Trying to delete Find Device on MIUI 12 results in bootloop? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

I've been trying all day to get MIUI 12 to work on my phone, I want to disable Find Device but I'm not able to without having to re-install the rom time and time again after my phone gets stuck on bootloop.
Does MIUI 12 not like me deleting Find Device or what can I do to resolve this?

Im using titanium backup (any other app with freeze option will do) for freezing find device and other miui apps i dont use. If your rom doesnt let you freeze find device or other system apps, you will need install xposed module named miui anesthetist. This method worked for me on miui12 roms such as xmorz, masik or miuimix.
If it also will give you bootloop, just use recovery to rename/backup/delete this file: /data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml and all apps will unfreeze.

[Q] help with titanium not installing

hey, so ive had many problems with titanium in the past and as of right now i dont have a current backup of all my apps because i acidentally uninstalled TB about a month ago and it hasent been able to re-installq so i dont have the luxory like i did in the past of being able to do a clean wipe to get it back working again, if it was that kind of issue.
But i was wondering if theres a way to installing it through fast boot or sideload it to try to bypass this error that pops up when i try to install it that i have insufficient storage.
p.s. not sure if this is right place for thread, and ive tried everything, only thing that will work is a clean install of android (im still on 4.3) or a more secure way of installing the apk/app (i try installing with play store but doesnt work.. also a current apk doesnt work [and that apk works])

[HELP] i think i've encountered a new bug.

hello, i have a new problem found few days ago and been trying to fix it but to no avail.
here is how it started.
i tried to install an app called fsecure vpn network from google play. then the phone when into a bootloop. then i did a clean wipe (reset, wipe cache and dalvik from recovery) but somehow my files were not gone. that is some kinda miracle i have no idea how it happened.
since then my phone have issue whenever i installed mihome:
-. google play services, trebuchet, package installer, and some other has stopped.
-. cannot open apps list in settings when mihome is present. the settings just stopped and crashed.
-. if i try to open the mihome, the phone goes reboot.
-. even uninstalling mihome from application list is not working, the package installer stopped. have to uninstall from google play.
-. i tried to make a bluetooth printer app, but when i put the app-debug.apk into my phone. file manager would crash whenever it tried to read the file. even by just scrolling down. example: file manager work fine if the file is not copied inside (meaning we can scroll around and not crash). but once the file is copied in then the file manager will work if we dont scroll down to find the file, but when we scrolled down to find the file then the app crash.
things i've tried:
-. clean wipe then reflashing rom and gapps.
-. manually update google play store, download google package installer and reinstall it.
-. tried to download google play services apk but was unable to install it.
-. tried the idea of clearing cache of google play service but still no luck (force stop was disabled anyway so i cant try that)
i have no idea how this all happen just because i tried to install that fsecure app. its not even fully installed yet. it was just starting to install after download then this hell happened.
im desperate for some help as i've tried for 3 days in fixing it but to no luck. any helps would be very appreciated.
thanks and regards,

Hello,
Did you try to reinstall Stock ROM ?
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-grand2/SM-G7102/
It happened to me that sometimes, apps or rom just run into a bug and maybe it corrupt the firmware but after a Stock ROM flash (via Odin) + custom recovery (via Odin) to wipe Cache + Data, everything was fix.
Hai, could u possible post me a tutorial on how to do those thing via odin? Coz i usually only do it via cwm. Thanks

Did you try to flash a recovery only ?
Maybe your firmware/system is not corrupted and then you could just reflash a clean rom ?
In Odin, Select AP and load your recovery.tar
I am having the very same issue. The difference is that it's happening with Spotify, Xposed and Relay for Reddit. So yeah it's been much worse for me. I will try to flash stock rom + reinstall another recovery and see if it fixes. By the way, I got a couple of questions:
1 - Does the country that I select when downloading the stock ROM matters?
2 - Which Recovery can you guys recommend? There's a bunch here but not sure if all them are worthy
Okay so I flashed an Indian stock ROM (I'm not indian nor live in the country), then I wiped all data, so I could boot. This is the default procedure to revert back to a Stock ROM.
After that, I noticed the Wifi wasn't working, probably due to the Stock rom I've downloaded. Anyway, I installed a custom Recovery (even an updated version of what I used before, then I reinstalled Ressurection Remix, and tried again.
....It didn't work. Relay for Reddit crashes everything, Spotify puts my phone into a bootloot. Same with Xposed. I have no idea what to do anymore. Someone, please help. I really can't afford to buy another phone right now and I really need those apps. Expecially Spotify.

Okay, so I guess there won't be any need for that. I've redownloaded the stock ROM, but this time, I checked my phone Serial Number so I could download the right stock ROM for my phone. Now everything seems to be working again. Spotify and Relay installed without any issue. I will now try to reflash recovery and then another ROM and see if the problem persists.
For those who don't know how to check your Serial number, it's right above your android version, at the "About phone" section on Settings.
I still need advice on which Recovery I should use.
Anyway, thank you guys. I probably would't be able to solve this without your help.
UPDATE: I've installed TWRP 3.1.0.0, and also rooted the phone using it. Still on stock ROM. Everything seems to be still working without problems. I think I'll stick with it for now. Maybe later I'll try to lash a Custom ROM and see if it still works.

Hi,
I'm glad you fixed you're problem. Sticking on Stock ROM is the best thing you can do if you need your phone as every functionnality is checked and working.
I personnaly use TWRP as recovery, its good you got usb, root and everything you need to backup/restore your phone + reset your phone.

HELP, bootloop after installing whatsapp CM lolipop and recuression remix

Hi amm my G7102 enters bootloop immediately after installing whatsapp application has been tested on lolipop CM and Recuression remix, knowing that it was working fine before that. also note I flashed many times and used stock firmware.
how to fix that issue?
same problem for me... hav u found any fix???
Yup..I was to using cm and RR...But Whatsapp issue didn't came ..But installing other apps such as magisk manager...The problems come.. there is not fix to solve the problem..But if you want to use RR only then use RR Xperia mod ROM..In tht ROM apps installed properly... Or change the rom
I also had this issue, running LineageOS 13 6.0.1 on a Redmi Note 4 SD, and the latest WhatsApp update just crashed all the background apps and after a reboot it just stuck in a bootloop. Luckily I had a somewhat recent TWRP backup, so I recovered it and just removed Whatsapp. I wonder what happened there... I DO had the beta version installed, but I've been using Whatsapp beta without problems for years. :S
Same issue w/ cm12...only after installing the wapp.
Tried recerting by manually downloading to march ver. Still the same.. The moment wapp is installed, phone goes into bootloop. No other option to factory reset..
Any possible clues.. Had someone tried a more old version 2017??
i have same problem using CM12.1. Try this :
if your phone bootloop : uninstall whatsapp from safe mode ( press vol - ) while boot.
uninstall whatsapp from play store.
download whats app apk from apkmirror.com ( i'm using whatsapp 2.18.117 (beta).
and it's work fine now.
Now using CM12.1
I ran into the same problem when I installed greenify on CM12.1. Dunno if there's a fix or not but I figured out how to get out of the bootloop. My theory was, If any app installation caused bootloops, it means the app installation was somehow interrupted and this app is now in a broken state. You just have to boot into TWRP, use TWRP's file manager or aroma file manager to delete all app related files from data/apps or other app related folders. I deleted all Greenify related files and my phone got out of bootloop and booted normally.
Thank you sir, you helped me greatly!
CM 110.0 boot looks
Updates of several apps including Whatsapp are causing my phone to go into boot loop. I had to do a factory reset and sideload of older versions of the apps (where available).
I am running Cyogenmod 11.0 Android 4.4.4 on a Oneplus One.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem? I have been using an older version of Whatsapp but support for that version is going to be cut off by Whatsapp in a few days.
Thanks for any help.

System lags and crashes, makes impossible the use

Hi. I have a Xiaomi MiA1, Lineage 16.0 (I try to update it two or three times per week). It is rooted. I use openGapps.
I have a problem since yesterday: suddenly, my phone got a lot of lag that makes impossible the use. KLWP got closed (it stopped being the default background), Nova Launcher was lagging and restarting several times. Openning any app was impossible, including the settings and system, it freezes and closes, returning to the launcher home screen... I tried to stop, clean data and delete klwp, nova, but i got the same result. The minutes passed and it got worse. Finally, the phone freezed, the clock wasn't working, so the only solution was doing a manual soft reset.
So, yesterday I did a dirty flash, because I didn't have a recent backup. I used SDMaid database feature in the morning so I tought maybe it was bad executed and was the origin of the issue. I tried to rescue some information (to backup some app data) with oandbackups. I cleaned caché and did a Factory reset. It seem to work. and do a clean installation. at first, it seem like it worked. I installed the apps I had by my Google account, and went to sleep. Today, it was ready, I turned it off and charged it, and in the morning: again the crash. So I did a clean installation. Again, it seemed to work. It installed all my apps and... crash again. I fear it could be some launcher issue? any prob with lineage? Any app? How can I know whats happening?
Sorry for my bad english. Any help would be apreciated.

Keeping in mind the kind of apps you mentioned, I'd go with an app+data backup of those apps you installed and uninstall them completely, check if problem is still there.
I suspect you're facing a compatibility or configuration issue, since both apps are related to home screen.
If problem is solved, first read if those apps are actually compatible with ROM and OS version, then you could try to install just one app, without data, and check if things go well (give it a day), same with the rest until you can confirm OS is working well with apps just installed, no changes made in them yet... In other words, were trying to confirm that problem comes from apps and/or their configurations, so you could somehow report those issues to apps developers. You can use Catalog or other apps to record System logs until app crashes.
On the other hand, if problem is still there, even before you started to reinstall apps, then Dirty flashing isn't a good choice in that case, since it preserves System configurations, no mention your device is rooted, were user changes are present... you are opened to different problems, worse if you use an old Magisk version, or installed modules there, or apps that force your OS to do things it doesn't do in it's original state.
So, as you were so dare to go with a dirty flash, you could better go with a clean flash instead.
Erase any system lock protection (fingerprint, pattern, etc), do a ROM Backup from TWRP, flash latest firmware and make a clean install of the latest version of the ROM of your choice, keeping in mind their own flashing procedure.
As with above reply, if a completely clean install doesnt work, consider going back to a previous lineage release. If it still doesnt work, consider a full EDL stock rom reflash using MiFlash -- then flash your custom rom.

I made a clean flash in the morning, with the same results, so there's when I thought it could be an app the main problem. It worked with Nova a few hours.
I just followed your instructions, I installed the last firmware (the jan one) and the last rom of lineage. I didn't installed the apps in my google backup so I can install them and check how is the behaviour. I will install CatLog so I can check the logs too! I really hope installing the firmware was enough. Thank you very much!

I was planning to reflash the custom ROM but I couln't find the latest one that's compatible with MiFlash. I really hope the clean install is enought... thank you

In any case, if you went with a clean flash, try to leave your system free of user installed apps for a few and check how it goes.

Gapp crashes on 6.0 ROMS (Working Solution)

Okay so, ive tried every 6.0 ROM on the Shield forum for my portable and they all seem to have app crashing issues with the 6.0.1 pico Gapps (Setup, Play services, framework, play store all crashing, boot loops etc.)
I noticed i dont get these crashing errors whenever i boot the ROMs with no Gapps.
I spent hours and days researching why the crashing happens and ive seen things from "outdated/corrupted SU binary" to "incorrect permissions for 6.0.1 gapps" and i still dont know the cause.
SO i figured id try the apk route. i went to a certain APK site (not sure if we can link those) and grabbed every version for each gapp to see if i could get any of them installed. I found out when theres a corrupted app or incompatible app, android OS doesnt show the image for said APK/APP so i was able to weed out which apps would work.
Linked here are the apks i used to get the MM roms working with google/google apps again.
Install the PICO 6.0 GAPPS and then these APKs after getting into the OS to get going
The Pico-Apps are gonna make the initial boot time longer-- dont worry just let it load everything up (sometimes i had to button mash the shield button & home buttons to get past the boot animation-- sometimes it works and idky)
after installing all of the APKs, reboot the system, the OS is gonna initialize your apps again, might do it twice. after that youre good to go.
