Yeah. Although that was on a different update. I believe they have issues with OTA updates.
which ROM is that?
I just received the update "Elephone P8000 20150909222555", is it a new one?
I just let it install through the recovery and it is now stuck in the Elephone logo while booting! FML
Seems that I can't post links but here is an image of what the OTA promt said: http :// imgur. com/ lndzEj4.png

And the only "news" in this ROM update is that they've changed default launcher to a spyware/trojan included x-launcher, complete b*ll**** nonsense from Elephone dev.

I don't use SIM 2 so it won't affect me. But I've seen they mentioned some IMEI issues that causes this problem with some SIM cards.
They also mentioned some issues with the launcher they use (spam, adverts etc). Do you have these issues as well?
I've always used the nova launcher without issues. Before I upgraded today sim 2 was working fine. I bought this phone for dual sim and now it doesn't work

Check if your IMEI is ok.
If not check the solution posted here
Hope that helps. Let us know how it will go.
What do you mean check my IMEI?
I had the exact same problem after ota update (stuck at bootimage)...
I precisly followed this guide: bbs.elephone.hk/thread-1037-1-1.html#.VfpyK7P7vtS and it works again.
With this Firmware version i could use ota without breaking my device. I think OTA just didn't work for the 07/09 firmware version I had on my phone.
Best Regards,
Lukas
edit: sry for the messed up link(aren't allowed to post links yet)
borofanuk said:

Click to collapse
Go to your Settings->About Phone->Status->IMEI information
There you can see the IMEI for each SIM slot. If it's messed up for a one slot I guess that's the reason a SIM card won't work.
For example there a 15 digit number for Slot 1 and 2 and then a 2 digit number for SV for each slot.
FYI, I never use the 2nd slot so I'm not sure if it's working or not.
Hope this clarifies at least something for you and you'll be able to fix your phone.
Don't install this buggy Update
The update is not buggy for me. Everything seems to be working fine (2 SIMs etc). No problems so far. As for the launcher I always use Nova myself so I don't know what the problem is with the new one. Aesthetically though it is a lot better than it was, because it resembles stock (it has app drawer etc).
Just don't install OTA

Yeah, I had to follow the guide on how to flash the device since the OTA soft-bricked the phone. It was a bit of a hassle doing so in Windows 10 but it is doable

I'm trying to do mine on Windows 8.1 but i have some issues with the driver. Got any tips?
I'm installing the driver but I get some errors at the end of the installation. Then I connect my phone, in the device manager i get the driver name there for a few secs and then it goes away.
how to unlock bootloader, install TWRP, magisk, custom rom?
I made similar question on Mi Mix 1 forum, but since i'm probably going to buy this device, i think this is the correct forum
I am also very interested in how to unlock the bootloader and root the device. Great question!
If the device is imported it will likely arrive with an unlocked bootloader. If it doesn't, go here: http://en.miui.com/unlock/
Root access should be easy, once I have my unit and verify, I could post instructions though I think we'll have root and recovery support long before mine gets to me. The real issue is the mix 2 gaining traction with the modders, we'll have to wait until enough units trickle out internationally and get picked up by modders to build roms.
Looking at Xiaomi's recent phones and relative ease of unlocking, in theory, a snapdragon device should not pose a problem, especially since Xiaomi doesn't appear to oppose unlocking.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 2
If you consider the fact that this device is relatively new, you can get the idea of how much time will be needed by the developers to craft new ROMs for this device. It will take some time for TWRP Recovery. In this gap, you can unlock bootloader from below link :good:

Hello everyone,
... meanwhile we wait for TWRP or global ROM. there is the possibility to install play store and other language on MI MIX 2?
Thanks!

You can usually install Google Play Services using an installation package which you can download from Mi store or as an apk. I have found it can be a bit hit and miss though in terms of getting all the contact and calendar syncing working correctly.
I've got the MIX2 now .and i've already unlocked the device,but there is no twrp recovery so i can not root the device....
could you post the intructions to revise other recoverys then MIX 2 could just root?
How did you unlock the boot loader?
I think I accidentally unrooted my phone. So I'm a bit confused. Samsung j700t1. I currently have another rom installed though.

In theory the steps to achieve root:
- make unlock request on http://www.miui.com/unlock/
- wait until xiaomi releasese the chinese dev rom http://en.miui.com/download-334.html
- flash chinese dev rom
- enable root
or:
- make unlock request on http://www.miui.com/unlock/
- wait for twrp to support the mix 2

Found a TWRP build
Hey guys...i've found a TWRP-build for the Mi Mix 2 Chiron on the MIUI forum. I would post the link, but I have a new account and i'm not able to to that
Since I don't understand chinese, I don't know if it is real and working. Is there a brave guy, which will give it a try?
Just write ma a message and I'll send you the link.
Here is twrp anyone tried this https://romprovider.com/2017/09/xiaomi-mi-mix-2-root-twrp-recovery/

What is tried everything ?
Not trying to be a jerk,but,most would be willing to help if not starting on a fishing expedition/guessing game.
I'll get things rollin':
1) Are you signed-in to the same Xiaomi account on both the phone & PC?
2) Have you tried using a VPN to connect to a Chinese server when using the Mi Unlock tool?

Well I am sure I am using the same xiaomi account on the phone and pc.
I tried VPN, but I am not sure if it really worked . Any VPN app to recommend please?
Saw few users not having App Twin feature on various variant of 6X on EMUI 5.0. I found this trick on Honor 5C Facebook group shared by one of the user claiming this worked for him on rooted phone. I could not test this because I already have this feature on my phones so unable to verify but someone not having this feature on EMUI 5.0 can verify and report.
This needs a rooted phone with root enabled file explorer. (Root browser or ES file manager)
Go to this path:- system/emui/lite/prop/
backup this file - local.prop (copy and paste in internal storage or somewhere)
Now edit the original file under system/emui/lite/prop/ and make below changes.
fw.max_users=1 to 2
fw.show_multiuserui=0 to 1
ro.config.hw_support_clone_app=false to true.
Save the file and Reboot the phone.
Now check in settings option just below battery for app twin.
If it works, please share the feedback so that other users can get benefit of this and if doesn't work, we will explore more option to have this.
If you face any issue, just restore the original file from backup.
Good luck.

Thanks for testing it mate.
Tested this feature and this will work 100% on Honor 6X on any region. Just follow the instruction mentioned in OP. I just did on BLN-L21 model (debranded today)
Just debranded from BLN-L22 to BLN-L21. Everything working fine. More details to follow soon.
For those, who were just curious to know if there will be OTA after debranding, you will get OTA after debranding without any issue. Just confirmed after debranding to BLN-L21. Got 2 updates in less than 30 minutes.
EDIT- Ignore this post. was posting in debranding guide thread but tab changed in a blink which I didnt notice.

Just FYI. This guide worked, more or less, on a Huawei Enjoy 7 Plus (Nougat 7.0, Emui 5.1). Did I say "More or less"? yeah, I did.
It appeared "Aplicación gemela" new menu, just under the battery option in the settings menu ("twin app", in spanish). Problem is inside option, I only have option to replicate WeChat app. Okay, that is one of the two apps I'd like to clone (messaging app with logon based on phone number, and this phone is a 2-SIM one... personal and work). The other one is Whatsapp, also installed. But not appearing in menu for twinage.
So guide works, functionality in limited way.
Maybe it's due the mobile origin (China), the tuning I've made to it for getting gApps working (my god...), or maybe its due the whatsapp I've installed is the beta version? unsure.

O so there is a seperate method given already in xda for cloning as many app as you want. This guide will just enable your phone for this feature. Let me give you link for the other guide.

Sorry, forgot to come and edit. I've already seen it. it's great info.
But in the end, Whatsapp doesn't works for me (ok, I didn't go trhough ABD but just modified XML file, whatsapp appears in menu, i can clone it, second icon appears in NOVA's app drawer, but it opens with the SAME configuration, it is not a different one... for wechat, it works)
It is no so important for me, so I'm not dedicating more time, just playing around a nice feature. If sometime in future i need it, maybe i will investigate more or use any app out there for cloning.
Thanks ^_^

Apps or WhatsApp must be updated. Also Khan posted one zip which can be used for many needed apps. Check in guide section of honor 6X
Anyone know how to root the mate se which is basically the 7x but with more ram and storage? There doesn't seem to be a section for the device yet.
The Mate SE is literally the international Honor 7x. So hopefully someone can confirm if the existing methods for root, bootloader unlock, and TWRP will work on the Mate SE.
My Mate SE is running TWRP and it's rooted.
Follow the guide here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/how-to-root-honor-7x-international-t3716056
I had to sideload SuperSU because my phone files are encrypted and I couldn't just run it on the phone. Installing TWRP worked perfectly though.
Thanks for the info. I'm assuming no go on the AOSP 8.0 build working on the Mate SE?

I found this guy through a youtube video he had posted talking about and showing this being done so i contacted him via the chat box on the site and he was with me immediately and got on and got the unlock code extracted from my phone in 5 to 10 minutes tops throughout the whole transaction of paying thru paypal which is a protected payment is services should not work but the guy offers refunds if it is not successful anyways but has been successful with just about everyone it looks like. Happy unlocking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
