I have flashed my Xiaomi 13 pro to Taiwan ROM. It has built-in phone recording feature out of the box and it works great.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h8Aramex:
You can use the Patreon version of Xiaomi EU which has a call recorder in built. It's not free, but it's a small price to pay.

Mediatek phones suck. But people will never learn. :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milamber:
Is the T variant the same as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj_ooms:
No. The Redmi series are midrange phones. The T series is normally a more budget version of the original high-end phone released at the beginning of the year. In the 13T case it is a budget version of the Xiaomi 13 series, though this year they have used Mediatek SoCs instead of Snapdragon. The 13T series will be the more capable phone and has a better camera system, where Xiaomi has used their Leica collaboration for it's image processing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOSS8:
If you want custom ROMs, don't buy a Xiaomi with Mediatek soc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milamber:
This is good to know thanks! I know nothing about them, but I need two of them and didn't know this - thanks!

How many variants of these phones are there? I noticed huge price differences between the T and the Chinese variant ($400 AUD)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milamber:
Thanks for the info, appreciate it! So from the list you provided, the only one to choose for custom ROMS would be the top one. I will look into the price of this and specs compared to Pixel 8.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOSS8:
Yep,Qualcomm soc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milamber:
Interesting the Xiaomi 13 Ultra has a SnapD. 8 Gen2.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOSS8:
The 13 series has more Qualcomm but not the Note 13 or T series.

But the price is not the same.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milamber:
Just saw that! Not cheap!! Just to confirm this is the phone that you suggest, reason I want to double check is because on the official site it has the word "note" missing from the full name of the phone https://www.mi.com/global/product/xiaomi-13-pro/specs but on this site the device name has the word "Note": https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-xiaomi-redmi-note-13-pro
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOSS8:
These are 2 different models.

One is only for Chinese market and the other is for International and CN market.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milamber:
So for International, would this be the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro?

I though this phone has native phone recorder build in
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdrozdzik97:
Global version doesn't

Kind question: I have global rom in my 13t pro. If I unlock and boot taiwan version - can I still lock it up afterwards? Or do it need to stay unlocked for taiwan to work?

Ideally I'd want both call recording and locked phone, I have had some bad experience with xiaomi.eu + magisk (google apps not working etc.) - but maybe it's the way to go?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x7nofate:
What are disadvantage of bootloader stay unlocked?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOSS8:
If your device is Global, you can install any version and lock the bootloader except a Cn rom.

No need to root a Xiaomi Eu rom for everything to work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdrozdzik97:
As I said, the constant problems with Google App Store cert, not working Google Wallet App, I had problems with Revolut as well. Of course, it's manageable but needs effort, patching etc.

Thanks, I'll consider that tomorrow, when I'll be able to unlock (after 72h).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOSS8:
Certain banking apps or such as apps allowing you to have a driving license, identity card, passport, etc., on the phone, use the "Strong integrity" protocol which detects the status of the bootloader and no workaround currently even with modules Magisk.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x7nofate:
Is that apply also to Taiwan ROM? Would everything work on Taiwan ROM?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOSS8:
Not if you lock the bootloader.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x7nofate:
I am so confused now. As far as I know on Xiaomi 13t pro global rom if I:

1.Unlocked bootloader

2. Install Taiwan ROM

And after that bootloader will lock itself then everything will work correctly

But now you saying I am wrong?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOSS8:
The bootloader does not lock itself, it's a choice.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x7nofate:
I do not understand, before you said everything would work

So now I am very confused. Plan is to unlock bootloader, install Taiwan ROM then lock bootloader back again.

Could you tell me what won't work?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOSS8:
"And after that bootloader will lock itself then everything will work correctly"

I'll tell you again that it's a choice with Miflash, so not automatic.

I don't understand what you don't understand.

Bootloader locked=OK

Bootloader unlocked=Root+magisk modules.

Hello,

I am looking to buy an Xiaomi Phone, which I can modify (however, whatever is necessary) so I can enable internal CallRecording.

Now I am confused with waiting still 19 days to get bootloader unlocked. Can you explain what is meant with this? Why need waiting?

Isn't it possible to add a (recorder) program which was extracted from an ROM like it is possible at huawei? That app fits, because it it is signed by huawei.

Is there any solution? ANd I prefer to use also Google Wallet etc.

Thank you for your Help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOSS8:
Do not buy a Xiaomi device with a Media Tek soc but with a Qualcomm soc.

2/Nope, for stock roms, apart from flashing an Indonesian or Taiwanese rom or a Xiaomi Eu rom.

For the rest, it depends on the device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x7nofate:
Do not buy xiaomi phones. There are so bad, phone are very hot, I was on holidays recording videos. When I tried to playback those videos they got no sound, and time show 00:00. I need to restart phone every 2 days others way phone is laggy when I use camera. I moved files with folders from one place another one but gallery does not see a difference. This phone is so ****.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georg3003:
Oh Thats really bad. Thank you for this Info. But what can I get better?

Yes, I. read that on this thread already. No Mediatek. So Snapdragon or whatever there is more.

Can you recommand me another brand? where I can simply activate CallRecording? At My very nice P20Pro (Huawei) the screen just died. And I bought another same Phone with working Screen and changed simply the Motherboard, because I had no possibility to make an backup of the phone. Now I am looking for a modern replacement. My P30Pro works also well. So now I am looking for a used Huawei with google in a very good shape.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOSS8:
Another brand for a native call recorder, nope, it depends on the legislation in your country.

With root, it's possible but you still need to be able to unlock the bootloader.

Xiaomi allows you to use other stock ROMs or custom ROMs which requires unlocking the bootloader.

Unlocking the bootloader on other brands is very difficult or removes functionality for life, which is not the case for Xiaomi.

If you choose a Xiaomi, don't buy a CN model that was released with hyperOS, otherwise unlocking the bootloader will cost you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georg3003:
Yes I know Samsung with Knox. But I heard something with changing CSC or was it SCS via Odin, but had no occasion to dig the internet for this.

And I thought maybe "Xiaomi" but it seems better not. And do not think about my legal problem with recording. I need to handle that, or not. But I need thank recording. If it is switched on when I am talking with you, Iwill switch it off. ;-)

But no other recommanding?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOSS8:
No other recommendations, for me Xiaomi remains a safe bet for this.

In my country, companies can record conversations, this means notifying them at the start, but not individuals, which I find unfair because in the event of a dispute, you can request the recording, but as luck would have it if you are right it does not Don't find them, but if they're right, you'll get it.

This is why I record all conversations without notifying anyone.🖕
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georg3003:
Sounds good, and the tests of the Phones are not really bad. Have to think.

Oh really? Which Country if I may ask.

Yes unfair....

BTW I am from Germany, and Vodafone (I ha..e them) Told me at recording a device once 1 eur and every month 1eur. Then they billed me 50eu, and they don't know nothing about either recording or other content of the verbal contract. So through them away, and don't get in any relationship with them. After that, they made my Internet DSL-Line better. Better from 50mbit to 25mbit. Sounds good!!! But I was lucky, after 1Month the contract finished. Never ever again Vodafone Germany. I do not know how they are in other countries, but I do not want to test them.

Yes, if I record something for me omportant, it is for me like my personal notes. For nobody else.

Problem

5 days ago, the device randomly went off. It never happened live, but when I left it on for a while and came back, it was off. I had to plug in/out the power cable, and the stuff started working again. Until 2 days ago; It couldn't boot anymore. The red light kept burning.

Indications

What I found out is that the device is permanently in MASKBOOT mode. That's great, at least it is in a mode I can do something. So I tried for hours and hours to erase flash (worked) and upload new firmware (the original one) and it even gives me a green success in the Factory Tool. However, I must say; When it goes to 68%, it suddenly jumps to 90% and 100% and finished.

But, when I plug it in the TV again, the device just stays red. Probably again in MASKBOOT.

It is not possible to create a dump wit rkDumper. rkDumper says that the device is not online, even when it is clearly listed:

Rockchip device is not in MCS or LOADER mode

Look at 1.13 (2207:320c). It's clearly there. But it still thinks it is not it Maskboot or loader mode.

This is the backplate btw:

btw, if you have the same pcb (blue) as me, short circuit these 2 (in red), and it will go into MASKBOOT

What I have tried

Short circuit the pins to switch mode. But it just keeps switching to MASKBOOT, nothing else.

Put multitool on SD card: This works, but multitool complains about the fact that there is no emmc available. I have a toshiba NAND chip.

Put Firmware on SD Card: This shows "BOOT" on the led, but that will stay there until the year 50030 i think. Nothing really happens. (Or is it?, i have let it run for 4 hours)).

Is this thing really dead?

A little update: I was able to get the original ROM on a SD card and the device is loading it. But after the splash screen, i see the typical andriod "No command" screen
[Android TV General] kerosene221:
Did you find a solution for this? I have exact the same box but in my case shorting these two pins results in a buzzing sound from board (i think something is frying). Device is permamently in maskboot, but only when I'm not shorting these pins. When I'm shorting it there is no status. AndroidTool is uploading firmware only to 2-3% and then finishes (with success), FactoryTool is doing the same, except it finishes at 60-65%. After uploading device is again in maskboot/maskrom or whatever it is called.

I've read many posts at russian forum and many people have this problem. I think there's something wrong with processor or memory (broken electronically).

BTW - how did you manage to put original ROM on a SD card? By simply paste .img file to the SD card and putting it in the device?
[Android TV General] niquedegraaff:
That's normal. You are shorting the circuit, so that sound is expected ;). I heard it too.

I have not fixed it. The ROM chip is probably bad. And I suspect - by design -.

All you can do is buy a new ROM chip and flash that. But the problem is, those ROM chips are expensive to buy for a single qty. I found the chip I had on my board, but the manufacturer asked a whopping $161. View attachment 6035445

I did not do that. I bought a new device (Hk1 Rbox X4 Android 11 with Amlogic S905X4 processor) for $55, and I must say, I'm very satisfied with this one. It has a better CPU than google Chromecast too.
[Android TV General] kerosene221:
In my case, the eMMC memory is probably faulty. The device is still in maskboot mode. I have copied the system to the card using "SD Firmware Tool" and it displays a message that some partitions cannot be mounted. The same is true when trying to update from the SD card using another option of this program. I also copied one of the armbian versions to the card, but there in turn I got the message that armbian has nothing to upload the system to, because no eMMC was detected. Then I found advice from a Russian from another forum that in case the eMMC memory dies you can upload another version of armbian (to which he provided a link), using the "balenaetcher" tool. In this case I was able to get armbian working and it would probably work with the SD card inserted (because it showed me the desktop with the cursor), but it's pointless because the remote control probably doesn't work, the display probably didn't work either and you'd have to have an extra microSD card specifically for the box. It's pointless. I've seen such memories for a couple of dollars each on Aliexpress, but here in turn I'd have to be able to solder a BGA chip, which I can't do. The device would go in the trash.

PS: I've also tried heating the eMMC with hot air, but with no effect.
[Android TV General] rxmattskii:
Hey dude, I don't know if you have resolved this already but you are already on the right track. Just experienced the same thing last night on my device and this is what I did to make it work.

* Download your firmware here: https://www.h96tvbox.com/firmware-download/

* Create bootable SD using: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1EnkXblSt0Tn5L-kPthIVxV9eQZkSCn-N

Once the firmware is on the SD card, load it to your device and try to boot without pressing anything else. Simply load SD and apply power. If that doesn't work then try to press the reset button as you apply the power till you see the splash screen then release the reset button.

Hope you get it to work.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Pawprints1986:
Is this possible? I've tried adb backup but that doesn't seem to do a full system image, just some app data maybe

I've not rooted this device as too many apps can tell now, and I've never gotten a concrete answer as to whether custom recovery only (twrp) which needs the bootloader unlocked will cripple these same apps, and I know you can't re lock it once it's done. I'm not sure what these apps can "see". On an older device that is rooted I've even had something as basic as a weather app yell at me about root

I've been running it for a bit without root playing with it/testing, most things I can still do in roundabout ways, like adb for system app removal, greenify amazingly still let's you stop unneeded system apps that you might need once in a while or I'm not confident enough to remove

The only thing I still deeply miss is the ability to do a full system backup/restore if needed.

Is there a way? I'd rather not use Google or something, I'd like to keep my own backups
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] V0latyle:
No.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] blackhawk:
You have expandable storage, use it.

All critical data goes there. A copy of the dcim folder on the SD card must not have "dcim" in the folder name; rename something like Master Photos 2023, etc. Organize the data.

Only apps, the download and dcim folders go on internal memory. Make sure contacts are backup on the SD card. Backup any apps that have provisions for it like Poweramp. Then regularly and redundantly backup the SD card. Congratulations you now have a dual drive handheld PC.

It's best to hand load after a factory reset. A good load can last years. SmartSwitch can be used but it can fail you miserably, use as a secondary backup only! It compresses data, not recommended for media files!!! Never clone or compress media files; always copy/paste.

Use a good V-60 rated SD card like the Sandisk Extreme. Get a .5 or 1tb card. Format in the phone then leave it installed; do uploads/downloads to it through the phone only.

>NEVER< encrypt a data drive ie the SD card!

Never share it with another device. Even if the phone boot loops, crashes, or gets smashed your SD card and data will likely survive.

Don't be lazy, do it the right way. Organize your files to to fit this strategy. Put some thought into it first. Reloads will be a pain but much faster and straight forward with no critical data left behind. The load will be squeaky clean and mint with data user corruption to screw it up. The last thing you want to have to do is do it twice!
