Yes, I have the exact same problem since using ArrowOS. We received a lot of updates since release but non of them seem to have fixed the problem. The problem occures only when having calls using the SIM card. On Whatsapp the bug is not happening.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] collins_:
The phone of my girlfriend since one week is in bootloop and stay locked on the first Mi logo. I can start in fastboot mode (power + sound down ). She's desesperated to lose 4 years of pictures...

I'm expecting to install TWRP Recovery to dump userdata. So, I installed on my laptop abd & fastboot and i tried several things. Of course,it's not possible to enable "usb debugging mode" on miui (too late :( ).

First, i tried to boot/flash directly with TWRP for Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 (downloaded on twrp.me)

>>fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.5.2_9-0-whyred.img :

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 1.158s]

booting...

but i just got alert on the phone : The system has been destroyed (I hope not !) before shutdown

>>fastboot.exe oem device-info :

(bootloader) Verity mode: true

(bootloader) Device unlocked: false

(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false

(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

>>fastboot reboot recovery :

fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target recovery

>>fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp-3.5.2_9-0-whyred.img

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'recovery' (43884 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.204s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: Anti-rollback check failed)

It seems it's a security to prevent flash an older rom, i red it in this post and try the trick inside:

>> fastboot getvar anti :

anti: 4

finished. total time: 0.007s

>>fastboot.exe flash antirbpass dummy.img

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'antirbpass' (8 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.016s]

writing 'antirbpass'...

OKAY [ 0.016s]

finished. total time: 0.031s

>>fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp-3.5.2_9-0-whyred.img

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'recovery' (43884 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.158s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed in Lock State)

finished. total time: 1.205s

No choice locking problem ....

So I tried to unlock bootloader, but i maintain in the same time volume-down to avoid eraser before hit 'enter' (i red it in this post)

>>fastboot.exe oem unlock :

FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device

>>>fastboot.exe oem unlock-go

FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device

>>fastboot.exe flashing unlock :

FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device

There is a solution to get back userdata ???

Thanks for any ideas ...

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
First off, your bootloader is locked, so you can't use fastboot to flash something.

This device doesn't admit a fastboot oem unlock command as the Android One versions does.

To unlock bootloader you need to firstly had bind a Mi Account with the device otherwise you won't be able to unlock it. In case they did it, then you have to unlock it using the Mi Flash tool.

You can't dump partitions due to the bootloader locked state, this is one of the main things where security relies on.

From here, you have two options;

- Use the test point method to flash EXACTLY the same version your device actually is, through EDL, checking the option "Keep data" in Mi Flash tool.

- The second is, in case to meet the requirements mentioned above to unlock bootloader, the method to avoid that the process won't wipe your data is not allowing device to boot to system immediately after to unlock your bootloader by pressing the volume down but in combination with the PWR button to send it to fastboot mode again, having the TWRP recovery at hand, anyway not warranty that this actually work (I made a thread years before), it worked for me in the past.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] collins_:
Thanks for your answer, my english is not perfect so i'd like to be sure i understand everything. You say : To unlock bootloader you need to firstly had bind a Mi Account with the device otherwise you won't be able to unlock it. In case they did it, then you have to unlock it using the Mi Flash tool.

If i understand i have to bind the phone with Mi Account, but my girlfriend doesn't have any Mi account and her phone is in bootloop :(

I saw there are 2 Mi soft :

*unlock tool clearly won't work in my situation : no account and no miui started

*Mi Flash Tools seems require Mi account too and seems bugged (driver problems)? Bytheway i can see the phone (in fastboot mode) in the list.

I'll try tomorrow to open my phone and bypass the 2 points near the battery to get EDL mode

I cannot see "keep data" in configuration of Mi Flash Tools...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
I also had Whyred and never was required to use an authorized account, newer devices (maybe a specific firmware) need it though.

In order to get device detected in EDL mode you need to install the Qualcomm 9008 drivers, you may follow this guide that also mentions other tool that serves to flash this device, QPST; https://www.thecustomdroid.com/qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-drivers/

Advise you that this forum is for Redmi Note 5/Plus with code name Vince and your device is Redmi Note 5 Pro with code name Whyred, so be careful with the files from this thread, the thread for your device is this: https://xdaforums.com/c/xiaomi-redmi-note-5-pro.7419/

Hi,

I downloaded MiFlash2020-3-14-0 and my whyred ROM dedicated for fastboot on mi.com : whyred_global_images_V11.0.3.0.PEIMIXM_20191108.0000.00_9.0_global_f128798d03

I started my phone in EDL mode and a new port COM appeared:

I can start the flash with MIFlash but i got one error :

And after the xaiomi login window appears (i still cannot connect) and MiTool stay undefinitively in this configuration :

View attachment 5475345

It seems once again i have to connect to xaiomi account (maybe this "fu..ing" Anti-roll Back Protection). I don't have account for this phone, or a special xaiomi one to unlock phone...

I tried this "special ROM" : https://miui.blog/redmi-note-5/miui-unbrick-tweak-arb-error-whyred/

But i got a fast error (flash address problem)

So it meens there is no solution for me except find xaiomi center (in france) to unlock this phone... and maybe get back datas.

This phone is a nightmare :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
To prove if it is the ARB thing you should type fastboot getvar anti and you have some value, when you have a specific value this means that you have to use a firmware from some value.

I think the issue is specific to the Mi Flash tool authentication that it is restricted for end users.

This restriction can be bypassed (luckily) with a patched firehose, just search for a "Patched firehose for Redmi Note 5 Pro Whyred"

There are also some special firmware like this https://androidhost.ru/2ETk?pt=Ukd3...3VDJsTWR6MDlPcmEwWHEyMlRvZUpyU0NXYnJmUVBOOD0= in case you can't download, I tried, and it is able to but...you have to search for "Engineer firmware for Redmi Note 5 Pro Whyred"

good day I have the note 10 plus SM-N975F/DS XXV region here are the steps in order that I have preformed.

1. I downloaded the latest version of samfirm which is 0.5.0

2. I put my model and region in which was SM-N975F XXV left out the /DS and clicked download.

3. I downloaded the latest version of magisk manager from their official website and installed it on my SM-N975F.

4.copied the AP file from the zip that contained all of my necessary files I will need to flash and root my device over to my phone.

5. opened up magisk and modified the AP file and it spit out this edited version named magisk_patched-23000_mEWta.

6. I went ahead and downloaded the latest version of odin which is v3.1.4.

7. I loaded the magisk_patched-23000_mEWta for AP, BL_N975FXXS7FUJ1_CL22340613_QB44974456_REV01_user_low_ship.tar.md5 for BL, CP_N975FXXS7FUI5_CP20293594_CL22340613_QB43267212_REV01_user_low_ship.tar.md5 for CP and for CSC I loaded HOME_CSC_OMC_OXM_N975FOXM7FUH3_CL22340613_QB42323536_REV01_user_low_ship.tar.

8. I went to options and clicked on Auto Reboot so the box is unchecked.

9. I clicked start and everything went as expected.

once completed I pressed power and volume down for 7 seconds and then immediately pressed power and volume up until I was in recovery mode.

10. I Factory reset the device then set everything up like normal after the phone was rebooted.

11. I reinstalled magisk and then I powered my phone off.

12. This time I pressed volume up and power watching it flash twice to the warning screen then I let it go to start the boot process into magisk mode.

13 I went into magisk but i'm seeing that the module isn't installed.

I was only able to get this process to work once, but then my phone shut of and it wouldn't activate root when I clicked volume down and volume up during the startup process.

thanks inn advance,

[Google Pixel 5a] Rich_Palermo:
I bought a Pixel 5a/5g unlocked from Google and installed Android 12 during setup. I am currently using an LG V20 on Sprint/T-Mobile (USA) and have to upgrade the phone to be compatible with T-Mobile starting in 2022, hence the Pixel purchase. The phone is not rooted and I don't have the skills to do so.

Currently, I am evaluating the phone without a SIM card for usability, features, etc before deciding to keep it or return it. I can do email but not texts.

Installed Nova Launcher 7 (Free) to recover look-and-feel of the V20 homescreen.

Issue: I am having trouble getting notifications when the phone is inactive.

- "Always show time and date " is enabled so the lock screen will show that for a while: When I get emails, I will often (but not always) get a sound, the time display gets smaller, and an envelope icon appears

- After some time inactive, the screen goes dark. At that point, incoming emails don't ever show an icon alert. I only know they've arrived by making the phone active, going to the home screen, and waiting for it to contact the email server

- As far as I know, alerts are enabled for the mail app within the mail app and also in Settings for the mail app

The V20 had none of these issues. I'd get alerts on the "Second Screen" without any problem.

1) Any recommendations for how to get alerts to show consistently?

2) Is it possible to get notifications to show on the top of the screen next to the front facing camera or to the right of that where the wifi and battery icons display? I don't want to incur a battery penalty by having the date and time constantly displayed in large format

Supplementary info:

With the V20 and Pixel both on, the V20 alerts to every email within a few seconds. The Pixel alerts at best 1-5 minutes later and sometimes not at all.

[Edited for clarity]
[Google Pixel 5a] nijel8:
Go to settings -> apps and turn off battery optimization for any app you need. I personally have no problems with notifications with battery optimization off for my email app...
[Google Pixel 5a] Rich_Palermo:
Thank you. I've enclosed a screenshot of what I think you said to do and will run my tests again. If it is not the correct setting, I'd appreciate knowing. I've used Android phones for a long time but each version of the OS takes a lot of getting used to.
[Google Pixel 5a] Rich_Palermo:
This has improved the situation to some extent. I got email notifications for five consecutive test messages sent at intervals on the Pixel without any missed ones over about 90 minutes. But, it still takes from 1 to 5 minutes whereas the V20 responds within 15 seconds and always faster than the Pixel.

Any ideas on the latency? (I also just found a setting to allow Unrestricted Data and I set Blue Mail my mail app to have that privilege)

Are there any mandatory Google services for push notifications to work? I generally disable any apps I don't use and can't remove but maybe there is something in Android 12 that I've overdone.

Currently, Gmail, Google, Google TV, and Youtube are disabled.

Additional observation:

Once the Pixel issues the alert of incoming mail, if I access the account through a separate client and mark the mail read, the icon on the Pixel disappears immediately. It is definitely hooked into the account but the notification part is slower than it ought.
[Google Pixel 5a] dkryder:
one consideration may be how your pixel is interacting with whatever wifi you are using. also it seems to me a good test would be on a level playing field so turn off mobile data on the v20 so it is using the same wifi. if it's a hotspot off the v20 then use another wifi source.
[Google Pixel 5a] Rich_Palermo:
I'll try that and report back. The V20 is not a hotspot . It is on the same Wifi network as the Pixel. The V20 did have cellular data enabled on the prior tests but AFAIK, the cellular data is not used when the unit is on Wifi.

Am I correct in expecting the Pixel to have an alert time comparable to the V20?
[Google Pixel 5a] Rich_Palermo:
I disabled mobile data on the V20 and compared it with the SIM-less Pixel 5a/5g. Both are connected to the same Wifi network in my house and are next to each other on a table.

I sent 6 separate messages over about one hour to an email account (not Gmail) setup on both phones on the BlueMail app configured for Push notifications. Messages were sent on the minute mark and all devices were time synched to within a couple of seconds presumably based on a network time server. 3 messages sent from an iPhone using cellular data with Wifi off, 3 sent from my laptop using Gmail. Laptop is on the same wifi network.

In all six cases, the V20 responded in ~20 seconds almost to the dot.

The Pixel "beat" the V20 one time out of six - alert came almost instantly. The other five were 2, 3, 3, 4, and 4 minute intervals (aggregate, not all in a row) and almost always on the minute mark.

I used a macOS mail client to mark the messages as read and the alerts on both devices cleared instantly.

So, unfortunately, it is not the Mobile Data.

But, the minute mark delays make me wonder if the Pixel is polling or requires other configuration to do true Push notifications. e.g. something other than battery saver that tells the Pixel to be continuously alert for pushes.

According to this link, that isn't how Push works but the observations are what they are.

How do android check for apps notifications? Can I change the frequency between checks?

I want to make my phone (6.0.1) check for notifications each hour (instead of each minute, or whatever it's set as default). Is it possible? I'd like to change this value for notifications in gene...

android.stackexchange.com

Does Android have a method to dump all the phone settings to a file? It is possible I tweaked something on the V20 a long time ago and forgot about the setting.
[Google Pixel 5a] Rich_Palermo:
Additional data:

Prior runs done with both phones on battery.

Noticed Adaptive Battery was still on for some reason and toggled it off. Thought I had done that earlier. No effect to alert times.

Plugged both phones in and repeated:

1) Pixel behaves oddly. On battery, lock screen continuously shows the clock. On power, the lock screen locks after 2 mins for a while, then stops doing that but the clock brightens and dims every 30-45 seconds

2) When the Pixel screen is blanked, messages seem to be downloaded but either a sound plays with no display alert or no sound plays and no display alert

Again, marking messages read on another client takes effect immediately on the Pixel mail app.

I have no idea if this is hardware, the OS, or some weird interaction between them. I don't think there are any other battery panels to check. I received the phone on Saturday 27 November and have no idea how to contact Google for an exchange. They say they're very busy and to use their Forum which obviously won't do swaps or refunds.
[Google Pixel 5a] dkryder:
i noticed under gmail settings/account settings there is an inbox notifications. and then a selection to notify for every message. i would think that this would be a default setting but looks like if you want to be notified for every message you have to select it. i normally have these notifications turned off so i guess i'm not the one to offer understanding of the ins and outs but this thing with 2 separate devices not getting almost identical notifications when desired does sorta interest me because i would think they should. i think setting battery usage to unrestricted is correct. another thing i might suspect is the adaptive connectivity selection on network connections. like maybe if you use it then wifi is not continuously on when the device is mostly idle.
[Google Pixel 5a] Rich_Palermo:
Ok, thanks for this.

I think I will have to exchange or return this Pixel 5a/5g. I believe I have everything set up correctly in BlueMail. I have my own domain and IMAP mail service so I don't use any Gmail settings.

On top of all of the connectivity issues, the camera shows some light black "venetian blinds" as I move it around. Other apps such as AirDroid are sluggish when connecting to the Pixel and lightning fast on the V20.

I think I got a lemon.
[Google Pixel 5a] dkryder:
i'll be interested to hear how google handles your issue so keep the thread updated. they seem to be getting bolder with denials of request for returns. the thing with the back of the 5a being kinda streaked with different shades of black is what i have on mine but i've been reading that google seems to think it's not a defect. i use a case so it's not something i get all worked up about but when other people say they think it's a returnable defect i can relate. i'm coming from the 3a and i think this 5a is overall a good evolution of the "a" lineage.
[Google Pixel 5a] Rich_Palermo:
I will update the thread with the return/refund status. This was my first and now my last Google device. I only wish I had punted as soon as the notification issue came up and not spent so many hours running tests.

Their support directions claim there is a "Next Step: Chat or Get a Call" but plow through the steps and you wind up with Ask the Community or Contact Us, the latter which gives "Due to high volumes, you may experience long wait times for customer support. We greatly appreciate your patience."

Fortunately, I logged into my order and saw a "Return" link. I had saved all the packing so it is back in the box with the RMA inside and the mailing label outside, ready to drop off at the Post Office/Fed Ex later today.

Note: Google does NOT list "Defective" or any flavor thereof as a reason for the return. The two mandatory dropdowns hint at problems that might have solutions if you could actually get at somebody. The comment box got a good workout though.

My device looked ok superficially but the innards are terrible. My old, obsolete V20 from eBay running Android 8 outperformed the 5a/5g not just in notifications but with other programs and in general smart design features such as the second screen , removable battery, and excellent cameras with manual controls.

I read and watched a lot of reviews before pulling the trigger on the 5a/5g and I won't ever visit those sites again! I will try to find a service that will take my V20 (it lacks a lot of bands though) and, failing that, go back to eBay and roll the dice there. If I have to settle for lower performance, I'm not paying $440 ($399+tax) for the privilege.

I do appreciate the help from the Forum.
