[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] valp88:
Hey guys, recently I broke my A2's screen (again) and ordered a replacement from China.

I installed it, booted the system and updated to Android 10 immediately.

Everything seemed to be working, but I noticed that the GPS is now useless.

I mean, it manages to pinpoint exactly at my house, but If I set a route, it just doesn't work, it remains stuck.

If I leave the house (and, therefore, begin to rely on mobile data), the precision vanishes completely and it just won't find me.

This behaviour is strange, since mobile data is working normally, and he can pinpoint my location at home quite precisely, compass apparently working, but outside it won't work at all, it can't detect any kind of movement, even if placing me somewhere else.

I have two hyphotheses:

1) The sensor broke?

The screen broke in the bottom of the phone, nasty break, but it wasn't a fall. An item pressed against it in a purse.

Maybe this time the sensor broke? Is it possible to buy parts and fix it?

2) Could this have something to do with this update? I reseted the phone to factory, but it's still Android 10...

Any other report like this? I should try downgrading to Android 9 right?

What do you guys think?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] valp88:
Just some updates:

I tried Android 9 and GPS still doesn't work.

The sensor is probably fine, but something happened while changing the screen.

I saw a report that says that changing back to old screen fixed the GPS issue. I can't do this because I throwed the broken screen in the trash.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] valp88:
Hey guys, can anyone say which replacement piece must be used to fix this issue?

Could it be the lower dock board, or the mainboard, or a single module? I could try to buy it from aliexpress and repair the phone...

Both GPS and Bluetooth don't work. I need to know which part of the hardware is related to these functions. Can't find anything online.

Edit: bluetooth is ok actually.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
when you change from pie to Q(10) your gps / compass or other sensors don't work correctly because your persist partition that controls how these hardware sensors interact with rom.gets corrupted

search my older posts around related to restoring your persist partition and it will likely start working

ive never heard of any gps or compass attached to the screen or digitizer ...

it's not impossible that a hard jarring knock to break the connection to your compass or gps i guess

you can "locate" at home because google location history remembers where you were when last connected to your home wifi ... Google is "locating" you using the wifi at your house ...when you go walkabout and your wifi connection gets lost google doesn't know where you've gone

if you had to go to advanced settings and allowed wif, Bluetooth and mobile scanning in advanced location settings google would probably find you even with a broken gps and compass as long as you have some mobile data

but anyway restore your persist

if it fails

live with mobile data as location method

or go visit your local phone repairman and give him your money
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] valp88:
I see. Even a stock update from 9 to 10 could've broken my persist data then?

I went back to Pie stock and had no luck, then stock-updated to 10 again.

If this were software/corruption related, then going back to Pie stock would've fixed right?

I'll try to flash that persist data, but I have no backups.

I searched for your posts and couldn't find your guidance, but found this:

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] PsK2010:
Hi, I have encountered the same issue here : I finally replaced my LCD screen on a Xiami Mi A2 (6/128), and made attention that everything was in place when reassembling the device, a couple of weeks ago.

Due to the lockdown I didn't use the GPS for monthes, but realized last sunday that the GPS couldn't "FIX" position, I always have 0 | 56 satellites. As if it didn't want to "connect" to the satellites, so the GPS accuracy is from more than 1Km to 23m depending if I'm near a WiFi network... My wife has the Mi A1 version and still she didn't succeed in getting an accurate GPS location (she finally got one nearly 1h later), so this made me think that the GPS issue might indeed be caused by a corrupted persist partition when applying the official OTA Android 10 update... :crying:

I've tried everything (from various GPS rescue apps from the Play Store, to factory reset my stock ROM), and finally switched to a custom ROM (AICP, Android Ice Cold Project, which is really nice BTW), but nothing changed regarding my GPS fix issue.

I've followed this thread and patched the persist good.zip file in TWRP, and even if it might have somehow helped with 4G/LTE mobile network connection, I still can't get a proper GPS location... maybe I should try with the "persist" of another version of stock ROM (I'm on Android 10 BTW)?

Anyway, I'll keep on trying to fix this as I'm really satisfied with this phone. So, just to say, you're not alone [MENTION=5983606]valp88[/MENTION], and thank you all (especially [MENTION=7853675]KevMetal[/MENTION]) for your help!

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
duh stupid ...i forgot to mention that if you have jasmime 2x of all partition ...you need to flash the persist in both A&B slots

so after flashing in slot A select slot b in reboot section..reboot to RECOVERY ..then flash persist again ...the in reboot section select slot A amd revoot to recovery then when you are now safely back in slot A choose reboot to boot your phone normally

i failed to mention this because im on wayne which is the same phone but with a A only partition ..

:silly:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] PsK2010:
Yeah I think I did flash the persist on both A and B slots, anyway, I tried it again, but even if it seems to flash I have an error 'unable to mount storage', maybe it's due to the "twrp-3.3.1-5-jasmine_sprout-unofficial.img" I'm booting on (I boot from the img file, with fastboot boot command).

If I still have the GPS fix issue, I'll try flashing persist on both slots but this time using the default twrp (twrp-3.3.1-3-jasmine_sprout.img).

Again, thank you for your time!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
if your gps problem continues I would suggest flashing the whole stock rom in edl mode with xml modified to flash persist and then it will definitely work but as we're both aware that is a mission you probably don't want to have to do d

the reason the unofficial twrp exists is because the official one has problems and has never "officially" been fixed entirely to support encryption on both pie and Q :p

I'm also pretty certain it can't "see" nor backup or mount and definitely not write to the persist partition but i haven't checked recently

if you go to the backup tab or mount tab and persist doesn't appear as an option the recovery can't write or flash anything to that partition usually

the recovery i linked was modified by a Russian over at 4pda to specifically support .img files and also mount and write to persist partition

you can change the language from Russian in the settings tab ..second from the bottom right
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] PsK2010:
Hey, after reverting back to Stock Pie (with flashing the persist from the official stock image thanks to [MENTION=7853675]KevMetal[/MENTION]'s instruction), I still didn't got a good GPS reception (0/40 satellites) and noticed that bluetooth reception was weaker than before I replace my screen.

I then dediced to disassemble the phone again to check the antenna and other connections, and then realized : some parts were missing in the replacement frame I bought!

As you can see on the picture, some metallic contacts were were missing on the new screen support frame (old frame below the new one), I just got them off my broken screen support, stick them in the new support frame and BOOM : I FINALLY GOT BACK GPS SIGNAL + awesome bluetooth signal too! :cool:

[Android Apps and Games] daap:
Finding great wallpapers and backgrounds for your Android device isn’t all that difficult. There are a ton of apps out there that can do the task. On top of that, a simple Google image search can also show you some unique options.

[IMG="wallpaper"]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/SPPA58JqYzPv6OpvQg0CySujUgOmmEI_xubCsT9tnAC-fA4FnU2dHzqVMdTbnMdSvzo=w1777-h841-rw[/IMG]

Paintup is one of the better 4K and UHD wallpaper apps. It has a collection of over 80,000 wallpapers organized in various categories. The app also uses your display size to auto-fit wallpapers to your screen resolution. That takes out much of the guess work on whether or not a wallpaper will look okay on your device. It does have the occasional bug, namely while scrolling and browsing.

[IMG="mp"]https://i.ibb.co/Ybh6xSK/img1.png[/IMG]

However, it's otherwise a good experience. It's also free with no in-app purchases.:good: There is advertising, though.You can download the image you like and set it as wallpaper within the app. It also lets you set a particular wallpaper as your favorite, so you don’t lose track of your liked wallpapers.The collection includes New elements, Sky High, Landscapes, Textures, Life, Earth, Art, Cityscapes, Geometric shapes, Keep Looking, Solid Colors, Seascapes or you can choose a custom wallpaper from my photos. One of the best things about this app is that it only offers high-quality content from recognized artists.

I have a BLU Grande X LTE running a Mediatek MT6737M board. I'd like to flash TWRP on it. I have SP Flash Tool with an scatter file from the OEM recovery files. I replace the recovery image with a TWRP image, select the download agent from the BLU recovery files, select "Download only," but then I get this error:

Does that mean I need the auth file to get past Mediatek lock-down on custom flashes? If so, any tips where to find it?

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] neil_swann80:
Just want to check the obvious... is your bootloader unlocked? Is the TWRP version specifically for your device?

Are your firmware images signed? If so, you may need to un-sign them...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] theexternvoid:
Sorry for the very late response. I missed the notice for this post.

Yes, the firmware is unlocked. The TWRP version is not for my device, but I hope to find one that works or make one. But can't test it unless I can flash it. My original firmware images are signed and I can flash the factory OEM image. Problem is if I unsign them I don't think it will accept them since it requires signed files. So I guess the question now is, how does one find the key to sign a custom recovery?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] neil_swann80:
If your bootloader in unlocked, you should be able to flash unsigned images. Are you using SP FlashTool?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishaan54:
So, I just decided to try and Flash the old TF101 with Katkiss 6.0.1 and Gapps, but I always get stuck on the same problem.

My TF101 is running Android 4.0.3 ICS and USB Debugging is on

I downloaded TWRP app on the transformer, as well as the latest .blob flash file through the app.

Before this, I rooted the tablet using Kingroot.apk, which worked. When I went to flash the tablet with the recovery, the app noted "Recovery Partition not found".

I tried to boot into recovery mode on my own, (Pressing Pwr + Volume down , Then hitting Volume Up), The android screen popped, up and then flashed to a fallen android with a red triangle.... The screen stays on this for a minute and then boots into the normal system. I can't even boot into recovery through ADB, using the

adb reboot recovery

, The tablet will just reboot normally, not into recovery mode.

The Device does recognize through ADB....

Is my recovery partition just non existent? Even when I just let the system though without pressing volume up, it only gives me the option of (Android) or (Erase Data). when I click erase data, ill stay on the asus loading screen indefinitely and nothing will happen until i turn it off and on.

I just cant seem to boot into TWRP for some reason, and that means I just cant install the downloaded custom ROM.

How Can I fix this and boot into TWRP? I've tried for hours and have been hung up due to the same problem each time, even after rooting.

I need some help with my first Android radio buy, so i ask my question here.

Want to buy this Fongent PX6 (RK3399) 4GB/64GB universal 2 DIN unit, Its got everything i want including all the connections i need.

Its was not my first pick, as i was looking for one of the more common mentioned units that i fount after my primarily research, but this unit got all that i need and is reasonable cheap, and got 5x USB, a plus but not a must, if there are reasons i should not get this unit.

These are all the parts i wane buy for the build, maybe there are some comments on the parts i picked.

(This are the parts listed in the link above, but the link dose not work all the time.)

Head Unit.

Unit bezel.

1080p DVR 2x.

back up camera. (Met Dynamic Trajectory lines)

DAB+

TPMS. (tire pressure sensors)

USB panel socket.

beckup camera power filter. (for €2 why not)

Panel removal set.

Spec.

Android 9.0 OS

Hexa-core cpu rockchip PX6 RK3399 Dual-core Cortex-A72 tot 1.8 GHz Quad-core Cortex-A53 tot 1.4 GHz

GPU Mail-T8640MP4

4 GB ram, 64 GB rom

5x usb ports (one fast charge)

Build in DSP 15 Segment EQ DA7850 HIFI amp IC, 4X45 W

Touch screen: IPS HD1024*600 Capacitive touchscreen.

Radio Chip:ST7708S (Met RDS) AM/FM tuner

Bluetooth: 5.1

GPS: build in GPS and GLONASS dual sateliet

Output: DSP/HDMI Video out/SUB output, MID output, FL/FR/RL/RR output;

Input: Rear en Front Camera input

This is the setup i wane use.

And these are the units connections.

The questions i am left with after 2 weekends research:

Do you have normally root access to these units, at minimum wane install a firewall, but a upgrade path would be nice.

Can you install different ROMs?

Unit comes with a Toyota cable set, are these standard connections for all normal Toyota models. (Have a Avensis 2007 / model type T25)

Can i keep using the controls on the wheel, or do i need a extra box?

Can you record 2 USB DVR streams at the same time on the unit? (would be nice extra)

Are the USB DAB+ dongles similar in quality, or is it, you get what you pay for.

Lots of questions, but Android car is not your standard PnP drop in unit.

Any questions people can help me with would be appreciated, greetings Michael

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Kkslider123:
I bought this device for custom ROM use only (LineageOS, Evolution X, Pixel Experience etc). Don't ever intend on using stock MIUI.

I'm not sure if the Mi account used to unlock the bootloader of this phone is still attached to it. But as long as I don't try to go back to stock MIUI, it won't be an issue right? I'm free to flash TWRP and LineageOS without running into a "Login to Mi Account to continue" prompt right?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
Correct. You will only have problems if you flash MIUI with the Mi Flash Tool and accidentally lock the bootloader.

However, if you stuff up the phone somehow while flashing something, fastboot flashing MIUI could be your only way to recover the phone, so there is a slight risk still. If you ever get in this situation you just need to the care that you don't lock the phone.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Kkslider123:
Thanks, much appreciated! After some research about flashing MIUI using MiFlash, it looks like there is a button in the bottom right corner of MiFlash that says "clean all and lock". When you advise to "not lock the phone", you're referring to making sure that button is not ticked, right?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
Yes, though you can also delete the flash all and lock batch file from ROM folder before flashing, that way nothing happens if you forget to change it I the flash tool.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Kkslider123:
Thank you so much! Okay, so here's my process to ensure this phone is wiped clean before I start using it:

1. Use MiFlash to reinstall/flash MIUI, making sure the "clean all" button is selected instead of the "clean all and lock" button (I also deleted the clean & lock batch file just in case).

2. Boot phone into fastboot, then use ADB to flash TWRP.

3. In TWRP, Wipe>Format Data>yes to confirm.

4. Flash ROM. Reboot into ROM. Done!

This will ensure a completely clean wipe of all partitions prior to installing a custom recovery and rom, all without running into any "Mi Account Login" issues, correct?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
Make sure you install the same version as the phone, so it will be either global or European.

Let the phone boot into MIUI once to finalise the install before flashing anything else - you don't need to go through the initial setup

You'll flash TWRP with the fastboot command not adb

After installing you'll need to boot the phone immediately into TWRP - if the phone boots into system, then stock recovery will get restored.

After formatting data TWRP will probably have a problem accessing the data partition. Go to the reboot menu and select reboot to recovery to reload TWRP.

Also wipe Cache (which should also wipe Dalvik. I actually just do the factory reset as it's easier in the GUI) - either before or after flashing the custom ROM

Though you may also want GApps (if the ROM doesn't have any google stuff) and Magisk

Correct
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Kkslider123:
Awesome, sounds good! I'll go through the whole process once I get back home in about a week, but I'll be sure to ping you if I have any trouble!
