It doesn't go in to recovery. Nothing in device manager while in fastboot mode

Okay, I'll see on my end in a week and a half when my QIN arrives.

interesting thread. i am not dev myself, but looking forward on this topic. maybe we can replace the AI with google assistant go.

What we really need is to remap the button. Since you can install Alexa and Cortana as just regular apks, theyzd probably be a good start to see if voice assistants other than the built-in one work.

Hello
Try this keyboard
{Mod edit}
How to enable: from the main menu we launch and immediately get to the input method settings dialog. Remove the check mark from the stock and put it on the QinPad.
Switch layout - grid, register - asterisk. There is no separate layout for digital input. Add. characters enter by enumerating zero and one.

Can this change the ai launch button to launch something else?

I figured out today that if you enter adb shell in recovery, you can actually run binaries. However, only in the /productinfo folder.

Also, nothing will run unless it gives root write access, not even read or execute is required. For some reason, the stock adb shell only checks to see if write is enabled.

For instance, if you use chmod 377 on a file, it will run, but chmod 477 will not

Hello all,
The installation method should be the same, code *#*#83781#*#* check "Debug", then switch on "USB Debuging" in Settings-About Phone.

I think unlocking the Boot Loader can become official through their site.

    Xiaomi QIN 1S Hacking Mega-Thread!




    jugVqtI.png


    I decided to go ahead and buy a Xiaomi QIN 1s feature phone. Unlike other feature phones, it runs a version of Android. Since there doesn't seem to be any threads here on XDA, I thought I'd start one.

    SPECS

    I finally found a guide/tool over on 4pda that will let you install apks. I have translated the tool to English and have it attached. The original post of the tool is here

    If you don't want to download the tool (which also helps with ADB) here are the steps to obtain root:

    -- Install the driver on your PC
    -- Dial: *#*#83781#*#* To Open the Engineering Menu
    -- Find the section "Debug & Log" and enable "Allow Debug"
    -- Open the Settings app
    -- Find "about phone"
    -- Click "Build number" multiple times until you see "You are now a Developer!"
    -- Go to "Developer options" and then turn on USB Debugging
    -- Connect your phone to your computer (MTP)
    -- Using ADB, push the apk to the device
    -- ???
    -- Profit

    You can use this method to install any applications, not just root the phone. Remember, however, we only have 256mb of RAM and a total of 512mb of storage. Definitely not for gaming and you will definitely want an SD Card. I can confirm QQ and WeChat work fine when installed.

    Let's get this rooted!


    Big shoutout to Frolkin who helped me get the original tool and gaguga for making the tool!

    Qinpad with Greek characters

    Just in case anyone needs it, I have used the source code from github to build an apk based on the 0.3 version for the application that supports Greek characters / Greek layout as well. Here is the file in the attachment. Also as a disclaimer, I do not consider myself a developer. I have no idea how to add this code back to github. Please contact me if you think you want the code to upload it or use it otherwise.

    Cheers!

    (bootloader) Display panel:

    =================================================

    This result on my phone.
    I have done it for a long time, I do not remember the sequence exactly. It can be done with the "MiFlashUnlock" program. Look for information on 4pda.ru, the page also has English.
