I just installed TWRP alpha 2 on top of franco kernel and everything is fine. The about page still shows franco #5 as my kernel. I didn't touch anything. I wasn't rooted by the way.

Nevermind I misread. Nothing to see here. :)

How is FKUpdater 2.1 working for you?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shinesthru:
Nice little write-up, thanks!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
Would you guys be interested in more write-ups with tips & tricks for Per app profiles etc on Medium?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fyyzer:
Fantastic write up! I really appreciate the time you spent to explain these features more in depth.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] qwer777:
Absolutely! I've already been thinking about implementing your maps profile.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] inscythe:
Hmmm... Somehow since updating to FKU 2.1, it has stopped detecting the kernel version, saying that it is not supported. The Settings page shows r5 correctly...

EDIT: I'm an idiot... It says that it's supported, just that the FK is not available...
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
Let me know if there's anything else you would like to see explained in depth. :good:

Gogogo!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] herandy:
I wasn't rooted back then. I had to root to get WETA to boot up though and FKUpdater beta was working flawlessly then. But I'm back to no root for now, probably until Suhide gets updated.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Savoury:
The Backup & Restore and Performance Profile thingys in the FK Updater App (yup, just bought it) arent supposed to be either there or working, are they?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
I don't know why the Backup feature isn't working properly on the Pixel. The Performance Profiles will be available as soon as we get anyKernel2 method working since the profiles are part of the ramdisk.

Thanks for the purchase! :)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Savoury:
Ok, thanks for the clarification, i also noticed that the Navigationbar Coloring option only appears to be working in the Updater App, but not on any other application.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shinesthru:
I don't believe it is supposed to work on other apps.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
Yes, the option is for my app, not for others.

Wondering how much of battery improvement is everyone seeing?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fracman:
Just donated for the Updater app. Awesome work!!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] qwer777:
I tried the maps profile, and I like it, except for lowering the resolution (made the top and bottom bar of the navigation UI combined take up near half the screen). I even added a change to set location to high accuracy(so I can leave it in battery saver otherwise) and to turn off wifi since it won't do anything for me on the road.

Unrelated question, but is there any way to undervolt the clock steps in the kernel? Or is that something that requires editing the ramdisk?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] km8j:
There is no way you are getting 8 hours of SOT on a Pixel.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] qwer777:
It could be done, if they are going from 100-0 at minimum brightness, just watching a mostly black movie in battery saver and not anything else. Basically if they REALLY try to push it!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Taebom:
Almost 7 hours SOT at 20℅ left so 8 is possible

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] mnavijalic:
Dear,

today I received a new Xiaomi Mi5s (3/64 GB) but the phone will not turn on. I have tried everything, holding the power button for a long time, holding it in combination with Vol+ and Vol- buttons, connecting it to a laptop, charging it for a few hours but the phone will not boot.

It only blinks the red LED above the screen and that also stops after a few minutes of charging.

Could you please help me how to resolve this problem? Is it possible to resolve it without sending the phone back?

Thank you in advance!
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] KopiJahe:
The battery maybe depleted? Because when my Mi4s battery reached 0%, it does the same thing (on red led blinks whenever I tried to turn it on).

Try charging for like a hour, and then try to turn it on again.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] ermacwins:
Where did you buy it from?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] patoberli:
Try a different charger/cable and turn it on while it's connected to power.

If that doesn't help, contact your seller, maybe they fuc*** up the flash to an international rom..
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] mnavijalic:
Thank you all for the input but nothing helped. I charged it with the original charger, with a laptop and with a different charger, for an hour, overnight and more than 12 hours. Nothing worked.

I bought it from TopOne on AliExpress.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] patoberli:
In that case immediately contact them via the aliexpress website and ask for warranty.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] mnavijalic:
I have been in contact with them and sent them an unpacking video and the video of the problem and this is their response:

"Dear Marko,

We got the problem about your phone.

Please hold 2-5 days. After we working out the multi-language rom, we will teach you flash it.

It may sove this problem.

Please trust us, we will keep contacting with you.

Have a nice day.

Best Regards"

Do you think I should trust them or open a dispute? I heard from multiple sources that TopOne is a trustworthy seller.

Do you think that this problem could be solved by flashing? I tried to boot it in recovery mode and also connecting it to a PC, but the PC did not react, it did not recognize anything being connected.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] patoberli:
Check aliexpress site first, regarding their dispute rules. How long, after receiving the article, can you open a dispute?

But yeah, I would trust them, although it looks bad (if it's not turning on, doing nothing at all, you can't flash it normally) for your phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] mnavijalic:
Thank you for the help. I'm going to try to flash the Fastboot via the Deep flash cable according to these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/mi-5s/how-to/how-to-flash-hard-bricked-mi-5s-mi-5s-t3490252

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] mnavijalic:
Do you mean that I should try to connect it just with normal USB cable? Or should I create a deep flash cable first?

Also, after I flash the Fastboot, what are the next steps, flashing the recovery and ROM? Could you please also send me a link to instructions what to do after Fastboot flashing?

Thank you in advance!
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] Klanac89:
Boze... Just use the official tool and this will download the firmware and flash, if u just see a red LED. It's super easy and you get official anything.

Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A3003 mit Tapatalk
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] mnavijalic:
I tried to create a deep flash cable from the original USB cable but didn't succeed. There were 4 wires: white, green and 2 red wires. There was no black wire. There is also a possibility I haven't connected them properly. Should I maybe try to buy a new cable and try again or?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] mnavijalic:
UPDATE: I have bought a new cable and tried again. This cable had white, green, red and black wires. No success again.

When I connect the phone to the PC, the red LED starts blinking but nothing happens. This happens in both cases, when the black and green wires are connected and when they are not connected, so I assume that this makes no difference. Am I doing something wrong?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] KopiJahe:
Check your device manager

Windows+R -> devmgmt.msc

Under the COM & LPT Ports section, is there any Qualcomm 9008? If yes, then you are good to go flashing your phone with MiFlash.

Red LED blinking with no display, AFAIK, only means three things:

1. No battery juice left

2. Phone is in emergency download (EDL) mode (port 9008)

3. Phone is in diagnostic mode (Port 900E)

You can only flash the phone on port 9008, not 900E.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] mnavijalic:
Yes, I have checked the Device manager and nothing shows up. The computer does not react at all when I connect the phone. There is no port 9008 or 900E. I also installed MiFlash Tool and refreshed it when I connect it, but it doesn't recognize the phone being connected.

Red LED is blinking as soon as I connect it. The battery cannot be without juice, because I have tried multiple times to charge it for a few hours. The red LED was also blinking then (but not for long, maybe for a minute or so). Also, when I took it off the charger, both the charger and the phone were pretty warm.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] patoberli:
Actually the wire colors do not need to match the video, I'm not sure if there's even a standard for the wire colors on USB. It's well possible that you have the wrong wires connected :(
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] mnavijalic:
Really? Because everywhere I checked it said the following:

1. Black - GND

2. Red - Power (+5V)

3. Green - Data +

4. White - Data -

If this is not 100% correct, I'm going to try to connect the other 2 wires today (possibly black and white). The goal is to connect the Data+ and GND wires if I'm correct?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] patoberli:
Do you have a Multimeter? With that you can check the pins and cables and discover which is which.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] mnavijalic:
Yes, I have it and plan to do so today after work. I will report here if I succeed or give up.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ZVNexus:
Wrong thread for this device, I know, but does anyone here know if the root method for this phone will work on the LG V10? I mean it took months to get root on LP, and for the few of us who updated to MM, now we have no root now. Its been MONTHs since MM came out and no root. (Funny story, so I needed to get phone turned in because headphone port can only hear out of one ear, without applying immense pressure, so I needed to unroot and update to latest firmware to turn it in for insurance. Only way to see how much it was going to cost was to actually take it to a store. Went there, was told it would cost 300 dollars. 300???!? Nope. So now I am stuck on MM 6.0 with **** LG stock skin. *cries silently*)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Nooget37:
There is not a root method for the V20 yet. The only thing we have is an unlocked bootloader on the T-Mobile variant.

Edit: Let me rephrase that, there is not a root method that is widely available for every device as of yet. The T-Mobile version has root but it most-likely will not work with your device.

Thats one of my holdups for going with the V20. ATT is the worst on updates and I will not buy one that cant be rooted and have SU permissions.

Hi. First of all I want to excuse me that I' m asking a common thing several times threated in other posts.

I'm working now 2 days on getting another rom on my lemax 2.

I have installed the driver for the phone on my windows 7. system manager shows a propper installation. ADB driver's have been installed. The phone is in developper mode and oem and usb debugging is turned on. I switched to MTP and to PTP to make my device visible for ADB. But when I'm trying to see if my computer shows the mobile phone in CMD with the following command "adb devices" there will never be something listed! I tried already a lot... Uninstalling drvers for ADB, tried different drivers... And so on... Does anybody have an idea to help me??
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Sörnäinen:

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] MOB*:

DeScheep
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Sörnäinen:
Linux definitely is the better choice.

The fastboot drivers are different from the ADB drivers, and in Windows 10 you might have to switch the driver after fastbooting the phone.

It's really really silly and took me hours to find out.

You can change them in device manager, find the USB device there and update its driver. You don't need one from the web, just take the fastboot one from the list that Windows offers.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] schnoon:
I have no second android phone to test. But I tried already on OS Win 7 & 10 with different drivers on Win 7 as well. On win 10 the driver was already given by Windows, no need to install. I think that the problem has something to do with the phone, but I can't find the problem. It must be something with authorisation, that Win Os will recognize the Leeco correctly to have access.

Hi all,

After reinstalling Windows7 32-bit on my laptop, I ran into the same issue as you guys here. What I did was to install pdanet and the adb interface worked. However, I could not get into the QDLoader 9008 and also Diagnostic Driver was not working, simply the drivers could not get installed no matter what I tried. I searched quite a lot of time how to get make it work and looks like there was a zip "QDLoader HS-USB Driver". You can google it and it has 32-bit and 64-bit installations. I am not very sure if I had to install pdanet but that was the first step to make it work, at least to have adb.

I'm sure that you guys found the answer already, but I wanted to help others as well if they run into the same issue.

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] A.N.Droid:
if you're sure it's not a driver issue you can try the following (solved the problem for me):

on your windows machine navigate to "c:\users\<insert your user name here>\.android" and delete the file "adbkey".

either jump directly to the folder or turn on hidden/os files in explorer and navigate there.

now plug in your phone, the rsa-key dialog should pop up.

if not, that wasn't your problem.

btw. i'm using "universal adb installer".

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
I think the only thing I haven't merged yet is controls for headphone volume boost. Other standard things are already there. Due to the unfortunate fact that we still don't have a custom recovery I haven't touched the ramdisk, so you're just flashing the actual Kernel binary (plus the device tree files that are bundled to it) through the bootloader. It's really straight forward though.

I wouldn't expect any magical battery improvements yet. Although I've made some custom patches to reduce needlessly cpu idle wakeups (don't confuse this with wakelocks, totally different things), and reducing the load average, I doubt there will be any magical enhancements. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if you get 5-10% better screen on time.

Also merged some upstream patches which gave me roughly 5-10% better Geekbench results on both single and multi threaded tests due to lower lock contention & reduced overhead.

Made sure ZRAM was properly set up too, which didn't seem to be the case by looking through the entire Google's device tree.

There's other things on my patches, but nothing groundbreaking.

Everything is in my github too. You know my approach, no bull****, so don't ask me for merge/add retarded crap.

There is also a free version. The overlay provides a host of data points, including CPU, network, memory, etc. More and more, though, the apps that can overlay causes problems when trying to grant permissions, forcing one to disable those apps temporarily so that permissions can be granted.
