doubleddav 34 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me, my phone is close to Bricked. I got the phone yesterday and thought I'd flash LineageOS onto it. This is basically what I did: I followed the instructions here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pro1/install I used this image: lineage-19.1-20221128-nightly-pro1-signed.zip I used this recovery: lineage-19.1-20221128-recovery-pro1.img I flashed these gapps: NikGapps-basic-arm64-12-20220908-signed.zip Rebooted the phone Now the phone just boots to the select screen, where you can choose recovery, fastboot, poweroff etc. Any option I select from here reboot the phone and comes back to this menu - except poweroff. I can't get into fastboot mode to reflash anything. I've tried the Factory Restore Tool. I can get into EDL mode by pressing the volume up, down and power buttons. My phone is detected by the software but when I click Flash it just says "Cannot open device" and does nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,421 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 If you just got the phone it seems you might be mixing Pro1 and Pro1X images.... There are no official Lineage image for the Pro1X (yet). Take a look here PS: When I last tried neither OpenGapps nor NikGapps worked for the Pro1 (no X) Lineage 19, the only working GAPPS-option seems to be the rather huge package MTG. See the official links here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doubleddav 34 Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 Thanks for your response, I didn't realise LineageOS was not official at the moment. I've got it working now. I found and followed the guide here, which was extremely helpful and worked perfectly: 2 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Milky_Pimms 10 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) O-dear.. I when thought the steps got to the last (Once you have installed everything successfully, click the back arrow in the top left of the screen, then “Reboot system now”.) Restarted with USB cable in phone. Now phone only start in fastboot mode (has the green start at top of screen. I pick any option and phone starts in the same mode can this be recoved? Many Thanks (M_P) Edited January 4, 2023 by Milky_Pimms Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,421 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Is it a Pro1X you tried to give Pro1 Lineage? Currently we have not got Lineage for the pro1X Start here for ROMs and restore options: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Milky_Pimms 10 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 G'day EskeRahn Yes Pro1X.. Ok, so too recover the 2 phone's Pro X1 that I suffed. Where to now do I use Factory Restore for FxTec Pro? found here https://files.nwwn.com/android/pro1/factory.html Any help is appreciated (M_P) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,421 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 They made an official guide here https://community.fxtec.com/topic/3643-pro1-x-flashing-stock-android-with-qfil-windows-pc-only/ It is a bit complex. There might be easier ways to do it, but unfortunately there isn't (currently ?) a simple version with a zip file (like the one you used for the Pro1 Lineage), I have asked for that, and hopefully we will get it at some point... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob. S. 1,643 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Contrary to that guide, I've also read that QPST/QFIL does not even work in a Windows VM under Linux (let alone under Wine, as there is no direct USB access under Wine). For QPST/QFIL, it would seem you really need a 'physical' Windows system. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Many Thanks (M_P) I made exactly the same mistake (you'll find my similar post somewhere a few weeks ago) But don't stress, the link EskeRahn gave you works, I followed the guide and got my phone working again. Just go through it carefully step by step. I can also confirm it does work in a Windows VM running on Linux, it does with Qemu/KVM anyway. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Milky_Pimms 10 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I tried a windows 7 VM Qemu/KVM no go for me. Trying windows 12 server to flash-back. How is UBport for the FX pro1x mobile data work? I read mobile data for the Pro1 does not work yet. (M_P) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doubleddav 34 Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 My VM was running Windows 11, not sure if that makes a difference or not. Did you see the phone in the list of devices to pass through to the VM? Maybe also make sure you've installed the guest tools in the VM as well. You can download them from here 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Milky_Pimms 10 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I don't know what I'm doing wrong QFIL won't talk to the phone but Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3) is there. The only step I have not follow is the decompression of the tar.gz tar Release_SM6115_S701_gms_V2.1.2_20220707-1501_user.tar.gz I use Release_SM6115_S701_V2.1.5_20220906-2009_user-001.rar and 7zip then the files needed show. I'm I missing tar on the windows VM? sorry if its a dum question powershell won't unzip the tar.gz for me. The screenshot of the file on the right is the one I need?

doubleddav 34 Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Just going through the guide again to refresh my memory. I can't remember if I hit any snags and worked around them without thinking and making a note of what I did. The screenshots you've provided look OK, I think the USB is being detected properly. You choose either Release_SM6115_S701_gms_V2.1.2_20220707-1501_user.tar.gz or Release_SM6115_S701_V2.1.5_20220906-2009_user-001.rar. The first I believe has google play services, the other doesn't You can extract either archive with 7zip. If you use the .tar.gz file you might need to extract it twice, from .tar.gz → .tar, then .tar → folder 🙂 Edited January 5, 2023 by doubleddav Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Milky_Pimms 10 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Hi doubledav does your VM boot in UEFI? I got the right file now, did it on the linux side then moved it over 🥴. Phone still not communicating to the VM well. I'll use UEFI and see how I go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Milky_Pimms 10 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Got there in the end.. I put the comms problem down as Windows version and or CPU architect using USB 3.0 port. Bear-metal with up to update win10 and Intel HQ7700 got me over the line. My ferdora rig is packing a Ryzen 7 3000. Let's see how I got with UBports.. Thank all for all your input (M_P) Edited January 9, 2023 by Milky_Pimms more info 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,421 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Awesome you got it working too. It would be great if someone would combine this in a step-by step guide, for future references for others (I will add a link to it in the main flash post) (It does not have to be super detailed, just with the steps that are not obvious) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Milky_Pimms 10 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 G'day @EskeRahn one thing to add after recovery fire flash, the phone now has 8G in storage when it had 256G before my brain fart. Is there a way to fix the partition? (M_P) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Milky_Pimms 10 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 @EskeRahn Thanks a heap. I add to this thread my process of re-flashing and problems that I in-counted (all) 🤯 I look forward to the future of this project. (M_P) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doubleddav 34 Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 Glad you got it working in the end. A shame I can't try to reproduce the issue, but I don't want to wipe my phone again to test 🤣 I'm eager to see how people go on Ubports and Droidian over time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
