[Q] 4G/LTE dior won't boot after flashing - [SOLVED]

Original post below:
I had problems with MiFlash (it did not see my Phone). The solution was to remove the stock Android ADB driver from android_winusb.inf from a previous attempt .
I have uninstalled the drivers, then started MiFlash, reconnected the phone in fastboot mode -> it installed the drivers, MiFlash did see the phone, installed the latest stable ROM from MIUI.
Unfortunately Google Play does not work (not even Store!).
-------------------
Hi!
I have bought my Xiaomi phone through amazon and found out it had adwares installed. I have just found this article on receiving these kind of xiaomi devices: Techworm Xiaomi Adware Preinstalled (linking is disabled as I am a new user).
So I went and downloaded the unofficial ROM from xiaomi.eu, put update.zip on my SD Card and started updating from the Updater app (selected the zip file). Now it won't boot, it stops and flickers, sometimes my lock screen comes for a sec then it goes back to the MI logo.
The phone otherwise seems original, I've checked the IMEI on imei.info and it pointed to this phone, and also used CPU Z to verify the hardware. I tried though the IMEI service on Xiaomi!s site , but I can't go through the Chinese captcha to verify it .
The good news is that I can reach the phone through fastboot AND MiFlash (can reboot it with that).
How may I proceed?
I don't have a strong emotional connection to MIUI, so even a stock android would be fine. Or the official ROM, I don't care at this point, just let it work!
Thanks for reading/helping!

[GUIDE] FIX for sensors and camera lag (Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Proximity, Light)

Ok, so a couple months ago, my phone sensors died and after a long time of procrastinating, I decided to try to fix it, I've managed to do it and I'm sharing the fix with you guys, as I didn't found any fix online.
So first, why this happens?
It's because of the phone's persist, that can be corrupted, this can happen if you flash roms, or even with updates, like it was in my case.
How to fix it?
Ok, so first you will need a few things.
Adb and Fastboot
persist.img file (and a couple more files for the flash to work, but I will place a link here)
Xiaomi Miflash (this version will install the drivers, but if don't, uninstall and boot Windows with Driver Signature Enforcement disabled and install it again)
Download All here - it's already modded to flash persist only. It will not wipe your data.
After installing Xiaomi Miflash, you will need to boot the phone in edl mode. You can do this even with you bootloader locked and it will work. To do this, first boot in Fastboot mode (Vol down + Power), plug the USB cable on phone and computer, then open cmd on the folder of fastboot and use the command:
fastboot oem edl
After that, your phone's screen will turn off and the led will keep blinking red.
Now, open Xiaomi Miflash.
Click on Select
Select the folder that you downloaded earlier.
Click refresh, your phone should appear on the list, if don't, reinstall drivers.
Now click flash.
The flashing is quick, and now your phone is fixed.
Any doubts, free feel to ask!

Please help me! I did the flash, it worked correctly! but now you're saying that you have your account and my device is locked! 170 ****** mi account number. there it is reporting that it is linked to your account. please contact me at PM, and help me.

This method is not working for redmi 4x

sorry for my bad English

Different phones
For everyone with different phones, you need to get to Mi website, download the fastboot ROM for your phone and flash the persist only. This can be done by removing all lines from the xml file, except the one that flashes the persist. After that, flash it normally as in this guide.

Redmi note 5a prime
Hi, is this working on note 5a prime?, When I bought it the only problem is when I use camera, causing some lag, need to open and close again. Also when video recording.

Hello. For the first time I write on this forum and I want first of all to thank all of you for sharing your work and knowledge.
I would like to know if I can follow this procedure having already installed the pixel experience rom and the mido 8.2.1 firmware.
Thanks in advance and forgive my bad english.

Aaa
Please help me. I cant boot into edl wih Mi Note 3.

Aa
I cant boot into EDL. So, can i flash it with fastboot. Please help me. Im using mi note 3

Man, I don't really know how that worked for you. Your script erases persist and flashes rpm.mbn to persist, that file isn't even present images folder.

then open cmd on the folder of fastboot...... which folder do u mean ?
i used "C:\XiaoMi\XiaoMiFlash\Source\ThirdParty\Google\Android\fastboot.exe" it detects the device but the phone's screen doesn't turn off and the led isn't blinking red, it stay at the LOGO FASTBOOT ....
i tried to flash it with XiaoMiFlash.. it detects the phone but it errors out...
i have Redmi Note 4 Global Snapdragon Version

Does this method work on custom roms?
Im on Los 15.1 and my gps doesnt work. Will this fix it?

fixed my problem on redmi note 4x
Thank you so much FalconMaster.
it fixed my problem on redmi note 4x (mido).
Thank Thank you very much.
Great guide :good:

So I read everything. Will this method work for my MI 9 global version ? After unlocking the bootloader, I flashed de Android Q beta from the official web page, using MiFlash(I think that's the correct name). So I didn't like the Beta one and downloaded the global stable version, flashed with MiFlash. Everything was perfect, but my Accelerometer and Gyroscope won't work. What do you suggest? Thanks a lot!

Zenfone 3 Max - Can u help to solve this?

Hello, guys
Wanting to expand the memory capacity of my Zenfone 3 max (model zc520tl) I've downgrade this to Android 6 because in Android 6 we can use the SD Card as a internal storage and in 7 we can't.
But, when I did this a huge problem happened: The phone can't recognize my SIM Card!
I've searched a lot and in ZenTalks I've found an Asus Moderator telling that what we need to do is update de firware to the latest version (and it's make sense, cause in Android 7 the SIM was working fine.)
So, now is the big problem that I can't solve by myself: I can't update my phone and I tryed so many ways ...
Look, I had downloaded the latest version in ASUS Support site, move this zip to my internal storage, clicked in "prepare to update" and when it reboot to recovery mode, an error saying a think like "This update is for xxx and this device is with MRA58k".
I had downloaded a lot of stock roms for android 7 and it always abort the update in recovery too.
What I want is just solve my problem with SIM Card. If there is a way to solve this on Android 6, please, tell me because it's better then upgrade to android 7 and can't expand my internal storage.
But, if the way is update to android 7, please help me to do this because I can't do this.
Thank's Allot,
Best Regards

Any update on the camera, or is it possible to use third party camera apps?

EDIT: I think it's IMEI issue, which I've read very common to Asus phones.

Enable Dual Sim on Huwaei ascend G7-L01 (Help required too/Done)

Hello
first of all i know this is an ancient phone, but i've got it a week ago, did so many searches for the 2nd sim,i have the slot but the phone never sees the 2nd... all i got is L01 is signle, L11 is dual...
Reading about L11 i fount its the same phone but dual, and since my bootloader is locked and phone is not rooted, i cant install customs or flash by fastboot cmds... so more reading and search.. i found some tools like cracked boxes/dongles..etc and did hit a mode [EDL] mode which, but phone needs to disassemble to enter that mode [Short between 2 pins on board] anyway some cracked boxes didnt work for me, so i asked a friend who owns a UFI Box to borrow it and do some tests....
Installed L11 software on L01!
i went into edl mode, and did browse partitions, replacing/writing each partiton with its match one eg (gpt>gpt.img...modem>modem..so on) got the files from exracting L11 update.app, and for sure I DIDN'T REPARTITION!
Yeah, now phone is dual sim, ID became L11 not l01 anymore
ISSUE / Fixed!
1- phone battery drains faster, [same heppened after upgrading to Androind 6.0.1 for L01.
2- graphics or fps are much lower in games (too slow motions) also it happened at android 601 for L01.
3- i had no gboard on start or even in settings so i had to install manulally from apk.
Questions...
1- i really want my L01 android 5 ver, since it works perfect for all, but trying to replace/write ONLY modem files didnt work to enable dual sim, im not pro or in deep knowledge to know which partitions contains such settings, i would appreciate your help for telling me which partition is the one i need to replace in order to enable only dual sim.
2- since i have access to all emmc files/partitions is there is a way to read my bootloader code?
thank you so much in advance, sorry for the long post and for my english
Yours..
Crix
I did some mixes of software till i made full build, running perfect for 4 months now.

HEY i flashed my g7 l01 using miracle box and now its dead help me with correct xml firmware android 5 please
