I was able to use Kingoroot for PC to root my Fire HD 10. Updated to the newest Firmware. It would say it was rooted. But, Trying to give permissions and checking with root checker was not successful and said there was no root. I installed SuperSU apk it says the binary is occupied. So I Uninstalled the superuser apk. that was installed by Kingoroot and tried to change the build prop with a root browser text editor and it was successful so apparently it roots but superuser is not working to grant or deny permissions. It automatically grants permissions does not even open up superuser so its kinda dangerous but it is rooted and working. My experience is that kingoroot superuser must be Uninstalled for root to work. I used twrp manager to backup my recovery img., and boot img. I am going to try to build a recovery for it but I'm not In a hurry plus I'm not sure if it will flash afterwards anyways but if you want root, Kingoroot for pc and Uninstalled the kingoroot superuser apk it installs and you will have it

Installed magisk manager installed zip direct (recommended) it bricked the fire. And then I adb sideloaded the update and now I'm back in business reasonably easy to do but I do not recommend magisk at this time .

Going to try xposed next

Couldn't get it to install says it's arm device tries to install and says it's an arm64 device. Plus has to be flashed in recovery and one hasn't been built yet

You can't manage Kingoroot su binary using SuperSU.

If you not install SuperSU su binary, SuperSU apk does not working.

Try this method to install SuperSU su binary.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Joker1716:
I installed supersu to find out if it was rooted since the root checker said it was not. the binary error was a confirmation that it was in fact rooted and it doesn't matter what superuser is used it will not allow pop up or apps to draw over other apps so when it's rooted with kingoroot it automatically grants root without a confirmation,as long as the kingoroot super user app is not installed and if SuperSU is kept installed default permission has to be set to grant for root to work. I in fact installed the SuperSU binary through an older version of the apk and it installed but still has no control over denying or granting permissions. Thanks for the advice though. I appreciate your willingness to help me
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] smam1338:
Not trying to insult your intelligence or anything here, but you said newest firmware? Newest Fire firmware? Newest firmware isn't rootable from my understanding.

What firmware were you on when you started the root process?

Also, are you making sure that the Kingoroot "install our extra junk" box isn't checked (not sure that would prevent root success)?

It wouldn't open superuser. superuser should be set to "grant" because of how the Fire works, which it sounds like you are aware of based on your last post. I wouldn't say it's dangerous, per se.

I've followed this guide nearly a dozen times now and I've not run into the issue(s) you're having.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] anvilgod:
Hello,

my original charging adapter for Redmi Note 4 broke (the connector inside is moved up by few milimeters and I cant reseat it), so I'm looking for a replacement charging adapter.

Should I order one of the Xiaomi adapters from alixpress or can I use any 2A/5V charging adapter? And is it safe to use?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Noter2017:
Any charger will do as long as it has 5V/2A. Just make sure to buy a brand which is known, like BlitzWolf.

Those really cheap chargers can fry your phone.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] androidbadboy:
Hi XDA guys!

Everybody knows that Mi series goal is to be better than Redmi at least in specs and performance.

But how about performance to price ratio, how about all other things that You dont worry and dont expect in REDMI casue it's cheap but You do expect it in the MI series?

What are the problems/things that You don't like in MI series?

What are the problems/things that You don't like in REDMI series if there is any? WHY? Cause we all know not to expect wonders for a low budget priced phones.

I've talked to many people who had/have REDMI and MI series Xiaomi phones (clients, selllers, internet folks, friends) and they only agree on ONE thing -the price is great wheter it is REMI or MI phone.

A strange thing happens.... REDMI owners are always satisfied. The only thing that bothers not all of them is the camera quality.

But in low and middle price segment REDMI beats EVERY other BRAND.

Xiaomi has also great prices in the high end flagship models but here MANY PEOPLE are dissapointed.

For example camera quality, screen quiality, body, bezel, bugs, no NFC, no european B20 LTE band.

The MI users also tell me that non of the above bothers them but something totaly different. EACH person = an original problem with MI device.

Can You please tell me what are Your problems/dislikes with MI and REDMI devices cause I'm about to buy one from each segment?

What should I worry about (Android updates maybe?) buying a REDMI and a MI phone IN YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIANCE?

Don't get me wrong. I never had a MI phone but in shops they perform GREAT so I wonder what's the fuss is about?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bryandu13:
You Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S is running good, Internal version with all bands, I bought it in Xiaomi shop in France so it's normal to get everything good.

The problems that I noticed are a performances issues on benchmarks and the back glass is very fragile, I have scratches even with the case.

I have big hopes with Android P.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] androidbadboy:
Thanks for reply dude, I have some questions though:

1. What exactly did You notice on benchmarks? Performance issues shouldn't exist. It's the fastest CPU (SD 845).

2.Why do You have big hopes with Android P. Is Oreo making problems and what kind?

3. It would seem like in flagship models the manufactuers put very delicate screens probably to earn more cash on repair. I have the same problem on Samsung Galaxy S8. A slightly nail can scratch the surface and still they say it's gorilla glass. That unacceptable.

On Redmi Note 4 (cheap Xiaomi phone) I have such a hard screen that I don't need any kind of protection....
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] arddy1:
My mi mix 2s issue is just about ghosting screen and laggy video recording, other than that is perfect.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] mike freegan:
So many issues. Mostly software which has too many bugs to list. Text selection is buggy. Text input is laggy because of full screen gestures. Often no way to switch apps during calls. MIUI is a disaster. Our Mi A2 running Android One is a significant step up.

In terms of hardware, the Mix 2s is ok. The screen is the main problem. It is not very bright outside compared to my old pixel. Also it scratches very easily. I've never had a scratch on a phone screen in over 10 years, but I already have 2 on this handset after a few weeks and I don't have a clue how as I don't keep anything else in the same pocket. It says it is gorilla glass but I don't believe it - I think it is made out of cheese
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] pi4a7a:
I've noticed performance drops on benchmarks too. First Antutu score was 270k, the last one i did after factory was 209k....

Phone gets hot real quick, idle cpu temperature is around 39C.

My camera lens started to peel... after a week
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bryandu13:
1 - Low scores for a S845 (less than 200k on AnTuTu, 3400 on 3dmark slingshot extreme, 1900-7000 on Geekbench)

2 - Xiaomi announced big buffs for camera and performances with their Android P builds.

3 - I'm just talking about scratches, because the back is ceramic and shouldn't be scrashed so easily under a case (the provided one).
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] androidbadboy:
That scratching is simply a way to tell Your subconcius to buy another flagship from Xiaomi cause the current one will be too scrached.

Are You sure that the long awaited Mi Mix 2s has a long list of bugs?

Xiaomi did overtime to put this phone on the market with flawless opinion.

What else I can expect from Mi Mix 2s and do You think that these bugs won't exist in the newly lanuched Mi8?

BTW It's a shame, Xiaomi was well on their way to beat even Samsung with performance to price ratio but they suddenly asked too much cash for their top phones.

If they would keep up what has been done in the low budget phones we could have a worldwide revolution resouting in ALL brands lowering their price for even flagship phones.

It was so close... We all would benefit from it. For example a Samsung S9+ instead of 1000 $ would cost 600 USD.

Xiaomi did us no favor and got all of a sudden a big time player alhought their flagships are yet far from being great.

Who cares?I am using this phone, not someone else.I like it, this is the most important thing.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Adriano-A3:
1 - My Mix 2S never freezes. Never.

2 - I'm not facing any issue with video recording (4k).

3 - I don't give a **** for performing Antutu tests. I just look at its scores before buying.

4 - I'm with Mix 2S about 20 days and there's no lens peeling or scratches. I am careful with it. I can sell it right now as a new.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bryandu13:
2 - Just check in camera settings 60 fps isn't available.

3 - ok, but the Snapdragon 845 was a major spec for this device and the phone perform like a S835 one.

4 - You're lucky for the scraches, I don't know how the mine have been scrached under a case, but I have no lens peeling neither.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] kr00t0n:
I've had mine for 3 months now, and it's perfect for me, especially for the price.

No scratches, no peel lenses, and I don't notice any ghosting. In fact, my only gripe is that the MIUI notification pull down with the brightness slider needs you to touch where the slider is before you can move it. My previous phone (ZUK Z2 Pro) let you tap anywhere on the slider bar and it would move to where your finger is. So quickly upping to full brightness in sunlight on my Mix 2S is trickier as I need to see where the slider is.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Adriano-A3:
2 - You are right. Is Xiaomi crazy?

3 - As I told for a friend early: I didn't notice any difference while using Mix 2 and Mix 2S. I'm not on gaming. I just want a never-lag device, iykwim.

4 - I'm with my device 24 hours per day. I know where it is everytime.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] kleinholzinferno:
I have the global model 128gb version and as soon as it was set up I was disappointed with MIUI.

Never had a Xiaomi device before but the rom sucks and has so many bugs in it it's really annoying.

Fortunately some people here are developing custom ROMs and I'm on pixel experience gsi right now which works flawlessly. It's like having a Pixel for half the price. Of course there is some work left for the Devs regarding some little features like auto brightness and camera apps but I'm use a Gcam port and it's fine for me.

It's not the device IMO its the software that kills it. They have good prices but the bootloader unlocking process is really annoying and their software suite like the MiFlash tool is really crappy.

I tried flashing the Android P Beta from Xiaomi and almost bricked my phone because they just forgot to include some batch files in the original download. I was lucky because some guy here provided all the needed files and I got the device running but this must not happen to a company that wants to be a global player.

Just my 2 cents...

I use the provided case and have no scratches, lens peels whatsoever but the case start to break on the lower right corner after just 2 months and taking it off only 3 times. But it was free so I'm okay with that.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] guildamx:
Well, this is your respectable opinion but I really don't understand why people spend 500 USD/EUR being totally unconscious of the products they are buying.

MIUI OS has been developed for many years and it always had the same peculiarities: extremely visually accurate, feature-rich, buggy, childish.

MIUI is something you just love or hate. But it has been so for years: people should know in advance when they buy normal Xiaomi devices (I mean, other than A1 or A2).

It is very surprising that buyers complain of something everibody knows.

I also own a Samsung S7 Edge, which is "boring": never had a single issue in two years.

When I bought the Mi Mix 2S I was perfectly aware that I was buying a totally different phone, with an OS which apparently is always in beta stage.

But, you know, my Xiaomi is just fun!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] mike freegan:
The problem is that reviews never talk about the bugs or missing features. And the ROM flashing community makes it sound easy to just swap to an AOSP ROM, without mentioning that AOSP ROMs take a very long time to develop and lose features like camera quality etc.

Personally I expected MIUI to be a bit annoying. I used it 6 years ago and it was not great but I had expected it to have improved. I was wrong. It is the worst experience I've had on a phone out of the box. I can't believe companies manage to sell consumer devices this bad. Xiaomi puts a tonne of effort into a ROM that has fewer features and worse usability than stock Android. Why invest so much energy into making something worse?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] DMart9406:
I had both stock and miui , emui , etc...

I had Nokia 8 , Lg G6 , Honor 8 huawei p9 , p10 plus, xiaomi mi mix 2s , samsung s5

And i dont understand why do you say that miui has less features ... It has theme engine (no root) ,gestures, optimized battery saving , screen temprature

It seems you dont know what you are talking about , i found that the phone with less features was nokia 8 (stock) . The only thing good was the fastest updates but i had no control about nothing
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] kleinholzinferno:
Just to clarify some things:

Before buying a product at that price range I'm thoroughly investigating the product. So I was not "totally unconscious" as you call it.

I was aware of the OS and the differences from stock android. But if you can't get your hands on a device before buying it you have to trust reviews and hands on videos. And almost all of them didn't mention the problems I encountered.

As posted before you're getting lied to or bugs and errors are just sugarcoated and no one tells the truth.

I have no problem flashing phones and always did and I'm glad there are alternatives for this piece of crap MIUI. You say it's developed for years? Maybe, but for this amount of time invested into an OS we could expect a better performance and stable ROMs without all the bugs.

Have you ever read the official MIUI forum? Besides the point whor**g there it's full of bugs and problems and none of the Xiaomi devs gives a flying f*ck about the people reporting them.

I'm happy with the pixel experience rom by now. Never going back again.

End of rant.

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------

Yeah themes are the most important feature... especially when you have to set your location to India to get it to work.

You know, that's one of the things that makes me mad. It's not only about pushing as many features into a rom as possible. They should work properly to be a benefit. Not working features are a no-go.

And all of the things you mention are not MIUI specific. They try to copy all the good stuff from other manufacturers, but fail permanently.

Battery life was catastrophic with MIUI. With the Pixel Experience rom I get twice the SOT. And that's with a not device customized GSI...let that sink in.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] guildamx:
Again, that is your point of view. I am not saying you are lying, just that your opinion is

highly subjective

.

1) MIUI forum is full of children writing "cool" and "great". Nothing comparable with XDA. But is has been so since the beginning. Every experienced android user knows (and keeps far away). Why complain now?

2) As I wrote above, I also own a Samsung S7 Edge, whose OS is rock-solid. Still I cannot complain about the lack of feature in MIUI. For example I have many routines in my ordinary day; with the S7 I used Tasker for scheduling vibration mode, wifi on/off, connection and so on; MIUI has this feature and works great, without additional apps (and root!). Same for taking screen captures: no need to edit build.prob, as MIUI has a simple gesture for that. I agree that MIUI may have some bugs, but definitely the issue is not the lack of features.

3) Battery life was "catastrophic" just in your configuration. In my configuration battery drain is comparable with S7, i.e. very good.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] kleinholzinferno:
Of course my opinion is subjective...as all opinions are. I just pointed out what bothers me about the forum, the device and the software.

I've seen and used much better android ROMs and MIUI is just not for me. So I switched the rom asap.

I also used Samsung's UI on my brand new tablet with at the time some of the best hardware you could get. And guess what it lagged awfully. So I dumped the Samsung firmware, installed lineage and it's snappy and responsive. No comparison.

But everybody likes and uses or needs other features, as you mentioned and that's perfectly fine. That's the great advantage of a free system like android.

I just don't need the "features" of MIUI to me it's overloaded.

Regarding the forum you're right. It's like playing COD with a bunch of 14 year olds on steroids. :D
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] mike freegan:
Not in the UK. Blocked because it isn't GDPR complient. And also the themes are disgusting.

...that stop your keyboard from working properly. Android P has gestures, and there is an XDA app that would work much better.

...that stops your notifications coming through, freezes your launcher, kills Youtube whilst it's playing. This isn't a feature, it's a disaster.

I think every phone has this?

Disagree.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] androidbadboy:
MIUI on FLAGSHIPs esp Mix 2 and 2s should be flawless. Xiaomi had a lot of time to do it. Just remember just how long Mi Mix 2 was the top dog in the yard. Taking it to Mi Mix 2s shouldn't be so work demending.

Depends on when the motherboard is produced. If it's from 2017 and onwards then you're good to go. If it's from 2016 then the problem will occur again after awhile. So be careful when buying motherboards as people are probably just selling those from broken Google Pixels.

You don't have to replace the motherboard to fix the mic issue. I recently had my mic repaired. You have to replace the USB control board. The part isn't very expensive.
