preloader version string?

Is the version string set properly for the preloader variable so that one can differentiate between the non-SPFT and SPFT-compatible versions via fastboot getvar? If so, which version(s) are SPFT-compatible and which not? Also, how do you read the version number? It's a bit confusing because this is the output I get:

version-preloader: 0.1.00
version: 0.5

So, which season is it? 0.1.00 season or 0.5 season?

Thank you! :p

I remember looking at that when the problem of blocked preloader first happened and they both show same as you have there.

I was able to tell them apart by there md5 hash.

brick/bootloop

I bricked my phone using the tool, I'm stuck in bootloop and need help.

I had v7.4.2.

I used the tool to successfully do steps 1-2-3-4, then 5: 1-2-4-5-7

then I tired 8. ROLL Back Preloader. it asked me to unlock and wipe (again?) so I answered no (on the phone)

since then I got stuck in bootloops (blu logo on white background).

I tried to convert to non-prime using spft, it looked as if it succeeded (green tick), but still same bootloop.

now only I can get to fastboot and see the device on fastboot devices.

I can't get to twrp or run the tool again.

I attach the log.

Please help.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
There was a note in the tool. It said you must select yes to the unlock, if doing the roll-back. The phone needs to be unlocked again because the preloader was changed. Proof it was successfull is sp flash tool worked.

I cannot be certain what your steps of using flashtool in between has done, but when you get into fastboot you need to issue three commands and it should bring you back

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot format userdata

fastboot format cache

if it still boot loops after that you will have to fastboot flash the stock recovery, and it will do factory reset and clear the boot loop

Hi Guys , sorry ... my english , is not good )). As I understand it , here is the instruction to downgrade version 7.4.2 to 6.6. If so, then after downgrade to version 6.6. Can I use this instruction to remove ads and stop updates :

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
No, this thread is for "preloader roll-back" not for rom version roll-back.

What is it you are trying to do. I know you want to stop ads and block OTA.

What version of firmware do you have on phone now?

If you only want to remove ads, you no longer need to root in order to do this.

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
backup before root?

If version below V6.6 then can use flashtool to make backup.

looking for good tutorial on google.

EDIT: removed link to outside site.

Summed up relevant steps here

Use version 5.17281.1.0 or higher

Turn off the phone completely

1.1.1 Change the entry in the “option.ini” found in the folder ~/sp_Flash_tool-5.1728

[Read Back]
ShowByScatter = true

1.1.2 Starting the SP FT with the included Scatterfile

1.1.3.1 Readback Tab

1.1.3.2 for each partition you want to backup add check mark and set file location and name.

1.1.3.3 Readback button

1.1.4 Connecting the USB cable with the phone and PC

1.1.5 Screenshot of the SF FT and all ROMx files in the root of the SP FT (location of saved files should be changed to same directory as your downloaded scatter file)

.

If later version flash tool is not available.

only best way is to backup with twrp after bootloader unlocked, before install superSU

Hi all,

I recently compiled CyanogenMod Recovery for my new Redmi 3S, A.K.A. land.

It is a no-frills recovery - it may not offer as many features as TWRP, but it's just enough for the simple poweruser.

For those who are wondering, this is the recovery that comes with CyanogenMod 13.0.

Download:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Frankie73:
I have my S7 (Exynos) for 1 week now and what bothers me most is the often laggy scrolling, especially in Chrome. On both phones I used before (Nexus 5 and ZUK Z1) Chrome worked great and I got really used to it. I did try a lot of other browsers (FF, Dolphin, Opera, CM, UC, Boat, and many more) but I always went back to Chrome.

So, not happy with the performance of Chrome on my S7 I tried to optimize via the flags. I tried a lot there like en-/disabling smooth scrolling, changing the settings for GPU rasterization, etc. But nothing seems to really help much. I heard that there was a option in older versions which allowed you to allocate more RAM to Chrome, but those flags are gone now:(

So I wonder, did anybody here manage to set up Chrome on a Exynos S7 for a smoother experience? And if so, what settings exactly did you change?

PS: I always use Chrome BETA if that matters.

BTW: Does Chrome perform better on the SD820 powered S7s? Just wondering....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] sstanton86:
Yeah I really want to know too!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] sharingan:
Bro i can assure yu that yu wont have any problem of yu switch to stable chrome

Chrome beta is good if yu are eager for small changes made early or if yu are a developer

I use chrome stable build and on exynos s7 and its awesome

I too dont like other browers they may open few pages fast but they also dont open few pages also and they are not that lightning fast also if yu use a good connection chrome is sufficient

So i would recommend yu to uninstall beta and install stable chrome and see the difference for yourself
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Frankie73:
Sorry man, I just tried both, Chrome and Chrome Beta, on androidpolice and the verge. Same settings on both and I can't see/feel any difference.

Since I disabled safe browsing and the prediction services it seems to be a bit less laggy now (or I'm just getting used to it?) but still nowhere as smooth as on the ZUK and especially on the N5. Seriously, my Nexus 5 was the smoothest experience ever.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Birdsfan:
I'm curious if anyone else is considering the new Xiaomi Mi Mix instead of the Pixel XL? I realize there will be less (minimal) dev support for the phone since it will be more of a limited run but it looks great and with Nova on top I'm wondering if MIUI would be that bad? Not running the latest Android version, assuming limited dev support, has only two of the LTE bands for AT&T I think but the uniqueness of the phone with some pretty stout internals is making me consider it. Still waiting to see a real review, Android Central I think has the phone, to see if it can be used as a DD here in the US.

Just wondering what you guys think of the move?:confused:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fracman:
Was gonna do.they same til my Pixel shipped. Couple worries I had. No lte for att in US. Poor dev support with the limited production. I had a mi 5 pro and it was awesome. But I like customizing more and that's why I sold it. Just my 2 cents.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] JasonJoel:
Blech. I don't get the Mi Mix at all...

I need some darn bezel so I'm not touching the screen while holding it. They can do all the errant touch detection they want, but it won't work as well as not touching the screen in the first place.

I also like more bottom bezel so I don't have to contort my thumb to touch the nav buttons when operating with one hand.

Although with. 6.4" screen one handed use is likely a fantasy anyway. That screen is way too big for a phone.

I truly hope all phones don't start going that route. Bad design.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Birdsfan:
I certainly understand where you're coming from but I will tell you after spending a couple of months with the Note 7 which really was bezeless (basically) on the sides I had no issues using it. The S7 however has been completely the opposite with accidental app launches all the time. I actually find it more comfortable to use a larger phone, I'm resigned to not going one handed anymore with my phone...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jpinks:
I was more WOWed with the Mi Note 2!!! The specs size all have my attention. They say there is a international version coming out this week. Is Xiaomi that big of a wildcard? The lack of Pixel XL being on sale direct and V20 (i am tied to ATT no choice) not having its bootloader unlocked yet, have me gun shy of any ATT direct phone after it took so long for my Note 4 to get updated. I like the XL wish they had kept it 5.7 as I love my old Note :) I will probably go with the XL but man that was the Xiaomi unit that caught me and several co workers attention, as a couple still are clutching there Note 7s like dying children.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Birdsfan:
I think the Mi Note2 is a great looking phone, obviously a lot of similarity between it and the deceased Note7. There is just a lot of "WOW" factor with the Mi Mix though there are some negatives and some unknowns like how is the sound on the phone?

[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] jawadawanisb:
Assalam o alikum and hello friends.

Jawad here. And in this Post I would like to share a simple trick with you guys,If you are Reading this then its means either your Mi devices is locked or you don’t know the Mi account installed on your device. Things you should know are what are ROOTING, CUSTOM RECOVERY, CUSTOM ROMS and how to do those. This post will be simple but not the procedure and unfortunately will be like this.

First of all let me tell you one thing and that will be If your Mi device is lock you can install CUSTOM roms, BUT its my personal experience that when I changed rom from MIUI rom to other custom rom I was missing My MIUI rom badly. Secondly this process will be long so be have some patience, And At last If you follow all the steps correctly then IN SHA ALLAH you will find your very own Mi account on your device.

1)If your Mi device is lock what should you do first, Things you should do is DOWNLOAD TWRP, LAZYFLASHER, CUSTOM ROM (which ever you like) SUPER USER.

2)Now Install TWRP recovery through Fastboot, For that you will find Many videos on youtube.

3)After that just for few minutes install custom rom. (Flash through TWRP) Look for HOW TO INSTALL CUSTOM ROM THROUGH TWRP for your specific device.

4)Root it (Flash SUPERUSER.ZIP through twrp amd flash lazyflasher too) and install DEVICE ID CHANGER and change your DEVICE ID. In whichever way you like, It can be of your own choice or it can be randomly.

5)After that Flash your desire MIUI rom and go through the process. And now you will find that your device is without any previous Mi account.

My device is Redmi 3s prime, brought it from China. when came back, I couldn't verify my Mi account so had to Flash custom rom Linage Os 14.1 didn't like that at all so shifted to the next and then to the next, And then by chance install Pixel Rom although couldn't root it but found that my device ID was changed so just to try if anything like that can ever work, I flashed MIUI 8 again and was surprised to found that there wasn't any Mi account at my device. So I created my New Mi account.

To confirm this very theory I had to root my device and had to Change device ID and then performed factory reset only and this did work. There wasn't any MIUI verification

I had the same problem

I also faced a similar issue, i.e. ghost touch when charging.

The screen-guard is certainly not the issue, as the problem occurs only when charging.

Try different charges to confirm that the problem is not charger specific.

I found on the internet that it was a software issue and can be fixed by visiting a service center.

I had tried factory resetting but it was of no use.

Since I had discovered the issue on the first day, I got it replaced from amazon.

You should try updating the software.

Download and flash the stock ROM.

Or try a custom ROM.

If nothing helps, un-root your phone and take it to a service center.
