[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] XLNCDK:
What to do?

Hi guys!

I have mi 8 and recently got OTA android 10 and some time ago miui 11.

Today I found a 2 GB zip file that seems to be same thing. Android 10 and miui 11.

Screenshots will be attached.

Will you guys please tell if I have to keep this zip file?

Do I have to delete that?

Or, I have to install it?

In that case... even if I extracted the files, I didnt see an install file.

PLEASE can you clear this problem?

THE NAME OF THE ZIP FILE

miui_MI8Global-V11.0.3.0. QEAMIXM_785bed5822_10.0.zip

THANK YOU!!

I had an Android 10 update this morning, and ever since the person on the other end cannot hear me at all. No way to fix, reset etc.

I don't think I can roll back right? My only solution might be to unlock BL and flash custom, because I cannot wait for a patch to fix this.

Anyone have this same issues? Is there an alternative to going custom? If I do go custom what is the closest to stock that actually fixes this?

Hey, unfortunately..I am buying a Mi 8 pro. There are no custom roms for it but its remarkably similar to Mi 8. Can I flash a Mi 8 rom on it after ajfew tweaks? If yes, then can someone guide me into the right direction?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Defees:
I'm confused, I unlocked my bootloader, dit a clean wipe etc, and I tried to install ZenOSX, for some reason even after 10 minutes it wouldn't boot to android. I tried wiping the system etc again, and install it again => failed to open Zip. (via sideload)

same story with the AOSP Pixel Experience. I can only install Lineage OS , which will only boot me back to Recovery, or I can boot Revenge OS completely, but it's kinda weird and not my preference.

any thoughts on why I succeed with Revenge, but fail with AOSP based roms?

My phone is running the latest version of PE+ and has been randomly turning itself off and on for a while. Recently it did it again and now I can't unlock the phone, even after entering the PIN. I also can't decrypt data in TWRP. Can anybody help?

Hey i have a little question, i know that there's a lot of Gcams made for this device, but why are the selfies Res only 5mpx? I know that the effective sensor of the selfie camera Res may be 5mpx adn not 20 as they advertise, but i think they could be better if the gcam could natively take them in 12mpx. I have a redmi note 5 whyred and it can take 13.2MPX selfies, i compared them and in the Mi8 colors and quality are better, but the redmi note 5 whyred crushes it with the definition and natural sharpness it has in 13.2MPX...

MI8 with older twrp and older LOS suddenly bootlooping. it is unlocked.

If I hold Vol Down, it flashes a fastboot logo for a few seconds.

If I hold Vol Up, it flashes the TWRP logo 3.3.1-1 for a bit longer than the fastboot.

If I hit 'adb devices' just right I can see the device for a few seconds.

I cannot shut off the phone.

Any help?

don't know what I am doing, but

./fastboot flash recovery /home/poiu/Downloads/t.img

Sending 'recovery' (43588 KB) OKAY [ 1.614s]

Hello all.

I got tempted to use a different ROM to upgrade my Xiaomi Mi 8 to Android 11 (PixelExperience). After reading here and there on the forum to get a better picture, I realized that I could possibly brick my phone. Digging further I found out that some devices appear as Global Releases but actually are modified Chinese releases appearing as Global. So I went to check my device on Xiaomi's Website

https://www.mi.com/global/verify#/en/tab/imei

The result I got was the following:

Thank you for choosing Xiaomi!

However, the device you purchased is not an official global version and user experience may be affected. Next time, please purchase the official global version of the device through officially authorized channels.

So my question is this: Falls my device under the "could be bricked" devices if I try to put another ROM on it or is that the case if I try to restore the original ROM to my phone by using the Global ROM on a modified Chinese Version that appears as a Global Version?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

this is the very first time here at XDA Developers Forum that I do not find clear information about rooting a smartphone. I am talking about this Nokia 3 updated with OREO 8.0. Only a lot of confusion reading your posts, sirs. Nobody that is telling if rooting this model is possibile or not. So... can anyone says if it is possibile and how to do that, in a clear and simple manner?

Thanks and regards!

thanks for your reply. I already read this thread.

So since I am on OREO, it seems I have firstly to downgrade to Nougat. Can someone please tell me how to do that, posting links to the official 7.0 rom, the software and a short guide? Somewhere I read you have to use OST, somewhere else SP Flash Tool...

Hello again...

I am trying to downgrade my Nokia 3 8.0 to Nougat, in order to unlock the bootloader.

I have searched a lot for an official 7.0 rom... nothing official... I tryed to follow this guide:

https://xdaforums.com/nokia-3/development/nokia-3-official-firmware-india-uae-t3674320

Managed to install and get a working copy of OST. Connected and start flashing the rom NE1-147I-ind-0-00WW-B02.nb0 (the one I thought it was the earlier one, since nobody wrote "7, 8, or another number" in the file name). OST got stuck at "Reflash service bootloader..."

Can anyone please write a clear guide on how to proceed to root a Nokia 3 OREO that was never ever unlocked before (i mean with bootload never unlocked)? I am going crazy, really...
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] SkaboXD:
flash UAE version of nb0 if IND doesn't flash, that's Android 7.0 May 2017 Security Patch, unlock and lock bootloader there and apply OTA updates from notification up to latest update. Then follow guide.

Is there someone that can help me?
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] SkaboXD:
which ost la version you have?
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] jimgordon:
I finally managed to downgrade to Nougat 7.0.

Now, in order to get root, do I have to unlock bootloader first? Can I obtain the code only via a request to the_laser (that didn't answer me) or can I use an online tool ?
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] SkaboXD:
you need to unlock bootloader first, and you can PM code i will send you key, use only OTA through notification, don't use OST LA for this guide.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothyhunter55:
Hi

I had an international/europe H815 on which I was happily running custom roms until it decided to die on me. I had a shop take a look and they replaced the main board and all was good until I tried to unlock to flash nougat only to find out that they replaced my unlockable european board with a perma-locked taiwan board. Went back to the shop and basically told repair was sold as seen, no refund, no exchange.

So now I'm stuck with 5.1 on a locked Taiwan board. I want to get some updates on but not take the risk of the shop adding any dodgy code to the firmwares (malware, keyloggers etc.)

Can I still flash a stock rom from LG? If so what is the highest version I can go to officially? I'm not too worried about root, its a nice to have but I'd rather be on Nougat.

If any malicious code has been added, will a factory reset/cache/data wipe plus an OTA update 100% remove it?

Thanks

I have a question about VPN and certificate installation. My phone is H818P and I'm on stock android 6. If I want to set up a connection to a VPN (home server), the table with the settings covered by the unlock pattern - I type the pattern (correctly) but the table with settings disappears - this is repeated all the time. Same problem for android 5.1.

My other problem is installing the certificate for AdCleaner - the installation requires a pattern + pin (the pin needs to be created whenever I create a pattern). When installing a certificate, I enter the pattern and pin correctly, but the pin returns my phone as faulty and the installation does not take place. Same problem with Android 5.1.

Android 7 (v29a) is working correctly. Unfortunately, I can not use this version because it is not possible to shoot video at 60fps (V10 camera port does not work). Is there any possibility to shoot in android 7 videos at 60 fps - some hack stock applications?

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] s3irios:
Hello to everyone... I had a very bad case of "unluckiness" recently. I bouth a Lemax2 from Banggood. Received it defective (the earpiece was defective), i sent it back to Banggood. I was in constant contant with the banggood service team, where they repeteadly told me that when they receive it back and see that it is defective they will send immediately a replacement Lemax2 phone and also refund the postage fees of the returned phone.

That was till yesterday. TOday i received an email saying that it is no longer in stock, so they can;t send a replacement. Ofcourse i went kinda frenzy, because they knew i wanted a replacement and they COULD have hold onto one for me (i know they're dropshippers and they don;t actually have stock themselves, but since they knew our dealing, they could have told their seller to hold one for them...)

ANYHOW they agree ofcourse to a full refund, but the thing is i don;t want a refund but a Lemax2.

I went to search for another shop to buy it from (i need it to be sent via triangle shipping to skip the customs of my country, as it did with banggood) but wherever i searched (except aliexpress they dont support the shipping method i require), theres NOWHERE to be found. Some sites report it to be SOON stocked again, others that it is discontinued.

The funny thing is i already bought screen tempered glass protectors and cases, which i already received...

My question is finally if anyone knows and has some info about it, is it really discontinued? Did they pull it from the market so they can promote the new x920 and x850 leecos? Or is it something that happedned before and it went to stock again?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Bill_G:
The device was initially released in May of 2016. So, yeah... it's most likely discontinued by now, and given LeEco's finiancial status at moment, even if it weren't they may not even have the resources (i.e money) to manufacture them...
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] s3irios:
Thanks for the answer, yes i know the history of the brand etc, just seemed weird.

I spoke with a seller in aliexpress few minutes ago, it's well stocked for them (and they're also dropshippers)...Weird stuff...

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] giaur:
Ofc discontinued as well as entire company does not exists anymore. There won't be any new LeEco phones, company is dead already
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] s3irios:
I think you're wrong. A lot of guessing going on here. Ofc it's not dead. They just released 2 more phones X850 and X920. An there's a 18:9 sr phone coming as well with flagship tech on it.

My question was if someone has actually some info that he/she may have stumbled upon, cause it looks to me their pulling the Lemax2 so they can push the forementioned phones...
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, x850 and x920 tbh aren't official releases. From what I see they are engineering samples much like they did with the LeEco LeMaxPro (x910) hence it isn't promoted on their website anywhere.

There's also no official source code release for x850 and x920 so unfortunately software development of custom ROMs is limited in that regard...

I'd recommend looking into Le Pro3 as they're also a darn good option. Otherwise? Xiaomi devices have insanely good software development community so they're always a healthy option as long as you avoid MediaTek SoC devices.

Le Pro3 AI is like a Le Max 2 but FHD screen and camera isn't as good for taking photos as Le Max 2.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] s3irios:
Thanks for the reply man, appreciate it, thought the funny thing is, LePro 3 is ALSO out of stock. (!!!) While i can find both Lemax2 and Lepro3 in Aliexpress , i can't get them from there cause of custom importing issues (they want full price of the phone, as tax :eek: )

Lepro3 AI is MTK and as a previous user of MTKs' i got kinda sick of them... The ROM love i saw on Lemax2 along with the very good specs and awesome price, made me fall in love with it.

Banggood and gearbest out of stock too...

Sorry for mentioning shops, i hope i'm not breaking any rules by doing so, it's just only these shops offer the shipping method preferable.

My luck i guess!
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, whoops! I meant Le Pro3 elite haha my bad yeah avoid AI edition it is poop MediaTek. :silly:

Hmm if that's the case where you need to buy within the country? Sorry man I'm unsure what to tell you then... If no one will stock it anytime soon? You might be better off looking at a different device.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 does look really good and reviews good and since it's a Xiaomi device with Qualcomm Snapdragon? It'll get really good community software development support. It might only have 3GB of RAM but that's not so bad of a loss as I've never felt my Le Max 2 really benefitted from 4GB of RAM over a 3GB phone but maybe that's just me...

But I see what you mean, those vendors do show LeEco devices as preorder so maybe they are eventually going to restock?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] TheLastCanadian:
I would also suggest considering Xiaomi. Got my mother a Redmi 4A, it was only $135 cad at the time.... and I'll be honest, the level of quality for the price is actually very surprising. They're certainly worth looking at.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] s3irios:
thank you both for your time guys. I acknowledge Xiaomi too, not too fond of their design, but while never had one myself, i can see they're pretty solid devices.

I will be waiting for a bit to see what's going on with Leeco Max2 or Pro3, cause they're at an awesome price for their specs, and they do have awesome specs and rom support. Just hit me a bit weird that they both went out of stock to most if not all known chinese eshops, while Aliexpress sellers still sell them. Either we can expect a move from leeco (surprising knowing the state of the company atm, but still..) or there is no stock left...
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
