[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] API182:
Hi All,

I did a silly thing, basically, bought a new phone which was supposed to be a Global model - we'll get to that in a minute...

Right from setting it up, I just felt that it wasn't right given that the Bootloader was already unlocked, so I decided to download the latest global fastboot rom and flash it via MiFlash (I've done this before plenty of times on RN3s and my Mi6...)

As this phone is for my mother in law, I thought it would be best to lock the bootloader back up, making it as 'stock as possible'.

Obviously, this is where things went wrong... Since reading around the web, I see now that it must actually be the chinese version of the phone and had the global rom flashed to it, but then you need to keep the bootloader unlocked?

Basically, I've tried all sorts, can't get anything other than ADB Sideload from recovery (Connect with MiAssistant) and fastboot obviously won't let me flash another rom now...

So my questions are :-

- Is EDL mode my only option? If so, is it a viable option considering all this stuff I'm reading about Anti-rollback and the fact that the current global rom that's flashed to the device is actually the very latest global stable so what Chinese rom do I go to from here?

- Is the absolute only way to get into EDL mode by disassembling the device and shorting the pins? (Redmi Note 3 used to have this power button/volume buttons sequence from power off state to get into EDL?)

- What's this EDL Auth stuff all about I'm seeing around the web and do I need to worry about it?

- Is there actually any fundamental differences in hardware with this being the Chinese model? Where I bought it from it was advertised as supporting Band 20 LTE for example, is this still the case?

In summary, am I right in thinking if I can actually get the China stable/dev rom flashed to it via EDL, I can then seek authority to unlock the bootloader, then flash the global rom again and leave the bootloader unlocked? Is this the right procedure?

** Also, just for info, this device hasn't been signed into yet with a Google account or a Mi Account so there's no Mi Account bound to it unfortunately :(

Thanks in advance!!!

From what i can understand about your situation,

You bought a phone which is chinese version but already on a global rom which is bootloader unlocked, and you just want to lock the bootloader.

My solution: Download the "RIGHT" fastboot global Rom version(OEIMIFA or NEIMIEK rom) for your phone via miflash and check "Clean all and Lock" to lock the bootloader.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] cosmic97:
Hey, so i have been using this phone for almost 10 months now . i unlocked the bootloader almost within a month inorder to flash stable miui global roms since ota updates were taking longer time. Now i have been on stock miui rom for a while and i get ota updates normally. Now i want to flash a custom rom so i pressed volume down key + power button and every time it reboots normally instead of boooting into fastboot mode.

Things i tried

1. power button + volume down key.(Reboots normally)

2. Tried to boot into fastboot by using adb commands but when i typed adb devices, my device dint show up in the list of devices

If anyone has faced or know anything about this please help!:confused::(

Hi,

I'm trying to get Netflix to work on Lineage OS and Google Nexus 7 (2013 WiFi edition). Netflix has been showing an error (5.7) when I try to watch an episode. I talked to their customer support, and they asked me to run a root check application (Root Check by CG Media). The app concluded that my tablet is rooted, even though I have never rooted it. All the apps check boxes were actually red, so I don't know how it concluded that.

Does anyone have experience with this kind of error? Is there a way to make it work (preferably without rooting)?

Thanks,

Haggai

Continuing my investigation, I tried an unofficial Lineage OS build with or without Magisk. Either way Netflix didn't work. Curiously, I was able to watch Netflix with Kodi using Lineage OS 14.1, but not with the unofficial 16 build.

Anyone found a fix for this 5.7 error using Lineage?

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

Disregard. Found the fix. Netflix blocked the app on rooted devices. Downgraded to version 4.8.5 and all is good.

The Netflix 4.16 one gives me Error 5.7 after some seconds of watching, with mentioned 4.8.5 i have no problems on the Nexus ♥

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] :
I want to make a boot animation(I have already made an animation)like Apple's.

I put the animation to system/media but nothing changed, Magisk module can change it
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] a1291762:
You need to put the boot animation into /system/system/media. At least, the way TWRP mounts it you do. I think it's because /system is actually mounted as / once the system has come up?

FYI - Here's what I did:

- Boot to TWRP.

- Go to Mount, uncheck readonly and mount system.

- Copy my boot animation to /system/system/media/bootanimation.zip

- unmount system.

- reboot

I had an animation that was packed into a TWRP-installer zip, but it didn't work on the A2 Lite because it wrote to /system/media instead of /system/system/media.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jazper08:
So i have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (d2dcm) lock on NTT Docomo Japan, there are unofficial development for this device but the developer discontinued making builds 4 years ago. The last build that the developer made was CyanogenMod 13 (CM 13) but there is one issue, the Sim Card was not recognize by the ROM although my device is already unlocked from the carrier. So i search up on internet but no luck, so i come up with a new idea, port the Lineage OS to my device. The Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T (d2att/d2lte) had the same specs with my device (d2dcm). First i downloaded the Lineage OS Nightly build (lineage-14.1-20171204-nightly-d2att-signed.zip) for the d2att, once i downloaded it i modify the updated-script and added my device id on it, the next thing i did was edit the build.prop and did the same thing. Then i tried to install it via twrp (i factory data reset it without wiping the data) then it work but there is one problem when i booted it up its stuck in Samsung Logo and it doesn’t want to boot, so i pull out the boot.img on my old ROM (CyanogenMod 13) and replace the boot.img on the Lineage OS d2att with from my old ROM. Then installed it again, the installation was successful but there is text written in red shown in the photo below

Then when i booted my device, the Lineage OS showed up but now it’s in bootloop stage, did i do something wrong? Or did i miss some steps? Please let me know, or please teach me, i really wanted to use the Lineage OS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Jia XL:
So I purchase this note 8 5 months ago it is a Tmobile Note 8. I recently updated to the latest security patch. I came across this unbrand tutorial and downloaded the patched Odin, XAA rom, BL,CSC, AP. While I try to flash my note 8 in download mode Odin just start and end in a few seconds. Nothing happening in my phone. No error code either.

So is it not possible to flash unbranded firmware now due to locked bootloader? I saw article that saying flashing carrier unlocked firmware will brick the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Jia XL:
Trying to upload the screen shot here if you guys can see
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Ace42:
1. You need patched Odin

2. PC needs recent Samsung USB drivers

3. Check the downloaded file's integrity (for corruption)

XAA can be flashed to any SD model. I used CSA1 on mine, but currently using TMO fw. Phones with locked loaders will generally accept signed packages.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Jia XL:
Do you know l what is the version of patched odin? I used the Prince's odin 3.1 version but it fail.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Ace42:
That's the one. 3.13.1_3B. When does the process fail?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Jia XL:
Assuming I have the right firmware, ap, black, CSC, and my phone in download mode, when I press start in Odin nothing happen on my phone nor the progress bar in odin. No error code for odin as well. It says something like fail to execute.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Jia XL:
Alright I might download the 3.13.1_3B and try now. Does using home CSC affect the flags because I dont want to wipe my drive yet. I was hoping pie update will kinda fix what might be mess up during the flash
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Ace42:
Did it detect your phone? Normal Odin won't work for conversions.

DON'T use home csc unless you're flashing the same carrier fw (tmo -> tmo). You need the other one (oym). And yeah, it'll erase everything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Jia XL:
I will have to wipe everything then. Another dumb question, is there anyway to backup the phone? I used to own a note 3 and it does through kies. Does note 8 backup through kies as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Jia XL:
Okay so i back up my phone and downlaod latest patch odin and use a the CSC OYM but the odin say all threads complete (succeed 0/ failed 1).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Jia XL:
Okay so i boot into recovery and factory reset the phone and boot into download mode still give me Succeed 0/ Failed 1 error.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Ace42:
Before wiping anything manually unlink your Google account (frp) and Samsung account. You can backup most things with Smart Switch. Some apps or fames store files in /root/Android/. No clue about Kies, never tried it.

Something isn't right. Did you install the current Samsung drivers? You also need to fill everything (AP, BL, etc).

Edit: Try another USB port. Preferably USB2. Also check the archive you downloaded in 7zip, it might be corrupted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Jia XL:
Sadly all the usb port on my laptop is usb 3. I download the firmware from Samfirm twice, tried it both didnt work now checking it with 7zip as im typing.

Alright 7zip says no errors.

Just to clarify, the I have bootloader v5 does that inhibit my ability to flash unbranded firmware?

I have RMVP provisioned and RMVP fuse blown on the download screen and Qualcomm secure boot on, i dont know if it matter to the flash. I have read some thread windows 10 might be one of the reason it fails. I dont know. I might start from removing my google account and try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Ace42:
You need to get to a USB2 port. None of my Type C phones function correctly when plugged into the USB3 port.

Downgrading BL isn't possible, but you can switch to a fw with the same BL version. My N8 was on the Sept patch (TMB) before I moved to CRL2. Windows 10 can cause conflicts on some setups. I'm an insider so using a test build of W10, not the normal one.

The reason you should remove the account is just to avoid placing a Google lock on your own phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
- To flash an unbranded firmware (U1) download this patched Odin https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657595813

- Then you can go from CRL1 to CRL2 flashing this firmware through Odin https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603907794 take a backup using Smart Switch, you can keep it in your sdcard, don´t forget to enable USB debugging in developer options, go to recovery manually or use adb reboot recovery to be sure that pc is detecting device properly, format data and reboot to bootloader (according recovery stock menu) and flash the files using CSC_OYM (you need to format your actual CSC).

- Till here is done and you´ll receive an OTA notification to update to the latest Oreo CSA1 (aproximately 46MB) but if you want to go to Pie betas don´t update it and download this zip and flash it in recovery https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603909037

- And this is the latest Pie beta update available for unbranded Note8 https://firmware.science/download?url=00000/0000/SS-N950U1UEU5ZSAB-to-EU5ZSBB-UP

[LG V40 Questions & Answers] MV10:
The subject says it all -- I run Google Messages for SMS because I use messages.android.com pretty regularly. However, it doesn't play audio notifications in the always-on screen -- it vibrates and shows the icon. I've been through every setting I can find. It plays notifications if the screen is fully on.

I did use the LG app to move from a G6 to the V40, but I did a "clear data" on the Messages program afterwards since it had my contact/message history all mixed up. (Thought it was interesting that it was able to restore some of the messages after clearing -- I suppose T-Mobile has a certain amount of history stored.)

I've thought about asking in the Google product forums but support quality over there is dismal, at best.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] SaintlySins:
I've had the same/similar experience and I'll clarify.

When the screen open and I'm already texting "in that thread" there is no sound, but it does vibrate.

However, it will audio a notification and vibrate if a text comes in on another thread.

BTW: I'm using Message+ through Verizon ... so we seem to be experiencing similar situations using different texting apps.

It behaves the same way when e-mailing. If I've got an e-mail thread open and another email comes into that thread, then it'll only vibrate, however, it'll make an audible sound and vibrate if it's a new e-mail or part of another e-mail thread.

Don't know why and can't find a solution. I don't care when it's a text-message as I see the screen move when the new text come in the thread I'm reading/typing in, yet it is an issue in e-mails as e-mails tend to be longer form and I forget to check for new replies in the thread I'm working in and have missed an e-mail or two.

A second part of this is that there's no visual notification in the Notification Bar if a text or e-mail comes in while I was in that thread ... again, not an issue with texts as I see the text-screen move with each newly received text, but it is a big deal with e-mails.

Being honest ... this isn't turning into the phone I hoped it would be. There's a lot of wonky things that are more disruptive than helpful. I've been offered $550 dollars and a great set of ear-bud to trade this phone in for the Galaxy S10 ... although it's as locked down as any new phone could/would be, I can get that deal directly from Samsung and get an "Unlocked" version so I wouldn't be handcuffed to Verizon anymore.

I'm SERIOUSLY considering it.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] PTJunkie1975:
I agree with you on all that. I was super pumped about this phone and 3 months down the road it has been nothing but a HUGE disappointment. I've been asking $550 as well to get rid of it and go back to Samsung but no luck. Never going to LG again.

Has anyone had any problems with the new Garmin XT update version 4.20.40w. I updated yesterday and now it will no longer find a GPS located on com 4, it will only find the "GPS Intermediate Driver." If anyone else has experienced this problem, or has any answers please help me out. Thanks

I'm using DCD 3.0.0, with Sprint.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] roninld:
Sounds like a similar issue with 4.20.30. I would stick with 4.20.20, as that is verified as working.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] h121h:
Thanks for the reply roninld. I did not know there was an issue with 4.20.30, guess I will go back and downgrade.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Vancelot:
Where can I get the 4.20.20 version? I don't see an option to download previous versions on their website.

I am currently running version 4.10.40
[Mogul, XV6800 General] h121h:
Version 4.20.20 can be downloaded here: http://www.gpsinformation.org/perry/gps10/GarminMobileXTforWindowsMobile_42020w.exe
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Coolpics:
I've been using "GPS Intermediate Driver" since start using Garmin Mobile XT. When upgraded to 4.20.40, it tried to hook up with COM4, but very slow. I went back directly to the Intermediate Driver.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] h121h:
I've thought about trying that and seeing how that works out. What's the difference between Intermediate Driver and the actual GPS on COM4. I wonder if there is any accuracy difference?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Cycomachead:
4.20.50w is now out from Garmin. I'm going to download it to my phone soon. I haven't has problems with Mobile XT. .3 and /4 have been fine with me.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] IIIMik3:
hey guys, quick question. Garmin works well on my mogul, but i realized it's using the "intermediate driver" My main questions are: What exactly does that mean, and is it a bad thing?

I've tried setting it to use com4, but it searches and i guess automatically sets itself to intermediate. I'm running 4.20.50 btw
[Mogul, XV6800 General] roninld:
At least for me, it seemed like whenever I went to the Intermediate Driver, my time would reset back to a previous time date. That was one of the main problems with any version above 4.20.20wp that I ran into.

Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 General] IIIMik3:
Oh well actually i was just looking to find out what it means to be using the intermediate driver, as opposed to com4 and whether or not it's a bad thing.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kevyli85:
I had the same problem and went back to 4.20.20wp. I'm hoping a new version will fix this.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] IIIMik3:
I think i've deduced that it only screws up the clock if it isn't able to get a sat lock and then you exit. Otherwise it works fine for me, as long as it gets a sat lock, even using the intermediate driver.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Vancelot:
I've come to the same conclusion.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] NuShrike:
.50w runs faster than the previous versions (screen response, route calculation, etc) I've noticed, and much more stable than .30w or .40w.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kiwidoc:
Seems to me tho that 0.50w will always go for the intermediate driver, and hence the time reset. 0.20w the serial com4 setting stays 'sticky' so no problem with reset time even if a lock not found.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] sarcoptic:
I am having a problem with Mobile XT not closing the GPS connection correctly when you exit the application. If I shut my phone off/on and run mobile XT the program runs great with no issues. GPS is flawless on com4. When I exit the application there is no errors however if I try to restart the GPS never works again. Also the GPS will cease to function in other apps such as Google Maps. A soft-reset does not fix the issue either. I have to actually shut the phone off/on to gain use of the GPS again...any thoughts? Running DCD 3.2.6 and radio 3.42.50
[Mogul, XV6800 General] nitro66215:
Ok... This is the first time I've tried Garmin Mobile XT. I want to know what the hype's about. What am I missing to get this to work? I downloaded and installed verzion .50.. but without a "Registration code" It won't let me connect to anything but a Garmin device.

I currently use TomTom 7
[Mogul, XV6800 General] sarcoptic:
Hehe well you need to install the app then turn around and grab city navigator to put maps on it. There are "sites" around that provide what you need. As to my issue I think I narrowed it down to when I actually lock the phone with windows mobile. If I do not lock it things appear to work fine...

Now why use garmin XT over the others. Only reason is NAVTEQ. Navteq maps are by far better compared to the crap TeleAtlas has. Living in Iowa, I think TeleAtlas forgot we were a state whereas Navteq at least gives a damn heh.

iGo8, Tomtom = teleatlas

Garmin XT = navteq
[Mogul, XV6800 General] nitro66215:
Gotcha. Ok.. I got it to allow me to see the GPS... now I just need the maps. I'm trying to get them off of my C330 using gpsdaemon. just not having any luck
