Maybe it's not downgrade protection, maybe it's protection from upgrading to ROM's from other models, which was disabled in Mi 5X (maybe because A1 was produced) and enabled in Mi Max 2. We don't know. But eMMC is untouched and after erasing you can't restore the phone. There is QFPROM in Qualcomm SoC, where this information can be stored... It's like 1-time writable block (fuse).
[Xiaomi Mi 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] JhonAndrew:
I hope someone could point out to a guide to even at least bring back the phone to its working state. I am also facing this issue and its a hassle for me to return the device. :(

Here you go : http://en.miui.com/thread-844022-1-1.html

but Please read everything
[Xiaomi Mi 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] firlando:
this method only for temporary fix, but better rather you have brick 900E device.

i also have this type 3 which is mimax 2 aboot on it, the worse think that my device IMEI/MEID is different between box and HH

i try all the method none success... lol waiting from xiaomi to fix this problem
[Xiaomi Mi 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] halfcastsid:
what ? so imei from the phone does not match with the box ? then i would send it back and get one with original EN/CH firmware and then flash official one with multi language.

did you pay with paypal ? then it should be very easy
[Xiaomi Mi 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] firlando:
i bough from local distributor here, i don't know it can be return or there's any good solution. right now i communicate this problem to them and so far they still respond but not offer the solution yet.

The box when i receive was sealed but with local warranty card inside the box, lol they resealed it i think, also they flash the global fake firmware, and then put the phone to wrong IMEI/MEID box. in my country its hard to find guinea rom for xiaomi, most of them use fake rom we call it (distributor rom)
[Xiaomi Mi 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] vladpisarev:
Oh, don't worry about numbers. That can be caused by other's backup. Just restore your data with QPST. Of course, if Chinese resellers don't sent you incorrect box from another device :D As you know, they open your box and disassemble phone to flash their firmware.

Also it's 100% confirmed that this is a form of downgrade protection. Read this message on 4PDA with translator.
[Xiaomi Mi 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] Kalameet:
Has anyone got a refund from them yet? Also what is the harm of using the fake rom?
[Xiaomi Mi 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] Triceratops33:
The fix in this thread discussion does indeed work. Had to open phone but seller was never going to help me so had no choice. Flashed official EN-CN miui along with mi max2 aboot. Phone is now working better than when I got it. Flashed gapps, all good. Xiaomi are working on a new bootloader to fix this issue completely. See below.

[Android General] timppajee:
I am trying to generate an empty userdata.img file. I just want to get rid of user generated data, so kind of format phone by using heimdall and as I understand this is the simplest way to achieve it. I understand that I can do this other ways as well, but I want to use heimdall for this operation.

So I am creating empty userdata image with make_ext4fs like this: "make_ext4fs -l 200M -s userdata.img empty" and it works fine, but the size is something I don't understand. As I use -s parameter, it should be a sparse image which should resize as it gets full, isn't it? But as I flash this file, I can see data directory is just 200 megs in size. If I generate the image with -l 1G, then data partition is 1 gigabyte in the device. Then, do I understand that sparse option incorrectly or does it only work with emulator?

Do I have to generate the image to match exactly the size that device specs says or is there some size I should use? If I do print-pit with heimdall, for userdata it doesn't specify partition block count, but just says block size/offset, so I expect this is the place where the partition begins in the filesystem:

--- Entry #21 ---
Binary Type: 0 (AP)
Device Type: 2 (MMC)
Identifier: 21
Attributes: 5 (Read/Write)
Update Attributes: 5 (FOTA)
Partition Block Size/Offset: 6659072
Partition Block Count: 0
File Offset (Obsolete): 0
File Size (Obsolete): 0
Partition Name: userdata
Flash Filename: userdata.img
FOTA Filename: remained

How do I know what is the size of the image I should generate? Is there any way to get this info straight from odin mode with heimdall?

I have read quite a lot of different forums and here and there I can see that some peoples are able to find empty userdata images, but I haven't seen those in any of the samsung firmware packages I have checked.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] DelicatePanda:
Was anyone able to get ARCore working on OnePlus 3T??

I have tried both the original and the modified APKs of Tango Core but whenever I try to open the HelloAR app it keeps crashing after the Made with Unity screen. I made Tango Core a system app and then a new option in settings menu appered as shown in the screen shot attached and when I tap on it I get a menu saying Chose Profile but regardless of which option out of the 2 (Personal and Work) I choose it crashes. You can get the APKs from here[IMG="Tango Core "Choose Profile" option in settings"]https://delicatepanda.000webhostapp.com/tcpro.jpg[/IMG][IMG="Tango Core option in settings"]https://delicatepanda.000webhostapp.com/tc.jpg[/IMG][IMG="Crash after Made with Unity"]https://delicatepanda.000webhostapp.com/mwu.jpg[/IMG]

Update 1:

After installing this magisk module thanks to @4RK4N and uninstalling and reinstalling the modified Tango Core and HelloAR apps (though I'm not sure if it is required to uninstall and reinstall) I got Hello AR running on my OnePlus 3T with Open Beta 13 and Magisk 13.3 thanks to topjohnwu

Update 2:

After installing the module mentioned up and getting Hello AR working I made Tango Core a system app and now I can select the Personal option in Tango in Settings but the Work option still causes crash. It shows Clear area descriptions, Permissions and View open-source license options. There are currently no apps with Permissions even though Hello AR is installed and working and the Clear area descriptions option is currently disabled.[IMG="Tango —> Personal"]https://delicatepanda.000webhostapp.com/tcper.jpg[/IMG][IMG="Tango Permissions"]https://delicatepanda.000webhostapp.com/tperm.jpg[/IMG][IMG="Tango Personal Licensing"]https://delicatepanda.000webhostapp.com/tlicen.jpg[/IMG]

Moderators, if this thread breaks some rules- delete it. I don't know...

We all see great development on t713 and t813, they have now Los 15 among first in samsung world.

But for lte versions, nothing.

This puts big shade on usability , for me, on great t719 device. I hope I am no alone...

So, is there anybody else here, with me, who agrees we to find one credible developer, buy him t719, and expect he to make Los 15 for t719, and maybe t819?

If someone esle with me, appear here. And then to see if there is good developer for us...

I hope some developers also to announce here he/they want to work on t719, t819

Phone works, audio of calls does not. Small difference because phone would mean that LTE data network does not work too and this is not the case. Well, in theory this is a tablet and not a phone, but I am quite shocked how many ppl seem to need a 10"/8" phone with them. Last word is not spoken out yet here, but no one has a clue why it does not work. The guy behind RIL says it's audio, the guy behind the device specific code says it's RIL. Yes, one of both is wrong a bit... ^^
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xomegax:
I don't need a 10/8" Phone. My tablet is mounted in Car for Navigation and Music playing. For that it is connected via BT to car audio.

In Germany it is forbidden (for understandeable reasons) to hold Phones in hand during the ride. So then the Tablet should also be able to make calls over BT, what works properly on stock.

Additionally Google Assistant should be able to start these calls (voice recognition), what actually NOT works on stock. This last issue is the only reason why i'm searching for another ROM.

I simply dont want to press any button on the device during the ride.

By the qay on my Galaxy S7 google assistant works fine with same android Version.

Sorry for my bad English. I hope you understand me.

No not understood ....it is not about who "needs" and does not...to each his own device-we have the LTE version...some of us have it and want the OS for those versions--simple...end of dicussion of what is "right" and "wrong" and what is "needed" and not needed. Thank you.

"I am quite shocked how many ppl seem to need a 10"/8" phone with them."....

that is because they want one device and not carry multiple devices around...my guess

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] mohitdhanawat:
Hi,

I have been using my honor 8 for over 5 months now.. the phone is woking perfectly fine.

Now all of a sudden my phone wont connect to the home wifi network.. it is connecting to all other networks and all the other devices are also connecting to this specific network.

Whenever i try to connect it gives me an error saying "access denied to network" i did "forget network" and tried to re-connect. Now it says that the password is incorrect. I am typing the correct password. I have done this setting with other devices on the same network and they work absolutely fine.

I have restarted, powered off and on my phone but nothing seems to help.

Can someone please help me with a solution.

Hey.. i turned the security off and set the wifi to open. the phone connected to the wifi and it was working. I again switched it to password protected and my phone gave an error while putting in a password saying "access denied to this network". i went on to change the security type from WPA2-PSK to WPA-PSK and now my phone is connecting..

Thank a ton. Your suggestion led me to try this option as well. Such a relief. Was about to factory reset my phone.

Factory reset may solve the problem.

However, it is good to know that your phone is connecting. :)

My H850 frequently stops accepting charge, and then allows the battery to discharge to empty even with the charger connected. When I put it on the charger at the end of the day I hear the charging tone and it starts to charge, but in the morning the charge level is lower than when I connected it, and occasionally the battery is completely empty.

I've checked the charger and battery contacts and can't see any sign of lint or other debris. The charger and cable both work fine with a tablet, so I assume they're fine.

Any ideas??

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
Sounds like a possible bad usb port on the charging chin. Or battery does it break connections if jiggled around?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] itm:
I have the same problem with my spare battery (which I bought a few months ago as part of the LG kit). Interestingly I have a Qualcomm 3.0 certified Anker charger on my desktop which seems to keep it charged fine overnight, so maybe it's just a problem with non-certified chargers (although it was working fine until a couple of weeks ago).

The USB battery connection seems OK - if I jiggle it around I don't lose the charging connection. But then when it's charging overnight it's always sitting still on a flat surface, and I check that it's charging as soon as I lay it down.

Yes there are a few different apps for remapping the Bixby key or if you root you can do it yourself manually too.

Check in the s8 themes and apps section on XDA or just wait and they'll come to this one too.

However I like Bixby, it's quite helpful and saves me time :)

I'm not planning on rooting, just disabling any unnecessary packages. I'm pretty happy with the Google assistant, and think that's likely to be superior to Bixby.

package disable doesnt work all the time. Its a known fact.

Samsung has told the dev to change some thing so it doesnt work.

I had it install on my phone and work great. Then one day i went to add another app to the list and the program wouldnt load.

So i uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Then got an error 102. Contacted the dev and he said it was samsungs fault and if im getting that error to uninstall and ask for a refund.

So with all that being said i doubt it will work on the note 8. I hope it does since i like to block ota updates but we will see what happens.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Dodge DeBoulet:
Sorry, can't agree with this. Their decision to side with Samsung on this was good business sense. Had any customer using it been "lit up" by a faulty battery while the installation of the update was blocked by PD, they'd have been wide open to a lawsuit regardless of what the license agreement said.
