Glad to see that it's possible to unlock the device.

Has anyone a detailed list which exact drivers to install?

Tried already many methods and unlock tool versions and Xiaomi Mi Tool V2 (by Francesco Tescardi), but nothing seems to work. :(

Any help is very much appreciated.

The latest MIUI unlock tool (6.6) - yes, must use version 6.6.510.37,

I tried to use latest version which is 7.6.602.42. is keeps asking to give verivication code.

I got, this message when try to unlock the redmi pad.

"Please unlock 156 hours later"

At least it can detect the redmi pad and i'm on the right track.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] petrapas:
You're on the right track.

Like mentioned here:

You just have to wait the time shown and then you will be able to unlock it.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] satria150:
Hi Petrapas,

My redmi pad is finally unlocked today.

Since this redmi pad has chinese rom, it does not have google playstore.

I need google playstore to play clash of clans.

Now, i want to replace that chinese rom to global rom or indonesian rom.

Please guide me how to do it.

waiting for reply with best regards.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] petrapas:
You need the MiFlash tool and the correct ROM to flash a different ROM on your device.

Just follow this guide only with the appropriate ROM for the Redmi Pad:

By the way: There seems to be a way to just install Playstore and Google Framework on every ROM:
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] kailashnj:
I followed all the steps till the step no. 12. My Redmi Pad was pushed to fastboot mode using the power button and vol - but when I type fastboot devices in cmd, it does not list any devices. I only get this.

When I try to enter the command fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img I get waiting for device. What mistake am I doing here.

After the device was unlocked, I set it up again, went to developer options and also enabled debugging, OEM unlock too.

Kindly help.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] iloyski:
i think you're supposed to open cmd in the platform tools folder.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] petrapas:
When your device is not shown in fastboot mode, it may very well be a driver issue.

Make shure all necessary ones are properly installed.

Thanks for this, that article link seems to be down.

Does the Magisk version have to be 23.5 or can it be a newer version? And if 23.5 is required, where can I find it? The Github seems to only have 23.0.

Edit: Okay, 23.0 wouldn't work, and I wasn'y unable to find v23.5, so I used a newer version and got it to root successfully.

Just wanted to share a find. Recently compiled custom roms LineageOS and VoltageOS.

I am not the dev who created the roms.

[EDIT]

Just tested LineageOS - It's working but quite laggy.

Found the official downloads for VoltageOS.

Everything is working as I can say so far. Stable and smooth. No complains, Installed about a week ago.

Redmi pad yuluo twrp ?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] My phone is 8 years old:
想請教您是如何安裝這個ROM的因為voltageos的rom好像不是線刷包，而是卡刷包，但是redmi pad 並沒有twrp ，還是voltageos的ROM其實是線刷包只是我不會使用

Mod Edit: English Translation Below

I would like to ask you how to install this ROM, because the ROM of voltageos seems not to be a wired flash package, but a card flash package, but the redmi pad does not have twrp, or is it that the voltageos ROM is actually a wired flash package, but I don’t know how to use it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Teyrn:
Hi,

Help please, this is driving me nuts... I am using above program on my phone and had no problems at all since initial installation couple of months ago. Now each time I open the program it crashes and closes after approx 30 secs after opening. I have done the hard reset of phone, deleted/reinstlled R66 files etc. Checked for upgrade to my phone software, the ROM upgrade apparently is not for my phone (i entered my serial no and it said not compatible). It is a UK phone had it approx 4 months.

The file explorer for R66 says I have files 2577, Data, Device, but it keeps creating a file called 3DNavigator, and replicating that file as 3DNavitagor.temp.ini.

I am sure this is the problem, as I deleted these files and got the program to run for more than 30 secs, if you delete these two files I find I lose all the settings in R66 and have to go back and customise the settings again, which I think may be creating this file.

Any thoughts please? I desperately need a fix for this, R66 support a bit stumped as well. I have plenty of storage space as this is the only program I have on the phone other than the preinstalled HTC software.

Thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peterc10:
Sorry but can't help with your main query on R66.

However HTC will not allow you to download a ROM if the phone has been supplied with a ROm developed for a particular phone company - you have to rely upon your phone company to eventually provide you with the latest ROM. Try their website instead - I know Orange UK has version 1.93.405 available for download, but i do not know if the other phone companies do.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] wangranchan:
This phone is used by my mother, she said first is cannot be charged, then the phone low battery shutdown.

I replaced the USB-c port and change the new battery, what happens when I try to boot in the list:

When I try to power on, the phone just shows the logo than shutting down.

When I try to connect to the computer, the phone screen just has an animation of flesh charging and an orange light.

The phone can go into fastboot mode but not recovery mode.

So what should I do to save this phone? or just let it go?

[Google Pixel 6] ClemiMD:
Hello there,

for some months now I have an occasional problem with Google Maps. When I start the App, it won't find my location, even though permissions are set. Wiping the cache does not solve the problem. Restarting the phone helps for some days up to a week, but the problem keeps occuring.

Original stock ROM is running, everything is up to date.

Anyone else experiencing such a problem?
[Google Pixel 6] Snow_ball:
Is it possible it's tied to your location? Like spotty GPS reception in the area you keep your phone in when you open maps for the first time in a while? Will the restart fix it while you are in the same location where it didn't work before?

If it doesn't find your location, will placing it on a window ledge or somewhere else where the sky is unobstructed, result in a location fix?
[Google Pixel 6] ClemiMD:
No, it isn't. I usually get a GPS fix quickly even indoors. The last time the problem occurred, it was in the car. When the error shows up, I generally don't get a fix at all, no matter where I am and how long I've had Maps open. A reboot fixes the problem immediately and it then doesn't occur again for days.
[Google Pixel 6] sgill74:
I have had this since I got the pixel 6. Could never get gps to lock

Spoke to the Google support team, they said wait for the next update

Next update came and I still have major issues with gps
[Google Pixel 6] Snow_ball:
I would guess it's a hardware issue - submit a warranty claim

Hello everyone, I hope to find some help here regarding the bluetooth connection on the console of my car. Since the Oos 11 version, the network reception indicator on the console remains fixed. I no longer have the reality of network reception, whereas on Oos 10 it worked very well. Would there be a manipulation to do to rectify this concern. Thank you

Hi, ok you unlock device but it seems not exist any rom to flash, any solution to install magisk for rooting, or recovery to flash... i'm wrong? I bought redmi pad last week, a good cheap device but i can't find any customization (probably for mediatek cpu).

Did you find something?

So i wrote them again, that they are breaking the law (GPL), that was their answer:

My last answer to them was not so nice, because i am so pissed:

Xiaomi does NOT stand over the law. When you guys use GPL-protected software (which you do a lot, e.g. the linux kernel), you MUST provide the information you are hiding right now.

This is ****ed-up behaviour and its against the law.

> Also, to guarantee our users' privacy safety,

Sure, so you mean security by obscurity, so others can not so easily find your chinese spyware, eh?

Go to hell.

So in short: they give a **** and i guess it will take years until a custom rom will be available. They should be sued so hard.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Rambo Ninja:
Yup! Verified it with the "root checker" from play store. :)

They're procedures out there to NOT let banking apps from seeing the root (which is different from older magisk)
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] Rambo Ninja:
Thank you someOn3 for your attempt and your perseverance. Here's hoping it"ll be available soon..
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 5] someOn3:
i received an answer, again... its a joke what they wrote:

So if you need help with legal stuff of Xiaomi, please register at their forum and ask the community, haha. Thats so ridiculous. Is there anyone who can be contacted to start legal actions regarding GPL violations against them? I never had to deal with such a thug-company so i have no idea of the process.
