I'm getting my mi mix 2 tomorrow. I already own a mi5 which i unlocked bootloader when i bought 8 months back. If I'm using the same mi account linked to the same phone number so i still need to apply for unlocked again ?? In short the permission to unlock is dependent on the mi account right?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Yeah,it's pretty straightforward,just use the latest desktop Mi Unlock tool & AFAICT,you'll need to use a VPN that can connect to Chinese servers.

Upon the advice from another member here,I used Plex VPN on both my desktop & corresponding Android app.

I'm not sure which one did the trick,but,as most here,I was getting the dreaded ERROR 10008 pop-up,until I used a VPN (FWIW,I selected the Shanghai server,worked on the 1st attempt)..

Once accomplished,you'll get the 72 hr notice.

You don't have to wait for the SMS notification,just start checking w/the Mi Unlock tool & VPN sometime close to the 72 hr. mark.

If you're too early,you'll get a countdown. No worries,re-checking early does not cue you back to the 72 hr mark.

Welcome to the club! :good:

Anyone know of a way to make the phone ask for finger print or passpin to be put in airplane mode or power down? So if my phone gets stolen the theif wouldn't be able to keep me from finding it.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rubb:
My unlock application was approved (it seems so) I guess. I went to check on the status and I could download the xiaomi unlock/flash tool from there.

I open the program and when I started to unlock my phone, it said that I still have to wait for 48 hours. Am I doing it right guys?

After unlocking the bootloader, I have to install twrp to be able to flash the global rom or else?

Thank you!!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Yeah, you're good to go. Having a countdown is an indication that everything is going well.

Just repeat the steps you took to make this connection when the time comes & you'll have your bootloader unlocked.

It doesn't re-cue your countdown if you check again before the time comes....

I have unlocked it and wish to change the branding screen away from O2 and onto Three UK or another neutral start-up screen. I suspect I may need to root the phone.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] mkdr:
I just can't get it to work. All guides or videos I saw say you have to:

1. power off

2. hold volume down + power

3. let go when logo appears

4. press volume down + power again and hold

This doesn't work. It does nothing but to enable some weird "safe mode" which breaks everything when the phone boots.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Stransky:
Hold vol down and power, release power while continuing to hold vol down then hold power again while still holding vol down.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] mkdr:
Erm... this brings up a menu asking me to restore to factory (delete all user data)? yes. no. and when I press no, it just boots normally again. How to enter recovery to wipe just the cache partition?

First thing I totally find funny is, that everywhere people say "hold down volume down and power and then let both go and press both again" which is obviously wrong. You have to just let power go, like you said.

Then this menu actually should appear, right : https://i.imgur.com/YDVhaLk.png

But it just shows this: https://i.imgur.com/G0E6xGO.png

Yes it does, but if you have TWRP properly instalked hitting yes twice will boot into TWRP.

Maze Alpha RED State (Bootloop) solution:

I have a second alpha, so I have made it again step by step.

SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1728.00.000.

1. unlocked bootloader

2. flash TWRP

3. rooting

4. fastboot locking bootloader

result: red state and bootloop.

countermeasure:

1. flash Maze_Alpha_V05_20170816:

SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1728.00.000.

download agent: MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin

Menu point at SP flash tool -> Download:

Download without bootloader.

Scatter and rom -> Maze_Alpha_V05_20170816

klick download.

Connect USB cable.

result: ERROR: STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER (0xC0010007)

or

second attempt: ERROR: STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL (0xC0060003)

if the popup window with the error notices emerges,

Be quick

The popup must be close promptly and press again download or format. It must go very quickly.

thats it.
[Android General] EndlessFall:
Wish you created this thread in the Maze Alpha section, would be nice to keep all topics together.

In your original post (before you changed it), you mentioned that you lost your IMEI info. This is because you ran SP Flash Tools in "format all + download" mode, which damaged/overwrote/wiped the "NVRAM" partition (the place where IMEI, MAC addresses, and serial # are stored, among other things). If you look closely, you'll see that your serial number was also reset, and you probably have a NVRAM error in your list of available WIFI networks.

No amount of wiping or flashing will fix this. To fix, you need to restore the NVRAM partition from a TWRP backup (if you have one), or use the official MTK "Maui META" tool:

https://androidmtk.com/download-sp-meta-tool

Then, follow this tutorial:

https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-12328.html

The only change to the tutorial is that you can opt to autosearch for the CustomAppSrcP file on your device, instead of browsing to the buried version in the unzipped official 08/16 ROM.

After all this, install the 09/13 update, which should resolve the WIFI NVRAM error and provide consistent static MAC addresses for Bluetooth & WIFI.

Maui META can also be used to reapply your specific serial number, if you know it (see tutorial above).

Also:

1. To make sure that your PC can communicate with the Alpha and to avoid errors, the official Android SDK USB drivers and USB debugging are not enough, especially on a dead/bricked phone. Make sure you install the MTK USB drivers (chipset 65xx works for 67xx):

installation & tutorial:

https://tehnotone.com/windows-10-mtk-vcom-usb-drivers-for-32-64-bit-drivers-installation-tutorial/

or

http://thefirmwarehub.com/install-mt65xx-usb-preloader-drivers-in-windows-7/

Auto installer:

SP Flash Tools errors & fixes:

https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-439.html?tid=439

2. Do not flash TWRP as you mention in your post! As dreambo originally stated, there is a touch screen response issue yet to be resolved when installed to the recovery partition. Use fastboot to boot the TWRP img when needed.

I suppose that if I flash a different kernel to try it, and decide to switch to another different one, every time I have to revert to stock kernel before to flash another one. I know that to go back to stock kernel you should dirty flash the original rom zip.

Am I right?

Very often when I did this, after I experienced some kind of errors specially in Google play services or other app FC.

Please tell me if this is a valid alternative to go back to stock kernel : can I extract boot.img from original rom zip and flash it through TWRP or Flashify app for example?

Or can you suggest other?

Right, this is logic. Magisk have to be flashed as last zip everytime if needed, correct?

[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Giansi:
I have a question.

Built in battery setting there's a nice performance slider.

So we can basic control kernel settings with this one I guess.

What is modified when changing slider position?

In case we use another kernel with another kernel manager, what happens to this inbuilt slider?

Will it override kernel manager settings, or nothing or what?

I'm not requesting support for another kernel, I just want to understand how this nice setting works.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mukesh22584:
It's just rampup cpu clock and nothing while in kernel manager apps you can set max and min cpu frequencies, also if you use any other kernel, Also other kernel act same....
[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lekiaM:
You probably get also an logcat Error:" failed to optimize battery profile" As a matter of fact, the inbuild LOS battery optimization profiles are not working anymore with a custom Kernel. But the reason why most Developers leave it like that is, because it can mess things up with the ROM itself. Responsiveness, App Launching Speeds etc etc.. That's one of the main reasons i guess. Also they don't want to fool around with LOS.

Long story short, leave it on "Balance". It won't harm the performance of an custom kernel.
