[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] DECloyd:
We have a new G5 Plus (running stock Nougat) that is prompting for the OTA update to Oreo.

Question: Will the bootloader be unlockable after the update to Oreo?

I intend to unlock the bootloader, but sometimes the ability to unlock it is blocked after an update like this. Sometimes, unlocking the BL before an update blocks the update.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] riyan65:
You can unlock the bootloader in oreo also.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] DECloyd:
Great! Thanks!

BTW, in your opinion, do you think that the G5 Plus will get updates past Oreo?

That might seem like an unrelated question, but I'm looking at the idea of adding some audio mods that require root and don't mind waiting until the official updates have settled down. Then I'll unlock, root, etc.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Axecaster:
Only via flashed custom ROMs will system software past Oreo exist on the G5 Plus. G series phones get slated for one major system update.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] debdeep98:
It would be better if you atleast get the unlock code while on nougat. There are issue in Oreo. Some people were having issues where the unlock data provided by the phone was said to be incomplete when pasti g it on Moto's site in order to get the unlock code.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] DECloyd:
Thanks! I will do that. :)
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] DECloyd:
It is done. Thank you!

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
The title pretty much describe the whole issue: I get a persistent notification that there's an OTA update to install, but touching the notification does nothing.

There seem to be no way of manually installing it either, because there is no update option listed in the configuration.

Can't unlock the bootloader either, because there is no OEM unlock listed in the dev tools.

I've never seen anything like this. Spent days researching, but found nothing. So here I'm hoping someone might have a clue about how to enable updates and OEM unlock in a situation like this.

Any help is appreciated.

This phone is a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite model M1805D1SG, running Android 8.1 (OPM 1.171019.019.V9.6.6.0ODLMIFF)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] eremitein:
you system is clean or modified (magisk etc)?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] thorin0815:
How should he modify or root it with a locked bootloader?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] merlin.berlin:
for unlocking the bootloader you have to use ADB tools. you can't just unlock it in developer setting.

for your problem i would recommend you too check the forums on how to unlock the bootloader with adb and then grab the latest official A2 lite rom (10.0.40. or something i guess) and flash it with the MiFlashTool.

this procedure will upgrade your device without any loss of data.

I'm telling you this because that's how i update my device (which is rooted and kernel modified) with no problems.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] eremitein:
maybe early somebody did this with his phone:laugh:

so need to more checking
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
It is clean.Brand new device, unable to do anything, as it is OEM locked.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
True. We usually need to run 'fastboot oem unlock' to actually unlock the bootloader. Problem is, the command needs one to enable OEM unlocking in the developer options beforehand, otherwise it fails. And I dont have any means to enable OEM unlocking in the dev options, because it is not listed at all!

And without that I'm unable of doing any flashing.

The only report I found regarding a missing an OEM unlock option in the dev tools concern Samsung S9. Apparently one needs to wait 7 days for it to appear. But such a thing is unheard of concerning a Xiaomi phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
I have been researching this for days, couldn't find anything... Didn't find a single report about OEM unlock not showing up in Developer options for Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, at all.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] capajga:
Could you post a screenshot of your System menu under settings?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
I wonder if there's a way to enable it through command line, in a local shell (inside android)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] capajga:
Strange :confused:

I'm on 9.6.11.0 version and it's there. You're on 9.6.6.0 version. Maybe there's someone who had experience with 9.6.6.0 and OEM unlocking but if not there's always the option to do an OTA update to a newer firmware version.

Just don't update to a 10.x.x.x version (Pie) if you want to keep Oreo ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
Can't do an OTA update either. Check closely: along with OEM unlock, there is no system update option.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
I have posted them in posts previous to this one. Please take a look.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] capajga:
Yeah, saw it the second time i looked :confused:

Do you have the search settings option when you first get to settings? Should be right on top.

If you do, can you try typing oem in the search and see if there's anything listed?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
That's how my device should look like :(
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
Oh, it does appear on search. But tapping the results only take to those screens, where they can't be found.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] eremitein:
as I said you are not on clean stock firmware

first, the Genom kernel. this is not a native xiaomi kernel

second, the root option in the menu. you have custom firmware or gsi rom. and maybe you phone is reflashed Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro

where did you buy this phone?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] capajga:
Could you try going to settings - system - about phone - and tapping te build number entry 7 times again and see if anything changes?

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

Thats indeed a possibility. It would also mean that the bootloader is already unlocked so it would be best to use Miflash and revert back to stock, of course if you really wan't to ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] hossman:
Guessing you bought this from [MENTION=9436469]d1ngh[/MENTION] ....

https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2-lite/development/official-twrp-daisy-t3855396

Your phone is not stock, please share where you purchased.

You should at very least flash stock firmware with miflash
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
Over the internet... Unfortunately they are not available where I live directly. Hm.

Any way to flash the stock image on these conditions?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
I bought from here, exactly: https://produto.mercadolivre.com.br...lite-promoco-4gb-64gb-pelicula-vidro-capa-_JM

Xiaomi phones aren't officially sold in Brazil, so we get them from importers. First time ever I had an issue!

Well, will try miflash and report back.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] eremitein:
if this device really "daisy" mi a2 lite, then flash stock with miflash in edl mode. that way not matter unlocked bootloader or no

if you device is "sakura" then you need another fw. but miflash are the same. and looking in another xda thread
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
Yep, miflash complains of device and image mismatch, and a fastboot getvar all returns that it is Sakura, even though bootloader version is msm8953-daisy, and a IMEI lookup at Xiaomi website confirms this to be a Mi A2 Lite. Crazy stuff.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] eremitein:
looks like daisy reflashed to sakura. brrr...

i think owner tried install custom rom for sakura on daisy. and got sucks, lol
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
Well, tried flashing the stock MIUI roms for Sakura yesterday, the Indian and the Chinese. The Indian didn't work, but the Chinese did! Picked up my sim cards and all. And I am confused, because a daisy device should not work with Sakura MIUI... Or should it?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] eremitein:
after all that magic i don't sure :laugh:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
Part of me wants to force flash a daisy image to this one (changing the device verification code included in the flash script used by miflash), but the other part is dead scary of bricking it badly... I have no idea what is this phone! :eek:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
Man.. an Android phone devoid of any Google-ness sure is weird. It feels like something else other than Android. Thank goodness I managed to install some stuff through apk
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BJumperBR:
Is this your first Xiaomi device?

It looks like someone installed MIUI ROM on your device and decided to sell it after not being able to flash stock rom back.

Can't you return the phone or open a complaint on ML?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] L0nelyE4rth:
He seems like to get a Sakura not Daisy. I think owner reflash Sakura to be daisy for reasons.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BJumperBR:
From what I read on the other posts, it seems like the previous owner (he bought on eBay-like brazilian website) installed MIUI ROM and non-stock kernel (Genom AOSP) on his daisy device and sold it after not being able to flash stock rom back.

I could be wrong...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
Not my first xiaomi phone, but the first I have this sort of issue...

And as per ML rules, I can't return it, as it is not sealed in the box, without use. I'd need to file a suit to return.

My big confusion is this: Xiaomi says this is a Mi A2 Lite (IMEI lookup)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
How to explain this?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] L0nelyE4rth:
I can't explain this :v, but can you try to check A/B partition please ?

If it's A/B, that's Daisy. If not, it's Sakura. I know MIUI doesn't get B partition.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nquil:
Well, I can say on top of my head it had a recovery dedicated partition before (accessed though power + vol up) which is typical of A-only devices. But now it has MIUI it doesn't. I am not sure partitions are a too fixed criteria to follow by...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Menin.Russo:
I have this same problem. were you able to flashing with which ROM, where you download from? so It already had an unlocked bootloader?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BJumperBR:
Take a look at this post on miui.com:

http://en.miui.com/thread-5795706-1-1.html

It looks like the same problem you have.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] siegelc:
I also have the same problem.

Daisy device brand new in plastic sealed box, IMEI confirmed on Mi site, can't install update and no option in menus to install update or unlock OEM.

I think based on kernel and API settings, plus bootloader unlocked, it indicates this device has been tampered with. Can anyone confirm?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] boe323:
search through your apps in settings apps, show system apps, clear data and cache for settings, settings storage, sytemui, and reboot, you will have to to tap build number again. If its custom software,those options will be missing, but this is method for a stock phone. Also, there should be adb commands to toggle oem enable/disable.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] rob420p:
Any things possible but that would be shocking
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Obdoral:
Something to be done? Bought from ML too
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] fedehf:
I'm having the exact same problem. I bought it brand new sealed box in Argentina. The phone works ok and looks legit but I dont have the oem option to flash it and update option isnt available neither.

Did you find a solution??

As I can see your phone somehow has root access in the developer options which means your phone firmware has been changed and it's not an official build, that's why u also don't have an update option in your system settings.

That means your phone bootloader has been unlocked before and tinkered.

Go to adb and try to do this command (when you are in fastboot mode) : fastboot oem unlock

But make sure to backup your stuff first.

Hope it works for you BTW don't buy phones from not official vendor.
[Touch CDMA General] dh010447:
Hey guys...

Been a while since I have been on here. Moved continents and I am thinking about replacing my trusty T-Mobile UK Vario with a Sprint Touch.

So - a couple of questions...

From looking at this forum, I guess I am correct in assuming that the Vogue is the Sprint flavour of the HTC Touch? I know sprint uses a different technology to GSM and I know the sprint version does not come with WiFi - but are there any other differences between the two varients?

Also - I have seen some GPS discussions here... Does this come with build in GPS that will work with TomTom?

How is the stock sprint ROM? I am guessing that there isn't much choice in ROMS available as there isnt as many networks using the CDMA version.

Finally, don't suppose there are any kind generous sprint associates out there willing to let me use their email address so I can sign up for the sero package is there? I would be very greatfull :)
[Touch CDMA General] EliteXen:
Two completely different devices the names are just similar.

Sprint Touch = Telus Touch = Verizon VX6900 = P3050 = (a few others I can't remember) = HTC Vogue: 400mhz cpu (qualcomm 7500) - 128mb ram - 256 mb rom - CDMA Rev A - GPS - Bluetooth - NO WIFI

HTC Touch = GSM Touch = P3450 = HTC Elf: 200mhz cpu (OMAP 850) - 128mb ram - 64mb rom - GSM w/ Edge - Bluetooth - G Wifi - NO GPS

Yes it has a working gps radio which does work with TomTom, Google Maps, Live Search, iGuidance, etc. however you will have to upgrade the radio rom yourself, it is still disabled on the stock Sprint rom.

Stock rom is alright as long as you reset it when you first get it and stop Sprint's customizations from getting installed (though there are a lot of custom roms out there if you just look). I did just install jakdillard's 6.1 pro rom when I upgraded my radio for gps last week.

[Touch CDMA General] Deepeyes:
lol I just bought the sprint touch on 5/2/08 and the whole time I thought it was the elf with a 200mhz processor! I had actually installed batterystatus and it was running at 300mhz lol
[Touch CDMA General] dh010447:
Thanks for that info - sounds like the Sprint version is better than the GSM version - other than the lack of Wi-Fi.

I have read that that sprintemi address doesn't work anymore...

I understand this isn't specifically a retroarch or emulator subsection of the forum but this has more activity. I have an unrooted lg thinq v35 and I have both retroarch standard and retroarch 64 versions for my Android phone. My problem is that I set the save file directory to save .srm files on to my external micro sd card but the problem is that after I save a game and close content and start it back up, it doesn't create a save file on to the external micro SD card of my phone. It creates a save file only on the internal storage of my phone but not on my external storage. How do I fix this?

The ethernet adapter I got doesn't seem to work. It has ethernet plus power but the tablet doesn't recognise it even though the status lights on the adapter flash when plugged in... It works on my Galaxy S10e phone so must be a software thing perhaps?
