I found a megathread under Android customization, grabbed the zip for the animation I wanted, rebooted to recovery, setenforce 0 via adb, renamed the old /system/media/bootanimation.zip to old.zip just in case, then pushed the new bootanimation zip to /system/media as bootanimation.zip and rebooted.
[Blade General] evtoofly:
tried it ,but still stck with metro boot
[Blade General] JasonSec:
As far as I know that's simply not possible, the "metro boot" is in that bootanimation.zip if you replace it with another file it either doesn't play at all (incompatible, wrong resolution, corrupt, etc.) or it plays the animation you have placed there.

That's like saying I have a red jpg, replaced it with a blue jpg, and it's still red. :p
[Blade General] evtoofly:
yeah its crazy, custom boots only work for me if I quick restart my phone, doesnt work with a full restart idk why
[Blade General] gaoqi7:
I am so unlucky, right now in DFU mode. and I format the internal storage already , what should I do now?
[Blade General] evtoofly:
while in dfu mode, use the edl tool to flash the patched boot and recovery, then use that to launch twrp and everything should be easy from there.
[Blade General] xxMoon:
I dont think you can flash from dfu mode.

I think OP has to switch their phone from DFU to edl using the zte tool.

This is the tool

ZTE Tool

Part of this video will show you what you need to do. From 0m0s - 2m12s

After that OP should be able to flash using the EDL Flasher tool from the first post.

Can someone please help some how or another I got put in soft brick (Sahara mode)
[Blade General] BlazeMz3:
Sooo, we will get the fix for the encryption so we dont have to use setenforce 0 everytime ?

"It just adds a space of the encryptabl=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cryptkey part of the fstab which disables it."

first of all, THANKS for your contribution to this... literally you don't know how long I've been waiting for root! :D

okay I have tried your ztecfg it worked!

but with the latest boot.img i get stuck at flash screen

I don't know if it's because your on different firmware or something else...

Also Wifi is broke!

Also do you have the original z982 firmware? It gives me spares header magic byte missing error... seems like a wrong type of header

if someone could pull qfil backup

I tried the one's posted earlier but failed..

BTW For those who are stuck in DFU MODE!!

@OP

You sir are a genius! A few bumps in the road but overall success! Thank you so much!
[Blade General] xxMoon:
The only os Ive been able to test the tool on is Win7 x64. Try that.

Maybe it is a firmware issue. I'm using straight b20. Heres the link, should have all the files to do a complete flash with the zte edl flasher

My family, friends and I do not have access to a Win 7 computer. But thank you
[Blade General] JasonSec:
Any particular reason you haven't updated to b25? Froze a couple of times during setup but other than that it seems fine
[Blade General] xxMoon:
I look at it this way, if its not broke, dont update. :p
[Blade General] BlazeMz3:
RW on System Working flawlessly!!!!! :D :D :D

Still have to do Setenforce 0 while on TWRP

Firmware B25 | Magisk 18.1 | Windows 10 64bit
[Blade General] evtoofly:
what did you do to check that RW was working, with me, my root explorer sometimes keeps freezing my phone whenever I try doing an RW action
[Blade General] BlazeMz3:
move and app to /system using Lucky Patcher (the very first thing I tryed on the first release when it was not working xD)

-before (Error)

-now (Success!)
[Blade General] JasonSec:
Interesting so I flashed the modified zteconfig but it appears system is still mounted RO

Any ideas [MENTION=8803014]xxMoon[/MENTION]?
[Blade General] prosown:
Anyone know how to get b20 installed? i tried adb sideload it dont work
[Blade General] prosown:
Same here flashed b25 on twrp and followed the root steps and installed magisk manager because it wasn't there and same results as u any solutions? no system r/w
[Blade General] xxMoon:
I'm gonna need you to dump your ztecfg file and send it to me.

Connect your phone to your pc and run:

adb shell

su

setenforce 0

dd if=/dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/ztecfg of=/sdcard/ztecfg.file

It should dump ztecfg.file to you internal storage despite the command saying sdcard.
[Blade General] prosown:
doesnt work even though i allowed permissions for usb debugging.

1|crocus:/ $ su

Permission denied
[Blade General] prosown:
How do u downgrade to b20 with the zip I wanna test out r/w
[Blade General] evtoofly:
just adb push the system img, the stock boot and stock recovery, flash them all but stay in twrp. Reflash the patched boot and recovery and config file after that and then boot into system and voila.

Warning: If it doesn't let you push the system.img, you may have to format your data because that's what I had to do, so I advise that you make some backup if needed
[Blade General] prosown:
Just tried flashing the 3 files i get stuck at the zte logo but i had to factory reset and go back to b25. Idk how to fix it..
[Blade General] evtoofly:
Did you flash the system, stock boot,and stock recovery img from the b20 firmware before flashing the patched boot and recovery from the EDL tool? Without rebooting back to system, it is important that you stay in twrp after you flash the stock b20 firmware. From there, once you flash the patch files, it should work fine. So in total, you should be flashing 6 files before rebooting back into system. The first 3 are the stock files for b20, and the next 3 are the patched boot, recovery, and zteconfig file(To flash the config file, open up adb while in twrp and type adb reboot edl. from here open the edltool, flash the config file, and then boot back to twrp. Its better to boot into system from twrp) And another thing. Did you factory reset or format data? I personally formatted data. I then mounted my partitions using adb shell and setenforce 0. After that, the rest was cake of just pushing the files over and flashing it. I dont know how effective a factory reset is, so try formatting data this time if you havent.
[Blade General] prosown:
Yep worked, When i got into the phone after setting it up there was no magisk manager so i installed a apk and it still doesn't have r/w on my end just says ro after i type mount im on b20.
[Blade General] evtoofly:
glad it worked but thats weird. what command did u type to check that?
[Blade General] prosown:
typed mount in terminal and checked system it says ro instead of rw

i gave up i bought a s5 and im gonna root it...
[Blade General] evtoofly:
I just realized my system is still r/o as well. Damn
[Blade General] JasonSec:
Attached, appreciate the help. Could you explain a bit what flashing this file does exactly? does it work by replacing offsets?
[Blade General] evtoofly:
Even with b20 installled, I flash the file but /system still reads as read only. Do you know why ? Any way to fix it?
[Blade General] xxMoon:
It nops out the value for emmcwp. Not sure if it does anything.

There is a line for boot slots. They tell android which mode to boot into. I just changed it to select recovery slot and boot android system.

Recovery has system rw access. So it normal boots with the recovery slot settings.

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

Update

Right now I'm working on a full firmware flash for this phone. That way everyone will have identical firmware as to what I'm using. I still have a few things to hash out in recovery so, I'm thinking mid next week it should be ready. 4/10 ish +-

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Early leaked information mentioned "Xiaomi claims sound has also been improved with 'industry's best linear speaker', equivalent to 0.9cc large speaker box with deeper bass, Smart PA uses dynamic gain to amplify sound by 100%".

Has there been any real life reviews of the speaker quality as of yet?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] NisseGurra:
https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_9-review-1891p3.php

"Loudspeaker

A lot of things have changed since the Mi 8, but the loudspeaker is not one of them. We were disappointed to find out that the Mi 9 doesn't boast stereo speakers. Instead, it has the same bottom-firing loudspeaker as the Mi 8 and it even scored the same Very Good mark at our loudness test."

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Very conflicted on this, on one hand Xiaomi seem to be confident that the Mi 9's speaker has improved & have advertised it like shown on the article yet the GSMArena review claims the speaker is basically identical to the Mi 8, keen to see what other reviewers say
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Yeah I'm the exact same. I was getting myself psyched for some next level improvements to the speaker with the bass claims etc but indeed really hope this is the case!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
I'm the exact same...
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] cd993:
Yeah I am.

Currently got the Pixel 2 XL and whilst I'm sure the speakers won't be anywhere near as good as these stereo ones, I'm very curious about "Xiaomi claims sound has also been improved with 'industry's best linear speaker', equivalent to 0.9cc large speaker box with deeper bass, Smart PA uses dynamic gain to amplify sound by 100%"
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] AgungID43:
Bring back the glory of stereo speaker just like Mi6 then?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
I've personally had my eyes on the Mi 9 for a while since the first set of leaks came out, as the leaks got more & more specific & started to list the camera specifications I noticed immediately the lack of OIS & assumed it was just left off there accidentally, then when it was announced yesterday it was confirmed not to have OIS, admittedly at first it did put me off slightly as not having such a feature on a 2019 flagship seemed ridiculous to me, now however I'm not sure & will wait till the event on the 24th, let me know what you guys think & if it's important to you.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] klanac8901:
Without OIS you get bad pics at night. Video is okay with EIS but without OIS, you can't fix that.

When I pay over 400€, OIS is a must have.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] D1G1TE:
With OIS you can only get better pictures of static scene at night or lower light. Does not apply to kids, pets or any moving objects that get blured out thanks to slower shutter speed compared to sensors without OIS that must use faster shutter speeds by design. For video OIS is useless. So it is understandable that OEMs like Xiaomi are cutting costs on OIS that you have very limited range of use. Basically only usecase today's is night static scene and that is not worth extra cost/devide thickness for aggressive priced devices like MI 9.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] _MartyMan_:
It doesn't really matter for me :D
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pingufanpoy:
Man that is so sad ois makes a flagship

They should have sacrificed a camera or 2 just for the ois
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jvs60:
For the price l'm not crying about OIS. If i want it that bad I'll pay the premium elsewhere.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ckarv:
It'll be interesting for sure to see how especially night photography will turn out with the Mi 9 vs the competition with OIS. Do we have a whitepaper somewhere that would show exactly how for example HDR+ (Google) works? Does it use a longer exposure for the shots, especially on Night Mode, or are the images that are stitched together taken with a relatively short exposure? (ie potentially possible even without OIS)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Advanced651:
[MENTION=7949382]D1G1TE[/MENTION] OIS useless in videos? Man, than I need to tell you, that EIS works only in 30fps modes, so you are left absolutely without any stabilization in video, my mi 8 will record better 60fps videos (of course as soon as it's get update for it :D )
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] *justintime*:
If OIS is compensated in the software section. Like they said in hands on. It doesn't bother me.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] *justintime*:
No it was mentioned in a hands on (can't remember which) that EIS was doing its thing.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pingufanpoy:
It has no ois yet its an extremely good camera?

??? What is going on here

Does it take decent night shots no blurry eis?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ToneLa:
The GSM Arena review has convinced me the camera will be superior for my needs.

I don't believe I've ever had a phone with OIS - it is tricky to miss what you don't have!

---------- Post added at 08:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

The GSM Arena review mentions it in the Video section

EIS is available for both cameras and all common resolutions (4K, 1080p and 720p), but it works only for the 30fps modes. The digital stabilization does a great job smoothing the camera shake at the expense of minor loss of FoV.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] *justintime*:
OK?? So no stabilisation at all 60fps? That kind of sucks.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NisseGurra:
https://www.gizchina.com/2019/02/17/mi-9-closed-loop-motor-explained/
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ckarv:
Is it possible to have OIS with a closed loop motor? Not sure I understood the article fully. Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
From how I read it, with the position sensor immediately informing the VCM to adjust, that means that OIS isn't necessarily needed, however whether it's possible is a different matter entirely I think
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] *justintime*:
I find it a strange story. If you compare those drawings it looks to me it's an enhanced OIS. Now with a positioning sensor.

Why didn't they market this aspect better...?? It wasn't been told in the presentation.

Yes it has OIS but better?

BTW. I hear the "closed loop motor" now for the first time.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Because it's inferior to OIS, basically the "closed loop motor" can focus faster & more accurate thanks to the positioning sensor, however in regards to stability OIS wins because it isn't fixed, you'll see quite a few Mi 9 owners complaining over blur in night shots, this is because when the persons had shakes there is no OIS to compensate.

Edit: I saw inferior because if you look at the Mix 3's focusing it was perfectly fine imo, we've lost OIS for something that wasn't necessarily "bad" in the first place.

This is how I think it works based on my own research, Xiaomi didn't really give us any information on it themselves, so if anyone more knowledgeable has more to add or correct, feel free
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ckarv:
I read somewhere that the fact Mi 9 is using a larger sensor, and because of this fitting OIS wasn't possible. Do you know of any phone with the Sony IMX586 sensor that has OIS? This doesn't explain why eg the telephoto sensor and lens doesn't have OIS though ?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
The Honor View 20 uses the IMX586 & that too doesn't have OIS it uses EIS & AIS. There is also another Xiaomi device, the Redmi Note 7 Pro, which has the IMX586 & again, there is no OIS, assuming they're the only devices that use the IMX586 then it's confirmed that there is no OIS possible with the IMX586
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Maybe in next few years, not now I don't think..

[General Questions and Answers] GuyInDogSuit:
One of the main games I want to finish is Dragon Quest III. I got really far into the game, but then my phone got stolen. Luckily I had a TB backup of a lot of my apps and games. Fast forward over a year and I've got the itch to finish the game, as well as a few others that only saved data locally on the device. However, I have no way to restore it to my current phone (a bootloader-locked Verizon Galaxy S8+ on Pie, which is unrootable). Is there a way I can restore or resume the game(s) on my current phone? I've tried Helium and DataSync, with no luck.
[General Questions and Answers] GuyInDogSuit:
Ended up trying BlueStacks, couldn't share files between host and guest OSes (no proxy for that between the two). BS Tweaker bypassed this limitation, but no matter what, USB debugging just couldn't be enabled, let alone a USB connection. Supposedly Andy has that capability, but despite everything I did, nothing showed up in the Shared folder in the file browsers. I ended up using the Google Drive feature in ES File Explorer to copy files between the two. But since Andy is almost exactly like an Android device (has the Settings and everything), developer mode was accessible, and USB debugging worked. After I installed all the needed apps and such, I was able to restore my TB backups, test them in-game, and back them up again using Helium, then restore on the phone. Took several hours, but in the end it was worth it.
