Done. Download was successful. Phone vibrates only when try to turn on. I repeat the process, but I'm sure I did it exactly as described in your link. Now I shorten the folder.

I see, your QFIL version is indeed newer.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] jack_21:
Ok that is the power on vibration that is absolutely normal!

Are you sure that display didn't got broken? This starts to be strange
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] XtraWater:
Ok, I opened QPST configuration. I see the same version as in your screenshot. To open the configuration I got tons of error messages. It wanted to open a network resource which is not available. Cancel, cancel, cancel and it started. To start Qfil I have to end the QPST server.

Ok, and then boooom. Sahara issue again.

The System cannot find the file specified.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] XtraWater:
May be that works ony when this weird nougat os is installed.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] jack_21:
Did you uninstalled previous versions and driver before installing the new version?

But first... did you put your phone in EDL Mode from Fastboot? fastboot oem edl
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] XtraWater:
No, I didn't uninstall the other version.

I entered EDL mode the test point method.

I try by fastboot.

Must I uninstall the Qualcomm drivers in Windows device manager?

Ahhhhhh. to enter fastoot I have to flash the Nougat version. Otherwise all the phone is doing is vibration.

But it flashed succesfully with the older QFIL version. So, I doubt it will any difference....
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] XtraWater:
After flashed again Nougat I entered fastboot and switched to EDL with: fastboot oem edl

Now QFIL is flashing the official 8.1.

It would be interesting to flash the official Pie that way. But that's not possible. Right?

Edit: Qfil is done. Download Succeed. But.....the phone only vibrates :(
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] jack_21:
Well you can try flash that Pie package that you downloaded yesterday, but you need fastboot access.

What is your partition size after the Qfil? Can you read it now?

Do you have an old EFS backup?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] XtraWater:
No, when it is in the vibration mode, nothing works.

I made EFS backups with TWRP. But this is useless now I guess. I would like to recover a TWRP backup. But no chance without screen.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] XtraWater:
I have efs1.emmc.win, efs2.emmc.win and efs1.emmc.win.sha2. Created by TWRP.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] XtraWater:
Is this with fastboot possible?

d if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] jack_21:
Yes it's possible:

Download this https://dl.twrp.me/tissot/twrp-3.2.3-1-tissot.img

Rename the file to twrp.img and put it in the same fastboot / adb folder

Then:

fastboot boot twrp.img

Wait 45 secs

And you will have ADB access to the phone, so you can restore using dd

Note that adb on TWRP is a little bit buggy, it shows some strange characters like [#ed!@ when you try to use the "BACK" key of your keyboard
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] XtraWater:
It accepted the dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27

but it didn't help.

How could I recover a TWRP backup from the console?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] jack_21:
I don't think :(
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] XtraWater:
Regarding to that:

restore PARTITION-TO-RESTORE BACKUP-NAME :

restore PARTITION-TO-RESTORE from existant BACKUP-NAME:

PARTITION-TO-RESTORE, multiples selection allowed:

S: system,

D: data,

C: cache,

R: recovery,

B: boot,

A: and-sec,

E: sd-ext,

M: skip md5 check.

BACKUP-NAME: could be full path or name of twrp backup in current twrp backup folder.

Backup can't be encrypted.

I just tried

restore SDRBAM aaa

(aaa is the name of the backup folder within the folder with the serial)

Answer: restore: not found.

I wonder if the command 'restore' is unknown or the backup.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] XtraWater:
twrp restore aaa

---started to try to restore. But,

Cannot restore System -- mounted read only.

I tried:

mount -o rw,remount /system

Answer: mount -o rw,remount /system
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] jack_21:
Sorry. Don't know how to help in this case :(
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] XtraWater:
Thank you very much for your help

You were very patient.

I sent the phone to the dealer. I'll report the outcome.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] luxerinolt:
So xiaomi's support basically told me to f*ck off with this case...

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] samuro625:
Seriously did you send them the link to the post you posted on XDA where you recognize that you opened your cell phone and used tools that disable the guarantee? And you still believed that you had a chance that Xiaomi would respond favorably ???

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] luxerinolt:
It's a software issue, not a hardware one, so they should help. My phone is out of warranty anyway.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Angrydr0id:
Hello, I have the same issue.

Only black screen.

I'm on Nougat with the Fastboot access.

Maybe we have to wait until Xiaomi release the Pie Official Fastboot Image and flash it from "Test point method"

Because it's software issue.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] XtraWater:
Since there are more and more users with the same issue, I guess it is indeed software related and not a hardware issue. As I said, I sent my phone to the dealer. If they fix the phone or replace it, I wonder which software version it will have. All I want is xposed edge pro. Unfortunately it doesn't run on pie.

Soon I should know if they fix my phone. Actually I hope it will be installed oreo 8.1.

Maybe this helps. If you try it, please let us know the outcome ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Angrydr0id:
I'll try. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] XtraWater:
Hello

I just got informed that I'll get the money back. They do not offer the model anymore.

So I could get another MI a1 from another shop.

You mentioned the modem.img

After the mess, I'm a bit afraid now. When I buy the new phone, I guess it will be oreo 8.1 on it. I I'll follow the steps to install Resurrection with twrp and magisk. Then, when I'm done, do you think I'll face the same issue with no sound on dialer / phone app? If so, to install the modem.img you mentioned would fix that for sure?

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] samuro625:
Yes. It's a highly risk of failure again. My advice is keep away from custom modifications.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] XtraWater:
I'm done. Phone was delivered with nougat. Updated security patch by ota. Then let it update again to oreo 8.1 (ota) . Disabled wifi and installed twrp, rr oreo, magisk, gapps, xposed and YouTube vanced.

Everything works perfect. Also sound during call :)

I configured everything like I wanted. With that, the mi a1 is the perfect phone for me.

I didn't update the modem.img separately since. It works flawless.

I still don't know what caused the mess in the first. Place. But I suspect, the official mi flash tool messed it up. On the new phone, I didn't use mi flash at any point. Only twrp.

There aren't any error messages like app x has stopped or anything.

I'm other words, everything is perfect and exactly like I planned to set up the phone.

The phone reboots quite fast. It seems that the overall performance is even better in comparing to the the first mi a1 with same configuration. There was maybe some other issues under the hood.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] mihritalia:
Hello friends. My device is Mi A1. When returning to 8.1, the device stopped. Right now it's just shaking. recovery and fastboot mode does not enter. I tried to load with edl mode, but it didn't. the device does not respond at all. when you just charge it, the led flashes and flickers. mi flash with modem.img gives error. I have using google tranlate.

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] vindieu:
Hi everyone!

I've bought a Mi Pad 4 LTE from Aliexpress and haven't already received it. (Specs says Oreo is installed).

I've read FAQs about Treble and still have questions :

1) From my understanding, I will receive a "A" partition style device, correct ?

2) When I get it, if I connect it to my WIFI Lan and update it to the latest online MIUI, will I be able to choose to upgrade to an "AB" partition style device (or not) ?

(FAQ says "For devices upgrading to Android 9, "system-as-root" is not mandatory"... )

Upgrading it to "AB" seems to be better as it supports seamless OTA updates & "A" is now considered as "old/legacy", isn't it?

3) Is it better to install a compatible ROM from "xda-developers / Project Treble / Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS"

examples: [9.0][GSI][Treble][ARM64/ARM][A/AB][Official]OctopusOS[20/11/2018]

[9.0][GSI][Treble][Enforcing][VoLTE][Official]HavocOS V2.0 [27/10/2018]

** OR **

a ROM from "xda-developers / Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 / Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development"

examples: [ROM][9.x][UNOFFICIAL] CarbonROM | cr-7.0 [clover /MI PAD 4]

[ROM][9.x][UNOFFICIAL] Havoc OS v2.0 | [clover /MI PAD 4]

4) What are the rooting possibilities apart from Magisk? Can I trust Magisk?

My criteria:

Low draining batteries, GPS, BT output, phone, LTE/4G, sms, dark theme, 802.11ac simultaneous dual band 2.4/5GHz wifi, no bloatware or google spyware stuff, unlocked/rooted, open source ROM.

Any recommendation is welcome!

Thanks & Merry XMAS!
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] Tomek0000:
Ad. 1. You are correct.

Ad. 2. The device ia A style or A/B style. You will have to modify vendor, boot and add additional partition for B.

Ad. 3. Do you ask about... What is better ported rom or rom created for device? I suggest to pay attention to the no-gsi aicp mordiford. It is rom created in Japan by mi pad 4 owner for mi pad 4. Ported roms creates devs not owning pad 4.

Ad. 4.? I do not know. Do you know, your tablet has 20+ partitions. If you install custom rom you will have many apk from xiaomi on the not touched partitions. We have to trust the aps will not work and will not spy us. The magisk is 1000% more trustable.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] vindieu:
Thank you for your answers Tomek0000, I really appreciate it.

1) What do you mean by "B"? (In the FAQ, they only talk about "A only" or AB). Is "B only" another type or it's just short for AB?

2) Do you think it's worth changing from A to B/AB?

3) Is there a procedure somewhere that I can follow "to modify vendor, boot and add additional partition for B"?

(since I assume that the MIUI online update from Oreo to Pie won't change my device from A to AB...)

Not really, I guess that this rom is "created for device"? : [ROM][9.x][UNOFFICIAL] CarbonROM | cr-7.0 [clover /MI PAD 4]

I've just read that "Porting" means shifting & modifying another android phones OS (Operating System/ User Interface) to your own phone.

For the moment, I don't see the point in choosing a ported rom.

I'm just looking for the most up to date vanilla pie ROM with maximum hardware compatibility inside a Generic System Image (no apk bloatware)

This rom isn't a "ported rom", is it? [9.0][GSI][Treble][ARM64/ARM][A/AB][Official]OctopusOS[20/11/2018]

I did but it doesn't seem to correspond to what I'm looking for...

Even with this rom? : [AOSP 9.0] [EXPERIMENTAL] [2018-11-09] Phh-Treble

The less apk bloatware, the better. Good to know that we can trust magisk.

Thanks very much!

Take Care
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] Tomek0000:
A/B has sense of 2 partitions for the same. You can fail during flashing A but you will have all time working B.

You have no option to change if you have A only device.

You have rom for device X but you want it for Y. You compile it and run on Y. Many things does not work. You fix it. If you have Y, you do it good if you do not have, your fixes will be blind, only with info abot results from forum.

The other way is if you own Y and want to prepare rom for your own use.

Ported rom brings only /system. Aicp comes with kernel. It will not replace all partitions, no chance. Especial vendor for treble is xiaomi's interes. We will have always some partitions not touched with xiaomi's content.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] vindieu:
Sorry but this time, your explanations are not clear.

Anyone else is welcome to take part in this discussion.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] HijoProdigo:
From my limited understanding, if a device is A only, it cannot be "upgraded" to an A/B device, since the partition scheme is completely different. Since the Mi Pad 4 is an A device, that's what we have and that's it. That's still not the end of the world, since we can take advantage of GSI's.

The other point I think he was trying to make was that it is usually better to use ROM's that were created by someone that actualy owns the device, since they have more motivation to try to fix the smaller things, compared to someone who ports to a device they don't own. GSI's are an example of this, and although they seem to work pretty well, they are still not perfect. The best way it to test and see for your self! Happy flashing!
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 9635294:
No, you can force AB partition scheme by flashing MakeMeSAR.zip. Just do a Google search on MakeMeSAR.zip.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Daniel.meurer:
So, to begin with, yesterday Mi A1 got the Android 9 update. As I always do, I went to uptade it with Magisk (it worked with 8.0 to 8.1 and with every security patch, so I, as a newbie, thought, "why the h3ll not?"). Obviously, it didn't work and I got into a boot loop. So, here are the [lot] of things I have tried to do.

-Downloaded MiFlash and the latest OS version from Xiaomi site (8.1 witch november patch). Tried flashing a lot of times, I always get the boot loop after installing it. Wiped all data with TWRP and still didn't work. Always the same problem. Tried with with march security patch and it actually boots. But if I try to uptade via Settings or flash the newest room, I get stuck again.

-Downloaded latest AOSP ROM for the device, flashed it, wiped cache and data, instaled TWRP (3.2.3-0), but the system never initiates. It freezes in the boot animation and nothing happens.

-I've tried the same thing with Lineage 15.1 as well. Checked with MD5 in both roms. Doesn't work at all. Followed every tutorial I could, step by step, don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Can any one please help me? I don't know what to do anymore. Don't wanna get stuck in 8.0 either.

Also, if someone could .zip the Pie update, I would apreciate that. Could try that

\Garmin

\Storage Card\Garmin

\Storage Card\Program Files\GMXT ACTIVATOR

It's a good software of the world but lack of gentleman.

CEO play golf all the time ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] natong:
Garmin was designed to run in root folder of memory card (\Storage Card\Garmin). A stupid design from CEO.

Garmin save data files into root folder of your device (\Garmin). A stupid brain of CEO again. So, keep backup these folder before hard reset your device.

Finally, a stupid installer program will copy all files to your memory card and leave them all.

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

These are step by step:

1. Copy all files in folder \Garmin from CD disc or zip file to \Storage Card\Garmin

2. Copy GMXT.CAB to \Storage Card\GMXT and click it to install Garmin Activator.

3. Activate your Garmin software by run \Storage Card\Program files\GMXT ACTIVATOR\GMXT ACTIVATOR.exe (you need internet connection). These license files will be created:

\Storage Card\Garmin\GMAPSUPP.UNL

\Storage Card\Garmin\SW.UNL

4. After completed activation, uninstall Garmin Activator and delete all ****s.

\Storage Card\GMXT\GMXT.CAB

\Storage Card\Program files\GMXT ACTIVATOR\*.*

\Windows\Start Menu\GMXT ACTIVATOR.lnk

5. Make a shortcut to \Storage Card\Garmin\Apps\WM\QuePPC.exe and or map to hardware button1.

6. When run Garmin Moblie XT the first time, the following data files will be created in your device:

\Garmin\gpx\current.gpx

\Garmin\GARMIN.NVM

\Garmin\GARMIN_ARTE.NVM

\Garmin\GARMIN_FLASH.NVM

\Garmin\GARMIN_MDB.NVM

\Garmin\GARMIN_MPM.NVM

\Garmin\GARMIN_TRIP.NVM

\Garmin\GARMIN_WPT.NVM

\Garmin\GarminDevice.xml

7. Files that doesn't need:

\Storage Card\2577\autorun.exe

\Storage Card\2577\GARMINAUTORUN.EXE

\Storage Card\autorun.txt

\Storage Card\Garmin Mobile XT.exe

\Storage Card\GMXT\GMXT.CAB

\Storage Card\Program files\GMXT ACTIVATOR\*.*

\Windows\Start Menu\GMXT ACTIVATOR.lnk

8. Very clean install screen shots:

9. Now you can backup and restore only these stupid folders:

\Garmin

\Storage Card\Garmin

No need to reinstall or reactivate any more. Good luck!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] natong:
Note: If you don't activate the software, it can't detect GPS device.

another thing is register key (not confirm rumor) is set by ID + X ur card space too 1GB , 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB each size is different key so Garmin can charge $$$. not try i got 8GB :D

and I agree with "natong" garmin CEO

Im glad i bought it.

So after taking great care of my s7 edge over the years i owned it. After unlocking the bootloader and once debloated it hummed. Sadly it fell 3inches and shattered the screen of my s7edge.. So i saw this Mi Play on sale for 109$ with purchase of full insurance for a year i bought it. Ive never had Xaomi device and didnt know what to expect. It has 4g ram 64gb hd stock 2 sim trays and a gpu thats not bad. So the phone arrived and the packaging was nice(no real manual). The device is so slim it looks like its smaller then my s7 or evn my j6. Its not... The screen is larger then both devices , its just a slim phone. It looks great and the screen is very vivid and sharp so its nice for small fonts. The Miui software is simply a layer over Andriod that tries to integrate itself with failure. If you use it you will be advertised to while browsing your files,changing resolution,setting screenlock options. As a warning remove or disable Miui asap. After a few days i had it how i wanted it and havnt seen an ad sense. It runs better then my s7 in everyday use by far. No lag at all ever, and it plays Terriaria mobile perfectly . I like that i can just touch the fingerprint button and not have to wait for the screen to come on. Its a nice phone and its gonna be wide open here soon guys. Currently with full control with root and i could see me using this phone for another year or 2. In all im glad i got it, i really enjoy this phone and since theres nobody else saying so i figured i should say something .
