I am in Twrp and going to install persist.img. But I cannot see the option of persist partition. I only have partition option for boot, Recovery, System image, Vendor, Vendor Image. What should I choose?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gatsuu:
TWRP---->install----->install image---->select persist.img----->select persist partition.

If you don't see a persist partition, you must change the recovery.

Use TWRP 3.2.3 0918, you can download it on the first post.

Thanks!

Manage to enter twrp and flashed. Now all my sensors are back!

Just a note : your twrp.img cannot be boot. I'll just stuck at first screen with logo. What I did was to flash it into recovery.

For example this command doesn't work with your twrp version in the beginning

fastboot boot twrp.img

But this works

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

then

fastboot boot twrp.img

Mi 8, sensors not working, flashing persist.img doesn't help

Hello folks

My persist partition is broken (all the sensors aren't working). I flashed the latest global firmware and TWRP via fastboot. Got persist.img from fastboot firmware and flashed it through TWRP, but to no avail. Dug a bit further in terminal and found that persist partition is in `/dev/block/sda14` (`/dev/block/by-name/persist` is a symlink to `/dev/block/sda14`). Apparently the system rewrites this partition on load. I checked an md5 of this file before flashing persist, after flashing persist and after rebooting to system and back to recovery, and they are different. I tried changing file permissions from 600 (read and write for owner) to 400 (only read for owner), but the system reverts it back. Any chance I can somehow block this file from system overwrite?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sectorian:

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Here is a possible solution: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79824537&postcount=2

Alternatively, you can use flashall.bat to restore the phone using a stock fastboot rom . Instructions here : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80825243&postcount=2

Ideally if you have a full TWRP backup, restore your persist backup images. never flash someone else's persist image.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SaitoNakamura:
Thanks, I'll try that. Though, are you sure that path is /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist? bootdevice is a file in my case and there's a symlink /dev/block/by-name/persist that looks at /dev/block/sda14

The problem is, standard firmware doesn't flash persist, cause it's write-protected (not in EDL). But to flash it is via EDL actually requires EDL-authorized account, which I don't have. And right now, there's no way to make your account EDL-authorized (previously there was a thread on Mi forums, but now it's gone)

Yeah, but unfortunately I don't have backup, bummer
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
When I had the exact same issue in July 2019, my phone would not enter fastboot or recovery and yet I was able to use a flashall.bat. It's possible that I used the Global beta fastboot rom, I never saw any messages about needing EDL credentials. However, my bootloader was unlocked and the phone is bound to my account. As far as I know, the EDL credentials issue only applies to locked bootloaders, and not having the correct credentials to log in the MiCloud account.

However, you can and should try using the flashall.bat method in fastboot mode and that will definitely work, But you could still have an issue connecting to data and WIFI. If you are able to get a wifi signal for long enough to log into your account, you may be fine.

If that fails, root the phone,

Then try following instructions from here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=906971&view=findpost&p=77405784

Again , just use a beta fastboot. Just make sure that it is compatible with your device. I think that I used : dipper_global_images_9.6.27_20190627.0000.00_9.0_global_30e0fc22ef

As I mentioned, I have had this issue myself, resolved it, and the steps that I used also worked for several other people. Search XDA for this issue and you will find those cases.

Finally I want to reiterate that although you will find a lot of post online about this particular issue : many of these posts have people sharing a persist image. Whatever you try, do not use someone else's persist image TWRP backup or you could end up with a permanent issue.

No doubt it sucks about no back up, but don't get discouraged just try another fastboot rom, until you finally get in. last week a guy solved this issue flashing an Oreo rom using fastboot and flashall.bat.

Persist partion becomes corrupted because of the reasons the op said, additional is when you bypassed a mi account. To fix this if the twrp method does not work, you need to flash persist partion via QFIL app on pc. Phone should be also on EDL Mode
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
It'is fixable in fastboot, look throughout the Mi8 threads and you will find cases where I had the issue and then helped others.

The absolute best solution is to have a complete backup that you can restore. Also you need to use a special version of TWRP

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Javi22:
So I have been 1 day with the phone, but I am thinking about reverting to Oreo for two reasons:

1) Maybe better stability/better in overall right now?

2) Xposed and more customization might worth it?

I wonder If Oreo is better for thiese reasons at the moment, just maybe because of Xposed and Gravitybox. But I have no idea actually. I also wonder If GB makes the phone laggier or less snappy (with Nexus 5X I noticed it)

These are some example of the things I would expect to work better in 8.0

- I feel ringtone/notification volume too low....

- I would like to customize led notification (more frequent blink....), customize button nav bar....as well as many other things GB might be able to do

- Facial recognition is not working at all, always need to use fingerprint which also does not work every time

- Also the voice recognition (assistant) is not working properly! For ok Google detection neither...

So I have the feeling 9.0 maybe does not worth it too much at this moment.

Thank you for your responses!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TheSt33v:
1. I've had a 2 XL since launch and I've noticed no difference in stability between 8.0 and 9.0. Both have been extremely smooth for me. As for "better overall," that's subjective.

2. That's also subjective.

-I'm not aware of a decrease in volume parameters in 9.0, so you would have to use xposed and/or modify system files to increase this. If you want to use xposed, you'll have to go back to 8. If you want to modify system files, you can do that on either version.

-I can't comment on facial recognition because I've never used it. As for fingerprint recognition, I've noticed no difference between 8.0 and 9.0. If it's really bad, it might be a hardware problem. I actually had to RMA a phone because fingerprints almost never worked. The replacement usually works unless the scanner or my fingers are dirty/sweaty/oily and in that case, wiping it off fixes the issue.

-Voice recognition works perfectly on my phone for both 8.0 and 9.0, so I doubt that downgrading will change that for you.

Ok, thank you very much, it helps.
