[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Devaway:
Hey everyone, I need some help here

First of all, Im new to the forum, im still learning about android, roms, recovery etc, so I apologize for my ignorance

I was having some problems with installing roms, after successfully instaling this one Ive reboot to check if it was working and then I came back to the recovery to flash gapps, but then I saw a lot of folders with random names (I thought it was some kinda of encrytion right away) so I came back here and I noticed the FBE thing

I assume there are reasons to be this way, but how can I flash zip files from recovery with use encryption? I managed to remove the encryption by reinstaling the rom again and then instaling a Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt package, what consequences can this have? Thanks for the rom, Im really happy for finding a rom that is not discontinued, sorry for the ignorance

Tried everything, clean install, and all works fine, but when I flash Magisk (tried the last and also prior versions), after the reboot, the phone gets stuck in the Mi logo.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] TheDon13:
Yes an SD card slot is a must for me too. That's why for the time being I'm sticking with my Mi 8 Lite. I don't understand why manufacturers are dropping it as their phones still aren't any slimmer; in fact they are way thicker than the 7.5mm of the Mi 8.

Recently tried a Huawei p40 lite 5G (as I was lured to try 5G !) but found it too thick & heavy really. Once one has a slim light phone like the Mi 8, its hard to change away! And only decent 5g sim only deals in UK are 12 month plus contracts.

Also Huawei have their silly NM card, no real benefit of micro sd I can see. So they just make more out of their proprietary expansion card (£20 plus at least for just 64gb, when my 256gb micro sd card cost less than £15! :) . Also the work arounds for Google Play were less than ideal. Sold it on for same money I paid, so no loss.

I nearly made the same mistake on the 10T Lite too, but yeah no sd card slot....daft imo & sales loser
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] :
Thanks a lot for this great ROM, it works perfectly!!

Is there any way to update from the previous to the latest version of your ROM without formatting data? From the discussion it seemed I have to format data due to the FBE issue. Is this correct?

Is it safe to flash another recovery even if data is not decrypted? I have TWRP 3.3.1 installed and I was wondering if SHRP 2.3.2 would be able to decrypt FBE, but I did not dare to give it a try...

Thanks again for your great work!

Hello, I am stuck at the boot screen I tried to let it more than 20 minutes and the animated logo is still looping,

What I did:

- unlock the bootloader and install Pitchblack-recovery 2.9.0 (twrp 3.3.1)

- factory reset

- Flash the firmware V12.0 available on the first post

- flash the Rom

- wipe dalvik cache and reboot

And still stucked at the splash screen, have anyone experienced that?

This is good news. I just downloaded the latest version an plan to flash it this weekend, time permitting. Is it possible to dirty flash this over the Bliss Android 10 ROM, or is a clean flash required? I know clean installs are always better, but this phone is so full I would be many hours restoring it.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] SebaUbuntu:
Clean flash is required
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] SebaUbuntu:
It is clearly written that a format data is required

Also, you should have more luck with the recovery I linked

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Libanai:
Did not worked with a format data, but worked with the recovery you linked, I installed it to flash the rom + gapps and reinstalled the TWRP recovery to install magisk

Everything working so far except the camera flash, the flash triggers before the picture so the picture appears completely black, will try to install another app because I'm using the stock one
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] brokey:
Ok, so I have installed quite a few ROMs but I wanted to know what is the correct procedure for installing this one...I am keen to give it a go considering all others are falling by the wayside...

I guess it's a full wipe and install the ROM with TWRP, yes? But what about GAPPS?

cheers

I installed LOS 18.1 on my HTC 10 as a test bed before putting it onto my Mi 8 Lite. I noticed on the HTC the face unlock is missing. Is it working on this ROM for the Mi 8 Lite? I had intended on installing it last weekend, but my wedding kinda got in the way. So wanting to do it tomorrow possibly (Sunday). Face unlock is pretty handy.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 9Lukas5:
@SebaUbuntu do you think you could have a look into getting a twrp/orangeFox or something else updated to be able to decrypt the data of your Rom?

It would be a huge upgrade for me (and I think others as well?) to be able to make backups before updating.

I'm very happy to have an up-to-date system (especially in terms of monthly security patches, rather than the latest Android) on my device again, that works excellent. So huge thanks for that.

Thanks and congratulations. That's great news.

Do you know if synaptics panel works with linked recovery? I'm on stock miui and planning to make the switch but in the past I've had problems with touch not being supported in most recoveries. Orangefox worked way back when I was last on custom so the commits are in there I guess.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] peter.xda:
Congratulations! Nice work!

By the way, I had a bootloop after converting userdata partition from ext4 to f2fs. Then I decided to add a new line containing f2fs configuration parameters to /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom and I have no problems now! Many people would appreciate it, if you added this extra line for f2fs in future builds because of its better performance. Thank you!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] SebaUbuntu:
F2FS support has been removed due to issues with FBE, I'll consider adding it back, but no promises
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] SebaUbuntu:

Hi.

Nikgapps are not installed gives error 1, storage full.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] peter.xda:
I can confirm the problem with FBE and F2FS. With 'encryptable=ice' in fstab.qcom (i.e. no forced encryption) the phone boots to system normally. With 'fileencryption=ice' it doesn't.

One possible reason could be missing or false flags in fstab.qcom for f2fs.

Another reason could be my outdated recovery. I don't know what version of mkfs.f2fs it had and what arguments were used. I wanted to experiment with the newest binary and providing additional arguments like 'mkfs.f2fs -f -O encrypt -O quota -O verity' probably adding '-w 4096' and 'sectors' but I have returned the phone already to a friend of mine. He is now a happy owner of a LineageOS-based phone who doesn't care about encryption :-)

Thank you for maintaining the phone and keep up the good work!

mobile data not working :|

i try both versions - 08.04 and 15.04, both flashed via unofficial orange fox recovery and via lineage recovery, with and whitout 12.0.3 firmware (i made a lot of flashes).

all flashes were clean.

i can make a call, i can use wifi but mobile data failed (not even LTE or H sign).

i have to go back to eu miui version but maybe someone can help me on my problem.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] persona78:
I think if you change fstab.qcom from vendor/etc directory and do reset, data will be mount with no decryption.

like this:

default mount point

/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data ext4 nosuid,nodev,barrier=1,noauto_da_alloc,discard,noatime,lazytime,errors=panic wait,resize,check,fileencryption=ice,crashcheck,quota

change to:

/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data ext4 nosuid,nodev,barrier=1,noauto_da_alloc,discard,noatime,lazytime,errors=panic wait,resize,check,crashcheck,quota

Remove fileencryption=ice switch

I dont know how it will handle with Google Play Store...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] persona78:
Hi!

I install the LiniageOS and it seems very fluid!

I install gapps from here cyanogenmods.org and work fine to.

Google camera works fine to, i download from www.celsoazevedo.com, PX8.1_GCam-1.2.apk from Urnyx05, from this site you can download de configs file for Xiaomi mi 8 lite.

I miss the 3 fingers screenshot but maybe it will be add in future.

And because bootloader is unlocked Googple Play store say that is not certified... Is a problem if you want to use Netflix! But not for me!

I let here the tool to Unlock bootloader on MEGA, it have 3 batch files, boot on recovery with out install it, reboot from bootloader mode and LOCK Bootloader again.

In there it have to Lineage recovery and TWRP recovery.

After intall Lineage OS and boot, TWRP will not boot!

Was nice if Lineage Recover add MTP to acess storage...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] persona78:

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] persona78:
Hi!

So far issues i found, pixel launcher fail after a while, wifi i can't connect to my work network because on wifi options is missing on method EAP - PEAP fase 2 to authenticate None (blank) and no domain.

Like example:

Some apps can't start because bootloader is unlocked and Google play says uncertified device but that is not from rom i guess.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 9Lukas5:
Thank you for trying to help, but I want to use encryption.

I was just surprised, that auto encryption on first boot seemed to be enabled, but I couldn't manage, to get the "secure boot" mechanism I was used to, to work.

SebaUbuntu then explained me, this Rom uses FileBasedEncryption instead of FullDiskEncryption, which works differently, makes the mid-boot pin question obsolete I was missing and explains the unaccessibility for the recovery.

I'd really like to get a fully working TWRP or OrangeFox back, but not for the price of an unencrypted storage.

In theory it would be possible, to compile the Rom with the older FDE, but that would force everyone to move their data around, etc why it's very unlikely and also not the best way. Optimal would be, if someone would update a recovery code base with the FBE capabilities^^

Even though I won't try/use it, I've a technical question: the change you proposed, isn't that one I would have to do on each Rom flash before rebooting the device, or is it only overridden on firmware flashes or something like that?

I think you need to apply That Change every time you do factory reset after update because update Will overwrite the file you change.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] persona78:
I return to stock because i really need WiFi for work and can't connect with this rom and i have apps that doesn't work to because Google play say that is a uncertified device... (Bootloader unlocked).

On games it lags, ping is very high to, probably because of background apps running, some game mode probably helps.

But i like a lot.

I changed some apps with Google apps like Google dialer it have a anti spam call identify, Google message, etc.

I missed the call recorder, 3 fingers screen shot but there are apps on Google play that works fine.

I miss old times, it was more easy to change the phone was you want...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] persona78:
Doesn't show 4g?

On Network tools or sim tools, there the options to choose how it connects, probably is in wrong mode. Try to find what is your network connection available in your country and go there and change it.

Is a big list in that menu!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mickiewicz:
you are talking about a list of network types to prefere - i did that ("modify apn, change default network type, restore network settings and factory reset - i did all of that").

even when i choose like 2g or 3g - there is no label on mobile data (nothing shows - H or 3G etc.)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] persona78:
Very weird
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 9Lukas5:
@persona78 So in conclusion that would mean, if one forgets to change this again after an update, the system would re-encrypt the storage on boot which I would only recommend for testing device, but not a daily driver. Would you agree?

But reception itself is shown? If so, what does it say under "Settings/About Device/Sim State" for your active Sim Slot?

- is the provider correct?

- is there a type for the network given?

Hi!

I let you here some tools to work on ROM.

First One is Brottli (files ROM format) to Ext4, like it say change from brottli format to ext4 format as example system.new.dat.br and system.transfer.list to system.ext4

Brottli_Dat_to_EXT4.zip

Second on ( the one i use more to extract files from ext4 format images) 7z_Ext4_Imgextractor, for this tool you need to extract, enter in work folder, right click on 7z.exe, compatibility and select execute as administrator or it will not work properly.

7z_Ext4_Imgextractor.zip

Third, is the same as 7z_Ext4_Imgextractor.zip but i only use is 7z_Ext4_Imgextractor.zip doesn´t work. Some times extract with a few errors...

Ext4_Imgextractor.zip

And the last one, is a Update.zip, inside you will find system and vendor folders, inside that folder you can paste a directory/file as you find inside the extract image, example if the file is in vendor/etc, you need to create/paste etc directory inside vendor...

Important Only works with directory with 755 permission and files with 644 permission!!!!! You need to know what you are doing...

update.zip

I hope this tools helps you.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mickiewicz:
after clean flash of todays version (installend via lineage recovery, with latest firmware and NikGapps basic):

there is no sign of mobile transfer, like you see, but the sim card and provider is correct.

when i change prefered network type to ONLY LTE - it seems disconected:

and when i change it back to other low-transfer network (like GSM only, then WCDMA) and then to LTE/WDMA i get a H+ connection (so its only 3G), but that H+ connection dissapeard after few minutes.

it seems like a problem with my provider (?), but i used to flash earlier versions of yours lineage (like in march, when it wasn't official yet) and then my LTE transfer worked.

i'm out of ideas how to fix that :)

so now i'm gonna back to xiaomi.eu rom again.

any ideas?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 9Lukas5:
Wow, that's some frustrating situation :/

If you say in earlier builds of this rom it worked fine, is that still the case?

E.g. if you just flash an older build you know worked before over your current setup, do you get your connection back?

For instance: I'm running a homebrew build from these sources from the 8th of March 23rd April, not the latest official build available.

Not really, sorry :/

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mickiewicz:
today i've tried to flash an old version (08.03 - like you), it was a clean flash with all wipes and format data - mobile data doesn't work on it. i made some flashes via lineage recovery and unofficial orange fox, with and without firmware, with and without gapps - everytime the results are the same - my mobile data not working.

i don't know what have changed (like i said - i was useing 08.03 version before), now i really don't have a clue what more can i do :)

so, once again, i'm going back to xiaomi.eu rom (on which mobile data works normally).
