[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andiii:
Hi,

i would really need some help here, i had received my Mido (Redmi Note 4X) last friday and instantly requested the unlock for mi MI acoount. I had received the SMS within Minutes and also received the Mail confirming within another 5 minutes. I have binded my device to my Mi account and have registered it in the option to unlock. Downloaded and installed the Mi Unlock Suite on my Win10 64Bit laptop und connected the Mido, booted to Fastboot with pressing Vol+ and Power at the same time. Logged in with the Mi account and after that i received the info that i have to wait for 72 hours. because the device has just been binded to the account.

-OK time to test out stock MIUI

-oh cool an OTA Update for stable V8.2.10.0 was shown

-so i had installed it (automatically) and all went fine.

After the 72h i still don't loke MIUI and would like to have Slimroms AOSP so i tried again to unlock with the unlock Tool but (since the Update?? i don't know) i cannot boot into fastboot to start the unlock process :-/

After pressing the same Keys like before there is now a different picture in the smartphones display showing a smartphone and a USB cable beeing beeing connected below that is written in letters pcsuite.mi.com ... it looks like here.

I can only turn the device off via the power button and start again. It boots into the MIUI System fine after that.

Can anybody please guide me please how to unlock my bootloader?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
HERRO! Mah Boi... You are doin it wrongly......

You've to use this combo for fastboot mode :p

Volume down + power key = Fastboot mode

But you're using Volume up + power key = PC mi suite
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andiii:
oh dear facepalm - sorry to bother - thanks for the quick response. I will try again later after work ;-D

i first thought the battery was too low - so thats why this picture came up . But i got little worried after it persists even with 100% ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] schlagg:
FYI it works like you said.

Just wait some days (72h after I started, like MiUnlock message says).

And yes, Xiaomi unlocking methods really sucks .....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:

You are Genius thanks a lot man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just add one more thing that using windows 10 might help as it did to me
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] JOAOFRS:
Older version dont work. Still binding time is too short. Any solution? This process is insane. Wait por 3 days to unlock, xiaomi sucks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
True that, wait for few days if old tool won't works.

Doesn't matter if you see any errors while binding account just ignore it.

You'll get it to work on 5th or 7th day.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] JOAOFRS:
Tks dude...

xiaomi need change this process...its unbelievable
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshbluezzz:
Idk about this issue but 3 days or more? I searched alternate methods too alot before applying but after applying then Lol i got my grant permission to unlock in 4 hrs bro:p

bootloader unlocked

I just bought a new redmi note 4 (qualcomm), and flash it with global rom (with fastboot method)

when i check my device, with adb command, it says "unlocked"

something weird in this ROM (which i've download from en.miui.com) is there are some bloatware (local app)

i don't understand, since i download the ROM from official website and flash it with fastboot methode
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] untoriksa:
I made it

nope, not because of it. Because i used windows 10 that driver signature enforcing made me confused (even when i already turn it off). Then i tried with windows 7 and that's worked but it stuck on 99%, wait for 12 days and it worked. :)

Finally unlocked RN4 SD

Hi guys,

Finally unlocked my RN4. I wasted time on the internet trying to look for many alternatives that can unlock the bootloader.

As I have realized, it's better to wait for a week at least before trying and getting disappointed. Also, remember you can ignore 80612 error when you try binding device to account on your phone. It's not mandatory. Just use Mi Unlock tool. No trick is required.

Just posting this to save your time and anxiousness :) Good luck
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] JOAOFRS:
bind the device and wait 3 days, worked for me.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshbluezzz:
Yeah i got the unlock permission message in 4 hrs. Thanx to mi team. No time wasted guys. Unlocked in a day my redmi note 3
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] AdvAith VijAy:
I have got the unlock permission from Mi last month. But when I tried to unlock my Redmi Note 4 its showing " Current account is not bound to this device". I tried to bind the account in developer options but its showing 86012 with some chinese text. Do I still need to wait 1 week to unlock as I got the unlock permission a month back
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] umeshbluezzz:
The permission is valid for 1 month only i guess

Hi all,

I made this manual in order to help people like myself to better understand ROM cooking basics.

It was ment to be used for Prophet ROMs, but since it uses HyperCore Kitchen, it can be practicaly used for any WM6 ROM.

Please be free to post your comments and/or suggestions.

NOTE: This manual reffers only to "old" way of ROM cooking (first downgrading to WM5, and then flashing to WM6)

If you find it useful, please vote.

Thanks to:

Gullum (for great ROMs)

Anichillus (for great Kitchen)

Cloudyfa (for Step1 ROM)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
No, thank you!! I will look into it.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] maxniper:
me too ;)

i like this
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] mcupurdija:
Thanks for your effort, this is a really good guide.

I just wanted to ask is there a difference between ROMs built this way and ROMs that we flash using new Hard/SoftSPL method.

I saw nb2nbf tool, so is it possible to just convert OS.nb file and flash it using new method or is there some more work that needs to be done?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Behzad Varedi:
thank you

I really need it !
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] whizz:
Ill check it out this weekend! Seems like fun to me :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
I have red this guide and it is very clear, very thourough and a big help to anyone starting to cook! THANKS!!

(@ allothers that are missing some extra's: it is NOT an advanced course! So, don't complain but take an example and publish your own knowledge and experience this way. Then everyone can benefit)

Initiatives like these are giving back the original gaoal of this website, it isn't called "xda-developers" for nothing.

Perhaps someone can make a tutorial for skinning standard OS-parts (commanager, dialer, calculator, etc...) Or how to translate your favorite ROM to your own language?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] varanusvincent:
you can't use this way to create XIP from Shadow's ROM, Crystal V5. ROM or from Korand's ROM.

If someone can make this XIP.. Could anyone share the file...

with that file. I can make a new ROM based on new OS..:D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] phnikola:
Never flashed any of these ROMs you specified - so if their XIPs can't be dumped using Dump XIP tool from the HyperCore Kitchen, than I won't bother with them. Let me add that ROM cooker can also remove RGU files from ROM before posting, making it very difficult for someone to modify it. Then I'll skip such ROM too.

But...

FACTS

- This manual was intended for beginners.

- When you are a beginner in ROM cooking you don't like to be confused, but want it all to be clear to you before you do anything to your expensive device.

- I see that you are using modified Touch ROM, which can be dumped with this method.

- I also use modified Touch ROM, but I will not post it - there is enough good ROMs out there already

Cheers!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] PhiloPhunk:
Hi All - my first post :)

Thanks for this Phnikola, I'm brand new to all this (smartphone) stuff and need a place to start. Looks good so far.

My TC500 never was in the shops, has no support and no official upgrade path (hmmm...) but there are a few cunning points concerning SIP and home landline "awareness" in the original ROM I'd like to take with me up into WM6.1 (got Cloudyfa's Shadow 2.0 TE ready to go).

Any1 have any good advice for me?

Thanks again :)

Yes it does, but you don't have to cook your own ROM. Just wonder around a bit on this forum and pick a ROM that suits you.

[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] osamazhar:
Hi

I have bought Xperia X from ebay in France which was a demo version. Earlier it was too difficult for me to remove the demo version until I tried flashtool. Now the demo version is gone, I am on Nougat 7.0. I tried several roms from UK, RU, TW and a couple more, but I am totally unable to see the fingerprint manager in the settings or even in *#*#SERVICES#*#* menu. I am currently trying to download Marshmallow version of the rom, the sony servers have taken away the older roms, and the other websites are very slow. But until then I would like to request here to please tell me what should I do for bringing fingerprint scanner. I bough this phone just for this fingerprint thing :(
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] lstic:
It seems it's a hardware issue and it's obviously a pretty common problem.

Check here:

[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] osamazhar:
Thanks. I have already unlocked the bootloader (I am a nexus user, I was unaware of things sony do after unlocking bootloader), now if I send my device to sony what do you think, how much will it cost to solve this issue? I contacted them they asked me to send it to sony.
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] reaper61616:
Some users got replaced phones - this is cost of new unit. My was repaired with parts replacement only (this is not cheap but cheaper then new phone).

In your situation I'll flash stock ftf and left unlocked bootloader (no relocking or something). Then send device to Sony...

Also you can ask Sony if bootloader unlocked units are not under warranty when hardware problem like yours appear. Think problems with fingerprint scanner are not caused by software modifications.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrQQ:
Hello,

is there a fully functional Nougat rom for my beloved S4?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russy23:
I think all the roms will be stable and useable as a daily driver, but as someone who hasnt tryed any out, i cant recommend any
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
"fully functional" and "stable" are very subjective words.

What is fully functional for me might not be fully functional for you.

I don't really use the camera and Bluetooth on my phone, so if those don't work on a certain ROM, then I still consider the ROM to be fully functional for me. Since I don't use them, I don't have a problem with them not working.

That being said, there are various models of the S4 and all have different part revisions. This makes it impossible to have a 100% bug-free experience on any custom ROM, and even TouchWiz ROMs suffer from this problem.

And even if you find what you call a "fully functional ROM", a future update may bring a bug or may break something.

The custom ROM world is an adventure, sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad. People can only recommend ROMs that work or have worked great for them, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will work great for you.

I suggest you find a ROM that appeals to you and try it. If you don't like it, get another one. If none suit your needs, then go back to TouchWiz.

Remember, behind a custom ROM there's usually only one person that does all the work in the free time. While big companies such as Google, Samsung etc, have entire teams that work every day to make their ROM as bug-free as possible, and sometimes even they fail to do it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raziel123:
not 100%, there's minor bugs here and there, but very much a usable daily,

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrQQ:
I do understand all the attachments that go with a custom rom! By fully functional I meant that, like you said, BT, camera, audio, video, NFC, etc are all working.

I will try your suggestion, raziel123.

So I was wondering if it was possible for someone to help me identify this image file type so I can make my own images in Photoshop and use them as stickers in snapchat.

I have tried to change the default stickers in Snapchat but I just get an error inside the app. The image is replaced with a Grayed explanation mark.

I have found the location for the stickers I generated with the scissors tool. I included a screenshot if it. There is no file extensions so I dunno what extention I should use.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] JemHayward:
Have I been unlucky?

Bought my P3300 SIM free in April, and all was well until July, then the screen developed a fault, so I returned it to HTC who replaced screen and main board - this caused major problems at Tom Tom, as the machine ID changed and just as I got that sorted the phone started to crash with increasing regularity, so I sent it back again, and new main board was provided... same old problems with Tom Tom (trick is to phone them, email etc, gets ignored)...

and another... and so on until...

Eventually they agreed to replace the phone entirely, though to be fair, the final one they actually replaced hadn't mis-behaved... New one came with WM6, and was prone to crashing, but I suspected it may be non-compatible apps, so I gradually removed applications - but it still tended to go blank, and then flatten the battery. Eventually it went blank and wouldn't switch on at all.

I sent it back just after xmas, and got an email today to say its been water damaged, and its dead and they can't repair it and won't replace it.

In the few weeks I had this phone its never been out of the house / car, and nothing has been spilt on it, nor has it been dropped in my tea... the external water sensitive label is ok, but (they claim) the internal one is showing water ingress. its not insured, so I now have a £450 ornament that I've had less than 6 months use out of. Have I been unlucky?

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mugglesquop:
very. i've had my MDACIII for over a year now, and never had any problems. I dont paticularly look after it, its covered in dents and scratches from drunk nights out... i use it in the rain too, so its been wet a few times. Never had to send it back, and only had to do a hard reset once (too much randomly installing/uninstalling software) :rolleyes:

Hope u have better luck next time!
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] shawndh:
Sorry to hear about your phone. It's strange because one of the main reasons I bought the Artemis was because of it's reliability. I had been searching the forums for months and couldn't find many if any failures like this. However, the other phones I was considering did have these kinds of problems quite commonly (Trinity & Eten X500). I've had my phone since Sept and I haven't had any problems with it.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] neilhhardy:
hey JemHayward

ok let me help you out here, looks like there playing a little dirty with you here, first your phone has constant problems, so many repairs then you get a replacement ( the replacement is not a new phone but its a reconditioned phone) its a old phone repaired with new covers ( cool hey)

and now they say it has water damage ( but the water indicator on the outside is good) thats enough info for me.

if your phone had been by water BOTH indicators would show up.

please write a letter ( not a e-mail) and make sure you also make an appointment with your lawer and get him to put a signature on it too. send the mail recorded delivery and sit back and wait.

there is no possible way they can tell you that your warrenty is void.

if you do not hear from them within 2 weeks of the letter being received then your lawer will take it over for you.

i will be watching over this one and will be smiling once your new phone is on the way.

good luck.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] JemHayward:
I've written a letter.... so far no reply, but last time it took them a month to reply, then again, it's better than e-mail, they don't seem to reply to that at all. The status at the repair centre is "on-hold" whatever that means.

I've just discovered its not insured. :(
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] neilhhardy:
at least the letter is sent, its just funny how they say its water damage and the first line of defence (water indicator) is not showing.

just keep the pressure on at them, and then you can always ask compensation because of the amount of time you have been without a phone in fully working order :)

give em hell.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] JemHayward:
It's amazingly difficult to "give them hell" when they take ages to reply to letters and their phone system is inpenetrable... very nice lady who's english is poor takes ten minutes collecting your name, address and full details, then says no-one available we'll phone back, and of course, they don't... email is ignored. I may try driving to their offices and banging on the door.

I recently updated my HTC 10 to 7.0 and I see CPUZ where it shows the Processor i.e. 820 clocked at 1.59Ghz and 2 cores stopped. what could be the possible reason??

Posting the screenshot for further reference - UPDATE - I am not able to post a screenshot..:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Khizar Amin:
Snapdragon 820 uses the big.LITTLE architecture. Which means that the processor basically has two cluster. First cluster contains 2 cores which are low power cores, clocked at 1.6 GHz. These cores are used to carry out everyday tasks that do not require much resources. The other cluster has 2 High Performance cores, clocked at 2.2 GHz. These cores are only activated when needed. For example, while playing a game etc.
