[Xiaomi Mi 11] TheGejsza:
Hi,

TL;DR - How to swap from Vodafone operators RKBEUVF Rom to Global or EU so I could keep using G-Pay. Preferably without unlocking bootloader

----------

Full version

I received a Mi 11 as graduation gift and found out that I have some kind of vodafone operators rom. I can't find any information about future support for this rom (It is still sitting on Mi UI 12.5.5 with Android 11). I've searched a lot of online topics about switching ROM and nothing works for me.

I was using XiaomiMiTool2

First - what I tried:

- https://xdaforums.com/t/switch-from...-region-without-unlocking-bootloader.4351309/

- https://xdaforums.com/t/install-xia...-global-without-unlocking-bootloader.4356497/

and plenty of other solutions from google. Nothing works.

I've tested multiple rom version both EU and Global (RKBEUXM/RKBMIXM) . I've managed to pass the token error but I still need to wait for unlocking bootlader.

I tried to install official ROM and Local Rom - as you can see on attached screenshots nothing works - in case of Official ROM I need to unlock bootloader and installing local ROM says "could not verify update". With Local rom I tried to use multiple Recovery and Fastboot rom versions (as you can see on screenshot) and nothing worked.

My questions:

- AFAIK unlocking bootloader will make my device "not secured" and I will not be able to use G-Pay? Can someone confirm it? I can unlock bootloader in 14 days the official way but I am afraid that I will loose option to use G-Pay.

- I heard that after unlocking bootloader and flashing rom I can lock bootlader again - but If I flash the wrong ROM I will brick my device. This Vodafone ROM seems to be EU version - will I brick my device if I'll lock the bootlader after flashing EU or Global ROM?

Is there any info about this Vodafone rom support? To be honest If I'll get updates even 6 months later than EU/Global I would not mind but I want to make sure that this rom version will be supported at all in the future

Can I somehow flash rom without unlocking bootloader? As currently I need to wait 14 days to unlock bootloader the official way
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Pikaone41:
it's very simple: you unlock your bootloader, you flash the last EU rom 13.0.4.0SKBEUXM with miFlash and lock option. TADA ! G-Pay working
[Xiaomi Mi 11] TheGejsza:
Thank you kind sir!

Yea, that's my last resort but I just wanted to be sure that I will not brick my device after locking bootlader. I've heard that if you load in a wrong ROM you can brick device.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Pikaone41:
EUVF or EUXM are the same region. You can relock your bootloader without problem. I did it with a EUOR (orange) to EUXM
[Xiaomi Mi 11] TheGejsza:
Can you tell one last thing - how to lock bootlader? Or will the XiaomiTool2 will automatically lock my bootloader after swaping rom?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Pikaone41:
In MiFlash there is an option named : " clean and lock
[Xiaomi Mi 11] pYdzin:
You can lock it, don't worry. I've done it on my Mi 11 operator ROM to EUXM and lock, nothing bad happened.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] TheGejsza:
I'll be able to unlock bootloader in 5 days and report my results here later.

I was kind of worried because in Mi 11 settings (as you can see blow) it is said that I have global version but the rom indicated that its actually EU rom.

View attachment 5578459
[Xiaomi Mi 11] pYdzin:
I had the same doubts, Global description is confusing (like most of actions done by Xiaomi:) in fact it is EU ROM for sure. Unlock it when time comes, flash EUXM fastboot and lock it, should be ok. Like I mentioned, in my case everything went fine. Watch couple of tutorials on YouTube, it can be helpful.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] TheGejsza:
Which tools did you use exactly? I plan to download newst EUXM ROM and use official MiFlash option "clean with lock".

I thought about using XiaomiTool2 but I am not sure if it will automatically lock the bootloader again.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] pYdzin:
XiaomiTool2 didn't work. I used MiFlash, clean with lock, exactly. Just remember to download fastboot stable ROM .
[Xiaomi Mi 11] galev_90:
Hello.

I have problem with my mi 11 bought from Vodafone.I took the phone from ebay from person bought it straight from Vodafone.The phone was with miui 12.5.I saw that and decided to unlock bootloader and flash xiaomi.eu or global.Everythings is okay, but in the moment when i put the simcard(no matter slot 1 or 2) the phone try to register it in the carrier network (not Vodafone) for maybe 15 seconds without success.After this period it restart to miui recovery....

If i put the simcard, make factory reset there are no issues.The phone took the sim and work... To the moment when i remove the sim, and after put it back, same story... I must do factory reset to get success....

Tried 2 versions of xiaomi.eu and the official global stable...

(My bootloader is still unlocked)

Any advice guys, never before i didn't get this type of problem....

Hello, my title resume my question :how to force GPRS instead of EDge or 3G ?

I've an old offer orange called Orange Sans limite wich have to be used on the GPRS settings..

Or, on the diamond as if i disable the 3G , the edge still be here..

I must have to stay on Gprs simple.

Anyone could have some solution?

I've already try to tweak something with schaps configuration but nothing good :(

Thanks a lot for your help!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] TheMusicMaster:
I believe you can set this by clicking => start => settings => personal => telephone => band

I don't know if these are the correct names because i have a dutch phone..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] moyse007:
Yes that's the trick i used to do to : band : GSm

But like this there is still edge and not GPRS icon and connection :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] abbas_sheikh:
GPRS Force

On Band tab

Select your network type: GSM

Select your GSM/UMTS band: UTMS(900+2100)+GSM(900+1800)

Press OK .. [it may end existing data connection Press Ok to that as well]
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] moyse007:
This is what i do since i've ppc ...

Exept that i've GSM 900 +1800 and Umts 2100

But stil edge connections and not GPRS :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] gstaylor:
Force use of plain GPRS instead of EDGE

See also here: http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-337798.html for this question without an answer.

A good reason for doing this is that on many EDGE networks is if data is actively being transferred many networks will drop incoming calls (caller gets busy/voicemail) which I think is due to a lack of available free timeslots to notify the phone of a incoming call (all slots filled with your data and your phone stops monitoring a control channel I think. Some, but not many edge networks, can tell the phone about the incoming call via the data slots. With plain old GRPS this problem does not occur.

If when you are not using it your phone could use plain old GPRS to sync email, download RSS feeds etc, then there's zero chance of missing an incoming call.

Unfortunately I haven't found any way to do this.

I have a 11th Gen 32GB FIre HD10. I use the tablet daily. Yesterday, I noticed that it is not charging. The charge symbol (lightning bolt battery) is still seen but the charge just isn't going up. I charged it for hours and it is still at 64%. I tried switch power supply and USB-C cable. At one point, it went to 65% but stopped. If I use it without plugging in, the battery will go down. And it will not go back up again through charge. Tried reboot. Power cycle. No difference. I have Fire Toolbox installed so the firmware isn't auto updating (since November 2021).

I am at lost right now. Is there a way to fix it without factory reset?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
May be a battery failure, a port pcb failure is the next most likely cause.

A factory reset will likely just waste your time.

If the battery capacity has been declining and especially if it decreased a lot in the last month or two, it's almost certainly a battery failure.

Any swelling is a failure, if so replace immediately.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookin:
The tablet can tell it is charging and battery indicator appears to indicate the activity (by decreasing). It just seems that the charging circuit is faulty. But then, I have not come across any similar behavior through search.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Do not charge with the screen on as it will skew the charge curve.

It may be the power controller circuit but more than likely it's either the cable, the charger, the battery or the port pcb if it has one.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookin:
Unfortunately, that is the only way that I can use the tablet now. I fear that once battery dropped too low (e.g. 5% or less), it will refuse to boot and I will not be able to use the tablet even if I have it plugged in because the battery % will not go up.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] middle_road:
I can think of something to try.

I have one old HP TouchPad that I have to charge this way.

First off, make sure you have a known good USB-C cable. I had one that was not uni-directional, I would only work when inserted one way. I'd try connecting it to a PC with the cable and see if it is connected. It might even give you the warning that it is connected to a low power charger...

Scrounge up a couple of lower power charging bricks, say around 2w or less, and power OFF the tablet,

Connect up the tablet and see what happens.

On my one TouchPad I have to use a low power wall wart to get it to charge. It won't even charge on the wireless cradle.

It will also charge off a PC at times.

Good Luck!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookin:
My problem went away awhile after a period of not charging. But the charging problem returned. I think the battery is charging but for some reasons, it is not reflecting it in percentage. On the other hand, the percentage is falling while it is in use.

The thing about the Fire Tablet is that there appears to be no way to charge it with tablet powered off. As soon as it is plugged it, it will power on.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookin:
6 weeks passed. I still have the same issue. Basically, the battery indicator is incorrect.

My Fire HD10 is still being charged and appears to hold a charge even for long period of use. But often times, the battery percentage will stop well before 100%. The exact number where it stopped increasing changes from time to time. It could be 41% today and it could be 33% tomorrow.

I have tried using it til it shut off. I recall that I can charge it back to 100% but the issue will return.

I need to make a tough choice. I am still on pre-7.3.2.2 firmware with Fire Toolbox. If I send the tablet back for "repair", I will most likely get back a refurbished one running 7.3.2.2+. But I also want my battery issue resolved.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
A sensor on the mobo may have failed.

Observe what the battery voltages are with the shown battery percentage.

If the voltages don't match the percentage then it may not be hardware...

On an Li the voltage between fully discharged and fully charge aren't that much, around 1 volt or so like on a Samsung 4.25 volt battery.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nocturrne:
I had the same problem with my 2021 Fire 10 tablet. I eventually realized it was not charging while connected to 5GHz WIFI. If I turn WIFI off or connect using the 2.4GHz band, it starts charging again. The 5GHz connection had become unmetered for some reason. Deleting the connection and making a new one as metered solved the problem, temporarily. Not sure how it is getting changed to unmetered. Really annoying bug.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarniasiren:
I had the same issue as the OP. Tablet only about 5 weeks out of warrenty, Amazon no help.

Saw the post by nocturne and would never have thought that could resolve matters but gave it a try. I was usinng 2.4 so changed to 5. It worked, I have now charged it twice and its done it quickly. Thanks for posting
[Samsung Galaxy A12] Bafif:
My device is a Samsung A12 model SM-a127m, I unlocked the bootloader and installed root through Odin following several tutorials on this forum. My initial and current goal is to install LineageOS on the phone and the moment I'm stuck with is installing TWRP or any custom recovery.

I went from forum to forum looking for files to install through Odin, I tried as AP all the ones I could find one by one and what happens is that the phone works, I can enter the download mode and I can start Android but I cannot start the mode recovery, neither the TWRP nor the original stock, when I try to enter the screen simply goes black.

The output of the "adb devices" command says that my device is in recovery mode but TWRP is not showing up and I don't know any other way to install Lineage.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] qtrnasser:
Fun fact: you can install twrp via the Official TWRP App Linked here.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] TomConVerd:
Installation of LineageOS 18.1​

These are my experiences installing LineageOS on my OnePlus 7T. I come from a Oneplus 3T LineageOS 18.1.

Installation worked smoothly after I found the correct files to download: I used TWRP 3.6 hotdog (not hotdogv2), latest LineageOS build, copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip, OpenGApps pico.

I was a bit surprised that after I installed LineageOS und rebooted into recovery to flash the GApps, I got into LineageOS recovery instead of TWRP (I guess because it's been installed on A/B partitions).

Restore of my apps and data​

Most trouble made the Backup/Restore from my old phone. I made a local backup using SeedVault (Build-in in LineageOS). The final backup was only ~1,5GB in size. To copy the folder to the new phone I had to go through the setup process skipping all other methods to restore the data. Then I copied the files using "adb pull -a /sdcard/.SeedVaultAndroidBackup/ ." on the old phone and "adb push .SeedVaultAndroidBackup/ /sdcard/.SeedVaultAndroidBackup" on the new phone. Then I searched for a method to start the restore process and found this: "Go to your dialer app and type *#*#7378673#*#* or use the vanity number *#*#RESTORE#*#* by typing the letters in your dialer". I was surprised how well all went. Most app data was restored (some not, like sensitive banking app data), but no images or other files which was best considering the size of my data. I copied these files afterwards.

Problem with Google calendar sync​

Unfortunately, I recognised a few days later that the google calendar sync did not work any more. Using "adb logcat" to find the reason, I got this:

W GooglePlayServicesUtil: com.google.android.syncadapters.calendar requires the Google Play Store, but it is missing.
E GooglePlayServicesUtil: GooglePlayServices not available due to error 9

So this came as a surprise. I don't know what to make of that. I should have Google's method to transfer the data I suppose. That worked with my wife's phone even from an older android version.

I suspected

1) that it might be a problem with the google play certification and tried to register my phone with google as described here: https://www.lineageos.org/Google-Play-Certification/, but that changed nothing.

2) a problem with the SeedVault data restore.

Any idea what might be the problem and whether a factory reset would fix the problem?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] archcry:
I am also experiencing this problem on my Oneplus 9 running LineageOS 18.1. Last successful sync was on the fifth of march. I think this is a problem introduced in the LineageOS version I flashed on the sixth of march but I am not sure.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] TomConVerd:
I could replicate the problem with a second device. Replication steps: Clean install of LineageOS (older version, so that you can make an update later) with Open GApps. Login to google account during the setup. Activate calendar sync. Update to new version of LOS => calendar sync stops to work.

I did the same with MindTheGApps and it works. So it was my mistake to install the wrong version of the GApps (on the installation page of LineageOS, MindTheGApps is recommended).

Side note: How to make a clean install: Reboot into recovery, do a factory reset, adb sideload LineageOS, reboot into recovery again without booting into the OS and adb sideload the GApps package.

How to switch from Open GApps to MindTheGApps: Do a clean install. I tried to do an installation without a factory reset but that did not fix the problem.

Disclaimer: I'm an end user with IT background. I'm in the process of migrating to LOS on OP7T.

Why not use global ROM unzip it to ops & flash with msm tool (O2) ?

I flashed my le2110(bricked) that way and after updating android 12 it says I got a le2115 lol

Here my working msm tool drivers (setup exe) all you have to do is download the global rom , I believe I used fizzy of XDA , it saved me twice

I've held on to my old Note 9 for the last 3 years to use the native mobile hotspot with my GF data on Verizon.

I picked up an unlocked Pixel 6 Pro yesterday. Tried using the mobile hotspot and getting the attached popup when trying to use out of the box.

Is this something that can be bypassed/used simply by rooting?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] IntrepidJake:
There is an app on the playstore called "NetShare" - basically it pulls your data and it allows you to use it as a hotspot. Read the instructions and setup the proxy settings before you can use it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You should be able to solve the problem by rooting and using the correct modification, which may or may not be available as a Magisk Module - however, I haven't been on Verizon in five years, so I only vaguely know what others have said more recently, which I've read, and which generally matched how it's always been on Verizon.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Rescue9:
Yes, there is a magisk module for tethering. It works very well, thought I haven't seemed to need it after dumping my pixel 4xl for the 6 pro. https://github.com/evdenis/tether_unblock
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rester555:
Another bypass is if you have a VPN account with someone. You turn it on in conjunction with the app VPN hotspot. Through the app, you can bypass the tethering provision of Verizon
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] murphyjasonc:
I'm currently using VPN hotspot with a VPN provider and it's working great. Does anyone know if the magisk module posted above is a better no hassle solution?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Usually, root solutions (like the Magisk Module) are more seamless in my experience, but if that's the only reason you would root the phone, you may want to consider not doing so.

I root my phone, but I root my phone for a lot of root modifications.

I had posted in this thread tethering. I am on the original grandfathered unlimited internet plan still and don't want to change anything

for reference, this is what I did

Root your phone with magisk.

Install the Magiskhide Props Config module

Use some app that let's you have access to terminal

Type "su" for superuser rights, then type "props" to access configuring the module.

Enter 5, Add/edit custom props

Enter n, New custom prop

Enter net.tethering.noprovisioning

Enter true

Enter 2, post-fs-data

Enter y

Enter y to reboot
