[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] stangri:
I've got my mi pad 4 from geekbuying, it has the bootloader unlocked and has a "global" ROM.

I've been reading the thread on the xiaomi forum: https://en.miui.com/thread-3196420-1-1.html where people reported bootloops after trying to root the unlocked mi pad 4 with non-official ROM installed. Not sure if they are missing a step on installing the no verity/encryption zip from recovery or it's that specific zip is a problem, my question is -- what do I need to check to ensure the rooting (I'd like to use Magisk) would go smoothly?

I have the tablet set up, would hate to wipe it and do it all over.

Thanks!

Video playback issue (720p 60fps, speed: x2 / 1080p 60fps).

Lost frames.

If download problem video and play in MX Player, then playing great (no frame loss)

Why?

Not sure if my experience will help but here goes.

1. I purchased a Multilanguage version of Mi Pad 4 Plus Lte 4/64 from Aliexpress, however this store now only has the Chinese version.

2. It came to me unlocked with some kind of MIUI installed but I wasn't able to identify the rom.

3. I tried to install TWRP 3.2.3 via these two tutorials. I tried this first -Sep's TechClass and then LR.Team. I renamed the img file I got from LR.Team and copied it in the folder from Sep's TechClass and flashed it. The recovery installed correctly and I could boot into Recovery mode with no problems and also was able to root in Recovery under the Advanced option tab. However, I could not boot into system.

4. I then mounted the storage through Recovery mode and transferred this Xiaomi.EU stable ROM to the device storage and flashed it via Recovery. It was then able to boot into system just fine.

5. I went back to Recovery Mode and enabled Root through Magisk.

6. I rebooted into System and updated Magisk to the latest versions. I'm now running v18.

7. Set up Mi Account with Find my Device on and verified via phone number.

8. Set up my tablet and everything is working fine. I do sometimes get Power App has crashed when installing apps but everything else works. Double Tap to Wake, Fingerprint Sensor. Face Unlock. SafetyNet checks. All Google Apps, GPS, Wifi, LTE, SMS is available but call function doesn't work as reported here. Netflix works but highest resolution is 960x540 not FHD.

---------- Post added at 01:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ----------

As a follow up to my post above:

I have set up my Mi Account on this device. When I inserted my SIM it asked me to sign in to my Mi Account and I did. I currently have Find My Device turned on and phone number verification active (same number as the tablet) but when I check here:

Settings > Mi Account > Account Security > My Devices, it recognises the device as Mi Pad 4 Plus but says SIM card isn't installed or activated. I'm attaching a Screenshot.

Any idea how I can get Mi Account to recognise that this device has a Sim Card installed?

Additionally, I got this device with bootloader unlocked so I never had to apply for unlock permission through the Mi Account. Is there any advantage to applying for unlock permission (in case I need it in the future, for other devices/phones or if this device gets inadvertantly locked). Is there any one who has done this?

My Mi Pad 4 has 9.6.26.0 Chinese stock ROM which has only English and Chinese languages. Current ARB level is 1. I got OTA update notification for MIUI 10.2.1.0. I haven't applied that update yet. I want to know what will be ARB level with this MIUI 10.2.1.0 update. Someone can check and share ARB level information about MIUI version 10.2.1.0 or 10.1.10. You can check ARB level with following fastboot command:

Dead mi pad help please

I wonder if anyone can help with my mi pad 4.

A few nights ago I put my pad on to charge before bed as it was very low when I woke it wouldnt turn on.

I've since tried charging it for 24 hrs, holding down power for a few mins and holding down power button and volume up and power button volume down for a few mins with no luck.

In fact the only evidence of any life is the tiny blinking light when plugged in.

Any help would be appreciated as it'll take ten weeks to get it fixed and banggoods customer support on returns leaves a lot to be desired .

Device critical unlocked: true

Hi All!

I bought my Mi pad 4 online, and was planning to put OMNI or Lineage on it. Now I checked device infos with fastboot and I see that the device is already unlocked. (See screenshot). I did not do anything to it, not even set up a google account. What does this mean? Has my device been hacked? Is flashing a new rom enough to fix that? And how would I relock it in case I ever want to?

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] kaiser2000:
Hi all,

Just got one of these second hand and it's loaded with the Chinese Rom. Obviously this isn't ideal so I've been looking into how to reflash it with either the EU ROM or one of the custom ROMS here.

I'm a bit out of touch with the process in general these days (Have a Note 9 myself at the moment and no real need to for the last few generations of Samsung IMO), but in short I gather I need to:

- Install ADB (done - I used the autoinstaller from here) and drivers if needed

- Download MiFlash tool

- Download the ROM

- USe the tool to flash

Seems simple enough, BUT any links I can find for the tool are either very outdated (2014) or look to be from sites I don't think I'd trust!

So....

- Can anyone post working trustworthy links to the flash tool and ROM (or recommend one I should try - LIneage maybe?)

- How do I check if the bootloader needs unlocking. Note this is the WiFi only model so I gather I need to request it from Xiaomi if it's needed?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] Infecta:
So Planning to buy the Mi Pad 4 as a tablet to play rhythm games. 8 days ago at the time of writing this, I made the mistake of buying the 2019 Galaxy Tab A 8.0. The Mistake was I never really tried the unit and the touchscreen is quite limited.

Here's the issue: youtube.com/watch?v=U0X_c-tLrTE

From the video above, You can see that I'm doing fast alternating taps on the screen and if I was fast enough it will register as a drag gesture. It's more common when you alternate tap more closer. This is intolerable for playing rhythm games at a high level.

So my question is does the Mi Pad 4 have the same issue on the touchscreen like on the 2019 Galaxy Tab A 8.0?

Hey all, I'm new to this kind of stuff but I've been reading about it and thought I could do it but nope.

I have the mipad 4 (wifi-only and it came with just chinese and english if it matters) and had the last available update. A more savy friend advised to unlock bootloader, install a custom recovery (Orange Fox) and then the rom (pixel experience), and from the online guides I've seen it seemed alright.

I managed to unlock the bootloader, and install the custom recovery, but then when I enter it, it said I needed a password, some of the guides (and the friend) said to ignore it, I did, then I tried to wipe the stuff, but it said it couldnt, do to the encryption, the thing is, I didnt have a password on anything.

I got confused I started googling some more, and found that I had to wipe or format data partition, again I couldnt do it because of the encryption. My friend also doesnt know what happened so....

Did I break it? What can I do now? Can someone help me out?

Edit: I posted the same question elsewhere, and someone suggested TWRP instead of Orange Fox, I just tried it and it worked, so if anyone has a similar problem, try TWRP.

Hello

I managed to brick my mi pad 4. :(

Tried everything I could find here and on youtube.

I manage to get into TWRP - but it says no OS.

I cannot install anything as the install folders are empty (probably cleaned it by mistake)

I can get inside the fastboot

```

~ fastboot devices

~

~ adb devices

List of devices attached

```

adb is empty

I own a mac so there is no mi flash tool

I tried to use the XiaomiMiTool V2 - but its brick mode is not ready yet, and the normal mode require me to enable USB debugging - which is impossible with no OS installed.

I tried flashing images (lineage/stock miui global/ stock miui china) using the flashboot:

```

fastboot flash sdcard ~/Downloads/miui_MIPAD4_V10.3.2.0.ODJCNXM_371ac63e9e_8.1.zip

```

but nothing happens.

original was china

Any ideas what can I do?

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] pnin:
Bear in mind the device will come with either a Chinese or a fake global ROM (=OS, albeit English will be available for the UI), most likely with the bootloader already unlocked (I got mine via Banggood and got it like that).

Question:

I've just ordered Mi Pad 4 on AliExpress:

- selected "Global"

- under "Global", among Germany, etc. I selected "USA".

What US providers would work with that? For example, MintMobile that uses T-Mobile network has compatibility tool and:

- Mi Max 3 LTE - "Compatible" (and yes, I bought it - also "Global" - and it works fine in T-Mobile network, in 4G)

but

- Mi Pad 4 LTE - "Not comptatible" :-( - are those two models so much different in LTE/4G bands?

QUESTION then:

which US providers will be OK for Mi Pad 4 LTE?

I need it very much - as it's practically the same size as my (very outdated) Nexus 7 (2013) -

all other phones/tablets in USA (any brand) are either much smaller or much larger (like say Samsung 8.4"),

please help!

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Teknoshamn:
I'm now on my second V20, which just had the vibrato motor die on it, but otherwise works perfectly. My ONLY bones to pick: it can't be rooted because of the last OTA update to Oreo, and if you happen to test a lot of apps as I do, it's a power-hungry beast. If I were to upgrade at this point, I would probably go back to a Note 9, since my V20 replaced my rooted Note 4.

The thing I love most about this phone, however - and its a "biggie", for me - is the fact that it's the last flagship phone on the market with a removable battery. I don't care that it's already two gens behind, simply because it quite capably does everything I need it to do, including music player, photography and video recording, casting, and NFC functions, so until someone comes out with an embedded battery, feature-rich phone that REALLY wows me, I see no reason to upgrade. Hope this helps.

Cheers
