treid it this morning, and it looks and feels great so far.. no errors. 👏
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] jrvenge:
Would it be possible for somebody to post a guide for this, never installed it before?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] SanHelios:
I'm not entirely sure what you mean tbh. Would you mind to explain?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] SanHelios:
Hey, i wanted to report a bug...

After i installed twrp permanently by advanced settings, i lost the touchscreen, after i rebooted into recovery.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] vamsi209:
how did u recover sir ? flashed original boot.img?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] vamsi209:
as of now, no use of flashing twrp as there are no proper custom rom, but inorder to put this ur phone should be unlocked, to do that follow this guide https://xdaforums.com/t/unlock-change-from-chinese-to-eu-rom-and-root-guide-with-magisk.4338671/
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] SanHelios:
Kinda... i booted the twrp-recovery bootimage by using

fastboot boot twrp.img

that brought me back to twrp and restored touchscreen-control. In twrp i formatted the device and completely wiped all partitions, so i would have a clean install. After all that was done i returned to bootloader and used the fastboot-image to clean-flash everything. I wanted to do this anyways, so no biggy.

It's still okay to use it, but installing it on the device as permanent recovery doesn't work as long as the touchscreen doesn't work at all.. but when this is fixed, go for it.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] SanHelios:
already did all of it... :)
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] imjyotiraditya:
Fixed!

Thanks for reporting..

Phone is already unlocked as im running 21.9.28 lol
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] vamsi209:
to just run this twrp, u can boot your device to bootloader, open terminal or powershell, and use command

fastboot boot twrp*.img

this will boot your twrp recovery,

as mentioned by @SanHelios there seems to be a small bug when u r flashing it permanently as recovery,

and the dev already got a fix for the same, he will mostly update the links tomorrow, i tested and it was working,

this is the file he provided, link, @SanHelios test this mate

download the above file,

use fastboot boot twrp*.img, and go to advance, and click on flash current twrp,

it will patch your boot.img file and flash the patched boot.img with twrp recovery

use volume up and power button combo to boot into twrp
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] SanHelios:
Thx for your awesome work, man.. 👏👏👏👏
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] jrvenge:
I still dont get what it actually does lol
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] SanHelios:
You mean, the general function of TWRP?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] jrvenge:
yes
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] SanHelios:
TWRP is a well-rounded recovery for android-devices. There's a lot it can do, but basicly, you use it to flash/install software or images on your device. If there is a custom rom you wanna use, you flash it via TWRP, since the stock roms-recoveries only flash/install their associated roms. Apart from that, you can wipe or format your device, so it will be "clean" if you want to make a fresh installation.

In the past it was simple to install it, because devices were mostly A-only devices with a dedicated "recovery"-partition. To install it, the most common way was

- Boot into Fastboot mode, connect android via USB

- open computer CLI/Shell-window

- "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" - Enter

The Mi Mix 4 is an A/B-Device, which means that the vital partitions are doubled and there's no "recovery"-partition anymore, since all recovery-functions are parked in a different partition. TWRP offers the ability to install itsself according to the A/B-Partitions-scheme and therefore becoming the new System-Recovery. Here the installation-steps are different.

- Boot into Fastboot mode, connect android via USB

- open computer CLI/shell-Windows

- "fastboot boot twrp.img" - Enter <- Starts the system using the image

- Touch Advanced

- Touch "Flash Current TWRP"

If a custom rom ever becomes available, there's certain routine you want to do...

backup vital information and files

format device

wipe all partitions

flash Firmware required

flash rom

flash Google Apps i.e. Open Gapps Project or NikGapps if available and desired

wipe dalvik-cache/cache/data

Enjoy
[OnePlus 9 Pro] tathagatab:
I did something stupid just now. I tried to soft-reboot my OP9P for the first time, and it stuck at the boot animation going round and round forever. So I hard-rebooted it by holding down the power button. Now when I power it up it's asking me for a password. Thing is, I don't even remember setting a password. But it will be factory reset if I say "forgot password", and that will be a total disaster.

Is there any way to bypass this?

Don't set screen locks, don't encrypt internal memory, never set bios passwords and never ever encrypt data drives...

or you will suffer, eventually.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] tathagatab:
None of those works for me, because I'm at the recovery stage, not the Android lockscreen. But thanks for trying.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] blackhawk:
Sorry, sort of thought as much.

The password thing may indicate a hardware failure in the flash memory or a rootkit.

A complete reflash maybe the only cure if possible. Even if that works other issues may reoccur if it's a hardware failure.

Flash memory data shouldn't mutate by itself.

I have emui 8.0.0.

I used two themes before, one of them only for its icons, and it didn't affect the app drawer icon nor widgets.

I customized the icons in the Theme app by adding a pink border, it also makes all the icons round.

View attachment 5422365

Recently I tried messing around a bit and editing the themes that I have with hwtTool.

Now it seems like it's impossible to have both the icons I want from A theme, and the app drawer icon from B theme.

Any way to fix this?

From my understanding, the icons shouldn't affect the App drawer, because the App drawer uses the file in com.huawei.android.launcher and not the icons file.

[XPERIA X1 General] jon@direct.co.uk:
Does anyone actually know what the state of play is with Tmobile and the X1?

I have read on another forum that people have been told in stores that they are going to stock it, but tmobile people on the Forum say they are not going to stock it at all.

Anyone got any clues on this?
[XPERIA X1 General] Naffets:
I spoke with T mobile regards this, and was advised that they would be stocking the X1 but that it'd be in a few months. This is due to, and i quote, "all recent sony touch screen phones have been crap" - i.e they will be quality testing the **** out of it (Maybe rebranding it/the software) before considering selling it to the consumer.

As a result, when my contract is due in 10 days, I'm not renewing.
[XPERIA X1 General] foaf:
Thanks Naffets. I really want to stay with T-Mobile this year due to the good customer service/back-end systems they have. But at the end of the day the first network to stock the X1 gets my money :)
[XPERIA X1 General] Naffets:
i can say with 100% certainty that o2 will have it, and will be despatching this coming monday. (o2 stock it at the moment but cant ship until then apparently)

Yay, one X1 ordered to arrive on Monday :D
[XPERIA X1 General] Naffets:
spoke to t mobile on 23/10 - they wont even confirm if they will be doing it this year - and thats after i said i'd leave if they aren't doing it straight away - useless, really.

UK:

Carphone Warehouse dont know when it's going to be in. They advised next couple of weeks.

Vodaphone had a Dummy Unit and were to busy for me to ask if they had any in stock before I left.

O2 dont really have a clue, salesman looked a bit dumb founded when I said Xperia. He said SE are having quite a few releases in the next 2 weeks to a month, so come back then.

Just dont know which to go for, Omnia (Free on T-Mobile @ £30/m for 18 Months, 700 Mins Unlimited Texts) or Xperia (Free on O2 @ £30/m for 24 Months 600 Mins and Unlimited Texts) ...

Xperia felt a lot smaller than expected and I didn't see too many issues with the D-Pad, but then it was the Dummy Unit. Omnia was obviously thinner but felt like a boat width ways. Hmm ...
[XPERIA X1 General] hutchy69:
CPW already have the X1, as do mobiles.co.uk and Vodafone.

I have a Vodafone X1 but I'm using my Tmob sim as I have a better contract with Tmob.
[XPERIA X1 General] alien.46.uk:
Which CPW you on about then? My 2 Local places both Didn't have them and didn't know an exact date when they'll be in ... ?

And yes Mobiles.co.uk do, but tried to order today only to find them Out of Stock.
[XPERIA X1 General] bbusybookworm:
I'm curious about something.

From the looks of it T-mobile will not be carrying the X1 instores for a while.

But how are companies like Expansys able to offer it for free or at reduced prices with T-mobile contracts?

And are those models unlocked or T-mobile branded?

Just curious as I've already ordered mine from Clove unlocked, but wanted to know how this system works.
[XPERIA X1 General] eyebeebe:
They sell the unbranded version which they have bought at wholesale prices. They also sell you an airtime contract, for which they receive a commission from the provider. They use this commission to subsidise the sales price of the handset.
[XPERIA X1 General] bbusybookworm:
Fair Enough. i figured it might be something like this but nice to see some confirmation.

Was thinking of getting it on a contract, before I realised that I'm going to be spending over 6 Months travelling and didn't want to pay the price of a new expensive contract ehn I'm not going to be able to use it.
[XPERIA X1 General] Alex Atkin UK:
You have to laugh. At their price I can stick my current ufix contract for 18months, buy the X1 off play.com and its STILL cheaper than them.

Granted you don't get the minutes etc but at least I am not tied into a minimum contract either. That said, I'm more tempted by Orange as they have an 18 month contract which is almost as cheap as buying the phone outright off play.com, when you total it up.

Theres no ideal situation for me though. I wanted to keep my number but I also want to keep my T-Mobile loyalty discounted ufix 15 as its only £5.01/month. Sadly if I move my number I lose the ufix and have to start again, if I don't move my number I have to mess about telling everyone it and then have to tell them again in 18 months when I moved back to my T-Mobile SIM.

Incidentally when I asked T-Mobile a couple of days ago about the X1 they said "oh, shame you didnt call either as SE reps were here". Basically, she didn't know but said hold out for about March next year when a load of new handsets launch. Bonkers though, I can get the X1 on Vodafone (crap coverage in my area and bad deals so its a no-go), O2 (tempting) and Orange. Why are T-Mobile holding out?

I don't know how they have the cheek to call SE touch phones crap when their support of my HTC Wizard/MDA Vario has been none-existent. There have been exactly NO software updates since I bought it about 2 years ago. I had to get a cooked WM6 instead for it to actually perform decent but I really need a much brighter screen as its invisible in daylight, on a dull day.

Does anyone have the X1 and a Wizard? The sound quality on my Wizard was crap so I never used it for music playback. I would expect a SE branded phone to be at least reasonable to excellent sound quality. My Sony MP3 player is better sound quality than my surround receiver and on-part with Walkman phones, or so I have been told. How is the X1?
[XPERIA X1 General] bbusybookworm:
Well, I'll (Hopefully) have my X1 in a couple of days so so might be able to comment on the sound quality of the SE X1 compared to the Wizard.

I wouldn't be able to do a proper head to head as my kJam (Wizard) conked out completely yesterday (I've been nursing it along for a few months) but should be able to give a general idea.

Still the only time I really used it for music playback was when I was using Stereo bluetooth as plugging an adaptor or using the standard headphones was such a pain.
[XPERIA X1 General] jon@direct.co.uk:
Hmm Curious. Just spoke with T-Mobile and expressed an Interest in Leaving them to go to Vodafone for the Xperia and the guy says T-Mobile will be getting it in the next 2 Months due to the high volume of people asking about it! I cannot leave for 2 Months anyway so dont think the Guy was just trying to keep me.
[XPERIA X1 General] bbusybookworm:
Double Post.

Sorry
[XPERIA X1 General] bbusybookworm:
I'll be doubtful of claims by CS or retention Reps.

I've had a lot of them say whatever they think will keep the customer there, including promising things that have only been rumered, or they know is not going to happen.

T-Mobile will probably get it, but as to when thats the big question. We've seen some rumours around that they were not going to be adding new phones till then next financial year, as their acquisition budget had run out for this year. How sold those rumours are I don't know, but the couple of TM reps I talked to say they weren't sure when the Touch Pro was going to be in stores, let alone the X1.
[XPERIA X1 General] Alex Atkin UK:
Well we can keep our fingers crossed. They said they noted I was after the X1 too, so I guess more of us need to show interest.

Although I am not sure I would go with T-Mobile anyway because is there really any point on staying with them? I lose my loyalty bonus as soon as I choose a new phone!? I am thinking of going with Orange instead and keeping my £5/month ufix 15 on my Wizard or another phone.

Anyone been with Orange? Are they any good? I have so far been with BT Cellnet which became O2, Vodafone (rubbish in my experience, poor reception) and T-Mobile. I'm not sure ANY will pickup 3G around my home but then thats what WiFi is for.
[XPERIA X1 General] bbusybookworm:
Well, It really does depend on where you are.

I've been using Pay as you go, and for that T-Mobile and Three's rates have been excellent. And coverage here in Nottingham has been pretty good. An interesting thing to note is that they signed and agreement last year to merge their 3G networks, so if you can get 3G coverage from one, you probably also have it from the other.Still, Three's 2G coverage is provedd by orange I believe.

I've got an orange chip, which I mainly used for international calling, but not for data as orange rates and max daily charge were higher the T's (Think there the same now). but its mainly been lying shut off as a backup right now.

I originally switched from Orange to TM a couple of years ago because TM had the better rates, and I've been pretty happy with my decision.

Still, it does really depend on your usage, as I don't really make a lot of callas from my mobile. I usally use a combination of skype and Vonage for most of the stuff, so Data rates and Text chargers were more important to me, as well as decent cross network charges for the few call I did make,
[XPERIA X1 General] Alex Atkin UK:
I think its fair to say that with the X1 I would use a lot more data than I ever could on the Wizard. I usually fell asleep before a page loaded over GPRS and on WiFi QVGA was just too small for practical surfing. The combination of those two once took me 20 minutes to top-up the ufix via the T-Mobile website on the Wizard, although I was on the tram at the time and GPRS barely works at all in a moving vehicle (understandably). Thank goodness they have SMS top-up now.

Calls wise, I found the 200 minutes I used to have was perfect. I don't think I ever went over. But the 50 minutes I have now is far too few, I find myself not using them purely because I don't want to have none left when I am out of the house. False economy, as its made the landline bill go up by at LEAST £10 worth of calls that would be inclusive on the mobile. So that's £10 I can write off towards the X1 contract.

I certainly couldn't warrant buying the X1 outright but I don't want to end up in an 18 month contract on a useless network either. Most I ever paid was £15/month so £25/30 is new territory for me but worth it if it saves money on the landline overall. Thats why I think I have to keep the T-Mobile loyalty too and start fresh on the X1, so my mum (who I am her full time carer) can call me for free when I am out. Thats another chunk of the landline calls that obviously would not benefit from me having a new contract, as they have to be made TO me when I am out.

So its complicated, as none of the packages are intended for a budget although it can work out that way in the long run.

I generally used the Wizard to check prices down town to see what I can get cheaper online and what is a bargain. Even with the T-Mobile £1/day cap (not worth having web n walk for a few days a month use) it can still be worthwhile.

Ideally I think getting an X1 then swapping SIM cards might work best, but network locks are a pain. I hear a rumour Vodafone stopped locking their phones, but thats not good as Vodafone reception is useless in the house. :(

This is getting way off-topic, is there somewhere else this message can be moved?
[XPERIA X1 General] Howshall:
Just thought I'd add I called T-Mobile UK upgrades today (Wed 5th Nov 08) about Vario IV (Touch Pro) and X1. The upgrade's lady I spoke to said there's still nothing on their system in terms of expected launch date, but they didn't expect many new handset launches now until the new year.

This ties up with some posts about X1 and Vario IV on Modaco that T-Mobile are doing G1 launch and then trying to offload old stock including a lot of Vario III's until end of their Q4.

What was interesting is that, without prompting, because they didn't have either of the phones I wanted yet the upgrade's lady gave me a 6 month duration £10pcm discount on my monthly bill (with no additional tie-in as I'm now out of contract) as a 'Loyalty discount' to tied me over and keep me on T-Mobile till they do get the new handsets in.

Thought others not desperate to upgrade might well want to phone up and get a £10 per month discount for the price of a free phonecall (Dial 150 from your mobile then '3' for upgrades). This info has also been previously discussed and recieved by others on Modaco forums, but thought it was worth mentioning in this thread.

[While I don't approve of cross posts I do plan to add this to suitable posts on both X1 and Touch Pro forums as this is a simple thing people can do to save some money pre Xmas]
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
When I left T-mob two weeks ago I had a good chat with one of their retentions managers over their upgrade policy, and she was pretty clear that they didn't have any option to offer new phones on upgrade till the middle of January at the earliest, I was also offered the reduced loyalty deal and when I said I was going to VF to get the phone she asked if anyone else would take over my "loyalty deal" and I'd have a cash bonus. Really bizarre..

If the G1 had lived up to the expectations then I would have stuck with them, my advantage was on it's last legs so I needed a new phone. I'm really enjoying my X1.
