request to have the bootloader unlocked then.
I assume we'll have to manually install google apps. I'm updating it via the updater app and seeing if that'll work even tho I've got twrp .

Is it better flashing with Recovery or Fastboot?
Why the Full ROM size is 1,5 GB and the Fastboot is 1,7 GB?

I was able to use the updater app to install the recovery rom no problem. very smooth.
But now my work application doesn't work because something to do w/ work profile not supported maybe.

Hi.If you flash fastboot rom do u loose the TWRP recovery

Yes I lost twrp.

But the bootloader remains unlocked.Are u able to flash twrp and root again?

Can someone tell me if I'll be able to get OTA updates if I install this global rom? Thanks

I think you should be able to. When I used the MIUI Updater app, it rebooted into TWRP to auto-install the Global firmware with no issues on the touchscreen. But it's possible to think that twrp may need to be updated to be used w/ Global like it did in RC1 or RC2.

It would make sense to do it this way. Once you have global, any new global updates would be updated via the MIUI Updater OTA.

Thanks.And how do I find the rom.No FC or random reboot issues.Google app fc's

Flashed using MI flash tool and relocked boot loader so I could have android pay. Did a factory reset after flash and have had no problems so far. Stable clean rom. Had issues with flash tool that resolved when I out all the files in a folder at the root (I put them in c:\rom). Flash tool didn't like a long nested folder name (sip aid the name was too long)

So does Android Pay works?

Yes once you lock the boot loader. Safety net helper comes up green and I can add my card. You do have to update play services after ROM install as it's been updates since the rom was built. After your first reboot after installing new rom you will get a notification to update play services

Guys try open Google map and click on timeline. Mine says cannot clnnect

Mine works fine. I had other issues w/ google but I ended up resetting the phone to factory and everything runs as expected without major issues.
The Global Rom still has the
1. wallpaper carousel issue if using 3rd party launcher
2. cannot search for bluetooth devices for the Xiaomi auto unlock feature, the google option can add the devices, but it doesn't unlock the screen
3. google map feature does not work w/ a dual app that I use.

Can someone install football manager mobile 2017 and test? I have force crash. And ps I purchased on play store

Hey All, just got a MIX so I'm a newbie and apologies if my question has been covered extensively in a past thread.
The rom that came with my mix was xiaomi.eu. I used the Recovery Method to flash the Official Global Rom. However, when I did I didn't loose any data AT ALL.........it took a while for the recovery flash to go through (like 5-10 minutes), but then my phone just rebooted and all my apps, wallpaper, etc were there.
I checked, and the current MIUI Version is MIUI Global 8.2 Stable 8.2.1.0 (MAHMIDL).
Also, I tried to use Android Pay, got the error message, downloaded and ran the CTS app, and still failed. Does this mean I should get my bootloader unlocked (already submitted request) and fast flash and relock the bootloader??

ZTE Blade A2 Plus Rooting( SuperSU or Magisk),Recovery & Flashing Stock Rom

Hi there, good to see you.
After struggling to find any helpful information about rooting ZTE Blade A2 plus, I finally was able to root>soft brick>hard brick>stock flash>repeat this beautiful device. So thought to share it here so that it becomes helpful for someone in need.
Device Information: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...te-blade-a2-plus-5-5-fhd-mt6750t-3gb-t3480759
Prerequisite: Winrar Latest version, VCOM and device drivers (MT67xx), General intelligence to download the attachments and to arrange everything in order and you're good to go
Step 1: Install custom recovery (We'll install TWRP)
a} Download recovery and preloader
b} Download Scatter file
c} Download SP Flash tools
d} Only tick recovery and preloader and select the downloaded files and flash it
e} When the process finishes and SP flash tools displays done, remove the phone and press "Vol Up+Power" to boot into recovery. It may ask you to make /system writable if you want swipe as indicated
f} Done enjoy
Note: Take this opportuniy to first of all backup your stock rom using TWRP and save it elsewhere.
Step 2: Rooting (With Magisk Or Super SU)
a} Download Magisk or Super SU flashable zip as per your need
Note: Magisk gives most of the Super SU features and doesn't trips google security net so you are able to use banking apps while rooted with magisk
b} Place downloaded zip in your sd card
c} Boot into TWRP recovery and flash the said zip
d} Done enjoy
Step 3: Flashing stock rom (Only russian version as of now)-Language is english bloatwares are Russian
a} Download Stock Rom from https://yadi.sk/d/RZLBrKKv3LxejN
Note: It contains PC Flashable stock rom along with scatter files and NVRAM backups so it'll help if you lose IMEI during the process, it is advisable to keep this offline as backup in case links stops working.
b} Flash the downloaded stock rom with SP flash tools
Note: This stock rom doesn't support VOLTE so i advice you to first take a full backup of your initial rom after installing TWRP, also please share that backup here as well so as i could add it to this thread to make it helpful for someone who has already lost VOLTE inclusing me
Conclusion: I'll be very happy if this information proves useful to you in any manner and also request you to must share your backup for me to get VOLTE back.
Thank You

Is this an update to the Stock Rom?

hi, can u help me please, iam tryin to update with twrp , i did remove first line from script but i have error.

Found a way to unlock bands on MTK based phones by flashing basebands from phones with the same chipset. Doing this by using SPFLASH and flashing md1 files. Still unable to connect to cell network on my Doogee bl12000. Flashed this phones MD1, was wondering if anybody could provide me with the nvdata and nvram from the ZTE blase a2 plus. Hoping by flashing those files can connect to a U.S. network.

That error for other ROM is because you are flashing "oreo" ROMs and you don't have compatible TWRP. You will need latest 3.2.1 TWRP to install those oreo roms.
For installing boot.img, you can do it with TWRP,
Are you able to boot into twrp ?
First load boot.img in your sd card or internal memory.
Boot into TWRP > install > (install image button at bottom) > select boot.img > flash as boot.
For rooting, don't flash SuperSU / magisk directly.
Flashe elementalX kernel first, then SuperSU/magisk.

thank you so much It works

MI A1 worked 3 days

Hi all,
Last week i received my new MI A1. IT worked perfectly during 3 days, with 2 OTA updates to Android 8. (December and January OTA i remember)
Then, one night my MI A1 just shutdown itself without doing anything (i was sleeping)
And in the morning i tryed to reboot it but i had everytime a freeze and reboot when it asked to enter my PIN CODE. (i tryed without my SIM it was the same, big freeze and reboot)
Si i went to the MI website (xiaomifirmware.com/roms/download-official-roms-xiaomi-mi-a1/) to download the XiaoMiFlash Tools and the ROM (Android 8.0.0 Oreo (OPR1.170623.026.8.1.10) | Fastboot)
It worked to flash the MI A1 but i cannot start the phone, i had the Screen ENCRYPTION UNSUCCESFULL
When i clicked to Resert the phone, it reboot and came to the same screen. (I can host a video if ou want to see)
I've tryed to use FASTBOOT Unlock / TWRP 3.1 to wipe the system but still the same.
Do you have any idea please ?
Thank you in advance for your help
Mathieu

Hi,
I've tested with Nougat (tissot_images_7.8.23_20170823.0000.00_7.1_61cf97d794) as flash and lock.
and that doesn't work. Still in like a bootloop.
i've tried also to go through twrp 3.2.1 but a a little bit lost.
Which FULL ROM do i need to take as ZIP file in TWRP ?
Also, do i need a SD CARD to completly reinstall Android ?
thanks in advance.

Can you repeat your question about twrp?
You can try to flash lineage os 15.1 with latest twrp-oreo and see if that works.

Nope. Lineage ROM can be stored in internal storage and flashed. Also, if you aren't able to solve the encryption issue, I suggest you to go to your nearest service center and get help. They do it for free, even if you're rooted or modified the system.

Thanks for the answer.
I cannot go to service center because i'm in France.
I've tryed to flash Lineage15.1 but doesnt work.
May be an idea, i've seen in TWRP that i don't have a cache partition. Is that normal ? If not, how do i create it ?

Flash your device from edl mode
If doesnt work it seems that your emmc is faulty
Many huawei phones with faulty emmc shows such this encryption failed message and by changing emmc become functional

Le S3 Update Help Needed

I recently bought a LeEco Le S3 X522 Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 chip set from aliexpress.com Phone already came WITH EUI 5.8.021S Build IFXNAOP5802141S installed With google apps. No OTA update, and
SIM Slot 1 supports full range of services, including voice call, data services and VoLTE/Wi-Fi calls. While SIM Slot 2 supports GSM voice calls and SMS only.
The only difference between Le 2 and S3 is the version of Quick charge and the ROM, every other thing remains the same.
I know to solve the problem of only one slot using voice call, data services and VoLTE/Wi-Fi calls is simply changing the ROM, which I did and it worked. But I don't like the fact that on the back of the phone, the model is written as Le X522 and the in about phone it is X520, so I decided to update the phone.
So I downloaded a stock ROM from https://devsjournal.com/download-letv-official-stock-rom.html#Le_S3_X522_8211_US_Le_2_Pro_Stock_ROM to download EUI 5.9.028
1523502484_FULL_S2_PLUS_S2_PLUS-CN-FN-HEXCNFN5902812161S.zip tried to install it and i got error message saying "Updater process ended with ERROR: 7 Error installing zip file 1523502484_FULL_S2_PLUS_S2_PLUS-CN-FN-HEXCNFN5902812161S".
Okay, I deleted the 2 lines from updated-script saved it and tried it again and still got the same error.
I downloaded another file. 1523442203_S2_X520-CN-FN-IEXCNFN5902802011S-5.9.028S.zip with the same error 7 but after editing the script it installed but got stock after patching system image i will upload screenshots so I really don't know what to do and where to get a working ROM EUI 5.9.026 or EUI 5.9.028
Thanks in Advance

I think you flashed the wrong rom.That rom is for "le_x6" MTK devices (X620/X626).
Download X522 rom and reflash.
Version 28s has problem with google services, better to flash older versions.
Search for it in the forums here or on needrom.

I have that in mind also, but the first ROM I installed is Le S3 (X522 – US Le 2) Pro Stock ROM and the second Le 2 (Qualcomm) Stock ROM hung at the end so had yo force reboot phone. The screenshot is there

Is the bootloader unlocked?If bootloader is already unlocked , and Twrp installed, it won't boot stock rom.You need to root with Magisk.
Download Magisk zip and install from Twrp.
Don't do this if bootloader is locked, you'll brick the phone.

Thanks, the bootloader is unlocked, if the bootloader is locked I don't think I would be able to install TWRP. I noticed any ROM with S2 will work and ROM with X6 don't work is it that S2 is for snapdragon and X6 is for MTK?
Again I got another phone (same phone) installed TWRP and Backed up the ROM and tried to restore it into the other phone and it didn't load the backup (it didn't see the file just the folder) what do I really need to do to get the restore working or get the latest snapdragon rom for S3?

Yes , X6 is Mtk chipset.
Maybe try wipe cache/data/dalvik, then root with Magisk zip.
If that doesn't work, download and flash X522 Eui 5.8 just to get the phone to boot up.
Just saw this:
