[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] pawwaap:
However, as one can read in this forum, there are other methods too, which do not need unlocking the bootloader.

And BTW, how programs like KingRoot do their job onto MiMax stock ROM?

If one got ROOT rights then could flash TWRP via Flashify gotten from PlayStore, and then using TWRP whatever needed - still without unlocking the bootloader.

Would you agree?

I do not usually use camera but last night I needed and really it`s not good but this is for me the only disadvantage

I think that if you get by any method root device and get to flash recovery you`re not able to simply install any rom on it, you`re risky to brick, you must do more actions to avoid xiaomi security for unlocked bootloaders. Read this thread about that, maybe help you https://xdaforums.com/mi-max/how-to/guide-install-global-miui8-root-t3435594

Here is more than 7 hours to get dark, meanwhile you can give an idea in this thread is about that, https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69301212&postcount=22 there are pictures with low lights. I don`t know why but my pictures are worst than these. Photos in original resolution looks relatively fine but when you want enlarge it quality is missing and you`ll see difference anyway you must consider that at this price is not bad at all and also the importance of event to take photos with mi max, it means that for a current day...no prob but if you go to an important event don`t use your camera from mi max. It`s just my opinion, or your good memories will have been lost

not able to unlock bootloader

I followed the steps and flashed latest chinese dev rom (Nougat). i made sure that find my phone is on as well.( could see my phone location on pc)

It still says "Couldnt Verify Device"

I also made sure usb debugging and oem unlocking is on in developer settings

Please help :/

Have you gotten the notification that your request for unlocking has been granted? If so, have you registered your phone for 'find my device'? That's a must. Go to tool - mi account and then find device. See screenshot.

Thanks! Successfully flashed my phone.

As a tip for anyone else, the latest Mi Unlock version was giving me an error that it couldn't unlock my phone because my Xiaomi account hadn't been bound to my phone for 72h. Using an older version of the unlocker got around this. I grabbed it from here:

Hey , this is a small tool -you can call it patch - to compress kernel / recovery ramdisk .

Why this tool ?

Simply some devices have little space for kernel / recovery like samsung galaxy star which has about 10MBs for kernel/recovery .

How to use :

You must first activate LZMA support for ramdisks in kernel Go to your kernel config file then change this

# CONFIG_RD_LZMA is not set

TO

CONFIG_RD_LZMA=y

Clone the tool under device/vendor_name/device_name.

Add those line to your BoardConfig.mk file .

# LZMA compression for recovery's & kernel ramdisk....
BOARD_CUSTOM_BOOTIMG_MK := device/vendor_name/device_name/custombootimg.mk
BOARD_CANT_BUILD_RECOVERY_FROM_BOOT_PATCH := true

Enjoy .

Note :

This tools is used while you building any ROM/Kernel/Recovery from source .

This tool should work with any device .

LZMA compression takes more time to decompress than GZIP but When I tested it didn't take more than 1 or 2 more seconds to decompress .

You won't be able to decompress boot.img or recovery.img using boot-repacker or unpack tool for linux as you will get an error because those tools won't be able to decompress ramdisks for recovery or kernel -boot-repacker only gives you kernel zImage- and If you want to edit anything in ramdisk you will need to build it again from source !!!

This tool derived from

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/96227/

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/118533/​

Results using this tool :

Before :

Kernel ramdisk : 1.1 MB (1,117,760 bytes) .

recovery ramdisk : 4.2 MB (4,158,392 bytes) .

Total kernel.img : 9.1 MB (9,111,552 bytes) .

Total recovery.img : 12.2 MB (12,152,832 bytes) .

After :

Kernel ramdisk : 579.3 kB (579,257 bytes) .

recovery ramdisk : 2.7 MB (2,736,844 bytes) .

Total kernel.img : 8.6 MB (8,572,928 bytes) .

Total recovery.img : 10.7 MB (10,731,520 bytes) .

Something to discuss :

Maybe you find that these compress is not enough to save up the space or you maybe find this is very suitable for you , In my case it was useful in some aspects and not in others .

I tried to use LZMA compression for kernel zImage it self and it was pretty good (8 MBs to 2.9 MBs) but the problem that the kernel wasn't loaded so It themes that the bootloader of my device hate LZMA compression or anything else I didn't figure it out so If you find anyway to run and support LZMA compression for kernel please kindly let me know .

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LarappsOfDongle:
Neat idea. How do I implement this into a ROM? I see boot.img and recovery.img tutorials but nothing for ROM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LehKeda:
You mean compress system.img with LZMA ? if yes , no you can't .
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LarappsOfDongle:
Do you think you could modify TWRP so it could handle zips zipped using LZMA instead of just plain deflate? It'd be very useful to get 300-500mb zips down to 200-350mb
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LehKeda:
It won't reduce the actual size of the ROM it will reduce the zip file size -you will have to download/upload 200 to 300 mb instead of 300 to 500 mb- so it isn't useful that much as you can compress rom zip file before uploading then decompress it again after downloading .

BTW ... Is it good to replace device default bootloader with another one ? and Is there any way to backup it ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LarappsOfDongle:
Yes that's what I mean is reducing the zip file size, I don't care about the size of the ROM. You probably can on Nexus devices since they are developer friendly however I do not know about other devices.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LehKeda:
Messing with recovery mechanism doesn't theme so much fair while you can do it by any other file compressor :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LarappsOfDongle:
What I'm saying is TWRP cannot currently handle flashable zips using anything other than plain Deflate so it would need modifying to support zips zipped using LZMA2 or Deflate64 for example.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LehKeda:
that's theme a little bit interesting .....maybe I'll look into it .

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] The Sickness:
Let me be 1st....

It's great to see someone taking the initiative to learn and develop kernels for both variants.

I had no doubt that it would be you to take over the kernel development here. I'm pleased that my kernel guide helped you in achieving success.

This is just the beginning......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stangdriver44:
Welcome

Absolutely agree with The Sickness!

It is so great to see people who actually want to learn, learn!

This is NEVER an easy task, especially with our day to day lives and real world duties always getting in the way, but for a few truly dedicated that do this for their own knowledge and power so that can DO things and not be told what they can do or have their phones do, they take the many, many, many ok one more, many hours of reading to finally get a chance to try something on their own and to hopefully with great success!

Then to bring that new found knowledge from the countless hours and share with the rest of us here!

That is why just a little appreciation goes a long way.

For even a simple rom mod, by which a Kernel build is not even in the same category, but a simple mod which for myself or the sickness may now only take me a few minutes to complete, doesn't take in to account the knowledge we gained from the days, months and even years to gain.

So let's welcome our newest Android Developer [MENTION=4676281]Maqical[/MENTION] with the help of the recently retired (we'll see lol, but best of luck with your future endeavors!) and mentor [MENTION=4921688]The Sickness[/MENTION] who has brought to us all countless roms, mods, guides, support and now kernels!

So for anyone wondering what's the point of hitting the thanks button or simply giving a little feedback when we ask, this is what keeps us going because we don't have to share, we d9nt have to add the mod or update that project or make it compatible for your device, it already works fine in our phones and I don't use that mod or why that what?

We do it because we are simply giving back to the community that gave us so much!

So hit the thanks, mention our projects and share with others what we have shared to you for free!

Thanks.

I will probably be editing this 9nce I read it later when I'm not sleep posting. Lol

Congrats and good luck fill8ng those boots! You know I love ya Chris and miss your presence here! What's this about N7?...

Added a poll to the post

My hard drive is slowly failing and my Linux Machine experiencing reboots, errors and loss of data

Called up Western Digital, they already shipped me a new SSHD, I've been having issues for quite awhile but never realized what it was til linux kept spamming me errors and rebooting and investigated.. but that means I have to reinstall windows, and linux and reinstall everything.. fork my source and finish where I left off.

What I want to know is how are things for you guys?

Do you want me to release another noncompleted beta? or ok with waiting a few more days for me to finish it 105%

I ask because I have no idea how much you guys want/need something new to flash!... buuuut the trade off is, like most of you may know my S6 is out of service (heavy cracked screen) Right now using a friends extra Note 4 until I get my screen replaced, SO! another v3 beta could be just as a failure as the last one one sadly, reboots a bit battery drain compared to v2 :( I haven't been able to test these at all which is why I'm asking you guys

Please take a second and answer the poll on the thread I will be making a decision within 24 hours depending on your guys' answers

Thanks again for the endless support with absolutely everything and being so patience with all my misfortune and problems, wouldn't be able to do it without you guys.
