[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ze7zez:
You should check that all system, cache and data partitions are ext4:

-> Wipe

-> Advanced Wipe

-> (check only one partition at a time)

-> Repair or Change File System

I. If any partition is not ext4, fix it to make it ext4 and check if os.zip installation works again.

II. If all partitions are ext4, then there is the final option for getting rid of errors: Format Data.

All data in the phone's memory will be deleted.

That is why it is necessary to transfer important data from the phone temporarily using File Manager in TWRP to the previously cleared system partition, which is 1300 MB in size.

If you left your previously packaged files with gzip, they will be smaller, so more will fit on the system partition.

Of course, your os.zip

should be there

!

I have checked all the instructions below step by step and I work in TWRP, which you indicated in the last link.

However, you should keep in mind that everything you do on your phone is at your own risk.

So think twice before you decide to do it.

The steps are as follows:

1. Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Dalvik, system, Data, cache

2. In the terminal:

mkdir /system/sd

3. Advanced -> File Manager -> select the os.zip file (and other files that you think are important and needed) and copy to /system/sd)

4. Wipe -> Format Data -> yes -> OK

5. Reboot -> Recovery

6. Mount -> check System

7. Advanced -> File Manager -> select the directory /system/sd and copy it to /sdcard

8. Install your /sdcard/sd/os.zip
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eldin90:
All partitions are ext4

I see that there's an option to Resize File System.

Is it possible to increase System size by using free space from Data partition?

I currently have 14GB free on Data partition.

I could delete unnecessary files and leave more than 30GB of free space.

Would it then be possible to:

-Resize System to 30GB without wiping Data

-Moving about 20GB of my files from Data to System

-Format Data

-Moving my files from System back to Data

?

Do not try with a screwdriver, because the plastic is fragile and you will damage the housing. You must have:

1. basic tools for loosening small screws with the right profile

2. strong nails.

It's not that easy to diagnose. There are many possible cases.

Do not even try! This is not the time to experiment.

In your case, if you don't have a good USB connection, you will harm yourself.

I did all of that and phone still boots directly to recovery.

I really don't understand what's making it boot to recovery every time.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ze7zez:
Solution

For example, if the bootloader cannot load the kernel, it loads the recovery again.

That is why he returns so quickly in TWRP.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqwFgzL5MeU

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/android-boot-process/

http://androidsrc.net/android-booting-sequence-explained/

https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-102546

--------------Explanation------------

You've managed to flash recovery.img in two areas:

in the recovery area and in the boot area (here where the ROM kernel should be).

When you start the phone with the Power button or in TWRP via Reboot -> System, TWRP recovery loads from the boot area and therefore the system does not start.

When you start the phone with Vol- + Power buttons or in TWRP via Reboot -> Recovery, TWRP recovery from the recovery area loads.

#############

# Solution. #

#############

1. Extract boot.img from your os.zip

unzip /sdcard/os.zip

2. In TWRP: Reboot -> Recovery

3. Install (Install Image) -> boot.img -> select "Boot" -> Swipe to confirm Flash

4. Install os.zip

5. Ta-dah!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eldin90:
-Unzipped os.zip

-Rebooted to Recovery

-Wiped System, Data, Cache

-Successfully installed boot.img to boot sector

-Installed os.zip

-Rebooted system and phone still booted ditectly to Recovery
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eldin90:
This also deleted everything from my sdcard too.

Now I'm pretty much fu**ed because I don't have os.zip on the phone anymore and I'll have to fix the USB now.

Phone still boots directly to recovery.

Now I'm gonna try next thing from your post, just to see what will happen.

Edit:

Did all the steps. Phone still boots directly to recovery.

I used to have Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus a few years ago, and when I tried to boot it without OS installed it would hang on Samsung logo and show "No OS Installed" message. It wouldn't boot to recovery by itself.

How OnePlus One should behave when booting with no OS installed? Should it hang on 1+ logo or should it automatically boot to recovery?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ze7zez:
Nothing should disappear from /sdcard. :confused:

If this happened, it means that there was a huge mess on your phone.

If there is only TWRP running in the recovery partition in OPO, then after zeroing the boot partition, the system should hang instead of returning to TWRP.

Perhaps returning to recovery is the result of inaccurate multiboot uninstallation.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eldin90:
I don't know why /sdcard got formatted. I was doing everything very carefully and didn't touch internal storage.

After doing "Repair File System" I tried to flash os.zip and there was nothing on /sdcard.

Then I noticed that firmware, System, Data and Cache partitions got unmounterd.

I mounted them and flashed OS.zip

Phone booted to recovery.

Then I did "Change File System". First to exFat and then back to EXT4.

After doing that firmware, System, Data and Cache partitions got unmounterd again.

But this time, after mounting Data, /sdcard was still empty.

After rebooting, Recovery asked me do I want to keep system read only because TWRP folder (and everything else from sdcard) is gone.

My OPO booted to recovery after doing all of the stuff from your previous post.

Now I'm really confused. I don't even know if I fix usb and flash a new recovery will that 100% fix the phone.

Could multiboot recovery be responsible for deleting sdcard after Changing File System? Because I'm 100% sure that I didn't deleted it.

I bought this chip programmer to flash router firmware.

I could open the phone and find the chip.

Then I would need the dump file that I can flash directly to the chip.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ForMartha:
Hi,

I recently bought a Mi 8, 64 GB from a local retailer.

When MIUI 11 came out, I started looking for ways to install it - when I came to a thread suggesting to download an official global ROM, Iv'e done it.

But, I ended up with seeing an error message suggests that I can't install it since it's not compatible with the 'vendor'.

Pocking and digging around the web didn't produce any useful information..

Can I get your help with figuring out what's the origin of it?

I'd like to take it to the retailer - but I need more information that will come handy when I'm filling my complain.

Cheers,

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] pedrofssf94:
Did you unlocked the bootloader?

Did you downloaded the right rom?

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ForMartha:
I didn't. it's a sealed box phone. everything is the same as I bought it.

I'm not quite sure that EU rom will fit, but I'll try to seek for more information there..
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] aittamattia:
Isn't that an H3G phone? I think you got a phone branded H3G or whatever it's called in your country, that's why you got the vendor message error, I guess..

Don't ask me how to fix it or further details because I can't help you more than this, but if you want to, unlock the bootloader and flash the global rom. Be aware of what you're doing if you want to take it back to the retailer.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ForMartha:
I got no such phone in my country.. I guess, it's related to a bad stock/missplaced one.

let's hope someone else knows exact details about it.

Thank you for the time spent to help.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] aittamattia:
I don't think so.. I mean, I'm not saying you did buy it, but the retailer may have sold you one of those..

Look at the name of the ROM, P stands for Android version, EA stands for dipper, MI is the region of the ROM and then..... HG, why not XM? I don't know what XM means, but I think that HG stands for H3G. You can also find ROMs ending with VF, why? Vodafone..
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] MirceaViP:
I woyld suggest you to try to authenticate it .
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
You need to open the phone and follow the instructions to setup your Mi Cloud account, setup Google and use the phone. The Miui 11 update will show up via the updater. At the time the most current global stable build remains on Android 9.

After using the phone for 360 Hours or two weeks, you can unlock the bootloader. From there install whatever you want.

Personally, I recommend the custom Xiaomi.EU rom which is also Miui 11 but based on the Android 10 Chinese beta. But of course all Chinese is removed and Google services are installed. I feel that this is best version of Miui yet.

Edit: I had never heard of the exact that you are using in HG. For this device have a specialized carrier version of Miui?

If so you will need to check with the carrier to if it is possible to unlock the bootloader. I have heard of similar cases with people who own the MiMix3 5G phones.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ForMartha:
Thanks for all the answers.

[MENTION=8105513]aittamattia[/MENTION]

I don't really know to whom it belongs.. I'm trying to figure out this magic. I myself think that it's H3S device.

[MENTION=8840524]MirceaViP[/MENTION]

Salut. I did try it out. it ended up stating it's official international version.

[MENTION=7672955]tsongming[/MENTION]

I'd like to avoid unlocking the bootloader at the moment. I need this device to connect to a corporate account, which, requires to have the bootloader closed and unchanged.

I was talking with the reseller and he knew nothing about this H3S. We agreed to look for information together.. let's see what's going to be the end of this story.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] aittamattia:
I recently found out about these ROMs, it's just that you have to wait for the manufacturer to push the update. Also, check this link to Mi Community, it's in Spanish but look for the code name of your ROM and will help you to better understand the whole thing (and where your phone comes from.. ;)).

Your rom is a carrier rom, you will get the update when the carrier add their own bloatware and releases to you.

Thanks for all the information.

I hope a moderator will move it to Q&A as I want to take it to the reseller to negotiate my options.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] mbgrandi:
Hey,

You have a carrier specific phone. Did you buy it from Three UK?

I bought mine from there exactly one year ago. It came with MIUI 9 and running that "HG" ROM. I had to unlock the bootloader, flash the original global version and lock the bootloader afterwards.

If you don't flash the global version issued by Xiaomi, you will only be able to update to MIUI 11 when Three issue the update. Three is managing the software updates.

Don't waste your time with their customer services, they have no idea what is the software version. If you have the option to get your money back, buy it direct from Xiaomi UK or Europe.

My phone is working fine since then, I'm able to update it via OTA normally.

Please have a look on this:

https://xdaforums.com/mi-8/help/xiaomi-mi8-3-uk-network-t3886669/

There are some topics on the Mi Community as well. I had a discussion with some people that had the same issue.

Hope it helps.

Cheers
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ForMartha:
Thanks for the time spent to share information about this ROM.

At the meantime, I'm trying to negotiate nicely with the reseller. It seems like he is looking for information about it as well.

Do you know if H3S got some official customer support system which I can get more inputs on it?

As for the process you've done:

1. Unlocked bootloader

2. Flashed global rom

3. Relocked bootloader

After this process you were able to get OTA updates?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] mbgrandi:
Hi, that's good.

I spoke to their customer services at that time, but had no luck. No one could provide any precise information about the upgrade. Maybe they are able to provide more information now.

So I decided to flash the global version by myself.

Yes, I'm getting OTA updates normally. The official global version is PEAMIXM. I'm on 11.0.6 now.

Cheers
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ForMartha:
Well,

I'm in a process of probably replacing it to the official version with actually returning the device and getting other.

if it won't work with the reseller, I'll flash a new global rom and that's it.

P.S. - I saw that there are tools that can do it without unlocking the boot loader, like using EDL. did you tired that?

Thanks :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] mbgrandi:
Hey!

I didn't try using EDL, maybe it's an alternative. I had to wait 360 hours to get to unlock the bootloader, then the process of flashing and relock bootloader took 15min.

There are other options of ROMs out there, but I wanted to keep it as much as original as possible.

Hope you find a solution soon!

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] DaReDeViL:
Hi N970F regular Note10 users

As the Note10+ ZSK4 update reportedly fixes the adb sideloading of update zips, it is surely our only way to flash incremental OTAs because we don't have sdcard support on the regular Note10.

So it would be great if someone on Note10 N970F with firmware ASJ2 or ASJM can grab the direct update zip to ZSK4 (or even better to ZSK8).

I wish I could but beta registration isn't available in my region...

Thanks in advance :good:
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
So I've had the original 18mm and 60mm lenses by Sirui for nearly two years and since the Pixel 4 XL doesn't have a built-in ultra wide angle lens, the 18mm will still be useful for me to continue using. The 60mm lens I rarely used but it's nice to have and combined with the built-in telephoto lens, it's nearly 16x total zoom.

These are compatible with the Moment case however they do fit extra snug. So tight that it does seem to have scraped the mounting on the case but I don't think it'll get any worse.

With the new case I decided to order the 18mm version 2:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KD3B8FM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Nice it came with a case but it's laughably huge compared to my Moment case. I think it's because it a repurposed 3 lens kit case. The red lens is the original version 1. Rubber caps for the front and back are a nice touch.

Here's the unboxing pics:

I didn't do screen caps from video recording like I did in my original review (https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2-xl/accessories/moment-photo-case-paired-sirui-wide-t3773470) but the wide angle is amazing for video too as there's a decent crop when shooting video with the lens.

Thanks so much for the comparison. I had the 18mm V2 and loved it on my old Pixel XL. Excited to get my Pixel 4XL Moment case.

I just grabbed the fisheye and tele as well. I got the fisheye and was disappointed in the packaging - the lens came loose and was scraping against the clear polycarbonate box!! It actually left a substantial amount of scratching on the case, but the lens itself was fine.

I also wish they had the rubber front+rear lens cap that the new 18mm comes with! My fisheye only came with a hard plastic front cap, and nothing for the rear. I had to 3D print a rear cap for it. I contacted Sirui USA to buy just the lens cap, but they ignored me since I am from Canada :(

For those looking to buy, DHPhoto and a few other sellers on Ali have them for around $45 Cad or so with the store coupons. Cheaper than Amazon if you can wait!

[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
My version 1 of the 18mm and 60mm didn't come with small caps for attachment side. I would still recommend getting the version 2 18mm because of no more vignetting and sell the version 1.

Well it's not necessarily incompatible with the Pixel 4 XL because Rhinoshield does use the same attachment system as Moment. It might just not be listed because Rhinoshield themselves don't have the lens adapter for the phone.
