Not dead,just sleeping :-)

Thankx Alex.

I knew that wise words and advice would come out of the inner you.

I went to Mike Channon Home Page and left a message there,im still waiting for a reply.

I will go get the Device from the repair shop tomorrow. Ididnt accepted the price.

I will try and fix it myself,as i have the hability to fix Electronic things as PCs,Laptops,Mobiles etc,thank GOD.

Im low on economic status,but i will try Ebay my friend.

First Kitchen i used was the one with all your OEM Packages. So i love your work.

Hope you keep up in the good path of life :).

For some of the others, should ignore any inconscient reply.

Of course i didn wanted to kill my Device. I just cooked HTC Touch Diamond ROM in a Kaiser Kitchen,added some Apps from the ROM i cooked based on C. Stu ROM to make it more colorfull,more alive to our eyes. But it went wrong,and if Man doesnt commited mistakes,so there wouldnt be positive results. Test we need. Mistakes have to occur in order to get better things.

People in Ethiopia have a more confused life than me. Im not an egocentric person, but cool :D.

I always learned things the hard way :).

he cooked the rom first ... and i'm guessing something didn't go right. OFCOURSE he just didn't straight flash a diamond rom .. he's a cook so i think he knows better than that.

There is always a Solution

Im sorry for what append to you device. It doesnt make us feel good.

What did realy append ?

What part do you need ?

I have the solution for that. If you need a new Mainboard i can get it for you.

I dont make crazy prices. Probably a new device for the price of a Mainboard,thats what ive done,but im searching for a Mainboard supplier thought :).

If you want to know more PM me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Blueangel69:
Hi Thesire

Nope,i didnt straight flashed a Diamond Rom.

I knew i had to cook it. But forgot that i had to Port XIP and probably SYS from a Kaiser ROM to the Diamond one, or the reverse.

Im still on the learning process. But as you must know,Time is the Master.

And learning and take actions till they come correct its a bit time consuming. And i dont have much time these days.

I learned the hard way. I believe thats one thing that will never appen again :).

Im waiting for my new Kaiser to arrive. Couldnt find a Mainboard supplier yet.

But i can get Kaisers for less then the price they asked me in the repair shop.

Is it possible to root Samsung galaxy tab A 10.5 sm-T590 the same as the tab s4 via ODIN? seems odd that they run on the same OS but root differently?

I desperately want to root my tablet but If it's not done by Odin then I'm not confident as there is no video tutorials that are in depth

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] djtaylor:
I have three phones on which I can repeat this problem so it appears to be common to all.

The issue is that as part of the set up of Samsung Wear (for a watch), I need to sign into a Samsung account to be able to get to the store to download apps and set up Samsung Pay.

This is invoking the default Browser which for some reason cannot make a network connection yet open the same URL https://account.samsung.com in any other browser and it's fine, so it's not a phone comms issue, it's the browser that is blocking or being blocked. I tried to set a different default browser and although this works for opening links in apps, the Samsung Wear app still invokes the standard browser.

I'm absolutely stuck with this and just changing ROM isn't an option as for the amount of re-setup required afterwards, my wife would likely just rather go and buy another phone and do it on that. I'd prefer a route that doesn't involve rooting as that brings different issues with apps that refuse to run on a rooted device.

Anyone can test this issue by just using the default browser and trying https://account.samsung.com Why it's blocked, I have no idea.

I'm at my wits end, can anyone offer any suggestions? I've tried, resetting app defaults, clearing cache, all the usual stuff.

I got to the twrp before once during the process and idk why dumb me rebooted when I couldn't access my phone files from pc I wanted to put the image of OOS on a flash drive and via OTG but once I restarted by mistake after that whatever choice I make on the fastboot screen will quickly restart and get back to the same screen, so I can do "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" successfully but I can't load to it I hit reboot to recover or Start or Reboot Bootloader nothing takes me to twrp,

Also when I try "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"

It says sending recovery okay, writing recovery failed, (remote: (recovery_b) no such partition)

[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] blade35:
First of all twrp.img is a recovery image. You would normally use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img.

Secondly, you aren't supposed to flash twrp.img but use fastboot boot twrp.img and then boot to twrp and flash the twrp installer. If you can boot into fastboot, type fastboot boot twrp.img(twrp.70 for android q) and then flash twrp installer and oos. And if you can't boot into recovery you will have to use the msm tool.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] sourabhone:
Thanks daitalos for the reply..

the drivers for 9008 are installed as visible in device manager...

the msm tool shows the phone as connected, when i start the process, it waits for loading firehose binary and waits there for 10 sec.....after that throws error of sahara communication failed (FH:258)

i again tried the volume up + power button combo but to no avail...

also there is no red led light on the phone while charging
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] daitalos:
In device manager you can see "Qualcomm HS -USB QDLoader 9008 (com3 for example) ?

You tried another usb port (?)

Close any antivirus temporarily..

Run msm tool as Administrator ofcourse..

I have had HavocOS (My favourite GSI ROM that I have tried) working n the Mi 8 Pro, as well as nitrOS. Never got RR to boot (bootanimation? didn't try to delete it) and never tried AOSP Extended.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] yo-less:
Thanks for your reply!

Are you saying you have had it boot using the steps I have outlined here? If yes, please let me know the exact version you got to boot, preferably with a link, and I will add it to the list of working ROMs. After I had finally figured out how to install GSI ROMs successfully in a way that can be reproduced, I went through the same motions every time I tried a GSI ROM and all the ROMs in my list were booting into the system, however, no version of HavocOS that I could find was booting up after going through the above steps and I tried several times and different versions, too, because some people seem to think it's a great ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nealed:
Havoc-OS-v2.8-20190811-phhgsi_arm64_a-Official.img was the one I had working. I have yet to find a consistent way of installing GSI ROMs. Havoc was the same. I had boot loops and also managed to boot the ROM, could not be sure that there were any differences in approach. I have tried with the latest september release of Havoc and could not get it working..

Back to LineageOS for me... Too many issues with GSI ROMs.. until I can get VoLTE OR Fingerprint working, I shall stay with LineageOS - it's really OK with MAgisk XPosed and Faceunlock... with VoLTE working well.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] yo-less:
Thanks for letting me know the version you got to boot. I'll give it a try to see if I can get it to work using the method I've described here - if yes, I'll add HavocOS to the list of working ROMs.

I really liked the privacy features LineageOS offers but as far as OS customization is concerned I always felt it was lacking. And as I can live without VoLTE (Didn't even know what it was until I read that my new phone supports it :D) and face unlock is working fine, I'm very happy with AOSiP for now, everything I use on a daily basis is working without any hitches and the system is super responsive.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nealed:
You list VoLTE as not working in your OP, but say you can'r live without it. Could you please detail how you got VoLTE working on your Mi 8 Pro with AOSiP please? OR any other GSI ROMs for that matter. Thanks.

Haven't had time to try it yet, but there is another dev version of HavocOS GSI: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ha...90914-phhgsi_arm64_a-Official.img.xz/download Unfortunately, it takes me a lot of time to get my phone back to the state I want it (encrypted, decryptable by TWRP, all SD Card content present, working) when testing as I often lose the encryption and have to copy all SDcard content back to TWRP restore.... if it was just as simple as that I woudl have no prroblem, but it's not. Anyway, for those willing to try, another HavocOS GSI that may or may not work on the Mi 8 Pro.

Also, I think it important to list the vendor image and firmware images used with GSI ROMs as these can have an impact on how things work .
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] yo-less:
Here's what I wrote:

So as I've outlined, I know of no way to get it to work at this stage but if anyone does, please let us know :)

I will test the ROMs you have mentioned to see if they work using the method I've described here.

I've tried to streamline the ROM installation process as much as possible, if you follow Step 1 of my guide, you should be all set and don't have to worry about flashing additional vendor or firmware images. It is, of course, possible to start experimenting with vendor images as well, but the process I've outlined here seems to work fine for all the ROMs I've listed.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nealed:
Thanks for your clarifications Jens. I appreciate it.

My bad, I need to learn to read English :laugh:

So all of these test results are with the 10.2.2 vendor. As the vendor partition plays a big role with GSI images, other vendor images may break / improve some functionality. It is important that this is understood and eventually documented with regards results of working / non working GSI images.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] eremeya:
I have a question, why can't we just port Mi 8 (dipper) Roms? Is there anything hardware differences besides the fingerprint reader and front camera?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] yo-less:
I would love for more users to report back their findings - the more community data we can gather, the better this guide will become over time. As it stands, I'm pretty happy that I've found a way of reliably getting all the ROMs I have listed to fully boot. When I started out, it was all trial-and-error, trying different firmware versions and GSI ROMs, also flashing different vendor images on top, and nothing seemed to work. Feel free to experiment with me and see if you can find different methods (including firmware / vendor images) of getting GSI ROMs to boot reliably.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] yo-less:
I'm not a ROM developer but I look at it that way: As much as it's not possible to install a Mi 9 ROM on the Mi 8 Pro, it's also not possible to install a Mi 8 ROM on a Mi 8 Lite or Mi 8 Pro. You can't even install a dipper TWRP image on an equuleus device, give it a try - you will see it won't work.

Ideally a ROM would detect what kind of device you have and adjust its code accordingly. But as of now, every device needs its own specifically tailored ROM. But GSI ROMs seem to try and give us a way out of this situation.

The question I'm asking myself is why there is virtually no custom ROM development happening for the Mi 8 Pro - this is the first time I own an Android device that can't be easily customized (or unlocked - but that's a different matter).
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] eremeya:
I might normally agree with your idea but the hardware is almost exactly the same except for the finger print reader and the front camera so in theory it should be fine except for those. A different example might be installing Poco phone roms on a Mi 8 or Mi 8 roms on a Mi 8 Ursa.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] yo-less:
I'm not saying it's beyond possible to make it happen, all I'm saying is that it doesn't seem to work as the hardware is not the same - or have you been able to install a Mi 8 ROM on a Mi 8 Pro? I couldn't even get a Mi 8 TWRP running on a Mi 8 Pro, so I'm guessing the difference does matter.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] eremeya:
I tried with one rom and it failed to install. It gave an error about the zip not being signed or signed wrong. I modified a file in to ROM zip to remove references to dipper. (This is the process that is done to install Poco phone Roms on a Mi 8). I'm not sure how to modify the rom zip and re-sign it so it installs. Unfortunately I don't have much time right now to experiment as I'm busy with school.

Testing day yesterday, I am currently running HavocOS, with the just released chinese Xiaomi V11.0.2.0.PECCNXM vendor.

I believe that to get it working, SELinux needs to be set to permissive.

Steps taken to boot:

1. Flash 10.3.4 ROM using Xiaomi Flash tool - wiping and cleaning everything, including data and SDCard.

2. Boot and set passcode.

3. Reboot to Bootloader

4. Flash recovery-TWRP-3.3.0-0504-XIAOMI8UD-CN-wzsx150 TWRP.img to recovery partition

5. Boot recovery-TWRP-3.3.0-0504-XIAOMI8UD-CN-wzsx150

6. Factory Reset

5. Flash Havoc-OS-v2.9-20190914 (thread, download

6. Flash permissiver-v4 by erfanoabdi for GSI images

7. Boot

8. Upon reboot to recovery - wipe cahche / dalvik, reboot recovery, then reboot system

9. If you are sent back to recovery. Just reboot - it will boot eventually.

10 Subsequently, from TWRP, resize system partition and flash gapps (yes, you can do this and everything works fine. I have done this on plenty of occasions. It is also possible to invoke the android one time setup wizard if you need that to restore from a backup etc.).

11. Flash Magisk 20.0

12. Flash PolarKernel (see this section for download and details)

HavocOS allows:

Using gesture navigation (I use OnePlus gestures) - native feature

Using Face unlock with the option of dismissing the lock screen automatically - native feature

Hide the clock (great for our notched devices (for me anyway as I have a clock widget on the home screen anyway)) to gain valuable screen real estate - native feature

Battery circle icon - native feature

Great theme options built in

Many more features.

I am reaching out to some devs to see if I cannot cook this for our Mi 8 Pro. I would dearly love to get the under screen fingerprint working. On one hand others have tried and failed. On the other, I'm not sure how much effort has gone in to the trials - as this is not exactly the most popular device on the planet. Not many devs have it.

However, with fanix-uk working on LineageOS - and possibly the FP sensor - as well as the possibility of having VoLTE and infrared face unlock (as is present in LineageOS for Mi 8 Pro) working - this would be my perfect setup.

Despite not having VoLTE (I may do some tests today) I am considering staying with this setup as it really is great. Time will tell...

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nealed:
yo-less has written a comprehensive guide. You should read it (OP).

There is a section titled: Flashing Google Apps / Enabling Google functionality (Optional)

Part of that section includes: "Many times, the System partition will also be too small to also accommodate the Google Apps package, so you will be greeted with the following message:"

The follow clear step by step instructions on how to resize the partition to install gapps.

Forums become difficult (near impossible) to naviagte when already answered questions are repeatedly asked. There is then too much repetition for the forum to become useful.
