[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] heyrald:
Wellp the february update did not fix this problem. Is there anyway to contact them to fix this problem for the next update?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sshanky:
My brother and I both have Global Mi 8 phones with the latest stable version of MIUI (10.2.1.0). On both phones, the Google Maps location jumps around about 100 or maybe even 200 feet in any direction, causing the blue dot to make sudden jumps on screen, sometimes ahead, sometimes it goes a bit backward but, worse, sometimes it goes left and right. For example, on the highway, as we pass an off-ramp, the blue dot may jump to the right onto the off-ramp, causing instructions to be recalculated. Then it jumps right back onto the highway where it should be. It's super frustrating and both our phones do it almost precisely in the same way, at the same time sometimes. I've checked all the settings I can find and nothing seems out of order.

Interesting. I will try the google maps suggestions over there. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sshanky:
The net result of what I learned from the other thread was that cleaning caches, clearing all data, etc. did not help. The only thing that they reported worked was uninstalling updates to Google Maps. Unfortunate that we can't use the newest version but if that is the workaround we will have to live with it until the next update.

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
I used to have the same problem and I was absolutely furious, I even thought selling the mi 8, that kind of performance was unacceptable from a 2018 device.

I ended up flashing the latest stable through fastboot and uninstalling all maps updates, well it seems to work better for now (although not as well as my 2016 Axon 7) but it can get the job done now.

Anyway, that was my experience.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flyin18T:
I'm using WAZE until the next MIUI update fixes this issue. Trust me, I miss using MAPS, however WAZE is a very good substitute.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] casabel:
For those who experience such problem with google maps download ver. 9.85.2 apk which is last known to work
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] erbarad:
So we basically need to wait for a firmware update that fixes it?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stoffl_:
Or you could just read the posts in this thread and find the fix
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] erbarad:
I read the fix - installing old gmaps- but the actual fix would be being able to use recent gmaps, no?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stoffl_:
We don't even know if it's a firmware issue. Those people affected all confirmed that it's only within google maps and that other gps/navigation software works just fine.

Most people - like myself - never even experienced this issue.

Global stable 10.0.3.0, 6 x global beta updates afterwards and now xiaomi.eu 9.1.17 - never had any issues with GPS or google maps specifically.

Do you actually need a specific google maps feature or bugfix that that came after the 9.85.2 release ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] erbarad:
It's an unnecessary hassle that I'd rather avoid.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Swos:
my solution:

before start Maps do:

set gps in "basso consumo" (sorry i don't know in english, "Low" something)

activate A-GPS

run Maps, choose your destination, when tap GO maps ask if you want turn on google blabla, tap YES. Navigation start :)

sorry for my **** english '-_-
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Barnir:
I'm on xiaomi.eu and had this issue.. tried the google adress for assited GPS.. same result..

Noticed yesterday that the IP that comes default on xiaomi.eu... as no response when pinging...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] x2tharay:
Try Waze app and it will be working fine I will try old version of Google maps too see if it fixes it. I will keep you up to date
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] erbarad:
Using a different app is not really a solution. Thankfully old gmaps works without issues for now.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sshanky:
I've turned off auto updates for Google Maps, and uninstalled updates, and things are going well so far.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nibrahimb:
Install google map version 10.5.1 works well with me.

Don't forget to switch auto update off.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stoffl_:
Please check comprass calibration in google maps:

Press on the blue dot of your location and the calibrate compass at the bottom

Check it a couple times during a normal day. Does it keep getting reset to low accuracy and are you having trouble recalibrating it ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] erbarad:
I've actually noticed that the compass either stays at a low level of calibration or - at most - medium.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stoffl_:
Yeah - doesn't appear to happen on google maps 9.85.2 though.

I've long suspected that this is the actual issue people are experiencing...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hiagodalmolin:
Here Maps is working... I think this issue is a Google Maps' problem , probably because the Dual GPS. I will report that in Play Store too.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JoVo008:
Yes, the Google Maps GPS inaccuracy problem only occurs in the newer app versions. Reverting to the one that came installed with the phone fixes this - but this is not necessary anymore since meanwhile someone has found a real fix for the problem:

Somehow Google Maps doesn't correctly use the phones location services but its own. You can cure this by revoking location access for the Google Maps app and then start it new - it will ask for location permission. Grant it - and now everything works like a charm even with the newest Maps app.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Propheticus:
I found this tip and tried it. Google maps worked again. Sadly the next time I used it the issues returned. Executing these steps another time no longer fixed it either...

For now the only 'fix' turned out to be the deletion of google maps updates.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JoVo008:
That's really strange because the above procedure worked for literally EVERYONE with this problem in the old MIUI forum and there were plenty of them.

Maybe there's another problem with your phone/setup?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stoffl_:
No I had the same issue recently.. Something changed with either Google maps or China weekly /xiaomi.eu or something.

Just check Google maps compass calibration level periodically.

I've ditched miui for now... This issue, the new mobile data bug randomly blocking specific apps and the absolutely horrid battery life since April was finally enough.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Propheticus:
Maybe something changed in the latest MIUI 10.3.2? I received this update shortly after trying the workaround and this coincided with the issue returning.

I'll try updating GMaps again and see if the issues return... Keep you posted.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedroM.CostaAndrade:
Hello, I have sent my phone to warranty and after that I received a phone with NO RPMB and after many frustrations I found (with help of many users and forums) how to workaround this..

To start:

Download boot image from here

Download twrp from the official website

Change the name to boot.img and twrp.img and put it in the platform-tools folder

Open the terminal there

Download your favourite rom

Enter fastboot mode on your phone

!!!!After this you will loose all of your data!!!!

Paste this to the terminal

fastboot oem unlock

(select yes on your phone)

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

fastboot format userdata

fastboot format cache

Reboot to recovery (if it doesn't enter at the first time enter download mode again and restart to recovery)

After that you have twrp and can flash every rom.. yay!!!

Wipe everything.

Copy the rom zip to your phone using MTP

Install your fancy new rom :)

If you want to install magisk:

Install the magisk manager.

On the app select install and select patch image file. (it will create a new boot image already patched)

After that install the new image (patched_boot.img) using twrp

Do a clean instalation of your ROM (recomended) or a Factory Reset first

Reboot to twrp

Select install

Click in install image

Select patched_boot.img

Select install to boot partition

Reboot.

Install magisk manager and do the sugested setup.

You now have magisk working :)

Thanks to all the users that helped me!!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I had real trouble getting twrp to work the last time I tried this a few months ago. Followed the steps here and am now on pixel experience with magisk. Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigibian:
Hello, im in the same situation of NO RPMB. This procedure will permanently lets have bootloader unlocked?

About Magisk, i can install it in usual way once im in the recovery? (I mean download latest stable version for Bullhead and flash via TWRP).

Thanks.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
My bootloader is still unlocked after following this guide :)

For Magisk:

-Install your custom ROM and boot it up (without root)

-Then extract the boot.img from the ROM zip file and save it on your phone storage.

-Install the Magisk manager apk

-In Magisk manager, select install Magisk> choose the patch boot image option and -Select the boot.img you previously saved.

Once it's done, reboot into twrp and flash the patched boot.img. When you reboot Magisk will be working.

I've had no issues with my bootloader, even after an ota update for pixel experience.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigibian:
Thank you, i will try it.

Another question. I never tried dowload mode before, as i read in other post i should Plug USB cable into pc, Hold volume up and power at the same time and plug phone into usb that's already connected to pc, right?

When in download mode i can fire up fastboot commands like im in bootloader mode?

So then after do last command fastboot format cache i can reboot to recovery from terminal using adb reboot recovery or i can / should do it from device?

About twrp it's ok to use the latest 3.2.3.0 official version or the 3.2.1 4core version from here as someone suggested from Reddit? https://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-4-core-t3796656
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The official twrp works for fine for me, haven't tried the 4 core version but it can't hurt to try if you need it.

Power off your phone then press and hold volume - and power to enter bootloader, then connect to your pc and follow the steps in the OP
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigibian:
So i have to enter in bootloader mode? At point 6 of OP there is written to enter in the download mode, this makes me confusing.

Can anyone explain me latest 2 commands why they are needed?

fastboot format userdata

fastboot format cache
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
This thread is fairly comprehensive;

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/moto-nexus-5x-sticky-roll-t3207487

Holding volume - and power takes you to fastboot mode (download mode essentially), theres also an option to reboot into recovery (selectable using the volume keys.)

Formatting user data and cache is necessary prior to installing a new rom (especially if moving from stock). You lose all data (back up first!) But a clean flash is the best place to start.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigibian:
Thanks for the explanation but for installing a new ROM usually you can do factory reset directly in TWRP, plus doing all the wipes, this should be enough.

About fastboot mode and download mode, they are completely different, fastboot mode: vol down + power, download mode for LG: Plug USB cable into pc, Hold volume up and power at the same time and plug phone into usb.

My question is what i can do in download mode? As OP says after entering download mode open terminal and use fastboot commands.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You need to use vol- and power to go into fastboot mode then connect to the pc. As for userdata and cache, if you don't clean them when coming from stock you will have issues (your data will be encrypted if you're on stock?). As I said this guide worked for me. The op was talking about fastboot mode in the 6th option (also there is much more information in the thread I linked above)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedroM.CostaAndrade:
sorry for the confusing i wanted to say fastboot mode..

i knew the thread that you are saying but most people doesn't want to search so I made a little thread only with the needed parts..

I use it myself so I have a place to remember all the steps when I need to change the rom to a new one or when I make experiments and brick my phone XD
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedroM.CostaAndrade:
If anyone know anything else that should be in here just say, I really want to improve the post
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fhartane:
Hi. I just went through the whole process several times (I have tried the different modified boot images from the dedicated post) and my device is still locked [emoji24] any suggestions?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedroM.CostaAndrade:
your device will always be locked this is a workaround to get twrp, new roms and magisk while it stays locked..

with twrp usable it won't matter if you are locked or not
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fhartane:
Thanks for the answer. You mean that now I have twrp, I can flash custom Roms with my bootloader locked without any issue?

Envoyé de mon ONEPLUS A3003 en utilisant Tapatalk
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedroM.CostaAndrade:
Yes :) if you have TWRP you can install custom ROMs, custom Kernel's, magisk, super su, etc..

the locked bootloader only prevents you from using fastboot commands like the one needed for installing custom recovery

Now that you have TWRP you can use it for everything
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fabiojoker:
Hello everyone, I also have a nexus 5x with motherboard that has been replaced under warranty and unfortunately I can't keep the bootloader unlocked.

I tried the procedure you have indicated, but at this point there is the problem, because after inserting the boot.img and twrp.img inside the phone, then when I go to do the unlocking procedure with 'fastboot oem unlock (select yes on your phone) 'in practice the memory is deleted on the phone, so I lose the previously uploaded files, and therefore I can no longer continue with the flash procedure of boot.img and twrp.img because they are no longer present in memory.

I hope I made myself understood, maybe I am wrong, or is there a way to solve this problem?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedroM.CostaAndrade:
fastboot is for the files on your PC not your phone

you need to put the files inside of platform-tools and then open cmd inside it and use the fastboot commands

fastboot will take the files of your PC
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fabiojoker:
Hello, thank you for your information, since I haven't done modding on phones for a long time, I didn't remember exactly the procedure with fastboot and therefore I didn't understand where I had to put the files, but in the end I did it.

Thank you
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krzeszny:
Why is a custom boot image needed? I don't want to root.

Do these packeges only work with vanilla tnt or they should work with other roms as well?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] + Que PPC:
NO NO NO

Only in TNT vanilla version cause it has an autorun programed to launch your stuff in a hard reset, something like Customization extra UC in your mini sd card. and believe me it cost to you to much space on memory.

Xcuse me Guys i cant imagine where does i have to post so, here i go...

How can I make the bars turnsin black! black black! not gray... black, iknow that i can change a registry in hklm/software/microsoft/color the hue color to 160 decimal, but when i change to other TSK it change to gray again! is there a cab that keeps the registry with black and when i get other color and back the black was black.

Thanks Ithink that WMBE tsk can be more awsome with that color.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] iceblade997:
The download is just a zip file with a bunch of CABs... you can just download it, and then install 'em manually...

Nice work, mate... Really realy top notch work... can't wait to start playing some of the SNES classics :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Simonkjam:
Hello there, thanks to all for testing and using this packs, really.

Question: Do these packeges only work with vanilla tnt or they should work with other roms as well?

Yes,

but only with UC roms

. TNT 6.1 rom (19213 actually) are the best for Wizard now, i've tested all the roms for Wizard...nothing compare with TNT...

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anoblenate:
Hi. Thanks in advance the hard work, it is greatly appreciated.

I just revived my t-mobile MDA vario and went through the tutorials to unlock and flash it to then install custom Mobile 6 ROMs.

As this is new to me, I have a question about installing the CAB packs. I'm don't quite understand the instructions.

So, If I want to install the TNT Vanilla rom, along with the Vplus pack and the Vfun pack I place the VPlus folder and the sdconfig.txt file in the root of my card.

If I also want to install the vfun cabs, I put the vfun folder in the root as well, but do not know where to put the sdconfig.txt file for it. Does the file go in the vfun folder, or the root? If it goes in the root, do I edit it and add the lines that apply to the vfun cabs to the sdconfig.txt file for vplus?

I hope this question makes sense. Also, the sdconfig.txt file for V007, Vbus, and Vfun all list the cabs as being in \Storage Card\VBus\ where as the VPlus txt is \Storage Card\VPlus\. I'm not sure if each folder needs to be \Storage Card\V007\, \Storage Card\VFun\, etc.

Thanks again. This is my first time modifying my MDA I've got a lot to learn.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Simonkjam:
Yes bro, if you edit the sdconfig you can add other cab and relative path of course ;D

But remeber: ok for different folders but ONLY one sdconfig.txt on the root!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anoblenate:
Ok, thanks for the quick help!

I think I may have just messed up, though. I had the phone running great with IPL 2.26 SPL 2.26 from the t-mobile 2.26 rom, then as I went to install the wm6.1 rom I was wiping something off the screen around 2% of the way through the install. The screen went white and stayed that way and the ROM install showed an error. I've been trying to recover it, but haven't had success yet.

I really really really hope I didn't just brick the phone. I had it sitting for the past 3 months and finally got it working until this.

edit: Ok, had the SD card in and think it was causing the problems. Got the tmobile 2.26 installed again. I'll let you know if there's any issues with the TNT rom.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] + Que PPC:
maybe its an error!

My pda is a Wizard a HTC Wizard, mda vario, qtek 9100 etc etc.

thanks Mr Simonkjam that glossy bars works flawlesly!!!!!!!!

keep the work! so i need to know if the emulators works on mda vario `cause the slow processor (fixed with batterystatus i know) but still slow for emulating snes, and the poor hardware buttons.

Thanks for the Aplication...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] abqandrea:
These are great packs - thank you so much!

Now for the tweaking question - can I install just part of one of the packs? Let's say I want about half of the cabs on the Business pack and would rather not take up extra space on the device for the rest.

Would it be as simple as editing the .txt file to remove the ones I didn't want, or is there something special in the 'sjam - final settings.cab' that would also need modifying?

Thank you! :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] + Que PPC:
No more

As simple that this jeje :D

Just delet the lines that said the cab for install in the sd config .TXT example:

if you dont want to install MMS composer delet this line:

cab:/storage card/vfun/Arcsoft_mms_composer(bla bla bla).CAB

and if you wish, delete the cab from the folder that contains all the cabs on package, or just move it out from the folder.

Hope is useful my answer, dont need to do anymore than this to mod your sd customization.
