[Xiaomi Mi 4] feb289:
Hey, should xiaomi owners (typical consumers) should be worried about these secutiy concerns? I know this is a serious matter of privacy but is it enough to stay away from it?
[Xiaomi Mi 4] assist4tech:
Hi. This is a very old topic and concern. Security concerns were raised as MIUI v5 used to directly sync data to their cloud storage, MI cloud. So it looked like all data was secretly being sent to China. However this has been resolved as soon as the matter was brought to notice. Now you have control over what gets synced. So there is no reason to be scared

Are you sure it isn't Xiaomi Cloud Service just like iCloud?

[Moto X Q&A] Sillux:
Basic phone user here.

I just got the brand spankin' new Moto X from Rogers (Fido, a subsidiary) and try as their techs might to assist me, the damn thing is stuck on the original Rogers firmware and won't grab the update, so currently it's stuck on system version 139.7.26.ghost_row.RCI.en.CA. Moto and Rogers are basically telling me to ship it for repairs - takes X weeks, and I should mention the reason I have this new Moto X is because the last one got all knocked up at the exact same repair place....yeah, forget that.

So it's pretty much down to me to fix this myself, but at the same time I really don't want to void any warranty just incase worse comes to worst and I do need to send it for repairs/rinse-repeat this whole process again.

I'm hoping you guys can help me! What I'd like to do is apply the OTA Rogers updates for 139.12.36.ghost_row.RCI.en.CA and 161.44.26.ghost_row.RCI.en.CA through any which means that would absolutely certainly not void the Motorola warranty, which I think basically limits me to finding these impossibly hard-to-find files for the 2 updates that would allow me to simply "apply update from SD card"....ya?

I've found a few threads here, but most of them seem to be to just flash the full rom or update rom(?). From what the warranty reads, it sounds as though flashing a ROM using a third-party program would void it. There was also a thread (lost in my history now) that seemed to do what I wanted for GOING FROM 139.12.36.ghost_row.RCI.en.CA TO 161.44.26.ghost_row.RCI.en.CA, but unfortunately I'm a version behind being able to do that.

Anyways yeah that's it. This hell has had me without a truly-usable Moto for over a month now and I AM LITERALLY DYING. I don't even want to download apps since I'll probably just end up having to wipe the damn thing for like the 8th time. I just want my phone back :(

Please help guys; any ideas, advice, w/e are greatly appreciated!
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Flash the entire 4.4.2 sbf! Follow the instructions in the return to 100% stock thread.

It will take you straight to 4.4.2!

It will erase everything so save anything important first.

Everything you need and full instructions are in that thread.

This will not void warranty. These are actual Motorola factory images, signed with release keys.
[Moto X Q&A] Sillux:
Well I guess that answers that then! Here I was searching for everything that didnt involve flashing. Thanks a lot!

I had a problem, after flashing kernel and rom, i was not getting signal? wht can be the issue?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] giveme13s:
I tried to reproduce your problem, but failed.

I tried flashing kernel, flash rom, boot to system, and then boot to recory, flash gapps.

Also I tried flashing kernel, flash rom and gapps, boot to system.

For both cases, phone and wi-fi signals are OK.

Did you do clean install (wiping dalvik cache, system, cache, and data)?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] solidsnakecod4:
i did clean and installed rom, maybe problem is occurring coz of recovery, i used twrp recovery as instructed..if possible can tell me which version of twrp u used to flash?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] giveme13s:
The TWRP recovery in zip file.

Could you please try this?

- extract boot.img from ROM zip file

- power off honami

- connect honami with your computer while pressing vol up

- open a command prompt, and type "fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img"

- boot into recovery, wipe clean, and flash ROM zip file

Torch Quick Settings Tile bug

Just noticed that there is a bug (torch quick settings tile doesn't work).

Somehow during compilation, OmniTorch.apk was not generated.

I'm still investigating and recompiling sources.

Meanwhile, here is dirty and quick solution.

Download this zip file, boot to recovery, wipe Dalvik Cache & Cache, and flash it (better nandroid backup before flashing, just in case)

The zip file will copy OmniTorch.apk (which I grabbed from OmniRom that I built last month) into /system/app directory.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] giveme13s:
For C-ROM, @OmarEinea built it for Z1 Compact, thread is here, and porting it to our Z1 is less complicated than compiling... :) since he also gives instructions here on how to port Z1 ROMs to run on Z1 Compact, just do the opposite from the instructions given there.

...just my two cents...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] OmarEinea:
C-ROM is a really cool ROM and highly customizable but it is a dead project now (I think), it's been three months since their last update (v7.1)!!

RASTAKAT - PURITY ROM - linearboost (nothing really interesting about them!)

But the great thing I noticed is OmniPlus which will save me a loooot of time instead of including features my self (I haven't tried to compile yet, but will do soon)

Omar.

The list of apps in that script are safe to freeze and that is why they are included in the script. You don't have to use the script, just freeze the apps that have a strike through them on the list.

Hey guys! I really hope someone out there could help me.

Soooo, I rooted my phone a while ago (galaxy s4 i337 build mk2 4.3) to erase all the bloatware and stuff.

I decided to unroot it using titanium backup because my phone was starting to slow down, even after moving off all pictures/music (what was taking up the most storage).

When i unrooted it, it was still slow and the update wouldn't go past 27%, so i was stuck on 4.3.

A few days ago I tried to flash the stock firmware using Odin and lost 4g data/any type of network data but still can connect to wifi and call/text.

ps I used a post from androidrootz, and since I am a new member, I am unable to post that link in this post.

dude that is sooo old cheese already. you really seem to have a personal problem with xiaomi?

go read a bit:

http://www.cnet.com/news/xiaomi-makes-cloud-messaging-opt-in-amid-privacy-concerns/

http://www.androidcentral.com/hugo-barra-responds-xiaomi-privacy-concerns

Xiaomi has added encryption to the communication in an updated firmware, and the cloud service is now opt-in.

while i will say that unencrypted transfer is uncool, most of the stuff transferred (or actually all) has to do with their cloud service.

Apple & Google are doing the same stuff, i bet you Samsung does also.

so what is the big deal here? that it was not encrypted? or that it sends something in the first place?

First off do I have issues with them? Sure most here do but that is a whole other matter.
