Need Files or a GOOD guide. bv9500 NOT PRO.

If someone could upload the exact files that they used, and the exact same steps, that would be great. Please mention what stock version you have and a link to the image if possible as well. I've followed numerous different guides, with multiple different rom versions, multiple different recovery imgs, used sp flash tool and adb/fastboot multiple times, tried making sure everything was unlocked before each try, have all the necessary drivers, and the closest I get to a functional twrp recovery is a green line that appears at the top of the boot screen before it reboots. Ive tried going to the source, the russian site, but all of the links are 404ed. if not for me, then it would be great to just have this all in one place. Thank you please future hero.

Please include exact program versions (ex SP Flash) as well if not zips of them. I am sorry to be asking so much in one post however I truly didn't know what else to do. And I am typically very good with my google fu xD

I currently have build number BV_BV9500_V1.0_20181026. That seems to matter I believe.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cj chitwood:
I second the notion.

I have the pro model. I have considered rooting it, but honestly, the phone works well enough as-is without root (for me). However, I'd LOVE to be able to play with different ROMs on this device **AS LONG AS I CAN MAINTAIN THE TWO-WAY UHF TRANSCEIVER FUNCTIONALITY** (i.e. not some "needs-a-network-of-some-kind" "walkie talkie app" like Zello but the real UHF two-way), and I'd LOVE the ability to play with the files associated with the radio to really explore the hardware's capabilities.

Unfortunately, this phone seems more popular in [North]eastern Asia than anywhere else so I don't think we're likely to get much on this forum regarding it unless and until BV become a popular name in the western hemisphere.

Hey guys I've just discovered that the MacBook Pro USB C charger charges Mate 20 X insanely fast. The Ampere readings are off the charts and charging speed has almost doubled.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Accessories] Cccmachins:
How much is the charger?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Accessories] amsyed84:
the one I'm using is an original Mac book pro one which is around $70 but you can find the generic ones on Amazon for $38 I'm going to buy an extra one for my office. It is an 87 watt charger but it charges the phone a lot faster than the original Huawei one.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Accessories] fp1707:
MateBook X Pro Charger seems to result in something like 16W charging(just my estimate)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Accessories] stevenkelby:
What's the max mA it charges at?

The stock 20x charger charges at over 4000mA when I plug it in with 50% battery.

Does it do better than that?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Accessories] joebongo:
I heard these super fast chargers damaged batteries.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Accessories] Limeybastard:
They won't necessarily damage the battery but will reduce it's lifespan. I generally use a Samsung charger, Qualcomm quick charge 2.0 , I also use do my best to use the 40 to 80% rule when charging.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Accessories] filip_pine:
I always use 20% - 80% at least this is what i read on the internet... although i am not a guru when it comes to electronics... Cheers

Disclaimer :

YOU are choosing to make these modifications

and YOU are the only one responsible for any damages done to your device

==== Notes/Prerequisets/Links ====

* you should have already unlocked your bootloader (if not then start the process as soon as possible because it's going to take a while).

* backup your stuff, make sure you have sufficient charge just in case anything went wrong.

* download the unoffical TWRP port from Here (get the latest version)

* get the latest magisk from Here

* install device usb drivers

* set up fastboot properly Method A, Method B (using chocolaty)

- - - - - - - - - - - -

instructions :

1- shutdown your device completely.

2- enter fastboot mode by pressing and holding the Vol Down + Power Button button until you see xiaomi's mi bunny with a blue "fastboot" text underneath it.

3- connect your device to your pc via usb cable.

4- on your pc check if you have fastboot configured properly and your device recognized by typing:

fastboot devices

if it's detected then you're good to proceed to the next step.

5- flash the twrp recovery image by using the usual fastboot commands.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

in our case it should look something like:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-TWRP-3.3.0-0517-XIAOMI8LITE-CN-wzsx150.img

6- unplug usb cable and hold the Vol up + Power Button (don't let go of the buttons untill the devices vibrates) and let it boot to the twrp recovery you just installed.

7- if you rebooted successfully, you should be at TWRP splash screen, if greeted with a slider slide it and continue.

8- in the main menu of TWRP, go to "Install" choose the magisk zip file you downloaded and flash it, when done reboot the device.

9- congratulations friend, you're now rooted and have TWRP as your recovery :D Happy Flashing :highfive:

Is it possible to just accesss the TWRP to edit build.prop enabling camera2 Api?

If I remember is something about:

fastboot boot twrp.img

and then:

setprop persist.camera.HAL3.enabled 1

Without the need of root the device.

Thanks for the guide!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] malek_anas_97:
Sorry for the late reply

No problem

I'm not really sure if you could do it with TWRP's built in file manager without root

You could try

I've seen people do it with adb but haven't had the chance to try it yet

take a look here : https://www.google.iq/amp/s/amp.red...gswg/camera2_api_without_root/#ampf=undefined

And here (this has some very useful info)

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] antonioli84:
Thank you for the reply. I've done it in Mi A1 but I don't know if it's the same procedure because of the MIUI. One of the links says that we have to change something in kernel to do it.

It would be good expert people try it to see what method works. It's sad that the Mi 8 Lite doesn't have a proper forum until now.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] malek_anas_97:
i enabled it in stock miui by adding "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1" to my build prop and then rebooting

Hi Malek,

When you first boot to TWRP, were you asked for the decryption password? If yes, did you just format data to skip this? I was asked for the password and my screen PIN did not work. Just wondering if there is no other choice that to format data.

to this point i don't really understand how encryption works on this device

it's on by default i guess

so what i finally did the other day to be kinda sure of what's happening

i flashed stock rom in Mi Flash with the clean all option checked

i set up the phone for the first time without setting any fingerprint or security or anything

after that i flashed twrp

from twrp i flashed dm verity and encryption disable

get it from here https://xdaforums.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389

(make aure to read the first post)

then formatted data

after that the booted up and i set it up normally

and then booted to twrp again to flash latest magisk

now when i check if my device is encrypted using this adb command "adb shell getprop ro.crypto.state"

i get "unencrypted"

so i guess it works? i don't know lol
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] chan200606:
It looks like your phone was not encrypted (or was encrypted with MIUI's default password) when you flashed TWRP, as you had clean flashed stock then set up without setting security. That you could start TWRP to flash "dm versity and encryption disable", without being asked to input a password first, shows that TWRP was able to handle the default encryption (or no encryption) of the clean MIUI install.

In my case I already have a screen PIN set up on my phone before trying to install TWRP, and this version of TWRP can't handle it. Another difference is that I have not actually flashed TWRP onto the phone but have merely booted to TWRP via fastboot. I wouldn't have thought that this would affect TWRP's ability to decrypt the DATA partition though.

In hindsight I should have just done the minimum setup after the phone was wiped by the bootloader unlocking process before installing TWRP. I guess that unless there is another version of TWRP out that can handle the screen PIN encryption, my only option is to wipe clean the phone so that I can repeat what you did. However, now that I have reinstalled everything on the phone, I am a bit reluctant to do this just to get root. I think I will wait until there is an AOSP ROM available and do the wipe/format at the time of switching. Hopefully I don't have to wait too long!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] chan200606:
An update: I've now got over this encryption thing. It is indeed the screen PIN that was causing me problems. While I had tried removing the PIN and all fingerprints last time, I had powered down the phone immediately after removing the PIN and booted into fastboot mode. Today I thought I better try it one more time: after removing the PIN, reboot the phone to system first before powering it down and restarting in fastboot mode. This cycles the phone system at least once without the PIN so hopefully any traces of the PIN would really be wiped. And indeed it works - the booted TWRP (i.e. not flashed to phone) has no problems reading my phone and I could install Magisk.

So I now have stock recovery + Magisk on my Mi8 Lite, which is the minimum I wished to do to it. Maybe at a later date I would flash TWRP onto the phone as well.

i cant unlock my mi 8 lite, say user portrait scores too low or black, i activate all need, oem, usb, sync device. no work, any help?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] vonclutch:
Everything is ok for global rom.

For the language twrp asked directly at first launch for it and you don't need anymore magisk, you can install it directly from twrp. ( advance/install root ) it'll install the version 17.1 and you can update it from the app on the phone.

No problem for reboot into twrp ( volume up + power) even with fingerprint.

i searched online and it seems like you're not the only one having this
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] malek_anas_97:
yeah i know there's no problem in turning the phone off then rebooting manually with the buttons

but i was talking about using "fastboot reboot recovery" command to reboot to recovery from fastboot directly

anyways glad everything worked for you friend : )
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Cobthaich:
Hi. I was hoping someone may have an answer to this. I have had a P20 Pro since July and for the past little while I have noticed that the vibration motor, haptic feedback for typing, will have normal strength and then once or twice a day it will lose power and feel weaker than it does when it is functioning normally. Has anyone else noticed this when typing throughout the day? Do the vibrations become weaker sometimes when typing on the P20 Pro? Thanks.

From my experience. Haptic feedback for typing and touching screen is one of the first things people turn off after getting new phone. Not sure if you will get many answers. Regards

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CodeFox:
You need to enable the extended brightness range in phh settings too under Samsung. Will let your screen go brighter :)

Thanks is there a way to pass ctsProfile in magisk? It remains falls.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Imprezzion:
Since my Note 9 is still on it's way and I'm on a S9 now I have a simple question.

In 8.1 AOSP ROM's IMS services and the Iris scanner don't work. Do they work on this ROM? And if Iris scanner doesn't work, can we still use biometric unlocking? I hate fingerprint scanner so on the rear as I use wallet cases and can't easily reach it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Nasty_z:
I believe smart lock face unlock does not work. I added my face to it but I'm unable to 'improve face matching'. It simply says cannot start finding your face. And nothing happens when I try to unlock my phone using face unlock either.

Other than that, the typing feels a bit slower than stock Samsung roms. Not sure if it's the touch response or what. I disabled the haptic feedback for the keyboard but it still seems a bit slower. Could be just me though..

Apart from these issues, rom is definitely a daily driver so hats off to the entire team :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CodeFox:
Download hideprops in Magisk downloads. Reboot to initialise it. then download a terminal emulator from the playstore and type the command "props" without the quotes.

Grant SU to the terminal

then pick edit fingerprint. Select Samsung, and choose the s9+ fingerprint (number 22 I think). Reboot and then CTS will pass.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CodeFox:
Iris Scanner will never work in an AOSP Rom. The libs are proprietary to Samsung experience roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CodeFox:
Yeah it's a little quirk with GSI's unfortunatley. The vibration motor causes somewhat of a delay when typing. Turning off haptic feedback completely seems to make it normal for me. I've gotten used to typing without haptic feedback now haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Nasty_z:
I noticed that you mentioned in the OP that you use Galaxy wear?

A bit OT but is there a way to use the Gear with different roms without having the Gear being reset every time? It just seems to get reset every time I pair with it on a new rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CodeFox:
I wish there was, I'm so sick of having to reset it I literally use my watch just as a watch most of the time because I'm flashing new builds so often. It's a pain in the neck and I don't know why Samsung did it this way, it's frustrating.
