[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commoderbg:
Im using 6.0 Marshmallow, which kernel should i choose?Who is the best ? And how can i install it on my phone?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sotiris02:
Hello,

As i understood you don't have Root access,let me tell you some things.

First,If you proceed rooting your mobile,you may be unable to boot your phone.

Second,you should be really careful with what you do.

If you want to proceed,Go to Settings→About Phone and tell me Device Model and what V(Version)of Marshmallow you are.

Greetings.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commoderbg:
First of all thanks! My model is D855 V30N I will flash V30b version to let me root and twrp and then will install V30n again with new kernel.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sotiris02:
If you reinstall V30n you aren't going to have root access.

Why not going to a custom ROM?

There is a big variety.

Fulmics it use's LG UX5 (LG G5 software) and with Xceed kernel or Gabriel the phone will have a great performance.

Cyanogenmod aka Lineage OS(The one that I'm using right now)

Great performance,stock android experience and with Gamma kernel you are going to have +more performance and battery life.

But if you don't want to install any ROM then you can flash the pre-rooted V30N and flash Xceed or Gabriel kernel.

P.S:Would you like me to provide you a guide on how to Downgrade your device?

Greetings.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] madhurajkumar:
I wanted to try brand new Nougat ROMs. So, I flashed twrp using Mi4i Toolkit and took backup of my MIUI8.

I tried many ROMs and decided to return to my MIUI8 nandroid backup.

But when I tried to restore the nandroid backup, It went successful but after restoring, Phone started rebooting in each 4-5 minutes. Searched and found that many people were facing this issue and they stayed on custom ROMs just because of this issue. So. I thought to create a new thread so this major problem can be easily solved.

How I got it fixed that,

REBOOT ISSUE​

Download Full stock MIUI ROM pack here : http://en.miui.com/download-263.html

1. Boot into TWRP

2. Wipe Dalvik/ART, Cache, Data (Internal Storage not required to wipe)

3. Flash ROM zip.

4. If It gets failed, No need to worry.

5. Go to advanced options in TWRP and select "Fix Contexts".

6. Try flashing Again.

7. It is successful now. Boot device and Perform a full reset ( again deleting Internal storage is not needed.)

8. Here you go, No reboots now, You get brand new performance of MIUI ROM flawlessly

Hit thanks if it works for you or ask me in replies.

Fastboot Not Detecting​

It has been noticed even after installing Minimal ADB and Fastboot drivers properly and performing all adb commands flawlessly, some computers can't detect devices in fastboot mode. Here's the solution.

1. Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot here : https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

2. Install and extract in a folder

3. Open command prompt in the folder.

4. connect your device in fastboot mode. (By holding power and vol- key, you can enter in fastboot mode)

5. Type

fastboot devices

and press enter

6. If it detects , then you've no problem.

7. If it doesn't detect go to device manager on your PC ( Press Windows+X, M on win10)

8.It might be detecting your device with some name, look for it.

9. Once you find, choose to uninstall its driver

10. Now click on action in menu bar and "Scan for hardware changes"

11. It now detects your device. If It doesn't, Uninstall and Install ADB drivers again and repeat above steps.

12.

fastboot devices

now should be showing your device.

MI4i Stock Recovery​

Found stock recovery on MIUI forum for MI4i but there's a problem with that. It shows option to wipe External SD (which isn't supported for MI4i), So I doubt this could be pulled from the same MI4i.

So, I backed up Genuine MI4i Stock Recovery from my MI4i with flashify.

Steps:

1. Boot into fastboot mode.

2. Connect with PC and open command prompt in the same folder of fastboot and ADB

3. Put this file https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B98eukQ9ePc-NnljcmxjWWJvUHc in same folder

4. Type

fastboot flash recovery mi4istockrecovery

press enter

5. Cheers! You're now on stock recovery.

6. Boot into recovery mode to verify.

Hit thanks if helped :o :o
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] sharan.nyn:

There is no led, only access to fastboot mode but when i tried to flash stock rom via miflash the whole completed in just 2 sec and phone doesn't boot up completely and stuck again
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] madhurajkumar:
If you can boot into fastboot mode,

Flash twrp from your pc using Minimal adb and fastboot.

If you face issues and need help about this, Ask me
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] aa_vi:
i flashed a fastboot mode rom through cmd everything goes perfect there is no issue in the whole process but after reboot it does not reboot only show mi logo and turn off then the display of device fluctuate again and again i never experience this issue

suggest something
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] madhurajkumar:
Which ROM?

This issue is called Bootloop.

1.Flash twrp through cmd

2. Wipe everything ( except the internal storage, as it's not needed )

3. Try repeating the same.

If you again face the issue, try downloading flashable zip of the same ROM and try flashing via twrp.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] aa_vi:
Thanks! it worked but there is a little bit problem the internal. memory of device is reducing to 2.57 gb instead of 12.xx gb what the hell is this the partion of memory is reduced to this much
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] madhurajkumar:
Partition Issues there.

Boot into twrp

Go to wipe

Select System

Tap on "Repair or Change File System"

Confirm the action

Repeat the same for data and cache partitions ONE BY ONE ( you can select one partition once)

Now after formatting all the partitions,

Wipe all partitions

Flash the ROM zip through TWRP

Reboot
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] aa_vi:
when we select system it show a warning in that is says some roms and kernels didn't support this and at bottom some options are shown

EXT2

EXT3

EXT4

FAT

exFAT

F2FS

which option supports the process?

[Xiaomi Mi 4i] madhurajkumar:
I would suggest you to first install TWRP, then flash the stock ROM from TWRP and then flash mi4i stock recovery in fastboot mode. ( As I faced similar issue and got it solved this way. )
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] yumm91:
The easiest way to do this is by dowloading fastboot ROM for your miui version. Once you extract the files, there will be a recovery.img inside.

Then u can flash the recovery via fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to return the recovery to stock.

Done.

Mi4i twrp flash without data loss

Mi4i device stuck at mi logo (Came to know this is called Bootloop, Note that not flashed or installed anything on device automatically this issue happened) .As non technical person i need help from you guys to get my device alive. I need to save all my data in the mobile so Googled some topics and came to know that for this i have to flash TWRP in fastboot mode where we can able to save the data . Can anybody help me on this?

Really appreciate your support ....!!!!
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] madhurajkumar:
No need to worry.

Follow these steps.

1. a) Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot on your pc

b) download twrp for mi4ifrom here and keep it in the same folder. Rename downloaded file to twrp.img

2. Boot your mi4i in fastboot mode ( by long pressing power + Vol up buttons )

3. Connect your phone to your pc via USB cable

4. Open the folder where Minimal ADB... is installed, right click anywhere and open command window ( or open cmd anywhere and change directory to the specified folder )

5. type this code

fastboot devices

now your device's serial no should be listed there. If you device is not being detected, troubleshoot it by reading this section in this thread

6. type this command to boot into twrp

fastboot boot twrp.img

7. Now your phone will boot into twrp. MTP is supported here. Connect your phone with pc and you can copy all of the internal storage to pc.

Your data is saved!! ( Hit thanks if worked!)

Note that we've done this WITHOUT flashing twrp.

To get your phone back to normal

Try these steps.

1. In twrp, go to wipe and wipe cache/ dalvik cache ( nothing else )

2. reboot.

If above steps don't work, you might need to flash your stock ROM again. Download stable MIUI8 or MIUI9 ( of your choice ) from official MIUI site, you can find the link in first post of this thread itself.

1. Wipe cache, system, data, dalvik cache ( Not internal storage )

Note that your internal storage data won't be harmed, only your installed apps will be deleted. You can restore backuos of messaging apps like Whastapp and etc

2. Move your downloaded rom into internal storage using pc

/ You can install it directly using usb otg ( you'll first need to mount the storage using mount option)

3. Install it and reboot.

Ask if further help needed!!
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] nepya1009:
Mi4i twrp flash without data loss

Hi Madhuraj,

As i told you my device got stuck at Mi logo and i am not able to do/change anything in mobile however to install ADB and fastboot it says as below:

Prerequisites

Your device is plugged into your computer

You have USB Debugging enabled under Developer Options (Note: This may be listed as ADB Debugging on some ROM's)

You have installed the necessary drivers and your computer is recognizing your device
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] yumm91:
PC: Install your adb and mi 4i drivers. Connect your USB.

Mi 4i: Press power button + Vol- as per Madhuraj suggestion. Follow his guide.

You dont need to activate usb debugging when in fastboot. It is special mode for flashing.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] nepya1009:
Mi4i twrp flash without data loss

Guys,

In ADB and Fastboot download link there are several versions which is the best and suitable for my device.

What is show the content showing over there?

Version 1.4.2 is ok?

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ----------

fastboot boot twrp.img is the right command because cmd showing no such file or directory
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] madhurajkumar:
Yes version 1.4.2 will do.

Yes, command is right. you need to copy downloaded .img file (twrp for ferrari) to the same folder and rename it to -> twrp.img

Mi4i twrp flash without data loss

Thanks for your support (Data retrieved).

After retrieving data from my mobile to PC. In Twrp mode i selected language as English after that i clicked wipe (Suddenly black screen like command window ran and completed some process) after this i have no idea what to click so clicked factory reset (Here the process happened exactly similar to wipe some commands ran on black screen and showed successful ) Then i clicked on boot to system which completed whole process and device gets back to the exactly the same like newly bought....

Thanks again ....!!!

Another query did i hit wrong button by clicking factory reset (As you said earlier that this will bring mobile back to normal like recent mode but mine got back to first stage (Like New buy).

From Mi account and google able to get some backup files like contacts, task upto 31st dec only. (Mobile was not conncted to wifi from 31stdec-25jan hence not synced).

Any ways to retrieve as recent mode?
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] yumm91:
When u hit that factory wipe, it deletes the cache and /data, where all your installed apps and settings removed. Thus back to factory setting, like new phones. By wiping if im not mistaken, twrp will format the partition. U might be able to clone block partition via dd command and pull via adb and TRY to recover but I guess the chance is nil, and u need to read a lot prior even considering that as there might be some chance where it can results with hardbrick, not things i would suggest to beginner.

U basically cant revert back the phone to previous state before bootloop, unless u know EXACTLY what u did wrong prior bootloop, and revert back the changes. Else, highly unlikely.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] nepya1009:
Mi4i twrp flash without data loss

As far as i remember i had not messed anything with mobile prior to Bootloop. (But knows that from last 3-4 days before bootloop that i forgot to wipe unnecessaary data from mobile and the memory remained that time is around 5-10 MB so many time got pop up to clean the storage but ignored sometimes it showed only 10kb remaining) And day before yesterday i switched off my mobile in the morning and connected to charging after 2-3 hours disconnected the charger and tried to switch on the device from that instant it stucked to Mi logo.

Also want to share in twrp mode when i clicked wipe menu from right side up corner it did not get into inner to select what things i need to wipe ( Like madhuraj mentioned cache,delvic,data and i saw same things in youtube also that it prompts to the screen where we have to select the options needs to wipe) ( In my case as soon as wipe clicked process started in black screen and prompted wipe completed successfully.

Thanks for Replying...!!!
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] madhurajkumar:
Since you have wiped data (Userdata) ( by choosing default wipe option in twrp ) ( to ensure this check if your factory settings are reset or all your apps are uninstalled or you're logged out of your google account ),

It's not possible to recover those files because you've wiped the /data partition.

( If you knew that the bootloop was possibly caused by lack of available space ( I still don't think that was the real cause), you should've mentioned that. I would simply suggest moving data out of internal storage and trying to reboot. )
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] nepya1009:
Mi4i twrp flash without data loss

Hi Again,

Yes all my downloaded apps are gone from the device also i got logged out of google account after wiping.

Seriously we can able to free some internal storage when mobile got stuck at bootloop?

Then that will be my biggest mistake because i am almost sure this is the root cause as when in twrp i conncted mobile to laptop is showed 0 disk free out of 12.3 GB

:(
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] madhurajkumar:
No. Normally, Full internal storage can't be a reason for bootloop because there is always some space available on /data partition. That's why you get internal storage of only 12 GB out of 16 GB because rest of space is taken by data and system partitions to keep your smartphone functioning.

I wrote that already but I suggested the possibility just to clear your doubt that the reason of bootloop was in no way likely to be the full space.

I've got my hands on a bootlooped (to recovery) MI 4i and I've followed your steps and got my device to boot back.

I've tried your steps count less times for almost a week but still I couldn't get it to boot. I could use some help if you are available.

OK google works. Even with screen off and unplugged

Root is built in

Gapps installed

Here is the link to download. Permission granted by invisiblek. Big thanks to him for the builds.Give him credit for everything. Thanks cz for finding info!

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] aholeinthewor1d:
Nice to know. Is the pixel actually a supported device?

Where are these builds posted?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tcarave:
Not sure if they're still CAF based. I'd I.agine so since it's still basically cm. I haven't found any topics on em per se just builds. Invisiblek is where to look. There's builds for the marlin
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
Didn't realize it was out yet.

Was just about to reflash my DU but will download & try out the Lineage just to see what it looks like.

Consider me your first "thanks" for bringing this to our attention. :up:

Edit. It's booting up right now.

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

I'm not getting far on the 1/14/2017 build of 14.1.

It boots up.

Gives this error which I've seen before and aren't worried about:

"There's an internal problem with your devices"

Then it quickly picks up and connects to my WiFi.

Then quickly enables my Data.

But then drops me into this screen:

"On your other device, open the Google app".

"1) Say Ok Google, set up my device"

"2) Touch Pixel XL on the list, and follow the on-screen instructions"

And I can't get past this.

I think it wants me to restore stuff from my other phone but I can't figure out how to get past this section.

So I can't get to Settings or desktop or anything else.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tcarave:
Lol well "thanks" sir. No problem.Ya wasn't sure if there usable or not yet . I have the 1/14 build downloaded was gonna pull the trigger to see what happens. Perhaps I try 13 build

Where are these builds located? Lineage isn't doing official builds yet.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tcarave:
I was able to get the 13 build running. i am trying the same on the 14 build to see if itll work on that one as well
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tcarave:
Got the 14 build up and running. Seems pretty snappy. Gonna play around a bit to see how it is overall.

Seems to be running well. Currently restoring apps. Has cm camera and apps loaded but can get all google apps back including pixel launcher.Pretty well polished as far as i can tell
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] noidea24:
[MENTION=4274380]CZ Eddie[/MENTION], the "internal problem with your device" is due to an out of date vendor IMG usually. You can reflash the latest vendor.img from the factory IMG to get rid of this message.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
Yeah, I knew it was something like that.

But it wanted Q instead of V.

And flashing that didn't resolve my issue where it's stuck at trying to restore from some other device (or whatever that prompt is).

I tried flashing the Q bootloader too and still got stuck.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tcarave:
You can get it running. I have it running right now.Very smooth
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
Did you flash TWRP immediately after flashing the ROM?

I did.

Trying something else now and noticed that I somehow now have CM Recovery.

I stared at it for a minute wondering how Clockwork Recovery got installed on my phone till I realized what it actually was. :silly:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tcarave:
Yea I installed TWRP after ROM. Did flashing u vendor IMG get rid of internal error for you? I tried v and still got error but everything seems to be working well
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tcarave:
On initial boot don't set wifi. By pass it to get around restore. Wifi will pop up again at end
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
Hah, yeah skipping WiFi setup got me past that restore from other device thing.

I'm logged in now and checking it out.

There are several custom options hidden throughout the menus. Not all packed into one section like AOSP ROM's.

I can't find an option to remove the brightness slider though, I really like that option and would miss it.
