Hi, do you have the same issue I described? What Mi5 variant are you using? I have the 4/128 GB. Did you enable the option "secure start-up" (it asks for the pin before loading Android) like me?

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] CzechCoder:
Hi there, first of all, great ROM, I came to it from Pixel Experience and so far like it more. I've installed the 8.5 version.

That being said, for some reason the battery drainage is way too strong. When I installed the ROM, I had about 98% and about 20 minutes later, after downloading about 10 apps through wi-fi, I have only 67%, no idea that something like that drain the battery like this.

I've read somewhere that some ROMs can do that and flashing the kernel might be answer. Does anybody have the same experience?

Hello,

Help, how to remove from the home page Touch FLO Call History and Calendar?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] alfoalfo:
Try with tf3d Config. Go to Tabs and disable the call history and calnedars tabs :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sergio PC:
You are talking bout the call history and the calender right under the watch???

Is that correct? If its so I would like to remove them 2, but I dont think its possible at the moment.

If you are talking about the Manila tabs then just use the TF3D Config, by Mr. Sushilange

Greetings
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Royal22:
No, you do not understand me, I do not want to remove Tabs, and want to remove the Home Page Tab items Call History and Calendar.

In TF3D Config decision of my problems are not found

p.s. Sorry for my english
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Driskol:
I think, editing manila file, like while adding calendar from D-MAN666.

Find out the correct manila file for the home tab, and delete this options...

Im going to take a look about this, bcuz i want to mod the T-Mobile theme tu use the extra tab to add my own favorites tabs like shorcuts

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] crispy-cat:
So, my phone's bricked - it won't boot, just brings up fastboot. As the solution to this problem appears to be to use the MSM tool to do an "actual" factory reset, I downloaded the MSM tool, and the decrypted ROM from this link: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682918291.

First I tried this on a Windows 7 VirtualBox VM (I use Ubuntu on my actual computer). The drivers didn't even install right it seems, and the device (in EDL mode) wasn't even recognized. Then I tried it on my mom's Windows 10 laptop. MSM never showed the device as connected. I think possibly the lack of a USB 2 port could be the cause.

Finally I set up a basic VM with Windows 10 and a USB 2 controller, and it worked-ish. MSM recognized the device, showed it as connected and started doing its thing, but stopped at "Sahara Communication failed". What is preventing it from getting past this? I'm using the cable provided in the box. Everything is recognized correctly. I've retried multiple times but still the same result.

SUCCESS!

I had a spare laptop lying around, and it has USB 2 ports. I loaded WIndows 10 onto it and tried the MSM from there -- AND IT WORKED!

As much as I hate Qualcomm for their monopolistic business practices, I thank them for EDL mode. I also thank OnePlus for somehow failing to prevent the MSM tool from entering the hands of the public every time, and @Some_Random_Username for trafficking this good. Yeet!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Glad you got it sorted and left some feedback! cheers
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] SakasakaHeyhey:
Hi crispy-cat,

Looks I have the same problem as you did. Using Kubuntu and Windows10 in VirtualBox.

My device is not recognized when I boot into edl-mode so I can't use MSM to unbrick my device. It does not pop up in devicemanager when I connect it with the original usb cable.

Can you explain the set up of a USB 2 controller? What is it hardware or software? I am not familiar to this and don't understand what you did. I think this can help me figuring out how to get the MSM tool working for me and flash the original OS back to the device.

Unfortunately I don't have access to a windows computer.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] crispy-cat:
The USB controller is part of VirtualBox. I think you need to download and install the extensions pack for the USB 2.0 version. The problem is that the controller is not capable of the absolute direct communication that the software needs to work, or it just doesn't connect fast enough. This would be a great example of why Windows on a USB would be great, since you could just boot it. But then MS wouldn't be able to make its billions. So we lose.

I'd try VMWare and KVM to see if they do any better. I'm not sure if WINE supports USB passthrough or not. Otherwise try to find a Windows box you can use.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] SakasakaHeyhey:
Thanx crispy-cat,

I now understand what you mean. My V-Box is broken and won't start up anymore so it's time to try out the alternatives or install V-Box again ;-)

If those options won't work I think the best solution is to buy Windows10 and install this on the computer. What are your ideas about the last option crispy-cat?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] crispy-cat:
Don't waste your money. Just download the ISO from here:

Download Windows 10 Disc Image (ISO File)

If your computer supports multiple SSDs, find one that works in it, and install it in the second slot. Otherwise, find the cheapest SSD you can that works and install it on there.

The reason I say to install on a separate disk is because resizing partitions can corrupt your data and make your computer unbootable, and Windows doesn't provide an option to install alongside your existing OS. By all means do not get rid of your existing OS.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] SakasakaHeyhey:
Hi crispy-cat,

Thanx for your advise and the link. I have a laptop with one SSD in it and there is no room for a second SSD.

I have external harddisks I use for storage (no SSD) and was thinking what is the best option for me:

1) Buy an external SSD for Windows. I am wondering if and how this will work. The OS on the laptop is Kubuntu. I can change the boot option in the Bios and select the SSD. Because the OS is on the SSD and not on the laptop do I have access to the USB ports on the laptop via Windows which runs on the SSD? The purpose is to connect the bricked phone to one of the USB ports and use the MSM tool to unbrick my device.

2) Buy a USB flash drive and write the ISO from your link to the flashdrive. Install Windows on the laptop via the flashdrive. This will overwrite the current OS. When I can unlock my phone in Windows with the MSM tool I can install Kubuntu back again on the laptop.

It is no problem for me to change the OS because I don't lose any files. Everything I need is on the external harddisks.

What are your ideas about this and is there another option available that could work for me?

Dualboot with Windows/Kubuntu is a alternatieve but can also be tricky.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] crispy-cat:
External SSDs are generally rejected by Windows and you'd have to do some very complicated setup. If it's no big deal to reinstall Kubuntu, go with option 2. Just disconnect the drives your files are on before you install Windows.

sometimes you need an old pc with usb2 instead of the most up to date one with usb3 port - this worked for me
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] i_pk_pjers_i:
Yep, this did the trick for me! I have a OnePlus 7 pro that I hard bricked (wouldn't even get to fastboot!!), it kept getting stuck at "Saraha Communication Failed", once I got to that error keeping Volume+ and Power Button held until it started flashing successfully did the trick for me. It even worked on the USB 3 ports of my Windows 10 laptop. Thanks so much!

I can't remember having this much trouble with MSM back in June 2021 but oh well lol at least it works again thanks to you!

It's honestly kind of wild how fragile this software is but at least there's great tooling like MSM to recover these situations.

edit: Just had to restore my OP7Pro again (went back to a clean LineageOS 18.1 with pico opengapps, it still reboots randomly every few minutes just like my OP5 on LineageOS 18.1 does too so a clean install didn't help), this time when it got stuck at "Saraha Communication Failed" the Volume+ and Power Button trick didn't work for me, I had to Volume+ and Volume- and Power Button all 3 at once for it to get past that error. I ended up using a new MSM to restore Android 11 instead of Android 9 this time, but the old MSM still had the same "Saraha Communication Failed" Volume+ and Power Button trick not working this time around too. This software is so fragile and random but at least it works eventually. I'm going to stick with OOS 11 stock for a while and see how things go, my days of custom ROMs and rooting may be over, at least for now.

edit 2: My OnePlus 5 on LOS 18.1 automatically reboots and my OnePlus 7 Pro on stock OOS 11 automatically reboots, both like every 5 minutes, what the hell is going on lol?

edit 3: The reboots on my stock OOS 11 OnePlus 7 Pro have become less frequent and as of today have stopped entirely. I'm probably going to stick with stock for quite a few months longer at this point but what a weird issue.

[General Topics] Admiral_Face:
I seem to have the same issue as Mentalmuso and Paris333; Magisk isn't giving out root permissions on the M6. When I try to flash module.zip via the modules tab in the magisk manager app I get:

! Unsupported/Unknown image format
! Installation failed

The magisk debug log is only full of:

su: request from pid={XXXXX}
su: request from uid={XXXXX}
su: request rejected (XXXXX)

for all of the root applications I tried to test it with

but when I go to the "superuser" tab it aggravatingly says "No app has asked for superuser permission yet."

My magisk app is the default non-updated version installed via the proshi_m6_en aroma installer. I did do full factory reset via the debug menu and followed all instructions, so the installation is very clean. Everything that doesn't need root works perfectly fine, xposed even shows up as active. I've tried a few things, like updating to the new v22 magisk app via the v22 magisk manager, but I always just run into the same boot.img unsupported error as above. Maybe I've missed something, let me know if you need anything tested, as I do have a few M6 to play around with that I don't mind bricking.

On an unrelated note: your paypal says you are not accepting payments.
[General Topics] Mentalmuso:
try installing magisk manager v7.5.1 , im using that one with success. Getting root access now. I think half of it is actually the super lag we are getting with having play store, i have put together a very stripped down version of the stock firmware, removed a load of useless apps that all take up precious ram. I am simply downloading my preferred streaming app (deezer) and a couple of other useful apps (terminal, root explorer, magisk manager) and storing them all on my ext sdcard to install after clean install. I seem to be having a pretty fluid experience now.
[General Topics] mclaudio:
anyone can fix da M9 file? it does not install any file to the device...
[General Topics] mclaudio:
no fiio m9 ? :((
[General Topics] Admiral_Face:
Still no luck I'm afraid. I don't see much of a point in using the playstore, it's much too large for a 32-bit arm processor running less than 1gb of ram, you should probably flash without it and just get aurora on fdroid, I did this before even messing with firmware, no lag, no annoyances. Sadly still no magisk. I'm going to attempt to manually add the new magisk into the firmware image, hopefully that might work, I'll keep you guys up to date with my progress.

I have a problem getting all the CDs from my DLNA server. FiiO Music only lists about 200 CDs from more than 500 CDs on the server. Other players behave similarly (e.B. MediaMonkey).

The DLNA players on my phone list all the CDs, so I assume the server is fine.

Restoring the original firmware V 1.0.4 does not help. The kernel version after restoring the original firmware is 3.18.4-user-g70eb6b8-dirty. Is that okay? Doesn't look like the Fiio factory version, I think.

Is this problem known and is there a possible solution to it?

No, don't had this problem on the original Rom. How to restore it? Just installing the official firmware seems not to be anough. All files of the albums are of the same format (flac), synced or unsynced.

Is it possible to reset the M6 to delivery state? Seems flashing just a stock rom doesn't do the job. Possibly there are changes on the system partition that gets not restored?

After flashing the latest stock rom the kernel version string is "3.18.14-user-g70eb6b8-dirty". Is this the version string of the original kernel as delivered by Fiio?
