Screen problem

Hi everyone,
To flash the last rom (nightly ) of LineageOS ( in Oreo,from the 2 february), i had to put the firmware 5.1.7. After flash this firmware i was able to flash the ROM but it makes my phone extremely slow and with screen issues (i can still use the tactile but the screen doesnt follow).
I restored but the problem stills then i put le last stable ROM from Oneplus on android pie (9.0.3). It is a bit better (still really slow) and after a moment i get now like a white noise (same as on TV but with color moreover) by wink ( was more and more often on Google Maps), I had to reboot cause i couldnt use more my phone.
Thanks you in advance !
Ps : I've got TWRP from siankatabg and i'm not rooted , if you want me to send log tell me how pls.

Up :good:

When you were flashing did you used this instructions?

Flash codework's TWRP for Pie. After that reboot into recovery, wipe everything down and use clean flash instructions for your OTA. It should be able to fix any issue you were having. If not let me know.

Yes i followed the clean flash way (it didn't resolve my issue) but my issue occured before i flash pie, when i flashed lineageOS 15.1 with the firmware 5.1.7 required (which i flashed too). A restoration didnt change that issue.
I tried with the TWRP from codework but it doesnt recognise my internal stockage.
Thanks of your time.

Hi, try wiping everything down with the new TWRP, after that reboot into recovery once more. Install last normal working OOS to see if that helps you. If not maybe it is hardware issue? Let me know once you wiped and installed the last working OOS on it.
I have installed multiple roms and firmware updates on my device with codework's TWRP and never had big issue like this. In my opinion best option for you to trace your steps back to the last working version of your os and try learning what might have gone wrong.

My issues seem gone since few weeks with the last OTA (it very rarely happens now). I don't know what caused that even if i use my backup.
Thanks for your support !

Mi a1 touch issues

Hi,
I was on stock Pie firmware on mi a1. I tried to install twrp recovery in my device and somehow messed it up while flashing stock roms and all those things. Now my touch is not working properly. I can flash stock pie rom via fastboot method, but cannot go through setup process because my touch is a bizzare. I then tried to flash stock oreo and nougat firmwares and stuck in bootloop. I'm even tried booting into TWRP to see if anything would help, but the touch issue seems to affect twrp as well. Please help me out with this.
Thanks.

Do you fixed your problem? I don't know what happened but after I flashed the stock ROM the touch screen is useless. I already flashed everything in miflash and the screen is still broken... I don't know what to do, help pls

Hi!
I already fix a similar problem on my phone.
After a screen replacement, I had a touch-screen issue which was detecting the touches, but at a pseudo-random position.
The solution that worked for me was to flash the first stock nougat image released (September 2017 ), and then to upgrade to pie using the classical way through OTAs.
But you have to be very careful while doing this as you will encounter some kind of weird issues if you do this the wrong way, like lost IMEIs and some others that I don't remember.
You'll find some tutorial on how to downgrade from Pie to Oreo and then I don't remember well but I think you will be able to flash directly android one 7.1.2.
I hope this will solve your touchscreen issue (let me know if that worked for you or if you have any other problem occurring)

My touch screen is working but it is off after tying to flash a custom ROM

Hi, I hope you guys are doing good at these times.
I was trying to load a stable version of Lineage OS 16 on my MI A1. But, when I flashed TWRP 3.3 the touch screen was working but very weird. So I booted the phone out of TWRP and the issue persisted.
The issue is similar to what I found on these two threads:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/help/touch-t3769226
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/help/touch-screen-haywired-twrp-t3922617
I tried booting stock N android (using this file "tissot_images_7.8.23_20170823.0000.00_7.1_61cf97d794.tgz" with MiFlash Tool but the issue still persisted on the touch screen.
If you guys have any ideas please let me know.
Thanks, and have a nice day.

"Android setup isn't responding" and reboot by itself

Hi,
I have strange problem, used 9T come to me with wiped system (factory reset) but when MIUI loaded system i have notification "Android setup isn't responding". I can't accept it or anythink, configuration screen isn't loaded only black screen with status bar and navigation buttons. I can go to settings by the notifiaction bar, but after 10 seconds phone freezing and rebooting by itself.
I flash new system without errors, but it wont fix the problem

I had the same problem, I spent all the roms and the only one that worked was davinci_global_images_V10.3.5.0.PFJMIXM_20190528.0000.00_9.0_global_4222a49ff1
good that the phone is working again but now i'm facing other problems because i can't update the phone otherwise it goes back to loop and with this rom no sensor is working as a presence sensor, gyroscope and also problems with the front camera that is not it is working correctly.

same here, keep rebooting, u solved it?

Factory reset does not mean to Wipe System but Data.
Gyroscope and other sensors not working are the result of wiping Persist, Vendor and other partitions
Proper procedure to switch the ROM/install custom ROM requires:
- Format Data (option in TWRP, exactly as that "Format Data")
- Wipe Cache
- Do not Wipe any other partition !!!!!!!
- Flash your custom ROM
Unfortunately, there are noobs who don't know/understand, and they Wipe System, Vendor, Persist and who knows what other partitions they think off.
The result is the phone behaving as described
To recover, try flashing the TGZ stock ROM from Mi Flash (not just the ZIP ROM from TWRP).
Anyway, if Persist was wiped, you will never, ever recover DRM L1

What exact problem, with which ROM, what did you previously do with the phone?

Hello @zgfg
I'm having the same error as the OP with my Mi 8 (dipper).
I done goofed up, as I had the official 12.0.3.0 stock ROM installed, and then I wanted to go with the 12.5.2.0 EU ROM. I installed it no problem, but then in my infinite wisdom I tried to lock the bootloader via fastboot while having the EU ROM installed. Everything went to hell after that.
After that, I cannot make the phone work properly regardless of the ROM I try to install. With MIUI (both stock and EU), I cannot get the WiFi to work properly (Ino networks are shown), and the "Android Setup isn't responding" error does not let me finish the setup of the device. I also tried lineage, where I also cannot find any networks, so the setup pretty much stops there.
It is obvious I effed up something with lower-level files, I definitely just erased everything from TWRP at one point when I was panicing.
I tried flashing the stock ROM using Mi Flash as you said, but it did not work. Can you provide me a way of checking what is going wrong or a general way to fix this?

Sorry, I would never go to relock BL while having the custom ROM (I thought it would instantly brick the phone)
Not sure could I help but I'm also curious:
- You relocked the Bootloader by fastboot oem lock or by fastboot flashing lock?
- It locked BL, did Factory reset but kept Xiaomi.eu ROM?
- After that you unlocked BL again (otherwise how would you continue flashing the other ROMs)?
- Did you then unlock BL by Mi Unlock tool or by fastboot flashing unlock?
- Did you then you flash Fastboot/tgz version of the stock MIUI?
And with that the phone does not work properly (network, etc)?
- What version of MIUI you flash, MIUI 12.1 (Global, EEA)?
- Did you try with CN 12.5.2.0, Fastboot/TGZ version (closest Fastboot MIUI version to your previous Xiaomi.eu)?
Un-gzip, unutar, find inside bat scripts (I think 3 of them) choose one that makes Factory reset but does not relock BL.
Edit the script to remove first 3-4 lines that check against downgrading (not having the script in front of me to tell you exactly but you will see when you open the script), and run the bat from Fastboot

Thanks for the reply! Here we go:
1. By fastboot oem unlock.
2. I am not sure I remember. I think it could not boot at all.
3. Yes I unlocked it.
4. I have always used the Mi unlock tool to unlock the bootloader.
5. Yes I flashed it this way and it did not work. To be precise, I completely extracted the tgz, I opened Mi flash, selected the final extracted folder, and I flashed this way.
6. With Mi flash I have used the official rom, meaning 12.0.3.0 global (in case you did not read it, this is all for a Mi 8, I just found this thread and though to ask). When I install the EU rom, I use twrp.
7. No I haven’t tried Chinese roms, should I?
I have also tried directly running the bat scripts from the extracted folder as you said, but it didn’t work. Same thing.

1) Should have been "lock", not "unlock"
7) If I understood correctly, you had Xiaomi.eu 12.5.2.
Hence I think you should try the closest MIUI version (Fastboot, not Recovery - Fastboot flashes more deeply), and that could only be CN 12.5.2 (Global, EEA are 12.0.3 for your device)
The best would be Fastboot version of Xiaomi.eu 12.5.2 but AFAIK, there is no such thing
Hence after the CN 12.5.2 try then (Recovery) Xiaomi.eu 12.5.2

1) Yeah lol, mistyped.
7) Ok! I’ll give it a try. I have an early wake tomorrow tho and I have already spent too much time for this, so it’ll be a while before I come back with news.
Thank you!

Good morning!
So I installed the china ROM (12.5.2.0 QEACNXM) using mi flash, and I'm having similar issues. I did not get the "android setup stopped working", however WiFi is still not responding as before, and I got two "Security stopped working" and "Settings stopped working" errors.
Edit: WiFi cannot actually be turned on at all.

Btw, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, do they work?
And first, not least, do SIM cards work (voice and mobile data)?
And did you try switching now from CN 12.5 back to Xiaomi.eu 12.5 (they are based on CN, but made to work internationally)

I didn’t try these tbh, but I did go back to the 12.5 EU ROM.
This time I can get inside the phone normally, however Wi-Fi is still sketchy.
I managed to connect to a network, but manually, it still wont scan for network, and the connection is dropped after some minutes. I didn’t try gps, bt, or nfc, as I was trying to troubleshoot Wi-Fi, and this all came to a halt as the phone reboots on its own after 5-10 minutes of operation.
