[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfsbane58:
I think Google's Pixel will benefit greatly from its association with LG. Apple should not be the only beneficiary of LG's research and development. LG puts out very good hardware. The problem with LG is that they don't support that great hardware with great software. Yes, the software that they provide has features, but the fundamental implementation to support the hardware is lacking at this point in time. Their camera and DAC/Amp are a perfect example... The camera software is very aggressive in its processing, and their native music player leaves a lot to be desired in terms of functionality. Additionally, their marketing and sales strategy are the anti Apple/Samsung. They really make it hard for their base clients to get their products as they are being initially released, specially unlocked phones. They literally had their clients looking at other phones because the LG V30 was not available in certain major markets, so consumers were opting for a Samsung or Pixel2. Part of this may be carrier business driven, but if this is the case, its not helping them at all. There are no initial advantages to buying a phone through a carrier. You are not getting a discount, for the most part, from the major phones. The carriers are simply spreading the cost of the phone over a 24 month period, and locking you in into their contract. And consumers are increasingly wanting a level of independence from the major carriers.

IMO, a Google Pixel/LG partnership would greatly benefit both parties. Both can learn and profit from such an association.

Does anyone know where you can find customized today screens that might include not just the weather, but sports scores/updates and maybe some news headlines? I'm not really interested in all those today screen apps that are program launchers sporting a dozen little icons.

I'd like to push my 8525 (with regards to it being the "ultimate" data/information device) because I know it's capable of doing more than I currently have it doing...

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Steve Sharp:
Hi,

I don't think you will find a pre-built screen set up like you want. Most of the people here have created their own using various today screen plugins. If you want news feeds there is a program called pocketrss that will do that, etc.

Check this post for some custom screens and then contact the people who have included things you are looking to incorporate in yours, for suggestions on how to do so.

thats not permanen, at last for me, maybe work on 7.8.23, but after update via ota or fastboot, after reboot or reset factory on setting imei unknow again

my solution right now, using custom rom, with august security and push modem file from latest stock rom for update baseband
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlosorta:
It works, but if you want to update whole system, you have to backup partitions modemst1, modemst2 or EFS in TWRP, after you backup that, flash the new oreo firmware without data, if dont starts, recover the EFS and try again, if dont, do factory reset and if you haven't IMEI yet, restore de EFS, the problem here is, if you restart your EFS would be corrupted, so you have to restore the EFS and force update to the lastest update with EFS already installed, if youre lucky your EFS never be corrupted again

I followed this procedure some time ago and haven't had issues. However today I flashed a new Oreo image and suddenly my IMEI was 0 again.

I restored my EFS partition using TWRP and now everything is fine again, except that my smallband version is back to 953_GEN_PACK-1.... which I think is the version that shipped with tissot_images_7.8.23_7.1. I wonder if it's a problem to run with an older smallband version?

While I did finally manage to restore my IMEI, I found your "guide" really confusing.

You should without a doubt write it better, so people might understand it better as well.

I've been doing custom Android stuff for around 10 years. While I have never developed anything, I have gotten as far as to the point to where I have had to edit files and input hex.

You should _really_ mention when and how you use the files you provided.

You should also provide the "how-to" on editing the files.

I finally got it to work, but I had to read three different guides before I got it.

Still.. Thanks :)

'file open failed C:\my.qcn' when trying to flash qcn in QPST . I tried to put the file in different paths d:\, d:\QPST, d:\QPST\bin, d:\QPST\Documents, c:\. Also when trying to flash original unmodified qcn file you provided, i get the same error. Also tried to run Download tool as administrator.

It has nothing to do with path, because when i download the .qcn file from my phone (via the QPST Download tool), and then flash it back, the flashing is performed OK. Would please someone upload here a .qcn file from his phone, and also prepare it so that IMEI numbers can be edited. Thank you.

is your phone detected at all in Windows? You can check with USBDeview https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview.zip
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] kaott:
it is recognized in usbdeview.

but it also sees my SGS4 and my PSP that aren't even connected.

i tried on XP, WIN7, WIN10, many computers, no ones sees the MI A1 USB MtP.

only thing i have OK is FASTBOOT. it always works. but no USB MTP, no diag.

thats why i ask for a TWRP flashable QCN (i can go to TWRP by fastboot)

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] nnssxx:

5>Install patched boot image with command:- "fastboot boot patched-boot.img" Kindly change name and remove quotes

6>If your mobile restarts then goto step 7 and if not you need to download tissot image of mi a1 v.7.8.23 and install with mi flash tool

7>On mobile started install Supersu and enable superuser

8>Connect Mi A1 to pc With USB debugging on

9>open powershell window and enter the command:- "adb shell" and then "setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb"

10>After doing this Download Mi a1.qcn file from internet and then RB soft tool (cracked)

11>Your antivirus may tell you about RB soft but its not to worry go ahead

12>Open RB soft, click on login, on the "qualcomm" tab and place your imei1 and imei2 and put this file in "QCN"

Then click "REPAIR".

Go back to the RB Soft folder and look for the file "injected.qcn", you will use it in the QPST.

13> On your mobile phone, dial *#*#717717#*#* then connect to your computer (put in developer and debug mode).

14>Download and install QPST 2.7 build 422 Qfil. Then open the qpst configuration, it has to be like this.

15>Then go to Starts Client / Software Download. Click the "restore" tab.

In "QCN File" look for the file "injected.qcn" that you had created before, click "start" and you're done. After you're done, restart your phone.

How to update without losing your imei again!

For those who can't retain the IMEI on a custom rom or after updating, I figured out it is because the EFS is corrupted.

To me it was so corrupted that I wasn't even able to install any custom rom.

I did the following to restore my EFS file:

Using twrp I wiped Data, Internal storage and system

I used the restore boot and EFS files from this tutorial to restore boot and EFS

I flashed (using fastboot mode, not EDL) the stock android 7.8 image provided on this thread

I was able to restore my IMEI using the dual imei writing tool

After doing that, I installed Lineage OS 15.1 without losing my IMEI, everything OK
