[Xiaomi Redmi S2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gueztar:
Hello guys.

I've seen this device development for custom rom and custom recovery are slow (they did it in privat currently, invited user or someone who want to join). The unofficial twrp having issue with encrypted device (asking for password). So internal storage in twrp isnt accesible and need to format data to make it works. Of course ROOTING with TWRP is still POSSIBLE by placing magisk to extSdcard anyway.

And this guide is a SECOND chance for you who wants to ROOT your phone WITHOUT TWRP. But, need a PC. The root method here are from magisk thread https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 .

Things needed :

- Unlocked Bootloader

- PC with ADB and Fastboot installed

- boot.img of your miui rom. You can grab it (open with winRar) from fastboot firmware (.tgz) xiaomi redmi S2. Download the firmware file in xiaomi site or in this section thread. The version are reccomended to be the same as your current miui version.

- Magisk Manager.apk https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v6.0.1/MagiskManager-v6.0.1.apk

- Know how to use minimal adb and fastboot.

Again this method does not need root, and also does not require a custom recovery. boot.img & UBL is a must.

1. Open Magisk Manager

2. Press Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File, and select your boot.img file

3. Magisk Manager will now patch your boot image, and store it in Internal Storage/Download/patched_boot.img

4. Copy the patched boot image to your PC. Place it in Minimal ADB & Fastboot directory.

5. Flash the patched boot image to your device. Here is the command :

fastboot flash boot boot.img

6. If adb say "Okay" twice, mean it succesfully.

Type : fastboot reboot

7. Wait your phone to reboot.

8. Voila!

I've done this method with my Redmi 5 Plus and not having any issue. Technically, bootloop risk are very low. Because magisk disable dm-verity.
[Xiaomi Redmi S2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gueztar:
I dont know someone already make a guide about this here. But its not detailed. So, ill keep this thread on. For root with custom recovery TWRP here.
[Xiaomi Redmi S2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Reynold29:
Actually we have a developer working for our device. And also, we have our own forum and a treble supported TWRP and a special GSI for our device. The only thing which is not working in the GSI is there VoLte. Please visit our forum mi-ysl.tk

This module enables the earpiece to be used as a secondary speaker while playing music or videos.

The tasha mixer is similar to the other SD devices.

Download v1 : AFH

Download v1 [Custom] : DRIVE [Based On AOSIP Fox Rom]

Changelog :

v1 - Initial Release

Flash this module at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage to your device.

It is a common misconception that stereo speaker mods break your earpiece, but most of the times you'll be fine till there are no distortions in the sound from earpiece.

I had to go through several threads in order to port this mod.

Been using the rom for 2 days now. Great rom, no significant lags. There seem to be a bug with the double-taps.

I can confirm that Magisk is compatible with this rom.

- Double tap to sleep only blackens the screen, but doesnt lock device. Have to press power button to get it locked.

- Double tap to wake doesnt work.

Keep up the good work man!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] wurst_wasser:
Hey everybody,

I was on LOS 15.1 for a rather long time and I wanted to try RR, so as usual I backed up my system and tried to flash the RR-rom.

It did not work at all and I got several errors among which error 7 and the unability to mount system partition were the most prominent.

The device got bricked several times but I got it back to life with MiFlashTool, running either MIUI 8.5 or MIUI 9.

The strange thing is that even after flashing the MIUI-img - and basically bringing the device back to its factory firmware - I could not flash a rom.

I tried several recoverys; the latest TWRP, the TWRP linked in the LOS15.1 thread and OrangeFoxRecovery. None of them would work. I wiped all partition, nothing worked. I got different errors shown, most of them were error 7 or not being ablke to mount system, as stated before.

Right now I am back to MIUI and rooted it, which worked from OrangeFox, but I actually would like tzo run a custom rom again.

Any idea what I could do?

Cheers!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] wurst_wasser:
Noone who has an idea why it would not work?

I thought that after flashing via Flashtool the phone would be as good as new and all prioir changes would be gone? Wha can I not flash anything via recovery and get erros?

Or are there different versions of Orange Fox Recovery? RR would be treble, so I would need a treble recovery.

Cheers!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Gouravgamer:
Have you tried to format internal storage?:rolleyes:

If not backup data in sdcard or pc and format it using recovery.

Are you using trble supported recoveries?

Did you encrypted your data while using Lineage OS?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] wurst_wasser:
Hey,

well, yes, I encrypted data but since reinstalling MIUI via Flashtool this is gone. And I thought that this should be enough and reflashing it via MiFlash is like a factory reset? Is there anything I did not consider?

After Flashtool did not do the trick, wiped everything but External memory in TWRP, no kelp either.

I also did the normal wipe (where you dont have to choose which partition), this did not help.

As I said, I am currently on the latest OrangeFox Recovery but I also tried the latest TWRP and the TWRP in the LOS 15.1-Thread, which did not help.

To my knowledge all of the are treble recoverys?

I also tried to restore a vackup of LOS which did not work...

I flashed
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Gouravgamer:
When you reply quote, I didn't get notifications for your reply.

Your bootloader is unlocked and you installed Twrp recovery.

Try copying Rom zip to SD card and wipe system, data, cache, dalviks cache, internal storage (exclude sd card off course). Then install it.

It should work
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] wurst_wasser:
As I said, I did all of this, yet it does not work.

After wiping I tried to flash RR rom...

I get "Patching system image unconditionally...

Then I get E1001: Failed to update system image. (in white)

Updater process ended with: ERROR 7 (in red)

Error installing zip file 'patch...' (in red)

Updating partition details (in white)

Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid Argument) (in red).

As I said, that happens with different recoverys and different roms (treble and non treble)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Gouravgamer:
Are you sure the Rom you installating is for your device because error 7 occured if the rom you are trying install is not for your device.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] wurst_wasser:
Yes, of course, it was the correct ROM. Before error 7 I got error 1001 and I guess this was the initial problem.

My guess it that the problem was the decrypted partition which I did not format in twrp in my first go. Every wipe and format afterwards somehow did not help...

Now after having flashed recovery and different roms 10 times and using miflash 10 times it worked and now I am on RR. Don't ask me what eventually did the trick.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Gouravgamer:
Great to know :o

I hated MIUI because of the bloatware and ads. Have fun using RR. If you want you can use Liquid Remix Pie its a great ROM. :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] wurst_wasser:
Yes. I also did not like MIUI that much, that's why I was using Lineage before I wanted to try RR: Thanks for the advice for anothe rom.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Shojimeguro:
i fix this issue by format data, not only wipe then restart the recovery and install the ROM, then finally it works !
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] hish_2005:
How did you format? noob :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] PrettyflyforWifi:
If I format data, then I have to reboot into the recovery menu to be able to use data again. But this is impossible, because it gets stuck into the bootloop every time I try to reboot. Any other option to fix this error?

EDIT:

I could fix it myself:

1. MIUI latest version; flash with MiFlash.

2. flash TWRP with e.g. YUware

3. flash latest fw_vendor in TWRP

4. full update pixel expierence (NOT incremental) rom flash

5. Partitions/Data/Format

6. Reboot and ready to use
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Oodles47:
Sorry for venting.

Don't know where to post this, but after the last November update, my Mi A2 broke. It gets into a boot loop or won't boot at all and urges me to do a factory reset.

So I did and it didn't fix a thing. The problem still exists. The only way to 'fix' it, is to remove my SIM card. Cause why would I need a SIM card in a phone, right?

This is the third Xiaomi product that I own (out of three in total), that has update troubles. My Mi Pad 3 doesn't get international updates, so I have to look outside the official channel (I use miui.it for that, bless those guys). My Mi Box 3 is a total disaster. WiFi drops all the time or it won't boot at all unless I unplug it and replug it again. And now this with my Mi A2.

I can live with having troubles with my tablet and TV box, but not with my phone. Even though it's my second phone, I still need it for daily usage. And now I can't use it, due to a messed up update. Again.

I don't know how to fix it. I don't even know if there's going to be a fix at all since most people don't seem to have this problem.

In that case, I will probably have to wait till the next update and hope it gets fixed by then.

If it doesn't get fixed very soon, I will return this phone and get me another one. I don't think this will be much of a problem, cause I can't use my phone for what it's meant to do right now. As I said, it's the third Xiaomi product I own that has update troubles and I'm done with it. I'm not expecting any support coming from Xaomi, cause apparently, they don't care much about giving support over there.

This is the last Xiaomi product I will ever buy. My next phone will be a normal and trustworthy brand again.

I gave Xiaomi a try, cause it looked promising, but it seems it's better to pay a bit more for a proper phone (or tablet or TV box or whatever) instead.

Honestly, don't buy Xiaomi.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] zenjedi:
Wrong place to vent and sorry I don't have a solution.

But I couldn't agree more with your point on pay more to buy a proper phone. It seems xiaomi are slowly missing the consistency from their value proposition.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
Yeah seems like the wrong forum to me also...

but, I'd guess, assuming you've done no other mods to the device, the update failed. Normally (or as designed), the device should try to boot the update once or twice, if it fails (as it has), it should then set the other slot to active and boot the previous version OS without the update (obviously).

One thing re returning the device; they sometimes turn it on to verify it boots up. Because your's won't (at this time), that *could* be a problem.

What u want to do next is try to get the device to boot from the other slot (the one that was previously working). I'd try booting it a few times first, to see if the automatic resetting of the slot eventually kicks in.

If that doesn't work, try booting into Recovery (hold vol up and power at same time) and see if there is an option to change the active slot. If not, try booting into fastboot mode (hold vol down and power button at same time), it may have options to change the slot, and if you can connect it to yer computer with usb, and fastboot see's the device, you can then change the active slot with fastboot commands.

Hi,

I've looked everywhere before writing this so please forgive me as I saw there are a number of threads similar to this but couldn't find an answer.

Have rooted the phone a few days ago and flashed the Alexis Rom Oreo2.1S9PORT. As I had several apps that where acting up (no MIcrosoft Active Sync, no Outlook notifications among other things) I made a bit of a mess of it and decided to reset the phone by erasing all contents. As I went to boot up again the phone was in loop.

It goes on download mode and have tried with ODIN to reflash AP, BL, CP, CSC read everywhere looked on youtube but Odin fails each time. I've downloaded samsung drivers and firmwares to have Samsung Oreo back but to no avail.

Could someone please give me a hand in restarting the phone somehow? It's now in loop and I will wait until it dies down from battery failure as suggested in some threads in here.

Sorry to pester you.
