[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] cr34m:
Just bought this phone couple weeks ago. I just learned that unlocking the bootloader sometimes takes days. I've been looking around and I found apps that claims they could unlock the bootloader instantly without waiting time. Wonder if anyone tried an unofficial way of unlocking the device and I want to know whether it is safe. Anyone?
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] Vijay G:
Listen bruh if any unofficial way will come, then it will be only for those who are having problem while unlocking bootloader even after waiting for the given time,

More like it's the last resort, also it's risky so it is always recommended to go for official because it is safe and trustworthy, while unofficial has risks of phone getting bricked
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] cr34m:
I totally get this. That is why I asked if someone did actually tried some of these. I've seen YT videos claiming it could unlock the bootloader in an instant. Tbh though,it's just ridiculous to wait for days just to unlock the bootloader. I've given up and the used the official way. Now, I have to wait for a week.

upon installing any ROM (including stock) it flickers after a few minutes. i am assuming some google apps or the play store itself causes the flicker. the black screen/flicker doesn't happen in recovery mode so i assume that it's not a hardware malfunction. any help would be great thank you. if anything the flickering first happened when i was using an 8.0 RR ROM

Good Morning, Afternoon or Evening where ever you are.

n the past I have found a thread that listed all the alternative phones that will allow a windows phone to receive ongoing windows 10 updates. i.e. fooling widows so that I thinks it is another phone (a Lumia 850 registry edited to think it is a 950) I have spent hours looking for these details.

Please can any of you kind members point me in the right direction of these details?

I currently have a Lumia 625 and need to know what to set it to.

Thank you for all your help.

Hello,

I decided to replace my three years old mobile phone very soon. I'd like to know how to re-synchronize my Stratos watch keeping old workouts data if possible.

Is it only enough to do the following:

- dispair the watch on my old mobile

- re-pair it on new mobile

Thank you very much.
[Amazfit] lfom:
If you are using the same system (Android -> Android or iOS -> iOS), then no need to unpair. Do this:

1. On original phone, sync watch to make sure you have the latest data in the cloud;

2. Logout from Amazfit Watch app (do NOT unpair watch, simply logout from your account);

3. Remove watch from phone's Bluetooth settings;

4. On the new phone, install Amazfit Watch and login using the same account as your old phone, obviously;

5. Watch should ask to pair automatically using normal Bluetooth pairing, check notifications and some phones show it there.

If it fails for some reason, you can always factory reset/unpair, then pair again and chose "restore old data to watch" when pairing again (although some people reported it is broken on Amazfit Watcg 3..0+).

PS: There is no Stratos 2, this model does not exist.

[Android Apps and Games] Sicknote92:
Hello everyone!

I am Sicknote and this is my first real Android App.

On my commute to work I always listen to music and everyday I see people on my train to do the same. Sometimes I can't choose a song to play and get so curious as to what that cool person on the train might be listening to, so I developed an application that would allow me to do just that.

ListenApp connects to the users Spotify app and shares what the user is listening to anonymously. Other ListenApp users can see what song is being listened to and at what position in the song the person is at, they can choose to listen together from the same point in the song.

Everything is anonymous.

Users can search for music globaly (default setting) or 100 meters / 50 meters. But it's advised to keep the global search on until there are far more users.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] ashok9949:
Hi Android Enthusiastic's

I was totally impressed by Redmi k20 pro specs and price and I had brought it from China next day it was released in Chinese market, I had to deal with slot of Chinese bloatware and I was finally waiting for official global ROM to released and I unlocked bootloader and flashed global ROM and when I try to relock the bootloader it gets stuck in recovery mode

And works fine with unlocked bootloader

And later I came to know that Xiaomi had actually did this on purpose that no should do like this

I ask all you is there any workaround for this that I can have official global rom and locked Bootloader

Because unlocked bootloader can lead to hacking and loss of sensitive information and potential for virus attack
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] 5i1v3rStorm:
Since you have the chinese variant if the phone locking it's bootloader will limit the phone to ONLY being able to boot the Chinese ROM or one of these fake global ShopROMs which nobody should use (in my opinion).

I don't think it possible to flash the official global ROM and lock the bootloader. Maybe some day the Pro's will be able to convert a Redmi K20pro to a Mi 9T Pro with baseband and bootlock support but at the time of writing this is not possible.

Until then you have to choose between Chinese ROM with locked bootloader or any other ROM with unlocked one. I use Xiaomi.eu ROM with unlocked Bootloader and deem the data encryption safe enough.

A thief could boot TWRP, format data and have my phone but that is a risk I can take. In that case I might even still be able to lock the phone with my mi account if the thief used MIUI

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vtdone:
Using the various guides and how-to I've managed to root many Mediatek devices as well as Snapdragon 810 and 820 but I am unable to find any how-to for rooting this Elephone P11 which has a slightly aging Helio X25/MT6797T CPU running Android 8 Oreo.

Mtk_Droid_Tool can't create a scatter file for it. When I made one manually using WwR_MTK_2_51 and adb, I can't get SP_Flash_Tool-5.1916 to readback the rom.

Can anyone help please. No stock rom for me to extract boot.img and no TWRP for this device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vtdone:
I got the P11 rooted! For those who want to root the elephone p11 themselves, here's how:

1. use step 2 of the [GUIDE] ROOT any Android Devices By Using Magisk Manager

with the boot.img/patched boot.img I created myself at

elephone_p11_boot.img-stock and magisked.rar

Note: the magisk version used on the patch boot.img is v 19.3 (19300) so if you don't have access to this version, you will need to create your own patched boot.img in Step 1 of the above guide.

I've included the scatter file for downloading boot.img with SP_Flash_tool.

Credit to the Hovatek forum guide that enabled me to dump the stock rom of the P11.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] downbc1:

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Wmateria:
Its really simple:

****Prerequisite****

When you have the bootloader unlocked...

Then you can proceed to page 5 of the AOSiP Rom thread. Here's download link from the thread.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-1mAQMRX8T34ya4z_IEL69tiyto5A95w

Minimal ADB and Fastboot program should work for USB Debugging, i think you should know that already since you flashed before. Oh and make sure you put the Recovery file in the directory where you will enter Fastboot Flash Recovery (Recovery name).img when using the program, or the program of your choice, etc.

Note: Make sure you get a USB 2.0 adapter in case connecting device via bootloader does not work after entering command: adb reboot bootloader... and fastboot devices (most newer pc's may not read the device while running adb program, check connection with "adb devices" (phone on) and "fastboot devices" (bootloader)

If all is good, lets get to it.

Step 1: Press and hold power + volume down to enter bootloader

Step 2: enter: fastboot flash recovery (recovery name).img

Wait... ... ... ...

Step 3: enter: fastboot boot (recovery name).img

Wait some more ... .... ......... .........

Be patient and the rocovery should prompt you, make sure you have the language in english... disregard the enter password for now in cace it pops up, just press cancel.

Step: 4 Now... Go to wipe/advanced wipe/ and repair/change partitions, press on DATA and change the Data Partition to EXT4....now encryption is disabled. DO NOT REBOOT. Stay on recovery. I think you can mount usb device to put rom files to the phone, but use a Micro SD Card just in case.

Steo 5: Now you can flash a Rom.. to flash a its required to flash miui firmware so for example, a Rom like AOSiP or Lineage OS on page 1 will ask you to (in that order):

°flash required firmware 9.6.27

°the Rom (latest build)

°GApps

°Magisk 19.3

In case any errors in flashing, change DATA partition to EXT2 and back to EXT 4. And wipe system, internal, cahces.

Otherwise.... You did it!!!!

After using your phone for a bit, you can go back to recovery: Nijel's TWRP Recovery or Orange Recovery 10 which just came out. Do not use, official recovery from TWRP.

Side note: To get to recovery manually, hold volume up + power. Wait until the Xiaomi splash animation immediately dims and let go of power button.
