[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] Mastiff:
Seems like I have a problem. The Telenor Nougat ROM doesn't have a loader, according to Flashtool. Neither do the two other ROMs I have downloaded so far, but I'm trying again with a third, which doesn't have the "customised" moniker. So I hope that has a loader. But how do I upgrade again to Nougat, with the Norwegian version, when the Telenor ROM doesn't have a loader?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] Arturiuz!:
if your phone is locked(Bootloader),fix it using Xperia Companion..that way it upgrades automatically to Nougat.

if not,lock it using Flashtool first.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] Mastiff:
Well, the message was kind of badly worded, because I need to downgrade first of all. So I'm at the moment trying to get it to MM without messing up the TA partition. So anyway, this thread has been followed by others, I think this can be considered solved since there is only one way to get root on these phones. :)
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] chukkyi:
What would be the best approach to rooting if you unlock your bootloader before learning about TA backup? I have since downgraded, done TA backup, upgraded, flashed TWRP, flashed SU/Magisk/phhSu, and saw two green checks in Magisk. Tried to continue to get the three checks by installing Sony framework v1 through Magisk and then Andros plus kernel, but got stuck on Sony screen on boot up. So I repeated steps and stopped after I got two checks, however after long use and simple phone restart, I lost root. Please HELP!

Device: Xiaomi Redmi 4A from Gearbest

The phone was shipped with a reported "fake global rom". I managed to flash the Global Rom (unofficial by Xiaomi EU). Here's how I did it.

1. Download XiaoMiFlash tool (https://mega.nz/#!aAhCmbSS!LvXzz7F1U5kG8v6oCbN_NiWFPvXahNON_FfclGnjFPE)

2. Download the Official China Stable Rom from Xiaomi (http://en.miui.com/a-234.html) choose Redmi 4A Latest China Stable Version Fastboot File Download

3. Extract the China Rom and change extracted .tar file's extension to .tz

3a. Extract the .tz file with 7zip

4. Open MiFlash tool, select the folder where you've just extracted the .tz file (named rolex_images_V8.1.2.0.MCCCNDI_20161125.0000.00_6.0_cn)

4a. Check the "clean all and lock" option in the lower right corner in MiFlash tool

5. Power off your device. Now press the 'power' button and 'volume up'

6. A screen appears with several options, choose 'Download'

7. Connect your phone to your PC and await (COM [xx]) to show in MiFlash tool

8. Click flash and wait for it to finish.

9. Reboot your phone and wait (this will take 5-10 minutes)

10. When you've installed the China Rom go to Mi Unlock Status

11. If it says 'Device is unlocked' you're good to go, if your device is locked this method wont work (see picture above)

12. Download the latest weekly rom or stable (your choice) from https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-12-22.36929/

13. Download Cofface's TWRP recovery for Redmi 4A: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862683408

14. Flash the recovery if you can - I couldn't so I ran (fastboot boot [filename].img)

15. Phone now boots into TWRP

16. Perform Nandroid and wipe (factory reset)

17. Install Xiaomi EU rom

18. Voila! You have the unoffical global rom by Xiaomi EU and fully functional Play Store.

[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] kriegster:
Nice job bud! I have a redmi 4 prime and it came with this fake global rom too, so i thinking on make the same thing u did. But i dont get why u flashed the china rom first and them flashed miui eu. Why not flash the miui eu only? 'Cause of unlock bootloader? Im pretty sure users can request the unlock code from their official xiaomi forum/site.

Greetings!

[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Palm Trees:
I'm not sure you can unlock your phone with the fake rom installed. There unlock device option isn't included. To be honest, I can't remember, as this was a gift for my sister and not a daily driver of mine. Should work on the 'Prime' too - BUT make sure you flash the correct TWRP for Redmi 4 Prime specifically.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Michi72:
My redmi 4A from gearbest already came with an unlocked bootloader. Bow working good with global from xiaomi.EU via twrp.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Michi72:
Additional note: the battery's endurance is really impressive! Lasting two days using as much as I can. Only mail twitter telegram internet sometimes it lasts four (4) days!! Pretty good for 3000 mAh. SD425 I only say. The performance is OK. No turbo, but definitely not slow!

Buy this phone, if you want to have as much phone as possible for your low budget. It's impressive!
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Allhunt:
Rom infested with bloatwares and malware.

Unnecessary apps that consume the few features of the device.

I'm sorry that a manufacturer of this size behaves this way. :(
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Michi72:
Those who have eyes to read: read!

You're on a shoprom. It's not the factory's one.

Read here on XDA about flashing xiaomi.eu ROM.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Ultimate Chicken:
Got a 4A with Global 8.2.1.0, currently quite annoyed that the unlock procedure that's plastered all over the place doesn't actually work, with the only answer being to "wait longer".

Its already been stated long ago in mi's official forums, that the unlock procedure works on a Gobal nondev, but I don't think the procedure has been tested outside of China and India. 15+ days since I got the permission to unlock (this was within an hour BTW), and the official unlocker still cannot verify the device. No answer to the bug report either.

Not to mention I've never been able to register with the Unlock Status app (10008: an error has occured, please consult API), and the mi finder site will locate my 4A, but pretend it isn't connected - so no go on a possible method 2.

Really don't know what I missed. It'll take a bit of time to flash any dev ROM and reinstall all the things; I had a 1S and it wasn't that difficult to get the bootloader unlocked.

Is there an unofficial way to get temporary root BTW?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Michi72:
I thought the same on my device. But afterwards it was not necessary at all. Gear...st already flashed their shoprom on my device, which said is was a global one, but not updatable via ota.

My next step was to check how they did it.

Did you already check bootloader status via fastboot OEM check? Maybe you can simply already flash twrp as described on xiaomi.eu site.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Ultimate Chicken:
Nah, my device wasn't from Gearbest. It's officially sold by Xiaomi in Singapore; they're working with Challenger; the ROM has play store and is only "contaminated" by an extra music app, an extra browser, and all the mi specific apps in 1 folder. <_<'

I did fastboot oem check whilst hoping I could get TWRP in long ago; no dice - device unlocked: false. Also, I do not seem to have the permission to run the "fastboot oem unlock" command.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Michi72:
OK, I only had the hope to help you. You can try to contact gearbest how they flash their shoprom... Just kidding :)

Please tell us, what the answer to your bug report was. Hope that would not last a year for xiaomi to answer ...

[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] santamanga:
Hi Mauro, yes, it is.

My 4A 2GB 32GB WORLD from gearbest came with Version: V8.1.6.0.MXDMIDI - STABLE world and a LOCKED bootloader.

I checked the bootloader status 1st with #fastboot oem device-info

Then opend a MI Account via the phone itself and asked for the unlock permission. Which was granted within 10 minutes. (Thanks!)

There is a restrictive waiting time of 72h after creating the MI account and unlocking the bl which the recent version of the unlock tool respects - but the older version (MiFlashUnlock_1.1.1111.1_en) thankfully ignores.

After that I followed above instructions (twrp did not install for me neither, I got a good scare when trying to boot into allegedly installed twrp but was greeted with the Chinese stock recovery - changing language is the right button, 2nd row from below - but that won´t help you, you have) to boot into twrp from fastload and then installed Xiaomi EU rom and root (from sdcard). All good!

Redmi 4A Latest China Stable Version Fastboot File

Hello, I have a new Redmi 4A that was shipped with a fake global ROM. I am unable to get bootloader unlock permission, due to fake ROM. I want to download the official fastboot file for 4A from the site given ( I can't post links yet) but it is not on the list, can you advise me please? Is it possible to use the one for the Redmi 4 instead? Thank you.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] dejoxy:
It turns out that I did not have a fake ROM after all, I just needed to have been a bit more patient. . I've applied for and been given permission to unlock my bootloader, just need to wait a few more hours before the unlock tool will work. I'm loving my phone so far, hope to be able to share any tips I come across in the future. Thank you.

Update: finally there is a new mi unlocker version that works for the 4A first time. Version 1.1.1111 which is downloaded direct from http://en.miui.com/unlock/ works (last used version ended with 1037). You don't even need to do anything else other than get the SMS permission confirmation, and have an existing mi account.

I don't have time to root this device right now (maybe weekend), but at least my bootloader is clear. Took them the better part of 2.5 months tho!
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] thatOneWeeaboo:
Sadly, the "wait longer" asnwer is true in most case. And yes, I'm neither in China nor India and it's working in Global Stable ROM. And device binding isn't necessary.

No, you can't get temporary root as far as I know.

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] swapnilVtiwari:
Hey there,

I'm having repeated restarts after installing Cyanogenmod 13 (Snapshot) on my honor 5x, let me put you through the steps I followed.

First I unlocked my bootloader using adb/fastboot.

then flashed custome recovery(TWRP)

rooted my phone using SuperSU from TWRP

placed CM 13 and open gApps zip files on SD card

rebooted in recovery mode(TWRP)

selected wipe and swipe

then click on install

selected CM 13 zip file from SD card

swipe to flash

after process completed

wipe Dalvik/cache

then click on install

selected gApps zip file

swipe to flash

and then reboot

then when the phone reboots my phone shows the default honor boot screen and then Cyanogenmod boot screen

and then the phone restarts with a vibration

and keeps on repeating the process untill I restore my TWRP backup

Also I tried only installing CM 13(No gApps-thought it might be interrupting the system) and reboot

and installing gApps and clearing cache/dalvik and then reboot

I tried it many times but still the same issue

Please help me
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Milupi:
I Think you should only Wipe Dalvik/Cache after you install both The Rom and the Gapps... Just install at the same time (The Rom and Gapps)

And Factory reset your System before you install the cynogen and gapps
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] swapnilVtiwari:
What do you mean by installing both at the same time, do you mean selecting both zip files at once?

Also I factory reset my phone before I install cyanogen mod from within twrp and had my phone factory reset before rooting.

Also I've tried to install cm and gapps one by one and wiping dalvik/cache after both of them.

Please help
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Milupi:
Yes selecting both zips at the same time
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] swapnilVtiwari:
Do I need to factory reset again and Will this revoke my root access.

I'm asking this because of a reason...let me tell you what I've done.

I factory reset my phone, and then made a nandroid backup using twrp, then I flashed superSU using twrp, installed root checker biscuit said root access is installed properly. Then installed cm 13 and gapps, when that didn't worked, I restored my nandroid backup that I made before rooting, and when I checked from root checker, it was saying the phone is not rooted.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] rodolphe06:
You made a nandroid backup before root so when you restore it is not rooted ( normal ).

What version of stock do you have before flashing cm13 ? If b360, you have bootloop, under b360 shall be no issue.

What i do to flash:

1/ wipe factory reset

2/ advance wipe cache,dalvik,system,data

3/ install ROM

4/ install gapps (arm64)

5/ wipe dalvik/cache

6/ reboot system

To have root, you need to flash supersu ( after gapps ) or alone after first setup of ROM and gapps.

But most of ROM have root built inside, just need to go to options for dev under settings and select app for root
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] swapnilVtiwari:
I did as you say, but still the same...it's restarting repeatedly.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Zakaria.R:
Have you thought of trying another rom ?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] swapnilVtiwari:
No, because I think there are no other final builds, and I just wanted to try cyanogen mod and waited for the snapshot build because I don't want to have trouble with my phone as this is my main phone.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Zakaria.R:
You do know that the other roms share the same sources as cm13 right ? And that a snapshot isn't that more stable than the other roms, it's pretty much a placebo effect,anyway your phone, your call.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] swapnilVtiwari:
R

Can you name any other custom Rom that is as good as cyanogen mod and has final stable builds.

And why do you say placebo effect, aren't snapshots the stable builds?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Zakaria.R:
There's the final build of RR or crdroid or any other you really should try yourself and see because like I said they all share the same sources

as for what I said about the snapshot, yeah it is stable and is supposed to be bug-free but what I mean is at this point every other rom is as much stable as that snapshot, try by yourself and see.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] swapnilVtiwari:
​

I checked both RR and cRdroid download page, they don't seem to have builds for honor 5x.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Zakaria.R:
They are in the development section of honor 5x, what are you using to check xda ?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] swapnilVtiwari:
My phone, I restored the nandroid backup I made using twrp.

Could you please share links for cRdroid and resurrection remix download page.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Zakaria.R:
I meant which app, but here you go http://xdaforums.com/honor-5x/development you can find any rom you like, it's the "roms and Kernels" section for honor 5x
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] swapnilVtiwari:
Not using any app, just my phone's browser.

And thank you so much for the links, but most of them links say they're unofficial, and as I said earlier I just can't afford to have trouble as this is the only phone I have.

I really appreciate your help, but I can't take risk as I'm not very much into android development.

Sorry if I bothered you.

I really appreciate your help...but I hope you could help me with my cm13 issue.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Zakaria.R:
Brother don't be afraid, what matters is the absence of bugs not the tags "official" or "unofficial" your are not gonna break your device (unless you are doing something stupid) and if you want an example to be assured just look at all the users in XDA, they are all rocking nightly builds on their phone, some of them use "betas" and some others use even "alphas" so don't let that Stop you, and if you have a nandroid backup what would you lose ? If you don't like it you get back to your stock rom, don't let your fear prevent you from the sweetness of custom roms.

Then offical Huawei update to B161 was there. I tried to update but got error message.

Then I tried to update manualy to B161 and several other firmwares like B329, B336 and during this I have done something wrong. Now I am trying since 4 days, to install any firmware that will work again.

I have done many things in this time. I don`t know anymore which status is present on my phone.

I can start fastboot rescue modus and I can run Meticulus Recovery and Revolution Recovery. But I can`t flash any firmware there. Always get message that something failed. DLoad Modus I can reach, but any firmware I put in dload on my external sdcard didn`t work. After 5% I get message that it failed to update. I don`t know what I can do anymore.
