[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Questions & Answers] [gato]:
Hi everyone!!

It's been a while since I registered and the forum helped a lot in the past. 15 years after registering here I am with a bricked phone (not the first one) but the one that's fighting a lot to come back to life.

This was my wife phone and was working without any issues with MIUI 10. This phone was supposed to go to my daughter and to give her a clean phone went to settings to do a factory reset.

First thing that happened was that, after reboot, it went into fastboot mode and nothing else happened.

With this I flashed using the fastboot tool, all steps went without any issue but when running the last command "fastboot reboot" the phone didn't respond and nothing happened.

After waiting for a while pressed the power button and now it's stuck in EDL mode and as soon as I connect a USB cable to a PC it's detected with the usual "Qualcom HS-USB QDLoader 9008"

Again, went to the standard steps got the no signature ELF file but I'm not able to flash the phone.

Using the MiFlash 2020.3.14.0 the message I get is "Object Reference not set to an instance of an object"

Here's the log

When using QFIL, if I use the original edl file I get the message

When using the edl without signature I get this:

Anyone with any idea how to bring back to life this phone?

Thanks in advance!!
[Android Head-Units] angad03:
Hey everyone,

I just got myself a new android head fitted in my 2017 Honda Jazz. I am a complete rookie when it comes to android heads.

This is the android head I have,

https://www.amazon.in/ADITION-Android-Navigation-Bluetooth-Compatible/dp/B089RK99Y2 ,

only difference is that mine is an Android 10.

let me share some other details about my android head -

Android - 10

Screen Resolution 1290x720

MCU Version : T3L3.19-296-10-A4910D-201201(GD230)

SYSTEM VERSION : V8.1.1_20211215.170804_Theme1-MagicEQ

Memory - Aveg 787 mb of 2.0gb memory used

I had a TLink app that came with my android head which made me use wired car play, I accidently deleted this app and now whenever I install it from versions on XDA, it asks for an activation code or has an error in running. I can't seem to understand how to activate it. Or how to make it run,

Any suggestions??

Im just trying to get my android auto and Car play work on my device smoothly without trouble, if there is another app that you can reccomend , Id be happy to try it.

Thanks in advance

thanks for moving the thread to the help and troubleshooting, I couldnt find any way to select where its poted

I actually find it virtually impossible to find anything in this forum as its so confusing, I wish there were some instructions on how to find the various threads here as everything seems to be hidden from plain sight

I have no idea how you managed to find Forums > Samsung > Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506, Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ah! I see you have it as S 4 not S4 , no wonder I couldnt find it lol. thanks

My youtube app no longer displays a small snapshot image of the video. Instead I get a grey/white TV icon.

The video plays fine once you tap on the title.

Anyone else experience the same problem?
[Touch HD General] Prof. Yaffle:
Yeap, exactly the same problem here. I guess something must have changed at Youtube's end.
[Touch HD General] StHenker:
Hello,

the same here... no pictures in the listing anymore.

Is this realy a "server" problem, or a HD failure?

StHenker
[Touch HD General] riz157:
same here what's going on.....first it's google maps zoom in now youtube, what's next???
[Touch HD General] TTDegs:
I dunno, but it's a pain :(
[Touch HD General] yrreP:
Apparently Google have updated their back end and this is causing problems with You Tube on many HTC devices.

I was told that HTC are working in conjunction with Google to provide a fix.
[Touch HD General] 10076757:
yrreP how did you find this out. good that you told me. i thing i reset my hd about 5 times. thanks for the heads up. do you know when its gonna get fixed
[Touch HD General] yrreP:
HTC told me..!

:-)

It came from an official source in Taiwan.
[Touch HD General] dr_s:
Hope its true and get fixed as otherwise its doesn't make any sense if one cannot see a preview pic in the list.

[Touch HD General] mrpetrov:
When I try to load the YouTube App, it says "Connection Failed" - anyone know why this might be (I'm on a HSPA connection - data is on). Also, when I load the youtube webpage, the thumbnails for videos appear, but the video's themselves do not...?

I've loaded .Net framework 3.5. Any help appreciated!

Petrov.
[Touch HD General] mrpetrov:
I've tried a hard reset now - but still no luck. Youtube app comes up with "Connection Failed". I'm with T-Mobile in the Uk. Anyone else seeing this, either in the UK or as part of T-Mobile in the UK?

EDIT: I've figured it out. If you get the HD from Expansys at least, it comes configured using the T-Mobile proxy server. To get the YouTube app to work, I had to go to Start>Settings>Connections (tab)>Connections (icon)>"Edit my proxy server"> then UN-check the block titled "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet".

Nonetheless, while the youtube app works and lets me play videos via the application, I still can't play videos from the actual youtube.com homepage (or any other flash video sites).

Hope this helps others too. Perhaps even worth a mention in the wiki tweaks?

[Lenovo Legion Y700] JLFitzpatrick:
Thank you for the very detailed review! I have been hanging on to my MediaPad M5 8.4" since it works fine for my needs and I have not found a suitable replacement yet except for the M6 which I can't locate anymore and now potentially the Legion Y700.

Still on the fence about upgrading as I would prefer not to have another device with limited support (not an official Global release) and I don't do any gaming (productivity and media only).

The M5 is essentially a clone of my Note 20 Ultra with the same Nova Launcher setup. Still worth considering and it is interesting to see it recognized as a P8 with the rumors floating around that it may be released globally with that moniker.

Thank you again, very informative review.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] TH4N1X:
Thank you for a detailed review, @solsearch . It's so difficult to find them for China-only devices.

I'm thinking about getting this tablet, but I'm wondering if it has support for hardware-accelerated HEVC (H.265) 10-bit playback. Would it be possible for you to check that? It'd be especially great if you verified it with MX Player, as sometimes despite other programs reporting such capabilities, there's no support in practice.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] LisaMaria:
why dont they give this its own forum. so annoying having to dig through a 17 page thread

I would love to be able to run Windows 10 in this device for some productivity.

I've noticed Android, even in PC mode, lacks absurd features to do some work like open 2 excels at the same time.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] ijuanp03:
This is a known issue in all CN ROM devices - be it Lenovo, Xiaomi, Oppo etc.

CN ROM devices are missing some APIs related to notification (which could be part of any Google-related app framework)

Quick fix? - Press and hold the app and go to app info. Select 'Battery' and choose "Unrestricted".

Lenovo is actually aware of this. Motorola China phones (under Lenovo) built a nifty app called "Device Shield" where you can manually set any app to run in background hence, fixing the notification delay/not receiving notification unless you open the app.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] elm0nch:
Hi there, I can't find the "Press and hold the app and go to app info. Select 'Battery' and choose "Unrestricted"."

I just see :Notifications, Permissions, Data usage ans Storage.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] solsearch:
Hey, sorry for not responding earlier. I don't seem to get the notifications in my e-mail and I don't frequent the forums too much.

Yes, it supports hardware acceleration for 10-bit and also 12-bit (Dolby Vision is 12-bit and it's hardware accelerated, working on the default player and mx player but not VLC). On MX player HW decoding works better than HW+ (Dolby Vision doesn't work on HW+ for example).

One workaround for that is use two different office apps (like WPS and Sheets for example). Theoretically you could install windows (ARM version) on this as it uses a Qualcomm processor but it would require someone taking an interest in it and developing it for this device)

Yeah. The main thread gets really annoying since half of it is dedicated to rooting and flashing and the other half is for people who don't do that so it gets tedious sifting through all the posts which are unrelated to your interest.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] solsearch:
I have updated the review to include the changes I have seen in ZUI14. The changes are at the beginning so there's no need to reread or to scroll down.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] sbfisher:
I assume this review is for the Chinese stock ROM or is this the "global" one (bootloader unlocked with something else flashed)? Is it usable in English if using the Chinese default ROM?

This tablet seems like ideal hardware for what I'd like to use (actually a bit of overkill) since I would like something with more than 4gb ram and at least full hd screen. It is very difficult to find these kind of specs in an 8 to 9 inch tablet from any other manufacturer and there seems to be a big hole in the market. There are many Android cheap kids or reader tablets in the size range with skimpy memory and lower resolution displays but not much that even matches a midrange or higher phone.

I've been using a Huawei Media Pad M5 8.4” until recently when I bought a tab P11 plus since it was on a good sale and the last security update on the Huawei was in 2020 and the updates and support were always terrible. The p11 plus is good enough for me aside from the size. It's too big to really use in bed or hold comfortably in one hand for long or put in a large coat pocket. The larger form factor works for desk or on lap use but it's too big for extended handheld use and the weight is a lot more than the 8.4.

I really wish they'd release a real global or US edition, but I don't believe they ever will despite some unfounded rumors.

I'm really torn about getting this since I'll likely need to do all the updates and maintenance myself and it's basically unsupported which was something I also disliked about the Huawei in the US. Also it's rare enough outside of China that there isn't much of a community or information about fixing problems for it on outside ROMs. I know project treble ROMs are supposed to help yet it seems like there are always parts that don't work in the reviews of these ROMs and risks of bricking the device when updating ROMs.

I've considered an iPad mini since it would have good ongoing support and updates (unlike many of the Android manufacturers) but it doesn't allow some choices that Android gives (like web browser engine) and only comes with 4gb ram and it's Apple expensive pricing.

It still seems like you're liking this tablet after 6 months or more of use? Can you imagine that it will be possible to use for the next 3 years without major issues?

I'd wait if I thought something better supported was coming, but not sure anything is on the way that I can wait for.

I hate the state of the 8" to 9" tablet market these days.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] sanchofro:
Hello! I have the global rom variant. When you say the legion app is removed. Do you mean legion realm ? Because I only have Google play store. And zero legion named apps.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] sbfisher:
I finally ordered and received mine since I'd had enough of my Huawei media pad M5 8.4 with no security updates since 2020, Huawei blocking all updates to Android 9 for US users and making rebranding to European or 3rd party ROMs as difficult as possible.

I really like this Lenovo tablet a lot and at least they seem more open to unlocking than Huawei. The notifications thing is a little annoying, but I generally ignore notifications anyway and still get them on my phone so can live without them.

To the previous poster, there is a Legion assistant in the tablet settings and a Legion Zone app in the Chinese ROM in ZUI version 14 which I have. From what I understand, the "Global ROM" isn't a real ROM that has been released by Lenovo, but is probably a third party GSI ROM that someone else made and some vendors are unlocking the bootloader and flashing the custom ROM before sending out the tablets. That's my understanding, anyway, but never had one to compare.

Some vendors like Giztop switch the language to English and install Google Play before sending out, which is what they did on mine. But that's still a Chinese ROM with the language set to English.

There seem to be quite a few people on the mega thread who have decided to flash back to the standard Chinese ROM in order to get the Lenovo-specific features and optimizations.

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-unbrick-lenovo-y700-tablet.4509297/ is a thread about unbricking and re-flashing the original Chinese ROM after some problems. Seems some people that flash back from the "global" don't automatically get over the air updates unless they can relock the bootloader or get on a VPN to China.

I'm glad Giztop didn't install the "global" ROM for me, but just switched the language to English and installed Google Play.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] nebo0919:
Thank you so much for such extensive review. Are you still using this tablet? Is zui14 latest version still causing any issues or glitches or reboots? I lso heard that for Zui14 one can download APK where you can switch to PC mode manually, wander if you tried that app and what are your thoughts?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Mrxyzl:
Yes just search in this forum zui PC mode switcher. It work fine but I don't use PC mode on a small tablet like this.

I don't have any issue with latest zui 14 doing office work and watching movie
[Lenovo Legion Y700] nebo0919:
Can you confirm that pc mode switcher on zui14 actually turns on pc mode on tablet without it being connected to external monitor, like it was on zui13? Or perhaps I misunderstood something?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Mrxyzl:
Yes I confirmed it work

[Lenovo Legion Y700] batkrak:
Can you confirm what Android version you have? You mentioned Android 11 (unlike stated by GSMArena), but was it on ZUI13 or ZUI14?

I thought updating to ZUI14 would update Android to version 12? No?

Hi i am considering getting this tablet, a few questions

is this still the best CPU for 8" ?? or is there something better in the 8" tablet range

my boss is traveling to China so she will pick me one up while she is there, hopefully cheaper than alliexpress :)
[Lenovo Legion Y700] xnappo:
As far as I know, this is the best 8" tablet on the market, by a large margin, unless you consider a foldable phone.

Personally I love it.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] ou2mame:
Yeah, there really isn't any other 8" tablet that has the amount of ram, or a decent CPU like the snapdragon in the lenovo. That's why I bought it. I tried several others and returned them because they couldn't play games at full detail. This tablet can. And the refresh rate is great too.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] pickie:
ok great ill prob get my boss to pick 1 up while in china then, i guess flashing a new rom is straight forwards ?? zui14/15 or droid

So, it appears that they added pc mode back to the rom in one of their last updates. I didn't have to install anything after updating fully.

I saw this article when searching for information on the tablet.

Hi all, is anyone having problems playing HEVC 10 videos using the native decoder? It's slow and stutters. Tried the Default video app, VLC and MX Player "HW". If I use MX Player HW+ or SW it works fine. I'm currently using the original CN ROM ZUI 13.1.578. Can anyone try in ZUI 14?

I bought Y700 256Gb coming from a Huawei Mediapad M5 8.4. Main use is just for Plex media playback/streaming of HEVC 10 videos which my Mediapad doesn't support natively so I had to use third party apps like MX Player or VLC but it has some small but annoying limitations like external srt subtitles will not load via Plex downloaded videos and your watched episodes/minutes will not be tracked.

Hi everyone,

was anyone successfull in using a 4K display in 4k mode using "Extended Mode"?

My Y700 only shows the PC Mode taskbar on my display, but everything stays on the tablet's screen. Mouse included. Whatever option i chose, either i get everything super huge on my 4K display (it's a 43 inch monitor), or black screen with the task bar that seems adusted to high resolution. On top of that, for some reasons, i cannot leave PC mode until i do a reboot of the tablet.

Tablet is with original ROM, never unlocked, never flashed, updated to ZUI14.
[Lenovo P11] solsearch:
Hey, I figured this video could be of interest to those who have a Y700 if they ever need to repair it or mod it.

It's a detailed tear down in Chinese but the camera work is clear so it's clear/obvious what is being done (even if sometimes you're not sure what part it is). Click the link, not the image (it's only for illustrative purposes).

I wanted to try this since i got a much better phone so if anything happens to my zte then "it is what it is"

Hi,

That's sound good for you and your Tesla, but can I suggest you to reduce your pics.

Indeed when you upload your pics you will find "Insert"

Once you've clicked to "Insert", you will see up "Thumbail" and bellow "Full image".

It's better to click to "Thumbail" and your pics will appears full size whe someone click on.

Thanks a lot for your comprehension ;)(y)

Hi all Nothing Phone users and Tesla owners

The Tesla direct connection is not working anymore at this time due to the new Tesla API
