So, I've talked to the reseller and they told they buy from an authorized seller, I think Xiaomi has done this to their own phone, the reason: the phone did came brand new, the box had the plastic around it and everything. The seller says he can't do anything cause since I've changed systems, there's no warranty.

I've found that the serial number from the phone is different from the box, which is quite an evidence that the phone is not a Mi A2 Lite, aside from the "sakura" product name.

Can the serial number or IMEI be changed just by wiping the phone through TWRP? I wonder if I didn't change it without knowing, cause I don't want to be dishonest and return the phone just because I kinda ****ed it up hahaha.

Here are some photos of the serial number, the box serial number is the code after "SN", right?

Hey, so I've discovered this "serialno" the fastboot gave me isn't actually the serial number of the phone, it's like a serial number of the motherboard. I'm trying the test points, actually already connected the phone thorugh 9008 port, but I don't know which rom to install, my device is sakura but I could only find MIUI sakura indian, and actually, I like better clean androids instead of MIUI, can I flash any ROM or only stock ROM?

Hey man, I need your help again, I'm trying to flash through EDL (did by test point) but when I lick to flash in MiFlash it asks for an authorized account, how do I get it?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] rob420p:
I would try to install a daisy official ROM before anything that was you shouldn't run into problema
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
No, is not possible to change IMEI without knowing as simple to wiping system, cache, etc through TWRP. After that I read some users reporting similar issues that yours, A2 devices running a different firmware that supposed to not come with so I realized that deffect is up Xiaomi side.

Some devices need an authorized account to work, there are some paid services out there, unfortunately there´s not a workaround regarding. I guess you tried through download mode and you opened the back cover?

I don´t think that you should have to say to seller that you try out something so device came modified and with unlocked bootloader out of the box plus a different IMEI and was not your fault, you did what you wanted with a device that any one in your place expect that is right as owner.

Probably you can try what stated by [MENTION=5612653]rob420p[/MENTION] I don´t think that it does so MiFlash detects like Sakura and probably not like Daisy but this could be your last chance before to take it to a repair center where only some box/dongle can revive it.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] GNDawg:
Oh, man, that sucks, paying to unlock it, damn it... I can only unlock it through MiFlash with an authorized account. The problem is I live in Brazil, I don't know if I'll find someone near me who understands chinese phones, I saw in other cases where people contacted Xiaomi that not even their employees would know something about authorizing an account, it's crazy.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
Did you see what happen connecting device through MiUnlock tool if you already created an account? I know you´d need to bind an account but maybe actually there are some options to link device to the MiAccount based on IMEI number. I just giving you an idea to search "how to bind a device through pc or other device so you can connect it with MiUnlock tool"

Other thing that you can try is formatting/resetting data through MiRecovery and see if it reboots.

And I´m not sure if actually works, I used in the past for a Xiaomi device with same snapdragon processor SD625 and it worked; you can use QPST tool to flash a stock Miui rom that contains the files needed using download mode.

And a fourth tip, use MiAssistant from MiRecovery, use all the files from your device instead of the files from this source http://en.miui.com/thread-3450268-1-1.html (probably you might need adb enabled but try it to be sure.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] GNDawg:
In MiUnlock, It says the account is not bound to the device. Didn't find anything about binding it through pc. My device doesnt have an IMEI number, it doesnt return a number at all, just blank. I already tried wiping through MiRecovery, but the phone doesnt a os at all, so it will just wipe and continue systemless.

I'll try QPST and MiAssistant. Thank you!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] GNDawg:
So, I have tried QFIL and EMMC DL Tool. QFIL takes too long to initiate flashing, and gives the sahara error "unable to read packet" which I had too in MiFlash, it was caused by flashing too long after entering EDL, but in QFIL I click download right after entering, and it start loading and loading, it probably takes too long to start, dunno. EMMC DL Tool gives me almost the same response, it starts loading and then says time's up for waiting the device, probably it is the same error as QFIL. Funny how in MiFlash it doesn't have that problem. I had some hope, do you think that QFIL would ask for the authorized account or just MiFlash does that?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
I suggest that you open here a thread https://xdaforums.com/redmi-6-pro/how-to so this thread is dedicated to Mi A2 lite and this is considered off-topic, Use a tittle like "Redmi 6Pro (fake Mi A2 Lite) bricked" explain briefly the issue and then post the link when you open it, I will move there and try my best to support.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] GNDawg:
Oh, okay! thank you for your support again! One thing I've discovered is that MI A2 Lite has "android one" written in it's back, while Redmi 6 Pro doesn't. My device has it written, so it's very confusing, maybe they installed wrong motherboards or did it to use an old motherboard. Don't know if it's a mi a2 lite or redmi 6 pro, I'll try to open a thread in a mi a2 lite forum also...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
Well, as what I understood the box that came with your device says Mi A2 Lite and also has different IMEI and all that you see on it will be relative with A2 Lite specs like "Android One" legend.

EDIT: Now I read well, you said that in the backover is written "androidone". then theory would be that is a device with missing assembled parts, backover, motherboard with different IMEIs than declared on box and box. Now an obvious question; Did you have Miui or Android Stock?

both models are slightly different although the specs are very similar about hardware, so if you compare one by one in some video like an "unboxing" on YouTube you will find them.

Guided in some things we have to conclude that is a Redmi 6 Pro, for example Mi A2 Lite doesn´t need permission to unlock it, is as simple as all the Android One out there no matter what brand, just a simple command and is done but you couldn´t now unlock it cause is not MA2L.

You have one more method to prove it, in fastboot mode type fastboot getvar current-slot if you receive "a" or "b" as answer then the partition scheme refers to a MA2L device and not a R6P.

When you have your IMEI then only so you clearly see what model is so the motherboard platform is where IMEI is linked.

Let me know result of this last command and when you open the thread send me the link, I have some tips for you. Additional you can open if you have yet some doubts though here in Mi A2 Lite Forum using for example "Not sure what model is........bricked"
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] rob420p:
This is like the 3rd or 4th time I've heard of someone going threw this
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] GNDawg:
Yeah, that's what I meant, it's written on the device's back. It came with Android One and Mi-Recovery 3.0 (such a mess).

fastboot getvar current-slot

current-slot:

So it gives me blank, strange...

Some infos I think are interesting:

version-bootloader:MSM8953_DAISY1.0_20181019193735

product:sakura

I've googled the bootloader version and found another 2 identical cases, in Brazil and in Singapure. They had a sakura product, with exactly the same bootloader version, and they locked the BL and now can't unlock it, they too had the same android one written on the back, although it was a sakura product. The singapure guy solved the issue paying the guys from s-unlock.

So now I'm pretty sure it's Xiaomi's fault, so pissed.

People are doing the tests on a ROM that still has memory issues, I would like them to try with MIUI 10 or Android Pie beta since most of the issues in the official Stock ROM are solved in those roms.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Neel@1234:
OP is talking about the multi core scores. Don't see how ROM issues would affect that score in different phones.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Yepi69:
When your memory speed is handicapped by a ROM bug, yes it affects the score.

I can reach 220Mbps read / 190Mbps write on the new Android Pie beta but the original official Stock ROM has about 119Mbps read / 67Mbps write.

Can confirm.

Single core: 1647

Multi core: 4744

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] hhspiny:
This is widely covered but only for personal accounts. I am with a large corporate account, hence not account owner. I got it resolved this morning.

since I don't own the account, verizon online does not allow me to "activate" it, and rep. called last Friday had no clue what I was talking about and insisted that any account changes would require account owner (i.e. my IT) to initiate.....

this morning, I called again, and the rep. knew exactly what I was talking about, saying it was the second time this morning she was involved in such with this phone. she add the CDMA less to the line right away, only asked my name and company's name. a reboot after, all works well. she was curious why people like the phone so much, and I told him it was exactly like galaxy s9 but 2/3 price.

Verizon definitely working on the issue, and they don't need anything about accounting etc to add the feature.

I am all happy. time to sell Mix 2S

That is normal I bought mine from China and been rooted since day one.

If you can't get oem unlock to show ireally don't know what to say.

I did not follow root directions I did it my way.

When you put a Sim card it activates rmm state lock that hides your oem unlock.

You can try a hard rest for 168 hour no reboot and don't disconnect from network if you do you have to start over.

Here is a long shot you can try remove Sim card and do a hard reset and reboot see if you can see oem unlock.

I am a contractor that builds cell sites for AT&T in Southern CA. We also install BDA's for customers that have poor indoor coverage. I am using the tilt and cannot figure out how to get the cell site id to show up while in test mode. Is the field test mode capable of showing this? Is there another program that I could install to have this ability? Having this ability would allow me to determine where the cell site is located in order to properly orient the donor antennas when we are doing a field. Also, does anyone have a link for what all the field test information is and what it means? I know most of them but a few of them are new to me. Any help would be much appreciated.
