[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Your-Android.de:
Google wont provide you to download a systemimage for the Mi Mix 2. I'm sure, that there will be an official LineageOS-build anytime, but there is also a backdoor possible. Even google could implement a backdoor into the system and nobody would be able to check that.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] SWBgHz:
It doesn't really work that way, Google doesn't provide ROMs for any phones other than thier own. Manufacturers have to do the whole bit for drivers and whatnot. Enthusiasts do ROMs but those take time. Best bet for you is if you don't trust the phone since it is Chinese get from a manufacturer you do trust or watch rom forum here for a custom rom you think is worth trying.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] stockandro:
True, but google already has all of our information. so my question is why give them to someone else as well?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] stockandro:
Well i am currently on an iphone 7 plus. no complaints what so ever on the performance its just ios is a bit limited for me. I would love to get the pixel 2 its just that the hardware they are going to sell us does not justify it's price vs it's competitors. for example Huawei Mate 10. but even with Huawei, the data collection question arises again. i mean everyone does it, but i'd prefer to give it to google or apple rather someone else.

We have to know the bootloader can be unlocked and are all fastboot commands stay intact.

Here's a system dump if that'll help at all.

Here's a system dump. ADB works, can't get into fastboot. I have developer options enabled and I CAN enable OEM unlock...but of course LG isn't allowing unlocking on their dev site.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Questions & Answers] wyvernwaddell:
I can get into download mode, and adb works. Fastboot doesn't seem to be there. I suppose it might be possible to factory sign a modified .kdz? I don't know enough to know if that's possible, but I'll test it if you try and make one :)

LG Gpad X II 10.1 REALLY want to ROOT!!

Ok, more stuff. Here's a stock boot image and a patched boot image I extracted with magisk. Can anyone figure out a way to put these together and sign it such that it will install? I really want to root this thing. I am willing to try just about anything that stands a chance of working. If you're a dev and willing to at least give it a try, let me know and I'm ready to go at it. If I brick it trying I'm not going to be worried about it-it's nearly useless to me without root.

I notice the stock .Marshmallow .kdz is out in the world now...is there any way to factory sign a modified .kdz and install that, maybe?

[LG G Pad X 8.0 Questions & Answers] Thisisabadname:
Also gonna bump this, I don't even need permanent root or anything like that. I only want to change one line in the build prop so that I can use all apps in dual window (persist.splitwindow.support_all), and setprop did not work.

I've sat over this device for hours at a time, trying every obscure one click root tool, method, and app, to no avail. Strange for a device with a 2016 security patch.

I will test anything you guys can find, regardless of brick potential. I need that split window goodness.

From what I can describe is it looks similar to this this: http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Jabra/na-us/products/Pages/JabraBT250v.aspx

[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plikenz:
Hi,

I have a problem with my P8 lite I bought today from some guy. It's stuck on boot logo, I tried wipe cache, factory reset, nothing helps. Tried fastboot, but my phone is locked in a nice green color. Can't unlock it since I don't know any numbers (IMEI, serial, firmware, etc), neither do I have the original package, so basically I'm stuck there. Tried the 3 button method with a 4Gb SD card and a "dload" folder on it with an "UPDATE.APP", still nothing, at 5% it says "Software update failed! Get help from ..... ". Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I watched some youtube videos and saw some guy putting the "dload" folder in the internal memory but since the phone is bricked I can't access it. Maybe that's the issue? Or do I have to use a card adapter instead of my old android phone for data transfers? Pardon my English, I'm more of a speaker than a writer. Any help will be appreciated.

Update: tried software b895(vodafone), now it said "incompatibility with current version" instead of "get help". Am I getting any closer?
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] persona78:
FIrst you need the rollback ROM, after flash it then you can try a ROM

Google it

rollback rom fails to flash?

.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plikenz:
If you're talking about downgrading, then yes, it fails... As far as I understand, it doesn't need downgrading. Now trying every single one of the firmwares ..... :eek:
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] persona78:
The rollback rom just unlock your cust so you can flash some other rom...

Do you flash the update.zip or the update.app file?

.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plikenz:
I tried UPDATE.APP, because if I get it right, UPDATE.ZIP is only flashable through TWRP, is that correct? I'm doing everything with the 3 button method, anything I try just fails. And upload to SD takes so long that I'm starting to lose patience... Maybe there's some custom ROM that can be flashed through UPDATE.APP? Maybe it's possible to make (convert) one? I'm new to this phone and I swear, this has got to be the most annoying phone ever... I've never encountered such problems with Samsung or Sony phones. Thank you for trying to help because I don't have a single clue of what is going on, since it just says "get help".... Yea, I'm trying to. What about the Vodafone firmwares, why is it telling me that the version is incompatible with my current software? Does it mean that I have to find another version of Vodafone firmware or that I have to use something other than that?
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] persona78:
Wait!

The update.zip can be flash with the 3 keys to, only need to be in internal or external memory. Only need to delete the dload folder.

Try rollback update.zip, you need it to unlock cust.

Tell me if you made it.

.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plikenz:
Could you explain more thoroughly please? I tried changing UPDATE.APP extension to UPDATE.ZIP just by renaming the file, put it on a blank SD card (deleted dload folder), but no luck... I read somewhere that this phone could have had a custom firmware installed and that's why it won't budge? Is it possible for example to install TWRP or any custom firmware like AICP and etc. with this method? Then I wouldn't have any issues. :confused: :(
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] persona78:
Don't change the extension... Don't extract the update.app from the zip, just let the zip like it is and paste it into internal or external storage, is a flashebel zip and works like update.app.

.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plikenz:
The contents of the zip file are usually a dload folder with some pdf and word files and something like that, so, I need to have just the update.app in the zip file?
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] persona78:
Hi!

Doesn´t have a META-INF folder inside the zip?

.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plikenz:
Hi, no, it just has a dload folder and a pdf file for instructions. Do I need to rename the zip to update.zip with all of its inside contents or do I just put the update.app file in an archive?
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] persona78:
If don't have mata-inf file is not a flash zip...

I will check it tomorrow, ok?

[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plikenz:
Hi, I've tried alot of them, just googling and downloading everything that says "ALE-L21", eventhough I'm not even 100% sure about that. For example this one:

Huawei P8 Lite Rollback Package (ALE-L21 C900B500, Android 6.0 to Android 5.0

I don't think this is the right one, Update.app doesn't work, these zips don't work, persona78 mentioned something about META-INF folder, but I can't find a rollback package like that anywhere, I saw some firmwares with that folder inside but they don't seem to work. If I knew exactly what I need to find and do then there would be no problem at all.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grazmeister:
You P8 Lite is dual-sim, correct?

If so, try this link https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73230358&postcount=2

Put it on a folder inside the SD card:

1- Try creating a "dload" folder with just the update.app AND the update.zip

2- If you have space or with doesn't work, delete the previous and just put the update.app AND the update.zip in the SD CARD main folder.

Let us see if you have luck :)
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plikenz:
Yea, it is dual sim. The last time I tried b895 it said "incompatibility with current version". And the others just don't seem to work. But I will try once more the way you told me.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] HVMan01:
Hello All,

So I got my Axon 7 the other day. Using one of the guides from this site, I started to flash it using (Win 10 64 bit) ADB to Lineage OS. Long story short as per the title, it didn't end well. I'm no expert but I've managed to flash a couple of phones before with success. I did read up and I was careful.

Obviously the point of this post is, I've not had any luck trying to recover it and now my phone is bricked. Its got stuck in DFU mode. My pc recognises it when connected to USB (hold Vol+/Vol-, insert USB), it shows as Handset Diagnostic Interface (DFU) (Com7) in the device manager.

I've not been able to anything with it. I made up and used a deep flash cable but it didn't work.

Can anyone recommend a good phone fixer in South of England that can sort my phone and get it going again?

Thanks for the reply. That very post by controllerboy was my guide. I think it was at step 20 or 21 things went awry. The method you suggest, I've tried many times and believe me I've read many of the rescue threads. Perhaps I've missed something somewhere. I've used Zadig and I have WinUsb drivers installed.

I've tried the Axon7Toolkit, QPST and Miflash software.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] HVMan01:
Thanks for that. Curiously I'd read that post before, but before I got to this stage of "brickness".

I don't have my A7 with me right now, but I do remember on one of the countless connections to my pc over the weekend that I did see "? device" in response to an "adb devices" command.

That gives me hope! Thanks for your memory jogging post : )
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Sn8K:
Sorry for the delay .. not often on my computer theses times ...

Yeah, was talking about that one. Or even another way, is to use warranty as I did when my A7 went down the same way as your.

To be sure, i've relocked bootloader (fastboot should always be accessible in your case by powering phone + Vol Down) and described my problem as a sudden boot failure after a failed OFFICIAL recovery update.

They've trusted me ... And changed my motherboard.

A bit late, but I guess u tried to bring your phone to edl mode. And changing the drivers via zadig.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] HVMan01:
Ok so phone is off, as in no red light on. Both vol buttons pressed, connected to USB.

Device recognised sound, shows as Qualcomm HSUSB QDLoader 9008 com4.

Minimal ADB and Fastboot running in administrator mode, entered ADB devices, none found. Tried ADB reboot, got error no devices/emulators found.

Started QFIL, can't run meta build with .mbn as no mbn files in anything I have to flash phone with. Can do a flat build but this just fails with the same errors as in #15.

Have looked at supposed "fixed" sahara/QFIL fail problem vids on YouTube. No answers found there.

So just stuck right now.

Hello all,

Before you start, I just want to say my phone isn’t fixed as of this post.

Search for the driver, “Qualcomm HSUSB QDLoader 9008” and download it.

I went here

http://xiaomitips.com/download/qualcomm-qdloader-usb-drivers/

Save it, unzip it, keep it handy.

As I said in my first post (start of this thread) "My pc recognises it (phone) when connected to USB (hold Vol+/Vol-, insert USB), it shows as Handset Diagnostic Interface (DFU) (Com7) in the device manager.

At this stage, in Windows Device Mangler , where you see Handset Diagnostic Interface (DFU)

Right click it, select UPDATE driver.

then BROWSE my computer for driver software

then PICK from a list………

then HAVE DISC

then BROWSE, go to where you’ve unzipped the driver.

On my PC “E:\Downloads\Qualcomm_Drivers_QDLoader.zip\Qualcomm Drivers\Qualcomm\Driver”

Look for sers.inf, click OPEN then OK.

In the list find the one that ends 9008. Click NEXT, then YES, watch install, then click CLOSE.

Phone should disconnect now.

Unplug and holding Vol+/Vol- in, reconnect USB to phone.

Device Mangler now should show phone in Ports & Coms on a port number.

My PC shows "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (Com20)"

Having got here, I'm still not beyond the errors as I described #24

Hope someone has more success than me.
