Yeah I'm sorry for you.

Maybe something changed on your provider side :/

Did you try to use the other Simslot/remove, clean enter sim card again.

And if you have a sim card from another provider at hand, is it working with that?

L
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mickiewicz:
i had remove sim card and put it again - after pin-code there is no change.

once i even flash whole rom without sim card and put it in after - same result (also change sim slot do not help)

i do not have a sim card from other provider - maybe i'll try to use one from a friend or something.

i have the same sim card for ages and on miui LTE works fine. out of ideas.

thanks for help!

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] peter.xda:
Do you have the latest Xiaomi firmware? It's V12.0.3.0.QDTMIXM and you have to (re)install it separately just in case. Do you still have mobile data with xiaomi.eu ROM? If so, check your APN settings once again and make sure the APN is marked with a bullet point.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] persona78:
Hmmm... I´m asking me, can be a radio problem? :unsure:

Have you installed last firmware update? You can get it HERE.

(Check if you download the right firmware before flash it with custom rom!!!)

After install last update, try Lineage again...

I really think is a radio problem, ril or something.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mickiewicz:
yes, i do flash 12.0.3 firmware everytime before flash lineage rom (i wrote about it a few times - try to flash with and without firmware).

on xiaomi.eu i don't have a problem - default after clean flash LTE appears.

when i flash i do the same things (maybe there is something not wright?):

- go to recovery (for ex. lineage recovery), do all wipes

- flash firmware, flash rom and flash Nikgapps (i try with basic and stock versions - canary and stable relases)

- reboot to system - recovery appears again to do a format data (i guess it's normal with this rom) and then real reboot to system

- rom is loading, i do all settups and mobile data not working

Anyone here facing problem when taking photo using whatsapp app and with HDR mode?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] predragiPredrag:
Did you check your access point names settings? If you can make calls and receive sms but have no mobile data it sounds like missing config for APN.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mickiewicz:
yup, APNs shows itself.

i;ve try to modify it manually by myself (taking data form my provider's official page).

i've try to remove APNs and add it again, change SIM slot and do it all on the second sim slot.

today i've used a SIM card from my friend (with other provider - Orange PL) and results was the same - no mobile data (orange's APNs shows itself, but nothing changes).

so now i know that my issue is not being caused by my provider, but i'm still out of ideas what am i doing wrong, when mobile data on xiaomi.eu rom works fine right after flashing :|
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] predragiPredrag:
Hmmm that is strange, try this steps when installing.

- Reboot to recovery

- format data

- copy to device firmware, LOS and gapps

- flash firmware then LOS and in the end gapps

- and in the end reboot to system

It should not ask you to format data again, maybe that step is messing with your phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mickiewicz:
i do all of that - even more (all wipes and format data).

on first boot it always reboot to rcovery again an reqire format data or wipe data + caches
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] predragiPredrag:
what recovery are you using? Maybe it is causing this strange behaviour
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mickiewicz:
honestly - i've tried all of them - lineage (with 'side adb' commands via fastboot), two different orange fox (not official ones, but made for android 11 i guess), unoffiicial twrp and pitch black.

always full wipes and formats.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Conrado da Vinci:
I'm on Orange PL and had the same problem, btw this problem is on every ROM on Android 11. The solution is to change the default APN from "internet" to "internetipv6" and also change the protocol to IPv6. How do you change on your network? I have no idea, for a start try changing the protocol to IPv6.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mickiewicz:
that internetipv6 thing is probably only in Orange - i do not see any info about it on PLAY as a provider.

right now i'm on xiaomi.eu rom, LTE wrorks and in network settings i see as APN type just "internet" (nothing about ipv6) and APNs ptocol is set at "ipv4/ipv6" - all that i get automatically after a clean flash of LOS.

today i've try to flash from sd card (i ask myself - why not?), ressults are the same - i do not have mobile data on a11 roms
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] roldev:
At first, Thanks for the great work done by the @op. And support of the community. I have some problems with my install. Hope someone can help.

The phone cannot be encrypted. After clean install LOS18.1 the phone is not encrypted. I tried do it manually, but after 4 hours stuck on 90%. Never finished. I have encryptable=ice in my fstab.qcom. Maybe some flash from the past altered /vendor. I do clean install: wipe all, format data, install xiaomi firmware, install LOS18.1, install gapps. Rebooting perfect but without encryption ... Somebody can help me, please?

Second problem. I suppose no OTA update, isn't? So every time I need to backup my ~200 apps and restore manually. Somehow backup with Titanium cannot restore the apps. Only the data. Any idea how to make reliable backup of my apps+apps settings+system setting? Thank you very much.

Sorry for my bad english.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 9Lukas5:
How do you know the phone is unencrypted? Does it say so under Settings->Security?

My `vendor/etc/fstab.qcom` has `fileencryption=ice` for data instead `encrypttable=ice` like yours. Maybe worth a shot?

Depends on what you mean: You of course can flash a new build over the current one without wiping & reinstalling everything. So, yes you can update.

But as we have no recovery, that supports the FileBasedEncryption(FBE) of newer Android versions, you can't make a backup before the update to be able to easily restore everything in case of the update failed.

L
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] roldev:
Thanks @9Lucas5 for your active support.

Yes, the phone shows unecrypted under Security.

My vendor/etc/fstab.qcom has encryptable=ice. Maybe was altered from xiaomi.eu which was installed before. Or installed something in the past, don't remember now. I tried to flash no-verify-force-encrypt-6.0.zip this time before install, but something goes wrong. Maybe need to install official fastboot MIUI from MyFlash to recover right vendor? I am afraid that this will lock my phone, but seems that there is option to keep it unlocked....

The phone has option to encrypt, but after more than 4h stuck on: Encrypting ... Time remaining 0:00 and never ending.

This is great news. I am with PBRP v2.9 which can make backup, since I still unecrypted. Thanks again for your support.

Hi!

I found this Code [ Network Technologies List *#*#4636#*#* ] Use dial to insert code, in there you can select the network connection. Try to find yours.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mickiewicz:
yep, i've tried all options there - H+ (HSPAP) is max what i can get (on my provider and an other provider via roaming also).

still no LTE :|
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 9Lukas5:
@roldev did you try to completely reset your device with reflashing firmware and deleting all data?

You can download the firmware from here (flashable zip for recovery): https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/platina/stable/V12.0.3.0.QDTMIXM/

Attention: Backup all your data (including internal storage!) to your computer beforehand!

flash LOS recovery

fastboot flash recovery <recovery image file>

boot recovery

format /system, /cache & /data (really format /data, to remove previous encryption)

alternatve: use fastboot:

fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata

flash firmware via adb sideload

reboot recovery (just for safety, don't know if it makes any difference^^)

flash rom via adb sideload

reboot

Normally LOS18.1 on our device should be directly encrypted on first boot with FBE, so if it doesn't show encrypted it didn't workout.

@ all: could others maybe confirm what fileencryption parameter they have in their /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom for the data entry?

@SebaUbuntu maybe you could tell what it should say, and maybe know a way how to fix such differences in the /vendor partition if my described attempt won't work out?

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Ninive:
Hi everyone,

I just installed lineageos for microG on my 8 lite,

and I'm facing several minor issues :

- For the installation, I first installed the lineageos recovery,

but I can access it only with the "fastboot boot <name of the recovery>.img" command.

When I use on/off button + volume up, it stills boot on mi-recovery 3.0. I don't know

if this behaviour is expected or not.

- After installing Lineageos, when plugged to a Windows10 PC, the internal storage does not appear,

only the sd card is available for files transfers. Is that because of the encryption, and is

there a way to see all storages ?

- Instead of Google Play store, I want to use the Aptoide store. I managed to install it,

but it crashes everytime I try open it.

Thank you in advance for your help !
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Ninive:
I'm answering to myself, in case it could help people having these issues.

It appears that I didn't properly reboot on recovery just after installing it,

so I reinstalled recovery, immediatly reboot on it using volume up + power, then reinstall

lineageos. Now works like a charm. Thanks to the community ant the op for your great work !

Hi at all, I've seen that the lineage recovery doesn't provide a backup option, so how to backup my current ROM and all of that is installed in it?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] roldev:
Very good question. I face the same problem.

Usually I flash the ROM, NickGapps and Magisk.

Then restore apk's backup I made and apps data from TitaniumBackup.

Take a lot of time to complete.

Maybe create and restore update.zip with paid version of Titanium will work?

I search for make backup of data via adb from shell. Not clear solution found ;(

Any ideas? Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] AnGry36:
@SebaUbuntu - thank you very much for this ROM. I just switched over to it. Together with the also provided LineageOS Recovery image I was able to first prepare the device (with other recoveries the installation did not work afterwards) and then install this ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 9Lukas5:
Hey,

I'm in Germany, O2 as provider.

I got aware that after some uptime my device looses its capability of VoLTE calls.

The bad thing about this is, that if I'm making an outgoing call, it needs a long time to dial out and falls back to 3g, but if someone tries to call me in coming, the device doesn't recognize it and the other end just get's a not available message or similar after some time.

I've flashed now an older build, to see if that fixes my bug , outcome to be delivered later .

Update: With an older build flashed, the devices doesn't boot up. After Bootlogo it reboots and goes to recovery. Reflashing the version last installed again, it boots up again fine.

For now I've attached a logcat, where I did an outgoing call with 3g fallback, first without filter, second with Warnings or worse.

Could anyone check them if there are any clues what the problems origin could be?

I'm especially flustered, that it's not not working at all, but only after some up time.

Update 2:

After I allowed 2G networks again (had them disabled before), I can receive incoming calls again. Seems like my Provider prefers a GSM fallback for calls.

L
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 9Lukas5:
Hey has anyone problems that after doing a Call with Threema or Signal the ring volume is range is translated way higher than normal?

So suddenly even the screen lock sound is incredibly loud an so is every notification and ringtone, until the device get's rebooted.

It happens always after doing a call with a third party app, so they seems to tamper with the sound settings here and they don't get reset after the call ends :/

Hi everyone, first of all, the ROM is awesome. I just flashed it on my Mi 8 Lite, and it´s beautiful. It´s my first time on the flashing phones game for a long long time.

My question is, I want to be able to use Netflix on my phone, and I´ve read that Magisk is needed.

How should I Root my phone now that I have LOS 18.1 and how should I flash Magisk since my recovery right now is Lineage Recovery?.

Could anyone guide me through it step by step here or by private message ?

Anyway, thank you all very much in advance for the help and for the ROM!.

Keep it up!.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Danchiman:
Hi! So, all though I wasn't able to find lots of specific information or step by step guides for this specific situation. I thought I might as well give it a try and *root this phone (mi 8 lite with Lineage OS 18.1 with Lineage Recovery).

- I just installed the Magisk Manager app.

- Then downloaded the magisk apk and changed the ".apk" part for ".zip" in my PC.

- Connected the phone to the PC, rebooted to recovery mode. Selected the Lineage Recovery options to sideload an image.

- Perform the command

adb sideload magisFileName

- Then opened the app and clicked Install just in case for the second magisk option in the app main menu.

After that it was just some basic google about magisk and safetyNet to have Google Play Store, Netflix and Disney+ working as allways.

Note: when configuring the magisk hide props and changing the phone's fingerprint I had to select an option that covered Android 11 so I believe to remember I chose the Mi 10 lite global option.

Links to videos I used either completely or partially:

Sideload Magisk (from 5:15 aprox)

Fix safetyNet (Audio in spanish, easy to follow the steps shown)

I don't know there's a problem in my flash rom or this is a bug, but after enabling MTP and copying some files to the storge to flash it (like magsik) and when I boot recovery TWRP I found all files is removed, just there are some empty folders with random alphabet characters
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] MML.Pro:
I did exactly as I explained, but when I reboot the system I can't find Magisk root installed (not even the application) it seems that it has not been installed, and I don't know why, I also tried to flash it via TWRP but unfortunately I see the folders are encrypted
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Danchiman:
I have read that TWRP has some kind of issues with our devide and/or Lineage OS. So maybe thats the reason. I only used Lineage Recovery.

Try using Lineage Recovery and the videos I shared. Install magisk manager before entering to recovery and flashing it.

I'm no expert so this is just my understanding and some guessing. Good luck

In case anybody is missing the dialer app showing up when calling / getting called:

Just installed lineage-18.1-20211014-nightly-platina-signed.zip + Magisk + Nikgapps Core.

The dialer app was not set as the default dialing app in the app permissions. This led to working outgoing calls with no dialer app UI and ringing phone when someone is calling without being able to pick up.

Set as default -> everything's fine again.

b) fastboot format userdata

c) fastboot flash recovery "twrp 3.3.0.img"

d) fastboot reboot

2- Wipe - format data (need write yes) and reboot in recovery again

3- Mount and enable MTP (copy rom+magisk+gapps) Magisk Gapps

Check the comment I left just now in the issue.

I keep a fork of the needed device repos' for private building. When it appeared back somewhere between the April and May security patches (May was the first failing for me because of the missing libs) I just switched the used vendor blob repo to my fork and reset that to the last tag with a known working state 🤷

If anyone's doing private builds as well and hasn't figured out the problem themselves already you could just use my fork to build for the time being found here.

Out of exasperation i tried Derpfest 13 on Platina and it works really good. It is a Pixel-ROM, so Gapps is included. I am using Google Services anyway. I am using it since a week now flawlessly and it has more features than LOS and even better batterylife. The only caveat is lacking encryption. I enclose the Dev Hanif Ardhani in my night prayers hoping he will squeeze some lifetime out of the device. Thank you Han! Keep up the good work!

P.s.: If someone is looking for a ROM based on LOS (secure, degoogled), /e/OS seems the way to go.

LOS for Platina is no longer supported by the developer. But there are other ROMs based on AOSP and the general LOS updates. See here! The Derpfest ROM (see posts above) is based on Android 13 AOSP and a good alternative if you use Googles services.

Otherwise /e/OS officially maintains a ROM based on LOS 18.1, degoogled and mainly aiming for privacy and security. So you will get at least the actual security patches there i think.
