[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tech_Expert:
Hi There Everyone!​

First a brief: I've been a longtime XDA user, but never found the need to create an account. Now, I bought a Redmi 6 and I'm really disappointed by the development:crying:, so I thought i'd chip in a bit :) I don't have permission yet, so I posted this here.

As you know, till now there are NO Custom ROM's available. This is really sad, and I can't live with MIUI. So I decided to give GSI (Generic System Image) ROM's a try.

And guess what? They work! I tried installing Lineage OS 15.1 on our cereus. The rom is really fast and smooth. Here's what I found:

Working:

Wifi

Bt

Camera

Vibration

Sound

Finger Print

Bugs:

SIM detected, but no range found. RIP calls/sms/data. Looks like a problem with the raido's.

Headphones don't work

I couldn't test hotspot and gps.

Even though there is a bad bug, it still works surprisingly on this MediaTek SoC with no drivers / kernels. All we need is a little paching and we should be good to go!

Give it a try. Ill post guide on how to do this later. For now, i'm using miui cuz i wanna make phone calls ;)

Yes, we know. We tested this long time ago, there are pretty long discussions in twrp thread comments
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] hiitsrudd:
What about finger print reader?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tech_Expert:
I know, and I've read through all that. They are all buried inside TWRP threads, and not everyone knows about GSI. I made this so people know, and I'm also going to make an other thread with instructions on how to flash a GSI rom for our Redmi 6 soon (It's a little tricky getting TWRp to work and all...) :)
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tech_Expert:
It works! Sorry, I forgot to mention that - added it now :good: Btw, even though it works, it isn't as accurate and as fast as MIUI.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] TanRayCz:
I meant to say good job about putting this all together. Nice.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] TanRayCz:
I just randomly remembered when i was trying this ROM some time ago. Headphones doesn't work.

(Adding this to post would be ideal)

Edit: It could also be the Pixel Experience ROM. But i don't remember.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tech_Expert:
Thanks! I tried LOS again, and I can confirm that headphones don't work. Added that to the post:good: Btw, do you know any GSI ROMs for Cereus that can actually make calls and work well?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] TanRayCz:
All i tried was LOS and Pixel Eperience. Both are same, except PE has Android 9.0. I tried treble RR, it had really cool logo while booting, and i was really excited for RR because i never tried it. But i never made it to boot. Boot logo is looping infinitely and i tried fresh installing (With MiFlash clear) about 10 times.

Edit: Maybe if you would want to, you can give it a try https://xdaforums.com/project-trebl...0-resurrection-remix-v7-0-arm64-32-b-t3891636

Edit: I didn't understand most of it, but i could start adb logcat while booting. From all i could understand, all apps were dying and restarting all over.

[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] TanRayCz:
That's nice and all, but more info would be cool. SIM works?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lupus@dei:
Yep, only USSD is broken by default. See 11) on screenshot.

Calls/sms works out of box.

Don't know about volte since my carrier doesn't support it.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] JosifBoga666:
Speaking of, what does append persist.sys.radio.ussd.fix=true to /system/build.prop mean?

Sorry if it's something widely know im kind of a noob.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lupus@dei:
Seems that mtk ussd fix breaks something on other phones. So, this is flag to enable it.

------

Ahh, you mean how to append?

Open /system/build.prop file with text editor that has root access, add line to end, save file, reboot.

Or you can do this via adb/terminal emulator:

1) su

2) echo persist.sys.radio.ussd.fix=true >> /system/build.prop
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] JosifBoga666:
But this doesn't fix ussd right?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lupus@dei:
I haven't tested this, but why do you think so?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] JosifBoga666:
Since you said ussd is broken by default i thought that that wouldn't fix it.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lupus@dei:
By default — right after installing, without adding this line.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] JosifBoga666:
Oh my bad. By the way I'm going to install this rom and I'll see if that line fixes ussd. Then we'll have a probably fully functional rom for the redmi 6. ****ing finally. It's about time.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] TanRayCz:
It doesn't work for me. Same as every single other GSI rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] lhughes:
Hi Guys

I used Odin to reflash my Galaxy S10+ dual sim (duos) as it was experiencing some slowness. I used the Singapore firmware as it uses the same "G975FXXU1ASBA" model name.

The process completed successfully but when the phone boots, it gets past the Samsung logo screen and then gets stuck on a blank black screen with "Starting Android..." showing in the middle. I can swipe down from the top to show the toolbar, but it is limited in what I can select from it and the phone doesn't get to the point where the home screen boots.

I'm guessing this could be an app optimization process but after 4 hours, it was still on this screen.

I've tried re-flashing (redownloading the firmware files), clearing the cache and rebooting the phone.

Does anyone have any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] corwin_amber:
In case you do want to start clean anyway, have you tried doing a reset in the recovery menu (where you are wiping the cache)? This will wipe all data.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] lhughes:
I may have to try the full wipe, which is something I wanted to avoid but seems I have no choice.

Hopefully that at least solves the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] The tangled mind:
I have the same problem but I cannot get it to boot into recovery or download mode. I was flashing Magisk at the time. Odin said it worked but now it wont pass the initial stating android... Odin detects the phone but can talk to it. ADB does not even detect the phone. Phone power and reset come on. if i hold both volume the assistant comes on and if i hold bixby the safemode tag appears in the bottom corner but it still wont boot past Starting Android or boot into download mode

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Darkat70:
How do you flash cust & preload files only?

I can't remember how it's done and can't find the original thread it was in.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Darkat70:
Found how to do it. Put files into dload folder use Power Vol Up & Down.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] ubersapian:
If internal dload folder doesn't do it then dump them in dload folder on an SD card .. and normally the SD method only works with SD specific cust/preload zips

If you are looking for the Optus (C34) files I still might have a copy somewhere ?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Darkat70:
Optus released 212 but I dloaded 198 2 weeks ago, GPay and everything works but I got CTS Fail, I tried using the file I have which installed but when I rebooted it gave me the small 198 update I got on Friday again, which I guess was my update instead of 212. Don't understand how optus had a smal 198 update to push. I was kind of hoping it might fix CTS Fail but it doesn't.

I don't know what is happening but erecovery now fails getting update package too. I would have thought it would point to 212.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] ubersapian:
I've got a feeling the erecovery image files are flashed to phone when an OTA or hisuite restore is performed ... Something I can test out over next few days to confirm as flashing erecovery secure kernel / ramdisk recovery doesn't require root access..

Or do you have an SD tagged image of 212 you can flash yourself and then flash the cust/preload C34 files so your firmware matches up with the oeminfo of phone.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Darkat70:
I've only got 212 full update for hstool method, which won't work because it keeps saying my phone doesn't support recovery. ?

Hello,

I have a WS003SH WM5 phone and I'm wondering if it's possible to upgrade to WM6/6.1 Japanese edition. If I were to fail in the process I think I would have to hard reset the device, but I'm not even sure what a hard reset requires. Til this day I still have not had the chance to use a WM6 device so I'm also wondering if people feel it's worth upgrading to. Any information at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your time and help!

MIUI is full of useless apps that you may not use, and you can't uninstall all that bloatware. I want to share this awesome guide from reddit to debloat MIUI without root. You don't even need an unlocked bootloader.

I've tried it on my Redmi 6, and it worked great. You'll need to use a tool that works using adb. Kudos to the dev who made it:)

Since I'm a new user, I can't post links but just google "MIUI Debloat Reddit" and you'll find it.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] a1shakes:
Have you noticed that your phone does not last as long after an os update or just out of the blue? I've faced this issue countless times while changing roms, os versions or even between minor OS updates. After spending a good amount of time researching about possible causes for overnight standby battery drains, partial wakelocks seem to be one of the biggest offenders. The android developer website is a good resource to understand what partial wakelocks are. And as it turns out, you can figure out the app holding the partial wakelock and draining your precious battery without root or any changes to the bootloader/rom. Here we go:

Go to settings > battery and performance (poco f1 on miui) -> power usage ->Tap on the clock on the top right corner -> check if the awake field below the graph is a constant blue line. Or if the device has been awake a lot more than the time screen was on. Other roms also have this graphical view of battery stats under some other option. If the indicators for awake time aon matchre in sync, then this guide won't be able to help you any further. Otherwise move to step 2.

Install better battery stats xda edition from here. Follow the steps mentioned in this post for unrooted devices.

Open the better battery stats app on your phone and make sure the device is not charging. Lock your phone and let it sit for a few minutes.

Open the better battery stats app on your phone and check the CPU state view in dropdown at the top of the app. If percentage of deep sleep is lower than other states and you have not been using your phone a lot since it was last unplugged then the battery drain is real.

Next select the partial wakelock from the dropdown. If an app has a 100% time for wakelock ( duration unplugged = duration of wakelock ), then the app is the culprit. Either uninstall the app, or make sure the app does not have permissions to run in the background to avoid the battery drain.

I used the above steps to find out that MyAirtel app was holding a partial wakelock on PowerManager.wakelock all the time (even when it was not in background). Deleting the app fixed my battery drain which went from 10% per 8 hours to ~3% per 8 hours.

Hope this helps people resolve their battery drain issues.

Check battery health if no partial wakelocks are found

Check how many cycles of battery charges have happened. Battery is bound to degrade over time. You can follow this article to see how is your battery health.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] lukesan:
Another way to do this using a USB charging monitor. To measure is to know but know what you measure!

A lot of mistakes I have seen on the internet is people checking the capacity the following way. They use the mAh that went into the phone. That is completely wrong since a batteries capacity in mAh is defined at the working voltage of the battery (3.7 or 3.8V) and not using the around 5V that the charger outputs. At QC voltages it will be even lower then!

The more correct way to measure a battery is to work in mWh (milli Watt hour) or the actual power going into the battery. With 'The more correct way' you must take into account that the charging circuit also takes a bit of the juice.

So in our case 3.8V and 4000mAh would result in 15.200mWh. So from 0 to 100% should result in around that value.

At this right moment I am checking mine after a year of use using the UM25C tester.

To be honest I am not really happy about the battery life since it drains about 2 to 3% per hour even during the nighttime on a Xiaomi.eu rom which even reinstalled from scratch to check if it helped.

My redmi note 5 pro is now on , and I bloody kid you not, 34% 6d 2h 3m, yes that is 6 days after I installed a clean rom. And yes, not really much use but still wifi active and a active sim card.

Misguided try, but I am sure you did learn a few things in the process! :D

2016 & 2017 HD8 versions are so similar, that there is absolutely no reason to try to swap. It would still be possible though if the 2016 bootloader was properly unlocked, like it is on Fire HD8 2018. For now, 2016 refused to boot 2017 OS because the /boot signature is different. If you are interested in supporting unlocking efforts for 2016, head over here:

https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/general/bl-unlock-twrp-hd-10-7th-gen-2017-t3904037

A more interesting question may be using 2017 firmware for the 2018 version. I feel the old Lollipop is quite a bit snappier than Nougat on HD8 2018, so downgrading may gain some performance. Unlocking 2016/2017 may enable them to use the 2018 Nougat ROM, but after some repartitioning since the 2018 /system size is quite a bit bigger.
