[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrjorin:
so i just need to install MOAR 7.1 and change the settings in it?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
ive even had it to where MOAR wouldnt allow me access to the area where you edit the APN, all you need to do in those instances is dirty flash (reinstall the ROM without wiping anything) and reboot, then itll again allow you access to that menu and youre off to the races again. Ive been down your exact road several times my friend
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrjorin:
At the store the girl was able to edit the APN settings but I guess your telling me they didnt stick?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
yep. youre far better off that way. The stock ROM isnt too friendly with APN changes. Ive been using GSM on my G900P for about 10 mos now via several different MVNOs (cell service resellers like straight talk, boost, cricket, etc ect) and the stock ROMs just arent the best for this. Also, the best unlocking service out there that ive ran into is http://www.idoneapps.com/ They just know exactly what theyre doing, and have the moderators that provider the backup for their product that can guarantee that itll work. They rock.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrjorin:
Ok so i just install MOAR and go where on it to the APN settings?

Dang it I forgot how to install MOAR.

Its on my phone as a zip file do i extract it?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
system settings, cellular networks, more networks, access point names. Hit the plus button on the top right, add your stuff, hit the bottom left button hit save, hit back once, select the apn you added give it a few seconds, youre all set

NO!!!! dont extract it. Boot into recovery, select backup and restore, make a backup, select factory reset, select install, select your zip, let it install, boot. itll take like 10 min to boot the first time and itll get pretty hot

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spycake:
Like many, I've had some touchscreen issues on my LG G2, and they seem to clear up, at least temporarily, after running "Touch Firmware Upgrade" in the hidden service menu (dialing 3845#*800# on my AT&T model).

Is there a way to directly run that "Touch Firmware Upgrade" command, so I wouldn't have to go through the dialer, then navigate the service menu each time? I'd love to be able to trigger it through a shortcut, or even automate its execution. I'm rooted, still running KitKat 4.4.2, also running Xposed, for what it's worth. I'm fairly handy with apps like XPrivacy and Automate, but I really don't know what's going on behind that service menu. Thanks!

Hello;

I have just bought new Xperia Z5 , and i want to know if there is a root for the lastest build "376 i think" with out the need to unlock Boot Loader.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gewiz:
378 is latest

No, no root with locked bootloader
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belbol:
Thanks for reply.

What about older softwares?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gewiz:
Unfortunately also not.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belbol:
Thank you for the answer.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YasuHamed:
YES,

if you downgrade zperia x5 and flash pre rooted android 5.1.1 then it is possible

however pre rooted version were created by using prf creators which couldn't support android 6.x.x and later.

p/s I never tried pre rooted xperia stockrom

also if you don't want to use prerooted stockrom of android 5.1.

simply try rooting it with kingroot.

till android 5.1, kingroot were able to find xploit in the system
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belbol:
Thank you for your reply.

But the thing that i don't understand is , are the pre rooted firmwares , have the root in the sin files? or separated kernel?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YasuHamed:
for your reference

https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904

however this doesn't work on MM

so i never saw further development in this regards
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belbol:
Thank you.

But as i understanded , this create a rom as a zip file , so it will need recovery to be flashed.

And you can't install the recovery until your phone is rooted or unlocked bootloader.

So you can't root without unlocking the bootloader.

So do you mean that first i need to root my device with an old software , then update to pre rooted software via recovery?

If yes , then please let me know how to root old software and which version.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YasuHamed:
again now we have go back in times where xploits were available, during kitkat days everyone had rooted phones since android was not using dmvarity. you could root kitkat easily on locked bootloader and have XDR installed while running andoir 4.4.4 ( i did with my C6602) once you had XDR install (xperia dual recovery) you can reboot your mobile into recovery and can flash pre rooted LP.

now this is GOOD for old days and for information

for you xperia z5 never actually landed on kitkat and LP can be rooted via kingroot. so you will be only able to use rooted z5 on LP only~!

if you wana install prerooted rom without kingroot you will have to first root running LP via kingroot, install xdr and flash again LP (clean flashing)

so on looked bootloader you dn't have much options!

How to install recovery after kingroot then? Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AtzeOnAcid:
Hi there,

as the thread title suggests, my phone is linked to a non-existing Mi account.

As my (100% correct) password didnt work, the Xiaomi support told me to try and delete the Mi account, which was linked to the phone. Bad idea!

And now, as the shop shipped out the device with an unofficially unlocked bootloader, my bootloader has been relocked and I can only flash ROMs via fastboot. But this seems not to work in terms of deleting the MI account from the phone. No matter what ROM I flashed, there still is the login screen with the prompt to enter the password for the non-existing account.

I have tried many guides on how to remove the Mi account from the phone, but no luck this far.

Can anyone please provide a solution?

Thanks in advance!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Androbots:
Is this snapdragon n or mediatek

Used or new

Btw if u are using snapdragon then u can install custom rom sand recovery even with the bootloader locked search for that in the xda redmi note 3 section and also answer the questions I asked
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AtzeOnAcid:
Oops, sorry, forgot about the two different models for a minute.

I'm on Snapdragon (kenzo) and the phone was ordered as new (but with some inofficial store ROM).

I tried a lot of different ROMs and yes, I could flash them in spite of the locked bootloader,

but no luck still with the account login screen...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Dr. Joy Das:
After deleting MI account, flash any ROM stable/developer ROM without SIM card inserted in EDL mode and try again. That login to MI only comes in first boot if SIM card was inserted, without SIM card atleast I don't get that login screen. Then create MI ACCOUNT in mobile itself on Wi-Fi, not with SIM inserted. Hope this helps a bit
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Androbots:
Well then you can flash any AOSP ROM via TWRP (I recommend ZCX TWRP recovery).Go for lineage os or slim7 both are quite good Roms.

For the non existent account issue login through a computer and then try forgot password and other things see if u can succeed.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AtzeOnAcid:
Sorry, but due to the locked bootloader, I couldn't manage to flash TWRP so far. But after I had another look at the respective forums, I understand that there is a new possibility to flash recovery with a locked bootloader. I will try this tomorrow evening and report back.

Thanks so far!

About the use the computer suggestion: I have tried everything in this matter, believe me :(

Couldn't even make it work with the help of Xiaomi support...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AtzeOnAcid:
Thanks for your reply, but I have tried that to no luck. I don't understand how Xiaomi can check my account without a Wi-Fi or GSM connection, but they still manage anyhow...

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AtzeOnAcid:
Okay, I have tried to flash TWRP over the locked bootloader by replacing the recovery.img in the developer ROM.

The MiFlash process was successful,but when I tried to enter recovery by pressing power and volume up, I always ended up with the picture of an USB-cable and a PC. So it seems like there was no recovery installed.

So, I couldn't flash any other ROMs unfortunately...

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] licko:
Fixed using this

I had the same problem and took me 2 days to find a good solution and here it is... There is a software called RBSoft Mobile Tool (used v1.4 for RMN3). It's commercial but you can find it online if that's not a problem :)

adb shell

su

setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb

...and it will show you the port you have to use and just press Remove Mi account. It takes couple of seconds. Reboot, and whoila ;)

Good luck

Edit: This has to be done in EDL mode but it's noted in application. Phone has to be rooted, too
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] himanshux:
You please unlock bootloader by this thread https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-rn3-pro-se-t3565172

And then install recovery.

Let me know if it helps
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AtzeOnAcid:
Thanks for your help.

I have managed to open the bootloader, but no success yet with flashing TWRP - MiFlash shows a success, but when I try to enter recovery by the button combination, the phone does simply nothing (sometimes it will boot normally when I release the keys).

Rebooting to recovery via ADB doesn't work for the fact, that the phone is only recognized in fastboot mode. This may either come from the fact, that I can't get into the phone in order to activate USB debugging or from my driver chaos, since I have installed every Xiaomi driver in existance, I guess :rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AtzeOnAcid:
I'll try different versions of TWRP over the weekend and let you know how this works out...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] pumpkins12:
what is your current rom?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] himanshux:
Hey I think you are doing something wrong.

After following steps of unlocking bootloader, did you reboot in fastboot mode and then run following code in command prompt?

fastboot oem unlock-go

Try above code (this will be the final nail in the coffin for unlocking bootloader)

After this you follow below link to install recovery

https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/zcx-twrp-install-twrp-flash-supersu-t3462448

I installed recovery by this thread, excellent one, no hassles

Let me know if it helped you.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AtzeOnAcid:
Of course I was doing something wrong...;)

But no luck with the "fastboot oem unlock-go" either.

It shows that the oem unlock is not allowed...

Is there any kind of workaround for that?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] himanshux:
Alright, can you boot normally? If you can, enable OEM unlocking from developer option. May be, may be this is the reason blocking the process

Check and confirm
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] pumpkins12:
for OP.... if your device still locked, try following this steps :

- make sure your device use official miui

- backup your internal storage files

put your device into fastboot mode > onnect to computer and open cmd > type the commands :

1)fastboot devices > enter

2)fastboot -w > enter

3)fastboot erase config > enter

4)fastboot reboot > enter

now your device will boot normally like new device :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AtzeOnAcid:
No, I could not boot the phone.

I can't get behind the Mi account login screen, that's my problem...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] himanshux:
Now I think the last option is flashing the full fastboot rom.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AtzeOnAcid:
I unfortunately don't know which MIUI I'm on at the moment as I have almost tried any ROM there is for the kenzo :p

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] himanshux:
Why don't you use MiFlash until you get RB
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AtzeOnAcid:
For all I can see in the screenshots of this software, there is a special button to erase the Mi account, which is locking me out of the phone at the moment.

I have tried flashing at least a dozen ROMs with MiFlash (Dev, Global, Chinese, lineageOS and so on), but that darn account login screen just won't go away...:confused:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] naturist:
Have you tried MIUI 7 via fastboot? I had the same issue 6-7 months back when I was using MIUI 8 and instead of loggin off from findmydevice and remove my mi account, I reset via custom recovery and than flashed custom rom. I tried to move back to MIUI 8 after few months but the login screen was stuck as the device wasn't removed from Mi cloud when I was on MIUI 8.

What I did? flash back MIUI 7.3.x.x don't remember the exact version but every MIUI 7 rom should work and it'll let you bypass the Mi account screen.

Why? Reason: there is a flaw in MIUI 7 which can let you bypass the screen and than activate and setup your phone. This was fixed by Mi in MIUI 8. Try that. You can find old MIUI roms easily. Let me know if you're unable to find the links. I hope that helps.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] pumpkins12:
have you tried my previous post?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AtzeOnAcid:
Yes, I have. No luck with it either:(

My problem isn't a phone, that is not booting, the only thing which stands between me and a working phone is that Mi account login screen with a pre-filled account, which doesn't exist anymore.

Thanks, though!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AtzeOnAcid:
Got it...

licko suggestest a little tool (see respective post), which had it all at the push of a button;)

I am still stuck with some developer MIUI version, which is half chinese(as I couldn't manage to flash a working recovery yet), but at least the phone is working again:)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Mang TK:
Hi, I did what you have said like flash my Redmi 4a in EDL mode with Global Rom MIUI8 (Rolex) and after successful flashing I switched on the phone without SIM cards and no Wifi connection and complete setting up the phone and MI account login screen does not showed up.

My question is, if I use/opened up that MI account in the settings will it be a new account or would it ask for that old (before flashing) account password and moreover if I do upgrade what would happen?

"create MI ACCOUNT in mobile itself on Wi-Fi, not with SIM inserted. Hope this helps a bit", are you suggesting that we create Mi account on Wifi and after creating the account we can insert the SIM and that works fine?

Thanks in advance.
