I have three Questions:

Can I just boot from the recovery?

Does This works on Redmi note 8 Pro?

If I have to flash the recovery, can I go back to stock recovery after rebooting?

Thanks in advance (Sorry for my mabey bad english i´m using a translator)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
Unfortunately, I never tried on my RN8P, so I can't tell you for sure.

The problem with the first question is that sometimes, when the device is unlocked, the encryption is triggered, so you should need to flash a zip that prevent it.

All the trick reside in not to boot to OS, directly, cause the unlock process contains some script to erase completely data, I mean, you don't need to flash or boot to recovery, but I put this part only to bypass the previously mentioned.

In case you need to flash a custom recovery, you can, at any time, flash again a stock recovery.

Actually, for MediaTek devices you have this tool https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient, you can back up any partition including data, prior to unlock bootloader, then, you can restore them later.

SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE

I need you to clarify a doubt. My phone (redmi note 8 miui 11) is in bootloop after I change the dpi. I don't want to lose the data. The only solution I found is to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP and update the room but I didn't enable usb debugging, just developer mode. Is there nothing to do in this case? My only way out is to factory format?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
Flash a ROM.

How can i make this work for Huawei? For Android and Emui 8.0 spesifically with locked bootloader and usb debunking disabled
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
Sorry mate, this is a total different approach, I mean, this is out of the scope of this thread, you say that your bootloader is locked, this is the idea, we try here to preserve data after to unlock bootloader, unlocking bootloader, in case you are asking that, is not possible (by normal means) without enabling USB debugging, in MediaTek devices there are some workarounds though, anyway, as I said you, your question deserves a new place, and personally I think, a better explanation too, about what exactly you are trying to achieve.

For example, in case your device doesn't have a specific forum, you should place your question here: https://xdaforums.com/f/general-questions-and-answers.456/

is this confirmed to work on MIUI 13?

I am on MIUI Global 13.0.13.0 on a Redmi Note 10 Pro

I want to unlock bootloader but without needing to wipe.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Atexor:
Confirmed on POCO F4. Phone just rebooted twice and wiped without backing to Fastboot :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Zibri:
to avoid wipe you MUST hold volume down and follow what I wrote in my post:

https://xdaforums.com/posts/87483433/
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Atexor:
I knew about holding volume button down. I've read few quides on xda and another sites. All was similar - they always said about holding volume down key, but differences were between using adb commands or Mi Unlock application.

So, even after accesing fastboot mode I still pressed VolDown key. It looks that Xiaomi changed something in newer phones. Maybe it will work for someone on another phone, but I recommend making backups just in case.

I don't think this would work today because in the latest version of miflash_unlock I'm assuming it reboot automatically therefore we would need older version
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Zibri:
Yes, it does work.

It has nothing to do with MIUI.

This program modifies the kernel directly.

It works also on different phones and brands.

which version of mi flash unlock did you use?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Andrea_98:
Unfortunately I don't remember. I guess I used the one that you could download from the official Xiaomi website in that moment, but I don't remember which version it was.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] vikaskrishnan:
I found a note on this recent project on GitHub about which Xiaomi phone models are tested to have their user data (internal storage or /data partition) deleted or not deleted upon a successful bootloader unlock.

It seems to be valid since I recently unlocked the bootloader on my spare Redmi Note 4 (codename mido) and noticed my data was intact after the reboot. However, it does look like Xiaomi wants us to use the latest miflash_unlock version (v7.6.727.43) for bootloader unlocking no matter how old/legacy the devices are.

Going forward, I wish to unlock the bootloader on my Redmi Note 6 Pro mobile (codename tulip) without any loss of existing data. It's not that I haven't backed up my data, but just that I'm not happy with the limited backup options available on a device with a locked bootloader. Another reason I don't want to just let go of my data is because I'm currently using adoptable storage with an SD card formatted partly as internal storage.

After watching quite a few YouTube videos on this topic, it seems like unlocking the bootloader on my Note 6 Pro (tulip) is probably going to wipe the data right after the bootloader is unlocked. Now I wonder if anyone has ever checked whether it's possible to prevent that wipe operation by forcing the reboot to enter fastboot mode again (and a couple more times just to be sure) by holding down the volume down key before the bootloader unlock reaches 100% on the unlock tool and also while sending the

fastboot reboot

during the subsequent reboots. Would love to hear any such experiences before I get the confidence to try this out myself.

How and where to run command "fastboot oem device-info" ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
While your device is in fastboot mode, but, this is only to know the exact model, in case, you already know it, then avoid it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] vikaskrishnan:
I see you used the MiFlash Unlock v3.3.525.33, but any idea if this process still applies to the latest client version (v7.6.727.43)!? Looks like this is the only version that lets me to successfully log in right now.

Also, did you try to reboot to fastboot using the VolDown method as a few others have mentioned in this thread?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
Well, the Mi Flash Unlock tool version, has nothing to do with this procedure, but for some errors on login in, maybe.

I don´t understand the need to boot to fastboot using commands, so no problem at all to boot to fastboot mode, either using commands, or using the hardware buttons.

And, if you refer to unlock bootloader using commands, no, it´s not possible for Xiaomi devices that use Miui OS.

[Magisk] LukaPochi:
I tried the version 16.7, 17.1, and 17.3.. all of them make me to get stuck in the bootloader ( MI logo turn on and then off rebooting).

The 16.4 makes me boot to the ROM, but in magisk manager it says that I still don't have the root rights.

I'm trying to figure it out for hours but seems that I can't get the root at all.. any of you know how to fix this? Thanks.. :crying:

At least if magisk is not working, there's a version of SuperSU compatible with android 9?
[Magisk] lolo9393:
I got the same issue. It is may because we dirty flashed different version.

In my case Xplore apk was disabled from root access without reason. I just uninstalled/reinstalled it and that brings back the root.

It’s in all apps and the fingerprint reader scroll is also not as sensitive. I have a thin film protector on the front but I have the same on the Pixel 2 XL and can barely touch it and it responds. LG vs Samsung?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] superchilpil:
Could be a quality control issue. Just because it's the same brand doesn't mean it will behave exactly the same. Could be thicker in that portion and cause touch issues
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Tanquen:
Maybe the material makeup changes in different areas if quality control is really bad I guess. But I don't think the material is interfering with the touch sensitivity I think you would have to visually be able to see it's thicker in certain areas for to make a difference. I've got another one on the way and hopefully it changes things.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] slfepnipl:
Top left of screen not sensitive anymore?

Something similar happened to my Google Pixel 3XL too. Top left corner not as sensitive as compared to when I first got it, not sure why?

Initially, I thought it's due to my new screen case, but after removing and putting it back, it did no difference.

[Razer Phone 2 Accessories] Same Old Dude:
Hello Everyone,

Figured I will start a discussion about cases available for the Razer Phone 2. Please feel free to place your input on the cases that you are rocking or found online for the phone.

Regarding what case I am using at the moment, I went with the Razer Phone 2 Word Case - Black. So far it is the only case that I have found for this phone and from what I have heard it is the best choice (For Now)

As far as the feeling of the case, It will give you the necessary grip for the phone. It feels just like the Soft Rubber Cases for the iPhone, which is not bad at all. There is some Alcantara in the inside of the case for the backing and this should prevent scratches on the back of the phone. :good: The case does feel thin and flexible when you wrap it on the phone, I've had instances when I pull the phone from my pocket and the corner is a bit off ( not a big deal )

Overall protection The sides are protected for the most part. The Top and Bottom parts of the phone are exposed; however, there is a protrusion on the top and bottom that will protect it if you accidentally slide it on a flat surface. There is also a protrusion on the front end that will protect the phone is you decide to place it face down on a Flat surface, this will let you enjoy the RGB! :good: On a side note I also have the tempered glass, that is sold by Razer, installed and with the case I can still place it on a flat surface and there is still a small gap between it and the surface.

That back side adds a centimeter of protrusion to protect the camera when you place it down. Again this is only if you place it on a flat surface, anything that is bumpy and you are playing with fire.

The back part also exposes the Razer logo bit too much, in my opinion, I would like to see it match the logo of the Razer; but, this will probably block the RGB from certain angles.

I will recommend this case highly when you first buy the phone, I was running with the phone Naked for the first week while I waited for the case to be shipped. I got some small scuffs on the sides of the phone by the volume button.

Hope this helps and I am looking forward to your experiences with other cases.

I too went with the Razer word case but in green since black is back ordered. This phone is really slick so I'll be happy when it comes in to give me a better grip.

Hey guys!

I contacted The awesome folks at tudia and they have given us a discount on their merge case. The Code is 20RAZER2.

This was the best third party case for the RP1 imo so go ahead and get your discount!

Also if you could pop a comment and thank Tudia for the discount :)

Finally got my case in after my first order with Amazon got lost. The green word case is definitely a case I won't lose, it fits fine and is pretty minimalistic. seems to for nicely and is comfortable in the hands. It's also very easy to remove if you need to.
[Razer Phone 2 Accessories] Same Old Dude:
Just installed a DBrand skin on my RP2 and it is good so far, the only problem I have is that the logo cut out is pealing off. Not from messing with it, just from taking it out from my pocket every so often. I do have the Black Razer case over it as well.

Just giving you all a heads up when purchasing if. I'm all for it since it will protect the sides and the back from scratches that can occur even of you have a case on it.

Hope this helps!
[Razer Phone 2 Accessories] pfp22972:
Hello all,

I have the Razer brand carbon fiber case. It fits very well and looks really cool. After people see the unique phone and glowing snakes they realize the case is also unique. The whole look is just like no other device out there. The only drawback I see is the case is extremely thin so the camera module is vunerable. On the plus side,it adds very little size to the phone.

I just received the black Razer Word case today. It's noticiably thicker than the carbon fiber case and does a better job of protecting the camera and the device as a whole, but it doesn't seem to fit as tightly and pops off the side of the phone frequently as Same Old Dude mentioned.

Hope this helps.

You can get the Kevlar Case from Razer. Kinda pricey at 50 bucks. Or you can do a skin.

I'm using the light case as i don't want any cut holes on the back (dust issues) , so far I like it, adds abit of grip and feels solid, except for finger print smudges issues haha

then i found a brand call Olixar that sells soft rubber translucent cases and in the product photos there is no hole, but when i receive it the case has Hole! sadness..

why do they put a hole when the case is translucent.. doesn't make sense.

anyways, if you guys know any translucent case without holes (except for the light case by razer) let me know :)

I am actually looking for a holster. But I don't understand how this will work I looked it up it looks like it's two pieces The holster and the actual iPhone 8 case and if I put that case on my phone how is it going to fit? And the camera cutouts in the button cutouts are different so I don't really get it unless I'm looking at the wrong thing. I do have a generic holster that fit my phone perfectly until I put a case on it and wants to I got the case on it it did not fit my phone perfectly anymore it was slightly opened and because of that it fell out of the case in the middle of the street got ran over by multiple cars completely shattered my phone and I had to get a new one and I had to get a new one and I had to get a new Razer phone 2. I don't want to risk it anymore but it's a very big phone uncomfortable in my pocket so I really want to holster but one that I can fit with the case. This would be perfect if it was actually designed for the Razer phone 2 but I just don't get how it's going to work with the iPhone 8 one. If you had a moment to clarify it would be highly appreciated. Thanks for all your help!

I can confirm the Tudia case does not work very well with wireless charging. I can get it to work, but I have to lay the phone on its side. Just ordered the Spigen Liquid Air Armor and will see how that fares.

[Edit] Got the Spigen case and that seems to work a little better. Seems like the RP2 is very finicky about where it wants to be placed for wireless charging to work.
[Razer Phone 2 Accessories] Mr_Mooncatt:
It's listed now on their site and Amazon, but pricey.

Personally, I'm using a cheap clear soft case for now. Everything else was sold out (my guess is a lot of sales due to the cheap Thanksgiving phone sale), so I'm waiting to see if I get one for Christmas or I'm buy a better one when they come in stock. I may go with the Spigen case, though.
[Razer Phone 2 Accessories] AZTimT:
The Artech cases were available on Razer's site for black friday so I picked one up at a discount with a satin back RP2 to keep on hand as a backup. For the price it was hard to pass up.

I like the Artech a little better than the Spigen as the phone stays a cooler and has a better grip feel but they are both very good.

My wife did not like the Artech on her Iphone, so lesson learned on trying to get her a phone case as a gift.
