[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] glogal:
for the unlock procedure start from here: http://en.miui.com/unlock/

...with a working MIUI account (on your phone) you make the request, and the waiting time will be from 1 day to xyz days.

Two advices: 1) in the "why you want to unlock" put the real reason and do not do a copy&paste because refusal from xiaomi is -in such cases- possible; 2) set up your 64bit computer with the proper drivers (windoze is a b####).

Note: Sometimes the sms will not arrive (carrier problems), so check the unlock software to see if you are good to go.

For the flashing guides and roms here: http://en.miui.com/download-299.html

And here is the english forum of the miui: http://en.miui.com/forum-92-1.html

So, while you are waiting for the approval, do a search here on xda and there on miui for the best practice to do what you need.

Can't root my Mi5

Did you manage to root your phone?

I have the exact same situation, where I managed to unlock my phone by I still don't have root. There is security app does not have the "root access" option in the "permissions" menu :(

I tried flashing the the latest miui global dev rom as explained here en.miui.com/thread-267361-1-1.html, but I get a "Can't verify update! You're allowed to flash the newest develop version published by miui from stable version only" message.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] xxmcvapourxx:
Hi,

i need to get this phone rooted please, no root apps works, [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] maybe can help?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] xxmcvapourxx:
Any one be able to help if this can be rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Here we go. This is for S320VLUDU2API3 firmware, but probably works on any revision 2 firmware.

KNOX should remain 0x0

Instructions

1. Enable OEM UNLOCK

In Settings>About>Software info tap the build number 7 times to enable developer options. Once you've enabled developer options, developer options will appear in settings just above the About device option. Open developer options, the 4th or 5th option should be “OEM Unlock”. Turn on.

2. Flash the eng boot image.

This is a special boot image normally used by engineers, it allows selinux to be booted in permissive mode with relaxed root restrictions.

Do not replace this image with the stock image after rooting your device or you will possibly soft brick your device.

(See below for how to recover)

ENG_BOOT_S320VL_API3

3. Install boot image:

Download Odin v3.11.1

Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)

Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin

Add the ENG_BOOT_S320VL_API3.tar to AP / PDA

Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked

Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes

Reboot

Check in Settings>About>Software, your device should be in Selinux permissive mode.

4. Install and run Kingroot:

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461

Make sure you have an internet connection.

You may need to run Kingroot several times to gain successful root.

5. Install and run SuperSU me to remove Kingroot and convert to SuperSU (not required) :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ore&pcampaignid=APPU_1_uzPDVbGyFcGNyATHrqmoCA

6. Wifi fix:

modify the line below in /system/build.prop:

ro.securestorage.support=true to false

Recovering from a soft brick:

Flash the stock firmware provided below wirh ODIN

https://firmwarefile.com/samsung-sm-s320vl

Good luck I hope it works for you.

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Unfortunately you can't install custom recovery on this device. This device has a locked bootloader.

.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Is there an update on this, did anyone achieve root?

.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] xxmcvapourxx:
Hi,

Just update :

used the bootimge via odin works fine.

Installed kingaroot via app root takes a few times.

Superme (legit) brought removes kingaroot and installs super su and binaries then reboots <---- here i lose root again i have to use kingaroot sometimes it auto reboots it self.

My friend also has the same phone do you have skype or telegram so we can chat private
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Does it reboot itself as soon as SuperSU me installs supersu? That's probably the reason for root not sticking.

You could try the script below, I have confirmation it still works for the same procedure.

Steps 3 to 12.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/guide-how-to-root-tripping-knox-kitkat-t3129484

Obviously use updated apps and don't flash the boot partition.

You will also need to flash the system version of SuperSU not EverRoot.

When you get to step 12, don't flash the firmware.

Disable EverRoot and just flash this:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/v2-64-2-66-supersu-mode-t3286120

That should give you permanent root.

Sorry, but I don't use any of those apps you posted.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] xxmcvapourxx:
Yes as soon as super su me installs ask to install binaries ans ask to reboot it will lose root.

I will try the script without flashing firmware

Thank you ill let you know how i get on
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] xxmcvapourxx:
My friend done a tutorial what he did on the process when losing root he followed your first guide http://pastebin.com/raw/ZSZExWt6
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
It's not related to the bootloader, the bootloader is still locked, it's simply an incomplete installation of SuperSU. Probably due to permissions.

Follow the guide posted above and you should be good. I'd also suggest using root package disabler to disable knox.

Hit search in the app and type knox. Disable all knox related files.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.rootpackagedisablerfree

.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
So can anybody confirm where we're up to with this. Has root been achieved? Are we good to post this as a viable root solution?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] xxmcvapourxx:
Hi,

still not rooting perm -- Followed the exact tutorial you have gave us , me and my friend and we both lost root.

stock > odin > kingroot apk > supersu me > flashfire > supersu-sytemmode.2.79 rebooted lost root.

the only way we can do this is not to ever reboot....to keep root
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
So even when flashing root with Flashfire still losing root? Did you try using the script posted above?

Also could you post a screenshot of Root validator after losing root?

I would also suggest flashing the stock firmware with FLASHFIRE.

Ensure to Uncheck the boot partition and disable EverRoot.

Add the system supersu zip to the install.

It may be remnants of Kingroot causing the issue. Flashing this way will ensure a clean system with just supersu.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] stanfox:
Having the same problem

I can't even do the OEM unlock and wondering if Knox is stopping me from doing it. Kingroot gets to about 77% before giving up. Also tried "one click root" and "odin" and a couple of others. Tried to uninstall Knox with many different aps but noway will it let me. I bought this J3 in HongKong and it is full of crap and adds that pop up and cover the whole screen. I have had some negative affects on the phone with all the playing around I've done to the point where when I hold down the buttons (power volume etc) the phone just goes into its first normal boot screen and stays there. Hope I haven't hijacked the thread but thought I may have the same problem as the original thread poster
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Why can't you enable OEM unlock? Remove any pin/password from the device first.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] equitube:
I was surprised at first when you directed me to this thread ashyx, the first word I saw was Kingroot and I was sure a dev such as yourself wouldn't use that.

I write against Kingroot all the time. It is information stealing malware that doesn't even give true root, packs PUPs, and sends IMEI and other info to China upon install (check the logcat).

And it's nortoriously hard to get rid of and replace with a different SU. From what I read above, true root hasnt' been achieved yet. Ive used KR a few times in the past, but never again. It used to be easier to replace KingUser w SuperSU. Not so much anymore.

Please folks, Kingroot IS NOT actual root ; please quit posting about it in a true professional developer site.

Ahyx, PM me if you wish. I'd like to work on any methods other than this. I can get the bootloader unlocked from Net 10. But not until having it hooked up w/ lthem for a year. I've already chosen to disconnect this device anyhow because I can't stand using a non-rooted phone. Too bad, it's a good machine. I got a great buy on it. $50US brand new. Same store today $99. WalMart = $120

I just bought an LG G3 for $45. Verizon model, interesting root. I had to downgrade firmware to achieve root. It's TWRPd, and running Dirty Unicorns 10.6, a nice rom, better once I mod it.

Tried the latest RR rom for it. Nougat was cool, but too early, too many bugs.
[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
I've noticed that the size of the nightly builds for the new Lineage OS are a bit past 350MB, an amount that would take a rather large bite out of my monthly data pool. So my question here is, would it be better to download a nightly build or should I wait for an official build? Please do also take note that I'm still relatively new to the developer world and don't quite understand how the Nightly builds work.

[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] Dacoco:
Hi,

i have massive problems with mobile data on my Mi Max 128GB.

Even if i have LTE or HSDPA+ very often the internet connection is not responsive. When i do a speedtest i get 30-60 MBit, so speed and network isn't the problem. But when i then open a webpage, facebook or whatever there is no response sometimes. And when i look at the statusbar (where i turned on to show the currect data speed) i see something like 2-5 Kbit/s...

Baseband is A.2.1.c4-00013-1212_1915_a95f291 and i'm on 8.2.2.0 MIUI by xiaomi.eu (but this happens with other roms too).

Ideas anyone?

Thanks

This method here seemed pretty straightforward to upgrade to Nougat: https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/edl-emergency-dl-mode-twrp-unlock-t3553514

I was already unlocked so I figured I just need to flash the "Full" package then the "TWRP" package. TWRP is working, the bootloader still shows as unlocked in fastboot mode, but trying to boot just shows a Linux penguin and nothing else!

I just cleared everything in TWRP to see if that was somehow the issue then reboot, and TWRP says no OS installed! HOW?!

All this happened because I'm unclear on everything, and instead of a yes/no answer I get mocked. Someone please help.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tester2017:
Can you Boot in Fastboot?

When yes . load a Original Firmware update.zip and extract recovery.img from this . Do the recovery.img in Minimal adb and fastboot , open a command windows .

Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ,before this boot the phone in fastboot mode.

After the flash recovery ,boot the phone in the recovery with Volume down (tick them 1 or two times ) reboot ist with power.

Put a SD Card in the Phone with the update zip in root folder of the SD Card.

In recovery tick with Volume down to the Point update via SD Card and wait the Process ist finished.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cyrus D.:
I have access to fastboot mode. However I'm still confused as to what is going on.

At least I've figured out where it goes wrong, at the TWRP step. The "no OS detected" made no sense so I tried flashing using the same method but just the "Full" package first. It eventually does boot and it appears Android 7 is working.

The bootloader shows as unlocked. However when I install the TWRP package after, TWRP is restored but then the phone is bricked and TWRP says no OS detected. I'm not sure if this is because I clicked "allow modifications" and if so why that causes it to go wrong and what I missed. I tried flashing TWRP manually using fastboot mode in case something was wrong with that EDL package, and the result is the same, after installing TWRP and clicking allow modifications the OS is no longer detected.

What am I missing? I must have missed a step.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tester2017:
ok. go to twrp and format data to ext 4 then flash new and restart.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cyrus D.:
When go to "Format Data", enter yes to allow it, it fails and says:

"mkfs.f2fs -t 0 /dev/block/sda9 process ended with

ERROR: 255

Unable to wipe Data.

Unable to format to remove encryption

Upadting partition details...

Failed to mount '/data' (device or resource busy)

... done"

Even if that went through I'm unsure what you mean flash new? Flash a new what?

When I enter repair/change it says the file system is ext4 anyway.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cyrus D.:
Well I tried starting at that point again since I didn't allow modifications in TWRP this time, and it actually booted Android but then asks for a password... what?

So something about allowing modifications in TWRP seems to be the culprit, but then I'm unsure why it would ask for a password to start the device when it boots after, it's obviously encrypted.

Flashing back to the "Full" package yet again to restore it working.

Edit: I thought double posts would be auto-merged...

Edit 2: "Format Data" left my device encrypted and the only way around it was a factory reset!

Edit 3: I read over the instructions in the TWRP thread again and I think I've found what I missed. If I don't update this thread again by tomorrow that means I've figured it out and everything should be fine.

Thank you everyone who tried to help.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] romeoh:
Can you please give me instructions of what you did to upgrade to Nougat, I'm like you when started the upgrade on B29 Unlocked and rooted. I like the way of EDL process but It is a little vague and I don't want to brick my phone. Thanks in advance.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
Hi...I ran into your original issue and I believe it's related to dm-verify. For anyone that runs into this again, try flashing a dm-verify disabling zip and see if it'll boot again. This was the only way I could get the phone to boot after upgrading to nougat...not sure why this is an issue though as (I think) I had the stock bootstack in place along with stock System files.

Here is a link to the dm-verify disabling tool I used:

https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] lafester:
This is clearly posted in the TWRP thread.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cyrus D.:
Thanks, already read the TWRP thread and found what I was missing.

I used the EDL method in the end. Part of the reason I set that up to begin with was just in case in the future I brick something, I'll have the ability to recover from anything prepared.

The step I missed which resulted in a brick was installing SuperSU (since I wanted root anyway, or you can disable dm-verity as the other fellow posted here) after allowing TWRP to be able to do modifications. Then I ended up with more bricks because I used SuperSU 2.79-SR2 and SR3, I thought it was fine since SR2 is what I was using with Marshmallow, apparently not, you have to use a non-SR version of 2.79 with Nougat.

So in summary, from EDL mode I:

1 - Installed the "Full" EDL package.

2 - Installed the "TWRP" EDL package, or you can flash it from Fastboot mode which might be more convenient since you'll have to restart EDL mode after flashing the first package to get it working/ready to flash in EDL mode again.

3 - Gave TWRP permission to do modifications and immediately (without rebooting/starting which would result in a brick) installed SuperSU 2.79 (non-SR), then rebooted (this could take a few mins as it says and can bootloop a few times).

If you said no to permissions for SuperSU and it's not giving you the option again you can reflash SuperSU then reboot to bootloader then reboot to recovery, that should make it show the option again. And in case you're not aware, to make changes to system files and such permanent when you have root, you have to enter a command in TWRP's terminal emulator or ADB shell. I think it was "reboot disemmcwp", it may need "SU" in front if you're doing it through an ADB shell in Windows, I'm not sure. Not quotes of course. Search the forums to find out for sure, it had to be in a guide somewhere.

Edit: Just to be clear, for step 2, when I said "or you can flash it from Fastboot" I meant TWRP in general, not the TWRP EDL package.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] romeoh:
Many thanks body, As you said using EDL mode is great to unbrake your phone from any state plus it reminds me with Odin that's why I like this way it's very simple, but as you know this is not Samsung phone and it has so many complications. ???
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] romeoh:
Omg bro, To be honest I hate the software experience on that phone. It is the only thing that turning me off from it. I played a little with my brother's S7 edge the other day, and believe me the software experience is extraordinary. However I noticed that the S7 edge overheats a lot too without even using the daydream. In my opinion I think Axon 7 lacks in hardware wise a bigger battery and the support of the new RCS messaging feature, and in software wise a whole new developed system.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Brokestorms:
Hi y'all,

So recently I got my Mi5 here in China but here's a funny thing: I unlocked bootloader and flashed Global Stable from Chian Stable, and guess what? Now my GPS can't find me nomatter what I do. UNLESS I use VPN. Even Chinese app like Baidu Maps can't find me without using VPN to lock onto GPS signal. Strange, huh? Can anyone confirm same thing happening here in China?

It would seem that they intentionally change gps config file in the global rom to block all gps server addresses which can be visited from within China, and so forcing you to have VPN on to lock onto it.

Any help or feedback would be appreciated on this. And no, before you ask, I did not root yet. I may roll back to China Stable just to get my GPS back though.
