The Mi 5s acquired lots of big scratches on top of its display just in the week we had it for a review. We suggest that you apply a screen protector on it as soon as you take the phone out of its box."

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

From several posts on the Xiaomi forum, it turns out that the mi5s Plus DOES NOT HAVE GORILLA GLASS but uses a in-house glass hardening from Xiaomi.

I now have the device since 3 weeks and use it as my daily drive.

I doesn't have tempered glass to protect it.

I do not take more than basic precautions (I don't put the phone in my pocket where I have my keys).

After 3 weeks : not a single scratch, even the tiniest one.

Well actually the fingerprint reader is really great on my N910C, and I have yet to find any Marshmallow rom that offers fingerprint log-on after a cold boot. They all work for apps and stand-by on/off log-on, but not at boot.

If you're talking about Note 7 ports, the reason why fingerprint is not working, the same reason as to why AOD is not working, is because of hardware differences.

The reason why Ramrom manages to get fingerprint working is because it's not really a port but more of a stock Note 4 rom with a Note 7 skin and apps available on it.

Is it possible that after ending call it just wont appear and i could browse on the internet without waiting while that notification will dissapear?

I downloaded End Call app, but there's only go to dialer/contacts options. But for example I want to stay where I am after my call(e.g stay on browser), I dont want to go to dialer or contacts after ended call :/

[Moto G 2014 LTE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
The issue appears to be that you have flashed the XT1068 Bootloader and this cannot be simply undone by flashing the motoboot.img via mfastboot.

This thread describes the process for unbricking an XT1068, but may also be applicable for your handset. You will need another user with an XT1078 to provide you with the partition backups:

http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-lte/help/moto-g-xt1068-aka-moto-g-2nd-generation-t3435052

There is a risk that this won't work and your phone will never turn on again.

If you prefer, you could just flash a custom Stock MM ROM (if available) or CM/AOSP ROM via TWRP.

You already almost completely destroyed your handset by flashing the wrong bootloader. You don't exactly have many options here.
[Moto G 2014 LTE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peacehope:
I've tried this method.

After a backup of all partitions on another default XT1078, the restore process on my phone finished with error only on /system or /data (I don't remember well).

Then I've tried to boot, but it had boot loop, just blinking very fast the Warning screen of unlocked bootloader.

It didn't work. :/

The only working method was merging XT1068 and XT1078 ROMs. Now Wifi and Mobile Data are working.

Now I can't change this ROM. Lineage or the whole XT1078 stock can't be installed. :(

The problem was that I didn't realize I was applying a XT1068 ROM on a XT1078 phone.

As all partitions were changed by flashing gpt.bin, the correct gpt.bin of XT1078 can't be applied.

Any solution????
[Moto G 2014 LTE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjausen:
I am afraid that there is no solution right now. You already permanently ****ed up your machine by flashing a wrong motoboot.img and GPT, that is, by not using a correct ROM file. You were careless, because mfastboot is a DANGEROUS tool that requires CARE and a wrong use of this tool can turn your Moto device into a fancy black paperweight. It has no security measures that prevent you from flashing a stock ROM for a wrong device, which is what you did by not making sure that you were using a correct (or at least compatible) firmware.

I am afraid that your device is now crippled for life unless you somehow can force the correct motoboot and GPT in your phone (impossible AFAIK) or you get a new Thea motherboard and replace the current one. You are very lucky that you can still boot it, because most people in your situation are left with a permanent hard brick. Can you get into fastboot and is your bad bootloader unlocked? If so, you can try installing TWRP and LineageOS for Titan (then the worst you risk is a soft brick) or leave the "stock" franken-ROM that "works".

IMO you should get a spare XT1078 motherboard, unlock it's bootloader (AND NEVER TOUCH IT AGAIN UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED), flash TWRP and IMMEDIATELY flash LineageOS+GApps so you never have to deal with stock ROMs and the dangers they carry when handled carelessly. With custom AOSP based ROMs and recoveries the worst thing you risk is a soft brick, which you can fix by reflashing a proper custom ROM in TWRP and/or wiping partitions. No recovery? You still have a working fastboot to flash another TWRP. Messing with /system is MUCH SAFER than messing with your bootloader.

I hope you have learned a lesson about the real risk of flashing smartphone firmwares without doing enough research first. It's no game, a wrong step and no more phone for you.
[Moto G 2014 LTE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peacehope:
Nice answer, benjausen.

I've done a lot of things on more than 10 different mobile phone models, but for the first time I think there is no complete solution.

My only solution was using a mix of XT1068 and XT1078 Stock ROMs, flashing one component per time. The only bug is on screen rotation that is rotating to the wrong side. The rest is fine.

I'd like to install LineageOS, but flashing isn't being possible. It is giving error.

Only the way I mentioned was successful. Is there any manual way to flash components separated instead of using a .zip file?
[Moto G 2014 LTE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjausen:
I don't have a lot of advice for you, as a previous post states your options are pretty much limited. Try flashing individual .img files from a LineageOS ROM. Try downloading one for Titan and patching the images inside it.
[Moto G 2014 LTE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peacehope:
I don't have now a LineageOS ROM to check, but if I'm not wrong, it doesn't have each separated file as Stock ROM. Am I wrong?

I've flashed many Stock ROMs manually file by file, but never with custom ROMs.

Can you please provide any link teaching this with custom ROMs? I really want to try this.

Maybe this can be a solution, and if it works we will help many people here.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravemind2015:
Well, in the firmware files, the system.sparsechunk are essentially the stock android rom parts. Modem files are not included in standard ROMs. So you need to erase and re-flash radio modem files from the fastboot. No need to wipe current CM 12.1, but to have a greater chance of success, take a nandroid, do a full fastboot firmware flash and then restore the nandroid. Better to restore just /data and reflash ROM+Gapps+others and wipe /cache, dalvik/art.

I'm torn between the two. Can someone please provide input.
[Note 7 Accessories] de31p5:
i bought the otterbox defender returned it and got the unicorn beetle pro. i like the UB more but i believe it wont be as protective, the otterbox encases the phone in hard plastic then wraps with rubber, while the UB has a front plastic clipped to the phone then rubber for back half that wraps over the front plastic. in severe drops the rubber will still deform and allow for flex, the otterbox has the "exoskeleton" over the phone that gives it rigidity then the rubber outside for shock absorption.

However i returned the otterbox because i had issues with the power button not working correctly, and i didnt like the screen protector. i decided that the few times i do field work outside the office where i would need a protective case did not warrant the $59.99 purchase price over the $17 unicorn beetle.

I have both and I prefer the UB pro more. Feels better. I got a screen protector and slapped it on and used the UBPro. It's was perfect. No edges came up or anything. Ultimate protection.
