But if i keep the bootloader unlocked I think that I lose my warranty and OTA updates will not install in the future ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] achickennugget:
U should do more research on Google, keeping bootloader unlocked will not affect OTA updates (why would it?!?!), and Xiaomi does not void warranty for unlocking bootloader the last time i checked. U can always flash china rom and relock if need be
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alexthekiller1993:
Ok then I will keep bootloader unlocked thanks .
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] achickennugget:
Just look through any rom development thread and everything u need to know and should know is there, dont skip the reading please, dont end up bricking your phone accidentally :confused::confused:

I happen to have the official Global Mi 8...

Would I be able to re-lock the bootloader after installing custom ROMs?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] e34v8:
I'm waiting for my Mi8, which is also China version with global rom. How did you flash China rom and relock BL? What options did you choose in miflash tool?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mchrisandy:
I have mi8 china version but global rom and unlocked bootloader,i've been checked the bootloader is actually unlocked...checked with adb oem device-info and device unlock is true soo it mean its already unlocked...if i want to flash xiaomi.eu rom can i just flash it with TWRP?what must i flash besides eu ROM or just the rom itself?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] juankar7:
Having bootloader unlocked you can install any rom and your device won't be bricked, at least due to first post reason.

The problem comes when you flash a rom different from original and you lock bootloader.

I have weekly Globe Rom installed based on Xiaomi.eu

hello, Mi 8 global is my frist xiaomi phone and I have some questions regarding bootloader and ARB. At the moment I have MIUI global stable 10.0.3.0. Do I need do unlock the bootloader before I install twrp and flash AOSP pie based roms?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ggkameleon:
Thank you for your post :)

But what is the best choice ? I leave in France it's to buy an global version of mi 8 or a Chinese version ?

I read is not possible to flash a global version of miui 10 on chinese version of mi 8 !? It's wrong ?

If I buy a Chinese version of mi 8 and unlock botloader I can flash twrp via fastboot and flash a global version of miui 10 ? But just loose nfc it's right ?

But if I buy a global version I can if Bl unlock flash a Dev china version of miui ?

Thank you.

Ps : I want this phone but I use an OnePlus 3 and is mire easy to use mods and custom rom. The mistake on this mi 8 and and I hesitate it's the icon notification on status bar is not ? I see a mods but only on chinese version :(
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] plouprou:
If you want to install mods or custom ROMs, go for chinese version because it has unlocked bootloader.

You can flash a global ROM on a chinese phone with unlocked bootloader, but you SHOULDN'T LOCK the bootloader. If you lock the bootloader, the phone will brick.

You won't loose NFC with unlocked bootloader , only Google PAY. You can use your bank app without problems.

To use Google PAY with unlocked bootloader you can flash an EU ROM and magisk.

You can always switch official MIUI ROM from developer to stable and vice versa, with locked or unlocked bootloader, using the phone updater app, no need to install extra tools or apps.

And you can switch official ROM from developer global to developer china or to estable china or to stable global or any combination with unlocked bootloader. That is to say, you need unlocked bootloader to switch from china to global or vice versa.

Notification icons on status bar are working on official MIUI developer global ROM, no need to use mods.

Uhm how about im in global 8.12.20 beta? Can i go back to china 9.7.6 stable? Because my touchscreen is not working. They are saying that the china stable is the fix for this? Is it ok to change rom from global beta to china stable? Or global beta to china beta only. And global stable to china stable?

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

Can i rollback from global 8.12.20 beta to china 9.6.7 stable?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ggkameleon:
Hi ! Finaly they had a big price on global in my country (France) with eu charger and warranty 2 years for 299€ and receive it tomorrow is more quick for send it and more secure for me.

But now I had a global version. I think send for unlock it and :

Or if I can I stay on Global rom (dev or stable) and root mafisk it & flash twrp (but not official twrp for mi 8 !?) for mods but I don't know how do it.

Or I flash Twrp and Rom.eu (china version) and magisk.

Don't know :confused:

Sorry but I wrote created this rom after installing ArrowOS and at least with yesterday current version it doesn't only 3 options.

In my message I say I use "4636", the problem is that it doesn't keep the selection after choosing airplane mode. Is there a rom that keeps that? (official zuk does…)
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] pipyakas:
I only know of Jaguar to have this feature, if you absolutely need it then stick to Jaguar for now.

A nice and useful quality of life feature yet never got implemented in almost any ROMs ever, just more and more useless customizations - no offense to the one who built those ROMs, but seriously the feature priority is not good at all

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Natural_born_chilla:
Hello everybody,

my Xiaomi Mi 8 has a bootloop since yesterday. My ADW launcher may have caused this - there is a stacktrace file right at the moment the bootloop started

Now I have a TWRP backup but cannot restore it because then I will be back to boot looping...

Start of the stacktrace can be seen here.

Any ideas how I can get my TWRP backup to work again? removing data/data/ Folder of ADW didn't help...

Thank you for any advice on that, you would make my day! So many settings lost ... :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] K_MAC_28:
I would greatly appreciate anyone who can help me figure out this issue I'm having with wm 6.1. I have flashed several ROMS from GREAT cooks here. Now I taken a try at some of the 6.1 ROMS. After flashing three different ROMS (HARDSPL7 installed) my phone has twice performed a hard reset on it's own erasing all of my information. Has anyone else had this problem? Please HELP!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] noellenchris:
Flash Vp3g's last rom or a non big storage rom. Then reflash this rom. The big storage rom's utilize an area of memory that the 6.1 roms seem to use and doesn't get erased correctly. So flashing a non big storage rom like Vp3g's clears that area and allows a clean install of a WM6.1 rom. This has fixed most Hard reset problems. good luck

Chris
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
this has worked for me everytime..Heck I install vp3g's at&t rom everytime before a 6.1 just in case.

(This thread is finished yet I do not know how to set my own reply as the answer! An extremely kind developer helped me out immensely and I fully trusted him and I am very proud now!)

I got an SM-G955FD ( S8+ Dual SIM Europe XSG Variant )

I rooted the phone and installed renovate ICE and titanium backup, apparently, I messed up and after a restart, it was stuck on the flashing Samsung logo.

I went into download mode and tried flashing the TWRP from Odin with the BL button. It kept saying FAIL! and the text does not show that the NAND installed so I probably uninstalled something that's stopping from installing to the bootloader? Re=partition was ticked OFF all the time as I heard it freezes your phone or something??! :confused:

I tried installing stock firmware and still says fail when it comes to the bootloader part.

I tried Smart Switch as I seen videos of people doing it successfully with an s8+, but it apparently does not support specifically the XSG variant (from what I remember the XSG is the United Arab Emirates something when I was installing the firmware from SamMobile)

I contacted Samsung Help Services and redirected me to their messenger which then redirected me to their Smart Switch page and I sent them my problem yet it's been two hours and I have no answer

I know they are very busy which is why I sent here, maybe I get some tips.

Should I enable Re-Partition when reinstalling? I am really scared it might brick my phone if it says FAIL! :crying:

I really need help and if anybody can help or give tips or feedback, hints maybe or thoughts, anything I will be extremely glad an appreciative as every little is super useful and I need lots of help. It's my fault and I admit but I became super desperate, whenever I had a problem I always came here first thing and found the answer and I have not found anything like this exactly.

Thanks and sorry for the long paragraphs, I may have been too dramatic :p

You guys are amazing!

Project: Exynos-Linux-Stable​

- Exynos-Linux-Stable is an organisation on GitLab & GitHub containing upstreamed linux for some of the latest flagship handset from SAMSUNG like the S7, S7E, S8, S8+, Note 8, S9, S9+, Note 9 kernel upstreamed to be inline with respective linux branches.

What does this bring?

- All of the devices mentioned above uses Long Term Support (LTS) releases, they are like old softwares.

- LTS releases are supported through their specified support duration by security updates, bug fixes, backports, and new device drivers, just like a regular release.

So updating or up-streaming your device's kernel brings many improvements talking security, performance wise etc...

How do I use?

If you are a developer, the reference tree is located in the exynos-linux-stable organization: https://github.com/exynos-linux-stable

This can either be merged into your existing kernel tree if you have one or be used as a fresh base. You do not need my permission to use it nor do you need to give me credit (although it would be appreciated).

If you are a user, ask your kernel developer KINDLY to use this source for his kernel that has all the changes added in!

Getting notified about updates

There are a few ways to get notified of linux-stable updates:

I've honestly googled but it looks like everybody just knows how to do this. And nobody discuss it :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Eamo5:
You'll want to use Android Image Kitchen to unpack and repack kernels inside images. You can diff the unpacked boot.img provided in devbase with mine to see the basic ramdisk modifications to prevent forced encryption or various other issues. Or you can just unpack my image, it's relatively basic with it's modifications. Hope this helps.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] -W_O_L_F-:
It's a reference kernel source with all recent patches from vanilla kernel applied to Samsung stock one. Some developers use this source as a base for their custom kernels. This is what it's for.

ELS is for Android. But I'm developing a kernel that can boot Linux (GNU/Linux) on Note9. And yes, it's based on ELS sources.
