I rooted my phone and flashed some custom rom.
It's 1 year the usb port is not working anymore and now I want to repair the phone (still in warranty) so I'll send it at HTC service shop. I don't wanna have problems with the warranty, it's only an hardware problem, so I want to go back to stock beacuse they HAVE TO fix my problem, even if the problem is not related with the root.
Is there a way to return to stock not using the usb port but only the SD card?
I'd want to be more stock as possible, so first I have to find the stock rom (and I think I can't use the RUUs because of the USB not working).
Then I should return to stock recovery and to stock bootloader, but I totally don't know how to do it.
Please help me, I don't want to change phone, I love my WFS...Thanks!

"still in warranty" u lost when u unlock bootloader Sorry u try find other service, or servicer where work ur good friends
Due it is a hardware related problem HTC should repair the USB port. If your device is a European one you can flash a tool by theq86 to lock your bootloader then flash when you are on cm Rom stock recovery then flash crossfire77 perfectly stock not even rooted Rom.

Hi guys
I installed [ROM] AndroidNow HD 1.7 G3 D855 [V10L/support ART] on my LG G3 via BUMP(TWRP)
Now I want to know if there is any way to install STOCK ROM back(this one which was on phone when I get it) If answer is yes, where do I get flash file for it?
Also can I unroot and remove BUMP ? I'm asking because of warranty...Thank you
you have NO warranty as you have flashed a custom rom/recovery and rooted (depending on country and/or fault with device) also use the search button as this has already been covered plenty.

technically you void the warranty by modifying the phone, however, there are arguments especially in the EU that a software fault cannot breach the warranty for faulty hardware etc.
also if you flash back to stock they have no way of knowing what you did, also from experience they tend to not care anyway.
Thank you guys for all your answers to my question.
Specially to the guy , who gave me the link to the KDZ image file and FLASH tool.
I will try to restore my LG G3 back to STOCK ROM because of update to android L(Lolipop).

If you are returning to stock only for the Lollipop update you might want to just wait because I'm sure we'll have a working Bump'd port by the time LG starts rolling out the update near the end of this year. That being said, you may still receive the update before us, but Autoprime and TheCubed have warned us not to take OTA updates because Qualcomm is rolling out its anti-rollback updates soon that may prevent you from ever unlocking this phone again and may make you lose root for a long time. I'm sure that LG is working on patching Bump in the 5.0 update so just be warned that you may never get a custom recovery on this phone again if you choose to take the official update. I am relying on the devs here to get us a Bump'd version so I can keep this beast free. That's just my two cents and it's your decision I just wanted to warn you about the risk. Have a good day man!
Thank you for your answer. Yes I heard about this news(qualcom,..) but I will go back to stock, after that I will ROOT my phone again and install BUMP. Do you have any information about when the BUMP tool will be released so cyanogenmod and other ROM's will come?
EDIT: Will this method also work: http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html ?

I just order Mi 5S yesterday from AliExpress. I Asked them to not flash any custom ROM and keep stock. Seller confirmed but I'm still a bit suspicious they may flash custom ROM. Is/are there any way/s to confirm that one has stock or custom ROM installed on the device?

Simple. Once you get your device, check which version is installed by going into Settings / About Phone.
Then simply check http://en.miui.com/extra.php?mod=rom/download&r=314&mobile=no and compare. If the version installed doesn't match the ones in the link, then it isn't an official rom.

I'm pretty sure you can, so it's safer to flash an original ROM package from miui if buying from 3rd party vendors, they might install mal/spyware

Well, it's that easy to check which version you have and if that version number is official or not.
If you are that concerned about it, flash an official version.
You can check if your bootloader is unlocked. If it is, you got a custom one. If it isn't, you have an official rom, or they were able to change it in the production of the phone itself (as the bootloader only allows correctly signed roms).

how can one check whether the bootloader is locked?
If you have ADB experience, this is the command:

This is not true. They can also flash a Shop-ROM with EDL flashing mode. I also have a custom ROM on my mi 5s (8.0.10.0.0, with google play and many languages) and bootloader was locked.
If you have original ROM you will only have chinese and english language. Also there should be no google software at all (no google play, no google services). If it is so, and you have version "8.0.10.0(MAGCNDH)" then it shhould be original firmware from Xiaomi.
Oh wow, didn't know that they can do this.
So my phone came with this version:
MIUI 8.0.15.0(MAGCNDI)
Android version 6.0.1 MXB48T
Interesting enough this version isn't on the miui.com for download... Is it legit or not?
Mine has the same version, opened this thread: http://en.miui.com/thread-417953-1-1.html
You might also want to add a picture there

Great thanks. So far it looks like it's an official factory ROM, at least mine looks like it was never tampered with. Let's wait and see what their forum admins think of this. You also don't get the OTA to 8.0.17.0?

I already flashed the 6.11.10 developer ROM because you apparently need dev ROM to unlock. Now waiting for my permission to unlock from Xiaomi Gods. Is it likely to get denied or granted?
I think it's always granted, but it can take up to 10 days.
Could you do me a favor, can you test if Pokemon Go runs on your mobile now?
Also can you check if this app gives you a Pass or Fail?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scottyab.safetynet.sample&hl=en
This checks if your mobile is still SafetyNet conform, which means all apps, even banking ones, should start.

Maybe a question for those that have used MIUI for a longer time... The 8.0.15.0 version had monochromatic icons in settings menu, but when I flashed latest official Dev ROM 6.11.10, those icons are now coloured. So if icons used to be monochromatic up until some past version, than this supposedly newest version 8.0.15.0 can't be future unless Xiaomi decided for whatever reason to go from mono, to colours and back to mono icons.

My phone came with the box unsealed and a fake ROM installed which I wasn't very happy about. I applied for unlocking the first day I got the phone and about 15minutes after submitting, received approval to unlock! The reason I stated was to flash an official ROM as I was unhappy with the vendor ROM.
I had read somewhere that others were successful unlocking without a developer ROM and after initial difficulties getting to 50% before failing, read another post on the Miui forums about the need to do a factory reset and then immediately sign in to your Miui account accepting all options for sync, Mi Cloud, backup etc. I did this and sure enough, the process completed and the bootloader was unlocked!
Just got a Redmi Note 8 Pro with Global ROM and discovered that call recording won't work due to Google/Android Pie limitations.
After some searching, I found (on this forum) that the Indonesia ROM supports call recording on this phone.
Here are my questions:
1. Will burning a different ROM affect my warranty?
2. Will I lose any functionality by switching from Global to Indonesia ROM, and if so, what? Specifically, will NFC functionality be affected?
3. If I ever do a factory reset, will the phone revert to Global ROM?
4. I found the Indonesia ROM files here. There are three files called Recovery, OTA, and Fastboot. Do I need them all? If so, do they need to be burned in any specific order?
5. Where can I find complete instructions for burning the Indonesia ROM? I am new to Xiaomi, and the last time I burned a ROM to a phone was 5 years ago (Samsung); I don't remember anything, so I'd like instructions that assume nothing and don't skip any steps (instructions for intelligent dummies). I found these instructions for installing TWRP, but there's nothing about what to do next, and there's a list of pre-requisites with no explanations (Unlocked Bootloader, Phone Drivers, ADB and Fastboot Drivers), making the instructions insufficient for a noob like me.
Thanks much.

Hey,
Before going any further you first need to make sure what region is your phone. Is it a Chinese phone (bought from AliExpress for example) or a real Global phone (bought from a local store/official retail). Because you could very well own a Chinese phone shipped with a Global Rom flashed on it and this could result in some problems for you in terms of what you can do with it and how you can do it.
If you bought/received a phone with already unlocked bootloader, you should return it.
Unlocking bootloader should only be done by you when you need it.
1. Technically unlocking bootloader, ESSENTIAL step prior flashing anything, void your warranty.
However and that's what is interesting, if at some point you decide to flash back your original region rom (here Global) and lock back bootloader, none will know but Xiaomi servers you once unlocked this device certainly not a local reseller. So in term of warranty you should be safe, that is of course unless you brick your phone doing stuff you were not supposed to do with a locked bootloader if you are following.
2. If not mistaking, I think you loose NFC. Indian phones for sure do not have NFC at all, for their version, the chip was replaced with a 2nd SIM card tray (not shared). Not sure if you read the functionality afterward using rooted tricks.
3. No that does not work this way. When you are running a Rom, any version, if you factory reset that room, you just return to installation screen of that given Rom.
To return to Global Rom, you will need to reflash that Global Rom using the same method you did successfully flashing the Indonesian Rom (or any other rom) for example.
Would be wise to first download the exact version of the Rom you are currently using on your phone for archives purpose (BURN IT on good quality medias!) to revert back to it when/if needed. You can also archives OTA updates of that version you may not have taken yet to apply them manually if you ever revert back to that Global Rom and want to.
4. Different versions depends on what you are doing. In your case Fastboot version is what you need at the moment. You can find all different kind of versions of Roms for your RN8PRO on that site
As for the way to flash them, order and everything, you will need to look for guides online,
I dont think any order matters, just make sure to flash them all before rebooting disconnecting device. But if you are unsure of what you are doing, you'd be probably best using a tool such as MiFlash.
5. Here you can find one from the MIUI community website guiding you through the use of MiFlash to flash a stock Rom on your device.
Just note you do not have to use any tools to flash the .images of all partitions, you can easily doing it from command line using fastboot flash command one after an other.
Also note that installing TWRP is usually not needed to flash stock Roms (unlike flashing custom roms). Trying to mess up with the recovery partition is actually what seem to brick most of the devices.
However please note UNLOCKING your BOOTLOADER is MENDATORY.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
doesnt matter if you switch to any rom variant .i have switched mine to indonesian ,europe and indian and alll worked fine execpt indian version felt a bit laggy .just download the fastboot version of the rom and flash it through mi flash tool xiaomiflash .your bootloader needs to be unlocked and dont forget to check cleann all button in mi flash and dont check clean and lock
I have got global version and changed imei with unlocked bootloader. Can i flash indonesian rom without lose f my imei?
Thanks in advance for your answers
Muad.Dib,
Thanks for your detailed reply.
If I understand correctly, unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty just the same as rooting the phone, so if all I want is to get call recording, I may as well just root the phone and save the bother of flashing a different ROM.
Does that make sense to you, or do you see any advantage to flashing a different stock ROM instead of just rooting the phone? From past experience I've seen that rooting has additional benefits anyway.
BTW, I bought my phone on Banggood. It was advertised as Global ROM, and that appears to be what it has. As soon as I turned the phone on it updated to MIUI Global 11.0.2.1; I don't know what version it was before the update.

You're welcome, I am happy if I was useful to you in any kind of ways.
Well yes and no. Yes apparently you 'could' achieve call recording when rooted (yet I still fail doing so even if I installed the default MUI apps module I got from Telegram group. The setting to automatic recording is set to on yes, but I dont see recordings in the supposed destination folder nor I can see a simple button to record any voicecall I used to have on older versions of Android. Me failing to make it work - I did not try very hard to be honest - does not mean you cannot find someone who succeeded into doing so in that telegram group for RN8PRO).
That said it would not be a 'native' solution, just a patch/workaround. If it works well great, if not, well...
On an other hand by flashing to a Rom which does support it natively, well you are covered for the use you need.
So the advantage I see (with the included disadvantages) is better support for the function which is not supported for privacy reasons en Glob/EU market.
Does that come at a price?
Probably.
For example are you ready to trade off NFC for native call recording support? That may be a choice you have to make in the end. Again that said, if you root your phone on that new Rom, install NFC drivers manually as root (I see no reasons why that would not be possible after all) you may be able to patch NFC on that other Rom since unlike Indonesians market phone, you do have NFC hardware.
For example, myself, I wish I could have made that kind of bargain/trade off, giving up that NFC feature I have no need for, to get 8GB or Ram + 2x Sims + SD and not an hybrid tray. Unfortunately that's not the kind of trade I could make here in EU unless I would have ordered directly from Amazon.in (assuming that would have been possible) or third party website, but that was not possible for warranty reasons among other things.
Hope this helps.

Yes it does as it is officially available in every variant expect indian variant.
UPDATE:
I finally had the time to test the MIUI-default-apps Magisk module available for download on Telegram group, originally made for MIUI 11.0.1.0, and it works properly on MIUI 11.0.2.0 EEA. Does not require changing Rom.
Hope this helps.
Well, I have finally started the process, but got stymied by the Bootloader Unlock tool (Couldn't unlock. Please unlock 168 hours later.). Quite frustrating. I see that a lot of people have this problem and had to try again more than once, waiting a week between attempts.
Is there a workaround or do I just have to wait a week and hope for the best?
Also, assuming all goes well and I eventually manage to unlock the bootloader and flash the Indonesia ROM, do I use the same tool to re-lock the bootloader (in order to restore the security of the phone)?
And if I want to unlock again in the future, will I again possibly get the "wait and try again next week" message, or does that only happen the first time?
Thanks.

No workaround, you just have to wait (and yes I know how freaking frustrating it was for me...). You can even start meditation classes meanwhile it helps

It depends on what your the flavor of the phone you got. You may want to have a look at that other thread Relock bootloader after flashing ROM Indonesia where we actually covered this exact subject
The good thing about that 7 days wait period is you can gather all the intel you need to be 100% ready when the time come to seriously mess up with things.
So you know, once your bootloader is unlocked, first thing you will want to do BEFORE anything else, is blow off that security which needed Auth Account to unbrick account (ONLY WORKS FOR PIE, ANDROID 9 MIUI VERSION BEWARE).
All information is here: [GUIDE][INFO][PSA] Redmi Note 8 Pro - Megathread

The waiting time is for one time only (THANKS GOD!).
So if you relock, beside having to get your hands on the unlock tool once again and have added the same infos as for the first time in the phone, you will be able to unlock right away.
That's at least a good news

Yes of course.
It is a module you can find on the Telegram group called "Redmi Note 8 Pro | OFFICIAL".
Like me you will have to go in there even if you do not use Telegram.
Once there and you got the /notes it is called the default apps.
I cannot share it myself here because I am not the developer of that module, as you can understand that's against forums policies.
All I can tell you is it works correctly on EEA MIUI 11.0.2.0.
Good luck!
Hope this helps.

Thanks man, I got it! ?
I have disovered that there are different NGC protocols and that my Redmi Note 8 Pro does not read NFC cards of some protocols. I'm wondering if it might not be a driver issue. where would I look for NFC drivers?
Thanks

For example are you ready to trade off NFC for native call recording support? That may be a choice you have to make in the end. Again that said, if you root your phone on that new Rom, install NFC drivers manually as root (I see no reasons why that would not be possible after all) you may be able to patch NFC on that other Rom since unlike Indonesians market phone, you do have NFC hardware.

Sadly I have no idea. I think you should make a new thread about this to get more visibility and probably more answers from people who actually knows the answer.
Hope this help.

UPDATE:
I finally had the time to test the MIUI-default-apps Magisk module available for download on Telegram group, originally made for MIUI 11.0.1.0, and it works properly on MIUI 11.0.2.0 EEA. Does not require changing Rom.
Hope this helps.

Hey,
Sorry was AFK for a while. In case you still need answer, going to reply just in case.
Well there is not much to add, you simply install the module from within Magisk once it installed, you reboot, and it works out of the box, you go in the settings and you set it as you like.
Good luck!
Do i need to root before installing it ?

But isn't the phone already on a stock rom? But that it's rooted? Or is it running an aftermarket rom like Lineage? Look in settings, software version to find out.
You can relock the boot-loader, but before trying to do that, you have to be running 100% stock, no modifications to the rom whatsoever. I've done that but have only attempted it after using lgup to flash a complete stock rom.
To re-lock it you have to use the engineering abl and qfil to flash it, then go directly to fastboot, re-lock, then use fastboot one last time to flash the original abl back.
look in the guides section to get an idea of how to do above.

I don't think there's an easy way to determine that, at least not be 100% positive of it. What I would do is a factory reset first, but that doesn't guarantee everything will then be 100% stock.
If you're not comfortable trying to re-lock bl after that, then use lgup to flash the stock firmware. That would be my preferable way to do it.
There are, in the guides section, threads on how to do these things. Good luck. But lesson learned though right? Don't buy a phone with unlocked boot loader if you want to use banking apps and have no use for root. Hopefully it will turn out to be a good learning experience though.
Thank for you replying. I thoughts this Android 10 on this phone was modified, it wasn't recognized on LGUP. Next time I should avoid for rooted phone

Looks to me like you don't have lgup / drivers setup properly. So I'd guess you've never had lgup setup for any other lg phone before? And your error isn't because of the software on the phone, but because of the setup?
Look in the guides forum and you'll find some that show how to setup and use lgup. It's a bit complicated because different versions have different purposes, but it looks to me your device is running basic US Cellular rom, and there's really nothing you can do with root that would make that 'unrecognizable' by lgup.
