[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
When you flash a custom software on a device with a locked bootloader, the locked bootloader will not allow the device to boot that unauthorized software, some devices will only boot into flashing mode(download mode, fastboot, etc..)

Your only option is to download your full stock firmware for your model number and flash it via Odin. You need to flash a stock firmware that is the same as what you had or a newer version, the locked bootloader will not allow you to flash a stock firmware that is older than what you had.

Someone might be willing to do that for you, but you'd have to buy another one of those devices and donate it to a developer, they can't build/port anything for the device unless they physically have one of those devices in their hands.

I can't provide my assumption to you since I am not completely sure about it.

I can only recommend that you ask for some member guidance within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

I do know that, based upon some SamMobile forum threads, the Odin versions recommended for your device is v3.07 & v3.09.

I do think that the Galaxy Grand 2 SM-G7105 [3G/LTE] (aka ms01lte) is the Single SIM and the Galaxy Grand 2 SM-7102 (aka ms013g) is the Dual SIM variant.

I think that I have the ms01lte Pit file that's specific to your device and i can upload it to my file host account if you need it as well.

SamMobile has the Stock Firmware here...

I would just like to encourage you to try to search the following area of the forum that's specific to your device for any information as well as using the Q&A thread link above as well.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
In theory, you should be able to flash a firmware from another region, about the only issues you might have are: language differences, differences in radio bands supported in your region versus the bands supported by the other firmware or possibly bootloader differences between the two region(bootloader isn't very likely to be an issue though)
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Probably when you updated the rom some options were unchecked again, go to developer options and enable again USB debugging and OEM unlock

Now download MiPc Suite http://pcsuite.mi.com cause the drivers

Download adb installer, there are many versions but this have to work https://androidmtk.com/download-15-seconds-adb-installer

If you already have your unlock code then you have to use MiUnlock Tool http://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html

This only work with device in fastboot mode not in edl mode

Now with device power on and connected to pc go to adb folder and type adb devices to see if it´s recogniced, then type adb reboot bootloader if you enabled options in developer menu and the drivers were installed correctly then your device will reboot in fastboot mode and MiUnlock Tool will manage device to unlock it.

Edl mode is to performing other operations like to flash a software with a locked bootloader but this is other matter.

that didn't helped..any other idea?

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JxFXdK7ciR1Afune9ukRLgAofRzcuNhf

i did everything you told me although these things i already did in past every adb drivers installed. also i wish to send you a video as a proof what's going on. here is link(https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JxFXdK7ciR1Afune9ukRLgAofRzcuNhf) to my problem and see. As soon as i open any xiaomi tool device got disconnected (which was recognised earlier by windows in fastboot mode) there is a message on fastboot screen appear "(press any key to shutdown") simultaneously with disconnecting.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Cause your bootloader is already locked then fastboot mode is enabled temporarily waiting to be unlocked.

I don't see what message MiUnlock tool throws nor what is the message in fastboot mode, it looks like you are guiding only for device manager in pc properties/devices but run fastboot command in a terminal and see what happen cause your fastboot seems to work fine. If the issue is only unlock bootloader I will provide you links to good tutorials to get it but do first this.

Also update the info, you can reboot normally? Enter to recovery and what you tried to enter to edl?
[General Questions and Answers] puneetanderson:
Yes I get boot into bootloader normally.. you aren't getting what's wrong here. My laptop is capable to detect fastboot mode cause drivers installed. But as soon as I run any command or software that tries to access phone in fastboot mode phone got disconnected and simultaneously a message appears on screen saying that "press any key to shutdown". You can clearly see in the video in linked here when I press Xiaomi tool as it opens phone no longer connected . ARE YOU GETTING MY POINT? DEVICE is getting disconnected if any software or like edl mode tries to access phone which is in fastboot mode.I hope you get it.

Also unlocking is secondary thing, at first to do anything with this phone I need it's fastboot connected with windows but since connecting via usb isn't sufficient if you can't access it via cmd or softwares.

Hey guys

What is the best ad blocking app we can install without root ? I've heard about DNS66 is it good ? Or do you think it's a better idea to root the phone and go with adaway ?

Root and Adaway is best, non root options aren't really reliable.

Low ram optimization scripts?

My mums 1gb phone running aosp 7.0 (ulefone s7) would randomly freeze and don't respond .

Is there any fix for that ?

It comes to a point that the phone app freazes on incoming calls (due to low ram?) .

Or in apps like Facebook (She can't use lite or any wrapper's )

I've flashed the low ram flag mod and the ram management is fixed but it still freazes sometimes.

The ROM is clearly optimized for the 2gb version and since it's a Mediatek SOC from a China brand no custom rom support.

The company may release a Android go update/refresh of the phone so I may flash that later
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Unfortunately I have to repeat my first state so you can understand the point, I´m not friendly to use capital letters when the grammar doesn´t demand so I will use bold letters to emphasize the idea: (this is a copy-paste of my last state):

"Cause your bootloader is already locked then fastboot mode is enabled temporarily waiting to be unlocked"

This means that you can´t expect to do nothing more in fastboot mode that unlock bootloader that it´s mean that any other operation/perform/action is enabled in this mode meanwhile you don´t unlock bootloader.

You say that unlock bootloader it´s secondary, pay attention what you are writing, you can´t do nothing with device at the normal/usually way with a locked bootloader.

I said that the fastboot mode is running fine in your device (atleast it looks like), this is the more important here, the troubles are with your pc that is not capable to keep it connected.

In order to solve this there are many things that you can try (I can´t state absolutely everything) like the next:

- Uninstall all the drivers not neccesary including those of your device and all the tools Xiaomi related, then maybe you need disable driver signature from windows (just Google) and now reinstall all the drivers just for your device including MiPcSuite, MiFlash tool, MiUnlock tool and also Google for MiPhoneFlash tool (I will explain you what you going to use it later if you advance a little more)

- Disable active antivirus from your pc and check some kind of firewall that is cutting connection.

Solved this, at this stage you have to try to communicate your device with fastboot command to made sure that pc is really recognicing it (forget by now mypc/properties/devices what it´s saying) the better proof is simply that when you type fastboot devices you have a return with the ID of your device (stop and wonder if you don´t know to do this to solve it)

You said: "DEVICE is getting disconnected if any software or like edl mode tries to access phone which is in fastboot mode"

This is incorrect cause fastboot mode is other mode (I have to redundant for better comprehension) than edl mode. These two modes are different modes. Where is here edl mode supposedly? (stay alert) for this reason I asked you before "What you did to try to enter to edl mode" (stop and wonder if you don´t know what mean this to solve it, don´t jump it simply)

Unfortunately we don´t know the last questions if you can reboot normally nor enter to recovery nor enter to edl mode, is very difficult to help you without cooperation so at this stage I don´t know really what you are trying to do in fastboot mode if you don´t have interest in unlock your bootloader.

Please read carefully and take your time trying anything indicated so we can advance in this. It´s take more time trying to understand what you want to do that simply doing the things in the way that you have to do the things.

I've installed nova launcher and this feature has stopped working, apparently i have to get nova launcher prime for it to work again, is there any way to circumvent that ?

If you opt for google to sync it, wifi passwords will get saved
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
This feature is similar to full screen gestures implemented in other devices like Xiaomi, iPhone (and more) and must to work with any launcher as long as the launcher it does not prevent it. It means that not necessarily have to be implemented in the launcher but in the case of Nova launcher (not prime) as it has gestures feature then those are in off-mode so this launcher prevents them.

If you don´t like the native launcher you can try Lawnchair launcher(unreleased) by deletescape developer (There are many versions cause is an open source and any dev puts his own version in new nougat roms aosp based). Really Nova free for me is not the best actually, it was in older times.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Really 1/8/mt6580 is not the best combination but for simpler tasks it has to be enough. I think that this is not inherent exclusively to its SoC but the firmware it´s not optimized by most of chinese manufacturers.

Many devices with mtk SoCs from chinese brands have many development specially mt6572/80/82 and 89 variants and many roms which weren´t builded for a specific model they can be crossported to other devices and it is commom in these series.

Maybe you can try Facebook from some browser like Opera to avoid to install the app.

I found this rom, check if it works for your variant https://xdaforums.com/android/development/rom-s7-rom-ullefone-u007-mt6580-t3571517 and in the post #7 is linked 10 more https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4vXL_-A5tC2TmFfNmdVSnVSX00

Unfortunately, it didn't work. Your reply about starting apps from the shell was fine, and I have thanked you for it, but the app (apparently) still checked the system settings (and didn't use the environment variable) to determine the time zone. That is different from the way it works on Linux.

[General Questions and Answers] puneetanderson:
You aren't getting my point bro. I told unlocking Bootloader is second thing . What I want to say here is that if i can't maintain my phone (that is in fastboot mode)connected to pc how it is possible to think about unlocking it? Since thia unlocking requires phone in fastboot mode to connected to windows. Also I want to tell you that before I update my phone to latest ROM there was no such issue but after update this problems started so I can't figure it out what's wrong here cause drivers are already in place and ports, cable are working fine . So what makes my phone to go disconnect if try to unlock it? Just when I open unlocking software windows stop detecting my phone bootloader interface. It's like it's never connected to windows but it isn't true.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You can try using a Terminal emulator app or, if you have TWRP, you can use the Terminal Emulator that is built into TWRP to run the am command. Terminal Emulator is the same thing as adb shell, the only differences are that Terminal Emulator runs on the device, whereas adb shell runs on PC and when using Terminal Emulator to run the commands, you remove the "adb shell" part from the commands when you type them.

The update might have a bootloader that does not allow unlocking.

Also, newer versions of android have a setting in developer options to "Allow OEM unlock" that has to be enabled before using fastboot to unlock the bootloader. Do you have this setting and did you enable it?
[General Questions and Answers] Qiangong2:
It immediately goes into do not disturb when I turn the volume off
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Usually, when you turn the volume down manually, the slider goes down to 0 volume and the next step, if you press volume down again is "do not disturb", I usually turn down to 0 and stop just before it gets to "do not disturb". In other words the volume 0 step is just one step before the "do not disturb" step, just stop before you get to the "do not disturb" step.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Ok, I will try again; new Xiaomi devices has a lot of errors unfortunately at time to update and at time to try to unlock bootloader when these two things are in the same combo, for this reason there are a lot of threads about unlocking issues.

I asked you if you now can reboot normally or if you can enter to recovery or if you can enter (really) in edl mode???

I wonder how you updated, via OTA or used some tool?

If you can reboot normally then go again to developer settings and enable again usb debugging and oem unlock (some time this last option returns to original state automatically) and now connect device (power on) to pc and open a terminal with admin rights in adb folder and type adb reboot bootloader if it didn´t work then something goes wrong (pc-drivers-firewall or an unresponsive device cause this partition was lightly damaged) it´s important to try this method to get some diagnose. Then in fastboot mode if you got it atleast manually type now fastboot devices and you have to receive a return with the ID of device; forget by now MiUnlock tool, you are guiding your self like I said before on what says in properties/devices of pc and how your device is responding to this tool but it´s not conclusive to determine the issue if you are jumping the first step.

At this last stage you will get two scenarios if you did it at this way:

- Your device is not responding at fastboot commands so you can´t unlock bootloader by now and you have to take other way/s. Why happen this? there are a lot of possible reasons (cloned device obviously not certified, OTA update with a wrong firmware that it´s means a bad flashing, many users talk about "fake" roms preinstalled onto device before update and then updating bricks or semibricks device, and a large etc....) or....

- Your device is responding to fastboot commands (then you are lucky) and so you have to take other way cause the issue is with the tool only and now it´s opened a long way to a lot of tricky methods to can unlock bootloader.

Finger crossed so you can get the line....

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------

Ah ok, the best bet now maybe would be to root it and delete/uninstall all the crap/bloatware including if needed the native launcher and the native calling app but with many care.

Here there is a tool for your device, in the menu is an option to install recovery although I didn´t find it inside the zip and it looks capable to root it https://www.getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-ulefone-s7/ and here´s the mirror link http://www.mediafire.com/file/r8863s24ntemmbd/ulefone_S7_toolkit.zip

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
There are some things that you can try that come to mind (and maybe more) imho if you are familiar with this kind of things;

- Deodex (if it´s)

- Zipalign

- Debloat

- This is a good tool to re-made your rom with some tweaks and re-flash onto device https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwA18ULtXsASUTdLOEMxakRjWjA/view

- Tweak build.prop here´s some guide https://beebom.com/android-build-prop-tweaks/ and http://www.**********.com/free-ram-build-prop-tweaks/

- Kernel Adiutor app

- Don´t keep activities/background process in dev options.

- Don´t move app data to ext sdcard.

- There are some ram optimizer/speed booster apps in Play Store but I don´t know if these work.

The best would be that you can get some custom rom based on pure android but it looks that there is not any development around this device (maybe in russian forums)

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You can try using the ZRAM mod or create a swap partition.

RAM booster apps are a waste of storage, none of them do what you think they do, unlike PC, in android, saved RAM is wasted RAM. Also, the RAM booster and task manager apps kill vital system processes that have to continuously be reloaded each time they are killed, this increases load on your processor and increases battery drain.

Are you sure that you have all the latest system drivers for your motherboard? Such as the AMD/Intel chipset and USB drivers for your system? These would cause USB connectivity issues.

Have you given your system USB permissions to access/modify the device via USB?

Are you certain that you don't have an antivirus or firewall program on PC that is triggering a block to the connection?
