It is gone, if your phone is unlocked you can fastboot flash.

Else you have to try about 50 times from the edl-mode.

I'm still at the cabin and can't help you more right now.

Happy Easter

Xiaomi is also the second smartest company of 2015. Only Tesla is smarter, according to the MIT.

Source: Google to 50 smartest companies 2015 MIT

And I think it's in the top 5 Android manufacturer for 2015. (I think place 3,but I'm too lazy to fact check right now.)

There have been endless lawsuits between Apple and other brands. Samsung won some recently.

Apple also sues anything they find to sue on a regular base. I still miss PearOs it was buggy but fun, socks that Apple took it down.

(Google isn't all sunshine either, just to have this here.)

Agree on the part that every company is a company in the end, they want money. And as information is expensive (worth a lot of money), companies want that too.

My phone is not unlocked sadly.

What options I have now to recover, can i just flash a new rom by using MI Flash.

Also I didnt get this : "Else you have to try about 50 times from the edl-mode."
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TheUltrametricSpace:
You only have the edl-mode, to flash.

It is a state you can boot the phone into.

The easiest will be to wait for the unlock; unlock the phone and flash with MiFlash.

If you don't want to wait then read up on the edl-mode it will be your only hope. On en.miui.com is a guide for the redmi note 3 read it carefully and try something similar. Some recovered the phone after trying about 50 times with a modified flash_all script.

Edl is for emergency download mode, and you get there by adb reboot Edl or holding both volume keys. On the mi 5 you may not see a led indication, but it will pop-up as device on your pc.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kickassdave:
Struggling a bit here...

So I got permission to unlock, installed latest Dev ROM and now have root access available in the Security centre. However, due to system/device encryption, various root related activities do not work as the system can't mount as RW (I can see this specifically in the logs when I try to disable ads via adawy - v3.1 (latest))

Now I know to fix, I simply need to do the following:

--enter recovery

--wipe all data

--push dev rom to device

--install

--reboot and voila...

However, when I try to enter recovery, I just get a black background with a white outlined phone and a power cable picture. If you plug in, the image just changes to show that. Nothing else.

I've already pushed TWRP to the device via fastboot (successful) so not sure what's going on. "Reboot to recovery" within the device just boots me to the same place too.

Is there something I'm missing?? I'm reasonably techy and happy to wipe and start again etc, so any help is much appreciated.

Only problem is I can't really download the full ROM while at work just now, and I think to remove encryption you have to wipe full SD don't you?

[EDIT]

OK I managed to get to recovery via Flashify... however, the screen is unresponsive while in recovery - anyone have this issue?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TheUltrametricSpace:
Edit:

You have a different problem. What exactly is your problem? What do you want from the old-Recovery (that's not on the phone anymore)?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kickassdave:
Will that remove the encryption? I downloaded the developer ROM and flashed via system update method - although I presume that's where my problem lies - I need to fastboot flash or recovery flash to remove the encryption right?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TheUltrametricSpace:
You can not remove the encryption by flashing any official MIUI ROM based on Android 6. So no, that wont help you.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kickassdave:
Is there any actual way to get past the encryption of the data? I have a passcode set and that doesn't work...

And the encryption and lockdown of system editing prevents adaway and likely other applications from working correctly. It's a bit annoying!

[EDIT]

I performed a wipe in recovery... now I can't fastboot flash or recovery flash a rom... since I can't read the contents of the SD card to pick the rom i want to flash

the device appears to no longer be recognised either. What a flippin nightmare.

PHEW - got out of it flashing system.img ... curious.. as I didn't have to flash the tonne of other stuff in the actual tar...

[EDIT - AWESOME]

You CAN remove the encryption with a stock fastboot ROM... GET IN! My phone is no longer encrypted :)

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jaannnis:
Say it when i'm wrong, but i believed you don't even have to have your bootloader unlocked for recovery. (Unlocked mine the same day as i got it, so i'm not sure tho)

just turn your phone off and press volume up + power button till you see the mi logo, then release.

Also (if you're on MIUI) you can go to the updater app, press the three dots in the upper right corner and tap reboot to recovery.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] fopoku2k2:
thanks for the reply, but i noticed mi5 does not really have a recovery. the image of a phone connected to usb cable is actually the recovery mode that i was soo looking for . . .. ironic. i managed to safely flash twrp.

After contacting orange and parting with 20 pounds, I have been sent an unlock code so that I can use a Vodaphone sim. Since I had made multiple attempts prior to receiving the code, I am now getting a message saying "you have tried 11 times please wait for timeout...." I have retried after 24 hours without any success. I have also spoken to both Orange and HTC without any success. I have already done a hard reset which hasn't worked. I would like to try and flash the device with the original Orange rom but don't know where to find it. Greatly appreciate any assistance. Thx Mebz
[P3600 ROM Development] steveecourt:
Orange did not release an Orginial rom, the nearest to it is the mUn rom which is is on the WIKI rom page.

Why dont you just use the unlock programs on here that work rather than paying Orange, if you have cooked your rom the code from Orange will be useless.

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iasi_me:
Hello to all, firstly sorry for my english if there is something wrong.. sorry :)

I'am one of the user who update my Huawei P8 GRA-L09 to the latest firmware of Marshmallow B317 from B200, after 1 day of usage i'v have a conclusion about Marshmallow B317 :

-. Camera quality is bad now after update to Marshmallow, even if there is an professional setting now,

-. The battery is ok but worst than in Lolipop

-. Transition Page has been modified to something fade "I don't like it " bring it back HUAWEI !

-. From Updater, the option " Local Update " is no more, you can't make Local Update only Wifi

-. and other minor things..

I'v tried all things to downgrade, Rollback to B300 but nothing.. Reset / Restore but nothing.. Remain the same B317 firmware.

And today I have successfully Downgrade to Lolipop 5.0 B170 and here are the steps :

1. Download B200 Rollback, unzip it and put the " dload " folder in the SD Card.

After that : Shut down the Phone, Press Volume UP + Volume Down + Power in the same time and hold until you see the Update. In the Settings you will see the same B317 but is nothing

Download here B200 : http://huawei-info.de/p8-mm-rollback

2. Format your SD Card in android

2. Download B170 Firmware Europe Lolipop 5.0, extract it and put only " dload" folder in SD Card, after that dial *#*#2846579#*#* it will appear a menu with options and select SOFTWARE UPGRADE > SD Card update

Download here B170 Europe Firmware : http://www.carbontesla.com/2015/08/download-huawei-p8-l09-b170-android-5-0-firmware-emui-3-1/

That's it, thank you !

Downgrade from backup?

Hi all, I have tried this metod to downgrade but it says faild. Have stock recovery. So my question is : is it safe to go back to B200 from my twrp backup?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
B317 was a little buggy, but still much better than B200.

0. Camera? Its the same.

1. Battery is worst than in Lolipop? Its like 1/3 better, and i have a lot apps.

2. just detail

3. Why do you need local update in settings anyway? I really dubt there will be any other version than Marshmallow, its not nexus, and huawei pretty much sucks at support.

4. Everything is better in Marshmallow, much better UI, much better battery life, much better performance, more stable.

Maybe you should try latest version B321, its perfect.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blackwidow2016:
How I rolled back to lollipop from marshmallow:

1) Goto this webiste: http://www.huawei-info.de/p8-mm-rollback

2) Download these 2 files:

a) GRA-L09 Rollback-Datei

Huawei-Info, 177 MB, Zip

MD5: 9ac71084bb0dd7bf542c41cc4e0004fb

b) Download GRA_L09_Europe_GRA-L09_C432B200 Full Version

Zip, 1,7 GB, Mega

md5: 50bbc81de40ee8ef4038169fd923838b

3) extract the first file (GRA-L09 Rollback-Datei) and copy the folder "dload" to your SD card

4) Enter your Dialer and type in the following: *#*#2846579#*#*

5) This will enter a new menu, Select Option 4: Software Upgrade. Then Select Option 1: SDCard Upgrade. Click OK when prompted

The phone wil reboot and install the first update, wait untill the phone has fully updated and finished. It will now still be on Marshmallow so heres how to downgrade to lollipop

1) Open your SD card and delete the folder dload

2) extract the second downloaded file (Download GRA_L09_Europe_GRA-L09_C432B200 Full Version) and copy the folder "dload" to your SD card

4) Enter your Dialer and type in the following: *#*#2846579#*#*

5) This will enter a new menu like before, Select Option 4: Software Upgrade. Then Select Option 1: SDCard Upgrade. Click OK when prompted

The phone wil reboot and install the second update, wait untill the phone has fully updated and finished. Now you will have to setup your phone all over again as thought it was a new phone. Once you have setup your Region, Wi-Fi and google account then phone will be done and you are now back on Android 5.0.1
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iasi_me:
I'v just tried and B321 and… one thing is better, a little "battery life" but the camera is AWFULL. I'v tested some pics with Lollipop and Marshmallow from the same posision, angle, it doesn't compare, they must repair fix camera quality on Android 6. ( Try to take shots with Android 6 and Android 5 and pinch to zoom you'll see big differences in terms of quality ) I will wait maybe Huawei will fix Camera or maybe it's too late because is coming Android N.

Right now I'm on B350 Lollipop 5.1.1 and I think it's the best Firmware at this moment.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
could you please send me your comparision? ive just took some shots and its very good and clear (and im very demanding camera user)

here is my sample on B321, a little bad focused on tomcat (shaky hands), but the grass is very sharp and clear

PS. Next one, this one should show the amount of detail in shot, maybe lolipop had better, but if so, i really didnt notice
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iasi_me:
re

That's mean to reinstall again Android 6 and take again photos, but take photos from a far landscape not macro, pinch zoom then you will see big differences clarity between Android 6 and Android 5.

Yes I now in the sun every camera take good shots even my old Nokia N82.

These was taken with Android 5 Lollipop and keep in mind I don't take photo outside just like you, so Android 5.1.1 Camera ROCKS !
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
alright, so today i had to reflash whole MM again, so i had to flash B200 again so i tested camera quality in both of them, and its the same. Both low light condition, same angle, on MM its very clear and very sharp even in zoom, just like B200 sample (after update i did factory reset and wipped cache to be sure its like it should be) :good:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] imahsen:
Hi,

With launch of Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge several companies launched their flagship devices, such as Sony Xperia X , HTC One M10, Xiaomi Mi 5, LG G5 etc...

I'm about the change my phone and need some help to choose between Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge & LG G5 .

Here LG G5 seems have better specs but Galaxy S7 Edge is more popular device.

Need some suggestion from the geeks ;)

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] h3ck:
Firstly, I chose the galaxy s7 edge so take my opinion however you feel. That disclaimer aside, I think it boils down to personal preference on features.

S7 edge

-Superior Camera (fact, LG is trying but Samsung is beating Apple at their own game)

-Superior Screen (fact, led is king LG knows that and still insists on LCD, look at the TV game)

-Superior DAC (fact, audio processing on s7 is top notch and LG is just now learning that matters. )

-Superior Design (personal preference)

Those are my four main features. Processors are all a dime a dozen now (Snapdragon 820 aka latest), RAM is over abundant (who needs 4gb lol but I'll take it), memory card slot, fast charging, wireless (LG doesn't have), etc.

The point is that you gotta figure out why you buy phones. Maybe wireless charging doesn't matter to you. Maybe removable battery is super important to you. Maybe you like LCD over LED. Maybe the LG OS had features you like. The point is they are both great, it's you who makes "one better than the other".

Take this with a grain of salt. But The Verge always gets accused of Apple bias. This year they rated the s7 edge higher than the iPhone for design, quality, speed, etc. It's an amazing phone. I don't regret my purchase. But as you can see I've had quite a few Samsung phones. Maybe the LG G2x scared me too deep (for anyone who understands that reference you win 25 Internet points today)! Good luck and I hope you pick your best phone.
