[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] bpodnar:
Which build version of win 10 you are using? Someone told me that build 17.09 is problematic with lot of apps and I have newly installed win 10pro on 2 PC's one is 3 weeks old and other is 4 months since I installed it. I think my drivers are installed correctly because the phone is regulary detected in Mi flash tool and in fastboot when FASTBOOT DEVICES command typed. If I type ADB DEVICES in CMD then just getting "List of devices" but empty space under it no any serial number or whatsoever. Maybe ADB is problem?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
No idea which build, I have automatic updates enabled, so probably the latest. Try this:

1. reboot phone to fastboot mode

2. in cmd type "fastboot getvar all"

3. paste the output here
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] bpodnar:
I will, thank you!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] majamee:
If you still have issues and if you think it could be a Windows and/ or driver issue, you can also try to live boot into a Linux system.

Where to get Linux ready prepared with adb & fastboot: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bbqlinux/files/x86_64/ (recommended is MATE or CINNAMON if you are used to Windows)

Then you can easily create a pen drive/ usb drive with it using the tool etcher and then boot your computer from it. ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] bpodnar:
Here is text document with GETVAR ALL result

edit: Just to mention the device is detected with ADB DEVICES command, USB debugging is ON, OEM unlock is ON, permission for PC access is granted on phone but again cant flash stock firmware through Mi flash or fastboot command.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] coremania:
If your phone gets no updates for 5 months, man, you should do something, that's not normal. You can wait another 5 months but it will not solve your issue .

---------- Post added at 16:22 ---------- Previous post was at 16:16 ----------

Did you update your adb&fastboot ? Install latest minimal adb&fastboot to be sure.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Supersad:
Maybe it's because it's a new device.Its just a day old....
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] stork321:
Well for me that's not normal. I've got my Mi A1 last January 3 and after the initial set-up of things, the phone immediately pops up a notification of the december patch update (still nougat). As for now, I am waiting for the January patch update to come (now on oreo).
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
I have the very same variables, so it should be ok.. :confused: What error exactly do you see when you try flashing via fastboot?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] bpodnar:
Problem solved - it was issue with Mi Flash Tool version 2017-7-20 which is avaliable for download on MIUI forum where instructions for MI A1 fastboot flash are. So I downloaded older version of Mi Flash 2016.08.30, extracted ROM with one and only 7zip (winRar isnt good for that) directly to C: folder with short name (tissot) without any spaces or dots and stuff. Mi Flash was also extracted to C: So guys I wanna thank you all for your advices, my device is finally on stock Nougat and waiting for Oreo OTA. Cheers!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] SevenSlevin:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] kam1kazze:
Hi guys,

I'm trying to understand if this (thread title) is possible and which is the right way.

I would like use OTA for this, but if not possible also manual update is good for me (but how? MiFlash?).

Issue: I have to install a Tasker plugin as system app: Nougat+ Tasker Tethering Control and this should change my system partition and not allow me to update by OTA, is it right? ...or my misunderstanding?

I would like also use app like AdAway that need read/write access to system partition to change hosts file.

Question: So what is the best way for keep phone rooted, allow system modification ant at the same time preserving OTA or stock rom update?

Thanks a lot for all suggestions and answer!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] kam1kazze:
someone? any suggestions?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
Install that tasker app as Magisk module and allow systemless hosts modification in Magisk settings. This way you won't have to modify system partition directly.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] ltf_195:
Two ways to update,

1. OTA

2. Miflash - which you have to download the rom. normally you have wait few days or week after OTA release.

No matter how you update, it will restore stock system. Thats mean you have to reinstall above apps everytime you update.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] kam1kazze:
Reading this page: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md

So if I write my system partition, I think OTA don't running anymore.

note: for install system app (write sytem partition) as I need, of course I'll root my phone...there isn't other way, isn't it?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] ltf_195:
Correct

If you already modified your system partition, follow this step:

1. download and flash stock rom from here.You can keep your data if you want.

2. Follow this guide to root using magisk https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-mi-a1-oreo-8-0-disabling-ota-magisk-t3728654

Magisk will root your phone without modified /system partition.

Good luck
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] kam1kazze:
So if I well understood I have to follow the posted guide https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-mi-a1-oreo-8-0-disabling-ota-magisk-t3728654 each time I flash the rom...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] ltf_195:
Correct. But if you follow the guide, your OTA will work again, so you dont need to download and flash every update.

When you successfully follow the guide, make sure you disable automatic update in developer option. When update arrive, follow this step https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] kam1kazze:
Don't work OTA beacause I have write the system partition...this was my question
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] hacker1:
In the description on the play store it says it only requires root, do you really need to install it as a system app?

If you really need to install it to the system partition, do it as a magisk module (as was said before). That way you don't need to touch your system partition and you can still do OTAs (if you follow the magisk ota guide)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] kam1kazze:
It need the root permission to install the app in system partition...this allow tasker plugin to enable/disable wi-fi tethering. Since nougat, tasker cannot do this without this plugin :(

I don't know how to transform it to a magisk module.

Thanks for all information

With two, do you lose data as long you don't check the clear data?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Khalidbenraiss:
Hello,

My note 8 cannot connect to mobile data. Whenever I activate it, nothing happens I don't get any mobile data signal what so ever. I also checked the APN's configuration with my Mobile carrier and they were unable to solve it.

It should be noted that my note 8 has a stock Canadian firmware and I am using in Morocco with a Moroccan sim card
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] athris:
did you check with your morocco sim does include data from your plan? Also which carrier are you using in Moroccan? it could be either your plan doesn't include data plan or the carrier doesn't have the UMT/LTE band for your note 8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Khalidbenraiss:
Yes, I still have around 1gig of data available and My plan includes data.

My service provider is INWI and they do have LTE band since The same sim card worked on my previous J5 2016 normally.

I forgot to mention that, After activating mobile data and roaming, I checked the sim status in the setting where I found that Mobile network state is DISCONNECTED and Roaming is not running.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] athris:
Can you test if you can make call or text? if so, i will suggest double check the apn. I checked your carrier in Morocco , you should be able to get HSPA data connection in Canadian Version Note 8(N950W) unless you select (LTE ONLY).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Khalidbenraiss:
I can confirm that I can make phone calls and send texts without a problem.

I checked all options and none worked .

As for the apn, the configuration message was sent to me by my service provider itself.

I performed a factory reset that didn't help too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] athris:
Since you can make the call, I don't think it is something wrong with the phone. I checked there's only 1 hspa band and none for lte available for note 8 from your carrier. I guess either double check with the carrier for the apn or maybe the phone just can't pick the b1 hspa signal from your location.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Khalidbenraiss:
I won't mind HSPA since there's not much difference between LTE and HSPA in Morocco. I doubled checked with my carrier today and they told me that I have to wait for 48H for them to look into the issue.

The weird thing is when I used an app called LTE Discovery I found that I do have a signal for LTE band 3 yet I have no internet.

It is mostly the service provider's fault, I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
They might be similar to AT &T where they need to recognize the device IMEI number before allowing full data access onto their Network.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Khalidbenraiss:
I have never thought of it till now. I'll definitely mention this to my carrier ASAP.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Khalidbenraiss:
I checked with my service provider. Unfortunately, they don't need to recognize the IMEI number.

They tried to shift the blame to my phone saying that I might have a faulty device. It doesn't make any sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
First thing I'd do is research and see if it's true what your service provider told you. It might not be. Second use another sim from another network in your device. Third borrow someone else's IMWI sim and use it in the note 8. Also check APN again.

Did the phone receive 4G or LTE prior to coming to Morocco with the same device?

I also don't fully understand on your earlier post about the phone status not being roaming. It shouldn't be roaming status if using a local sim card.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Khalidbenraiss:
I still haven't tried another INWI nor another Moroccan sim card.

I have no idea whether or not it received 4G Before coming to Morocco since I won the phone from a Dbrand's giveaway. I think it's brand new.

Shouldn't roaming be active when you activate it in menu ?

I turned on mobile data roaming and nothing happens. Check the picture for details.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
I turned off my Data Roaming and the Mobile network state remained the same - connected. I'd think " Mobile network state " has anything to do with roaming being on or off unless one is roaming out of their Network onto another network.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Khalidbenraiss:
I turn them on and off yet their status remain disconnected. I understand why.

I really don't understand how to get mobile data working on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Hopefully someone else will try and assist.

In the meantime

On the phone dialer enter *#0011# and *#2263#

Also, the mobile network state will be disconnected if you are connected to WiFi.

Should get the following screen.View attachment 4398676View attachment 4398677

Also make sure that the correct APN is entered and active / selected.

Then try and go to the connections menu and toggle lte/3g/2g... to 2 or 3 g and back to to 4g to see what happens.

Also make sure Mobile Data is turned ON.

Go-to settings then search for Mobile Data.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Khalidbenraiss:
Thanks a lot for your efforts.

It turned out that my service provider does not support the bands on my note or something.

I tried an other provider's sim and that worked like charm.

Again thanks alooot for your efforts.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
That's weird as when I checked Frequency check website with device sm-n950W and your service provider INWI , it lists it as fully compatible. The other Moroccan networks were not though.

This would be the second instant whereby Frequency check has got it wrong. First being Samsung device I used to own.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Khalidbenraiss:
I checked the frequency myself and I came to the same conclusion.

I was only told today by an INWI agent that devices from Canada and USA always face the same issue.

I triend orange which didn't work too. Gladly, IAM worked as it is the largest and oldest network in Morocco.

From now on, I won't believe what websites say till I see for myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Glad it's all sorted.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sbtwister:
New SM-T820 owner here, looking for advice especially from other Tacit Foldersync users.

I'm in need to sync files from my Synology NAS to the microSD card inserted (Samsung EVO Plus Micro SDXC 128GB Class 10 U3).

I normally use SMB on port 139 on my other devices. For example my Note 4 which has a Samsung MicroSDXC 128GB EVO Plus Class 10 U1 card.

I'm on Build NRD90M T820XXU1AQI2 (Android 7)

Tacit Foldersync version is Folderync PRO v2.9.12

I have set permissions within Foldersync on the root of my external SD card.

Problem is that the SMB (and even FTP/SSH) protocol fail to transfer files beyond number 10751.

My SD-card was preformatted ex-FAT, reformatted in device and after failing sync again, formatted on Windows 10 as ex-FAT.

I had this problem many times before when installing foldersync on a new device and the solution was (don't remember for sure -either rooting or) formatting ex-FAT.

So, here ex-FAT is not the solution.

If it were permissions on the SD card it would not transfer a single file. The number 10751 is significant. In the past it also stopped after 10751 files.

Foldersync works fine on my Note 4, which is rooted Android 6.0.1 N910F XXS1DQI5.

My SM-T820 is not rooted.

Is there anyone who might know what's going on ? Support on this app is rather non existing.

It's such a wonderful app, I really can only recommend it, but I'm stuck now and I fear the only difference except build and android version is the fact that one is a rooted device and the Tab S3 isn't. But even then, I did not instruct my Note 4 to use root permissions on the SDcard within the settings of Foldersync. So the config within Foldersync is 100% identical.

Could it be U3 vs U1 ? The rooting ?

Another thing worth mentioning is that I can set permissions on the SD-card, but I cannot revoke the permissions from the SD card.

Revoking permissions gives me following error : It then says that "Make sure Documents provider is available".

Guide: How to upgrade/downgrade/restore

OFFICIAL

firmware on your V30.

Requirements:

LG V30

Windows PC

Official Firmware file for your V30 ending with .kdz. You can find it here https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development or here https://lg-firmwares.com/

Bootloader

does not

need to be unlocked. All variants can be flashed using this method.

Only fully official, LG signed and blessed, unmodified firmware can be flashed using this method. No custom roms or recoveries!

Lets go:

Download and install LG USB drivers from here.

Download and install LG UP 1.14.3 from here.

Download .dll file for our V30, attached at the bottom of this post.

Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model

Create folder called "common" and unzip the .dll file inside of it.

Connect the phone to your PC

[Optional]Open Device Manager and verify if under Ports you can see LGE Mobile USB Serial Port (COM...) to make sure the LG driver was installed correctly and the phone is visible.

Launch LGUP.exe

Select process called "UPGRADE" Warning: Selecting Refurbish will wipe user data.

Select the firmware file.

Click Start!

Your phone will automatically reboot into Download mode and upgrade firmware.

There's no need to do a factory reset afterwards but you can if you encounter any issues ofc. (I haven't)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Moriatier:
Thanks for the guide.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] astikv:
thank you. I would love to try the MIUI ROM on this device.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mad Medik:
My apologies if I misunderstood. Is this a way to apply alternative ROMs even on models with locked bootloaders and the ADB Commands stripped out such as the H 933? I know you said already that it will work on any variant but I had lost hope that this model would ever allow modding of the rum. I just want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding the intention of your guide.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] padmanek:
It clearly says in the title of the thread and in the requirements that you can only flash full official (stock) firmware using this method...

Nothing custom. Everything needs to be RSA signed by LG.

Like above, only official (stock), LG signed and blessed firmware can be flashed using this method.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mad Medik:
Oh well, wishful thinking amd my mistake. I read it as upgrade or downgrade (eg various images) or restore stock.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] astikv:
I meant in 1 future.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] thenoble06:
Out of interest, will this work on a rooted V30. I seem to struggle to get LGUP to boot my phone into download mode. Is it because I have twrp as recovery?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] padmanek:
It will work as long as your /laf partition is in tact. It containts the DL mode. It has nothing to do with /recovery partition where you most likely flashed TWRP.

Just so I don't brick my device, I have an H930DS, therefore any firmware marked for this model (https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h930ds-firmwares/), regardless of region, would work on my phone? My phone is currently on HK region version, can I flash the Indian firmware for the same model?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Probably not but feel free to try it and let us know how that goes.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] padmanek:
I have no idea about cross region firmware flashing. I have not found any official documentation about how each of LG UP's functions exactly works, it's all user experience here on XDA. Supposedly, every region has firmware signed with different RSA key which is verified upon trying to flash and it will reject you if it's a mismatch. Also I doubt Indian region has the same bands as HK so you might cripple your mobile signal if you happen to be on a band that is not supported in Indian firmware. Personally I don't recommend trying it but its up to you :) Please share your experience if you do :P

I know for sure that all H930 sold in EU, regardless of what carrier can be flashed with the same H930 unbranded EU firmware, which removes all carrier bloat and branding.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
[MENTION=2731629]sasc[/MENTION] Check the RSA signature of your firmware and compare it to the firmware you want to flash. If they match, then it won't brick your phone. Your phone may not work, but at least your will have access to DL mode. If they don't match, you will definitely brick your phone..

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] spacebar2011:
India and HK are both global GSM regions. The bands are the same, just like Europe.

Could you please tell us what's the best way to check the signatures?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] spacebar2011:
Okay.. I bring good news! You can definitely flash any KDZ as long as the model number is exactly the same. I flashed the HK Reginal kdz on my H930DS from India and I now have working VoLTE and VoWiFi.

In short, get the CORRECT kdz of the desired region for your model number, use LGUP, Upgrade option, and let it do its thing. Simple. This keeps the device official and under warranty.

PS - Please backup all data before doing this. Even though it is just an upgrade, play it safe. Just in case!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] manishvy:
Thats great news ?. One question - to get VoWifi working, person at the other end should also have VoWifi? Or we can call VoWifi to VoLte. I have never tried VoWifi so just curious to know.

So...kind of didn't work.

I used the H930DS marked India in lgfirmwares. The flashing process went fine, except for the phone getting stuck right after the last restart and the screen went blank. Waited a couple of mins and forced a restart using the power button..booted fine but all data was gone. Thankfully i did backup some stuff, but not all..

Checked the Software version, it says V11i-GLOBAL-COM, which is obviously not the India version. And, I still dont have Volte!! So, this was futile..

Can anyone point me to a certified H930DS India KDZ?
