I updated to that version but I was disappointed with no VoLTE and there's no nougat features in it, new LineageOS builds are great in comparison.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Rhine Septimus:
Hey guys I want to know what to do when coming back to Lineage OS based Roms from Xiaomi.EU or miui based nougat roms. Can I wipe system in that case? I know I can't wipe system while flashing miui based nougat roms. But what to do when I have to flash Lineage OS based Roms as they require full wipe in maximum cases?

Updated from Marshammlow to nougat via TWRP, I seen Nougat, byt when I tried to reboot the phone was completely dead, no led, no pc connection etc..

I HAVE NOT WIPED SYSTEM PARTITION, only cache/dalvik.

I flashed the phone EXACTLY as suggested by Xiaomi.eu (was a global rom):

How to update to Android 7.0 from Android 6.0:

- Install LATEST Android 6.0 release for MI5 6.11.10 (INSTALLED)

- Install TWRP 3.0.2.3 or ZCX (INSTALLED 3.0.2.3)

- Reboot to new TWRP (CORRECTLY REBOOTED)

- Install Android 7.0 release (INSTALLED, BUT GOT 2 RED MESSAGES)

- Reboot - Never wipe /system partition manually! (REBOOTED SUCCESFULLY AND SEEN NOUGAT)

- Done (BUT WHEN REBOOTED THE PHONE IS DEAD, BATTERY WAS TO 85%)

It's the second time that my Mi5 gone totally dead (first time was completely discarged, and revived after a lot of attempt), but with this I'm really disappointed. :(
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] robbie2k:
The solution!!

Hi to all,

last time, when mi Mi5 was dead because completely discharged, I was searching for the internet and was found a tip that was the perfect solution, a key combination to try the last chance to revive the device, but this time I was not finding again this procedure, but I was thinking obsessionally in it, and finally I was remembering it.

AND THE PHONE IS MAGICALLY REVIVED AGAIN!!! :D:laugh::victory::fingers-crossed:

I left the phone in charge with a good charger (original or a quickcharge 2.0+ unit) with the original device cable, after a couple of minutes, I pushed TOGHETER: VOL+ VOL- and POWER BUTTON, FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS, after about 30 seconds the MI logo was appearing and my smile was the bigger of the world.

Hoping that this simple solution can help anyone more, and want share it again with the community, because when I was googling last night I wasn't able to find it again.

P.s. in my case my phone battery was having a good charge yet (about 75%), so if your phone battery was completely discharged I suggest to raise the "couple of minutes" to AT LEAST 10 or 15 minutes.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] romy4444:
Sharing my experience

Got my mi5 hard bricked after updating to nougat xiaomi.eu rom, but yes I wiped manually my system partition first...

Used the method opening the phone, disconnected the battery, at first I couldn't make computer recognize the phone, then I tried a smaller coper wire, you have to be precise. Than bingo, after it recognizes you can remove the coper wire from the testing points.

I also installed qualcom drivers before.

(I also got some connecting and disconnecting issues, if you have that, use USBDEVIEW software and uninstall any other android drivers first, make sure you have only the drivers you need, after that it recognized and kept on)

I have used miflash beta, first I was having the com port error, didnt know what to do. Than I realized that I was using normal china dev rom, and it is very important to have the FASTBOOT china dev ROM. I didnt know the difference, but it only worked when I finally used the correct rom.

You can find the link to that rom in some past posts of this same thread.

My phone is back!!

Good luck!!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] hadesofspades:
Robbie2k you absolute legend. My phone "Bricked" itself after numerous power-downs and reboots from TWRP recovery. The first time I nearly RMA'd the phone because not even the battery LED would light up when charging. I thought the phone was dead.

The phone came to life 3 days later, the charging LED would turn red when trying to power up. The battery had drained by itself. I charged it and was back in Miui shortly.

Anyway I was hesitant to continue trying to install Lineage OS for fear of bricking the phone again. And it happened during one of many restarts inside TWRP.

However this time I found your VOL +, VOL - and Power button combo and BAM it works! In fact, it worked twice!

Anyone despairing that their new Mi5 is dead with symptoms such as: No powering up, nothing displayed on screen, no vibration, no charging LED, no recovery mode, no fastboot mode - try Robbie2k's tip!

VOL +, VOL -, Power all together for 30ish seconds!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] dubwise79:
hi all i have just flashed the china fastboot rom with the beta miflash but when i try to restart the device come back the blinking red light ... anyone help me '?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] :
I had the same problem with my MI5.

Then I plugged my phone into the PC and it recognized as a Qualcomm driver, flashed a fastboot rom from China, successful, but my phone won't start.

So I just waited for hours and then i tried pressing VOL+, VOL- and Power at the same time and it worked.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] reyfista11:
i i also had same issue with you,

i successfully flashed the chinese dev rom, but the phone won't start.

when you wait for hours, did you plug the phone to computer or just left it unplugged?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] :
It was totally random. I left it plugged in the computer for like one hour, then I unplugged and left it in the wall charger for two hours and nothing happened. Unplugged and tried the vol+vol+ and power method and it worked.

How long are you waiting?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] reyfista11:
after few hours,

i tried to to hold the power and red red start blinking.

i thought the battery is empty so i plug it to the wall charger.

the battery charging indicator showed up but it's not moving, just battery icon with thunder icon.

edit: mi icon appeared and changed the screen with green battery. the battery is at 32%

will try to boot it up.

ps: damn i chose the clean all when flash and i guess all my data is gone
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] :
Happy to know you managed to recover your phone =)

yess i had to lose all my data too, it sucks but better than losing my phone

Mine mi5 was dead for about a week, ive tried some methods even bought new battery but it didnt helped. now ive tried changing batteries pc/charger and trying volum + -, power combinations and on the thrid time it just worked. so tip: just dont let it go and try every method for few times. All in all, now im consirned if i should keep using new battery (its 10eur and i dont think its better but maybe with original it would not work) And if i should reinstall rom cause it can happen again? thank you!

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] yahya69:
No idea, however I also would like to know. My device runs the stock firmware with bootloader unlocked, and it happens daily. Each time, disconnecting the battery fixes it, but of course, this isn't feasible in the long run. I tried a different battery but to no avail.

Does anyone have any idea what might be the root cause?

Does re-locking the bootloader make any difference? Apart from that, it seems my device is completely stock, and still it is happening.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] xaametz:
It's a small condenser chip that eventually will die. It seems to be a usual failure in this model. My unit died long time ago.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] yahya69:
How did you find that out? I assume you weren't able to fix it either, were you?

Replacing parts on the motherboard isn't really an option for us. On youtube I found a video that shows the replacement of a condensator to fix a charging issue. But this looks really difficult, nothing for laymen like me.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] xaametz:
I sold it as replacement parts.

Search for PMI9884 chip, and check if it fits your case. I'd bet it does. Good luck.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] yahya69:
Not sure though. The description in the other thread is different, they write of " only faint glow of charging light after holding it on charge several hours.". My phone is, until I disconnect and reconnect the battery, completely dead, no faint glow. So I am not sure whether it is really the same cause
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] xaametz:
Mine was the same as yours. It depends on how damaged the IC is.

yes it work!

you can use it for 5.1.1, 6.0.1, 7.0, 7.1 rom's

it's a good tool but the porting process must be done manualy on pc or phone

test it and i think you will be satisfied for the option you can get in it

for the porting process are the tutorials!

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] vaserbanix:
did you get the bootanimation when you tryed to start the phone?

Color OS Galaxy J5
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] AndroidTutorials:
No :/ no animation
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] vaserbanix:
that mean your system wasnt writed.

so! install it again, before flash it do an advanced wipe: data, cache, dalvick-cache, system and then flash the rom.

if the rom boot and get bootanimation that mean the system was writed.

if not, reboot it in recovery and try to do a backup, here you will see if the system has some size(xxxMb).

if system is 0 or a very small size that mean it wasn't mounted on instaling process and do the next:

-restore your working rom

- do a wipe data factory reset(not advanced)

reinstall the rom and it should work.

if not again, then you should make a reviev of "updater-script" in Meta-inf folder and correct the mistakes

Color OS Galaxy J5
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] #Henkate:
If there is no bootanimation, it doesn't mean that the ROM wasn't flashed. This can happen even if the ROM was flashed.

For example, when I tried to build (compile) the kernel with other toolchain than the Google toolchain (AOSP toolchain), I was stuck at "Samsung Galaxy J5" logo (there wasn't bootanimation).

[MENTION=7883641]AndroidTutorials[/MENTION]

You can find many guides about how to make a ROM on XDA. I recommend SuperRs kitchen.

Also, when you encounter a bootloop or a problem, you must take a logcat in order to find what's the problem. Search also for "XDA how to take a logcat".

Good luck!

1. Are you using the correct TWRP recovery for the ROM version which you are trying to flash?

2. Try to unmount the partiition manually at "Mount" in TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] AndroidTutorials:
Ok I will try I could do with some testers?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] #Henkate:
Testers aren't needed for such small issue :D

Like I said, make sure that you are using the correct TWRP according to your ROM android version and also try to unmount /system manually in TWRP. You can also remove the unmount(/system) line in updater-script.

Are you using SuperRs Kitchen ? I highly recommend it. You wouldn't get such issue with it.

Boot Loop and hanging phone and black screen

I was using my phone when this blackscreen happened, i was shocked with what happened, using it while charging and my Data and wifi was on, then it suddenly black screened, then i watched a video how to solve it, then it says there that i should press power and volumce down button, then i didt it and luckily its OK, then the next day while charging my phone and left it on my room, the boot looping starts, it keep on restarting, only logo keep on showing, then Ive read something that says i have to factory reset my phone and i did that pressing volume up, home and power button, then i swipe and factory reset, but the boot looping keeps on going.

and ive watched a video using Odin 3, got the firmware here in sammobile with 4 files unzipped BL, AP, CP and CSC then this time it opened it was successful, then while using my phone for about many hours... my phone hangged, and reset then boot looping again.... i dont know now what to do..... what happened to my phone was frustrating..... pls guys help me pls huhuhuhuhu i love my phone so much....

Might be a damaged motherboard (emmc or whatever samsung uses) it happened to my friend with her LG. Something inside the chip was broken and it would boot loop. She took it to warranty repair service and like a week later she got her phone back fixed.

TLDR, One IMEI = BAD. Replacement phone on route. If your phone shows the same IMEI twice, get in touch with whoever you bought it from.

----------

Hi Everyone,

I've had all the OnePlus phones at some point, and today I got the 3T.

The X, 2, and 3 all had two IMEI numbers.

My 3T only has one.

All of them were purchased in the UK.

Is this normal? Do you have one IMEI number too? Will this create an issue if I use two SIMs on the same network?

My work and personal SIMs are both on O2.

Thanks
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] hachamacha:
If you're talking about that label on the back of the 3t as it was shipped, then mine (I'm in the US) had two IMEI numbers. I'd guess that a label with one is just a mistaken label.

The same call handler said they'd organise a replacement, and the new phone would have two IMEIs.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] joaoennes:
I have the same issue but with Oneplus 3, not 3t.

I guess I'll have to call O2... I didn't know this was an issue until I saw this thread.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] prmcmanus:
The O2 call handler initially told me that the IMEI should be the same, then later when they clarified it they said that they meant the 3, not the 3T.

So this person reckons that the 3 should have one IMEI, and the 3T should have two.

I work in a large phone repair centre, and every single OnePlus 3 I've seen has two IMEIs - which is about 8 units so far.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] passion8059:
My O2 oneplus 3 has same imei on both. Having to exchange as late paying bill and imei barred the phone.

Now with bar removed it is conflicting seriously not allowing it to make calls on network.

Think O2 have implemented this as they can keep track of device so if it was barred again they know where it is, if 2 different imei's the other would not block and could still use the device
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] prmcmanus:
My second phone was the same. I'm now waiting for my third :(
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] joaoennes:
It looks like it should definitely have 2 different numbers, according to research I did online. I'll check with O2 on Monday.
