<s_mflt[m]> unlock bootloader?
<s_mflt[m]> iirc you can instantly unlock by flashing some modified aboot file but idk
<s_mflt[m]> last time i tried it on rolex i had to hop on windows
<jimkoutso2008[m]> Hm ok
<jimkoutso2008[m]> <s_mflt[m]> "last time i tried it on rolex..." <- I main windows so that's not a problem
<jimkoutso2008[m]> Oh well time to hunt for that aboot files then

jojo_autoboy[m] has joined #msm8937-mainline
<jojo_autoboy[m]> <s_mflt[m]> "iirc you can instantly unlock by..." <- you can do that on land
<jojo_autoboy[m]> i still wonder how it was modified or where it was probably leaked from
<jojo_autoboy[m]> i guess there's a decent chance for this to also exist for other x7 xiaomi's
<jimkoutso2008[m]> Still haven't found anything yet
<barni2000[m]> <jimkoutso2008[m]> "Still haven't found anything yet" <- https://github.com/Giovix92/EDLUnlock/tree/master
<barni2000[m]> same process would work
<barni2000[m]> 1. `r devinfo` 2. edit 3. `w devinfo`
<jojo_autoboy[m]> huh
<jimkoutso2008[m]> lol if its just one byte i be damned
<jimkoutso2008[m]> nope
<jimkoutso2008[m]> changed that byte
<jimkoutso2008[m]> still wont boot
<jimkoutso2008[m]> then flashed TWRP
<barni2000[m]> <jimkoutso2008[m]> "lol if its just one byte i be..." <- 2
<barni2000[m]> fastboot oem device-info will help to check
<barni2000[m]> did you modified both under 41 and 42?
<jimkoutso2008[m]> ok i i did not notice under 42
<jimkoutso2008[m]> huh
<jimkoutso2008[m]> under 21
<jimkoutso2008[m]> its 1
<jimkoutso2008[m]> * its 01
<jimkoutso2008[m]> also nope
<jimkoutso2008[m]> putting 01 under 42 didnt work
<jimkoutso2008[m]> even removing the 01 thats under 21 didnt work
<jimkoutso2008[m]> i see some stuff here
<jimkoutso2008[m]> ok i think linux is acting up?
<jimkoutso2008[m]> i didnt write shit
<barni2000[m]> ```
<jimkoutso2008[m]> s/i/it/
<barni2000[m]> * 41 ...... 42
<barni2000[m]> 01 ...... 01
<barni2000[m]> maybe you should donwgrade to Android 7
<jimkoutso2008[m]> i am on android 7
<jimkoutso2008[m]> i did downgrade
<barni2000[m]> then idk
<jimkoutso2008[m]> starting think its just not writting anything at all in reality
<jimkoutso2008[m]> * its not actually flashing the
<barni2000[m]> i think your bl is patched
<barni2000[m]> so it has been fixed
<jimkoutso2008[m]> it was fully updated to 8.1 before
<jimkoutso2008[m]> maybe thats what fixed it?
<jimkoutso2008[m]> and dont have a sim to unlock this
<jimkoutso2008[m]> fuck
<jimkoutso2008[m]> oh great now
<jimkoutso2008[m]> the whole os doesnt boot
<Danct12[m]> <jimkoutso2008[m]> "and dont have a sim to unlock..." <- > <@jimkoutso2008:matrix.org> and dont have a sim to unlock this
<Danct12[m]> > fuck
<Danct12[m]> just put your sim card to the phone and use it for a week
<jimkoutso2008[m]> could take it as a challenge i guess
<jimkoutso2008[m]> since my main is miatoll lol
<Danct12[m]> jimkoutso2008[m]: as long you don't play games it's totally fine lol
<jimkoutso2008[m]> yea
<jimkoutso2008[m]> i can just
<jimkoutso2008[m]> carry both
<jimkoutso2008[m]> 🤷
<Danct12[m]> i mean what do you even do on your phone anyway
<Danct12[m]> watching cringe tiktok videos? i assume
<jimkoutso2008[m]> nah
<jimkoutso2008[m]> mostly youtube and discord
<jimkoutso2008[m]> i hate tiktok
<Danct12[m]> it'll struggle with some apps but that's mainly because they're designed badly
<jimkoutso2008[m]> hm
<jimkoutso2008[m]> i put my sim
<jimkoutso2008[m]> no signal i see
<Danct12[m]> check your mobile network settings
<Danct12[m]> additionally if your country doesn't support the LTE bands the redmi 4x uses then.. rip
<jimkoutso2008[m]> its a 5a
<Danct12[m]> or 3s whatever you're using
<jimkoutso2008[m]> 5a
<jimkoutso2008[m]> its a shame the only of the 2 msm8917 devices i have have the shittiest unlocking method
<jimkoutso2008[m]> (other device being my galaxy J6+)
<jimkoutso2008[m]> * i have that have, * have roms and stuff has the shittiest
<Danct12[m]> protected by knock knock who's there not my laughter
<Danct12[m]> i have a dead a5 2015, wondering what i should do with it
<Danct12[m]> dont want to replace screen because it turns out you can get the phone (used) for cheaper than buying the screen itself
<jimkoutso2008[m]> i had tried pmos on the j6+ but would get stuck at the bootscreen
<jimkoutso2008[m]> tbh i kinda hoped this was a more interesting ximi device
<jimkoutso2008[m]> like idk
<jimkoutso2008[m]> Mi 4
<barni2000[m]> <Danct12[m]> "i have a dead a5 2015, wondering..." <- i have bought a display for my a5
<Danct12[m]> congrats on getting ripped off 👏
<barni2000[m]> it was missing :D
<Danct12[m]> for me the screen costs more than the phone
<barni2000[m]> i have searched for a5 for long time and bought one without display
<barni2000[m]> but i will avoid samsungs next time
<Danct12[m]> and also there's a phone called j2 prime and it costs absolute nothing
<Danct12[m]> right now
<jimkoutso2008[m]> when did xiaomi started using this bs unlocking method?
<Danct12[m]> jimkoutso2008[m]: since long ago
<barni2000[m]> jimkoutso2008[m]: after land and kenzo
<Danct12[m]> i remember back then you had to ask xiaomi for a bootloader unlock account
<Danct12[m]> telling them what is your reason
<Danct12[m]> lol
<Danct12[m]> mine got approved very quick
<barni2000[m]> you can unlock 1 device in a month and 4 in a year
<jimkoutso2008[m]> Danct12[m]: 💀
<Danct12[m]> the redmi note 7 might be the last xiaomi phone i own because i have plans for google pixel
<jimkoutso2008[m]> same plans here
<barni2000[m]> google pixel has own SoC (what is an modified exynos afaik)
<jimkoutso2008[m]> tbf my redmi note 9 pro is the only xiaomi device i have daily drive'd
<barni2000[m]> i am also using redmi note 9 pro
<jimkoutso2008[m]> previously it was the j6+
<jimkoutso2008[m]> before that a shitty ZTE blade a452
<jimkoutso2008[m]> and before that a alcatel pixi 4
<jimkoutso2008[m]> barni2000[m]: nice
<Danct12[m]> in my lifetime i only owned two xiaomi devices
<Danct12[m]> 4x and note 7
<barni2000[m]> note 3 note 7 note 9 pro
<jimkoutso2008[m]> i have dual boot on it
<jimkoutso2008[m]> and windows 11 LTSC
<jimkoutso2008[m]> android 14
<Danct12[m]> i didn't pay for the note 7 though, it was sent to me by a ubports maintainer
<jimkoutso2008[m]> iirc you can do EDL on the redmi note 9 pro right?
<jimkoutso2008[m]> * you can now do EDL
<barni2000[m]> i have not tried
<jojo_autoboy[m]> yeah you can
<jimkoutso2008[m]> <jojo_autoboy[m]> "image.png" <- didnt expect that little amount of partitions
<jojo_autoboy[m]> oh it's cut off in the screeshot
<jojo_autoboy[m]> thing has like 68
<jojo_autoboy[m]> that's just lun 0
