I'm not familiar with the at version. Also maybe its already stated in the post and I miss it, did u try flashmode on flashtools and flash stock TFT?this is the first thing you wanna do in case of problems. For fastboot if I remember correctly you have to push search button and not the menu button, but I haven't my xplay with me.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Disenfranchised:
Hey, I did try flashing the stock firmware, the version is the AT&T version from the US. The problem with attempting to flash is Flashtool doesn't detect the phone. It sees that there's a phone plugged in, but flashing is impossible because it can't find the phone. I figured it must've been a driver issue, so I scoured the web to find drivers but only could find the 800a drivers, so I went ahead and attempted those, but not to no avail.

My next attempt to bring out Windows 7 and attempt to install the drivers on Windows 7, instead of 10. Just been a bit slow, and feeling a bit dejected on the whole project.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inaroom:
to install flashtools drivers in win 10 you need to disable uac but maybe you already did that. make sure the adb drivers are fully and correctly installe. have you tried flashing a kernel in fastboot mode by pushing the search button? also i would try to install r800i or r800a drivers. then i would suggest to make a little bit of search (i know you already did a lot...) to ensure that you can flash r800i or r800a firmware on your r800at and also try that route. i´m sorry i can´t help you more but i´m in europe and never worked on a r800at..
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Disenfranchised:
Hey, dont worry about it. This post is basically a hail mary for a phone that super old. I haven't tried flashing in fast boot because I have only ever gotten in fast boot once or twice. Fast boot is menu key correct? Cause I see conflict information all over the place.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inaroom:
i´m pretty sure it´s the search button for fastboot mode

Do you need a new battery?

Hi Disenfranchised,

I recently got out my old r800i GSM which was regularly being flung across the lounge by my kids, attached a charging cable and I had exactly the same boot loop issues as yours, but only as long as the phone was being charged. I ended up biting the bullet and buying a new battery and the phone started up. I ended up flashing Gin2Kat and it has been working well other than occasionally reverting back to the same behaviour for about an hour if the battery was completely discharged. The funny thing is when i finally manage to boot the phone at the right point during the boot loop cycle, the battery is only at 2%, meaning during the boot loop the battery is charging for maybe only a fraction of the on-off cycle.

It's a bit of an outlay (my battery was about GBP £10 - ebay). I now play SNES games on this every day during my commute. There are a few quibbles - the audio out port doesn't work (bluetooth audio works) and I get a wifi error but I ended up using Gin2Kat's apk installer to install my apps from micro-sd.

Anyway, it's a bit of a risk but see how it goes.

Fuzzy
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diverdown5150:
I have a question, and I'm aware this is a very old post for a very old phone, but how did you get your R800at into fastboot? I thought that model had it removed by at&t

I no longer need help with that anymore, testpoint very much still works and it's working well.

Hello everybody I I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 but I am tempted to switch to the LG v40 I am curious as to how the battery life is. I would really appreciate it someone can please tell me how the battery life is before I make a decision.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] clninja:
First full day with the phone, it lasted me from 6am to 11pm and I'm at 52% battery. I have 4 hours screen on time I'm pretty happy with it
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] MStrawder:
Only had mine 3-4 days, but it has been fairly solid so far. With screen always on mode enabled, lots of calls/texts and music streaming (Bluetooth and wired) I easily get a full day from the battery. I thought I'd hate that I couldn't upgrade the battery, but I may not find the need with this device.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] ToeJullar:
Coming from my LG G5 which had some of the worst battery life ever, this thing performs exponentially better.

As for actual results, similar to the other replies. It gets through the whole day, so long as I'm not having a long video binge session. Sips on the battery in idle.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] anl2304:
52% at 11 PM? wow, even if one accounts for variation in usage, that is excellent!
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] shoes22:
I too am getting exceptional battery life...way better than any previous LG phone, including the V20 which I’m upgrading from.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] SaintlySins:
Started the day at 100%.

4.3 hours of screen time.

80+ texts

24 emails

Surfed two websites

Downloaded 28 more Podcasts

1.75 hours of WAZE

10.5 hours later and I'm at: 46% battery.

That's WAAAAAY better than I ever got with the V20.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] DinoBuaya:
But that was all under WiFi right? How is it like when you are out and about on LTE all day?

Was that all on WiFi though?
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] SaintlySins:
Good question ... and sorry for the late reply, I went scuba diving for 14 days and now catching up.

It was on a mix of WiFi and LTE. Looking back on it, it was 2 to 3 hours of WiFi in the morning hours (downloading Podcasts, early morning text and e-mails, the rest of the day was mostly LTE as I got on the road for 45 minutes each way (WAZE), talked on the phone at same time (Bluetooth earbud & mic), office work (no WiFi and I turn off Bluetooth while leaving WiFi on), back to the car (WAZE) to other office across town with Bluetooth earbud and phone time), check in, turn off Bluetooth only, surf a few sites, more e-mails and texts, then it sits for a while before back in car (WAZE & Bluetooth ear & mic) several calls later I'm at the gym and it's the same Earbuds while podcasts play for 90 minutes. Then home which is back to WiFi and wrap up e-mails, texts and surf a few regular sites and Instagram.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

I am getting 'Phone Idle' drain. My usage consists of both WiFi and LTE. Anyone facing the same or any fixes? I am on Oreo 8.1, model V405EBW.

Thanks!
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
could it be from apps running in the background?
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] navazsayani:
I don't think so. I have disabled unused system apps and I used to use greenify but I uninstalled it considering that it might be messing with the system doze or sleep settings. But no luck yet, the phone Idle drain still exist.

Do you have phone Idle usage in your battery stats?

Thanks for reverting mate.

Welcome to the new thread of twrp flashable stock Android One for Mi A1

There will be only stable TWRP flashable builds of stock with no modifications.

All these builds of mine contain everything which a fastboot ROM does, so it's a complete replacement.

How to install

1. Reboot to TWRP (CosmicDan TWRP is recommended)

2. Wipe system, data, dalvik and cache. (if coming from a custom rom) (you may skip if coming from stock)

3. Install the ROM file.

4. Reflash TWRP installer (if you want to have TWRP installed in your phone later).

5. Install Magisk (if you want to have root).

6. Reboot to system.

Hey, can you share how you get the full source? like from MI official site or from Google directly? Do you mind sharing how you able to find the direct link to the full stock ROM of October security patch for Xiaomi A1 global?

I can't find it in official MI and I like to "Take bug report" to locate the OTA link that it tries to download and manually unpack the payload.bin, but Magisk seems can't patch the boot.img
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] talayy:
I just had payload file from official google OTAs which I decompiled using python codes and made a twrp flashable zip that just works well and yeah, I'll keep it up to date. You all will get TWRP flashable stock within a day of OTA release but only for stable versions.

I do get the payload.bin and able to extract the boot.img, but how you recompile into a full version? the payload.bin from Septemeber patch to October patch is 200 MB++ while the TWRP flashable stock you provided is 1.1GB, how you recompile it?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] talayy:
Payload bin from September to October is different from payload bin of October OTA as a full package. Also, I used kitchen + wrote updater script to flash it in A/B partition device (A1 in this case) using TWRP.

It is fine for me. Same as in other roms. On a side note, if you want more than official then flash a custom kernel e.g moun/franco and manually increase it.

If you have a backup of EFS partition (I hope so), try to restore it from TWRP booted from a PC. Then flash official fastboot ROM (clean all, don't relock bootloader) and format data from stock recovery or TWRP.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ayush2901:
I did not have the efs backup in advance (my mistake) but i never knew that there would be this severe a consequence for trying out the beta pie update. Now i am stuck with a bootlooping device. Is there a way to get around this fiasco in a case where i don't have my efs backed up? Thank you for your reply:)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] berlin51:
See my post on the previous page with a link to Joey Haub's TWRP fix, which uses his TWRP backup to restore the damaged partitions.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ayush2901:
I did copy it to my internal storage, twrp folder and all, but i can't see the backup in the restore menu. And do i restore it after going back to stock 8.1 or in pie itself?

EDIT : I placed it in the folder i made myself for a twrp backup and twrp was able to recognize it. Now to restore the backup, fingers crossed..
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] berlin51:
I do recall someone on the Telegram group say that the TWRP extracted folder should be put onto the external SD card to be properly seen by the recovery.

However, it can also be useful to have Cosmic Dan recovery as the preferred recovery, as it is perhaps more versatile.

In any case, extract the TWRP file from Joey Haub & see if it is seen on the SD external card.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ayush2901:
Do i restore it when i have flashed back the stock oreo 8.1 rom, or when i am on pie beta rom? Also, i have to restore only the efs partitions or the boot partition too? Thanks for your help, appreciate it!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] InnerSanctum:
I had no problem flashing the beta, thankfully. It is working great and fluid. Also, IMEI seems intact for me. Guess I'll be with it until official stable comes out, because I didn't backup with TWRP.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] berlin51:
As far as I know, having read the Telegram group, after the restoration you are good to go. In other words, do the partition restoration first.

Then, reboot to the original ROM or re-flash another if you want.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] LenAsh:
Interesting... TWRP can see the backup OK, but no partitions to restore...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] berlin51:
No partition to restore......reboot to recovery & try again?

As I mentioned, I am recalling info from the PE 9 Telegram group, where the same corruption happened after installing the December modem file from the Stock Pie beta.

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

It is possible that Cosmic Dan TWRP recovery is needed to do the fix. Not sure, as I am quoting from the PE Telegram group.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] LenAsh:
Done that... get the correct "TWRP" name, but no partitions shown.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ayush2901:
Make a twrp backup of your own device, then place the '2018-12-06--15-41-27_PQ1A181205006' folder (from downloaded twrp folder, the fix one) inside the backup folder you just made. You will find the name of the folder (inside TWRP ---> BACKUPS) to be something like '1cbc6a260104'.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] saski4711:
I tried that but I cannot select any partition to restore. None are shown. Same with the TWRP.7z that's floating around here. Any Idea why?

That worked... still bootloops though.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sipollo:
Try formatting data.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] LenAsh:
That worked!

IMEI 1 and 2 seems OK too...

Many thanks all.

EDIT: TL DR = I did 2 things, the partitions/modem backup and the data format. My belief is that I only needed the data format. For anyone alse with the AndroidOne bootloop issue.

Going to try and revert back to oreo tomorrow just for referrence, if something wrong happens, i'll report here.

I remember people having issues regarding imei and payload.img (I guess that's how it is called) suddenly vanishing when flashing custom roms and it seems that similar case is here, important data getting corrupted, but myself never had any issues at all, everything was intact all the time.

It could be the case, that different hardware revisions is the thing here, same thing happened with my earlier S5, a lot of people couldn't downgrade os, but my phone allowed me anything. So yeah, that's that

As this was beta. Due to even leaks of prior beta by some users. This time I guess beta builds they make sure they disabled various non regional bads. The country wise bands are supported only. And as this is the last update they will be also making sure with first security update they will give you best performance and at last they will be pushing updates to make sure system gets sluggish and you somehow feel like changing.

Alright guys so all those issues of reverting back to Oreo might be xiaomi's official step towards next update. If same happens on Stable Pie which might be rolling out in 24 hours (I will post TWRP package as soon as it's available), then we can only rely on TWRP backups, EDL ways or any other possible unofficial method to revert back to Oreo.

Secondly, even this build is damn smooth and I haven't faced any bug in my 24hrs usage so I personally don't feel the need to revert back.

At last, you can't flash any TWRP because devs need to update it according to PIE boot image. However, to flash next stable pie update via TWRP, you can hotboot cosmic dan's recovery by "fastboot boot <recovery name>" and dirty/clean flash it over pie beta.

I think your phone will reboot just fine, just that trying to boot to recovery will show a 'system destroyed' sign. Just dont try to downgrade by flashing stock 8.1 and you should be fine

Stable release within 24 hours?

And yeah, my words exactly about it being damn smooth - it's really really smooth, I'd say the best ROM now.

It could be also the case of the issues due to the security. It could be various reasons for Xiaomi to messing our phones in such a way from a low-level side. Either way, I'm really happy with Pie beta and IN NO WAY I'LL DOWNGRADE TO OREO.
