GPS Not working - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers

Summary.
i had the phone working fine with root and twrp.
after they release the MIUI beta 11, i installed the Xiaomi Eu, but it didn't boot. so i clean install to china rom. i went back to miui 10 Via Fastboot Mi flash tool used the "Gobal V10.3.11.0.PFJMIXM" from mifirm. and did a clean install with it, it booted but the GPS isn't working not even the offline mode of google maps, tried fix gps apps from playstore nothing fixed it.. i really need the gps.
I don't use data.

It happened to me before using the same Gobal V10.3.11.0.PFJMIXM... Somehow i manage to make it work again... What i did was toggle force full gnss measurement in developer options... And install magisk module "global optimized gps file replacer" after that it work smoothly on my device... Hope it helps

Seeking help regarding GPS fix [Samsung Galaxy E500H]

Hi All,
Indeed I've been struggling to fix my GPS which is one of the thing I can't travel without and I am too much dependent on it. I tried several below methods to make it work in anyways possible but its failing every time and I have almost given up. I have no idea what could be the problem which is not letting GPS triangulate my current position. Basically the problem is while I start the GPS (Maps) the phone is able to detect the location but while I start driving, it stucks saying (Searching for GPS) all the time! I really need some help here.
Tried all these following methods to fix this issue:
* Rooted phone with CF Auto Root believing that it might solve. And no luck here.
* Flashed E500H with custom firmware through Odin [And it didn't work]
* Installed GPS Status & Toolbox to re-calibrate the compass [That also didn't work. I tried with a cracked version too and still no luck]
Is there anything that I am missing out here? Please help if anything can be done here.
Thanks a lot in advance!!

I had same problem in CM 13 Galaxy E5 Cutom Rom. I was not able to fix it.
But it works in my stock ROM
I finally got a solution
This post worked for me https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/fix-google-maps-crazy-mm-cm-13-oem-fix-t3384447.
Hope this helps
If you run Stock Rom. Then the GPS is already OK.
If you install CM12. Then also GPS works.
If you install CM13 which is the best ROM till date as far as I have seen, then GPS doesn't work well. For that Install an application from Fake GPS location. And go to Developer Options and Allow Mock Locations. Then Run the app and locate your position manually and enable the faking. So now you can run the apps which needs location. But problem is it doesn't change as you move. You have to change it manually. So your problem persists. But I think some of your problems will get solved by this.
If you install Lineage 14 which is developed recently, GPS works fine. Indeed I am running Lineage 14 though its not as fast and smooth as CM13, but I love it.
So , best solution for you is install Lineage 14 .

[SM-G531F] Bluetooth conflict with MI Band 2

Hello,
My SM-G531F is able to pair with my MI Band 2, and the MI app works fine... for a while. After about 10 minutes, the Bluetooth connection of the phone just disappears. I tried to reenableit from the Bluetooth icon or from the Bluetooth config section, but it doesn't work (it shows "enabling connection" forever). I have to reboot the phone every time to enable Bluetooth again.
I uninstalled the MI app, and Bluetooth is stable again. But I've tried the same version of the MI app in a Cubot Dinosaur and in a Nubia N1, and works properly.
I rooted my SM-G531F via KingRoot + SuperSU using a guide from xda developers (can't find the link now) without problems, but I probably did something wrong. It's my first root...

Please answer this.

Phone Info - Mi A1
Rom - Resurrection Remix v6.XX OS-8.1.0 November Patch
Magisk v18 stable (used successfully 2 days after updating Magisk from v16 stable with no problem anywhere).
Modules - v4a, aml, dolby, selinux changer, busybox, MiA1 stock cam.
While updating "AML", screen got freezed for more than 5 min so i had to shutdown forcefully. But after restart i lost all installed apps and everything., from everything i mean both internal and external got formated. But that's not only the case. My device Mi A1 keep restarting automatically after few min of starting (it's not bootloop as device restarts to homescreen but freezes and restarts after few sec.). Sorry that i can't provide logcat as everything already formated.
i tried to reflashing using few unofficial and official MI tool (tried both oreo stock and pie latest) but still my device goes to setup screen and after few seconds it restarts automatically.
Isn't there any work around 'coz neither magisk support forum helped nor AML forum.
My only question is whether is this software issue or hardware? Can updating simple module result in hardware failure?
Please reply.

"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.

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.

Sorry, no other idea but that you try now again Xiaomi.eu 12.5, with Factory reset

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.

I need help with xiaomi note 7 random reboot and apps stopping - Custom Roms

I have a problem with my xiaomi note 7, I decided to install a custom rom because it worked very badly with the latest version of miui. I tried installing HavocOs but on the third day of use the applications started to stop and the phone restarted randomly. Then I installed pixel experience, exactly the same thing happened.
So I decided to try installing the official miui 11 again with the miflash tool, more of the same, added to the fact that it drained the battery a lot. And finally I decided to reinstall the newest version of pixel experience trying to add xiaomi firmware and pixel recovery. And so it has resulted in the same.
I know that something is damaged, but I don't know what to do and I can't know it immediately because errors always take 2-3 days to appear.
