Can I unlock with a old Mi Account without waiting 2 weeks?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] hkwildboy:
Relax, take your time and google everything you need, digest it first before you rush into doing something that you're not ready for.

By the time you become well informed yourself in two weeks time, then your phone will be ready to unlock.

Perfect timing.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ggkameleon:
Hi ! Yes I do it :) Yesterday Thank you.

Just download miunlock tool. And Twrp 3.2.3.120 .

But When I flash it on fastboot and reboot to Twrp what I do ? Factory reset and format data ?

And after ? Flash global stable Pie Rom and remove encryption dm verity and magisk directly or do reboot to recovery before ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ggkameleon:
Hi ! I want to root the global Rom I use. Global V12.1.2.0. I have send for unlock it. Just do unlock now.

For root it do flash Twrp but After don't know ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ggkameleon:
Ok thank you very much.

Just flash magisk on beta rom no need to wipe or format. And no flash remove encryption too.

Just flash Twrp on fastboot and flash again Twrp on Twrp and flash magisk and reboot.

Great thanks. Have a good day.

Ps : I think flash dev global but factory reset before flash twrp and magisk because I had mistake after change local and use theme.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ggkameleon:
Ok thank you I had install the beta with updater App but I do to configure it on boot and install App (use mi restore) for reply to you.

I'm on beta now just flash twrp now.

I don't factory reset it just flash magisk 18 on Twrp ?

But just a presision when reboot on Twrp just reflash Twrp img (install/image/recovery) because don't understand on recovery partition ? It's because treble my last phone are an oneplus 3 and no have treble partition and more easy to flash.

And every weeks they had an update of Dev Global Rom how do update it ? Flash the full Rom on Twrp and magisk to or can update it with updater App ?

Thanks have a good day.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ggkameleon:
Ok ! Thanks.

But I think flash Xiaomi.eu rom based on china rom. The stable Rom.eu stable.

But nobody response me on forum .eu.

I'm on global stable if I flash the Xiaomi.eu Rom it's chinese Rom and different it's right ? I do Factory reset for flash it ?

What the difference of the Twrp on dev section and twrp dipper on Xiaomi.eu ? I do use the Twrp dipper for flash this custom and do flash again Twrp on Twrp too.

I have change because the global rom for me is less good than chinese ! I had a mistake with notifications push youtube never had notifs ? But receive on YouTube but never on mi 8. I had remove all battery energized on system ! Check all notifications system and on App but never receive notifications.

Thanks have a good day
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ggkameleon:
Ok thank you but MIRooms are not multi french langage and in French lot of people use Xiaomi.eu and for help is more good for me.

Ok do format data but if format data I loose encryption and don't do to flash the zip for remove it.

It's really a guys said me is better to buy a chinese version of mi 8 it's true... I have this global but no more people use it ! many people use chinese version of mi 8.

The chinese version of mi 8 are not encypted ? Thank you :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ggkameleon:
Ok thank you I make the good choice.

But why if global version are better all guys use custom rom based on china version ?

I don't know if they had but I would like a custom rom based on global rom but with more option than can make 5x5 on mi launcher because with theme it crash and don't stay every day or can use different song fir App like Twitter on my oneplus use the ios Twitter song and know if is a tweat and for Google message can't have the message song work only for mi message etc etc..

For flash Xiaomi.eu you said format data but you know on Twrp chose wipe and format and data and type yes ? Or wipe data partition ? Because if format it loose encryption and when boot to rom no have mistake with DM verity ? Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Pescao:
Just install the room and start it to finish the installation.

Then go to fastboot and install twrp with the commands that Rommco05 already said.

And then install magisk with twrp, its easyer with an otg pendrive to avoid posible data encription.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ggkameleon:
Hi ! Thanks for support. It's different than oneplus.

I'm on Dev Rom Global and stay for unlock the BL.

When I can unlock it I reinstall The Dev Global Rom or new update (every weeks) but wipe data on stock recovery (clean install) just start it as a new phone.

"I have a usb type-c otg :)" and then make that flash Twrp....& Magisk..

Thank you. Have a good day.

No, you can't. I tried with my old mi 5s but it just works for 1 device.
[Coolpad Cool1 Questions & Answers] eiPeiDweP:
So I recently bought this device (rocking it, totally worth it c103) and I really wanted to update it to at least nougat to get the new vulkan compatible drivers (or mainly opengl es 3.2).

Questions are;

1. Do I need root before flashing anything at all? If yes, can someone guide me to the right way?

2. I am running EUI 5.8.018s or something. Would the version matter?

3. I've done some readings and correct me if I'm wrong, I need to flash twrp first > flash root > and flash rom, right?

Thanks in advance.

Hi.

is it posible migrating from 2019v of lineage to latest xiaomi.eu roms trigger ARB ?

I want check my phone status in miui then roll back to lineage again(i love it).

I want to know is it possible to brick my phone?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus Questions & Answers] Crescendo Xenomorph:
what's ARP?

there's an ARB (Anti Roll Back), but not in our ol'phone...

and Lineage/AOSP based will not trigger those....
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus Questions & Answers] artinessfox:
So flashing xiaomi.eu rom or miui global beta will not trigger the arb. Is that right?

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tuffluck:
i dropped/cracked my pixel 2 xl screen this weekend, ordered the 6t yesterday online (sunday), but did so prematurely as i found a local place that will replace my screen for a good price. i called today and oneplus already shipped my phone, and they told me when it arrives to me i can just ship it back to them. then they said they will inspect it to determine how much i will be refunded. i said um...i'm not even going to open the shipping box, i'm going to ship it right back. they said it's a highly likely chance it will be refunded in full, but we won't know until we get the item.

that uncertainty seems absurd to me. has anyone ever returned a phone in a situation like this or have any ideas what i can do to ensure a full refund? i have never dealt with oneplus before so not too sure what to expect in this scenario. thanks.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] borijess:
OnePlus CS sux. They will make u pay for shipping. Best bet is to reject the FedEx package.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Swimguy14:
Do you live in the u.s.? That's where I am and I returned a phone after having used it for 12 days and I got a full refund minus the fact that I had to pay for the return shipping which was about $20. especially if you aren't even opening the package there is no reason why they won't give you a full refund I'm guessing the person you talked to just didn't know what they were talking about. but again keep in mind you will have to pay return shipping and I doubt you will be compensated for it

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

the only other thing I could possibly suggest would be to not receive the package but I don't know how that would work or if it would be a good idea

---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

third edit just to add more information, I had the money back in my account about five business days after they received my returned phone at the Acer return center warehouse

Just deny the package.. tell fedex guy to return it to sender.. you will get full refund and you don't have to pay return shipping also..

Hi,

I'll be getting a Canadian S9 soon but i have no need for the device and i'll be sending it to my sister in the states (she is on AT&T). I want to know if i'm OK just flashing the latest version of the US firmware to the Canadian device? and what is the CSC of the unlocked version of AT&T in the states? Will she be able to update as usual after that and will Samsung pay work?

Thank you very much in advance.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] garyHal:
I am currently running a Pixel 3 XL. So far, I have been very underwhelmed by this phone. Even with the most recent updates, I still get the occasional lag. Several times, I would restart my phone only to have it get stuck on a black screen. Most importantly, my data connection is really bad. My 4g would occasionally turn off and on. Today, all of my data failed to work. I had to call ATT to see if there was anything wrong with their towers.

So are these software issues or hardware issues? Is Samsung Galaxy known to have better radios and internal hardware? I don't want to switch over to a different brand only to find out it was a problem with PIE, which Galaxy will soon have.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] finsmaniac02:
Honestly, that sounds like you have a bad phone and need a replacement.

I have a Pixel 3 XL, and although I am not as in love with it as I want to be, I do not have those problems.

To wrap my feelings up about the phone in general... if you want the best phone RIGHT NOW, then I would return and get a Galaxy Note 9 (or figure out a way to get Huawai's latest).

I came from the Note 9, and mostly regret that decision; Except for the camera - if camera is important to you then stay pixel. Unless you are a big camera nut then I am sure you can get just as good with a note 9 or Huawai - but if you want just to pull out the phone and take a nice shot without having to worry about anything, pixel is the way to go.

But I'm sure my excitement will return when android Q is coming around, and pixel is first to get. ..
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Geekser:
I have been a samsung user forever - in fact I have the Galaxy note 9 which is an awesome phone. I also bought the pixle and I have to be honest, since getting the pixel xl 3, it has been my daily drive and i hardly even miss my Samsung Note 9. (hardly - sometimes I use it for the camera - and a few other things but overall - the Pixel has been a better, more reliable phone

I am using the BOOTLEGGER ROM which is awesome by the way - and the Proton Kernel - (V10 - waiting for V11 to be released) FOr what it's worth, Benchmark Scores are very strong - almost 299,000 on my last test (that was using Perfance settings in the Kernel Manager) but when I use the Proton Kernel normal settings - my scores run around 292,000 - very respectable.

No Lag at all - lightning fast - the Pixel 3 XL is in my opinion, amazing. Simply amazing.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Eudeferrer:
Well, let's see. Android Pie was released back in August 6 of 2018. Almost 1/2 a year later, almost all Galaxy 9/9+ and Note 9 owners are still waiting to received it. They have only received Beta versions good for testing it out as part of Beta program. I think I read Germany started receiving a few days ago the actual update. If your don't care about receiving timely new features and updates and new yearly OS updates (which sometimes come a year plus later for older Samsung models), then go with the Samsung. They have great hardware but horrible record of updates. They also have a closed and locked bootloader (unless you get the international version which won't be 100% compatible with all features in your carrier). Don't expect root ever on a carrier version. It's very unlikely to happen. On the other hand, you could go for a Pixel 3XL phone. The amazing software will more than make up for the hardware shortcomings. You'll get monthly security updates directly from Google and be among the first to ever get the new OS upgrades. I had always been a Samsung Note and Galaxy user until last year's locked down of the Note 8 bootloader completely turned meet off. At over $1000 per phone, I expect to be updated quickly not a year later. I tried the Pixel 3Xl and will NEVER consider another Samsung phones regardless of hardware. I have come to learn that software can more than make up for it. I can freely unlock my bootloader as I see fit, root my phone at will and get customs ROMs from the XDA community. Rooting an international Samsung phone will void warrantee and also forever void Samsung pay. No need to worry about this on the Pixel 3Xl. I guess my point is, it all depends on your priorities XYZ wants and needs. The Pixel 3Xl in my experience is far superior to every other Samsung phone I have owned by farrrrrrrr.

BTW in my opinion, Pixel phones also hold their value much better than Samsung phones. So, if resale value is important to you, go with the Pixel 3Xl. Just look at last year's models in Craigslist or any other page. You'll see what I'm talking about.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
Call and get a replacement. You clearly have a bad phone. I haven't heard of anyone else having these issues, and mine works perfectly. Never any lag at all. Also, the camera is amazing. Three tech sites I believe (think Gizmodo and such) plus dxomark rated it the best of 2018. Plus all of the new or pixel only features plus day one updates all make this phone even more awesome.

I had a Samsung S7 Edge, and, I loved it at first, but, never again will I own a Samsung phone. Right around the time the S8 was being release, I got an update and the phone was waaay slower. A couple more updates and the phone was nearly useless. Got a new replacement, same thing. They've been reported to do that. Soooo, unless you don't care about anything I mentioned above, and plan on getting a new Samsung every year, then get one. Otherwise, stick with a pixel.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] garyHal:
I probably do have a bad phone since everyone else has a better experience.

I have been using Nexus / Pixel for the last 4 years and enjoyed it. This year's model was an exception.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] flavioa:
I know it's all about preference and what you like but you're wrong on so many points and are trying really hard to justify your $900 purchase.

I'll start with the easiest one and that's resale value. No Google does not hold their value better nor will you find a buyer faster. Google phones are only popular on YouTube and xda. In the real world no one wants to buy a pixel and def not a used one anywhere near regular price. Even new on Verizon the pixels are constantly $200-$400 off.

As for the locked bootloader that's invalid again cause the same thing goes with the pixel. You have to buy the unlocked variant to do that otherwise their carries version can't be unlocked.

Also newest Android version doesn't always mean new features. Stock Android is just starting to implement features that Samsung has had for awhile. Unless seeing a 9.0 instead of a 8.1 on your "about phone" is that important there is nothing the pixel really offers you that Samsung a don't.

The monthly security patches are again useless considering Samsung's Knox system is arguably the most secure thing on Android regardless of your Android version.

Lastly the software on the pixel 3 is anything but amazing. Apps refreshing Everytime you have 4+ open. Constant hiccup here and there. The restrictions that Google have put on the phone in terms of only fast charging on their wireless charger and etc is against what Android is.

The pixel is a great camera and ok smartphone.

The note is an amazing phone in every other category.

I own both phones and Samsung being on a later software makes absolutely no difference whatsoever. I feel like I'm not missing out on anything .

On the pixel I'm missing out on my SD card. My headphones jack. My ability to wirelessly fast charge everywhere and the confidence that my battery will last the whole day.

I know this is a pixel forum but let's be real and take off our Google glasses. The note 9 is the best phone out right now period. The 3 xl is a great phone with many disapointments
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 13druber:
My Galaxy S8 blows this phone away, battery life, screen size, sound. I haven't noticed anything new with Pie. I'm no camera buff my S8 took great pictures. I'm trying to like this phone but it is hard to do.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Eudeferrer:
From my personal experience, my Galaxy S8 constantly freezes and has worse battery life than my Pixel 3Xl. I understand user results and experiences are different for everyone. While some people claim to have had issues with apps closing on the background on Pixel 3 Xl, I never had this issue. Read up on Android Pie features. There are plenty of new worthwhile feature upgrades. Probably the most important one is adaptive battery. I think it makes a huge difference in the battery life of any phone. My Pixel 3Xl battery lasts all day. On my Galaxy 8 phone, midday I was more than halfway through the battery, same apps, and same time used. I used to constantly have to plug in my phone for juice. I rarely have to plug it in now except at night or extreme heavy use. As far as the screen size/quality, IMO, they are very similar but the sound on my stereo front speakers on the Pixel 3Xl is far superior to my S8's.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 13druber:
I'm talking audio thru BT. Headphones and my BT speaker. It is all treble. My battery life is horrible on this and no expanded memory. I'm just trying to get used to this phone, I had a Nexus 5 I loved it. I just need time to adjust. I don't have any performance issues, seems pretty fast. I'll check out the Pie features, thanks.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] arsenal74:
I own both, honestly find the note to be the better all round phone and always feel limited by the max128gb storage, yes it is enough but does not leave much wiggle room. Older OS or not the Note feels more polished.

The software experience is better on the 3xl but there are bugs still (gboard 1 handed mode [emoji2357]) and some missing features (ability to schedule AOD) The camera though is just better especially in low light.

If the pixel had a 256gb option I'd probably not have the note though. Having said that if the OP6t or mate 20 had a (proper) always on display I'd likely have one of them instead!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Eudeferrer:
Perhaps you should install Viper if you are rooted in your Pixel. It's very easy to use and easily corrects any issues with sounds quality you may have. You can truly customize the sound to your personal preference. You could also have a defective phone because my $25 Bluetooth wireless headphones from Amazon sound amazing on my Pixel. As far as expanded memory, I bought a 256 gb USB-c type drive from Amazon for $52 that I connect directly to my Pixel and I save all my backups and important files there. It's as easy as connecting it to your phone on the USB port and it will show up internally as a drive. I save Twrp backups, Titanium backups, pics, downloaded files and a ton of things. No need to miss your expanded memory card slot.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shaftamle:
Not sure how your getting bad battery life. I'm getting over 8 hours of screen on time with about 2 days worth of life. As far as being bogged down, again, no issues here. Pixel doesn't need 8gb of ram because it doesn't have 2 app stores, 2 text apps, 2 note apps, 2 browsers, 2 file manegers......see where I'm going?

Samsung has MASSIVE amounts of bloat. Root? Maybe, but with knox, Samsung's are for people who don't know how to take advantage of the unlocked bootloader. The UI is atrocious as well. I kind of like how you can download mods and filters for the camera, but The pixel is still better.

As great as expandable memory is, the read write speed are dirt slow compared to writing to the system. The Pixel having super speed USB type c, makes otg a great option for extra storage.

Me personally, being a Verizon chump, the Nexus 6p was my first Google phone. Which made my S4 the VERY LAST non Google phone with the exception of maybe a One+ device.

My bootloader is locked. I have always used viper, too bad it doesn't come on this phone
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Eudeferrer:
I'm assuming then, you are on the Verizon version because that's the only one you can't unlock bootloader. If you are not on Verizon version, it's easy to unlock. There are many tutorials on how to do it and It takes only a few minutes. I was tempted to get the Verizon version because they had great deals on it but I moved away from Samsung because of that same reason. I wanted to root my phone . A locked bootloader on this phone means I might ss well have bought a Samsung phone again. I did not want to be in the same boat with this phone. Hey, at least you can still get timely updates and support for 3 years, something Samsung will never do.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] garyHal:
There is a big thread in the s9 forum about "debloating" the phone. It requires you to manually disable the unwanted apps though.
