I upgraded to MIUI 12 too but doesn't have t he fancy new settings in the notification area is it normal? Also the screen has a white bar at the bottom, any idea how to remove it?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Guides, ] sdivk:
Hi, please go to settings, display, notifications and control center, and change to new control center.

White bar at the bottom can be hidden by going to settings, full screen display and chosing to hide the full screen indicator.

Post MIUI 12 update

Full charge, battery life to 50%. Granted, this is pretty unintensive usage as I have been on wifi the full time. Usage is couple of hours of YouTube, general browsing, messaging.

I feel like battery life has definitely improved, feels a lot like when I first got the phone and the 'just cant kill the battery' feeling.

How in the world can I change this image? Every app is only allowing me to change the home screen.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] jaseman:
While I use Nova as my launcher...I believe it's the same for the default launcher...long press on the home screen, choose wallpaper, select the one you want and make sure it is used for both lock screen and home screen.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] seagypsy59:
With the Home Launcher when you press on the home screen and select wallpaper, the image of your home screen appears above the selections but if you swipe slightly to the right the lock screen will appear and you will be able to change that one separately

Thanks!! I never realized the swipe was there.
[Realme 6i Guides, News, & Discussion] Kraitos:
Awesome guide and thanks for mention you know some people do that if you pay them to unlock bootloader and rooting device:eek: so this thread will be a savior to alot of people , I'll do testing in a couple of days asap i get a laptop:D relocking bootloader is mostly the same when you unlocked bootloader so it should be easy to flash stock again
[Realme 6i Guides, News, & Discussion] Joesh.lucas:
Alright, so, quick update:

I tried to lock the bootloader while it had root (in my case, magisk). When I did, the phone went to "red state" (For those who don't know, it's basically bootloop wherein the phone never goes to recovery no matter what you do. Not even in stock).

Now, my phone is broken. It bootloops. I don't know what to do with this problem except going to a service center and have this fixed. Does anyone know how much it costs for reflashing stock rom to realme devices?

Sidenote: I tried the volume + down/up method to get into fastboot mode or stock recovery, but it never works. And honestly speaking, I don't think it will. To get into fastboot mode the bootloader needs to be unlocked, so that's crossed out AND I can't get into stock recovery because the phone restarts every 5 seconds because of that pesky "red state" thingy at the start.
[Realme 6i Guides, News, & Discussion] mehdi.shah:
The problems you faced after rooting the phone is because you flashed an older version of boot.img thats why it wasn't working with latest rom and caused instability in system... And the second problem that you faced that red state thing..!! it was your fault you shouldn't relocked the bootloader with a patched boot img.. and if you wanted to boot the stock recovery you should have used the command " fastboot reboot recovery " this command in fastboot mode reboots the phone to recovery mode... Well i want to know what happend did your phone survived??
[Realme 6i Guides, News, & Discussion] Joesh.lucas:
Thanks for the information, I now understand that I should use the same boot.img. It was worth the experiment tho, I just hoped I did it better so I wouldn't have to go through this process again.

My phone is here with me. It's still stuck on red state and I haven't went to a service center to have it fixed yet. I went to Hovatek to look for some ways to fix this problem. I tried using miracle box and the SP flashtool method but the latter had problems with the scatter file and the former didn't get past this:

Waiting for USB Port...

Set OPPO PreLoader USB VCOM (Android) (COM4)

>>Please Hold "ON" to connect with the phone...

I also looked a little bit more into it and I found out that I can use the OFP file and the flasher application here: https://firmwarex.net/realme-6i-rmx2040-official-firmware/

But unfortunately, I can't use the application because it's asking for an OPPO ID or something. Either I bring this phone to a service center or I'll just let it be this way until I decide to sell it somewhere. I hope I'll be able to fix this on my own tho, at least, someday.

Edit:

You can read more of my experience here:

[Realme 6i Guides, News, & Discussion] mehdi.shah:
Hey buddy i just rooted my realme 6i (RMX 2040) on build number A.37... everything went smooth and working flawlessly.... No system instabilities at all... Btw sorry to hear that your phone is still in brick state.. actually thing is oppo does not allow the users to flash stock rom on locked bl devices that why flasher tool asks for oppo authorized account in order to flash the device... And about SP flash tool.. it will not work either we have to wait for the patched rom that can be flashed on locked devices with sp flash tool
[Realme 6i Guides, News, & Discussion] Joesh.lucas:
Woah, is it true you've rooted it? How did you manage to pull it off? Is it similar to what I did except with different files?

Oh and yeah, I think I'll need to bring this to an authorized service center to have it fixed. In your currency, how much do you think it costs to flash the stock rom back to the phone? This has been a question that's been bothering me for months. I do hope it isn't pricey, because if it is then maybe I'll never have it fixed.
[Realme 6i Guides, News, & Discussion] mehdi.shah:
Yeah the procedure was the same as yours... I unlocked the bootloader i was on A27 build... And i downloaded the latest ozip file from the official site and i opened it up in file manager it asked if i want to update the software i clicked yes.. and it rebooted to stock recovery and started updating the device.. after successful update i opend up the ozip file by renaming it to .zip and extracted the boot.img and vbmeta.img. i patched the boot.img with latest magisk manager and tha than flashed those files in fastboot mode... With same commands that u used... And everything went well and its all good and rooted no problem at all..

And yeah the service center thing.. if its the software issue than the charge around 1.5 to 2k rupees in my country...which is around 9.34 to12.4 US dollars..
[Realme 6i Guides, News, & Discussion] sqzd0:
Does root work as it should?

Russian community guys reported that root exists in the system but not works at all. Rooting procedure looks the same.
[Realme 6i Guides, News, & Discussion] mehdi.shah:
Yeah it is working like it should work... I tried many things... Different magisk modules.. even changed boot animation with root file manager every thing works like charm..
[Realme 6i Guides, News, & Discussion] Joesh.lucas:
I don't mean to be rude but, can you make a thread for that? Some rmx 2040 owners want to root their device and I think i just gave them a recipe for disaster.

Oh and by the way, thanks for answering my question. I have another one, will it be okay to update your device whilst rooted? If so then how do you stop the auto update?

[General Questions and Answers] pBaesse:
Hej everyone,

I flashed a custom rom from mi-globe a few months. It was working great. Then I had the not so incredible idea of updating with latest miui eu 12, because the weekly update from the update menu was not working. It kinda worked, but it got too buggy. So I wanted to come back to a xiaomiEU Stable Rom.

It is now that problems begin. When I flashed miui eu 12, I got recovery loop. Lost all my data trying to fix, but I was able to flash the stock rom via the amazing XiaomiADBFastbootTools in my GNU/Linux distro. It worked! But the main issue is can not flash the custom rom again. I download the custom rom in the internal storage, flash the twrp via fastboot, enter recovery, create full backup, wipe to factory reset and flash the custom rom. Everything seems successful, but then I get a recovery loop again and when I try to restore the backup, the data folder is filled with folders and files with random chars in the names. Apparently the data folder becomes read-only for some reason as well. Then I have to flash the stock rom and tried everything again. I have done it at least 5 times now. I have searched a lot for some solution and nothing works

I have tried the OrangeFox recovery and the mi-globe rom, same issue. I really want a custom rom , but I have no idea what to do anymore. If I could at least restore my backed up stock rom, it would help a lot.

Please help me out and sorry I posted in the wrong section.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] AwesomityRooter:
Hi all,

Was wondering if any variations on the Samsung kernel were available to flash. I only ask since I want to get the S20 FE but it doesn't support aptX codecs in software (LL is what I am really looking for), so I was hoping that someone might have a hack to fix this, that can either be done via root or a new OS flash?

Thanks all, and happy rooting!

Hello, it's not very clear for me, but I guess we need to disable Android Verified Boot (AVB) before rooting with magisk.

Is it possible to create a patched a vbmeta.img ? Or someone has one for the G781B ?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] afaneh92:
If you flashed only patched boot.img and didnt boot due to vbmeta check then you need to flash vbmeta_disable.tar you can find it on xda. or patch the whole AP tar, magisk will do it for you.

[Off-topic] richardlai:
Normally I don't have any problem with choosing my new laptop, as there's always been a clear winner in the market for me at specific times, but this evening - after hours of research - I ended up with these two beautiful beasts:

1. Toshiba Satellite A300D-15B £679.99

AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core ZM-80 2.1GHz 2MB 65nm 32W

4GB DDR2 RAM 800MHz (max. 8GB)

250GB SATA 5400rpm

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 512MB

15.4" WXGA+ (1440x900)

DVD-SuperMulti

2.7kg

Features: Harman Kardon speakers, stealthy touchpad, face recognition, HDMI, eSATA, firewire, 4x USB (Sleep-and-Charge)

Warranty: 1-year international warranty

2. HP Pavilion dv5-1011ea £730.99

Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 2GHz 3MB 45nm 25W

4GB DDR2 RAM

250GB SATA 5400rpm

NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512MB

15.4" WXGA (1280x800)

Blu-Ray ROM with DVD SuperMulti

2.65kg

Features: Altec Lansing speakers, borderless LCD, remote control (ExpressCard), HDMI, eSATA, firewire, 4x USB

Warranty: 1 year, pick-up and return, parts and labour

The reason why I am struggling is because of the following:

1. From what I have gathered over the last few years, HP's reliability is not that great. Care to discuss?

2. Both machines are almost equally sexy, in my opinion.

3. Is it worth burning another £50 for the Blu-ray drive and remote control, even though the HP has a lower screen resolution?

4. Even though the 9600M GT is more powerful than the ATI 3650, there have been reports about faulty NVIDIA chips in recent productions. Worth the risk?

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers! :)

[Off-topic] shanetheclassic:
Well from working at Geek Squad last year for a couple months between jobs, one thing I learned is when you buy an HP the first thing you should do is Wipe the HDD clean and re-install your OS of choice w/out the HP bloatware

or you can uninstall each individually, but there is a lot

On the other hand, most of the Laptop brought in for repairs were HP and Toshiba no lie, about 75% of the work i got was for bad HDD and RAM, Keyboard or Screen repairs...also the CPU's for toshibas go a lot faster then normal

like i said, get a dell. Get one with a nvidea or ati card that you can swap out for something better

no lie at most I had 2-3 Dell's a month to repair, but over 100 HP's and toshiba's
[Off-topic] richardlai:
Wow, that's good to know from an insider. I know HP's been a bit dodgy in recent years but never knew that Toshiba is that bad. In fact, I'm pretty sure that in Hong Kong their repair rate is much lower (one of the best too), so perhaps it depends on certain product lines e.g. the budget L series?

Actually, one thing I do know about Toshiba is that their own hard drives are not good at all - my first laptop (Futjisu C2010) had a Toshiba hard drive, and after a year and a half it had already started behaving badly. Same with my mates' Toshiba hard drives. If this is the case, I can just buy a different brand of hard drive and use the Toshiba one as a portable.

The problem with Dell is that they are starting to get expensive, in fact for the same spec bar the special features, they are more expensive than either of these two laptops. I will, however, keep an open mind if my budget becomes more flexible.

Thanks so much for the tip, shanetheclassic. :)

Any more advice from you guys?
[Off-topic] richardlai:
shanetheclassic: while you're here, may I also ask what is the repair rate of Sony, Samsung, Asus and LG laptops these days? Cheers.
[Off-topic] shanetheclassic:
Well I havn't worked there since May but around then it was like this -

Sony - Averaged about 2-3 a week. Most of the issues, about 95%, were the HDD

Samsung - Never had any that I can remember

Asus - Pretty much the same as Sony, but most problems were with its ports i.e usb, network

LG - Never ahd any that I can recall either

I don't think LG or Samsung sell at Best Buy, and a majority of the customers we had bought there Computer there.

ANd all of this is based on Sales. HP, Toshiba, Dell and Gatewat are the top sellers for laptops so obviously we are going to get more of them. Thats why I suggested Dell not only because I own a Dell Laptop and XPS Desktop and have not had any major problems, of course Mine are tweaked out :) , but like I said we barely had any Dell's come in and they sell jsut as much as HP or Toshiba

The dv5's screen is horrible, even though the bezel-free design is nice.
