Hi Fellow Members,

Seeing many post on the development threads in all section which are not completely relevant with the development but sometime due to normal bootloader unlock, FRP unlock, root issues, even normal discussion on OTA etc which flood the development thread sometimes and if a new users come up with any issue or any question, they need to repost as the thread is long and extending multiple pages and they could not find the solution or answer of the same in all those pages, even though answered few times but due to more number of pages or just because new users are not aware of how search works on XDA they repost the same thing.

So, I though of creating this new thread so that we can discuss all development related and little off topics related with ROM in this thread and keep the development thread clean enough so that it is purely for development related questions and really critical and important stuffs with sufficient logs etc.

Please continue discussion on any ROM, recovery, TWRP etc in this thread and lets keep the development thread clean enough.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IneptVirus:
Hello all, I have a rather difficult problem due to lack of knowledge I have on the device.

I have my old Z2 which I have recovered after someone I lent it to (not me, I promise) attempted to 'fix' the root on the device. The last time I saw the device it had PhilZ recovery and a custom ROM on the device.

I got the device back again after about a year apart. First thing is first, I factory reset the device from the bootloader. Oops, now it doesn't boot into rom correctly...

Well time to flash a new rom right? I use recovery to "wipe to prepare for new rom". I attempted to flash 'ressurection remix' rom or something similar for the Z2 via sideload. Only, the bootloader refused to sideload flash because "this zip is for [insert list of z2 devices, one of which I know this phone is], but this device is a leo". Huh? Quick bit of googling and I find a thread where apparently leo means the phone thinks it is a z3? Not great.

Well maybe since we are here I should try to get the device to be running TWRP which I am more familiar with. Now I'm not exactly sure what I did here, but the Z2 really didnt like it. I think I went into fastboot/flashboot (im not sure on the difference, which is probably why it is kill), and attempted to use adb/fastboot to flash a boot.img, as well as a recovery.img, in whatever order. Nothing seemed to happen at all.

TL;DR: So onto the present situation. I am no longer able to boot into recovery. The light will flash green for a tenth of a second and then phone will die. I can however hold volume up+power+USBcablein to make the device go into bootloader?/fastboot?/flashmode? Not sure which, but my computer beeps for a connection and the Z2 has a constant blue light, with no screen. adb does not see the device, nor does fastboot, although I am updating my drivers to see if this helps.

What should I do from here? I'm not sure what flashtool is, but I think this is my next step (although every google result says something different...). I'm not sure where to download this from because all available sites look dodgy.

Device info:

It is a UK device that used the carrier ORANGE in 2015.

It was running PhilZ recovery

It was running KK ROM

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Little Snevil:
The first thing you had to do before you did all that craziness, was to back to stock using flashtool. There are guides here, guides on Google, and guides on YouTube about how to using flashtool. It's very more easy than flashing a custom ROM and all that stuff. Just download the FTF KK firmware, then root, then recovery, and then download FTF of Marshmallow and you will be done.

It's been 3 days ago that you posted this. I hope you solved the problem. This is my little contribution.

Excuse my English, it's not the best.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IneptVirus:
Hi Snevil,

I havent fixed the issue yet because I really had no idea where to go from where I put myself. Do you know of a good place to download Flashtool, each link I find is either expired or seems really dodgy.?

[General Questions and Answers] wasowski02:
Hi,

My device is not one of the powerfull ones. It only has the Snapdragon 435 and 1GB of RAM (about 250MB reserved for graphics). When I just run the system with nothing open there is abou 250MB of RAM free (there would be more but I moved Signal (private messenger I also use for SMS messaging) to the system partition and now it runs as a system app so it's not killed). Then I start Tidal (music app), and there is still about 200MB left and when I start Messenger Lite it ends up with about 150MB of free RAM. And some time ago android decided that 150MB of free RAM is not enough any more and it kills Tidal while using Messenger. I have no idea why this happens, because everything ran fine since I bought the phone and it started about 3 weeks ago. Is it something I can fix?

Why don't you do this;

Open Outlook\Import export\ Import from another File\next\Personal folder file (.pst)\next\under option,"Replace duplicates with items imported"\next\it should open up this file location........

C:\users\Name\appData\local\Microsoft\Outlook.

Every few days it back itself up, so you should be able to restore your contacts.

It has happend to me again also.

First setup Windows Mobile Device Center to sync Outlook with the items from the phone. It did... Later on I changed it to sync my phone with Outlook.

It trashed some of my contacts...

Thank GOD (and I'm not even religious) that they where saved in the Trash folder of Outlook.

I now make a daily backup of my contacts using PimBackup, it will only save 7 backups (I've set that up)... So if I or some virus created by Microsoft will delete contacts I've got them backuped...

Personally, I think it's really crappy that the software doesn't ask what data to update when syncing. I prefer to manually select to keep or discard contacts peace by peace than Outlook changing them without a questions asked....

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] tekka19:
above post I quote to make conclusion, also it`s happen to me (Tianma)

1. It`s rareeee IPS has burn in issue, so we need technical information about this instead of made assumption

2. It`s happen not only Tianma, BOA also

3. Replacing LCD/claim guarantee not fix your problem,

4. Mainly shows in Custom ROM, but recently in MIUI also (MIUI 9 beta)

I check

5. The problem in Nougat ROM since I don`t face in MM

6. I get the some report in other phone/brand facing the same issue in IPS Nougat

7. So, no`1 it`s best answer, we need technical explanation!

If Replacing Not Gonna Do Anything, What Can We Do To Prevent? My Friend Got The Same Phone But Not Happening To Him
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] tekka19:
I`ll try

Maybe try above suggestion but I don`t try it yet

Some phone has and other don`t, same like one ROM good to other user and other not, the behavior using the phone is different

But try ask your friend to use Lineage 14, In my case 98% can reproduce the issue, but check after some times not immediately, I think open the page in white background long enough will reproduce the problem. Also check it in reading mode

Using MIUI MM ROM fix the issue permanently for me, so far.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] ThisIsRipunjay:
I Told Him To Check.. He Didn't Find Any Problem In LOS 14 And AOSP Extended.. But I Got Problem In Both This ROMS.. MIUI Fixes The Issue.. But I Get The Issue On MiUi Too With Whatsapp.. When I Open Whatsapp And Use It For Some Time.. Then I Go To Chrome And Close All The Tabs.. Then I See The Whatsapp Burning Visible In Chrome.. But It's Not Visible On MiUi As On LOS Or Other ROM..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] tekka19:
Thanks to take your and your friend time to test it, some this issue consistent to several owner but some is not

I bold your post above, that exactly happen to me.

But do you use MIUI 8 MM or MIUI Nougat base ROM? did you use Limitless theme now or which theme?

If you use Limitless than we closer to the cause, since It`s happen to me while using Limitless theme, now I`m testing (leave MIUI MM to test it), using MIUI 9 and use default theme, and see after sometimes if the problem is consistent or not

Also, maybe we can try some suggestion on previous post to switch the the color to Cool.

I`m still doubt the LCD is defect if software can eliminate the issue, the problem maybe some LCD are not compatible with some setting in Android, especially with Nougat. If I`ve time and resource, I`ll try LOS 15 based Oreo, if the problem still there or not.

Fyi, for me this issue start occurring since I start using customer ROM (nougat), most people get the issue also but since not permanent it`s some of them just bear it
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] ThisIsRipunjay:
Happened To Me On Both MiUi 8 (Nougat And MM).. I Haven't Tried The MiUi 9 Yet.. And I Used The Default Theme It Comes With.. Yeah.. I'll Try Those Suggestions.. But Not Sure If That's Gonna Work.. When I Bought The Phone, I Didn't Notice It.. But After I Flashed Some Custom ROMS, I Started Noticing.. I Can Bear This But It's Really Annoying To See Creepy Burning.. Feels Like We Are Using Some Low Quality LCD.. And It Ruins The Android Experience. I Flashed LOS 15 Once But Didn't Spend Much Time... Do Let Me Know If You Flash..!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] aku_baik:
I have the same issue, go to service center and they change a new one because mine is still under warranty. It only took a few hour to change a new display. So my phone look brand new again and the issue solve. Hopefully it wont happen again in the future since my warranty is almost finish.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] ThisIsRipunjay:
They Changed Mine Too.. But Still Happening :( .
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] tekka19:
Please wait few days, I`m checking mine also, now in MIUI 9 beta. Using default theme.

With MIUI MM no issue in my display, if you have it, then there is level of each issue, worst issue need to get replacement maybe but since you already do it, I don`t know how to say

when you send it to SC, do the issue keep visible in the phone, since most the issue will disappear once we do restart

For shame, Xiaomi. No wonder they're able to charge around 9,999 INR or less for the Note 4 series (but you gotta wonder why considering how crappy the LCD panels used for this phone are). I believe the LG G5 has the same issue, but when it was launched it was quite expensive. Now it can be had for the same price as the Note 4. In North America, at least.

I believe Mi A1s with the Tianma panel have the same problem. Is it ghosting or burn in? It's so rare for a modern LCD panel to burn in that I can't believe it...

I recently ordered the 4/64 GB mido and it's on its way to me right now from Hong Kong. I wonder if my screen will start ghosting (or worse, burning in). It's always a lottery with Xiaomi. Dunno which camera or LCD panel you're getting. Hopefully screen replacements are cheap. I saw some LCD panel replacements at Fasttech.

Does the burn in issue only affect certain batches of Note 4s? Well, at least is seems to go away on a MIUI ROM. So strange. Doesn't make sense to me, tbh Is there an explanation as to why the issue goes away on MIUI?
