I cannot, for the life of me, get qfil to work properly. With every portable QFIL version i tried, i get: Download Fail: FireHose Fail: FHLoader Fail: FHLoader Fail: The system cannot find the specified file To fix this error it is advised to install the QPST Suite of programs and use the QFIL from there With every QFIL Version from within the QPST installer i tried, i then get: Download Fail: FireHose Fail: FHLoader Fail: Process Fail Im desparate, cant find anymore info round the net how to fix this. Do you have any further idea, which type/version of QFIL are you using ?
also watched some youtube videos
Thanks in advance |

Is your dap in EDL mode and visible in QFIL
Sometimes you have to manually restart into EDL even if tour already in EDL mode.
QFIL and Fastboot also prefer USB 2.0 ports even if it's a USB 2.0 hub plugged in a USB 3.0 or USB-C port
Your Windows 7/8/10/11 will probably need to be configured to allow unsigned drivers for the fastboot drivers.
I can zip all my qualcomm install and share later this week if your still struggling.

Thanks >again< for your kind support! I finally got it to work from a (nearly fresh installed) Windows 10 VM inside my (otherwise) perfectly working Windows 10 machine. I really tried ´everything´ before this and nothing worked. Been working in IT for ~30 yrs and nonetheless was really starting to get desperate  Normally it is quite a bad idea to do this kinda stuff from a vm. Im surely NOT gonna WRITE to the device connected like that I have seen some of the very f****** fiddly manufacturer tools of mobile socs (specifically amlogic comes to mind), i would have thought qualcomm would be different. Alot of ppl. seem to have problems with the tools. I thought about creating a custom twrp for ease of use. Never did this, read some guides, seems doable but i dunno if i will find the time. And atm i also dont know if i have the cojones to then restore such a twrp/nand backup to the device ... btw. did you create/disassemble the .elf yourself or did you try some of the big bunch of sdm660 ones tldr, on to doing some magisk to the boot.img best regards |

If you take settings from the vendor build.prop and add them to the system build.prop you can enable and disable MSEB etc and add lowshelf boost amongst other hiby specific stuff. I've not found where the recovery partition is on the Hiby or iBasso. It's a separate partition on the FIiO. I tried an automated tool for creating TWRP from stock recovery for qualcomm/Android 10 and flashed it back but it failed. No harm done just flashed stock one back. |

Nice tips! If i manage to actually produce something useful i will ofcoz share.
Would you like to share your .prop and kernel changes? I lost track of the possibilities a looong time ago.
Also for my small brain it was way too much to learn about everything concerning this stuff.
More battery life is definately needed. Im mostly using balanced headphones, seldomly using iems.
I kinda stopped fiddling around with android some years ago. Using Oneplus phones there was less and less things i wanted/needed to mod. All i do nowadays is root->adaway and using a backup app, thats it.
I do remember though, when there is no seperate recovery partition it should be embedded in the boot.img
Theres a (some) bootloader(s) in the chain before the kernel boots. This reads some flag if normal boot or recovery is wanted/needed. I found a really nice website showing the whole boot chain, but i cant find it atm.
Best regards

hmmm, i cannot ´fastboot boot´ (to first test the image) or ´fastboot flash´ the boot.img
fastboot boot magisk_patched-23000_boot_b.img
Sending 'boot.img' (54181 KB) OKAY [ 0.144s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Did you try it that way or did you bravely flash directly via QFIL ?

If it fails in QFIL it doesn't get as far as trying to write anything so no problems. I can't remember which had the problems writing I was just happy to get reading covered on all these daps. Does 'fastboot devices' show the dap serial? Also is your adb/fastboot on the latest? For fastboot not working; 1. Your fastboot drivers may not be installed properly/allow unsigned drivers in Windows. You usually needs to manually point to the driver type rather than let Windows automangle itself. 2. Use a USB 2.0 port
3. Use a different cable

adb+fastboot work fine for me, used it alot. i tried different fastboot drivers. maybe yours would do the trick for me. i remember having some trouble ages ago with an nvidia shield tv regarding fastboot drivers. device showed up fine, but fastboot commands did not work at all. after looking up some stuff on the web, it seems that some devices just do not support or allow all fastboot commands. in case of the R6II "flash" and "boot" seem to be like that thats quite bad, especially fastboot boot boot_or_recovery.img is extremely useful for testing without flashing  if you find the time maybe try if fastboot boot works for you for now i successfully flashed the rooted boot.img via QFIL from my laptop |

I´m no expert in any way, but this is one of the laziest/worst kernel (lets call it) "tuning" i have ever seen. This is disappointing. No surprise battery life is mediocre. Really like the player and i now hope their hardware is of better quality than this. -Let´s just use the performance governor for all big and little cores and call it a day- Maybe im just missing something and this needs to be like that. I doubt it. Did not expect that, as i kinda like the Hiby music app and it runs really well for me. Also the R3Pro (Linux) i had before ran great for me. I own an SDM660 (also 4GB) tablet with a custom rom and great kernel tuning. Problem is, i can only try to replicate some of the settings as there is no cpu hotplug support baked into hibys kernel. Yes it makes no sense including it if you are using the performance governor. But at least they could have forgotten to remove it ;-) Having fun tinkering with gravitybox. Those were the days  I remember you talking about kernel and build.prop optimisations. Like to share them ? |

After trying all of the button combinations I can think of, I still can't figure out how to get my R6 2020 into EDL mode (no volume buttons). I'm pretty familiar with QFIL from LG V30 mods. Can someone have pity and help me out?
Edit: adb reboot edl
It would still be nice to know the key combination.
