Is your bootloader (still) unlocked and do you have access to fastboot?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] FamosoFT:
Yes, bootloader's still unlocked and i have acces to fastboot.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] FamosoFT:
Thanks for your magic answer, but i can't find your toolkit, BUT i found this https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2-lite/development/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3866191. Is it good also ?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Veran125:
You can just get newest fastboot rom, and then flash with Miflash :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] FamosoFT:
If it was too simply ... I think i did that already, But fastboot room, what do you mean with that ?

I just want, now, to be sure, can i save my phone ? It's not dead ?

Cause it's a very good phone and i don't want to loose it, really.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Veran125:
Nope, it's not dead, even with locked bootloader it wouldn't be. But now that you've got an unlocked bootloader, it's very easy to restore :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] FamosoFT:
I'm more happy so, 5 hours ( no fake really ) i search a solution .... SO

-Tente isso:

Download this official rom: https://en.miui.com/download-354.html

Download this Mi Flash Tool: http://api.en.miui.com/url/MiFlashTool

*I'm assuming you already have the ADB drivers installed on your PC

*Remember to check the CLEAN ALL option

-If the above method does not work, do the following:

* It will only work if you do not have TWRP installed, if it is with twrp installed, I recommend reinstalling the original recovery *

1-Turn off the device and press (POWER BUTTON + VOLUME UP). At that point, the android doll will appear and spelled 'NO COMMAND'

2-Press only (POWER BUTTON) and click quickly (VOLUME UP BUTTON). In this screen you will see the recovery options, use the volume buttons to go to the WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET option, confirm with YES and restart the device.

3- Wait patiently for 3/5 minutes.

-If none of this works and you can still access twrp, I recommend you try installing a GSI rom using this method: https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-functional-twrp-magisk-pie-gsi-t3900119

I recommend this GSI rom (I'm using this now): https://get.resurrectionremix.com/?dir=gsi (choose 'arm64-ab')

This will give you a working system and make it easier to return to stock.

Hope one of these methods helped!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] FamosoFT:
Hi all,

The problem was my PC i had not the .bat files so it couldn't work ...

Thanks [MENTION=8344311]Bruno_Designer[/MENTION] for your message, but i hate RROS but you're solution was good ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] agbadino:
If u alredy used twrp den u have adb.

U need mi flash tool.

Download any one of the full fastboot roms for Mi A2 Lie below:

9.6.4.0: https://xiaomifirmware.com/download/10399/

9.6.10.0: https://xiaomifirmware.com/download/10867/

10.0.3: https://xiaomifirmware.com/download/11586/

So to revive ur fone, u do dis. Dis was how i did mine.

1. After downloading a rom of choice, u extract on ur pc using winrar, 7zip or izarc. U basically open the archive using any of these software n copy out the folder contained. The name usually starts with "daisy global ...."

2. U open the extracted rom folder. U will see a bunch of files including "flash_all.bat" etc and a folder called "images".

3. Click on the address bar of d rom folder and copy the address. Den open "mi flash tool" and paste d copied address in the mi flash tool address bar n click on refresh.

4. Boot ur phone to fastboot mode, using "power" & "volume down" buttons together.

connect d phone to ur pc via usb cable.

5. Open ur adb folder and open the adb command window.

Type in the following, one after the other n click enter:

" fastboot devices " dis to confirm the adb connection

" fastboot oem edl " dis to enter edl mode. Ur fone led starts blinking at 1sec intervals.

6. Back to mi flash tool, u click on "refresh". After a second ur fone should be seen as a COM port "COM 10"

7. At d bottom right, u shd find 3 options. Selct "clean all". This shd leave ur bootloader unlocked after the process.

8. U click on "flash" button at the top right. All things going well, within 10 mins the process shd be done and u will see "green" indicator with "success".

9. Hold ur fone n press d power botton for 10 secs. Then ur fone shd power up. Give ur fone exactly about 5 mins to come up "look at the clock & dnt assume"

Dis is an edit of others tutorials. But this is exactly how it worked for me. As long as u use any of the 3 roms i linked u.

Unless i use edl mode, it jus doesnt work for me.

Good luck. Leta know how it goes. And pls click thanks if i helped u.

I have Mix 2S and when I moving from China to Global ROM, my phone died when moving process not finished yet, and now my Mix 2S only show white blank on boot after MIUI boot animation shown up.

I already flash with Mi Flash (even using auth account) and various fastboot ROM (China and Global) but no luck, just white blank after MIUI boot animation.

Anyone could help me to solve this thing? :(
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] malimukk:
You have to keep your bootloader unlocked, but I guess you already do that..

Do you have access to mi recovery or fastboot? Perhaps you will need to do an edl flash? Your storage partitions might be damaged. Can you try to boot TWRP from fastboot and check the content of your phone?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] whitefox9000:
Thanks for replying, dude.

I already unlocking my bootloader.

I'm on OrangeFox Recovery now.

I already flashing fastboot ROM (via fastboot and EDL) and still got white blank.

What content do you mean, dude?

I don't have error on TWRP, no partition mounting error, and no error when flashing ROM (RevOS MIUI, LOS 16, AOSiP tested) but still, the white blank is coming down.

Yes it shows all my files from internal memory even from system

Does it always reboot? If you do a fastboot flash, does it still reboot?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Gaaat:
Hi, as said in title I'm trying to figure out why the stock camera app on my XZ Premium lacks of said shortcut into the mode selector even though Google lens app is installed, some users stated that in their devices is present so now I'm asking if someone that has the shortcut can post information like fw customization, camera version (and even apk if possible) and provide screenshots or solutions if they encountered the same problem. Currently I've installed fw 47.2.a.10.28 customized IT, rooted with bootloader unlock hide patched kernel from j4nn, camera version is 2.2.1.a.0.10. Tried to factory reset multiple times but it did not work. Any help is highly appreciated!

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Gaaat:
I've decompiled my camera apk and found out that Google Lens is actually implemented (there are icons, XML files referring to it and apis) so it's not dependent on the version of the camera. Looking through the smali code I found a lot of methods linked to "Google Lens availability" and even constants indicating unavailability due to country software versions. Unfortunately I'm not experienced enough to find a way to bypass those checks so if someone with a lot of spare time and experience is interested in giving a look into this and can at least point me into the right direction it would be great

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] T-888:
I've been on the fence about upgrading to my main 2 XL (O 8.1) to Pie mainly to get Night Sight -- so appreciate hearing any main issues on Pie that haven't been addressed/patched yet.

Only stayed on 8.1 this long because it's been remarkably rock solid for me on everything. I've read the various Bluetooth, connectivity, battery life, and other issues reported for months after Pie was released. So I've been pretty lukewarm on Pie other than missing out on Night Sight.

It sounds like the BT "disable absolute volume" issue in Pie was fixed via an update just several months ago, so I'm assuming that eliminated one big problem. (I use this with a bunch of BT speakers and headsets so it was a dealbreaker until fixed.) Appreciate it if someone can confirm just to be sure. As much as I really want Night Sight, it's not worth losing battery life or reliable connectivity to get it -- those come first in my book. (I tried sideloading the earlier adapted camera apk with early Night Sight but it won't install on 8.1 -- I surmised it requires 9.0.)

Sure, I could wait for Q, but for my usage, I prefer updating to mature, stable releases whenever possible for my daily driver phone.

So how is Pie doing today on the Pixel 2 XL? Any remaining issues?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jayxiao171735:
Actually, I didn't face any issues except RAM management, I mean this is the same with Pixel3 series. To deal with this, I use ZRAM mechanism to solve, just flash a custom kernel and download EX kernel manager or some tweak tools and then enable and expand the ZRAM to 1024M. The battery life is amazing that SOT could reach 8 hrs as common sense. Night sight has been a default feature in the stock camera when you upgrade to the latest version, also, you can use custom Gcam if you like, which contains more new features such as long exposure, etc. Hope you can be happy with your device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Sentheb3ast:
Out of curiosity, what is this "disable absolute volume" feature that you speak of?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] T-888:
[Hmmm, just tried posting this from my phone browser and it didn't appear here. So, let me try this again -- might be a near-duplicate posting, but I added more here.]

Here's my perspective on "Disable Absolute Volume" (DAV), and why it's important:

It's buried under the "Developer options" under "System" settings in Oreo once you enable the Developer options. Essentially DAV gives you finer control over the volume steps for Bluetooth-connected audio devices. Think Bluetooth speakers, headphones, hands-free headsets, and your car.

For instance, without DAV enabled, the volume might jump up or down too much (sometimes drastically) or nowhere near enough with each press of your phone's volume keys. So it makes it really hard or sometimes impossible to find the sweet spot for volume control from your phone. IIRC, without DAV enabled, my music volume to my various BT speakers from my Pixel 2XL was far too low, with only the last couple of volume steps jumping it way up loud -- nothing moderate in the middle. And my BT speaker was sometimes in another room from the phone, so you can guess how frustrating that was.

With DAV enabled, you get more moderate/finer steps in volume from the phone, like we used to have in earlier Android versions. In other words, we have to turn off absolute volume control by enabling DAV to get back to where we were. I guess that's called progress these days. There were a small number of earlier reports that Pie 9.0 broke DAV, but seem to recall seeing just a few users say it was fixed via a monthly update in late 2018 (Dec?). So I'm looking for confirmation here. IIRC, Google wasn't even acknowledging it as an issue for months on their support forums.

I listen to so much music from my phone via BT (near-daily) and use a hands-free headset for calls, that as much as I REALLY want Night Sight for the camera, it's not worth it to me if I lose DAV or have additional wireless connectivity issues or other deal-breakers.

So that's why I posted my original query above. I'm wondering if it's worth upgrading to 9.0 now vs. holding pat with Oreo 8.1 (but no security updates sucks) vs. waiting for Q (and its bugs as a new release). The fact that Pie isn't getting a 9.1 update isn't comforting either. Sure, Google can push some updates via the monthly patches, but it tells me that they're putting their dev resources mainly into Q instead.

Hope this helps, and I'd appreciate any responses that could help me make a more informed decision either way -- as this is my main phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] T-888:
Thanks jayxiao171735. I'm not rooting or installing custom kernels, so this one is stock Android. Appreciate your other comments.

So are you saying that RAM management is worse on Pixel 2 XL with stock Pie just like the Pixel 3's issues in this regard (closing other apps more quickly, etc.)? I do stream music in the background a lot -- been hearing how a number of users have reported Spotify closing on the P3 when you do something else RAM-intensive like open the camera app. (I don't use that service, but guessing it'll be similar for other background streaming apps.)

I'm starting to wonder if I should just skip Pie and wait for Q since I've waited this long already. Do we keep the onscreen buttons as an option in Q? Not having tried the gestures in Pie, for the moment I really like having the buttons. As long as we keep them as an option either way, I'm good with that.

Other than missing out on Night Sight, pretty much everything has been rock solid on my Pixel 2 XL on 8.1. It's been hands-down the best phone I've owned to date. Snappy, reliable, great battery life, awesome camera even without NS, and no bloatware!

Got it as a free carrier warranty replacement for an older phone past its prime, so I'm not complaining at all. I'm just trying maximize my enjoyment. It's great as-is, but as an amateur photographer, I feel like I'm missing out on Night Sight on occasion. But it's not worth it to me to take on other more substantial issues, annoyances, etc. to get it. So that's why I'm trying to find out what's in store if I upgrade to Pie currently. Typically late OS releases

tend

to be the most stable and fixed, but not always.

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jayxiao171735:
First, I think keeping on Oero is not bad, Pie is pretty good, since I have used Oero version for a long time, I cannot say they are completely different. Although Pie has a better UI design and system animation, it doesn't interfere with your casual usage. Don't try Q now, it is far more stable and reliable, also I feel it is really laggy compared to Pie. As you said, stay on Oero might just miss the night sight camera feature, but you can still take brilliant pics on daytime. If you like to take pics of the night scene, Huawei P30 series might be more suitable for you. Apart from that, I didn't face any issue of RAM management on Oero like Pie. Overall, I do believe you can stay on Oero if you like. By the way, I like taking photos same as you, my INS is freman004, we can follow each other. Thanks.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
I have been facing an weird issue while using VPNs.

So, we all know miui is very aggressive on background apps. Hence we need to lock an app on the recents if we need to keep it running in the background. I notice the same when using VPN based adblockers like Adguard or Blokada. If I remove the app from recents, it gets disconnected.

Now comes the strange part. When I use real VPNs such as ExpressVPN, Proton VPN etc., They still work perfectly even after removing them from recents. I have never faced VPN disconnection issue when using a real VPN and removing it from recents.

So, I would like to why does a VPN based adblocker stop working if I remove it from recents when a real VPN works without any issue??

I practically didn't use MIUI in F1 but having to put with it in my F4 while waiting for custom ROMs to mature and VPN based ad blockers like Blokada, Ad Away work just fine. Any app that posts a permanent notification has a good chance of not being killed by MIUI. Maybe MIUI seems to be less aggressive in my case as there's always plenty of RAM available (12GB variant)?
