To corkiejp:

"anti-rollback" sounds ominous, like I hit some terrible point of no return when I updated. Thanks, I'll read the topic(s). I find the phone fast and snappy so at least there's that. Maybe even faster than my Asus ZenPad, which had terrible battery management. Fingerprint lock scanner works perfectly. I half-expected to get locked out of my own phone on the first day due to major malfunction. or gargantuan bug. lol.

Yeah, I don't think there's a manual for this... anywhere. Your link points to a "Coming Soon!" place holder. I'll just have to read a bunch of online sources. Pathetic that we the users have to write the documentation for Xiaomi for one of their own products.

To that smart-ass posting above you: for $200, it's madness not to expect at least some kind of manual or Quick Start guide. Don't know where he gets his logic from that for $200 you shouldn't expect a manual :silly:

ETA: Also wanted to add an example of why there should be a manual for this. I can just imagine all the poor bastards that chased their tails for hours wondering why they couldn't get the procedure for registering a Fingerprint Lock working. It's just not particularly intuitive that you have to press the damn thing TWELVE times and wiggle your finger to get it to work. Easily the most poorly documented device I have ever purchased. Sh*t, even my cheap chinese $5 digital meat thermometer had a detailed manual in the box, on paper no less. But my $200 smart phone doesn't. Go figure.

RN5 is a smartphone, it was main for smart people.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] JackOfOwls:
"RN5 is a smartphone, it was main for smart people."

Not-so-smart answer though. I already cited an example of why we would could use a manual, but I guess you missed that, chief.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Incogn:
Lmao, people will cry over everything these days. Its a freaking android device, like any other. You get a little paper explaining hardware and buttons, and its written clearly: Press and hold power button to turn on the device, then follow on screen instructions. Thats why there is a startup guide when you use the phone for first time. Everythings explained more than simple. If you cant follow that, maybe smartphone is not for you. And i congratulate xiaomi for not wasting paper on this matter. Your rant about fingerprint is also absurd, everything is explained very clearly on screen instructions. Jeez, talk about being dramatic
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] raptorddd:
it does tell you to wiggle or move your finger at fingerprint set up..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] JackOfOwls:
Yes, after you press it TWELVE times it will eventually tell you to wiggle your finger after giving you countless fail/error messages.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] JackOfOwls:
Well, I'm assuming you only use your phone to talk/text, browse a few webpages, and take not-so-pretty selfies, but some of us might want a little more detailed info on what this phone can actually do. And the phone can do a LOT, having features that probably 99% of end users aren't even aware of, thanks to virtually ZERO guidance provided by Xiaomi. The bottom line is we shouldn't have to go looking all over the web to compile our own documentation.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] JackOfOwls:
Btw, for comparison, I have a cheap, rock-bottom-of-the-line, $25 (USD) Unimax U673c android SmartPhone that had excellent documentation in the form of a PDF manual. But I guess it's okay if some of you guys don't find the lack of a manual curious. Your needs are probably few, and some of you probably can barely read anyway, so...

And I just wanted to say Thank You to corkiejp for being helpful and polite among a bunch of bozos whose only way of being able to communicate seems to be through snark. Have a great day. I'm outta here.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Incogn:
Dude, just stop. You are alone on this matter. Every single post in this thread disagree with you. You are drama queen over nothing. And i use my phone to its full potential, obviously more than you do, because i never needed any papers telling me how to add fingerprint lmao. Now that i think about it, im quite sure there wasnt any paper manuals in my atleast last 2 devices also. Just some simple instructions on how to remove sim tray or stuff like that. There is a FIRST STARTUP GUIDE on android for a reason. It couldnt be more simple. And this was my first ever MIUI phone, so i wasnt really familiar with this OS, yet somehow i understand all its functions. Maybe because whenever you enter some function menu from settings, you get a neat little guide on what its purpose is or an option called "about", which does same thing - explain how it works in short.

Half of your posts in this thread are insults against other members, talking about being polite... Joker. You are not right, you are not a majority, not a single person here gives a **** about paper manual, no one agrees with you, and you are not better than any members here who may have insulted your dramaqueen personality, because you spit insults in half of your posts here.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] YetAnotherForumUser:
Your meat thermometer is a single-function device and as such easy to write a manual for. A 'smart' phone - in other words, a pocket computer which happens to include mobile connectivity - is none of the above. The role of the manual has been largely taken over by on-screen instructions, your example of fingerprint enrolment is demonstrative in this respect as it tells you what to do while you do it. You might as well get used to this as the chance of finding a comprehensive manual for software which is updated every other week is getting smaller and smaller. If you want a phone with a manual you're better off with a feature phone as those, due to their less ephemeral nature, can be described in full for the duration of their lifetime which is measured in years.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] JackOfOwls:
I actually only insulted two people in this topic - you and that other idiot who could barely manage to get out a single sentence. Stop exaggerating. If I wish to think you're a douche for your asshole tone in replying to my posts, then that's my prerogative. Most of the people here have actually replied to my rant in a polite, reasonable way. And then there's the douches, they're on every forum of course, who I treat as they treat me. Congratulations. You got what you sowed. So take your own advice and just STFU.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Incogn:
You insulted 3 people actually. How many posts there was? So saying half of your posts are insults is not an exaggeration. And you made fun of one user because of his grammar. Really? Are you an american? Because thats only country in the world i know of who are self entitled and stupid enough to make fun of someones second or even third spoken language..You must be an american. Only people in the world who speak 1 language and think they are smart. Pathetic. Sadly only douchebag i see here is you, and not only that, but dumb enough to not understand very clear on screen instructions lmao. Nice try, go read some paper manuals of your meat termometer, maybe that will help you understand smartphones better lol.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] JackOfOwls:
Are you an Indian? You must be an indian :eek: Reason I ask is because there's a certain type from India that post a lot on the fone forums that write stupid and hysterical posts like this one. :D

Here's a pithy post from this forum that I think you should read, and the followup one too ;) It certainly fits your psychological/sociological profile. Hah, even your own countrymen recognize there's a problem. Look within thyself and someday you may become a whole person instead of this silly man-child we seeing shrieking and LOLing to himself on these forums. :silly:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Incogn:
Again, just proving the stereotype americans are dumb. You cant even adress single point i make, because you know im right. Calling someone dumb because they can speak slightly broken second language, when your sorry ass cant even do that. Crying nonsense about some paper manuals, when majority of OEMs stopped providing them. Not being able to follow the most simple instructions on screen. Calling me childish when you infact just spit nonsense, insults, and change subject every post, what a mature person! And finally assuming im indian for some reason, and spending whole paragraph trying to insult indians, when im in fact from europe lmao. Please, by all means, keep these dumb posts coming, im starting to find you hilarious.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] JackOfOwls:
You should re-read my original posts instead of going off half-cocked again. Where does it say I need a paper manual? PDF documents are just as good. So your homework for now is to go back and re-read my posts and stop stupidly obsessing on the "paper" thing. Then we can continue this conversation, else I'll just continue to assume you have poor reading comprehension and/or debating skills. Just in case you need it written more clearly: I. Don't. Need. Paper. Manuals. PDF. Is. Fine. Stop. Being. Such. A. Douche. :laugh:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Incogn:
Lol.Again.Avoiding.All.My.Points.And.Rambling.Nonsense. Alright, my bad, go add "or pdf" whenever i mentioned manual. Not that it changes anything. You are still pathetic and avoiding the points i made, because i was right, and you have nothing clever to say anymore lmao. 'Murica at its finest
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] JackOfOwls:
You really don't see the irony of the situation, do you? You try to call me out on insulting people from other countries and in the previous post you insult americans, and continue to insult them. Your own xenophobia exposed you for what you are - a hypocrite.. Anything you say now is likely to be dismissed by everyone. You are what is known as a dumb twat. All I had to do was give you enough rope. Now that is funny ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Incogn:
Oh, i absolutely do exactly that, but its only because its you, and you deserve it. And again, dodging all the points i made, lmao. Grow a pair, adress atleast 1 of them, because you look pathetic trying to change topic and insult me. If you cant adress single point, that only makes me right. And we all know what i already deducted.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] JackOfOwls:
No one can ever know what a wacky, unstable, contradictory and hypocritical guy like you deducted , but we deducted that you're an idiot that showed his hand and true colors and lost the game. Time to go home now, chief. It's. Over. :laugh:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Incogn:
Lmao, you havent won a single argument here buddy. Its getting pathetic. But since you are stubborn as a mule, cant adress single point i made of what an awful human being you are, ill just remind you what we already deducted:

1. Calling someone dumb, because they speak slightly broken second(or third) language, when your clever murican ass can speak only born tongue.

2. Crying for paper or pdf manual, when no one in the world cares anymore, kinda hilarious and ironic coming from a manchild calling others stupid.

3. Not being able to follow the simplest on screen instructions, very bright again.

4. Going on a random rant against indians(wtf).

Should i continue? Nah, not worth it. I answered your every accusation and name calling, while you childishly avoided every single one of mine. Pathetic. If you dont bother adressing these points, dont bother replying with your offtopic nonsense insults. Its getting sad
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] JackOfOwls:
The bottom line is no one wants to debate with someone as belligerent and obnoxious as yourself. That's something any adult should know. Grow the **** up and start talking like a normal human being and maybe people will actually want to address your points. Pay close attention to the other posters in this topic and how they responded, study them, and learn what it is to be a man instead of a cocking , crowing immature **** no one likes, much less wants to debate with. That's all the advice I can offer you. Come back when we can talk like ADULTS.

Okay, now you're just repeating yourself in these recent, rather rambling walls of text. Please. Stop. Now. Get well soon.

im thinking about buying a new phone :-/

After almost 5 years with my beloved N3.

Auto Rotation Bug is driving me crazy, so do the BT call bug.

Some suggestions?

Hi all!

So I'm making this thread because I had some troubles with my Archos 55 diamond selfie LITE, when trying to root it, and found NO INFORMATION ARROUND THE WEB ABOUT THIS MODEL !

:(

I managed to install twrp and supersu and got the root access, because I wanted to delete some bloatware and stuff I didn't wanted in my phone.

But some apps on system folder and priv-app, when I tried to delete them, it simply restarted the device...

:confused:

The device was rooted and some stuff i could delete, but, as mentioned it was a partial root, I couldn't delete some apps at the mentioned folders...

So after flashing different twrp and superSu and even Magisk, I don't know how, but I got to a point that the wifi didnt work.

:(

And couldn't get it to work by any means...

BUT!!

With some luck, I did manage to get to stock rom again!

As brand new as it was when i got it!

I'm not an expert, and this may serve just as a "story telling", I mean, the process I'm about to describe worked for me but it may not work for you...

So:

- If for some reason you can´t access your device (bootloop, no system);

- If you want to get to stock rom and stock recovery.

- AND you still have access to a working recovery.

- You may try this method.

(As I previously said, I'm not an expert and this was pure luck, after days and days of trial and error). :angel:

1- Download this: https://mega.nz/#!MJIkHTII!2fxtqr4BXFYyGZbX9NPDWE9tNXpRenE5RQDg9fbwzBM

(This is the firmware from Archos 50 Diamond, it is a update.zip and you won't need to extract it, just as a regular update.zip)

2- Flash from the TWRP.

(It will take some time)

3- Reboot, and it will be in a bootloop.

4- Redo the manipulation to access the recovery (Vol + and Power at the same time) and then you'll have the original recovery back. (When pressing the Vol + and Power, remember to stop pressing both buttons as soon the Archos logo appear, and press more 5 or 6 times the Vol+ button until entering the recovery)

5- Access to original recovery, and flash the update .zip.

6- Again reboot and if in loop, reboot again and select "Wipe data/factory reset" and if prompted select "Yes -- delete all user data".

7- Done, If all went well you may now have, as me, a fresh Archos 55 Diamond selfie lite stock rom.

:D

Hope this helps if someone needs this.

:)

heeeey

You saved my ass!! This process works 100%

apparently Archos 50 Diamond has the same rom as 55 diamond selfie

thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vamiz:
Hey! Nice to know that this is working!

Even if it just helped one, two or three peopple I'm f***** glad I wrote this post :D

Have fun tweaking with this device if that's the case!

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PS143:
Formerly unlocked, rooted, TWRP and elementalX kernel install. Reverted to stock for update and now everything is screwy.

When I try to enter Recovery mode I get "No Command". Yes I can press Vol+ and get to some basic menu but it does me no good so I HARD RESET and started over.

Flashed TWRP via my PC but still cant get into TWRP menu in recovery mode. I am about to smash this device out of frustration. What do i do next? I want to install TWRP, MAGISKSU then just flash elementalX.

I cant get TWRP to work properly so cant install magisk..etc.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] androwide:
To Root your Mi A2 you will have to first unlock its bootloader, follow all steps correctly to gain root access on your Mi A2 device,

NOTE : All data will be wiped during bootloader unlocking, so make sure to backup each and every thing on your device.

first of all enable developer option & then enable OEM unlocking & USB debugging,

Now setup adb and fastboot drivers on your laptop/PC,

Now connect your Mi A2 (on state) and allow USB debugging popup.

now boot into fastboot mode (power off and press & hold volume down + power key simultaneously)

now connect your mi a2 to your laptop/pc,

now run fastboot oem unlock it will unlock the bootloader and reboot your device, also will wipe data,

now again setup the device and enable developer option, enable OEM unlocking, enable USB debugging, and connect to allow usb debugging.

now once again boot into fastboot mode (as described above), and connect your mi a2 to your laptop/pc

now download august months (V9.6.10.0.ODIMIFE, August 5 2018.) patched_boot.img (dont use if you are on any other month patch) use that months patched_boot.img file only.

now put the patched_boot.img to adb folder.

now again open the command or powershell window, and run fastboot boot patched_boot.img

it will boot your device, now just download the Magisk manager apk and install it.

open magisk manager and click on install, then direct install (recommended),

it will now download the magisk zip file and flash it at its own, after its done simply reboot your Mi A2 and voila we have successfully rooted our Mi A2.

let me know if you have any issues following this tutorial.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Benjamin_L:
This should be in the guides section as this is nothing development related
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] androwide:

Will this void my warranty? If yes, then does "unrooting" bring back my warranty?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Benjamin_L:
If rooting voids your warranty depends a lot where you live. It's just a disclaimer from the devs that they can't be held responsible for any damage.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] pratyush2173:
Depends on Xiaomi to be honest, I searched and found conflicting opinions about xiaomi being okay with rooting and still provide warranty on the device (hardware, that is). Technically, they shouldn't as rooting allows you do to things that can easily shorten your device's life. But I just wanted to use substratum on my new Mi A2 without losing the warranty on a brand new phone as it might have defects which I haven't noticed yet. (And as I've heard andromeda is **** so won't pay for that.)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Benjamin_L:
Xiaomi does not stand above european law so not really. But as I said, depends where you live of course. A modified boot image should do no harm still.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] estetico:
Thanks for this guide, will I be able to update my phone after I use the patched_boot.img?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Benjamin_L:
It will overwrite the patched boot image so you'll have to update the patched boot image for each update

are you sure? If the OTA has check for modified system partition it will fail.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Benjamin_L:
I didn't have a chance to try it yet so I can't be sure. Will test when the September update drops
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] veeru1saini1:
And just in case, if I update phone with root will there be any soft damage like boot loop or device getting bricked? Or will it just overwrite and become like it was before?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Benjamin_L:
Most likely the last yes.
