[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Lokcies:
Hi, this is my first time flashing custom rom on my Mi 9 SE, though i had experience from my previous devices.

Just asking to be sure, i would need to have TWRP flashed first right? And is there any other necessary tools that i need to flash, like firmware or anything?

And what do you mean by having firmware 11.0.2.0?

EDIT: I understand on the firmware question, i will have to flash 11.0.2.0 firmware, got it. But what is the flashing order?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sacortesh:
Hi all,

Thanks for the work!

Somehow due to my inexperience I managed to softbrick my device (stuck at fastboot, fixable by reflashing miui image). So I have a couple of questions:

1. I am going from firmware 11.0.2.0 Europe (QFBEUXM). Does this require to start from another version of the firmware (Global for example)

2. The kernel needs to be flashed separately? Or is it included in the flash package.

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gran_lexu:
Yes, you need to have custom TWRP (SHRP reocommended) wipe dalvik/cache/data/vendor/system, flash 11.0.2 and then flash rom and magisk

No it doesnt matter. Just flash twrp.img from adb and then required wipes, flash 11.0.2 + rom + magisk

kernel is already included.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] chris5s:
Do you have a link for the required firmware?

Peace
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sacortesh:
Tried once more and didn't work (still stuck at fastboot). However, reading somewhere else I found out that when you come from a MIUI Rom (like stock) to AOSP you might need to flash also vbmeta. Tried that and it worked correctly.

So far no problems, great performance.

Ahhh! Though you did all the previous steps, yeah you have to make a few things coming from MIUI obviously! :D

Could you write down the order of flashing that you used.

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] chris5s:
Nice ROM, smooth. The only minor "fault" I find is that fingerprint recognition for unlocking the phone isn't great. I usually have to put in the PIN code to unlock. I had this issue on Pixel Experience too. But otherwise all's good.

Peace

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------

This worked for me - factory reset, format data, reboot recovery, flash firmware then flash ROM (as per first post!)

Peace
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] zbiba:
My flashing order when coming from stock MIUI 11.

1. Of course first unlock bootloader.

2. Flash TWRP from [MENTION=5226122]redispade[/MENTION]

3. Format Data from TWRP

4. Reboot to TWRP

5. Wipe dalvik/cache/data/vendor/system

6. Copy the ROM and firmware zip files to internal storage.

7. Flash the firmware zip

8. Flash the ROM zip

9. Reboot (it won't reboot to ROM, it will be stuck at flashboot)

10. Connect to the PC and from cmd flash vbmeta (fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img)

11. From cmd type the command "fastboot reboot" and finger's crossed, now you should see the boot screen.

As far as I remember this is what I did. I tried to recall it as much as I could however it was 4 in the morning.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] K_Project:

I've used for 2 days and i've noticed that the screen is really glitchy. the display scroll is not perfectly fluid. anyone else have noticed that?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] shephart:
Unluckily, after 2 days, my phone started to reboot every 4-7 hours. Dunno what to do because this is a first rom that impress me as non stock on this MI9 SE, because others doesnt perform like this one, unlikely :(. This port just works! There is some mess with fingerprint but I recommend you to use face-recognition instead, it works faster :). Waiting for propositions/fixes what to do there.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] zbiba:
I've been having the same problem, the phone reboots twice or three times a day.

Hopefully it will be solved in the upcoming update.

Hello, FP has its hardware limitations, it just "works", however I could try to improve it.

Use FKM apk and use high performance profile.

Hello guys, I was pretty sure this issue was solved... Are you guys using 1.03 with 11.0.2 FW?

Xiaomi f***ed blobs and custom roms are having issues right now... I hope they release new blobs sooner than later.

New big update is coming soon.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gran_lexu:
No, you have to flash vmeta, fw, etc...
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gran_lexu:
Yeah, those blobs are acting weirdly, as I sad almost ALL grus roms are getting random reboots.

AOSPA devs are almost on RC phase. That means that "Release Candidate" status is closer.

Just a note for dirtyflashers:

I had to reflash GAPPS as well in order to get it working, otherwise I was stuck in bootloop.

Bootloop in recovery even with format data then YES.

Not able to install other rom, always reboot in recovery. Problem with your rom. My phone is brick now.

Have to use Miflash......
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gran_lexu:
Its TWRP fault or either your fault man. I bet TWRP, do you think It makes sense that no other ROM worked? Please do a logical thinking before blaming on just a piece of the puzzle...

What makes more sense, that a ROM just messed Up your entre system or that maybe grus has some bugged TWRPs that doesnt work properly (which is the cause that Manu people is having bootlops on almost every grus rom).

Remember: FORMAT DATA + ALL WIPES, REBOOT INTO RECOVERY AGAIN.

AND USE SHRP FROM 01/03 PLEASE!!!!

Dont blame the rom, always ask before talk... And please always check Telegram support groups.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] pikouchou:
I use the same flash method between your quartz-3 and quartz-3.01 and no problem, the rom boot normaly. Just audio problem with bluetooth.

Why the phone goes bootloop in recovery when flash 3.02 over 3.01 ?

I used SHRP_v2.2_grus-152919052020.zip since many weeks without problem.

I flash many custom roms since I have my grus and it's the first time I have to use Miflash to unbrick my phone.

I don't think it's SHRP fault or my fault.

Go back to blissrom.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gran_lexu:
A Guy told me the same but after using 01/03 he solved the issue.

You can Also use redispade TWRP
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] pikouchou:
The strange thing is flashing quartz-3 and quartz-3.01 without bootloop ans then bootloop with quartz-3.02.

I see an other version of quartz-3.02-unofficial1. What is changelog ?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gran_lexu:
Same changelog, different zip.

I advise you to use SHRP either TWRP by redispade, but you should join our Telegram group [MENTION=1634518]ParanoidAndroid[/MENTION]grus just in case you have any issue :cyclops:

Anyone having an issue with sound on 3.02? Some apps (tested on Instagram and YouTube) when I lower the volume to minimum, there is still sound coming out.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] tostep:
I think there is no necessity in Screen OC, because:

I've installed Paranoid Android Quartz 4 (vanilla version) with MicroG, and ROM works very well. Vanilla version does not contain some apps - Messaging, Browser, Camera, Calculator. And I think this is great, because you can install apps, which you like. :good:

Thanks for your ROM!

Hi,

I need to install microg but I cannot get it to work. I tried 3 different ways without success: microg repo on fdroid, flash nanodroid zip, and install magisk microg module.

All self-check checkboxes are ticked, all permissions are ok. I just had to run adb shell pm grant com.android.vending android.permission.FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE to validate phonesky signature checkbox.

But every GSF dependent app (like whatsapp) is crashing at launch. They weren't crashing without microg.

Also I cannot login at google in microg: it crashes at the "Just a sec... google is connecting" screen after entering my credential.

I used SHRP and installed FW 11.0.2.0 + BB 11.0.3.4 like explained in this thread.

After that i try to install oeminfo from a custom after than the phone doesn't start to boot to the EMUI.

I tried to install a custom Frimware with DC Unlocker.....Finished but the phone have no OS.

At his momet i the Phoe is FPR unlocked and Bootloader unlocked

Tthe Internal Storage Shows 0 MM and Cust 495MB in TWRP

I have access to TWRP and to FastBoot.

What can i do to fix that and to install the C432 or for example CyanogenMod or LineageOS.

Thx
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Dadditz:
Hello dude, :)

so you want to REBRAND your phone..

You can do this but you need some files and a correct procedure...

First you need to use a working TWRP, so download and use 3.1.1-1 version...

Check DATA partition, it should be ext4, if not, convert it and format it.

To rebrand you need correct L31C432oem.zip single/dual sim file (depend on your phone)

and need a correct L31C432 single/dual sim firmware.

You have to use a correct procedure you can find here into xda, just search

how to rebrand... or.... take a look into my posts....

To flash a custom rom, just follow the steps suggested in each thread...

Let me know if you need particular help and if i can i will help you...

Cheers ;)

I think i must Flash with twrp because i have no OS in this moment on this phone.

thx
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Dadditz:
Hey, i am glad to help other users.. :D

About twrp, i would use 3.1.1-1 by HassanMirza01, just to stay safe...

So download and install it from HERE.

Do your backups and delete all safeties first... (fingerprints/pattern/pin)

Visit THIS thread, post #15 that's literally the same files and procedure as yours.

Hi

Equalizer is a very good feature but I miss one thing. I use wired and wireless earbuds. They have different bass strength and when equalizer in on one of them have too strong bass. Switching turn on and off the equalizer is very uncomfortable.

Is there a possibility to add profiles to equalizer that switches automatically depending on earbuds uses like this:

1. no earbuds - profle 1

2. wired earbuds - profile 2 << I think there is a possibility to determine it since android shows an icon in notification bar

3. bluetooth device - profile for each device

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] tusenkonstnar:
All since I got my watch active 2 during the automn 2019 the puilse measurement has been extremely unreliable. I have tried a total reset of the watch and also been hoping that there is a SW error that will be fixed in next firmware update (but there ARE no updates).

I have also read on the web and experimented with where on the wrist to carry the watch. Nothing helps. During sleep it often gives "OK" readings and most of the times also if I watch TV or work at the office. However. part of the whole idea of having a "Galaxy watch ACTIVE 2" is to use it during training and as a fitness tracker. A few examples from the last 48 hours.

1) Watches TV and I know that the pulse is somewher between 55 and 70. All of a sudden during a period of maybee 10 minutes the watch says my pulse is around 140.

2) At the gym. Doing squats (5 repetitions/set). The watch gives a max pulse of 210 bpm (real valute is somewhere between 100 and 120).

3) Goes and to some hight intensity interval training, real pulse 170 -180 in the peaks and in bestween 150 - 160. Watch says 82 - 94. AFTER doing the interval training when stretchingh the watch all of a sudden (this is 5 minutes later) starts to say 150- 160 as pulse but by then the real pulse is around 80.

The real measurements above is measured both by "pulse-band" around my chest and with the cycle (samre readings) and that is also what a manual count shows.

SO: The watch gives sometimes MORE than 100% error which make "pulse zones" completely useless. IT also adds an extra dimension of uselessness that it is not even consequent in the way that a higher reading corresponds to a higher actual pulse.

Question:

Are your GWA2's equally useless when it comes to measuring pulse during activity?
