[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] overcustom:
Hi guys.

My mi 10 has miui 12 installed.

I've turned off unlock icon when screen is off, but pressing on unlock zone still unlock the phone (not a problem btw).

I've noticed that sometimes, when I unlock my phone when screen is off, I have some strange flickering on home screen.

3-4 vertical lines appear on the screen, just for 0.2seconds, and then they disappear.

This thing doesn't happen on other apps etc, only when I'm on home screen.

Is it a known bug?

Hi everyone.

So I've been with this question in my mind for some time now... Are they really unbrickable? I have a ZTE Blade L3 on which flashed infinite times ROMs on it. Some completely bricked it - it couldn't even charge. It has a MT6582M processor on it. It was COMPLETELY bricked. And I always got it to work again. Never bricked it for good - and I did many stupid things on it, many experiments. And after a bit, SP Flash Tool would always flash stuff back to it even by flashing wrong ROMs on it.

I also believe I flashed a wrong ROM to a friend's Elephone P8000 B which has a MT6753 processor on it. I thought I had bricked it (this is why I think I flashed a wrong ROM on it) - but SP Flash Tool got back working after a few tries. I did what I wanted with the phone and it didn't brick.

So my thought is that ANY device with a MediaTek chipset with a ROM and a scatter file available and an always unlocked bootloader (preferably - as my Blade L3 had, I believe - since I never heard of this until weeks ago), might be unbrickable. I, supposedly, can do whatever I want on it and I'll always be able to unbrick it.

Is this true what I just wrote? If it is, then I'll try to never leave MediaTek powered devices.

Note:

A thread confirmed this thought I had for some time until I found this thread, but it only says it about MT65xx devices, not all the others: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1943442 --> "Added on Nov 23, 2012 - MT65xx is truly UNBRICKABLE".

Note 2:

Also....... After now reading back a bit of the thread, I found out I did exactly ALL the opposite they recommend there in caps and the phone always unbricked....... XD. So I'm a bit confused with all the careful people are about MediaTek powered devices when I was not careful (stupidly, I know), though it always worked. I have the phone since 2015 and stopped using it last year, but I believe I did the opposite of those things, even though I'm not completely sure. And again, never permanently bricked.

Thank you for any informations!

I'm not going to lie to you, your probably not going to get any other replies to the book you wrote above... I will answer your question however. There is not a single mobile device out there that cannot be unbricked as long as the issues that occurred to cause said brick remains at the software level. It don't matter what brand or carrier it is. If it is a software related issue then it can be fixed as long as you have the knowledge and tools required to do so. As for your experimentation using root, I have done many experiments myself and there are many many things you can do using root that will permanently brick your device. Sounds to me like you got lucky. Simple as that. I'll end this by saying, please do not post your entire relationship with your favorite phone in a single thread like you did. Nothing personal but many probably did not stay long enough to finish what you wrote. You have a valid question. However the rest was just unnecessary and to many, a waste of their time. Hope I helped.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edw590:
Hi. I didn't even remember about this anymore. This last year I was told I write too much unnecessary things - just like you did. I've been trying to correct that and I believe I improved (no idea if much or not). When you said "the book you wrote" I got embarassed in advance because I knew what was going next, and when I scrolled up I got scared and even more embarassed and it's still increasing as I think more about it 😄. Christ, how did I even post that. I'm very sorry........ I guess we learn as time goes by.... (hopefully haha). Hopefully now it's good enough. If it's still bad, I'll be happy to receive the advice, as I am with the one you gave. Thank you. For everything you said, actually.

Spoiler content hidden.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tofor:
My intent was not to embarass you. I apologize. I should have checked the date this was originally posted. I do hope i was able to answer your question though. That was my true intent.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edw590:
Ah no problem at all. Gotta be corrected in some way 😄. That happens with me when I see an enormous stupidity made by me which I did not realize at the time - and this one is 5 months old, which puts it worse haha.

That shall work so I won't forget of not doing this again in the far future xD. Before, some people would tell me about and I'd notice it was a wall of text (like once a person told me). And I appreciate all those who warned me about it. Sooner or later I'll get to a decent amount of text, depending on the forum. I think I didn't know what a paragraph was, as a start xD (though, what you saw there was already an update....). It's still a big post, I think, but hopefully it's readable now. If it's not, I'll cut more of it.

But yes, you did answer the question. Thank you. But to complement it, if you remember, at least, what experiments with root can completely brick a phone? (So I know I won't try them, as a start, but it's also a curiosity.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tofor:
Well a good example of some things not to do is changing the system files to allow the device to operate at a level it was not designed to operate at. For example. Messing with the kernel to make the processor run at a higher speed, same goes for the RAM. This will cause it to overheat and will basically fry the system board. Also if you are not sure what you are changing then dont change them. Nothing like accidently changing the EFI settings to where it no longer knows where the internal storage addresses are and does not know it has any type of storage to boot to. However a lot of the efi should be copywrite protected where even a root user cannot modify them but trust me... its possible and may still be repairable but only by the manufacturer who has that level of access and definitely not worth what it would cost. Keep an eye on any files you modify for a copywrite at the top of the file. Changing copywrite files will most likely get you in a whole lot of trouble. If you end up having a web adress listed in the build.prop on every android device you own that brings you to the developers terms and conditions then stop messing with system files. This is more or less a warning telling you that you are breaking the terms and conditions. I would libe to continue but then i would be contridicting myself on my comment about very large messages in the forums. If you would like to know anything else please feel free to PM me and lets put an end to this thread lol.

Guys, speaking of devices with MT chipset, I have a Hannspad HSG1341 that was running Android 5.1 and wanted to root the pad using some tutorial I saw with magisk by installing the APK on this device which creates a modified boot.img. Then using SP Flash Tool I tried to reinstall the stock firmware by replacing the boo.img created by magisk and now the pad would not power on, I have tried searching for means to restore this pad but nothing. Even SP flash tool is now displaying s_ft_enable_dram failed (4032). So please off anyone has any idea how to resolve or is the pad dead for good. The chipset is MT8163. Let me know if you need more info to help out

thanks

I have an American S6 Lite; I'm stuck in boot loop after applying APAOSP and APLineage from the other threads listed here.

Are there working vanilla Android 10 ROMs for this device?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Locane:
I followed the TWRP instructions here https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytabs6qcomlte.html and now my device is stuck in failed download mode, I can't get to the recovery menu and I can't even power it off.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Iceman66:
No worries, that happened to me too.

Download stock-firmware for your device from Samsung (i use website samfrew.com), install "Patched Odin 3.14.1 3b" (you can Google it), connect the table with your PC, select the .tar file with AP and flash the firmware.

It worked for me, even with the tablet in stuck download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] gauthamrgramalingam:
The recovery you are trying to use is tailored for Tab S6 LTE and not Tab S6 Lite (they are completely different models). The Tab S6 Lite uses Exynos Chipset. There is no TWRP recovery yet for the Tab S6 Lite.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Locane:
That explains a lot.

The other builds for this device don't work for mine - is there one that does? I'm just trying to get the tablet to work faster and more responsive by removing samsung bloatware BS.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Locane:
I managed to get the device back and flash the stock ROM from https://cqa.samfrew.com/088d597e02a...87762249b/XAR-P610XXU2ATH5-20200814174401.zip

There was a lot of screwing with it due to power loss - since the screen was on constantly, I had to flash the stock rom bootloader (BL) using Odin with a USB port directly connected to the back of my computer since it provided the voltage necessary. It stopped showing me the broken download screen and started flickering boot looping again, where I plugged it in to a charger and let it set. It showed the power display (that it was charging) and I let it get to 100%.

After the stock rom was on and loading, I tried to flash Lineage again, but now I'm getting "Only stock roms are allowed to be flashed to the device". Googling around - it says I can only flash the stock rom? Forever? How do I unlock this?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Linux4:
I think you need to go through stock rom setup again and re-enable OEM unlock (also happened to me once)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Locane:
Thanks, I thought this too - the option is completely missing from the developer options. Like it's not even listed.

The OEM download lock is still disabled, since I can flash things at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Linux4:
You need to wait 7 days, or manually set the time to a date a month back then the OEM unlock Option should appear again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Locane:
Turning off Wifi and automatic time and setting the date back or forward 1+ months didn't bring the option up.

I had to turn on and connect to wifi and let automatic time recognize that it has indeed been 7 days before the OEM option re-appeared. :'(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jhill110:
WiFi is a must before setting the time back if your device is not 7 days old.

Then it was probably a mistake to buy this mobile phone. Very expensive, unsafe fingerprint sensor, average camera and bad battery. Now mirrorlink is also missing. I will probably have to swap Samsung for another brand again.

The only issue is that Google backup and restore is not working and Google Location History is not working. The rest all work fine, Google Pay, maps, play store, etc. on the stock china miui 12 rom of course.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] sabot00:
Oops, had a typo. Meant to ask:

How come the Mi 10 Ultra passes but the P40 Pro does not (despite both phones coming without GMS preinstalled)? Neither phone is officially available outside China, so I doubt Xiaomi took the time to Google Certify the Mi 10 Ultra. Where does certification come from?
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] phibersg:
P40 Pro does not come with GMS pre-installed thanks to Trump.

Trump has banned Google from exporting software and licenses to Huawei, so huawei is legally not allowed to install GMS in their OS, even if not activated.

The last Huawei phone with GMS pre-installed is the P30 Pro.

P40 Pro is also available outside China in many regions with HMS instead.

On the other hand, MIUI comes with GMS pre-loaded inside all their China ROMs as well and also Google certified.

It's just not activated, and even if you activate it in China, it will not work due to the Great China Firewall blocking all GMS.

But once the phone is out of China, that's a different story, we just need to install Play Store and all GMS get activated auto-magically.

Some features are not working great as the China rom still have some tiny blocks, notably Google Location History and Backup and Restore.

So that mean i can install latest Netflix from play store is it?
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] adampa1006:
I'm not seeing Netflix. I see Amazon and Hulu. Just got the phone tonight.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] sabot00:
If a license from Google to Huawei is all that's required. Why don't they just work around it? Can't Google just release the blob of GMS (I understand releasing the source is probably not a good idea) as freeware that doesn't require a license?

Also, what does Xiaomi use in China if not GMS or HMS?

Netflix absolutely works. Someone who said it doesn't either doesn't know about side loading or did something wrong. You just have to download the apk from somewhere other than the play store. Works fine.

I haven't got the 10 Ultra yet. The phone doesn't work with Google Location History, does it at least use location services so when taking a photo it records the location, and if using an App it geo locates addresses etc?

Hi.

My friends I have a big problem with bluetooth in PX3 android 7.1.2 malaysk xrc 2.45a - kld mod. My original mcu is xrc 2.45a but I change fm tuner, then I must change mcu to normally work. My bluetooth chip sd-968 was dead, that I replaced it with bc6 (I have an option to change to bc8 because I bought both chips). Currently, despite changes to the factory setting bt chip, bluetooth does not work at all. It does not detect any devices, searches for a long time, does not determine the device name. Is there any chance to upload some modified firmware to make this bluetooth work? maybe other mcu will handle this changed fm and bluetooth tuner? Or maybe there will be more chances if I change bt to bc8? I am asking for help in solving the problem. ps. I am able to handle more complicated activities with the system if I get the manual :)

and question number 2, is it possible to use bluetooth via usb? because after connecting bluetooth, the external one is not detected.

Been following this site for weeks and it is getting more popular eacha nd every time someone buys a Diamond phone, so keep up the good work.

I have finally decided to see what I can do with mine by upgrading the ROM and I would appriciate any advice you guys can give me as i am a totally newbie.

Here are the details:

It is on T-Mobile (UK)

Version -

1.37.110.3 WWE

06/20/08

1.00.25.03

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Monty Burns:
Hello there!

Not sure what you mean by upgrading the rom? Guess you mean applying a cooked rom?

A cooked rom is one thats been customised and is flashed over the top of your current rom, in your case probably a "stock" or out of the box/factory rom.

First thing to do in your case would be to upgrade the Radio. You may well need to run the HardSPL (I needed developer edition) and then apply the radio upgrade.

From then on, its up to you which cooked rom you run as they all have advantages and disadvantages. For example, im running the Diamond TLR rom as I don't like touchflo (i think its a gimmick that slows things down - drasticaly). Using this rom i'm able to uninstall touchflo and free up significant memory. This suits me down to the ground but not those who want to use touchflo! :D

Take a look at the wiki (mostly) and the Rom development sub-section of this Diamond section of the forums. As long as you follow the Wiki instructions on HardSPL and then use a rom specifically for a touch diamond, you should be fine.

Be very carefull though and DOUBLE check everything, one wrong flash program and you can destroy your phone.

Have fun! :cool:

p.s. Many people think that the factory 1.37.xx roms are the most stable, even more than the later versions. I'm running a TLR based 1.37something and I am very happy with it and never have to reboot my phone.

Got it....Its all here :D
