[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Dwokfur:
Flashing a recovery should not lock your bootloader, so I don't know how you did it. Note, that if you are using Xiaomi's firmware tool, you should not forget about unticking the box to lock the bootloader. But I would suggest to stay away from that tool and go command line instead with fastboot.

If you can access fastboot, I'd recommend to flash an official fastboot tgz ROM of your choice. Official ROM should boot even with an unlocked bootloader and you may start all over again more carefully.

So I think you might be able to avoid using EDL mode at this stage.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] freedoc:
probally I forgot to untick that box. The bootloader is locked and I have to wait 319 hours.

I have got to love the test point EDL method which is simple and effective, and gave me control over the device again.

If I flash again the chinese fastboot rom (in which I have changed the original recovery.img into TWRP.img, named recovery.img) via the EDL

will that give me an installt TWRP (still with locked bootloader, but possible to install custom roms) or will i have a brick again?

thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Dwokfur:
Only you can answer that question by trying it out. Are you sure you have to wait for the unlocking again? Double check that! As I know you also need a priviliged xiaomi account to be able to resurrect a device in EDL mode.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] ImolaDan:
Hi all,

I just got a 2018 Galaxy A7 this week.

I can't get the Always On Screen to function correctly.

When the proximity sensor at the top of the screen is covered, the screen will fade all the way down, but not shut off completely.

If I leave the phone face down on a table, I can see the screen dimly reflected off the surface if I turn the lights off.

From the manual: "If the sensor at the top of the device is covered for a certain period, the Always On Display will turn off". So it should turn off if face down, in a pocket, etc?

I tried setting "Block Accidental Touches" but this makes no difference. Same for a factory reset in case something I installed was holding the screen on.

Am I missing a required setting?

With thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] ImolaDan:
Also: I checked with the built-in tests (dial *#0*#). The proximity and light sensors seem to work ok, so this appears to be a software or setting issue? Or a mistake in the manual?
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] dangkhoa02106:
I confirm that the aod will automatically turn off if I put my phone into my pocket. But I afraid of the burn out of my display. The aod seem to stay the same position in a very long period and there is no option to set up the period for the movement of the aod. Maybe I will turn this funtion off.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] ImolaDan:
Thanks for checking. I'll contact Samsung about this.

I don't know if you need to worry about burn in, the clock and other information seems to move around often enough. Even the home button moves slightly to avoid issues. They've used these screens with these anti-burn in measures for a while and there hasn't been a large number of complaints.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] dangkhoa02106:
Yeah, A7 has this function and I worry about the burn in of its screen but it do not have LED notification and because of that I must use aod. But the A6, my wife's phone, do not have aod and LED notification. Why Samsung did not support LED indicator for A series? It so annoying.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krazy_Calvin:
I don't know why this has been so difficult. I was going to flash a rom last night and it ended up being a little bit of a nightmare. Maybe I did it in the wrong order or something. I got Twrp 3.2.3-0, the most recent bliss rom for bullhead, magisk and open gapps nano. I used adb and the drivers and then I used a command prompt to do fastboot recovery installation. I did forget to move over the other files to the phone before I put recovery on the phone... maybe that was a mistake. I had an issue the first time it booted into recovery where it was asking for a password and the password i use on the phone didnt work. I couldn't figure this password out. Finally i found a fastboot command to wipe the cache and user and I was able to then able to boot back into the phone. I was just happy to be able to restore my phone from the google backup. So now I'm back with an unlocked phone with no twrp recover installed to it. Could you please let me know what I should do. I'm on the november update, bootloader BHZ32c and baseband m8994f and kernel version 3.10.73 (if any of that matters)

Thanks in advance for the help.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] roydhritiman:
I flashed stock oreo roms on my g5 plus using fastboot and twrp methods. I also tried different versions of it (soak test 1 and october patch).

Each time I flashed the stock oreo rom, I encountered audio issues on music player apps like play music, spotify etc.

When a song played, I could hear a slight buzz as the song was playing, making it seem like the audio file has problems. Happens when I plug in headphones/use speakers.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling those apps and factory reset but nothing seems to fix this.

This does not happen with apps like youtube or the phone app, where the audio is absolutely normal. (with headphones/speakers/earpiece).

I have used custom nougat roms (stock and custom) and custom oreo roms like RR, PE and never faced such an issue with audio quality before.

Can anyone help me identify what the problem is?

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
There's most likely no way to figure out why some apps sound normal for you and others don't. A clean flash is always a good advice, if that doesn't help it's most likely a hardware issue (of your device or your audio hardware). I flashed stock Oreo a few days ago, rooted with magisk and flashed viper4android and ainur sauron as modules. The sound is great using Poweramp, YouTube or any other source.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] darkensx:
No one knows? anyone know if this board is the snapdragon board from China that supposedly can be rooted/unlocked? This is my whole reasoning to finding what device I have.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
in adb shell or terminal type "getprop" and send me the output. you can save as text and edit out any serial numbers or imeis etc. just to be safe.

From the looks of it you have a Chinese variant but im curious if you say it shows g965u1 physically on the device.

I dont think its possible to convert from g965u1 to g96500 so that is why im curious.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
yea, you have a G9650.. appears to be a chinese one but a S9+ none the less.. it should have an unlockable bootloader as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] darkensx:
thank you... also any idea why or whats causing developers options to not appear below about phone or anywhere for that matter.. i enabled them but i have been using an app from the play store so i can access them for the time being but i would like to figure out why its not listed in settings anywhere. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
i am not 100% sure.. i noticed your on Verizon network tho.. if i had to take a crazy guess thatd be it lol. u should be able to unlock tho regardless, vzw cant block that..

for example, on usa variants when u put a vzw sim in say a sprint device the device will reboot and provision for vzw bloat and all..

plus big red is known for blocking bl unlocks.. they probably have a setting somewhere that removes it once on their network until u switch carriers or flash another firmware

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] darkensx:
apparently this phone is from rent a center i got it as a gift so i thought it was straight from samsung due that it was ordered online

so um what do i need to do to unlock this download mode seem to throw a MDM mode error no idea what thats about and it always states Prenormal so not sure what my options are on this would appreciate some input on options
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
good luck.. the device is probably not paid off if it still has an RAC lock..

MDM is usually controlled server side using IMEI and/or serial number..

I assume if there is an MDM RAC lock that the device was not purchased from Samsung like you initially stated..

Seems you might have either known this or the person you bought from lied to you..

I would return it and get a refund if possible then purchase direct from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] darkensx:
actually that was my fault i assumed it was direct from samsung i asked the person after i wrote the O.P. again sorry my bad..

out of curiosity does rac typically remove mdm etc after devices are paid off as most of the info google produces either services claiming to remove mdm etc.. (scams most likely) or people asking how to remove it from locked devices (stolen i guess) but nothing about legit devices that are paid off or if it gets removed afterwards. have there been reports of if it ever gets removed?

It's china mainland open variant. Bootloader is unlocked by default, there's no need to use developer options.

You *might* need to use Crom.apk to make the bootloader accept unofficial zips. (I said "might" because I don't have an s9, and I used it on my s8 in order to be able to flash twrp. )

Recently i flashed havoc 2.0 on my asus zenfone max pro m1. after a while i realized that my google play games doen't work. it says "something went wrong check your internet connection". Tried several wifi and mobile data still the same. ( also tried all versions of gaaps and other custom roms) So i decided to go back to the stock rom and relock since i thought it was that rom issue. But after getting back to official stock rom i still have the same problem "google play games" still doesn't work and also discover another problem that google camera doesn't work even if i enable "camera to api" . Now yesterday i have unlocked the bootloader again and flashed havoc 2.0 again and rooted again with magisk. But still "google camera" and "google play games" doesn't work.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Metallijim:
Hello, I'm looking for an opinion on this phone. I have had an offer through my carrier to upgrade early, and am interested in this device. This is aimed at members who have bought through the 3 network in the UK.

What's the software experience like?

IS GOOGLE PAY WORKING? (Important)

Are there ads everywhere?

Is there any major drawbacks?

Have you felt the need to modify your phone, or have you just installed some 3rd party apps?

Hopefully I can gain a opinion. I'm coming from a Huawei Mate 9, which is running Oreo 8.0 with EMUI 8.0 on top.

Thanks for your time
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Stoffl_:
3 UK is selling BRANDED devices which aren't running official Xiaomi firmware. So you won't get timely updates. Apparently 3 UK take forever to release updates.

Use the search function it's come up a couple times.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] mbgrandi:
Hey, I bought the Mi 8 from Three UK two weeks ago. Cheaper than official Mi Store and it came with a Mi Band 3.

I didn't know before but apparently all Xiaomi phones from Three come with a Vendor ROM. It's the global ROM modified by Three. I have not seen any app or specific config for Three on it, but as a vendor ROM all updates need to be "approved" by Three before a release, and yes they are very slow on this. That's annoying. I'm waiting to flash the Official ROM, to receive updates directly from Xiaomi.

I liked the device, the screen is very good, battery lasts 2 days on average usage, camera is amazing, very well built phone.

I thought that MIUI would be very different from stock Android, but not really. My previous phone was a OnePlus 3, very close to stock, but MIUI is intuitive, easy to use, it has indeed extra apps (for gallery, cleaner, security, etc) but some are useful. You don't have an app drawer, but I installed the Poco launcher and it works perfectly.

I don't use Google Pay, but I believe you can use without problems, I have the app installed.

There are ads in some Mi apps but you can easily set to hide them.

My opinion, I recommend the phone. But if you want to pay it in full, buy it from Mi Store UK. You'll have all the warranty and official firmware installed. If you want to go for a contract, you have the option to stick with the Three firmware or flash the official one afterwards (I bought a pay as you go phone because I'm not on Three network, so I'm waiting the cooling period from Xiaomi to unlock it and flash the official ROM, I'm sure that will avoid the warranty, but to be honest I never needed to use it on any phone, so I'm fine with it).

Cheers man, if you have any questions let me know.

I was aware that Netflix didn't work, but literally all other apps only display SD content which is a disgrace on a HDR 10 compliant screen.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] mbgrandi:
Hey, basically I'm following these steps:

1) Apply for the unlock via Xiaomi unlock tool, you can find it at: h t t p s :/ / en.m i u i.com/unlock/

Usually it takes 360hrs to complete. After that time you can unlock the bootloader.

2) Download the Mi 8 Global ROM (fastboot version) and the Mi Flash Tool at: h t t p : / / e n .miui.com/a-234.html

3) Flash the ROM using the flash tool selecting "clean all and lock". This is the important part because it will re-lock the bootloader afterwards. So you will have the global official ROM with a locked device (important to use google pay, bank apps, etc).

Here is a guide that might be helpful: h t t p s : / / w w w .technobuzz.net/re-lock-bootloader-on-any-xiaomi/

I'm planning to do this during next week, when the 360hrs period expires.
