[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eyedoctor2:
Hey Rbox,

Thanks again for all you do for us!! I did a nandroid backup on my Fire TV 2 box using your v7 and received the attached message.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
Hrm. I can't remember the last time I tested backup. If you're not switching back and forth between ROM versions, you can ignore it. If you are, then I would say you need to flash the matching stock rom image prior to restoring the backup. I'll add testing this to my list of things to do.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eyedoctor2:
Just to be sure, in order to do flash the stock rom image would I just delete the su folder in the attached folder image and flash the remainder?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
Don't have to delete anything.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diodanny:
can you upload tha backup because my fire tv 2 everthing ok until amazon fire tv logo is stuck not pass
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIOYAM:
Just to confirm that v7 worked perfectly on a Gen 2 Box that had v5.2.6.6 on it. I also used rbox's pre-rooted v5.2.6.6_r1 because that seems to be the last version that works with Xposed while retaining full Alexa capabilities.....

Thank you rbox!

Hi

I'm thinking about buying the pocophone, but first I would like to know if it works with my gear s2. There is someone who has a way to prove compatibility between the two devices.

Thanks to anyone who helps me with my problem.:D
[Samsung Gear S2] dersie:
yes, I use my Gear S2 and my S3 on my Pocophone F1. The 2 watch are on the phone and works. Just see last time I used the S2, I not see the Calendar event on the watch with the widget. Do not know if it is just a one time bug ? after I used the S3 and the S3 displayed my events.
[Samsung Gear S2] Timmothy83:
confirmed, i use the pocophone f1 as well on beta version
[Samsung Gear S2] tsongming:
Maybe consider getting the Mi8 too, this way you will absolutely get all of your LTE bands, plus have AMOLED.

My gear 2 works great with the Mi8 and since the mi 9 came out yesterday. MI8 Prices are being cut by a large margin.
[Samsung Gear S2] JamesR404:
I use the Samsung gear S3 with Pocophone, but...

I have several issues I didn't have even I still had my Samsung.

The connection to my phone is lost often, and mostly I have to manually reconnect it from my phone.

I often don't get notifications even though the connection is there.

The find my phone feature doesn't work.

But, it is alright.

The Pocophone is really excellent and a very good buy. Just don't count on a smooth operation with your Samsung gear.
[Samsung Gear S2] dersie:
You must exclude from battery optimisation all apps needed : Samsung Wearable, Gear S plugin et Accesory service. And verify at each reboot and exclude again because some or all this 3 apps do not keep the battery settings after reboot. And prevent from unload with the lock icon on running list apps.

You cannot go back to 7.0, download and flash this firmware https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930V/VZW/download/G930VVRS8CRK2/249089/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ajstyles1:
I installed it. I want to go back to 7.0
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
You cannot go back to official stock 7.0 firmware after you upgrade to 8.0. Once the bootloader software is updated it cannot be downgraded.

The only way you can go back to 7.0 is to install a custom ROM.

This is why you should read about flashing BEFORE you do it so you understand what you can and cannot do.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] JassyNL:
I hope they will take time and finally polish out the bugs that are in there!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] laviniu_c:
i think i'm seeing a pattern with security updates, they usually release on the second working week of each month. (i assume they beta test the first week)

so for feb it should be this week as first week of feb was holiday. we'll see i guess, i agree, nice to have good stable updates rather then buggy rushed ones. sure, it's nice to have security patches on time but android one devices are miles ahead of the pack anyway so couple weeks after pixels sounds good.

edit: ok, there's definetly a pattern, second working friday each month :) - will confirm over the next months...

Hi, I have just updated my Xiaomi A2 with the Februari update. After installing, the phone is in normal operation mode. Then it said that I had to restart the phone.

After restarting, the phone keeps hanging in the white Android One start screen. Even the screen keeps on for minutes. I can't do anything. Also no hard reset or something else.

Do you do have any ideas?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Catsonvi:
I'm back on Havoc now. Xiaomi's updates truly are a joke. They receive the security patch one month earlier and they are still late and when they do push the update out it messes up everything. When I bought an Android One device I was expecting stability and timely updates, but it seems like Xiaomi can't keep it up.

I was starting to doubt myself about this, but apparently I'm not the only one noticing. It's even worse with Night Light enabled - the blues and greens look completely off.

Not only was the update 2 months late, but Xiaomi and/or Google always manage to mess something up. Android One is a joke.

Display issues

I feel the display can reveal more data from darker areas after feb update! I took an extremely tricky shot of a boundary wall with sun at background shining through trees, earlier the creepers on the wall weren't visible clearly on low brightness, but now it seems to be much clear. I feel the same with stock pixel 3 dark wallpapers... It can reveal much more colors than before... some sort of display overlay particularly on whatsapp can be seen where swiping through the headers can lead to screen flickering where WhatsApp is written. Didn't face this when swiping horizontally through devcheck app.. something is surely messy! Not to mention more grey than dark mode for YouTube and stock google apps!

Something really went wrong with this update, screen became more saturated (not a big problem for me), but the camera performance got worse, also the screen is flickering when I'm scrolling on grey or darker areas. It's annoying as hell. At last, switching between apps, or going back to home screen became more fluid.

Hi all, I'am new here (and not speak english correctly sorry for that) but I want to share my experience on my february updated MI A2 so let's the issues

The grey theme is very brighter and make the screen blink at scrolling apps menu (same issue on grey/dark apps, games, videos...)

The camera is going bad... the frontal camera blow and distort the image and I can't take good photos

Rear camera have artifacts on dark colors even during day with good light

emmc bug still present...

The camera slow motion bug still present (the video freeze at transition from normal video >> slow motion)

Camera2api not enabled (and probably never be)

Ear phones volume bug has been solved

The low screen LCD light has been solved

Note that I have performed a factory reset after update twice times and not solve issues.

Same problem here.. did you found any solution?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] luks:
Same here. phone is a brick now.

Pie update was fine (actually I got a bootloop while connected to the charger that was solved when I disconnected the charger. I remember the time when connecting the charger was a must during long updates, now it is to avoid).

January OTA update was not available (probably it was pulled back due to its problems).

February OTA was found on Feb 24th, download was fine, install apparently fine but after restart... stuck in the androidone screen.

keeping pressed the power button + the vol down it is possible to see the FASTBOOT screen but it is completely usless

C:\adb>fastboot oem device-info

(bootloader) Verity mode: true

(bootloader) Device unlocked: false

(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false

(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

OKAY [ 0.016s]

finished. total time: 0.016s

I'm going to return it to Amazon, I don't see alternatives.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] xseman:
It looks like they havent tested the update properly.

Check en.miui.com/thread-5780057-1-1.html

Found multiple reports of having bricked phone, worst thing is that you can't even acces it from adb or fastboot.. I still have warranty so I hope they'll repair it somehow :rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] rooobot:
Yeah, I didn't think to unlock the bootloader before doing a security update, and now it seems to be stuck on the androidone screen too...

I just got this phone too, like last week. Not sure how well the warranty process is going to be for me as I got mine from Aliexpress.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] enapah:
[MENTION=6531997]rooobot[/MENTION] You'll have to send it back to the seller, and hope he honors the warranty. Xiaomi itself will not accept any warranty claim other than the phones sold in their website or their own offical stores (authorized retailer will *not* be honored directly -- figured this out the hard way).

I actually had to put-up with this recently, as their wording on my warranty actually said something different (EU bought phone, there are country specific terms depending where the store is located)... but their customer service simply couldn't care less as to what was written in the warranty terms. Without a doubt, the most infuriating warranty experience ever!

The store eventually solved the issue, and quite fast too (even though I hadn't realized how fast they were until the legal deadline of the repair was reached, mostly because communicating with the customer certainly wasn't their forte, and boxes do pile-up in my office).

Wish you the best of luck.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] rooobot:
[MENTION=5983145]enapah[/MENTION] hmm, yeah sure is going to be fun. Might see if I can get the seller to pay return shipping, as it's quite expensive to ship to China from New Zealand, not holding my breath though (my seller is a "Top Brand", maybe I'll get lucky).

I might just do the edl "fix" though, doesn't sound too hard, I've repaired quite a few phones before.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] enapah:
[MENTION=6531997]rooobot[/MENTION] well, I am biased, but if I were in your shoes I would likely try the EDL. I'd even argue that, if you are well-versed in cellphone repair, then doing the testpoint is far less risky than shipping back to China.

caveat emptor: the risk is still there, do be aware
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] iluvatrix:
I got my A2 few days before the Feb update dropped. Based on my experience with previous Nexus phones, I did the bootloader unlocked immediately upon charging it past 80%. So for all these bricked during updating phones can be avoided by having the bootloader & critical partition remaining unlocked?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] rooobot:
[MENTION=4808470]iluvatrix[/MENTION] Yeah, keep your bootloader unlocked is probably a good idea on the Mi A2 phone haha, I will be.

Anyway, after spending most of the morning trying to get my phone back after the update got it stuck in boot loop hell, I managed... some how, even though I did it was locked.

(I posted this on the miui forums too, to hopefully help some of them too)

I installed the OTA Feb security update and then got the phone stuck in the androidone boot loop.

I too had everything locked, my bootloader and that critical thing.

I've somehow managed to get the bootloader unlocked from fastboot without opening my phone to use the testpoints.

I'm not quite sure what I did that unlocked the bootloader, but here is what I can recall all doing, hopefully, it can help some of you too.

I did lots of reboots, and waiting on the stuck androidone screens, so maybe best to do an extra reboot between steps, idk.

> fastboot flashing unlock_critical

> fastboot reboot edl

> fastboot oem unlock

Then check if it's unlocked.

> fastboot oem device-info

(bootloader) Verity mode: true

(bootloader) Device unlocked: true

(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true

(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

OKAY [ 0.001s]

Finished. Total time: 0.001s

Then I could flash it using official ROM from: https://en.miui.com/download-353.html

I done (I'm on Mac) `./flash_all.sh` from inside the unzipped ROM. (obviously, if you're on Windows you'd want to use the bat file `flash_all.bat`.)

I even tried the official miui unlock tool for miui phones for the lolz, didn't work.

https://en.miui.com/unlock/

Yes, I know it's not made for these androidone phones, but I was up for trying anything.

Which you all the best of luck, and maybe in the future leave the bootloader unlocked... Like I will now :P
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] adil71:
Screen acting weirdly.

after the February update the screen is acting weirdly like I don't quite know how to describe it properly but when ever there is some movement on the screen like you're watching a video or scrolling up and down in any app like Instagram some weird lines kinda appear on the screen and they are especially visible on a grey coloured image but also visible on a multi coloured image and I have also noticed that these lines change shape if there is movement on the screen for example on YouTube in scrolling up and down in the dark mode you will see that that some parts of the screen go darker and brighter as these lines change shape or move from one place to another. I hope you get what I'm trying to tell cuz really I am not the best at explaining problems .:o

Hi there, forgive my writing....

I bricked my phone during january update, totally bricked!! the return wasn´t an alternative, so after some research I found the deep flash cable method, made the cable and it works for me, Important!!!! the battery must be drained!!!

After that I'm Fearles flashing the cell.

Good luck all!!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] rooobot:
Do you have a link to how you made the deep flash cable?

I've left my bootloader unlocked in case an update breaks it again but would love to lock it and just use the cable to unlock it when needed.

Went out and picked a Nokia 7 plus up which is also same specs as A2 and same February update but not 1 problem at all wayyy better example of a sd660 android one.
