[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drugoli:
I've been using my Xperia Z5 for roughly 2 years without problems, but lately I've experienced a rather annoying issue regarding headphone use and the microphone (the one built into the phone, NOT one attached to a headphone):

After using the headphones to for example listen to music, the microphone will stop working, unless the headphones are plugged in. This is regardless of app (I've tested: sound recorder app, Google Assistant and phone call). It doesn't seem to be because the phone thinks the headphones are connected because: (I) it uses the built in microphone when the headphones are connected, (II) the speakers function as normal without headphones.

The only way to fix this, seems to be a reboot. After that the microphone works until headphones are used again.

Sony support suggested resetting the phone, however this didn't help. I've also tried searching both Google and XDA, but haven't found anyone else with the same problem.

The only thing that's changed since the issue started appearing, is that I janked on the connector on my headphone cable, which meant it got a bit loose. This in turn means it can disconnect if the connector or cable is moved in a certain way (though I haven't yet been able to figure out the exact movement or if it's the connector or the cable). I've already ordered a replacement cable.

I think the problem may be related to this disconnect that happens when the headphones are still plugged in. However, after this occurs, it doesn't matter what headphone/set is used, and plugging in a headphone WITH a microphone will function without issues (though disconnecting will still make the built in mic stop working).

Hello,

i have a big problem with my varioIII. a 3g/hsdpa connection cannot be established. only GPRS is working properly. has anyone the same problem? maybe solved it?

i can`t switch to "auto" in the Preferences-tab for Network-Type. this won`t work. when i do so, then there is shown the "H" in the upper line. but not for a long time. after a few seconds the connection is totally lost. it is like there is no service. but it is. i can only switch to "GSM". the there comes the "G" and everything works fine. but i like to have a 3g oder Hsdpa connection. maybe a problem with the radiorom? i am using the last nothill firmware with wm6.1. but the problem came while i was using the original htc image. but i think it was not always like that. i can remember times when there was a 3g oder an H in the upper line.

thank you for help

[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] sixtheninth:
Hi folks,

Perhaps few of you active people have already noticed my desperate pleas for help around XDA. I hard bricked my phone in a silly fashion whilst downgrading from OPP28.65-37 to stock nougat rom as I lost functions in the former due to its incompatibility with its montana siblings. XT-1799-2 despite being and upgunned version has the least support in general and I doubt anyone would care to include it into any custom ROM family or even press on a fully working Android 8.1 or even higher for this device. All I want now is my phone back, rooted and with a working system. For that I need your help.

So, could I find any good soul who would provide me or even create for me a 'mmcblk0.img from their Montana Oreos with bootloader matching OPP28.65-37 ?? Sadly I am not sure what the version is, but someone pointed out it might as high as 12. Could you check for me? Muchas gracias!

Is there perhaps a way to install TWRP on a phone with a locked blocked bootloader??:confused:

[P8lite General] persona78:
Use rollback rom.

I don't know if there is a emui3 rom online to install next.

.
[P8lite General] FrikkieSoekTiete:
I have managed to unlock the bootloader by getting the bootloader unlock code with DC unlocker for 4EURO.

I first tried your way by trying to downgrade to emui 3 but got bootloop and this has been resolved by update.app of the original version(which i had trouble searching for)

If the downgrade method doesnt work for your version i.e. other than C432 i suggest just unlock it with DC it really works.
[P8lite General] davidkejzlar:
I've downgraded yesterday and it works like charm. You must follow the procedure, first install rollback package, then B170.

Both packages are hard to find (Huawei has removed all links from their pages), so you have to google it.

ROLLBACK package is named

HUAWEI_P8 Lite_Rollback transition Package_ALE-L21_From Android 6.0 EMUI 4.0 to Android 5.0 EMUI 3.1_C900B500.zip

and Android package

ALE-L21C432B170.....

(for unbranded european version, for other versions it's different one)

yes

but it is vodafone branded C02.. which seems to be the problem from what i have found?

is there any way to downgrade/unlock on the branded version?
[P8lite General] Icone24:
My phone was MEO branded and i found no problems downgrading.

First i used the rollback rom, then i got the balong rom bug, after that i flashed B133 rom and still had the balong bug, inside was 2 update.app files, one (bigger) i flashed first, and the second (inside CUSTOM folder) i flashed in the end through the phone updater (local update in settings) and it solved the balong bug.

However my phone is the Single Sim version.

You can try this if your phone is single sim.

If not use the b170 rom for dual sim variant.

from which firmware did you downgrade? is it a difference between emui 4.1 and 4.0?

were you on the latest firmware available? if so, when did you do the downgrade, if you can reconstruct that?
[P8lite General] backamblock:
bought the DC Unlocker code now.. man that was painless.. 4€ totally worth it!

so to C02 (Vodafone) users.. dont bother trying.. you just waste time and SSD space ;)

all of the X Versions out there dont work

btw.. xiaomi ftw in this regard. unlocking is done by official xiaomi software, painless except for 3days waiting for the code. but no proprietary drivers you would need whatsoever on every host/VM config.. samsung always just crashes the server lol, let's see how this one does.. just bought it because the seperate sim slots.
[P8lite General] Icone24:
Well I'm glad that at least you have unlocked your bootloader, I'll post a tutorial with all the steps I've made in order to see if someone can use it and avoid paying 4€ to DC unlocker code.

If it doesn't work, well, that is the last option.
[P8lite General] backamblock:
don't worry, your explanations already are good. and the rest is pretty clear how to do in once you try.. just put it on an SD and hope for the best :)

but i think there is no other option, at least for my phone. i tried around 30 different roms, and only the vodafone stock ones werre accepted so i could get back to b589 max, which wasnt enough.

but now that it works, it works pretty flawless.. it is not a new phone but well enough for a secondary daily driver

Hi ,

So after finally the bootloader is unlocked I tried to flash the global rom via mi flash tool.

Update failed and an error message is update crc list failed !

I tried flashing back the chinse rom and I get the same error.

I can boot the device to recovery mode, but its mi recovery 3.0, I have 3 options:

1.wipe data

2. boot to system

3. connect via pc suite

tried with pc suite but it says my device isn't supported.

The computer recognizes the device via MiFlash tool but in adb via cmd when I type adb devices I get blank row and its unable to find the device.

how can I make my phone usable again please?

I have tried many things I found on google but nothing worked.

Have you tried the first option, wipe data?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Agimax:
Don't panick, since you have fastboot mode it's not bricked. Let's start by booting into TWRP.

Download TWRP and put it in the same directory with your FASTBOOT.exe file.

Open a windows dos prompt and get to the same directory as your FASTBOOT file.

Reboot your phone into FASTBOOT mode.

in your DOS prompt type "Fastboot boot yourrecoveryfilename.img" (change the yourrecoveryfilename.img to the TWRP recovery image file you downloaded)

your phone should reboot into TWRP if there wasn't an error. TWRP won't be permanent (if you reboot out of TWRP it won't retain it), but will allow you to flash ROM.

I've only ever flashed all my ROMs through TWRP, never used anything else since i unlocked the phone.

Let me know how this goes.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] dancarriv:
Hello all.

Big screw up, I think. So I've had my MI 8 for a while now, no issues, until today I decided to install official lineage on it. The bootloader was unlocked. I flashed TWRP, but every time I rebooted the phone, it would go back to stock recovery, not TWRP. So here the issue started:

- Via Mi flash tool, I reflashed global MIUI 10 back to stock. I didn't realize I had relocked the bootloader...

- I tried reflashing TWRP without realizing I had relocked the bootloader.

- Thinking that the TWRP flash was done incorrectly again, I simply wanted to go back to stock, and attempted to use the mi flash tool to reflash, once again, the global stock MIUI 10. the flash tool said it was a success. (I still didn't realize I was on a locked bootloader)

- I am now on a bootloop. I can't get past the stock recovery screen, but I can go into fastboot. The recovery screen has a warning that the ROM cannot be used on the phone.

- I tried re unlocking the bootloader with the unlock tool, but because my Mi account credentials are not input on the phone (the phone was wiped clean), I cannot re unlock it.

What can I do? How can I get out of the bootloop, and hopefully re unlock and flash global rom clean again?

In the last two weeks, the shortcut keys stopped working in my phone. When the phone is locked and I press twice the Volume-down key, the camera should launch - but it doesn't. The same with Volume-up.

Turning the shortcut keys off-and-on in the settings doesn't help. The only thing that helps for a while is the phone restart. For some time after phone restart, the shortcut keys work, but when I actually need to use them, they don't.

Does anyone know how to fix the shortcut keys?

My guess is that this problem is related either with the last firmware update (Android 8.0.0, sw version V20c-EUR-XX, build OPR1.170623.032, Android security patch level 2018-08-01), or with the AppLock program that I've installed lately. Though the latest firmware was described as a fix for Google services, it noticeably changed many more things than just the Google services, process management in particular. And this shortcut-keys problem may be another consequence of the patch.

You must check if your phone supports MHL. :) I think it does not work on Mi Max 3 but please check :)

Apps created for "checking" MHL support are craps.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] brasscupcakes:
this is an old post but in case anyone else is reading this no recent Xiaomi devices support MHL.

The only wired workaround is to combine a displaylink adapter with Displaylink Presenter app from the Play store.

There are varied reports as to whether the connection is stable enough for games.

I didn't use this solution myself. It wasn't important enough to me. The cheapest appropriate adapter was about fifty bucks on Amazon (occasionally goes on sale for about 35).

If anyone needs more information google displaylink presenter plus Xiaomi to find posts from those who used the workaround.

I really wish MHL was still offered on recent model phones. Screencasting isn't even close to a wired connection and some xiaomi models are better at it.

Mi Max 3 is dreadful (worked ok out of box but not stable after updates) . Whereas my cheaper Redmi Note 5 screencasting function is extremely stable.
