck with this for a whole day now. is there anything that I'm missing??

[GUIDE] Recover Moto Maxx from HARD BRICK

WHAT IS HARD-BRICK?​
The Hard-Brick, translated means device NULL, without function neither one! This happens a lot for forced updating: AS ANDROID 4.4.4 FOR 5xx ....
Most of the time, the cell phone stays in BOOTLOOP (infinite loop), another case as hard brick gets on the black screen with LED access.
Then you ask me?
Wagner, I Brickei my device, how to recover?
YES! There is always a way to recover. More remembering that each device has a way of doing, some are easier and others more complicated. We just need to find the right files.
So let's go!​
MOTOROLA DRIVER
Drivers required for device recognition on PC.
If you have already installed, you do not have to install again.
Download
HAND-BRICK.exe
It will install the drives, recover the cell phone and recover the fastboot.
Download
STEP BY STEP​
1- Turn off the phone and enter the fastboot mode:
Yes, I know the phone is off!
Plus the device is in operation and we need the phone to be turned off and enter the Fastboot mode.
HOW DO I DO THAT? I discovered two ways!
- Fast and easy mode:
OPEN THE PHONE AND DISCONNES THE BATTERY, IT WILL PLACE THE FATBOOT MODE.
IF YOU MAKE ERRORS IN COMMANDS, YOU CAN GET THE FASTEST ANSWER.
- Time-consuming and need patience:
PLUG THE PHONE TO CHARGE "INTO THE SOCKET", THE LED GOES ON, WAITES THE LED OFF.
If the LED does not turn on?
SAFETY THE POWER BUTTON ON + THE DOWN VOLUME, FOR 2 SECONDS OR ACCOUNT UP TO 30!
THEN PLACE INTO THE OUTLET, AND OBSERVE THAT THE LED WILL TURN ON! And wait until the LED turns OFF.
Why did I say I had to be patient?
Well, you're going to do this straight, each made the commands go wrong.
And it will only work again if the phone restarts. Many times the LEDs do not light up among other things like not recognizing on the PC.
HOW DO I KNOW THAT IT WORKS?
When using the unbrick, it will show you a path:
EXP:
C: / USERS / NAME / DESKTOP / MOTO MAXX / PORTUGUESE [BR] / 2 - REVIVER FB / UNBRICK - 5.1> .QBOOT BLANK - FLASH
AND THEN HE SHOWS THE RECOGNIZED FILES.
When of FAILED?
(BLANK-FLASH: **********):
THE FILES WILL BE DEMANDED TO BE RECOGNIZED, THEN IN THIS CASE THE COMMANDS WILL NOT WORK! AND AI FOLLOW THE STEPS AGAIN THE LED!
OK! now that the phone is off and ready to use the unbrick.
Remember, every time you use the unbrick and appear errors, you will have to repeat the STEP to turn on the LED!
2 - Connect the device to the PC, and check that the device is being recognized as QUSB-BULK.
Search the device manager for your PC.
And look in the part (Ports (COM and LPT)) and see if you recognize the device!
3- Install the MOTOROLA + Qualcomm USB drives.
In the Device Manager will shows that the device is being recognized as QUALCOMM.
4- Choose the Unbrick option and execute the files "GO" and wait ends up to 100%
NOTE THAT: THE PHONE WILL BECOME LIFE, AND SHOW THE BOOTLOADER WITHOUT ANDROID!
If it looks like FAIL - You have to repeat STEP 1 to turn on the LED, done that, Test other files
Contains GPT.BIN files from Android 4.4.4 to the latest version 6.0.1!
CASE NOTHING WORKS USE THIS FILE "download"
1 - REMOVE THE ARCHIVE
2- EXECUTE THE FILE WITH THE NAME "GO.bat"
3- NOTHING EVEN? ENTER WITHIN THE "DATE" FOLDER AND EXECUTE THE "01 GO.bat"
4 - NOTHING EVEN? EXECUTE THE FILE "02 GO.cmd"
ONE OF THOSE FILES MUST WORK, BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY THIS FILE!
Now go to the Fastboot option and execute the files "GO"
Contains GPT.BIN files from Android 4.4.4 to the latest version 6.0.1!
THE NEW VERSION IS MARKED WITH RED!
6. Ready! the cell phone will restart with Android 5.0.2, but this one with ERROR does not connect in the WIFI!
To correct this error, turn off the phone
Enter Fastboot mode
Choose a ROM STOCK "here" and install.
If you want a customized ROM First:
Download the new version of TWRP "here"
Choose a CUSTOM ROM "here"
And the GApps according to Android Chosen "here"
READY! YOU CAN BE HAPPY AND INSTALL ANY ROM THAT YOU WANT.
REMEMBER THAT THE ROM Stock 4.4.4 CAN NOT BE UPDATED OVER.
Hope this helps!

[CLOSED][Guide] Oneplus 8 IN2017 Bootloader Unlock

Disclaimer
While I will assist with any issues resulting from this guide, I disclaim all responsibility and cannot be held accountable for any consequences caused by the use or misuse of this tool or process. This method also will wipe your phone, so please back up your data. I also will disclaim any understanding as to why exactly this works, since this method was developed by someone else, I am just listing the instructions on how to use it. With that being said, understand your personal limits and read this entire guide before starting.
Thanks to the attributed users at the end of this post, to find this method we are waiting for years...
METHOD 1:
Part 1: Requirements:
To follow this guide you will need
A Windows PC
Latest MsmDownloadTool for Oneplus IN2017 - Link
Latest version of platform-tools - Link
The bootloader unlock.ops file - Link
Plug your phone into your PC using a USB 2.0 port (this is important, USB 3.0 has given me a lot of issues and just doesn’t seem to work all the time) and ensure USB debugging is enabled.
Extract the downloaded platform-tools zip and open the platform-tools folder in a command prompt, and Run adb devices and makes sure your device appears in the list.
Next, extract the instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001.zip and open up the MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe inside the instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001 folder.
When the application opens, select “Others” under the User type dropdown and hit next. Leave this window and the platform-tools command prompt open.
Part II: Entering Qualcomm EDL mode and installing correct QDLoader Driver
Part III: Flash Stock Firmware
In this section, we will flash the stock IN2017 Android 10 firmware.
Click the “Start” button in Msmtool. This will flash the stock firmware, wiping your data. Make sure you have backed your data up at this point. It will take a few minutes, usually ~300 seconds. Once it completes, it will reboot into factory default android 10.
Close MsmDownloadertool and once you are back to android, unplug your phone and power it off.
Part IV: Unlock the bootloader
In this section, we will flash the unlockable firmware and unlock the device for good.
1. Inside the directory with MsmDownloaderTool V4.0.exe, there should be a file called “instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001.ops”. Remove it from the directory, either by deleting it or moving it to another folder. Then take the unlock.ops file downloaded earlier, and drag it into the directory and rename it to instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001.ops . It should be in the same folder as MsmDownloaderTool.
2. Reopen MsmDownloaderTool V4.0.exe and like before, select “Others” in the drop down, and click next. Leave the window open.
3. Hold in the Volume up and down buttons, then plug your phone back in. Keep holding the buttons until your phone connects to your PC as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008", like before. Check device manager to ensure that it’s connected correctly as a COM port. If it boots to android, power it off and try again.
4. Return to MsmDownloaderTool. Make sure the phone is still displayed in the list under the associated COM Port.
5. Click start. The flashing should take about 15 seconds, and when complete, your phone should restart. It will display a message at boot saying “<!> The device is corrupt..” Do not panic, this is normal.
6. Unplug your phone and hold Volume Up, Volume Down and Power until the device reboots and let go once it shows the OnePlus Logo and “Fastboot Mode”. You should arrive at a screen that has “Start” in big green letters at the top, and “Fastboot mode” below it, with the very last item saying “Device state - Locked” in red text.
Plug your phone back into your computer.
7. Return to your command prompt window open in platform-tools, and run fastboot devices and ensure your device is in the list.
8. Finally, run the command "fastboot flashing unlock", it should prompt you to confirm unlocking the bootloader. Once complete, it should reboot into Android.
9. Shut the phone off again, and then Hold Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power and let go when the OnePlus logo and “Fastboot mode” shows up on screen. If the final item in the list says “Device State - Unlocked”, Congrats! You have successfully unlocked your bootloader. You can follow your custom OS’s installation guide from here.
If you want to flash back to stock firmware again (relock bootloader), you have to first flash this file (stock.ops) and then flash the bundled stock firmware. It will give a mismatch error if you do not.
