Installed this build, Global Developer about a month ago and it works flawlessly so I didn't even update it although I get new notification every Friday. As you can see it's multilingual, no Chinese characters or similar things, everything is the same except you have new features (split screen i.e.)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] prima_sas:
I still couldn't get the point.

You have binding problem before unlocking the BL with global version, but then you able to do the binding with Developer version.

Then how you manage to install Developer version without unlocking the BL?

How we could flash Developer ROM version with locked BL? :confused:
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] frulex:
You can install Developer WITH locked BL - just download full ROM .zip, put it on phone and go to Updater app - select .zip from upper right and upgrade/reboot. With new ROM installed, now you can bind device and it should not give error...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] CatalystWon:
Could you post the exact developer ROM version you used for those having trouble?:)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] frulex:
Well, it was 7.12.28 but there are at least 5 newer versions published after that, I guess it should be the same no matter which you use...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] sirarisma:
Thanks for guide.

Just one question, to solve 86006 error code we need to flash development version, binding and unlock. Ok, and now how we should back to global version, just downloading official zip and flashing via internal miflash.(Keeping bootloader unlocked status)

PD2:Granted the permission to unlock 39 mins after i requested. But app tells i have to wait 72 hours O.o
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] frulex:
You're on the right path. It will countdown 72h and then allow you to unlock. After unlock, I flashed TWRP and then any ROM of choice, Global Stable included - although I see no point in going back to Stable again, why unlocking then. And yes, one more thing, from this point on, it's all done through TWRP and full ROM .zip install, cannot use OTA anymore.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] sirarisma:
I can only talk by me, Global Stable is a good rom(to apply ota only needs stock recovery, flash twrp temporally and then reroot) so its better do it monthly than more time because is was a developer version.

My need is be root(TBP, sms backups and adblockers)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] mauecky:
Bootloader unlocked :)

I have to change to newest developer rom my flashing it with XiaoMiTool, couse I couldn't add acount in developers settings - mi unlocked status. After adding acount there i waited 72H and unlocked bootloader.

Flashed RED WOLF recovery, GLOBAL STABLE ROM, SUPERSU and everything ok - almost :P my region is changing to the CHINA after every reboot (getting chinese names in for example theme names).

Any solution to this?

PS THANK U 4 GUIDE
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] Anne_Droid:
Very helpful posts, thank you.

I was on 8.5.5 Global, switched to the latest Developer Rom, and finally was able to bind my mi account to the device. Now also waiting for 72 hours.

I'm coming from Xiaomi Note 4x, never experienced this problem. was unlocked in 15 minutes. That was my first Xiaomi phone.

I've not heard of anone that wanted to downgrade their android version on miui, especially on mi max 2. I think u can if the rom based on the Android version u want is available. Why do you want to downgrade anyway? ?

[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] rsatya:
just use another browser for doing so
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] jutley:
That didn't work but I have sorted it the problem was that I didn't need to request permission.

hey, thanks mate i followed exactly your steps it worked for my mi max 2

i had the same issue for error 86006

i flashed developed rom and now waiting 72hrs as the flash tool showed me.

really much of thanks to you

and please if you have any idea about good custom roms for this device share with me

cheers

EDIT: See EDIT-Update below

I somehow am unable to "update" to the latest Developer ROM to circumvent the 86006-Error. This is what happens:

- I head to the Download Page, get the latest Mi Max 2 Developer ROM (miui_MIMAX2Global_8.4.19_90753089d3_7.1, so it's probably 8.4.19)

- Got to System Updates. It is showing me MIUI 9.5.4.0 Stable.

- Tap the three Dots, select Update package

- File manager opens up and i can check the Update file. It gets a little checkmark

and thats it. Nothing happens at all.

I can't update to Developer ROM to bind my device, I cannot bind my device due to being unable to switch ROMs.

Anyone got a solution for that?

EDIT-Update:

got fedup with waiting and did a full system Reset. From there on I was able to flash Developer ROM and have to wait 72hrs to unlock.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] Trac Mila:
I battled for three days then found Superfem1 post #64. It worked perfectly. Thanks

It looks like you don't need to ask permission anymore. So trying to bind device and account over and over and trying to get to the second unlock screen is just a waste of time.

If you get a fault 86006 while trying to bind device and account, stop immediately, you wont be able to fix it. Then follow the steps in post #64.

My next hurdle is rooting.

Unlock Mi Max 2 bootloader success in USA:

I just registered my Mi Max 2 to my Mi account via developer options in the newest official global ROM of MIUI 9. Loaded the PC unlock tool, was told to wait 72 hours. After 72 hours it worked and DID NOT WIPE MY DATA PARTITION. Back in bootloader, I manually booted into TWRP (fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-oxygen.img) and backed up my EFS, recovery, and boot. Pulled the backup off the device via TWRP's USB transfer feature. Installed latest no-encrypt (https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/), installed latest Magisk (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/). Tested boot system, all fine. Reboot into bootloader, flash TWRP as recovery. Rebooted into system, all ok.

Next step will be to fix the only bug of the current MIUI 9 ROM that I've found, terrible headphone output volume. Its about half of what it should be.

Fix: https://xdaforums.com/mi-max-2/themes/headset-audio-boost-t3712647

[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] Krisko Ko:
This is one of the most pathetic company decisions I have seen

Here is my take. Screw the security issue right from the start. Instead of sending out your phones with the bootlaoder locked send them out unlocked and have a clear option for those people who wish to secure their phone using this idiotic aspect.

One of the main reasons why I am so ticked off is that these Xiaomi nuts actually are demanding that you give them your telephone number. How dare they? That is private information and I bought a phone not a contract to give away personal data. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. I WILL MAKE DAMN SURE THAT I NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR PRODUCTS AND I WILL MAKE DAMN SURE THAT EVERYBODY I KNOW GETS TO HEAR ABOUT THIS GARBAGE.

In the meantime I strongly suggest to the Xiaomi company that they make available a single exe file that unlocks the bootloader and be done with all this krap. So much for their being the geeks friends. Reminds me of apple and all those disgusting iphone systems.

Gow up Xiaomi!

I need to flash my phone with a Developer ROM so I can do more things with it but this bootloader unlocking crap that owners have to go through is ridiculous!

I need some serious help please!

How can this be done on a global stable ROM when there is no Updater app on the Stable ROM???
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] frulex:
It's not an app really, actually these are the 3 dots in upper right corner when you go to check for new updates in Settings. I don't have Max 2 anymore so I don't know how it looks now (there is no such option on my current Max 3).

[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] thewizardoz:
Yes, sorry, it's not an app. It's when I click on the 3 dots in new updates there is no option to choose a downloaded ROM with the Stable version ROM, only on the Developer version ROM. But it's that Developer version that I want to install/flash! Very frustrating!!

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViralHatred:
Hi there,

I have a Tesco GB Moto G XT1039, this morning when I woke up I tried to open Whatsapp (I had message notifications) and it crashed.

So I tried opening again, same thing. Tried opening other stuff and "App has stopped working" and lots of Google app related errors started coming up and crashing apps.

Tried to run AVG thinking it may be a virus and had no luck.

Held down my power button to restart and it played the Moto logo before being stuck at a bright black screen, there appears to be some kind of orange/yellow dots in the corner that I had thought was dust but it's not.

Can access bootloader, recovery option does not work and simply returns to black screen. Have unlocked it (Status Code 3 and displays as unlocked) and when flashed with a stock recovery image lets me boot into recovery mode with dead android and triangle and can clear user data in the factory rest menu, attempting to clear cache reboots the phone and puts me back to the bright black screen.

Have tried flashing TWRP but can't get it to boot, attempting to boot into recovery just returns to the black screen, on some versions of TWRP it has produced a deep blue screen but returned to black after that.

Screen is not broken obviously because it can display the moto logos perfectly. I'm unsure where to go from here or fix, the phone is not rooted or using a custom rom. Any help would be much appreciated.

From bootloader:

So, I've successfully ruined my phone...

I did this more times but I could get it back to work, I always enjoyed getting a new ROM on my phone, however i managed boldly to delete the complete freakin' OS using TWRP.

I tried odinning it back to work, but i gave up after several hours, maybe days...

Now the problem: I could use Samsung Smart Switch, but I don't have the box and... I have taken the little sticker down from behind the battery, and now I dont have the IMEI number... I know, I couldn't have mistaken any worse, but I did.

So is there any way to gather the number?

May I contact the seller? It's not dependant unfortunately.

The only thing I have is the phone itself.

Please, if you have a solution, anything, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Zalán

update: I know the IMEI number from Google Dashboard, is there a way to derive the serial number from it?

Hello to all.

I wanted to talk to you about a very serious topic : Narcissists

Narcissists are a category of people suffering from what is called NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder), they are, in my opinion, one of the most psychologically destructive people you can ever meet.

They pretend to love and care for you, all the while they are planning your utter destruction.

What makes them so dangerous is their advanced manipulation tactics they use on unsuspecting targets.

You might be a target without even realizing it.

At first you'd think they are wonderful people, but once you get to know them well, you'll know this is all an act.

Here is a list of what Abusers/Narcissists usually do to their targets :

- Insults their target very often. Then lie when confronted about it, or say it was a joke.

- When confronted with their behavior, they pretend to be innocent and play the victim.

- Everything is always your fault, even when it's obviously not.

- They always have a justification for every bad thing they do. They think they're always right.

- Very controlling, they tell you how to live, but they can live anyway they want. Very hypocritical.

- They accuse you of what they're doing to you (RED FLAG!), it's called Projection.

- Portraying themselves as angels outside, when they are actually demons with their family and especially their target.

- They want you to fail, while pretending to want you to succeed (they're very convincing).

- They never say they are sorry for hurting you (RED FLAG!).

- Poison your favorite activities, they don't want you to be happy or to get pleasure. They also poison other useful activities like important skills which will help you in the future. They DO NOT want you to have skills, they want you to be as weak as possible. They don't teach you anything.

- Subtly lead a smear campaign against their target, so they isolate it and make sure they don't get help.

- When you want to leave the relationship with a narcissist, they beg you to stay with them and cry crocodile tears. They are the best actors.

- Sometimes nice, sometimes cruel. You never know where you stand with them.

- They pretend to be "victims", and they blame the target for their own behavior.

- They are incredibly arrogant and sadistic. They see the target as weak, and deserving to suffer.

- They think they are models to be followed.

- They are spiritually dead although they might loudly profess some kind of Spiritual Belief.

Please share this message to other people and forums.

Hope it helped. Take care my brothers.

i cant enter to bootloader mode by keys power+volum down or by adb reboot bootloader in pc although adb reboot will done

why my htc m8 cant enter to recovery mode?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
What is the status of the phone, it can boot normally to OS?

In most cases, you can reboot (if in OS, hold power button, select restart - otherwise you can hold power+vol up to force a reboot). Once the screen goes dark to reboot (but

before

the HTC logo screen appears) let go of any buttons, and

only

hold vol down. Don't let go, until the bootloader screen appears.

Failure to get into bootloader by the above means almost always means you just got the timing wrong. Either started pressing vol down too late, or let go too early. Just repeat until you have it right.

Also, are you sure you are doing the command correctly? It is: adb reboot-bootloader

With a "dash" between reboot and bootloader.

What is the response when you enter the command? Does it say the command not recognized. Or any change on the phone (reboots, but stuck on logo screen, etc.).

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Might not actually be powering off when trying to go to bootloader. We've seen a couple instances where the phone actually boots to bootloader, but you would not actually realize it, since the screen is black. You might try to guess at the bootloader selections, and see if you can pick the selections with the vol key and power button. Or see if you can get any response from command: fastboot devices

The screenshot you posted is the stock recovery. So you have recovery, it's just stock and not custom recovery (TWRP).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowwhitca:
i make as you tell me acceactily but no boot loader

is the device maybe not has bootloader?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It's not possible. If there was no bootloader (or bootloader damaged), the screen wouldn't come on, in any way, and especially not into OS (or stock recovery, etc). The reason they call it a "bootloader" is that it's responsible for booting everything else on the phone (in simple terms). If there was no bootloader, the phone would be a hard brick.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I'm not clear what you mean.

If you do adb reboot-bootloader, does the phone just appear to shut off (black screen) or what exactly happens?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowwhitca:
yes when i do adb reboot-bootloader, the device shut off (shutdown)

i cant do fastboot devices when the device shut off( it is no conect with pc
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You assume you can't do fastboot devices? Or did you actually try it?

Because you never answered that questions (what response to fastboot devices) specifically, which I asked twice.

Reason I ask, as I already described, we've seen situations where folks think the phone is off, but is actually in bootloader, just with black screen. But everything else, buttons and fastboot commands, work normally.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I would highly recommend fixing whatever is going on with bootloader; before trying to unlock the bootloader.

I still don't think you are properly understanding me. I suspect (but not sure) that the

phone is actually still on

when you try to boot bootloader, but that only the

screen

is off or displaying black.

That is why I need you to try fastboot commands to see if they work or not.

If fastboot does work, suggest you flash the RUU to restore bootloader (this will fix black screen in bootloader problem): https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
