[Xiaomi 12 Pro] indy2061:
Hi! I've bught a chinese 12 Pro with an unlocked bootloader and global firmware.

After accidentally locking the bootloader the phone only booted into recovery.

Mi Unlock wouldn't complete re-unlocking (message was: Please add your account in MIUI's Settings) so I resorted to one of these technicians with access to an EDL authorization server.

He was able to flash MIUI 13, China, Fastboot version, but the phone started showing the "system destroyed" message.

We also tried MIUI 14, China, latest. Same result.

So now I'm stuck with a phone with a locked bootloader that only starts in Fastboot mode.

Any ideas of what should I do next?

I read about flashing individual images using fastboot but I don't know if this is allowed for this phones in EDL.

Or maybe flash some Dev or other special version?

Thanks for any advice.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
If you have paid, see this with the technician who has an obligation of result.

Try to flash this rom in EDL mode.

[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] the flying dutchman:
Hi guys,

I recently dug up this ancient piece of hardware wondering if i could get it back into a usable state again, as expected the normal windows 11 edition was almost unusable. So i created an ISO based on https://tech-latest.com/ghost-spectre-windows-11/. Its completely stripped down version of Windows 11 and has an intuitive command line tool to install your needs.

NOTE: As with all custom windows builds be careful about putting in personal data, i don't know the sources, I just added the drivers.

Bugs:

All drivers are already installed, only thing not working is Camera... but let's be honest... that thing never worked 🥲 please SHARE if you found a solution

Instalation instructions:

Download iso here: https://mega.nz/file/5YwHyRaR#kgjrw2iQI23EvW2V6ReqlUu1-Rs9GT60zzhPXSNU-CA

Download Rufus here: https://rufus.ie/

1. Use Rufus to create a bootable USB

2. Dont use any of the Rufus options to customize your install

3. After creating the USB connect it to the tablet through a USB OTG adapter

4. Press F2 while booting up, select to boot from USB

5. Wait till in the windows install screen (this can take up to 15 mins).

6. Go through windows installation (can take up to 1 hour)

7. your pc will automatically reboot

8. set up admin password

9. connect to wifi

10. open GHOST TOOLBOX on the homescreen.

11. you'll see a menu with numbers, type in the number of the feature you'd like installed and it will guide you through the installation.

Tip: start downloading a browser first

yeah I know, the install time is insane. But at least you will have a semi-usable tablet.

MAKE A BACKUP OF THE ISO( IT'LL BE ACCIDENTALLY DELETED IN THE FAR FUTURE).

THIS ISO WILL ONLY WORK FOR THE FIRST EDITION YOGA BOOK WITH WINDOWS 8. DONT SEND ME A DM QUESTIONING ME IF IT'LL WORK ON [INSERT GENERIC CHINESE BRAND]

Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor :)

“I installed Ghost Spectre Compact without DEF and I would like to add it. Can I upgrade without reinstalling?” Thanx:)
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] kakalotfreedom:
You saved my life! Your ISO was very helpful, and the solution you provided was both light and stable. My yoga book was broken and wouldn't boot, but now it's working very well. Thank you!
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] the flying dutchman:
Thanks, it's good knowing I didn't do it for nothing. I mostly created it for myself but was so surprised with the usability that I decided to share.

Tbh I'm not really sure if this ISO is compliant with the MS Terms of Service. So I would recommend to download a backup

At least this ISO makes the tab usable and I'm happy I could share this goodness
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] the flying dutchman:
Btw, I discovered that the camera's are not working with this iso. Please let me know if you found a solution
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] Minanapil13:
just working with superlite and its not good for audio production like Pro Tools my CPU not working with all cores even if i want to change to make my CPU work with full core from

System Configuration in windows >boot>Advanced option

is grayed how can i fix this?

and if i want to go with compact is any way to ypgrtade without losing setup plugins and configuartion installed before to make the system
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] kakalotfreedom:
I attempted to install Android and Windows Lite on my slow Yogabook, but it resulted in it not starting up properly and being unresponsive to touch. However, with the help of your software, my old sluggish Yogabook now looks great and runs smoothly - almost like a brand-new device. Thank you very much for your assistance.

about the camera, check on setting, camera VO2740 is working well for me. You can try to update the drivers (instead of the battery driver)
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] the flying dutchman:
This is weird. Tbh I never looked into that and the perceived speed of the device is faster. Maybe there are some changes in this build that affect the multi core performance? Maybe the lack of TPM and windows 11? Is hyperthreading and or virtualization enabled? And have you tried it on the normal version of windows 11 and was it different? It could also have something to do with the limited CPU. I'm busy with my graduation internship, so don't really have time to delve into it myself
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] croupier:
Great work! I installed on my YB1 X91F, very fast and much better than win10 intern of interface and GUI design. Thank you Flying Dutchman.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] sugarcove:
Is GhostSpectre spyware?

Installing the latest Windows 11, Compact with Defender version, went swimmingly, no problems at all. After finishing with its embedded toolbox and after installing other programs as well, I also added BitDefender – system scan all clear.

Not that pleased with some of the modifications though, I thought to have another go, as you do. Compact version again, but now without Windows Defender. I also decided to install BitDefender early in the piece, well before turning to that vaunted toolbox or installing any other programs.

This is when the fun started! On opening the toolbox, each of the three times I happened to link to the internet in fact, BitDefender went ballistic, guaranteeing dire consequences but for its obliging neutralizing/quarantining actions and blocking more than fifty apps on each occasion.

I’ve clearly led a sheltered existence (and anything but a computer expert) for I never before saw it carry on so! It raises the question for me as to why Windows Defender failed to respond in similar fashion during the first install.

I subsequently reinstalled the latter version, BitDefender again front and center, other than uninstalling the toolbox from the first. Third time lucky?

All and any enlightenment welcome.

First of all, please note that there is a difference between 'filter' by date and 'sort' by date. I am fully aware of how to filter by the date, but would like to sort by date with videos in bing. I am trying to embed videos of a specific search term into a web based home page I am working on and have them sorted by date. I am not partial to bing, but have found that most other search engines don't allow their results to be embedded. So bing or another search engine with videos, as long as it can be embedded, would work. Any help would be appreciated.
[Windows 11] xXx yYy:
What has Bing ( a search engine ) to do with Windows 11 OS this forum is dedicated to?
[Windows 11] bryan5255:
I'm using a windows 11 operating system on the computer I'm trying to get it working on. It was either this or 'Apps and Games'. Neither of which felt like it was a great fit for it as it's a browser and not a typical app. Either way, still trying to figure out how to do this.
[Windows 11] bryan5255:
With that said from earlier. Is there a better forum for this post? And really it's a search engine and not a browser that I am asking about, so even less of a definitive of a topic as it does that same regardless of what operating system or browser you are using.

I have IGO8 GPS software installed on my X1 and it works great. The only problem is if I'm listening to music on an external player (Windows Media Player), the music drowns out the IGO8 turn by turn directions.

Is there some way to have IGO8 pause or mute the external player?

Hello guys.

I bricked my device trying to swap from CN ROM to GLOBAL ROM, my PC is now fully detecting my device as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, now I just need a compatible stock ROM file, but amongst the posts here I couldn't find any .elf or .mbn firmware, only .BIN or .OFP. Could anyone point me in the right direction to where I can download a compatible QSPT/ QFIL firmware for my device?

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] liltechie:
Is it possible to install lineage os (los) on a xiaomi redmi note 8 pro?

Reddit (

https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/mnri7q
) and lineage os wikipedia (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/#xiaomi) and fork /e/ of los (https://doc.e.foundation/devices) deny and

mention just xiaomi redmi note 8 and 8T as compatible.

On youtube (

) there is a video showing flashing a claimed unoffical custom rom of lineage os for xiaomi redmi note 8 pro.

My questions regarding this are:

Is it really possible?

Is there a true unofficial custom rom?

Who made this custom rom and why can't one find it on xda?

Is this unofficial rom a fake or scam?

Please feel free to hit me with anything that is on your mind.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Kirasu2080:
Better to find what you need from custom rom first. Your mind is thinking of LOS. But it don't have maintainer. They just build 1 or 2 build and drop.

And don't trust YouTubers too much. They made review for more views more than daily rom for users.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Myhand:
Why shouldn't it be possible? You need the LOS source and the device source, make changes and compile. Why arent you asking the developer, it is DarkJoker360, the maintainer of the official crDroid ROM for this device.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] liltechie:
Thank you. Which los source should I take? How can I make changes und do compile? How do I get to know, who is developer like here DarkJoker360?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Myhand:
- Lineage OS source > https://github.com/LineageOS

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] tmeader:
Has anyone received the March firmware yet (US, unlocked)? Given that the patches for the massive baseband vulnerabilities are included in the March version, I was hoping Samsung would get it out ASAP, but still nothing on my end. Wanted to see if I was alone in this?

For that matter, did anyone ever receive an update in February for this phone? The last update I've got is for the January Security patch (also brought OneUI 5.0 to the phone).
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] PlutoDelic:
A535E with March here, but from what i know, those vulnerabilities will be fixed with April release.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] nsfxpython:
I believe I saw an article somewhere that said you can turn off WiFi calling on your device to protect yourself from the vulnerabilities until the patch to fix is released.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Deleted member 2092952:
And then there was an article like it may have been patched already or something.

Use it or don't. Whatever :)

I'm keeping mine on.

@tmeader

Updates with Samsung happen when they happen no matter what one you get. Some may be worse than others depending on what holds them up. Its all kind of random though. Unlocked doesn't mean much for timing.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] tmeader:
Unfortunately disabling WiFi calling doesn't actually negate the issue. You'd have to turn off both WiFi and LTE (which is now basically impossible to do in the US) to protect yourself properly. I was just hoping that Samsung would try to speed things up given that its an issue explicitly with their modem hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Deleted member 2092952:
Yeah, was just going to say that. Forgot that's actually why I wasn't turning it off. Doing so won't necessarily help in this case.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] tulips2:
Im unable to see the wifi6 band. using latest standard rom (no root). I have mange to see it after a reboot to safemode and back, when back to normal boot wifi6 disappear after a min or two,.. then can redo and same happens,

Any idea how to fix this? (no format)
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Snah001:
First I would check your router.

Many top brand routers let you set up the 5G part (used by Wifi 6) in many different ways, from channel selection, bandwith, auto settings etc..

I suggest to fiddel around with these settings to see which is best. When you use DFS channels there can be interference by radar systems of nearby airfields or military installations so better not use that setting.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] tulips2:
Think I have fidle around everywhere I can fidle. I have seen 6ghz just breefly sometimes. Updated firmware on phone, router. Chenge all settings in the router. Been in android safe mode. Only thing left is factory reset of phone. Was hoping to not need to do so. Btw Is an Asus axe16000 round
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] tulips2:
Update. Done factory reset on phone and router. Still no sign of 6ghz 😩
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Danacy:
In your Asus router settings page (never use the app), in the tab 'wireless' you see AX wifi 6 mode on enabled? Multiband Agile on off. Time to Wake on off too?

Little below (same tab) under 5Ghz you can select or deselect 160mhz to see if that happens.

There is also a Asus Merlin firmware which is generally considered a better version of the regular Asus firmware. I highly recommend. For your model:

Asuswrt-Merlin - Browse /GT-AXE16000/Beta at SourceForge.net

Alternative firmware for Asus wireless routers

sourceforge.net

Just get the Beta and get the stable 388.2 when it's available. It might help :)
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] tulips2:
Thanks, I have that router and running latest merlin.. Tryed the settings you mentioned. Still no joy.🤔

Btw i tryed the xiaomi support. What a waste of time. Kinda hilarious. 🤣🫨 Was "painful" to read. (so little knowledge) 🤯
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Snah001:
Maybe you can test the phone on a friends home Wifi that supports Wifi 6 or maybe you did that already?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] tulips2:
No one I know have, but I tested a app to map wifi called wardriving or something to log every wifi it can se when driving/walking around. Not descover any random either.. 👀 Consider unlock bootloader to check other roms if any. Since I do believe I have a firmware bug
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Snah001:
On which version and region your 12 Pro is now running?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] tulips2:
runnig V14.0.8.0.TLBEUXM 13.0 Europe
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Danacy:
Xiaomi support is just to comply to certain laws I think. The conversations I've had myself were absolutely sad.

But, I would recommend Xiaomi.eu ROM if you're going for a custom ROM. Should not be needed for wifi 6 but it's the best free upgrade you can give your phone anyway.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] tulips2:
Yea. Been thinking about installing it. 🤔 🙂
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Snah001:
But you still did not test it on a different Wifi 6 ap.

Why is this so important?

Because the root of your problem could still very well be at your router at home and since you did not rule that out it is not wise to fiddle around with custom rom's when maybe your phone is not to blame.

I've been using my 2XL for a long time, still runs fine. I saw there's a good deal on ebay right now for a refurb Pixel 5. Is it worth upgrading ? I'm guessing camera will be similar, size is a bit smaller.

Also I guess I should root and custom rom my 2XL this being XDA but I stopped doing that with Pixels so I'm still on 11. I also want to keep unlimited photos backup so not considering a 5a/6.

I'm sure there must be others who did this upgrade, any thoughts?

My qn is is the upgrade worth it or will I not notice much difference?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] manjaroid:
Well, there's this to consider...

Owners of older Pixel phones are losing out on 5G (or one form of it, at least)

www.androidpolice.com
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] ECrispy:
I did see that, don't know what to make of it. Seems like a pretty big deal but I don't see it being discussed anywhere. Isn't 5G a huge selling point and shouldn't it affect a lot more phones not just the Pixels?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] manjaroid:
I don't know what to make of it either. Chalk it up to more Google cynicism I guess. I don't think it's enough reason to pass on Pixel 5, especially if you don't care about 5G standalone (I don't) and 4G does its job. Apparently newer stock Android builds disable 5G SA and rolling back before March gets it back. I don't really know for sure, only what I've read so far.

who gives a flying f**k about what an Apple-Fanboy has to say about WinMo Devices ?

He can berate our Hardware until he starts bleeding from every orifice, but the iPhone will never be as customizable and extendable than ANY WinMo Phone, period.

Best example is AppStore... you get to pay for second class (and that's really saying it in a nice way) software that only has a few functions which are badly implemented.

Also, you are seeing what kind of Audience Apple is trying to attract when you look at the "Facebook" App.

They should release apps for MySpace, Twitter, StickAm and stuff like that for all the young and hip media-prostitutes out there too.

Cant see why the fuss - the review was pretty sh*t but the phone looks like a bloater, its way to thick for my taste and makes my Touch look like its super thin. And his comments about the interface are true - in its pursuit to make eye candy HTC keep making it slower and more error prone. I would never buy an Iphone as i love the customization of the HTC but for your average phone user who does not want to learn anything at all the iphone gives them all they need.

well it's definitely not thin, thats something I can live with, granted all that it does. Guess when there is a phone with all the capabilities of the TP as thin as a diamond with a 5 row keyboard, then we can complain.
