Great Thanks!

Thank you Crescendo again! I finally succeeded to fix it.

Chinese seller broke connector in the left upper corner of PCB when he disassembled phone to flash Global ROM via ETL loader I suppose.

I had to solder another connector and so now it's finally working as it should: Wifi 2.4, bluetooth, GPS signals are strong.

So it was 100% hardware issue, not related to software.

For other guys with same issue I advice to disassemble according to video on YouTube:

"Как разобрать Xiaomi Mi5s Plus (2016070) Разборка и ремонт"

And if you have same issue, bring it to repairman so he will solder you another connector fast and cheap.

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus Questions & Answers] Crescendo Xenomorph:
thanks for the clear photo & pinpoint accuracy.

I can only guess the connectors coz they're plenty on top part of the phone... [emoji38]

Mine's not broken but the GPS (only the GPS) signal is weak... weaker than my wife's, same model same configs.

it all happened after I opened the phone for cleaning..., maybe the pin isn't making good contact with the antenna, I'll reopen it tom & try to bend it forward carefully...

again thanks for the clear explanation & photo...

glad it's all ok for you...
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus Questions & Answers] kaboom83:
[MENTION=9561798]dogrishin[/MENTION] is it possible to repost the photos of the connector that you have fixed, they're gone from tinypic (perhaps upload to imgur or somewhere)

[MENTION=1561430]Crescendo Xenomorph[/MENTION] have you figured out which connector specifically is the GPS antenna?

I have the same problem after I had to disconnect and re-connect the battery. I haven't broken any pins or replaced anything in the phone but after putting it back together the GPS signal is insanely weak. Takes forever for a position fix and keeps losing it after. Also Wi-Fi is dead one wall away from the router. I've carefully bent all the pins a bit towards the back-case today and had no great improvement.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus Questions & Answers] Crescendo Xenomorph:
I think it's the second one from the top right, coz I broke mine & the wifi is gone...

Had to get it replaced to makewifi work again, but my take is usually just fix all connectors inside since I can't be sure....

[Android Head-Units] PdorITA:
Hi all i bought and installed this unit:

Model: T3 K2001M

Board: exdroid

Hardware: sun8iw11p1

Product: K2001M_MSG_S212101

CPU ARM Cortex A7

Display: 600x1024

Android Version: 6.0.1 (even if it display 7.1.1 in settings)

Build ID: K2001M_msg_s212101.20180919.14412246

Kernel Version: 3.10.65

(all the details are also in the attached pictures readed with AIDA64)

My problem is that the software doesn't allow me to chenge the default music player and radio app (the installed one is without RDS Name station). If i select another music player when i open the Navi software or the settings the music stops. I wish to install on it a better firmware also to able the steering controls because this unit as the canbus but i can't activate it.

Can someone please help me to update the software?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] Birddog97:
I just bought one of these same units to put in an old pickup truck I'm playing around with. I was able to get the steering wheel controls to work with the factory controls by tapping into the correct wires in the vehicle wiring harness. Then playing around with the Car Connect app to program the steering wheel buttons to the unit. I just googled the wiring diagram and pin placement for my vehicle. The lack of RDS and the music stopping when opening another app is my next challenge. Hopefully someone here can chime in.

[Android Head-Units] chemixzgz:
First of all, I am glad to hear someone bought this radio (and is figuring out how the hell it works) because me too.

If you want to keep spotify or others on background running, youtube vanced or some other apps you must go to the menu showed by attached thumbnail from ceyrekoto, then hit on tab general settings and scroll down the left sidebar until the end. Tap over "White List". Then use add and delete to open a list with radio buttons in order to select which apps you want to run on background.

Any other option like battery settings (three dot button, and background apps) didn't work for me. Also I tried before to change in android settings -> memory and keep Spotify as "not opttimized, that also won't make any difference.

Well I write a bonus for you, forgetting messy things with Chinese cheap radios.

The final archievement was using FCC Car Launcher and Spotify (may be you can look for similar settings in other launcher).

It worked for me fine and with the rounded album art showing from spotify even static picture from Youtube.

When installing FCC Car Launcher and choose a skin showing album art widget you should do this:

1 you must attend to do the checks on android options launched by FCC Car Launcher in its starting guide (about enabling notifications and etc.)

2 when selection of album art settings appears, select the three aps you want to use (I selected Spotify, Youtube and Radio). This enables control buttons back, play/pause and next that appear on this widget.

3 Tap Home to launcher (if not select as always to replace the actual launcher by FCC Car Laucher, there is also the option on Android Settings to change laucher)

4 open spotify, go to library and look for Settings

5 search for the option enable notification for third party apps

6 Play some music

7 Home to laucher and you can see a floating notification by FCC Car Laucher telling the Artist - Song playing.

8 If you are lucky the rounded widget will show the album art. You can test it with youtube if you want

The messy thing I suffer now is that Album Art frozen and but I can read correctly in widget the current correct artist - song playing, also control playing with buttons.

I forgot to tell you anything about steering wheel control, the thing I know I needed an intermediate device to connect those buttons to the radio. Look for your car specific device on aliexpress, I have mine for peugeot 206

Hope it helps

Bye

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] BANE:
Hey,

I have my tytn set to check emails every 5 minutes using my homes wifi connection. My problem is every once in a while i'll look to find GPRS has connected... this is really annoying me, as i don't know then if email is being checked using wifi or GPRS which costs. MAINLY though bcause I don't know WHY it is doing it.

In connections, my top selection is CONTRACT INTERNET which holds my gprs connection settngs and the bottom one is my work network. the slightest change in either of these STOPS INBOX from checking over wifi giving me an ';error synchronsing message;'

Can anyone tell me WHY my tytn persists with this?

thank you
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] BANE:
hey, well incase anyone is reading and looking for a short term fix, UNTICKING the remember password box in gprs settings means if it attempts to dial, it CAN'T connect without the password being ntered. not ideal, but it at least stops any nasty surprises when you don't expect them :-)

I had the same issue with WM 5. After upgrading the device to WM 6 this problem was solved for me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mangraviti:
Hi guys. I've been using custom ROMs for a few years now and I always used TWRP.

But lately, my banking app and some other important apps simply won't work because of my custom recovery.

Having that said, can I keep my LineageOS AND flash via Odin JUST the stock recovery to "bypass" the security these apps need? I'm using Magisk and I'm hiding root access from these apps.

What would happen if I flash the stock?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redline:
This sounds like a device specific issue, as I use TWRP and LOS on my V20 with no issues. I'd say the banking apps aren't working because you are rooted which means MagiskHide might not be working properly.

This can also happen if you fail the SafetyNet test in Magisk depending on certain apps.

I'm not aware of a way for you to use a custom ROM with a stock recovery. It may be possible but hasn't been as far as I've seen.

I recommend asking this question in the proper Q/A section for your device (which I assume is a Samsung since you mentioned ODIN) to see if other users of that device can help you. Then, report this thread to have it closed/deleted once you have done so.

Also: Backing up with Titanium Backup isn't enough, in almost any case. Do a FULL backup from TWRP of your device, store it somewhere else like an SD card or PC and then mess around.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mangraviti:
Thanks for that. I wiped the whole thing and installed a stock ROM. Will only root now and see where it goes.

Titanium backup crashes on this phone (yes, it's a Samsung J7 Prime) if I use Magisk anyway.

I trusted my Google syncing and I kinda got a lot of backups back from the cloud. Not perfect, but acceptable.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shehan139:
yea you can use it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minakshisondule:
Following is the procedure :

A Nandroid Backup

The quickest way to revert your phone back to its stock ROM is to restore your Nandroid backup. Assuming you have an up-to-date one available it shouldn’t result in much — or any — data loss.

A Nandroid backup creates a complete snapshot of your phone: the operating system, apps, data, and everything else. Restoring it, therefore, restores the ROM you were using at the time. If you have a backup you took when using the stock ROM, then you’re set.

How to Restore a Nandroid Backup

Boot your phone into your custom recovery. We recommend TWRP.

Select Restore. You’ll see a list of all the available backups.

Pick a backup made using the stock ROM.

Select the partitions you want to restore. Normally this means you should check all the boxes.

Finally, swipe the bar labelled Swipe to Restore. It takes a few minutes to complete, then you can reboot.

Flash a Stock ROM

If restoring a Nandroid backup isn’t a viable option, then the next best bet is to flash a stock ROM. This comes with the added inconvenience that you will probably need to perform a factory reset along the way

There are benefits, too. You might be able to find a version of the ROM that is pre-rooted. Flashing ROMs is also really easy to do.

How to Flash a Stock ROM

Find a stock ROM for your phone. Go to xdaforums.com and locate the forum for your device. Stock ROMs are often found in stickied posts at the top of the development boards.

Download the ROM to your phone.

Backup all your data.

Boot into recovery.

Select Wipe to reset your phone. This is optional (if you don’t want to bother with backing up and restoring), but you may encounter bugs or even get stuck in a bootloop if you don’t do it. Swipe the bar to begin the wipe.

From the recovery home screen, select Install and navigate your way to the stock ROM you downloaded.

Swipe the bar to begin installation. You can reboot your phone when it’s finished.

Flash a Factory Image

The ultimate method for getting your phone back to stock is to flash a factory image. This reverts your phone almost to the state it was in when you first unboxed it. All you need to do afterwards is lock the bootloader, and your device will be completely factory fresh.

How to Flash a Factory Image

The procedure to flash a factory image can differ from one device to another. In the case of a Pixel, the steps are simple:

Download and setup the ADB and Fastboot tools.

Download the factory image from the Android website. Unzip the download on your desktop.

Connect your phone via USB and boot into Fastboot mode.

Launch the command line or terminal app.

At the command prompt run flash-all.bat on Windows, or flash-all.sh on Mac or Linux.

Wait for it to finish, then reboot.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] siwan05:
So, I might have messed up quite a bit here and do not know how to get out of this, I really hope you guys can help out here.

What I have access to:

* TWRP

What I do not have access to:

* OS

* Bootloader

* ADB

In short, I did an advance wipe in TWRP and accidentally included system. This, of course, removes the OS but apparently, it also removes bootloader (when I try to restart into bootloader it just loads recovery). It does not show up in under adb devices when in TWRP or in sideload mode.

I'm out of ideas, can you help me out here?

Thanks!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] siwan05:
All of a sudden ADB from recovery started working without me doing anything. So all good now!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] arifqur:
Hi Guys. I recently unlocked my Chinese Mi8 with Chinese MIUI 10.0.9.0 (or a similar number) and immediately installed TWRP and flashed the MIUI 8.10.25 but it kept fc'ing at the setup window where in region it only showed China and on clicking on that it kept saying something like Find Location has unexpectedly stopped.

So then I tried flashing the Xiaomi EU rom 8.10.12 and it went like a breeze and after setup I tested the cameras and rebooted back to recovery and wiped cache>dalvic>system>data and installed Havoc OS rom zip and gapps etc. Everything went fine and the rom performed well

Then I booted into TWRP and wiped cache>dalvic>system>data and flashed the Pixel Experience GSI image and Magisk and wow no problems. I then flashed a lot of the GSI roms in the XDA treble thread and all booted and worked flawlessly. Great stuff.

I thought I'd let you guys know that GSI roms are working well with our Mi8.

The GSI's that I tried were Benzo, Phhuson's Android 9, Pixel Experience and Pixie Dust

Hope this helps someone
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nono77240:
Hi [MENTION=264977]arifqur[/MENTION],

Which one do you recommend?

Pixel P experience or Pixie Dust
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] najabi:
Very interesting... Do you notice better performance with gsi roms than Xiaomi.EU's one?

Are generic gsis stable and does everything work?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nono77240:
I tried two GSI roms (Pixel P experience and Pixie Dust.

I was not able to install some apps (error 109) when some can be installed.

Error with vendor version on Pixie Dust.

Go back to AOSiP for now
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AtunConSuaj:
How about the notch? The sensors works fine? I installed the havoc is but the nfc didn't work and the gcam had errors
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nono77240:
I stayed not long on GSI.

I can tell that wifi, data connection works.

I didn't tried NFC (I never used it) camera was working fine too.

Regarding the notch, I think it was not recognized but customization was really extended on pixel dust, you could adjust the dpi on status bar so I didn't have issue on this area.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] arifqur:
For me just having the option of flashing a lot more roms than the 4 we have in our forums is great.

Benzo is a good one with a lot of features. Pixel Dust is another which has some basic options over the PE gsi rom.

Almost all the sensors work. NFC I don't use so I don't remember checking it. Gcam works fine. AOD doesn't work.

Other then that everything works.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nono77240:
[MENTION=264977]arifqur[/MENTION] you're right, it is great to test other roms.

Did you manage to install any apps on play store?

I keep having error 109
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] arifqur:
Yeah. No problems. Everything installs as well as updates of old google apps like in Pixel experience roms that have tons of apps that need to be updated.

One thing though, check in your Play Store app in settings and scroll to the bottom, it will probably say that the device is not certified.

Install Magisk_Hide_props module and reboot. Install a terminal app(maybe have it downloaded) and open it.

1. Type su , press enter

2. Type props, press enter

3. Press 1, hit enter, next press f and hit enter

4. Select Google from the menu(I think it is number 3 on the device list)

5. Select any Pixel device(I usually go for XL). Press like for instance 9 and press enter

6. Type y and then again y and the phone would reboot

Let it settle for a while and then check your Play Store settings. The first time it will show the Play store version, check it again after a few minutes and it would say that the device is certified.

Done

Maybe this will solve your app installation problems.

Good luck

I see Benzo is quit good for Mi 8?

Can you advise me with variant to use for Mi 8?

Arm64 or A or A/B ?

I can use this info to try other GSI roms.

I am running android 9 now ( miui .eu 11.8.15 ) ARB?

thanks in advance :p
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] arifqur:
For Mi8 you need arm64 A only
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcel112:
Are you still running Benzo or are you back to miui rom?

Did you came from miui rom based android 9 or?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] arifqur:
I flashed the MIUI EU rom 8.10.12 (pie) coming from MIUI Chinese Stable rom before flashing Havoc and then GSI roms.

I flashed the EU 8.11.15 from yesterday to check out the 960 fps slow motion and night sight features and have stuck with it till now.

This rom is really smooth and everything just works.

Being a flash-a-holic I will probably be on another rom by tomorrow
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcel112:
lol, same here, so now problem with ARB from miui to GSI roms... and back. thats what i was worried about....

easy backup miui, full wipe , system, dalvik, data etc....

then just flash the bezorom 9.img?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] arifqur:
No problems with ARB to date with Mi8. The ARB numbers that I have seen for Mi8 range between nothing to 1. As ARB numbers from 3 onwards are the ones that you can't roll back from.

Yeah full wipe system>data>caches but not internal storage. Then flash the Benzo GSI image as system image in TWRP. Flash Magisk after that as you would need to also flash the Magisk Hide_props module(see above for a guide). As the Benzo rom boots up you will get a lot of playstore errors. Keep swiping them away and without logging into your account , first get the Hide_props going.

Another thing to note is that when you wipe everything and flash a GSI, it will use the Boot or kernel from the last rom that you backed up and wiped from as the boot partition is not wiped.

So I went from EU pie rom to Havoc>illusion then the GSI's. So the GSI roms that I tried were all using the same boot image from last flashed rom , which in my case was illusion rom.

Also all of the three kernels that we have namely Milouk, Mipa, extreme, all work flawlessly with GSI roms

Means there is no ARB present. So no worries

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] -Angel:
can you give me the steps to install gsi,

I have tried with the recovery that you mention, but it doesn't work in all the ways that I tried either,

1.format data

2.wipe(system,data,cache)

3.permissive (sometimes)

4.reboot system

Those are my steps but in other ways I have not succeeded either please,

I hope you give me the steps to install the gsi that you have installed, I will be very gratefu
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gelrav:
It's almost a year ago - so I don't remember exactly what I did.

If you have OrangeFox installed, you have to install the LEOS-GSI to the system partition.

Afterwards wipe again.

If this does not work, please ask in the telegram group "LeOS - NO GAPPS WILL WORK". Harvey is very helpful!
