Hi, Thanks for replying.

I've tried that but it just restarts the phone and thats either with volume up or volume down.

I've managed to dig out an old windows machine and when i've plugged the phone in there and pressed vol - + Power, it shows up as "one" with a yellow question mark and under "other devices"

Try fastboot devices command!

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuppal10:
Hi,

But from what i've been reading on fast boot command, doesn't the phone require to be in a fast boot mode? mine unfortunately cannot get to that stage.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MZO:
Yes, I have heard that a specific logo.bin doesn't have any image for fastboot (I've heard it form someone) so if that's the case it wouldn't show you if it is in fastboot. Maybe worth a shot :/

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuppal10:
Hi all,

Right so ive tried following a guide online but i cannot seem to get past the driver stage.

All i get is in device manager and "other devices", i just see the word "one" with a yellow exclamation mark.

Which drivers would i need to install? this only appears like this in windows XP whilst in windows 10 it appears as a MTP device.

[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ash59uk:
I took a gamble buying a Chinese phone redmi-note 2 but sadly! it hasn't worked out for me.

All I wanted from it, was for it to do what it is supposed to do.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth doesn't connect to any of my devices, car, Hi-fi and not even my nexus 7!

Miui updater

Totally useless on my phone. This app crashes every time I select "choose update package"

I have looked for help on YouTube but the majority of videos seem to be Indian, using Indian versions of software where the updater app seems to work perfectly.

I managed to root my nexus 7 with ease but the redmi-note 2 is a nightmare.

I could really do with some of you android guru's to point me in the right direction! in finding a good beginners guide to finding all the apps and suitable rom for my phone, Or better still.! A way to get Bluetooth to work.
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibeqa:
First of all check if your device has official rom or custom (if you bought it from China it probably has custom rom so flash official one).

Mine is working very good...
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crim Soukyuu:
I second what ibeqa said - you're probably running a crapware-loaded ROM. Crashing updater is a good hint. You could also look into "about phone" section for the MIUI version, if it's something like 9.99.99 then it's crapware. "Legit" ROMs have version 7.xx.yy or 6.xx.yy. The crapware ROMs are IMHO the main reason why Xiaomi decided to lock the bootloader on RN3 and other newer phones. Because obviously, those ROMs give them bad reputation even though it's not their fault.

Bluetooth works fine for me, but sometimes it hangs up forcing me to restart it - not optimal but doesn't happen too often.

As for rooting, rooting the Nexus 7 (2012) was the same as RN2 for me - connect to PC in fastboot mode, flash recovery.img, reboot to recovery and flash a custom ROM. There are enough guides out there. For the RN2, fastboot can be accessed by starting the phone with the volume down key pressed.
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nz_mincemeat:
Agree with the above. Please re-flash using official ROM via fastboot method and then try again. See http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ash59uk:
Android version 5.02 LRX22G

MIUI Version 66.77.33.00(LHMCNCH) Stable

Cpu octo core 2.2Ghz

Ram 2GB

I Have downloaded Update supersu 2.4 and miui HMNote2Global v7.2.2.0LHMMIDA_DA_d71ff21b81_5.0.zip are these correct please?

I installed CWM but have read that TWRP is the one I should be using! is that correct?

The trouble with the redmi 2 ,is there is too much conflicting information out there, making it very difficult for a newbie.

Is there any other things that I need to download?

This whole thing has really put me off the Xiaomi brand. I just expected bluetooth to work ! it is supposed to be standardised worldwide.

To you Guys it is probably fun to mess about with different roms, all I wanted was a working phone.
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crim Soukyuu:
"MIUI Version 66.77.33.00" <- that's your problem right there. You reseller installed a crapware loaded ROM and has modified the version so that you never get an update (= he can spy on you forever), had you bought from another one, you would have gotten a working phone. I know mine did.

Putting blame on Xiaomi for this is misplaced, unless you want to blame them for being dev-friendly and leaving the bootloader unlocked. They reconsidered by now, though, their newer phones are locked.

In any case, yes TWRP is the way to go personally. CWM has cut important features like backup/restore (at least the version shipped with cyanogen roms I tried), so it's basically useless.

For the ROM, if you have downloaded it from the xiaomi page, then yes. You could also get the rom from xiaomi.eu if you want to use an European language.
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nz_mincemeat:
If you just want official MIUI then you don't need to install custom recovery (use fastboot method instead as per official instructions). In fact the custom recovery will get removed next time you receive an OTA update.

Personally I use TWRP from this link http://en.miui.com/thread-224679-1-1.html because I wanted to install root. But only do this AFTER you install a clean ROM at the first place.
[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ash59uk:
I bought the phone from Gearbest.EU and expected it to be direct from Xiaomi, as I have never had a problem with this company before.

I have had another go at installing a new rom with the Mi suite and also with the miui flash tool and am not getting anywhere with it. I can't even root the damned thing as it boots into Mi when pressing vol up and start. This happened with CWM and TWRP.

I have said before,that I have little experience with android and perhaps I am going wrong somewhere! or the tutorial posters are using phones that have totally different roms to mine. ,It is very difficult when you have Indian,Chinese and global versions with many variations of each, the same seems to apply to CWM and TWRP.

Is there a way to install this via windows, ie formatting the phone and running an installer direct from pc?

I had a dabble with Linux mint and Artist in the past and found them quite user friendly, I can't believe that android is Linux based! I could have done a fresh install of windows, several times by now,the amount of time I have spent on this. Of course windows truly is global with only a couple of variations . Format disk, run and your away. Then hours installing software. :(

I am fast getting to the stage where I shall give it a bounce test, from a great height. :crying:

Hello Note 5 Gang.

Please can someone tell me how is the Backup/Restore Speed through TWRP on the Note 5?

I'm interested to know how Fast is the Internal Storage system.

Please share your thoughts and findings, Thanks a lot !
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 954wrecker:
It's fast, ~45 seconds for a ~3.5gb backup

Less than a minute to restore
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasons1004:
Usually about 60sec for about 4.5 gb backup for me

[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsbenedict:
Anyone else having trouble with their phones after updating to Marshmallow via LG Bridge?

It uninstalled many Google apps including messenger, hangouts, music, maps, android wear, and some others. Plus it uninstalled many other apps as well. I had to go and reinstall and configure many widgets (so there wasn't a compatibility issue). Then whenever I restart the phone, all of the same apps are uninstalled and I have to reinstall them all over again. I've restarted twice now and both times I lost the apps.

Very frustrating!

Don´t know why this has been an issue with mine. I restarted again and this time only the widgets had to be re-setup. At least all the apps were there and I didn't have to download them again, but I'm fearing this will happen each time I restart.

[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsbenedict:
I haven't noticed any big changes. The fingerprint scanner is much quicker and some bugs have been fixed, but it's seems to suck battery a bit more. I did not reset my phone. I hate resetting up a phone from scratch. It's a 3 or 4 hour deal as it downloads all of the apps again and then there's the loss of each app's data. I don't have my phone rooted, so I can't just use a backup and get it working in a few minutes. I love my Android Pay too much to root my phone (breaks Android Pay).

Lanchon REPIT: The In-Device Data-Sparing Repartitioning Tool For Android

REPIT is a simple, safe, device-only, data-sparing, and easily portable repartitioning tool for Android devices:

device-only: just flash a zip file in recovery to repartition the device.

simple: rename the zip file before flashing to configure your choice of partition sizes, file systems, wipes, etc.

safe:

a correctly ported REPIT can never hard-brick your device.

before starting, REPIT checks for the existence of all the tools that will be needed for the task at hand, verifies that the current partition layout passes several sanity checks, checks and fixes all the involved file systems, and verifies that the new partition layout will meet its sanity checks too. REPIT performs a dry-run of the complete repartitioning process to detect possible problems early on.

if REPIT fails, it will nonetheless try to restore your device to a working in-between state.

my estimate is that around 1000 users have already repartitioned with REPIT with no incidents of data loss, boot loops or soft bricks (2016-04).

easily portable: a simple configuration file is all that is needed to port REPIT to a new device.

lol thanks, mucho copy/pasta, fixed!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PacoRabanne2k:
Thanks so much!

Perfect tool, used this evening on a old but still used I9100!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] samarium:
Tried this on a n7000 recently, tried to resize cache, which didn't work, saw partition structure with modem after cache, and understand your concerns in the comments. I imagine the we could so some experiments like you are doing for the Honor 4, however I'm not at the stage where I want to volunteer my device as potential sacrifice.

A question on "wipe", how sure are we that "wipe" actually wipes, ie is all the previous data non-recoverable down to a block level?

Does the wipe trigger some type of NAND erase cycle? This would be problematic on n7000 given the hard brick issues with NAND firmware there, and on the n7000 IIRC the ioctl() is filtered and purposely ignored, maybe this is also an issue with i9100? I don't recall.

If I have a used ext4 parition, and then format & wipe it then I think a fstrim happens. If I then change it to vfat, and dd the partition, am I able to recover blocks from the original ext4 partition, or does the trim cause the nand to regard the blocks as empty and return 0x0000000 or 0x11111111 or something deterministic?

I'm looking for a wipe that actually wipes, ext4 and vfat, rather then my current solution which is to dd if=/dev/zero of=/path, which is slow and is difficult to get a progress report, as kill -USR1 is a PITA.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] samarium:
Thanks for the detailed reply.

I'm currently using i9100 CM12.1 & n7000 CM13/Nightowl, and have been trimming vfat partitions.

Now you remind me, I do recall reading threads about trim safe a while ago, but I think I was more irritated at the time by the seemingly random kernel crashes & process terminations that eventually were tracked down to kernel interrupt fp register save/restore, and went down the Sony path for a while while the n7000 was unusable. Amusingly, the n7000 now has CM13, while the Sony Z Ultra is languishing and isn't looking good for CM13 at the moment.

While I agree that for general SSDs, zero blocks could be compressed, and blocks could be deduped, do you really think this is happening in n7000/i9100 emmc? I dont expect so, seems they seem too old. I agree that a /dev/urandom would be a better if= than /dev/zero for dd, however this is going to use much more power, and I'm usually wiping a phone with limited time and power.

I'm not trying to protect from something as serious as direct flash chip access, just want to be reasonably sure that whatever was on the phone has been overwritten and is not easily available to standard and even mildly esoteric extraction methods.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Lanchon:
ok. then i would format in ext4 and trim. you can use repit for doing both in a single shot, but you need a trimming kernel. take a dd snapshot of one or a couple of short pieces of the partition, both before and after the operation. compare them and post here, i'd surely like to know :).

but... keep in mind that there are several different emmcs out there in the S2s, so you'd need to validate for each one. which reminds me, also post your device emmc IDs! use the eMMC brickbug check app for instance.

regarding the /dev/urandom vs /dev/zero thing, i'm not religious, i don't hold unwarranted beliefs about what i don't know. i investigate, i have no gut feelings on stuff :)

but if you want to know: i'm a bit obsessive, i certainly would have done at least something if i was coding the FTL, even if it is old. if your design is RZAT, the least you can do is trim the block instead of writing it when data is all zeros. you may think this would slow the emmc down, but this can be implemented in pseudo-zero time: writing usually entails generating some kind of checksum of the data. so note the magic checksum that corresponds to an all-zero block, and only if the checksum of the data being written matches the magic, actually check for all-zero data before writing. of course this can be 'attacked' by intentionally generating checksum collisions but who cares. the time saved by not garbage collecting, not using a free block, and not writing the block with all-zeros certainly pays for the checksum comparison against the magic value. also note that straight brute force comparison of all blocks is mostly ok too, as most written blocks will fail early anyway (ie, after one or a couple of bytes).

of course The One True Solution(R) is to encrypt the phone before using it...... assuming that you can actually wipe the key when you need to lol. ideally the key is in a separate hardware keystore adept at wiping keys. but on the S2 it just in the same eMMC :). so this is a bit like explaining where the universe came from by saying that god created it, and then conveniently forget to explain where did god come from lol.

the power drill solution still mostly works on the S2 though :)
