I just want to be prepared if and when mine bootloops there gotta be a way to adapt it. if it dont already work for ls991 and other varients
Simple, you don't fix something that's not broken. Use your phone until it bootloops then RMA it.

your answer seems kinda rude. I dont know if thats how u meant it. But i have no waranty. Ive dismantled my phone and cpu pasted for one. Im rooted. And my screen has a crack. No rma for me. Plus i make backups but still i cant afford another phone. Id like to have a method to make sure im down for as little as possible. Seems like other people have a perma fix by core disable. Id like to too.
And please dont lecture me on thats what i get for dismantling my phone.
Thats what i do. Hell ill put a mother board in it Myself. But i still would like to see this happen. Again being better prepared than your solution.
I would also like to know how to disable the cores if such thing happens ....there is another way to save ur phone mad scientist if the phone ever bootloops go to recovery factory reset from there...some people have reported this is temporary fix for bootloop ... U can also avoid the bootloop by nt using heavy games or app not rooting running in stock n most important no over charging the phone use only stock geniune charger..hell even in my G4 i dont even have a facebook or viber app ...use
Ur G4 as a second phone

I know the issue is a heat thing. I do some vr and ps1 emulators but only for 20 min maybe 30 max. Like i said i also have thermal paste on most of my chips inside wich works well in keeping my phone about 5 to 7 degrees cooler than most.
I nust know other varients have claimed once they get back up and running that they have to enable the 3 other small cores and thats it basicly fixxing there phones permantly just slower.
Thats what my goal is here too.
I dont know my serial number but i have a 1.1 hw revision number and i was manifactured in oct 23 2015. I havnt heard of many of these bl but better safe than sorry.
i paid to much to have a paper weight
Can i unpack my tot and wHt do i have to modify to make this for my g4

Suposedly sept 15 and before were the time bombs. But there unsubstantiatied claims of many models after doing it.
I just hate change im used to this phone and hate trying to get used to somethin new. Just dooms day preppin for ic and when the bomb does go off. I found one new mb for 991. 120 bucks the rest of them are close to 200 and im not paying it if i dont have to.
Any one know whT was modified in the core disable tots that maybe can be incorporated to others.
U can always buy cheap used cell phones like huwai honor 5x，moto G 2nd generation or asus idol ...they arent that high end performance but still gets the job done at end of the day...hey did u bought the G4 used or new ..

I already stated that i have no warranty. Either way like another post says lg should be held accountable for this device.
The whole g4 project is one big lemon.
Theyre not fixxing half the devices that are bootlooping finding ways out.
Sorry to answer your ? New but mines a oct 2015. And a hardware rev 1.1 suposedly im safe

Am on the same roas as you... i see the KDZ to disable big core US cell phones are not there...so in order for us to use this file.. i read that we need to mod with hex editor .. like just the name of the variant... like h815 rename to what ever your variant is.. as if you dont do this LGUP will give you error.. to make it flash and make it think its a HXXX frimaware for your phone...
i heard from LG agent that phones have 15 months warranty from LG.

I wanna check and see. I dont want to change the name just yet. Kinda lime taking a tmobile tot and changin the name to a sprint one and trying to flash it to mine.

I'd like a solution along these lines as well. Ideally, the big cores would be disabled during boot, but manually running a script at any point would re-enable them.
@ezzony seems to be working on something similar, maybe he can help?

No. Your prolly thinking how far can one can ramp up the frequency where the device stays stable, right? I will reveal how that can be done later, but currently it can't be done with kernel auditor or script. Firstly I would like to see if my solution works on someone else's' device other than my own so when I get some feedback I'll discuss upping the frequency over on the other bootloop thread. In the meantime have a go with my solution yourself and see how you get on with it.

Really? You've replaced the processor in a smartphone? That's been an idea of mine for bypassing the lockdown on locked down smartphones for a few years (seems like you can order all sorts of "large-volume OEM-only" chips on Alibaba), but the posts on this forum about that kind of hardware modification are scarce, knowledge of low level details is always missing in some (or people just don't bother to answer my questions regarding that), and there is conflicting information in a few cases.
Dear all,
I am from India and today i got my Mi max. When ever i try to connect to any wifi, it says "saved" and after some minutes it says" wifi connection failure ". Just checked online and many users are also reporting the same issue. Does any one know how to resolve this issue? Already restarted my mobile as well as did factory reset. Couldn't resolve as of now. Please help.
Thanks in advance

Sounds like a bad batch according to what I've read on en.miui.com. I got my Mi Max from China and I don't have any WiFi problems.

Yep, definitely something Xiaomi screwed up and I suspect it has to do with nv_data low level configuration.
If it's not that then I am curious if problem exists in CM13.
Nothing you can do but wait for Xiaomi to fix it via update or recall all faulty devices...
Thanks for both of your replies. I hope it is a software issue and will be solved in the upcoming updates.

If it is what I think it is we might get to take a look at the Indian nv_data configuration and by comparing it with Chinese one we might have some interesting outcome.

It's a hardware issue, read the comments here
http://www.gogi.in/mi-max-wifi-issue.html
Nothing in that article points to a hardware issue as a defective chip or something. If it is then why Chinese version is not affected? Both versions hardware wise are same. Just different low level configuration which is fixable dy special software update as far as I know.
I might be wrong though... We'll see.
I received my Mi Max from flipkart yesterday and I too have the same problem. WiFi doesn't connect with any networks. Can someone please help me to resolve this issue.
Even I'm facing same issue. I updated to custom miui8 but no use. Problem persists. So is this issue hardware related then? Pls answer me. I have few more days before I can return the phone.

When the whole hell lot is having the problem, then why MI wants us to visit the service center, instead trying to solve the problem MI Team is bring more frustration to customers. Can somebody let me know how to sue MI in India court of law for bringing faulty products to India market without doing the basic testing.

It needs special update which will flash the partition holding the low level configuration (efs, fsg whatever). Regular ROM update even Chinese doesn't touch those partitions.
I am not sure though if it can be done OTA because that partition also holds IMEI, ESN other things that has be kept. So they might release a tool which will overwrite only faulty values.
I am only speculating based on what I know and the info we have so far, nothing more...
same issue wifi not connected please solve this problem update new version for wifi conectivity

MIUI 8 stable, which according to customer care is dropping on 16th Aug, will fix the issues. But we know MIUI 8 will only be out on 23rd or later.
I wonder if CM13 will fix it though.

I am curious too but I highly doubt it. It's not a simple ROM issue it's more deep lower software level thing. Phones runs Android as main OS, but also runs Qualcomm AMSS as baseband OS which we don't see and which takes care of all cpu, wireless, security etc operations at chip level. Something is wrong on that level.
I bought a new Lenovo Z2 plus (4GB 64 GB) version. It is running on build 2.0.093 Android 6.0.1 Aug 2016 Security patch out of box and I know there are two major updates after this but my device is not detecting any OTA updates. System updater software shows - "No Updates available. Refresh" (Tried many times since yesterday). And on that screen itself on clicking "Release Details", the following error is shown: "Failed to access release information server, please refresh again"
My friend also bought the same phone and immediately got the updates.
Is this an issue with my handset or do I need to wait further to get the updates?
Are the Lenovo servers for OTA updates down?
Why are release details not accessible?
Trying for 3rd day today. No updates. Bit concerned.
I will eventually install custom rom and do some experiments but want to use with stock rom for some days to check if any hardware issues are there or not.
Shall I return the phone or keep?

Hey, I suggest you call wherever you ordered your Z2 plus from. My friend had this issue as well and he called up Amazon customer care only find out that his device was defective.

How does not getting OTA updates makes the device defective?
I got it in a special deal and not willing to return. Already replaced once as the previous one was reboxed unit and without proper bill. This one seems new. What defect did your friend's phone had?

Let me answer this question... This device is a new purchase. It has got Android 6 out of box and has volte issues with JIO sim...and the update which is failing to install contains a fix for that (here we are still not talking about android 7 upgrade).
Another Major issue is when we check warranty status, it says warranty expired.
So let us say if u have a software issue on your phone that is irritating and you take it to a service center, the first thing they do is ask you to update (if not done already) to latest version...thats what we are asking. Today just got an email from Amazon since the inspection guy didn't turn up , they are replacing my phone now.

None of these show device is defective. For warranty how will lenovo know when you bought the device. Send a mail to [email protected] with invoice and back side image of box and they will update warranty details in 3 days.
Getting the update immediately means most likely this device is not new and you got a reboxed unit. Check on Lenovo forums, many have confirmed that it takes a few days to get the updates after booting the device for first time

Usually, Last time i purchased Redmi 4A and Sony Xperia X, warranty was automatically updated...maybe done by Flipkart from where i purchased. Lot a hasseles with Lenovo.

Okay, I forgot to tell you this part. I went along with him to the service store and people there wanted to heat up the battery and sh*t. I don't know how that could've helped but we agreed to let them do so, but the updates still failed. Later they checked the warranty and it wasn't updated on the official Lenovo site. So yeah, the technician turned up after we called Amazon and he specifically said "The device is defective". We didn't bother asking because we were getting a replacement.
Good that you're getting a replacement. Enjoy. And do check the warranty of the replacement. Cheers!

Well, he wasn't able to update his phone. Updates were available but after the download it said something like "Package installation failure". Tried VPN as suggested in various forums but that didn't help either. The technician said the device was defective, and as I mentioned in my previous reply, we didn't bother asking.
how much heating are you guys observing on normal usage. I have noticed downloads using wifi heats up the device quite a lot.

Nope. It won't install any China ****. If YOUR IP is Indian registered then you will get the Indian version of it.
Give it a shot (sott).I had this issue too and had it solved by this method.

Well, he wasn't able to update his phone. Updates were available but after the download it said something like "Package installation failure". Tried VPN as suggested in various forums but that didn't help either. The technician said the device was defective, and as I mentioned in my previous reply, we didn't bother asking.

Need one help/info.
I read on Quora that dialing following code helps to check bootloader status and whether unlockable or not:
*#*#7378423#*#*
But when I dial this, nothing happens. Since I am not getting it's updated yet and want to wait for some time before unlocking bootloader and there is a limited window for return, just worried if some issue with bootloader on my device. Can you check on your device and let me know plz

I tried it yesterday but there are no Shanghai or China server in flyvpn now. Tried with Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong etc but same result - no update detected
Also, when you say "if your IP is India registered" what do you mean? Registered where? Using Shanghai server with VPN will use China ip only right?

Hello xda,
Yesterday i woke up and unplugged my 5T from charger, but phone wasn't working. Then i tried to power on but it stuck on Oneplus logo.(not boot animation, just oneplus splash screen and "powered by android")
Then i tried to enter to recovery for hard reset but no luck, i couldn't access to recovery mode and also when i try, stuck on bootlogo again. But interesting thing about it is, after a while the logo dissappears and screen goes black but phone don't powering off, just black screen with no notification led. I can access the fastboot mode but my bootloader is locked.
I tried:
Flashing official rom with Msm download tool.
I didn't get any errors, it flashed successfully but the phone still not working. When i try to power on, it shows oneplus logo again but after about 5 minutes screen goes black and notification light shines white. And in this position, my pc recognizes the phone as "Qualcomm HS USB Diagnostics 900E".
My bootloader is locked cause i'm not able to erase any partition by fastboot commands or can't flash TWRP.
I need your help. I'm not able to use my phone for 2 days.
Wrong thread. Sry.
Sad to know your phone isn't working, run the msm tool again and make sure its for the oneplus 5t and not for oneplus 5,

Thanks for your reply but i used the 5T unbrick tool(dumpling). But no way. Then i tried the Oneplus 5(not T) unbrick tool. Screen became reversed and weird because of resolution difference. I thought maybe i can access the recovery menu with 5's firmware but didn't worked. I followed all of the guides on the xda but didn't worked for me. I'm scaring if it's a hardware problem.

If they handle this nicely, you shouldn't be disappointed so much. I mean there quite a lot of people getting good experience with this phone. You are just unlucky. Such thing happens if you jump into other phone's forum too.

I hope its not a hardware problem.but i want to know the reason of this. I didn't even rooted my device. And there's a lot of people faced this problem on 5T or older devices(3,3T,5)
This is hardware related problem My friend have problem like You, and RMA replaced motherboard.

I'm trying to unlock my mi max 6gb version I got from tradingshenzen today but I have no success with the latest version of the mi unlock tool. What's the issue here?

Isnt it unlocked already? It should come unlocked if you bought it from Trading Shenzhen...
Only if you get xiaomi eu rom, I did not I stuck with the original china rom
I bought my one at tradingshenzen too. It was locked.
Did you follow all the steps? Try to logout from mi-account on your phone and login again on the same wifi network as your pc is. Did you activate the developer options and set oem-unlock to on? Can your phone be located through https://i.mi.com/#/ ?
When everything goes right, it will say: waiting time 360 hours = 15 days before going to unlock.
If that's to long for you, then try to flash another rom (maybe China developer or stable), but better take an older version, because the new ones have Anti-Rollback activated.
And before you flash another rom, better logout from your mi account on your phone.
I reduced my waiting time to 240 hours by flashing another rom

I chose china rom also from trading shenzhen and got miui 10 china developer rom and they had it unlocked. It gets OTA updates every week...
The device is definitely still locked because there's no message when booting up and going to developer options > mi unlock status shows the device is locked.
Device can be located using find device
OEM unlocking is enabled in developer settings
Logged into mi account on the device which is the same on the mi unlock tool
Don't know what to do now. I'm on 9.6.12.0 which has antirollback unfortunately which I updated to when I was still getting the error.
Nevermind solved. I tried another computer that was Intel instead of AMD and I can now see the wait time to unlock. Ridiculous 719 hours...
Okay, this problem got me now. Three different PCs, all of them unable to unlock the new Xiaomi Mi 8.
I have to say, I am royally pissed of with Xiaomi. What on Earth happened? Why do they create this process, and why is it that buggy?
I was waiting to unlock my mi 8 lite and it told me the usual 360 hours and today it was up so I went in to unlock and now it says that I must 'use the phone more before unlock' Please wait 7 days. I'm so pissed I just put the return in to amazon I'm not doing that waiting again just for them to tell me wait again and then I can't return it. Anyone else seen this? Getting a OP6 I'm tired of this ****.

I've read somewhere that it could be a problem with a USB 3 Port, use a USB 2 Port if available. But I can't verify that for myself as I'm still waiting for mine to come :crying:

Well that's interesting, I was planning on letting mine just sit on the shelf until the 30 days have passed. Good to know that that's not a good way to go forward. Thanks for sharing that, even if it made you return your device.

Yeah I'm so unbelievably pissed, I noticed the unlock tool just told me no, then it said there was an update to the unlock tool, installed it. Then I get this now, LOL. Yeah ok Xiaomi I don't think so. It's too bad because the hardware is nice but they want to try and trap you into their crappy ad ridden ROM, bait and switch so I'm just going to grab a OP6 tonight and have it unlocked and flashed before this even gets back to amazon. I went cheap because I heard good things about xiaomi but it must have been in the past because this is very very bad business.
has anyone had any success unlocking after the time was up? I can't believe they are doing this.

Well from what I've heard, this unlocking procedure was introduced because some chinese vendors were unlocking chinese models of their phones and selling them in europe or elsewere and that was not what they had intended. So to prevent them from unlocking the devices they implemented this waiting time. And I guess "not using" is just one of the details of it. As I would understand it, a vendor could still request the unlock of several devices and then just wait but they would probably not pop a sim in every of these devices for a while. And to be clear, that's just a guess I'm making here. But I could imagine that being a "thing" to prove that you are indeed "using" the phone.
yeah I returned it this morning so I don't care anymore and got a OP6 I'm unlocking right now. I popped sim in the first day and then waited their mandated time and it said nothing about keeping sim in or anything and the countdown timer kept moving so I waited but not going to wait until my return period was over LOL. No way.

That's exactly the point. I had to use a very very old PC to do the unlocking. It wouldn't work on any newer one.
There is no waiting time anymore, though. But I guess you have found out yourself by now.

What do you mean be "very very old"? My (desktop) PC is just a few years but it still has plenty of USB 2.0 ports. But for the waiting, I'm still waiting that TradingShenzhen is actually shipping the damn thing Ordered it a week ago.

None of my newer PCs did the job, although they all USB2 ports. I had to use a PC that does NOT have a USB3 port, and that was my 6 year old ASUS.
I don't know what Xiaomi is thinking, but my guess is: Not very much. In this case, at least, the phone altogether is brilliant.

Ok that is strange, never heard of that, that the PC to use has to have USB 2.0 only. Then also my desktop would be out of the race as it has 2 USB 3.0 at the back...^^
Not sure this is something that they are doing on purpose, although it's not the first time I've read that something does not work with USB 3 and only with USB 2 (other stuff than unlocking).
It seems that there are still some driver issues or perhaps some other stuff that is interfering, because as more and more is upgraded to USB 3 (pc's as well as phones) that would make things very difficult if we were stuck on USB 2 for certain things.
But back to the phone, have you actually tried upping the dpi? I was wondering up to what point this can be done because the default resolution seems a bit like "not using the screen as effectively as you could do".

My best guess is that it indeed is a driver issue and the problem was the INTEL motherboard I use in both of my newer PCs. But it's just a guess. Perhaps the motherboard treats all USB ports internally like USB3 or what not...
I haven't upped the DPI. Maybe I should have, I had some trouble adapting my old browser to the much lower resolution of the Mi 8.
At first that put me off a bit - I come from a device with a 2K screen, and it felt like downgrading - but in everyday use there is no difference. The screen might just be FHD, but it's crisp, bright and great.
I will have a look at the DPI thing, I am triggered now.

Well I've also read that Intel boards are fine but AMD boards are causing trouble... Strange.
Well my phone before the 5x was an OPPO Find 7 (the s, not the a, so the "better" one with a QHD display) and I still use that from time to time like for navigating because its just so much more you see on the screen than on my 1080p Honor 5x. Let me know if you managed to get anything satisfying in regards to the DPI
