Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S (polaris)

[geckosit]

Hello everyone, I bought a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S specifically to install Nethunter Pro. Since the device is new, I followed all the instructions:

Install on EMMC (fastboot method): Boot your device into fastboot and run the following commands: unxz kali_phosh_sdm845_YYYYMMDD.img.xz fastboot flash userdata kali_phosh_sdm845_YYYYMMDD.img fastboot flash boot boot-{model}.img fastboot erase dtbo # if your device has AB partitions

The problem is that now the phone no longer boots in any way. I thank anyone who can help me.

I'm sending the terminal screenshot and a video of the phone's boot:

Hi @geckosit, Can you try mobian, check if it works or not.

[geckosit]

Thank you very much, @Shubhamvis98. I tried with Mobian but I still encountered issues. I'm attaching the photos and screenshots:

In the above screenshot, it's missing fw issue. It can be fixed using droid-juicer or you can repack the boot.img with firmwares and flash.

And if mobian is working then I don't think there should be any issue with Kali Phosh.

Thank you @Shubhamvis98 for the time you're giving me. Can you help me with these steps?

[Shubhamvis98]

You can go through droid-juicer config file. Then copy all the split files from android partitions and use pilsquasher to merge the split files into mbn.

Thank you, @Shubhamvis98 . I installed version 2024.3 20240822 and now it works, although with several issues. The most important ones are that the Wi-Fi doesn't work and the USB-C doesn't detect any peripherals (Memory, external Wi-Fi, and Ethernet). Can you help me?

[Shubhamvis98]

Check this: #48

Thank you, Can you help me?

你可以通过droid-juicer配置文件，然后从android分区复制所有的分割文件，并使用pilsquasher将分割文件合并到mbn中。

Hi @Shubhamvis98 , may I know how to create config.tmol for mix2s? My mix2s in TWRP, It said Kind : NotFound, "Unable to detect device"

I tried to backup the firmware from TWRP and able to extract it. However, I don't know how to repack into boot.img. Please help. Tks.

[Shubhamvis98]

@patpatng, use pilsquasher to merge the firmwares into mbn files and then place the mbn fw files into ramdisk. You can use AIK.

[patpatng]

@Shubhamvis98 Thank you for your reply. There are 40 *.mbn file after running pilsquasher, is it normal? Also, where is the location for replacing on ramdisk? ramdisk/lib/firmware or ramdisk/lib/firmware/qcom?

I tried to repack the boot image but the new image if I include all *.mbn will be 99M which is larger than the 64M original boot partition. Am I missing something? Tks.

[Shubhamvis98]

Do not include all mbn files, include only necessary ones. Check the dts or droid-juicer config file of your device. You'll get the name of required mbn files and the paths.

@Shubhamvis98 Thank you for your reply, I try to follow the adroid-juicer polaris template, find all the files by mounting the partition dump and put them under ramdisk directory and build a boot.img. Unfortunately, the bootup screen is black and can't see any console message.

My min2s is China 6GB ram version which doesn't have modem partition, is it the cause of black? How to get rid of it? Thanks!

[Shubhamvis98]

do you see the console logs at booting? the simplefb should work before GUI/Phosh.

[patpatng]

No, nothing, just blank
