[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Yarda770:
All FW I tried before were global dev and I never had issues.

I got a bootloop after updating to 8.5.24 china.

Fixed by reverting to previous global, I thaught it was myfault for trying china FW on a phone that always ran global.

BTW after the revert back to global on the first boot neither of the 2 SIMs worked and after another reboot I had to restore my location services and recreate my fingerprint as the old one stopped working.

When 8.5.24 global became available here, I flashed it and again it works ok.

Maybe it was something I did wrong, IDK. But the china FW didn't work for me.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
Really can't explain your troubles with these files mate...

I've tested every one of them and had not a single issue, otherwise I wouldn't have released them.

If you keep having problems like that, I would suggest to format data and clean flash a ROM.

Sounds like something else is messed up maybe.

[MENTION=7008914]Phil_Smith[/MENTION] It's great to have someone like you in our Mi 5 community. Hope you will continue helping us. Cheers.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
Thank you very much for your kind words!

I really appreciate that a lot!

[MENTION=5618141]Yarda770[/MENTION]

It might be that there is something about Lineage and China fw, that doesn't work well, as I just saw that [MENTION=455439]bgcngm[/MENTION] explicitly named 8.5.10 Global as the required version.

I'll have to check that a little further, but for now maybe it's better to flash Global fw on Lineage and Lineage-based ROMs (although I've been on crDroid with Floppy the last couple of days and were on 8.5.24 China since I released it, and didn't have issues).

I'll report back if I find out something new or more.

Edit:

Nah, seems to have not been on purpose that "Global" was added to the minimum fw requirement for LOS.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Yarda770:
Wow, thank you for caring enough to actually bring this up with bgcngm.

Just to clarify, it happened only once. By that "again" in my previous post I meant that once back on global the phone worked fine again.

I didn't try any other china FW. But for all I know it could have been a corrupt file (I checked the hashes on PC and then transferred the file to mobile via wifi - I know I shouldn't, I was too lazy to search for a cable..)

The other troubles (some lost radio/security settings) happened on the first boot after the bootloop, so that might have been due to whatever went wrong on the bootloop.

Anyway the latest global works fine for me, so I'm good.

Thank you again though.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:

Updated OP with new version 8.5.31 Oreo based!

Baseband is from 24th of May.

Caution!

This one is taken from a closed MIUI 10 Alpha build.

Please use with caution and at your own risk (even "at-your-own-riskier" than usual!)

Always feel free to skip updates if something makes you feel uncomfortable.

And better do so if you're uncertain whether it does.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
Updated the OP with new Oreo based version 8.6.4!

Again this one is taken from a closed MIUI 10 Alpha build (so, use with caution and only if you feel like it)!

Baseband now shows 31th of May!

there's new Global Stable ... 0601
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
Gonna upload tomorrow!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
OP is now updated with new Nougat-based V9.5.3.0 Global Stable!

I can't test it myself right now, but everything should work okay.

Still, many thanks for feedback when someone tries it!

Edit:

I have removed the link from the OP because many reported bootloops.

Thanks to [MENTION=8105513]aittamattia[/MENTION] for reporting!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] aittamattia:
The new global stable has been pulled from the MIUI website, I think firmware 9.5.3.0 may cause some issues if installed..
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
You're right. I'll add a warning next to the download link
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] aittamattia:
Yes, I am. :laugh:

Hehe, I guess you really are.

I think I'll better also remove it from the OP.

Thanks for the info man!

Hi,

I'm newbie here. Now, i'm on latest global dev firmware (8.5.24). I want to ask about changing firmware from global dev to china dev, is it possible?. If it possible, is there any issue or problem may occur?.

Thanks,

Regards.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
Just do it. Should be fine.

But what advantage are you expecting?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] andreyana29:
No, I just want to ask before testing china firmware for the first time. I never used it before, so i doubt to try it or not. But now, i get the answer & pretty sure to do it.

Thanks for helping.

Regards.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
No problem.

Just always check my second post.

I try to always keep it up to date.

When you know the fw version is high enough, china or global doesn't matter.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
Every day at this moment a new alpha or beta miui 10 version comes out.

I could always upload the firmware portion of these, but I'm just not sure how much sense that makes.

For now, I will wait either for a new baseband in these that sounds promising or your vote to keep pumping these updates up.

I'll take either of these - it's your choice. Just tell me.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] HairyPriest:
I vote for updates only with a new baseband, and thank you again Phil for the work you're doing to save us hassle and keep things clear! :highfive:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
Thanks mate! You're not a bit no other end. I'll keep appreciating your feedback, as I was ever since! :highfive:

is global or china version ?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] pascalis:
error 7 while flash the firmware

why i got error 7 while flash the firmware?

i tried to install the oreo based firmware but it showed the error 7 message (8.5.24 and 8.5.10)

but when i tried to install the nougat firmware it seems to be ok

help. thanks before
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] HairyPriest:
You need to update your firmware to at least 8.5.10 (i.e. the one from 10th of May 2018 or later)

And you need TWRP 3.2.1-1 (3.2.1-0 or before won't work properly)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] pascalis:
i updated my twrp version and everything works properly.

thanks:)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] joric:
It's chinese of course.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] gjooro:
Thanks for doing this. I find 8.5.24. global dev to work really good. I guess the changes to modem were made because mobile network switching works really fast for me. (for example edge to LTE after coming out of low signal environment like an elevator, had problem with that on older versions).

I'll also add that I had success with 8.5.24. even on nougar based rom (jdc 7.1.2). It fixed black screen proximity sensor problem, and I haven't encountered any problems. Now I'm back on oreo (cosmic os) and all good as well.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
I decided now to activate the link to V9.5.3.0 Global Stable in the OP again and to add the warning that some reported bootloops.

As far as I know these only appeared when flashing the complete ROM and not the firmware zip here alone.

If you should experience a bootloop, please report it here, but don't panic.

Simply hardboot to recovery (by holding "power + vol up" until the Mi logo appears and then only holding "vol up" until you enter recovery) and flash another firmware version in this case.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
Still baseband from 31st of May, but I decided to load one up from a MIUI 10 Beta build (we only had Alphas before) from today (8.6.12 Oreo based).

Still, I won't spam you and the next one will probably be one with a new baseband.

hello guys!

a few days ago i bricked my phone and since the official download page is down i had to try

different roms with different firmwares but i had problems with battery and network signal.

i found a rom thats is based on latest miui china 8.5.24, everything works well except signal and network speed.

i know that here it said that these firmwares are for los,omni,and other custom roms

my question is :

since my rom is miui custom based on china dev 8.5.24, can i flash this 8.5.24 dev firmware or other global firmware having the same number?

can this solve network issues?

thanks in advance

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Cst79:
Hello,

I am an LG fan (mainly due to the always-on display and the reliable tap to wake/sleep functions which I find tremendously useful) and since the G7 was launched (too big of a phone and too small battery for my needs) I decided that the G6 may actually fit my needs better due to being smaller and having a bigger battery (and the perfectly flat screen of the G6 which allows me to use an invisible tempered glass protector).

But I'm worried about battery life, especially stand-by. I need a phone that lasts 2 days with like 2-3h of SOT (I don't use the phone much but I really need it to have low standby drain). From what I read until now, the standby drain is a bit of a hit and miss with the G6...

I was wondering if the new Oreo release brings any improvements in standby drain ? Does anyone have experience with it ?

Thanks !
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Moldeb:
Idle battery drain mainly depends on the apps you use and whether they sleep ok or misbehave. I can use my G6 for 2 days...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] barcode99:
call me pessimistic, but i never had better battery life after my phone was updated to the next release of software. It could be partially because battery life was depleted after long period of waiting for updates. I can say that with Samsung S8 and Sony and HTC10, it was definitely a case. I do not expect miracle with G6 either.

will be happy if someone can show me otherwise
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Percy247:
Has anyone with a Korean G6 that has actually been updated to Oreo noticed any changes in either battery life or standby battery drain. Quite a few people are hoping for improvements in standby battery drain as this was a known problem with Nougat 7.0. If you could also state how old your G6 is, as some peoples phones may be over a year old and be suffering from battery degradation. My 9 month old H870DS, set up how i want it, loses 20-25 percent of battery in 8 hours overnight. This phone must be charged daily overnight or topped up regularly.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] usersky007:
You may have some bad apps. I never loose more than 3-5% over night with wifi on.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pham_dang:
i have G600L from Korea, and i can assure that Oreo has not had any improvements on standby drain. Well the good thing is that it doesn't get any worse.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jshames:
That has been my experience with other phones as well. Even if some new battery saving technique is built into the new OS, it is more than compensated for by the bloat of the new OS and updated apps, which have more services running in the background.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jshames:
On average, people in this forum have been reporting idle battery drain of 2-3% per hour. However there is quite a bit of variation both day to day in the same device and between devices. You have been one of the lucky ones, most likely having nothing to do with what apps or settings you do or don't use. 2 seperate threads have been devoted to dealing with the problem, but nothing consistently helps. Most likely either a hardware issue, like the radio cycling hi or low power, or something in Nougat that LG might or might not fix (according to the post above they did not...)

Regarding "misbehaving" apps-- basically almost every useful app has that potential, since so much functionality of the smartphone revolves around the ability to multitask or run in the background. So if you want to leave the phone with only stock apps, install nothing, and block all syncing, reminders or notifications, I'm sure you can modestly reduce the idle drain, but so what? It negates the whole point of the smartphone... I remember I could get a whole week out of my Nokia 3150 candybar phone :)

I'd be interested to learn which apps you have and what settings you changed.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Moldeb:
I loose about 3% over night with WiFi, BT and location = high precision. I have and use many apps (>120) but most of them are productivity tools, VPN, etc. I use only ad free and many paid apps e.g. Maildroid pro for email. Maybe ad free is one of the reasons as I'll have less background activity. On the other hand my Voip client (Grandstream Wave) is always on and I still have no idle issue...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Krysdyan:
Did you have problems with battery drain on Nougat? How much did you loose over night with Nougat, how much now with Oreo?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pham_dang:
I debloated pretty much every uneccessary app (i'd say 60-70 apps) when i was in nougat and so as in oreo. I've never experienced drastic battery drain on either version. I never leave wifi on when i go to bed, so I'd say I loose around 1% overnight (in nougat as well as oreo). So there u have it, don't expect to much from Oreo, you're not going to have an immense boost in terms of battery, nor in the overall perfomance of the phone. Still, I'm very with this phone
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jshames:
1% the whole night or 1% per hour ...?

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

Interesting that there are such huge differences between users. I do have a few ad supported apps, maybe that explains part of the difference.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Krysdyan:
I loose around 5% with wifi on and have pretty good signal on wifi and mobile data. I listen to music for 30 minutes before sleeping with external bluetooth speakers. But BT is disabling automatically after that.

Hello everyone! how do you reach certain levels of autonomy? I have a few apps on my smartphone and yet I dream of your values, how do you do it? do you have any special settings? have you run any particular command in ADB?

thank you
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] laoxiaohai:
screen saver is the issue

setting-->display-->screen saver. Turn that off if you are still in andriod 7.0.

I did that after saw someone's post, and my one year old LG G6 back to normal battery condition. Now I can get 20% remain by 10PM at night, after start using it since 6AM, with regular web browering, gaming and video viewing.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jshames:
That's strange. That setting is supposed to apply only when the phone is plugged in
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Stenlius:
10 months old H870DS, HKG firmware, no battery degradation because with nougat I charged it at 1.5 to 2 days. 2 SIM cards standby, 4G networks, active use of the phone and I was getting around 3h SOT with a 20-24h standby. Now after Oreo I'm getting max 2.5, under 3h SOT with the same 24h standby. I did a factory reset after upgrading via LG Bridge, and did a upgrade with LG UP and kdz V20a - no change at all. I suppose that the system is draining more battery than it should under use.View attachment 4526726
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] fegitoli:
I use my phone quite a bit just before going to bed. One night, I left it on with music playing in the background at around 80%, and when I woke up 6 hours later, it was at 63%. From what I remember, on Nougat, my phone would drain to around 50% under the same conditions. Definitely some sort of improvement. I do not have a screenshot to back this up, so you'll just have to take my word for it. On both Nougat and Oreo, I disabled a lot of bloat and useless system features using LG Package Disabler.

TL;DR: It has somewhat improved.

Hallo Everybody.

Tomorrow my Moto G6 will I arrive and I want to order a SDCard.

Does it matter which one I choose?
[Moto G6 Accessories] manos78:
Yes and no.

From my personal experience: Current SDCards are prone to suffer errors. When internal hardware fails, you tipically get a read-only-card. And I experienced it with different brands, from Samsung to Kingston. So my suggestion is: purchase the bigger that you can pay with the maximum quality. Don't waste time with speeds. The duravility is the most valuable thing. And try to: read all you like from the card, but write only the necessary. The lifetime is based on writes.
[Moto G6 Accessories] kemoti:
I use the same Samsung Class 10 128 GB memory card on the next third phone for almost 4 years. I'm happy with her.
[Moto G6 Accessories] spirosbax:
What if someone wants to use the adaptive storage feature? Won't that cause the phone to do a lot of write operations ?
[Moto G6 Accessories] manos78:
Hi, this is the exact same model that just failed to me last time... after only 2 months of work!

I only recommend *PRO* (made for video capture) SD-CARDs for intensive writes!
[Moto G6 Accessories] kemoti:
It's weird. This card I wrote about works without any mistakes. I formatted it myself after buying on a computer on FAT32 to be sure. There are also no problems with video recording. But ok, maybe you have not had luck.
[Moto G6 Accessories] manos78:
The problem with SDCards is this: anytime one card is different from another one, even the with same model. The reason is because in fact any SDCard is a collection of flashable blocks... and

all cards have errors

. In the comodity range of cards, the number of over-provisioned blocks is small. Moreover the active blocks aren't heavy checked. And the SoC that controls the card doesn't have robust algorithms. The result is, after some time doing writes the card starts to fail... until it deads.

In the other hand, SD *PRO* cards are very different. You can write a lot without fails.

So, if you only need to

READ

from a card (for example, with a MP3 player), then you can use

ANY

card. But if you need to

WRITE

to it (for example, in a smartphone; or with a digital camera) then use

ONLY *PRO*

cards.

I comment this after years of dead cards. Belive me! :cool:
[Moto G6 Accessories] Bluemgt06:
And the faster the better, if it isn't fast enough the phone will tell you (when doing the card as internal storage)
