I'd be very surprised if this isn't selling well (very well) in China. It's an incredible value proposition, and large screen & large battery are seen as very desirable in both that and other Asian markets.

However, I think the 3 month wait for BL unlock *is* the norm now for Chinese and select other Asian users .. whereas rest of the world it appears to be totally random. Could be a couple of hours or it could be 3 months.

I think you'll find that's the reason why there's little to no Chinese development activity. As I said ... thin end of the wedge, IMO.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] godofknife:
I have already read the threads https://xdaforums.com/poco-f1/how-to/xiaomi-poco-f1-unlock-bootloader-custom-t3839405 and steps. I would like to clarify one more time before doing flashing.

1. To unlock fastboot, we need to have DEV ROM, right? If it is stable, we can't?

2. If it must be DEV ROM, where did the TS get the DEV ROM? Since I checked in MIUI Official site, there is no DEV ROM. It only provides stable.

3. After unlocking bootloader, all we need to do is flash the TWRP Berylium and then Flash the DisablerEncryptionmodTreble.zip, right? After that just flash magisk and reboot system and we are done?

4. Where do we get the POCO F1 Driver? This is because I can't get it detected in Fastboot but is able to detect in ADB.

Thank you very much in advance to clear my doubts. :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thegrantonstarcause:
1. If you mean unlocking the bootloader then it works from the stable rom also. You need to enable OEM unlocking, bind your account to the device and apply to Xiaomi (and wait 72h).

3. The instructions are in the other thread, but basically yes, make sure you format data also.

4. Again, see the threads where this is discussed for download links.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sanjay0501:
Unlock bootloader u have to do thru mi unlock tool from their website.

No dev roms at present but u can flash miui 10 beta which is better than the present 9 and is updated quite often.

Magisk is flashed only if u need root, not compulsory. Read and reread all the steps and Don exactly as instructed. Flashing disabler zip every time u flash is better and format data is mandatory to avoid unwanted complications.

Poco drivers usually are not required. Google Android bootloader drivers detect the phone automatically.

Try command fastboot devices in fastboot mode and ur device should be listed
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] godofknife:
I have unlocked my Pocophone f1 and rooted my phone. I do have 3 questions.

1. Why is TWRP asking me to decrypt password the moment it boots? I never even have password in my phone.

2. Everytime if i want to update the Stock ROM Miui, it will always lose root. So, when I want to root everytime I update, do I have to flash FORCEDISABLERENCRYPTION again and format data like the instruction? Can't we just flash FORCEDISABLERENCRYPTION and MAGISK without formatting?

3. The first time I boot my phone after format data, it says, "This device is associated with MI account. for security reasons, you have to provide password." Is there some way to disable this?

Thank you for helping.

Is it possible to downgrade from 156 to 152?? Safely. I'm on CLT-L29 c432. Locked unrooted. Is it possible via funky huawei??
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] forever_lol:
I do not recommend downgrade unless it's totally necessary. Original 156 update (and not alleged 156 rollback version - that remains non-tested) was just a security patch update. I managed to downgrade from 156 to 152. It worked but I had to perform factory reset.

Have You managed to downgrade from pie?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Jake.S:
could you explain why you want to downgrade 156 to 152?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] sniper20:
Because after a month of usage, I see increased battery consumption compared to 152 and in most cases downgraded camera performance compared to 152.

I'm referring to 156 original version not pie downgrade version. I'm on 8 android.

So apart from a factory reset which I don't mind, I should safely downgrade from 156 to 152.

Most i had on the oneplus 5 was 14 hours 30 minutes, this sailed past that.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dellhome123:
I have a 8525 that has WM6 upgrade to it. Haven't really done anything else to it except load a few games. But it's always had an issue where you can open internet explorer and when it says its loading the home page (in my case google), it comes up with a blank screen. Any address typed in comes up blank like it can't locate the internet, even though everything is on.

My only fix is a soft reset which while not horrible, is slightly annoying. I'm just wondering if I'm missing something or some setting.

Thanks,
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Radimus:

Bumping back up.

I've been having this problem for a while, however even a soft reset isn't correcting it anymore. It seems like the connection is good because i'm still able to download email and weather info, however in IE i'm getting nothing (using medianet, wifi seems to work fine). I've tried reflashing with a few different ROM's, however nothing seems to be fixing it. Currently running CRCs r12.7 and radio 1.40.30.00.

Anyone have any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cyberblue:
Exactly the same thing happens to me. 1st load after soft reset all is fine in PIE, close it and next time this behavior is guaranteed to happen.

Weather & exchange sync are still working fine, just Internet Explorer ends up displaying blank ("opening" then blank page, properties show text with size of 0kb)

Did anybody come up w/ how to fix it?

Change the sim

I faced the same issue with my airtel sim.. i wasn't able to send any message , but i was receiving messages and the smsc number was incorrect (+7) and couldn't be updated.. :(

This issue is due to the sim card...

Go to the airtel store and ask them to give you a new sim ( your number remains the same).... they charged me Rs.25...

The new sim activates within 3 hrs...

But still you wont be able to send messages for next 2-3 days after activation..

Once you get a message from airtel stating the change of sim ..you will be able to send and receive messages.... :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] dev_shady:
Yes, the problem was with the sim not device. Got the new sim, able to send messages. No issues :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] PradeepKumarN:
You probably have an incorrect number saved in the SMSC setting.

To change this, go through the following steps:

1. Google the SMSC number for your particular service provider and state. Ex: "SMSC number for Airtel Karnataka".

2. Now, Go to settings > System apps > Messaging > Additional settings > Short message service center

In the pop up that appears, enter the number that you found as part of step 1. Make sure you prefix the number by +91.

3. Click OK after entering the number.

Once you perform this step, you'll lose the network connection momentarily, after which it'll be restored.

You should now be able to send messages from your Poco phone.

Note: This solution only works if you're not able to send messages from your number, but are able to receive messages.

If you got a new Airtel SIM for your Poco phone, allow 24 hours for messaging services to be unblocked. Airtel blocks messaging services on new SIMs to avoid SIM swap scams.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] igna.98:
I had a Moto X4 but it was stolen so I bought a Pixel 2 XL. It's second-hand and it doesn't come with charger, so I want to know if X4's charger is compatible. I think it's 15W. I ask because I don't want to damage its battery (X4 is 3000 mAh and Pixel 2 XL is 3520 mAh). Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The device's battery has safeguards to prevent damage, so don't worry about the battery itself. The P2XL charger is a dual voltage unit that outputs both at 9 volts and 5 volts, with a corresponding amperage of 3 amps and 2 amps. A charger from an older device that only has a 5V, 2A brick, such as the Nexus 6, would charge the P2XL, provided a Micro-USB to USB-C adapter is attached to the end. However, you would lose the ability to rapidly charge the device. If the charger is a dual voltage charger, you will need to check the charger to make sure the output voltages and amperages at least equal those on the P2XL charger. If they do not, do not use the charger. You risk burning out the charger and potentially starting an electrical fire.

Quite honestly, I would go to the Google store and spend the $40 on their charger and cable. That way you're certain you have everything correct.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] igna.98:
Thank you for your answer.

I've checked and it says

5V _ 3A

9V _ 1.6 A

12V _ 1.2 A

They aren't exactly equal, but is it really dangerous?

I wouldn't have problem to buy an original charger, but the problem is that I live in Argentina, so no Google store, and it's very hard to get an original charger.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Yes. Drawing 2 amps from a 1.6 amp charger will at best burn out the charger. At worst it will cause a fire.

Check Amazon for a charger.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
It's fine. It'll pull from the 5V/3A. No need to waste your money.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
While you're right that the 5V rating is correct, the problem comes when rapid charge is enabled. At that point it kicks over to the 9V setting. The 400mA difference between what the P2XL requires and what the charger outputs will eventually destroy the charger or worse.

Based on what I remember of my basic electronics training the amperage of the power source must always equal or exceed the amperage rating of the item. To not do so places excess wear on the components in the form of heat. Eventually the circuits melt from the strain and the power source burns out. That's if you're lucky. If you're really lucky your house goes up in flames. So no, it's NOT ok to use the power supply and it's reckless to suggest that it can.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] igna.98:
I bought this. Is it OK? https://www.ebay.com/itm/263772958889
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] igna.98:
Thanks, however it'll arrive in one month, so till that day I'll have to use X4's charger, hope nothing happens.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You'll have to check the charger periodically to make sure it isn't too hot. If it gets uncomfortable to the touch, pull it from the outlet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kaiwanted:
What about the charger that have following specs:

9v:3a and 5v:3a? Will it be safe to charge my phone?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] drkdeath5000:
Got myself a Redmi Note 5 Global version and want to update MIUI and possibly try a custom ROM. Just came here to make sure i'm not falling for any common mistakes before i do anything especially after reading a lot of folks that have bricked these devices due to Anti Roll-back so thats the last thing i want to do. The device came boxed with MIUI 9.5.6.0(OEIMIFA) and i've just ignored the update notification up to now so i presume i've avoided ARB and i would like to keep it that way.

So just to confirm are these the correct steps.

1. Unlock the bootloader

2. Flash a custom recovery (TWRP or the equivalent)

3. Update MIUI / Flash custom rom package without ARB and flash through TWRP

Is there anything i'm missing or anything i need to specifically avoid other than ARB?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] attitude12:
Just don't update your firmware (or update it with a ARB-less firmware), that's what will trigger ARB. Most of the customs rom don't contain firmware, only LOS advises you to flash a specific version, but MIUI roms do.

So you either steer away from those and flash fw-less roms, or you just delete the firmware-files folder from the rom and flash it without them.

This is my advice, before flashing anything, open the zip and check for the firmware folder. If it has it, delete it (unless is specified by the dev to flash that along the rom, in that case, just avoid it, there's a plethora of custom roms to choose from).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] drkdeath5000:
Ok thanks so i'll just stay clear of any roms containing the firmware folder for now. I do like LOS but if theres any risk associated i'll just give it a miss for now.

I also assume its easy to recover from a bad flash following the no firmware folder rule since theres no real risk associated with flashing just a ROM(no firmware)?

Finally, what about kernels and bootloader updates is there anything specific i need to watch out for there? I only ask because my previous device included a sneaky OTA update which locked the bootloader and i'd obviously like to avoid anything like that here.

Sorry for all the questions i'm just a bit behind on the flashing front, my previous device was a Motorola Razr HD and flashing seems to have changed quite a bit since then.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] attitude12:
No problems, happy to help if I can.

And yes, no risk if you don't flash firmware. Worst case scenario, you'll have to reflash a miui rom with MiFlash, which means losing your data, but imo it's better than bricking the device.

As for kernels and bootloader, you're good to go. Nothing will relock your bootloader (except flashing with MiFlash and selecting that specific option) and a kernel in the worst case will just give you a bootloop. Use backups. ?

And as far as LOS goes, you can flash it without the specified firmware (even tho I'm pretty sure it's an ARB3 firmware) but I guess there might be some small issues.
