Would be better for him to flash the Baidu link with sp flash
Okay thank you for the backup successful flash so I have now a working phone
question is how would I be able to combine it or just flash the partitions I need for the American bands I have copies of the firmware from the last version the rooted one with tweaks. I just don’t want to overwrite the wrong files and soft brick it again
You talking about 6.1.3?
EXTREMELY small chance it’s compatible with the new phone. Probably 0
Would have to be recreated from whatever @dfrydman provides
And forget about Verizon working in messages unless qin fixed something, I just can’t do it again.
Someone else do it please lol
I think he was talking about just flashing Us bands stam
Might be wrong
Oh. Fastboot.
I can flash the US bands using Fastboot? That I have never done before have only used SP flash tools and some other software that I have whatever is the simplest way for the US bands I’d like to try
Fastboot is way simpler (and less chance of messing something up)

Fastboot flash nvram nvram
Same for the rest besides preloader
Don’t flash preloader
Also at least in my experience fastbootD doesn’t work, need regular fastboot (bootloader it’s called I think? Anyone correct me?)
I would definitely try since I this is the first time where where can I find the files and instructions that I need to do this ?
There’s no really well done guide yet, keep meaning to make one
Use this one Guide to US LTE Bands on the Xiaomi Qin F21 Pro (Excerpt from XDA Forums)
And listen to TripleUs comment on it
Instead of going to the xda guide to unlock bootloader just unlock with mtk of bootloader
No problem I have a good script to unlock the bootloader I’ve been working with these phones for a long time and then answer to the above post for the Verizon to work with the MMS it might be easier just to alter the original APK file the Verizon one I’ve used it and it works under Verizon MMS voice messages and everything only since they discontinued it the app sometimes crashes I’m talking about the Verizon specific MMS app for texting thank you again
On a side note there’s no easy way to flash the USbands from a specific partition with with SP flash tools?
To unlock the bootloader you just have to run a simple command from fastboot or mtkclient
Not sure what you’re talking about with SP flash, just run the fastboot flash command for each partition
Please confirm what version this is:
to flash us bands you can also use sp flash tool - use the scatter in the drive link i provided earlier and when connecting to sp flash tool hold the OWL button not the back arrow. then us sn write tool to replace imei and wifi/bluetooth address - also use OWL button to connect to sn write tool
So. Signed?
i dont know what AVB flags are but the bootloader was definetly locked
i checking the rom you sent me
No. just the vbmeta does not care if it is signed…
no. It’s just like nobody was saying “a bootloader can’t be called locked while signatures don’t match”
dont suppose youd care to share how to lock a bootloader with unsinged images
