[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] busybox11:
Hey

I recently bought a RN8 (International variant) to replace my old Nokia 5.

The product page claimed that the International variant has 700MHz (B28) band support.

Thing is, when I first fired up my brand new phone, 4G / LTE signal was very poor, compared to my old Nokia, which had a better coverage.

I installed NetMonster and, indeed, 700MHz was not being used.

So I waited one week to unlock and root my phone, which I did today, and wanted to use QXDM to edit the LTE bands configuration.

This is a dual sim with an additional SD card slot (so it has a total of 3 slots).

I'm trying to enable this band by editing the corresponding values with the one I generated with an app, but it didn't work, I can't get this to work.

Do you have any working tutorial for RN8, with Dual Sim card slot ?

Or, do you have any other fixes and workarounds to make that band work (and, if possible, CA) ?

Regards,

busybox
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] busybox11:
Okay,

I managed to edit the values with QXDM, but it isn't really working.

I tried everything, editing the values to 0, enabling all bands, disabling all bands, disabling only the bands I use, and nothing is working.

I don't know what to do with the "Multi SIM" checkbox, but just in case, I did the same things with this checkbox enabled.

So, I think that this NV edition isn't working, and / or the phone isn't picking it up.

If anyone faced this issue earlier, it can really help me.

I also tried DFS tool put I can't purchase it, I'm stuck with the Demo version (which, by the way, has recognized my settings on the first value, but not on the second, the one that finished by "DIV").

I also read that we can flash another phone's modem partition, if it has the same CPU / Modem (QS665 and X12 in my case), is that true ?

Thanks in advance,

busybox
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] busybox11:
I did a little research and I saw that the RN8T has the exact same hardware, except that it support 700MHz.

If anyone can backup their Modem and send it to me (preferably with OrangeFox Recovery), this will be very appreciated.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] itchydroid:
Not 100% sure about this but couldnt you extract the modem driver from willow then? If so, I believe you can download it from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/vendor/willow/

Help Band 28

Hello,I'm in Argentina and have (NON-HLOS)modem.bin from willow to flash on Gingko, what is the EFS thing you are talking about? Thank you
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] busybox11:
EFS contains the Non-Volatile (NV) memory, which has the unlocked bands list in it.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Charso:
EFS NV

Thank you busybox11 for your reply, I do now what the EFS and NV are, but was confused by the EFS "thing" you stated that you needed. I flashed note 8T NON-HLOS.bin (TWRP) but it did nothing. I can see my EFS in QPST service programming (some folders have red circle) both QPST and QXDM can "read" my phone but I can't "write" (nv_ue_imei_i---nv_readonly_s error) anything to it.... One thing I noticed in QXDM is that values in are different between LTE BC (2070174761183) and LTE BC DIV (20703078911 which shows band 28):confused: The values are from stock MIUI 11 global, I am on MIUI.EU rom now, I thought maybe it would have band 28 but I get the same values in QXDM.

Did you have any luck with this? I live in a rural area and B28 700mhz is very important! What do you think would happen if I try and flash note 8T ROM or firmware update to my note 8? Or maybe move the NV folder from 8T to my phone? Don't know if that's possible.... I don't want to hard brick my new phone..:laugh::laugh:. Maybe you or someone on this awesome community can give an idea (and tutorial!) on how to get write privileges on QPTS and QXDM!!!

Thank you again!
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] busybox11:
Same for me. I tried editing the values, took the values from a 8T phone (not from a backup), didn't work.

Tried flashing EFS from an 8T, didn't worked (though I had some bands unlocked showing up in Signal Guru, but B28 wasn't part of them).

I don't even know if I had write privileges, even though my values were edited in QXDM without any error (with AND without Multi SIM enabled), it does not seem to do anything. I tried editing the LTE bands to 0 but it didn't changed anything.

At the moment, try messing around with QXDM (Multi SIM checked or not, click write, then read, then write - it should enabled write privileges - on NV values).
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Charso:
Keep Trying

Ok,will keep trying and will post if I make any headway, let us know if anything works! I was able to see some interesting things in EFS policyman folder (device,post and restriction files) Maybe editing them? Thanks

Hello safi, I don't think flashing ROM will change modem baseband. I have global on note 8 and am also missing band 28 that note 8T has. I am trying to download or extract modem basband from 8T to flash but no luck yet...

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

Bonjour,

I am trying to upload screenshots taken from PC but it looks like I don't have permission yet.... Let me tell you that in policyman I can see global settings "460" and it shows 460-02/04/07/08 all LTE bands my carrier uses, but no B28 witch my carrier also uses. Also I can see restricted bands 6/37/40/41 for China and USA. I see a "svc_mode" says "limited", I think this is permission for service mode maybe?

Also I can't find those files in my phone with root explorer, don't know the path, I canonly see these files with qpst efs explorer inside policyman folder. I don't have acces to a note 8t I do have a ROM but can't extract it yet..I want to extract modem baseband from 8t rom to see what's different. Fingers crossed and we WILL find a way and I think enabling writing to NV with QXDM is the easiest way,no?

NOTE 8t MODEM FLASH

Update, This weekend I flashed NON-HLOS.bin from miui_WILLOWGlobal_V11.0.4.0.PCXMIXM_83916e7361_9.0.zip using the following cmd (fastboot erase modem----fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin---fastboot reboot) And even though it did not unlock Band 28 I did notice that my radio signal is better and it solved the wifi to data hand over problem. Before I had to turn off and on airplane mode (and go outside) to force data connection.

This week I might try to flash whole Willow rom 8 (if possible) and see if If that does anything. I still can't get write permissions with QPST/QXDM, I click write and says written, shows changes made when read, but no band 28.....
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] busybox11:
Oh wow! I think you actually found one of the reasons why this isn't working.

So this policyman file is only accessible via QPST EFS Explorer since it is stored in the NV partition (that's why you can't find it with root explorer).

A friend of mine (actually two) are comfortable with QPST / QXDM *AND* have a Willow (8T). I actually grabbed the QCN file from one of them, I can send it to you if you want.

I'm going to ask them if they can send me their policyman file and I'll share it here.

Thanks for the update!
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Charso:
That would be great if you could send QCN for testing! I still can't figure out why write does not work with QXDM. ( Also, QPST shows read only when trying to write) Last night had Xiaomi.eu update and it broke my phone (no audio,wifi or video calls) Maybe because of the willow NON-HLOS I flashed, TWRP results in boot loop back to TWRP when I do nandroid restore! Thanks for reply and help!

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] busybox11:

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] JavaKrypt:
Hi all,

Been out of the android scene for a while (swapped to iPhone before deciding to purchase a Mix 3 5G). One thing I remember from Android Lollipop was the album art cover filling the whole screen. MIUI doesn't seem to support this from the Googling I've seen (or Google changed this). Is there a way I can get this functionality back? From searches people say use a theme that has that, but they never say what theme has it.

Anyone have any ideas? I know it's not the end of the world but it's something I liked aesthetically.

Thanks

It's not perfect but it does the job. It's an Xposed module called custoMIUIzer. Under System > Lock Screen > Album art as wallpaper. You can also turn on the music visualiser bars under System > audio > music visualiser

Last year, I purchased one of those "all in one" entertainment units.

This is the sellers auction page: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/272979971179?ul_noapp=true

It runs windows CE6.0. Here's some of it's info:

[IMG="head unit info"]https://img.xda-cdn.com/ociDxlyJc7o_Po1TfRKQXaHFsF0=/https%3A%2F%2Fi17.servimg.com%2Fu%2Ff17%2F19%2F98%2F07%2F74%2Ffr_43213.jpg[/IMG]

I've been trying to figure out how to change the boot image. Making an image in the right colors, size and format is not a problem. But I cannot for the life of me find or figure out how to upload a boot logo/image to the unit or open an image from the firmware to know what format, size, color depth etc to make the new image in.

Right now, it has a "Chevy Bowtie" image but I would like a more Corvette specific one (it's in a 1988 Corvette). I can get into the factory settings to select from preloaded boot images, but there is no option to add a new boot image like you can with the wallpaper. I've contacted the seller and while they could give me the factory options codes, they knew of no way to upload a custom boot image.

I even have the original firmware from the seller, but it seems to be above my pay grade to figure out where the boot images are stored in the bin files.

Here's the firmware/files (it's only an image of the included files) I got from the seller:

I guess I'm just not programming savvy enough to figure it out. I can get around in an OS, but changes are something I'm very limited in knowledge about. I'm guessing i need to find a way to unpack the bin and then a way to edit it. I tried a couple things I found on the internet, but nothing seems to work to unpack the files to an interface I can use to change things. There's no way in heck I'm going to be able to edit hex, that's pretty much just all gibberish to me. I have edited in hex before, but I was following someone's directions who knew what they were doing.

Anyone venture a guess into how to find and change the boot image to a custom one?

To be clear: I can get into the factory menu options and change the boot image, I just can't upload a custom image to the radio. I can for wallpaper section, but not for boot image...

Is the battery supposed to be this bad? it lasts day max!

this is bad bad!!

i have removed td flo from home and installed NOGPRS which diables wap, gprs etc etc, disabled phone pad with adv config, changed backlight settings and most thigns that can cause the phone to drain more battery

but for the phone the phone to need recharging everyday is not on at all! what about if you stay at someones house or have a heavy day on te the phone or whatever

my compact 2 lasted a whole week!!!!!! my compact 3/artemis lasted 2 days and now and newer model lasts a day?>??!!! my god this is ridiculous.

my k850i has the same sized batery and lasts a week FULL use!!! what are htc doing?????

all this technology and they honstly cant make a darn battery last??

has anyone found out a way to make it last atleast 2 days with moderate usage? say an hour of phone calls, 10 texts, 10 mins using calendar,and downloading a few emails??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PaulusUK:
Yes .... turn the phone off at night ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Starflake:
I agree that the battery time is worthless. But comparing to the other phones you mentioned there, HTC Touch Diamond has much better hardware spec. Maybe the batteries had a few more mAh in those Compaq phones?

Regarding the k850i it has a 930mAh battery (Diamond has 900mAh), and you can't really compare a smartphone with a 'standard' phone as the k850i.

I have seen batteries for the Diamond at 1340mAh to 2200mAh. Maybe you can take a look at one of those? Of course, your Diamond will be a few mm thicker. But maybe you can live with that?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] patterns:
Starflake, thats a really good idea il check those batteries out now.

your right i dont really want the phone to be thicker, but what the hell, 1 day is just a joke, im sorry, htc should seriously pull their fingers out! a phone that opnly lasts a day, isnt that smart!!!! even the iphone lasts longer!!!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Starflake:
I couldn't agree more. At least they could have delivered the Diamond with the same battery as the Touch Pro will have (1340mAh).

I have problems getting the battery to last even 24 hours. And I don't even use the phone as much as I did the first week.

I'm used to charge the batteries every night since i had my SE P1i. So I wasn't really very much surprised over the Diamonds battery performance.

It helps much to not have wlan, bt and 3g on all the time.

Hello, I have a somewhat odd issue, so please bear with me and I apologize in advance for the long post.

I have a Google Pixel 2XL that began flashing at the lock screen. After about 30 flashes it restarts and says it can not load the android system. Here is a youtube video with the exact problem I'm having I can't post an outside link but if you search "NLrI6bIsTNM" on youtube it will come up.

I'm honestly not worried about the phone itself, but am looking for a way to save my photos and other possible data before wiping and/or sending in for replacement. My father recently passed away and my last pictures of us are on there as well as pictures from my engagement overseas etc. Pictures NOT backed up on google photos.

Though I do have USB debugging turned on, the bootloader is locked on this phone, so I can not get into ADB recovery mode to pull my data off the phone. I can only get into ADB sideload and ADB fastboot which of course don't allow me to push/pull. I did sideload the newest version of tainmen to no avail.

My thought was to see if it was possible to remove the 64GB UFS memory chip which is soldered on the logic board and to solder it to an identical logic board I will purchase which already has the bootloader unlocked, then with the phone back together I can use ADB recovery mode to pull my data off the phone.

I have a local mobile repair tech who does micro soldering but I'm not sure this is even feasible, I have 2 major worries:

A: The bootloader is stored in the memory chip and not the RAM hence will just transplant my problem from one logic board to another

and

B: Does the memory chip have anything that ties it specifically to my logic board

I know I'm grasping at straws but I appreciate any info or help that I can get. Thank you if you made it this far reading! Stay safe everyone!

I have a new Note 8 Pro 6Gb Ram & 64GB, unopened.

However I have seen that I can now get the Redmi note 9S 4GB RAM (on promo) for the same price. The question should I order the 9S and return this one.

What is important for me is battery life, display quality and custom rom support. Overall Performance should be 'smooth' but I'm no gamer, just play the odd game.

Oh the size is important, I don't want anything too big. Just holding the Note 8 Pro, I am already thinking its already maybe abit too big. The 9S adds a couple more mm.

I guess future custom rom support for the 9S should be very good, it looks like it will be a big seller and having a Snapdragon CPU probably means more choice of custom roms ?

Any thoughts ?
