[LG G Flex 2] Nym182:
Hi, I don't know if you're still active around here but I wanted to ask if you still have the phone if it's still running and if you had any issues with the 996 mobo on the h950? I'm also looking into replacing mine because it keeps restarting once the battery drops bellow 40% and it's very choppy. I already replaced the battery twice and it's the same so I figured it has to be the mobo. My gflex 2 also has great sentimental value and I want to revive it. Can you confirm that the mobo worked well without any issues like restarts and dodgy performance?

Thanks!
[LG G Flex 2] mrw187:
Yeah it worked for about a year but now the ls996 board has died. Yeah my flex2 has sentimental value cause I got it signed by Vengaboys at a meet n greet before a concert lol
[P3600 ROM Development] supperman2k:
I have put in a new LCD screen into the device and it refuses to power up.

I can still hear wm6 in the background loading with all my reminders etc.

The old screen is cracked but still powers up etc.

Any ideas?
[P3600 ROM Development] supperman2k:
Fixed the problem.

I had to make sure all the contacts were touching for the LCD screen to work properly.

I guess during the cracking it bent something....

could you tell me what happend?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] gabryoryn:
Hello, I discovered a serious problem that I can't understand.

I have Lineage 7.1.1 with microG and privacy guard...I use iShredder and sd maid to clear photo, cache, etc.

Using diskdigger with root, I discover a huge amount of screenshot while I'm using smartphone (using browser, while playing, etc)...I don't understand how this can happen..

I disabled all overlapping permissions of apps

I thank anyone who can enlighten me on this serius issue for me
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] WahZooKey:
Don't know how DiskDigger restores data, but is there a pattern to the screenshots, like date and time? Or interval when being taken? And in which path did you find them? Root rights needed to write there? What apps have root access on your phone?

Will try to reproduce the next days, suggesting first with DiskDigger only before installing other apps you mentioned. And not on my daily driver device. I'm fine right now without using anything from playstore there.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] gabryoryn:
Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately DiskDigger doesn't display informations about image (data, location, etc).

Anyway app with root that I have I think are trust: afwall, forcedoze, adaway, root browser, titanium backup.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] WahZooKey:
Scanned /system and /data with the non-paid version of diskdigger for .jpg and .png, LOS 20170328.

In the /data partition I also found recoverable screenshots of me using calendar, configuring afwall, configuring settings, installing apps and browsing. 17 screenshots, for sure not taken accidentally by myself. Then followed by >100 screenshots in jpg format from videos I recorded a few days ago and haven't deleted until now. For example, I recorded a 40 seconds slowmotion video, and diskdigger offers to restore 4 single screenshots from it, each ~20kb in size, from different positions of the video.

First thought was, maybe the task manager takes temporary pics to offer sliding through recent apps when user triggers switching from one app to another.

But for sure I didn't switch apps when taking a video.

So I'm i also interested in an explanation for this.

Maybe next step would be to reproduce if screenshots of the UI is indeed taken everytime user is pressing home or recent button.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] panchovix:
scanning /data, same thing, a lot of screenshots that i neved made, using OctOS here
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] mstfkaratas:

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] AbhiTrips:
Hey Guys,

So I have been a OnePlus One owner since it launched in India 2 years ago. Never had a problem with the original Cyanogen OS it came loaded in, until last week where it refused to recognize any of my SIM Cards.

So I first flashed PhillzRecovery and installed OxygenOS on my system, this recognized the SIM Card.

I then discovered LineageOS and today flashed it on my phone, following the guide.

I changed the "Display size" settings under "Display" to the smallest. However, the overall screen resolution seems to have reduced.

1. Any Screenshot I take is now sized at 449px x 799px

2. When I visit a site like whatismyscreenresolution on Chrome through my phone, it shows 515 x 915

I distinctly remember having full resolution screenshots before.

Is there a way to fix this?

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] pi4a7a:
Hello, I own Xiaomi Mi5 Prime, is it possible to make it capture images in .RAW format, if yes, whats the way? Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] JRC1995:
Try some 3rd part app like Footej Camera (should be free to check if RAW is available) or other camera apps like (manual camera, proshot etc.) to see if it has RAW support.

RAW option is available in Footej Camera in My Mi5 prime with RR rom. The last MIUI version (Xiaomi.eu version) that I checked also passed the manual camera compatibility test which should mean that rom will support RAW too and have camera2 api enabled. Newer Global rom probably have camera2 api enabled too.

LineageOS also have camera2 api and RAW support (most probably).
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] pi4a7a:
Im using MIUI Global 7.2.8.0.0(MAACNBD) | Stable ROM

My Mi5P doesn't pass the Manual camera compatibility test... aaannnd there is no option in Footej Camera for raw just the quality of the JPEG.

Which MIUI rom should I flash for RAW support?

Also I want to ask about the updater app, looks like it can't connect with network its version 3.0.0 is there update or something ?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] JRC1995:
Firstly you seem to be having a very old global rom. So you may need to update it.

If you click the the dots in footej camera you will get options like grid, white balance, single photo etc in the viewfinder.

If you click the single photo option you will get options for HDR, RAW, Burst mode.....

But I doubt you will get RAW support without the camera 2 api enabled (if it is enabled footej camera should also 'show' shutter speed and ISO in viewfinder by default.

But other than the camera thing, I have another major concern for your rom.

I am not sure, but I suspect that you have a 'fake ROM' or 'vendor ROM'.

"h t t p: //xiaomit ips.com/guide/how-to-spot-fake-miui-rom-on-your-phone/" (can't post links yet. Remove quotes and spaces to use the link)

You have more than 4 digits for the version apparently.

It is advisable to get rid of the fake rom as soon as possible....generally they are full of bugs..and may even have adwares and malwares with worse performace. And yes having a fake rom is probably the reason why you have no OTA yet....(not a network problem but a rom problem). Do your research and if you can confirm you are having a fake rom getting rid of it should be your first priority.

I was lucky to have a official global rom from the start, so I can't advise you on how to get rid of it from my own experience.

However I had this link bookmarked as I was expecting I will recieve a fake rom:

"h t t p : //en. miui .com/thread-309122-1-1.html" (can't post links yet. Remove quotes and spaces to use the link)

It seems to list some possible ways to remove the fake rom from least risky to most risky method. Most risky method should still be fine if you are flashing the proper rom, I guess.

EDL is often the recommended method for totally getting rid of it...but after a certain version Xiaomi blocked EDL or something.

Assuming your bootloader is locked, you can request for Mi unlock by explaining your situation and then fastboot flash your rom with the latest global beta (or stable) or you may be able to put twrp and flash Xiaomi.eu version of the rom (which is a bloatfree translated chinese version of miui....which is quite stable..)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] pi4a7a:
Whoa.. I didn't know that.. looks like mine is fake....

They say "Please note that the new MIUI versions (7.3.X.X and above) today already blocking this method (EDL), but if you have the old version you can use it."

Mine is 7.2 so I guess it's not locked right ?

Can you provide me the best step by step tutorial how to completely remove that fake stuff and install a brand new global stable MIUI rom ?

EDL

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] pi4a7a:
I downloaded Version: V8.1.4.0.MAAMIDI (MIUI8) Global Stable ROM from their site

Did as you said with the Updater app, now all I see is black screen with white circle spinning from about 5 minutes.

In case this method bricks my device what should I do?

Edit: It's booting now..

Edit2: Nothing really happened, just drained my battery with 4%. Everything is still the same...
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] JRC1995:
What exactly did happen?

IIRC the updater app first verify the package and then tries to update.

Was the verification successful?

Did it directly went to the black screen in one go?

Also you may wait for at least 10-20 minutes.

I am not really experienced in this method...I only suggested as it was written in the link.

I don't think it's exactly bricked, the white circle means something is going on......if the updater successfully updated first boot should take some time.

In case of brick., I am not sure what to do with a locked bootloader. You will probably be able to still go to fastboot (holding volume down + power button)....but not exactly sure what after that. May be you will need an engineering cable. May be make a thread here or search google regard what to do when mi 5 bricked with locked bootloader.

Here's a thread where an user bricked his phone while bootloader is locked: http://en.miui.com/thread-474717-1-1.html

Hopefully the solution given in the reply should work: http://en.miui.com/thread-298885-1-1.html
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] pi4a7a:
The Updater verificated the package and then it ask me am I sure, etc. and I agreed then the circle for 10 min. then restarted, and nothing changed...
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] JRC1995:
So still the vendor rom?

I guess you can try china dev recovery rom next.

Or other methods. May be start by unlocking bootloader (may have to wait 3-10 days to get permission and in the end they may even deny permission for some reason) or you may take the risk and try EDL searching google for guide.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] pi4a7a:
Yup...

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] JRC1995:
For chinese characters you can try google translate phone app to get the gist of what is going on.

Also the thread is quite old, I wonder if the same thing can be done using the English version of MI PC Suite or not. You can try that if the language barrier poses a problem. But I am not sure if there are any reason for which english version shouldn't be used or not.

Even if you unlock bootloader it can be relocked again while flashing the global fastboot rom using mi flash tool if you choose the clean all and lock (or something like that) option.

EDIT: The device got bricked... I went through the procces again and this time the PC Suite (English version) found a newer ROM and installed it, it said procces failed or something like that, the device turned on and it was with the new 8.2 china rom, all information was on the phone, everything is good now, Thanks for all the help

Suggesting all to you guys with Fake Mi rom, remove it!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] JRC1995:
I don't know what happened, but it's all's well when the end is well, I guess.

It sounds like you went through a messy processes, some bugs may appear as a result....if you experience strange graphical bugs or something you might consider full wipe flashing but if there is no major bugs (though there are some bugs that are part of the rom which won't be gone no matter how clean the flash is), things should be alright now if you are on the official version.

I am not sure if camera2 api is enabled by default in 8.2 stable china rom (which is what I am guessing you have now?) but hopefully it is enabled. In miui 8 camera 2 can still be enabled by editing build props even if it is not enabled by default but that will need root which will need bootloader unlocking beforehand......but hopefully latest stable version is enabled by default.

So it seems you are stuck on the china rom...but if you can make gapps work with it, it might not be so bad. I also hear that china roms are more supported and has less bug (3rd party widgets didin't work well in latest global dev but work for me in latest xiaomi.eu based on china rom) and many users said that china rom has better audio output (in headphone or something)...but that may be fixed in latest global rom....well my point is that there can be some pros in staying in china rom too.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] pi4a7a:
There are no bugs at all. Raw is not supported...

Now I want to swap to Global stable rom, is that posssible ? This is top priority now.

If not, How can I get google play working on this china 8.2 stable?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] JRC1995:
So it didn't pass the manual camera compatibility test? (Note, RAW is not available in stock camera, it can only be used in some 3rd party camera if camera 2 api is enabled which can be checked using manual camera compatibility test)

I guess, then they implemented this feature in the dev versions. You can probably update to china dev by downloading the latest china dev ota rom and updating it with the updater app after renaming it to update.zip. Or they will probably implement it in the later stable versions which they will release.

Switching to global rom without unlocking bootloader? Now that process is not as straightforward.

Here's a thread about it: http://en.miui.com/thread-299790-1-1.html

But it talks about making\buying an engineering cable.....unlocking bootloader is much less hassle imo and in future all these rom switicng things will be lot easier.......

For installing google apps in china rom, you need google installer or something, I guess. Installing gapps should be the simplest thing that you can try at the moment, I guess. You have to use google installer or something.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] pi4a7a:
So if I unlock my bootloader it will be easy to change to Global Stable right?

I will reques unlock code.

Can you share the process for UB please?

And how to lock it later if its not ok to stay with unlocked..
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] JRC1995:
https://xdaforums.com/mi-5/how-to/unlocking-xiaomi-mi-5-bootloader-t3336243

This was my experience:

Staying unlocked is alright. With an unlocked bootloader you can install twrp, supersu, root your device and play with custom roms or other power apps that need root and a lot of things. But locked bootloader is said to be more secure (not exactly sure, in what respect...I am not very knowledgable regarding all these) and safe...also somethings like android pay may not work with unlocked bootloader..I am not sure.....better to google it about pros and cons of a locked bootloader or unlocked bootloader. If you consider yourself to be a normal user with no desire to root or move to custom roms, perhaps it is overall better for you to say locked.

Since you desire a global rom your next step should be to download the mi 5 latest global stable or dev 'fastboot' rom (not the recovery rom, or ota rom).....after that you have to download mi flash tool and flash the rom to your phone from fastboot mode.

In mi flash tool there is an option 'clean all' and another option to 'clean all and lock' or something similar.....the latter option should flash the rom AND lock your bootloader.

There is also an option to save data or something, however I will recommend to back up all your data in a pc or something and just do a full wipe flash.

You can probably google the details of flashing a fastboot rom.

Here's the mi official guide: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html (see the fastboot update section)

Here's something with more details: http://en.miui.com/thread-299790-1-1.html

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] pi4a7a:
Thats a pretty nice explanation. Thanks.

I'm kind of phtography guy so camera is my priority.

Anyway I will try the eu rom. I just need you to guide me again in the procces of switching to eu rom and rooting it if its not

Isn't the latest eu based on 8.2.2?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] JRC1995:
Latest stable rom 8.2.2.0, I think. I read recent play store issues and other bugs are solved in it. So I guess it should be a worth a try. I haven't personally tried it (though I am kind of tempted to try it).

Link is here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=154258 (xiaomi.eu_multi_MI5_V8.2.2.0.NAACNEB_v8-7.0.zip)

Do you have twrp installed?

if not, install that first.

http://en.miui.com/thread-329161-1-1.html

(No need to download the specific version of twrp mentioned there, just download the latest one. And don't root (flash superuser) immediately after flashing twrp....because we need to flash the other rom first. Also if you shift+right click inside the adb folder you can find an option "open command window here" in windows. Select it to open the command window with already the adb being the selected working directory.)

After flashing twrp, boot to system and then go to updater app and boot to recovery (or power off and then hold volume up+power button to go to twrp recovery mode and see if it's coming up). Also check if your phone is recognized and your internal memory is accessible from your computer when the phone is in twrp recovery mode. If not recognized you can try to go to 'Mount"->disable MTP-> Then again enable MTP.

Now before anything backup all your data in computer and something, if you need to. Then in twrp recovery mode go to wipe->Formate Data->yes. Also swipe to Factory Reset. Then from your pc copy paste the xiaomi.eu recovery rom that you downloaded (the one in the link above) to the phone (no need to rename the rom to anything). After copying is complete...go to Install->Select the zip file of the rom->Swipe to confirm flash........and you are done. Now, you just have to wait...when flashing is complete...then you can boot to system...it may take quite some time to totally boot into the system....(you should wait at least 20 minutes before panicking. If after 20-30 minutes only mi sign is present without any android text below or anything else, the phone might be bricked...but you should still be able to go to twrp by holding power+volume up button. )

After loading is complete, you should have successfully flashed the new rom. In the latest rom you may already have camera 2 api enabled (check manual camera compatibility test). If not, you need to root. To root just go to twrp recovery again and flash supersu just like how you flashed the rom.

After booting into the system you will find a new supersu app installed. Open and choose the expert mode or something.

Then you can download a root file explorer (I use solid explorer, es explorer should work too)....Then from the root explorer go to root directory. Grant super su root permission if the message box demanding root permission appears (it should appear. Wait for a while) Just search for build.prop...open the file and add a line: "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1".....Save and reboot.

You can use root for other needs too.
