[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Matty Watty:
just think about all of their users / customers who have no idea about what are ADB, EDL,TWRP, etc etc...who don't know how to change active partition or reflash the entire phone....in other words, people who expect the phone they paid for to actually work.

I bought android one phone out of curiosity. I am most definitely never going to buy chinese crap again

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Matty Watty:
look...thanks for the effort and attempt to help...but I simply don't care any more. I am on 11.0.7 and spent countless hours in the past months fixing and fighting errors that morons from Xiaomi should have fixed before they rolled out any update. Keeping this phone until the battery starts failing, then it goes straight to the trash bin. As someone said before...f**k Xiaomi.

Can you share me free RAM memory on your devices ?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] ema93a:
- Web browsers like chrome keep freezing for me, this update didn't fix it.

- Direct share is still not available when sharing anything.

-Poor RAM management, apps on background close even on 4GB RAM model.

-"Customize your pixel" message is still present on settings main page.

-I'm sure other people face other issues.

I'm really tired of xiaomi, how can we pressure them? Taking legal action? Taking to social media? Who can be our voice?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] quasarx:
Does anybody really believe that Xiaomi would do anything more than just integrating the standard security fixes from Google into their updates for the old Android One series? Does anybody really think that they spend their resources on fixing some non-critical bugs or performing some major optimizations on a more than two year old entry-level phone?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] techieboy2020:
Hello! Hoping someone can help and guide me in fixing my A2's bootloop. I already searched many forums online, but still no luck.

I flashed a permissiver_v5.zip in Evolution X Rom hoping that it will solve the random reboots, and I got bootloop. I successfully flashed the July stock rom through Miflash, hoping to boot into system, but still bootloop. I flashed the stock firmware and persist zip too in TWRP, but I also got mount persist error. I also need to use fastboot boot twrp.img to get into Twrp since it will disappear after clicking reboot recovery. I tried EDL, but then I got not enough storage error in Miflash.

Hopefully somebody can help me with steps!

LATEST UPDATE:

With the help of KevMetal, I can now use my phone after a week of being hardbricked. At first, my device can't boot to the bootloader or recovery, so what I did was to press the volume down and power button for some time and my phone was detected by the PC. So my device booted to EDL by itself, no need to open the phone. Then I used the 2018 version of MiFlash Tool and flashed the V.10.0.17 of stock Pie ROM from here: https://xdaforums.com/mi-...-t3824849/amp/

After that, I flashed the persist.zip provided by KevMetal (browse in this thread) in recovery since I can't sideload the zip, and it worked fine. I then booted to system and finally there was no bootloop.

I then noticed that the IMEI was gone, so I tried to fix through some guides online but this one worked for me. https://medium.com/@shekhawatkoki/fi...1-2ed533548d32
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
you are messing up ..stop ..

1.boot into fastboot

2. flash stock rom with miflash

3. boot back to fastboot

4. download orange fox or pitch black recovery that actually supports persist flashing

5. join global mi a2 telegram group download relevant persist like if mi a2 or mi x6 and on android 9 or 10

6. put it in adb folder

7. boot recovery ( don't flash)

8. in recovery activate sideload adb option

9. in command window run :adb sideload persist.zip ( persist must have this name in adb folder )

10. now reboot your phone

*in the beginning it will bootloop four or five times ..just leave it

***suddenly your phone will be back to new

***stop flashing permissver and other crap
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] techieboy2020:
Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate it. I admit that I am really wrong in flashing that permissiver zip. I just hoped that it will solve my random reboot issue, from this tutorial: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...BMAB6BAgCEAE&usg=AOvVaw2suOu9rYeTps71AvKuZbrA

So now, I already downloaded OrangeFox-R10.1_1-Stable-jasmine_sprout.zip for recovery and persist_restorer_6x.zip from the Telegram group, which is universal persist according to them.

But I just have some questions:

1. Do I need to wipe both a and b in recovery or use command fastboot -w before flashing the stock ROM?

2. After flashing stocK ROM in Miflash tool, it will start to boot to system, but in this case, bootloop, so am I right to press buttons to forcibly go to bootloader?

3. For #7 (boot to recovery), this means fastboot boot recovery.img?

4. For #9, if adb sideload doesn't work, can I flash persist in recovery instead?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
no install stock using miflash but don't wipe anything ..for this to work well don't install the recovery ..just boot

fastboot boot recovery.img

then using the adb sideload option you can flash the zip from your computer without decryting the internal storage

you can flash magisk the same way ..then you will have stock rooted with persist restored but without custom recovery and your device will remain encrypted ..

if you want custom recovery and install custom rom you can wipe and install but for stock don't do it ..flash persist and magisk from adb sideload without decrypting

2.yeah enter bootloader / fastboot with power button and volume button

4. it will work if done correctly ...if you want to flash from internal storage you will have to wipe and format data to decrypt internal syorage
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] techieboy2020:
Thank you again.

I tried adb sideload before but was stuck at 0%, I missed something. I'll update here for the result once I can be back to PC.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] techieboy2020:
Thank you again.

I tried adb sideload before but was stuck at 0%, I maybe missed something. I'll update here for the result once I can be back to PC.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
ok yeah must be a mistake ..

do you understand that first you enter fastboot and boot the orange fox recovery ..only then you start the adb ..

BUT REMember first you need to toggle or activate adb from orange fox recovery (maybe you forgot this ? )

another thing it is very slow so wait very long

another thing the zip you want to flash must be in the adb folder and have the name you use

so

rename persist to persist.zip and put it in adb folder ..then put magisk zip and rename to magisk.zip :

adb sideload persist.zip

adb sideload magisk.zip
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
here is a photo where you need to activate adb
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] techieboy2020:
I need to wait more, I think. Before this thread, I tried to adb sideload in TWRP but it took somewhat long and still 0%, so I just cancelled since I ran out of time.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] techieboy2020:
Regarding persist.zip, I am now confused because I asked in the group if the file persist_restorer_6x.zip is universal (either pie or 10, wayne or jasmine), they said yes, and another one said no. I searched in the group and found persist_restorer_a2.zip. I checked both files and they have the same filesize and contents.

So is there a thing like a universal persist for a2/6x, either for pie or 10? Or like what you said, only relevant persist depending on the os and device?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
it is the same device.. so it is cross compatible ..it might just give an error if it checks the build prop ..obviously flash the A2..pie or q will just maybe be updated version or not but bettrr to flash corresponding if it exists
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] techieboy2020:
I see. I can't access my PC yet, but what if I still got bootloop after trying those steps, what must I do next? I'm worried for step #10.

Regarding the persist.zip, can you please check the zips below? The two have the same filesize and files inside, so maybe the two are just the same.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
those are empty and won't work ..use this

https://www.dropbox.com/s/mimt4go8fert44c/persist good.zip?dl=0
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] techieboy2020:
Ok thank you so much. Will try this tomorrow.

Regarding the state of my device, I can't boot to system because of bootloop. If I press power and volume +, I got no command. If I press power and volume -, fastboot mode. My device's bootloader is already unlocked, and can be detected through fastboot.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
you don't need to boot to system ...just boot the revovery and flash the zip ..
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] techieboy2020:
Got it. So the zip is compatible for either Pie or Android 10?

What's the best version for Miflash tool? I tried the newer version but it can't detect my device, and only the older version can detect. But it seems that the older version can't be trusted also since I still got persist error before.

For #10, my device will bootloop 4 to 5 times. So will it automatically turn off and on again until it will successfully boot? How long does it normally boot?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] techieboy2020:
UPDATE:

UPDATE:

So I flashed the Pie Rom (V.10.0.17.0) in the MiFlash Tool (v. 2016.04.01.0) and the flashing was successful. The device turned on and only remained at the Android One logo and turned off again. This repeated for another time and I then forced my device to fastboot mode through the buttons. I then flashed the latest Orange Fox Recovery and it was successful. Now, I checked the recovery and persist can't be mounted (can't put a check on the box), but I still continued to adb sideload mode. The sideloading for persist.zip started, but was stuck at 10%. I waited more and decided to disconnect and try to flash the zip on the device instead. I checked the active slot and it was b, so I thought changing to a will be able to mount persist. I thought that if I remain at b, I will still get mount persist error. I clicked "boot to recovery" and the screen turned off. After a while, the screen remained off and I tried to use the button combinations, and the screen was totally black (no fastboot, logo, animation, or even some light, etc). It's completely black, but I noticed that the device was still hot after a few minutes. I connected my device to the PC again and the MiFlash tool detected my device as Com10. I flashed the rom again but the flashing was not successful. I tried to uninstall the drivers and still, there is no hope for reflashing the rom (it's now detected as com4). If I try to use power combinations, the PC will make sounds like when you connect/ disconnect a device, meaning, my phone can still be detected by my PC. So is there still a hope for my phone?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
all of this couldn't happen if you only flashed permissiver ..what rom did you previously flash in slot b

anyway doesn't matter ..boot to fastboot with buttons ..boot ..NOT FLASH orange fox recovery

do all wipes

format data

install custom rom

install magisk

install persist

reboot to other standby slot ..

do all wipes

format data

install custom rom

install magisk

install persist

then reboot and phone will boot

use a latest custom rom Q with gapps included ....

follow all the instructions ..not only some ..don change them ..if it fails message me with screenshot

but the 10% problem over usb is a hardware , computer or most likely cable problem ..get a new cable ..or maybe you changed or damaged your screen improperly ..

anyway try the above

also download the most newest copy of miflash and use that to install drivers and flash if you want to flash stock and flash the latest stock amdroid ..

if your phone doesn't go into fastboot it is cos it is bricked in edl mode ..so flash latest stock with latest miflash ..

THEN FLASH PERSIST BY ONLY BOOTINGBrecovery

did you try to convert this A2 to Wayne amd triggered arb ? that could be why flashing stock pie goes to edl mode
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Aerobatic:
Just FYI:

Since 10.0.2.0 till now I thought that persist.img is version-insensitive, as I flashed persist.img taken from 8.1 ROM into couple of versions of 9.0 without any problems (via my method published in "Guides...").

Last week I noticed that compass is "showing south", and tried to flash various versions of persist.img into active 11.0.12.0 - and was surprised to encounter "white screen of eternal booting" with non-native version of persist.img. So finally had to flash persist.img taken from 11.0.12.0 fastboot ROM image.

(Btw, my problem with compass seems to have 2 sides -1st is somewhat very big deviation at homeplace, and 2nd is that only 1st magnetic sensor is being calibrated while second magnetic sensor is not being calibrated by means I used).
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] techieboy2020:
So I was able to use another laptop, and I managed to install adb, drivers, and MiFlash Tool. The 2018 version can now detect my phone, and I can now at least boot into fastboot. But my flashing is still not successful because I got stuck at system.img. The laptop freezes and I already tried to free up space in C: drive.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wulffez:
Hey! Does the rear cover from XDA Diamond (from O2) fit on a normal touch diamond? If so, where can I get it? Searched for it but no ressult! Because I aint to happy with a shiney rear cover!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Bliblub:
No it doesnt. Different plastic connectors.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dajudge01:
What? So you're saying HTC makes a different phone frame just for O2?!?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Deleted member 368662:
The O2 XDA is just a standard Touch Diamond with O2 written on the front, thats it.

Maybe you're confused with the HTC Victor, the version Tmobile sells with a flat back.

Bliblub, check your facts or people will make bad decisions based on them.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Bliblub:
No its definitly not a normal Diamond just with XDA written on the Front. The back is completly different. Also the HTC Back will Definitly NOT fit on the XDA phone!

XDA Diamond will also get an extra backcover with the new improved Battery.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] qoobeq:
Where did you get that information from?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Bliblub:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Black93300ZX:
www.telusmobility.com

CDMA version, beefed up battery, matte black back cover... The reason for the different shape in the rear is to account for the bigger battery. Oh, and check out that price... $149.99! Don't you wish you were a Canadian with Telus right now?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wulffez:
Thats that asian edition!!! With no gps and slightly slower!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Deleted member 368662:
What is this, some mis-information campaign? That's a HTC Victor.

Look theres two models, the HTC Touch Diamond and the HTC Victor. The Victor does have gps and is not slower, is this just some racism because it's intended for the Asian markets or something?

The difference between the Diamond and the Victor is the styling and the weight, the Victor is something like 14g lighter, has rounded corners, a flat slightly rubberised back and looks different.

There is no other changes, no internal changes to the specifications at all.

I have a Victor, the MDA Compact IV.

Now with the XDA Ignito I was assuming it would have a Diamond back because it has a Diamond front (in the O2 catalogue) but according to google images it has their own back, which looks slightly different from that of the Victor, but that may be because they're product renders and not real shots.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wulffez:
It should have less ram or something and I read up some were on asian forum that I shouldnt have GPS, so

I AINT BEING RACIST

its BS the way people go thru great lengths to appear not racist... haha

you might not be racist against us, but we are racist against you nonetheless ;p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dajudge01:
Okay I can confirm the fact that the O2 Germany Matte Battery cover won't fit onto an original HTC Touch Diamond. I just tried to do so at work today (one of my co-workers has an unbranded one) and it simply but definitely doesn't fit.

Strange thing though - wouldn't it have been easier just to design a new battery cover for O2?

The mda compact IV back is also different. So genuine diamond back will not fit mda compact IV. Only a information...

Hi Im wondering if the Oppo Find X2 Oro has good fanbase and community supoort?

I have ordered mine already but havent found much information on the popularity of the device.

Do you guys think its just a matter of time? Or do oppo devices flop in terms of community support just due to low popularity?
