Xiaomi should show customer oriented policies.

If Xiaomi is not able to give priority to its customer and their complaints related Mi products then it is hard to buy Mi Products.

Good Looking products and Good performance is OK but Xiaomi should show customer oriented policies where customers are treated as a vital part.

Six month ago i purchased Redmi Note 5 Pro now Its bricked and Xiaomi is not able to give prompt solution.Even i ask them that Mi PC suit is not working with latest Mi mobiles but still did not received solution.

Many times information available on Forum is correct than the information available from customer care of Xiaomi.

Xiaomi Customer care just play with standard format Emails.

I have purchased Xiaomi Note 3,4 and now 5 then Headphones and Power Bank.

I used to like their products but as their service is so Bad. Im feeling that i have invested in Wrong Company and Wrong Product.

It bricks also if you do a full recovey with TWRP. After an unsuccessful installation for example. Thats what I did. Now my few day old phone is a brick. Received the same answer from global support. I have to wait for the approving of my account. This was not only my first but also my last Xiaomi phone! Better stay with One Plus.

So you guys are saying that if we pay 25 dollars on this site there is no scam or whatever and we will be able to flash ? i have seen 5-6 people say this but feels like a scam lol
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] skanskan:
We don't want to pay $27 to be able to do something that we have the right to do for free.

And you can just loose your money and never get a working code.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ZhenMing:
I just wonder, do you think the USB Debugging option in Developer Options will be turn on by default?

If it is, that means we can use the fastboot to unlock the BL and perform the recovery.

Just like the picture 1, if your fastboot is detected in Device Manager.

Picture 2 is just perform fastboot

fastboot devices

If it detects the devices, you could then use this to unlock the BL:

fastboot OEM unlock

Of coz next will be just do the the following from the fastboot version of Mi8 firmware:

flash_all.bat

Recommended to download the original firmware that comes with your Mi8.

Note: that I did not perform this as my Mi8 is working fine at the moment. Try at your own risk.

I thought it was a scam as you when I first saw it but I can truly confirm you it is not.

I was writing about it before in this thread (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77467501&postcount=83)

It is such a pity we have to pay in order to recover our devices when it has been always free but I was so tired of having a €400 phone completely bricked.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Lacerta 1973:
I can confirm that! Seventech unbricked my phone. He did a very good service.

Seems magic but it's not. All required softwares and the ROM are located on Your PC, so in fact the flashing is done by Your PC.

Remote control is to provide EDL authorization to MiFlash. You don't have authorization, while Seventech has.

That's the deal and it is fair.

You don't have to flash miui in edl. Do it in fastboot. You can install persist.img in twrp to repair sensors as well. Check drivers on PC, change USB port and cable if you have problems with recognise of your phone in fastboot mode

But I think it is probably broken ir camera and nothing change it.

I've installed the TQTHL 11,800 mAh battery in my Note 4 and have been using the phone. I've been following the normal instructions to condition for a big battery. Since it seems to be able to do this, it stands to reason there's a (changeable) value somewhere that holds/learns this capacity. Has anyone seen anything to directly do this? Boot-time patch? Flash patch?

The phone is has been rooted.

Hi everyone. Im on A6003 8/128 OP6 with stock non-rooted 5.1.9. Oxygen.

Lately my PlayStore stopped downloading and updating apps. All it show is progress bar with "Downloading..." and it sits there for hours and hours. Sometimes it does download an app, but after a few hours of waiting for download to begin.

I have tried clearing all known caches of all relevant apps, restarted phone few times. Also, I've followed all Google's troubleshooting guides for this problem, but no progress was made.

WiFi or 4G makes no difference.

Does anyone knows the culprit and solution?

[General Questions and Answers] Rubson Goldner:
Hello! Yesterday I went to install TWRP on my Galaxy S8 to install a custom rom. In the tutorial, he said he should do Wipe on some things. I have and since then my phone is dead! I tried installing three different roms and none works.

When I flash the rom I have the following message:

<ID:0/005> Odin engine v(ID:3.1301)..

<ID:0/005> File analysis..

I'm using Odin v3.13. The most recent I found.

I've already looked all over the internet and saw a video where you should click Start on the odin and then click on the three buttons to restart the device etc. That did not solve!

Please, can anyone help me? I am getting crazy!
[General Questions and Answers] MrMeeeMdick:
Solution

1-. First at all run ODIN as an administrator.

2-.Boot on download mode.

3-.Dont flash (BL) for the moment select only AP and HOME_CSC to make a fast flash.

4-.When you boot successfully on your system go to developer options and then select "Oem Unlock".

5-. Download a zip called (no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip) for the S950F . Move the zip to your phone you will need that later to make work the TWRP.

6-.Boot on download mode again.

7-.Flash the Custom recovery.

8-.Boot on Custom recovery wipe all data.

9-.Reboot on recovery again

10-.Now flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip and restart normally

11-.Done!
[General Questions and Answers] Rubson Goldner:
Thanks for the answer! I selected the AP and the SCS, but when I click to start the same thing happens!

Check the print

I got to TWRP. Is there anything I can do?:crying:
[General Questions and Answers] MrMeeeMdick:
1.-Boot on TWRP If you can. Select the option (Advanced Wipe Cache and Data)

2.-Select only (AP) MAKE SURE IS CORRECT FIRMWARE, you have the correct samsung drivers and you are running odin as an ADMINISTRATOR

3.-If that doest work flash only the bootloader (BL). if you successfully flash the (BL), then flash (AP). :eek:
[General Questions and Answers] Rubson Goldner:
Hi!. I was able to install an alternative ROM, not original by TWRP, but I happen to be without a signal, then I would go back to the original rom, but I get the same error every time!
[General Questions and Answers] MrMeeeMdick:
Downgrade the Bootloader (BL). But you can install Z3 and repair the signal

***You can also flash the original modem.bin and you are go to go with the signal***

I would just fastboot the latest full image (not OTA), editing the flash-all.bat to remove the -w switch. Either that or live with it for a week until the August build is out. It doesn't take but 5 minutes. Once flashed and you have fastboot booted to TWRP, queue up TWRP, Kernel, Magisk and let them rip.

[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] ronny35:
Hello guys.

A few weeks ago i started having problems with my redmi's wifi. Without doing any kind of update or change any settings, the wifi and even the Bluetooth would go down frequently and as time passed this only got worse. Eventually, after a reboot, i couldn't turn the wifi on as showed in the image.

I've tried doing a system update, i'm using Lineage OS 14.1, and i tought that it was working again since i was able to toggle the wifi on and connect to a network. But after a few minutes it went down again. Since then i've tried to flash other roms, even the original MIUI and the problem persists. After flashing or even after an occasional reboot, i'm able to turn on and connect to a network but as always it stops working. With Bluetooth i also have a few problems, like having to forget a paired device and reboot to pair the device again. Since with a clean flash or 1 out of 10 reboots the wifi kind of works, i'm hoping that this isn't a hardware problem.

I've tried to search the internet for a solution, but almost every time that i find something with redmi 3, it's basically redmi note 3 posts/threads. Does anyone had a similar problem or have any ideia how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

FYI phone status:

Same problem with my brother's phone, he was on miui and started getting that "MAC 02:00:00:00:00:00" on wifi

I'm trying to recover it, if it's software related then it is due to the NVRAM partition, accessed with QPTS, but that's strange because mobile network works without any issue.

I dumped my nvram and i'm trying to find the actual mac address, if i'm able to change it and successfully recover it i'll post something. The bad news is that i need a clean nvram to double check, because mine is already damaged. I may get my hands on another working redmi 3 soon, hope that will help

I'm trying to run a Sprint/Nextel SIM card in my unlocked 8525 (previously no problems with Tmobile and ATT sims)...and it doesnt find any of the networks.

when I go through the list of supported networks I dont see Nextel or Sprint, but there is the option to add a network using the network's numeric code

I found 6 digit codes for Sprint and Nextel on wiki, and put them in with the "add network" feature...but it still doesnt work.

Sorry, it's the same seller (yywireless) who does the LS998, so I thought it was still LS998. He/they sold a ton of LS998 V30+!

Maybe they're already converting them now before shipping? Unless they are original US998. I don't know.

But a bunch of us bought the mint V30+ LS998 back in June from this same seller. Right before Father's Day, eBay had a one day 20% of everything sale and a bunch of us snagged that phone + 20% off, so very good deal!

Here's the

No, takes 10 minutes. That's what the Frankenstein thread is all about, converting one V30 to another -- usually LS998 to US998 for bootloader unlock and root. But also other North America variants to other North America variants...
