Found these on the /r/Xiaomi subreddit. Are they still working with new devices? Has anyone ever tried these?

I used them some time ago and worked just fine. Going to use again today later, I think they're still okay.

MDA PRO ROM upgrade

Hi all
My first post as a new MDA PRO owner HTC universal if I am not mistaken.
My question is that I am with Vodafone UK and am tying to flash my device with their latest ROM downloaded from their site.
I keep on getting the following message from the setup program i.e. "ERROR 120 COUNTRY CODE ERROR" 38-38-44-44-44.
What am I doing wrong as I thought these machines were all the same! Or is it just an attempt by Vodafone to stop me from putting their ROM on a Tmobile phone. If it is is there a work around?
Thanks in advance
Brian.
There are 2 ways to get it working.
1. Use MaUpgradeNoID Utility
2. Change some parameters with BAL666's HTC64 Tool
If you search the forum you should normally be able to find a manual for this.
If not, do not hesitate to use the Wiki:
wiki.xda-developers.com
section Universal
Thanks for that much appreciated
As I am new to this I think must be missing something as I have tried using MAUpgradeUT_NoID with no luck. I have also seen on the threads here about MAUpgradeUT_NoID_886 but cant find a download link for it.
If someone could give me a real idiots guide would be most grateful.
All done managed to get my thick head around it.
Just like to say what a great site this is and reminds me of early Psion days.
check buzzdev.net register there and go to the download page.
If you know something about computers, then try to reset the parameters. this was working for me! the NoID.exe doesn't look for these parameters, but that doesn't worked out for me.

How can i root my Acer E330 Liquid Glow

Hi to everyone...I've tried different softwares for rooting my Acer E330 ( z4root, Super one click, one click root) but I wasn't able to do it...can someone suggest me the right software for doing the root? Thank you very much!
Tutorial is already online
Hello
I just tried the tutorial on this site (using Google translate... because i'm not Italian) and IT WORKS!
*it appears i can't post links yet, so i'll post only the important pieces*
androidiani.com/forum/acer-liquid-glow/293539-definitivo-unlock-root-recovery-restore-mod-acer-e330-liquid-glow-link-aggiornati.html
I tried it before, but it didn't work because i didn't have the right drivers for my pc. Windows should recognize your Android phone as an "Android device", not a camera. Once that works, you can safely follow the instructions.
The download (E330Tools) is about 300 MB... Maybe, if I have time, I will try to contact the original author and create a decent English version. For now, you'll have to use google translate...
Good luck!

[NEEDED] Full Odin Package for SCH-I800

Please, anyone, I can't seem to find a mirror of a working Odin package anywhere out there in the ether. It doesn't matter what firmware revision it is so long as it is a full package that can restore and repartition. I will also provide a mirror to the file when I receive it.
Thanks,

You want the over come package.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1vgV8Tn0LSHejA4bU5WRktMeTQ&usp=sharing
I've shared it. But unsure if it's for the sch-i8000, i have the p1000 GSM version. You may want to look at the documentation for the overcome wipe (it's very popular to get your tab back to stock or for flashing new roms or unbricking soft bricks) to see if ti's compatible. There is a PDF somewhere in the xda forums here for tab that recreates the instruction for Overcome.
EDIT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881981
There someone has recreated. And looks like GSM only, so I think you're out of luck there.
So I did a quick search of sch-i800, and bam:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275031
Looks like some stock stuff for that is listed there.
Thanks dardack for the try but I don't think that any GSM or Sprint files are going to work properly.
Last night I started working through a stack of HDD's and think I found what I need. I am planning on testing today and if it works I will post a mirror.
Problem with all of this is that the Verizon tablets, I don't think, where very popular, and since 2-3 years have passed since release it's almost impossible to find working links anymore.

Nokia N1 A5CNB19 and A5FMB19 ROM files here

In a quest to replace the Chinese ROM on my tablet with the Taiwanese/global one, I found this helpful thread. Yet the key A5FMB19_update.zip file was missing. Luckily, after some search I managed to find a copy in the internet, together with the original A5CNB19.
Here are the files (re-uploaded to MEGA):
A5FMB19_update.zip (Taiwanese/global; with Google Play Services, Google Play Store, language supports, etc.)
A5CNB19_update.zip (Chinese)
Both are tested and confirmed working on my Nokia N1.
Thank you.
Hi, i just used the ROM file, and upgraded my old N1. Everything was just fine.
Many, many thanks to you, online.id. My N1 had been 'bricked' for over a year. Now it works well.
All the best wishes!
Also would like to confirm that both ROMs are working for me. I was searching for a long time now after I bricked my N1.
Many thanks.
Hi, the urls are dead, could you pls post it again or is there anyone that has the access to the zip. My N1s bricked and I did nothing other than using it as a bookreader.
PLEASE, I need help...

Downgrading from Android 10 to 9 locked bl

I am stuck at the latest version of android 10 (.618) on my xperia xz2 compact H8314 and I have a big problem using whatsapp and other messaging apps like messenger and telegram, basically the voice notes sounds very low, I can record audio using sony audio recorder and works fine but the other apps dont, I have been looking for this thread all over the xz2 forum but could not find it so thats why I decided to create it, I have also looked in other webpages but it seems that are very few mentions of it, I found this one and tried to follow it, but I failed in my attempt.
https:// xperiafirmware. com/downgrade/
Any help/advise is welcome and even questions of what I have already tried.
I thought about any other alternatives like fixing the problem in Android 10 but I couldnt either.
Edit: I get the next error message when I am flashing the .ftf file that I downloaded there:
"Those data are not in the FSC scrip and will be skipped:
BOOT,DSP,FSG,MODEMST1,MODEMST2,RDIMAGE.
Do you want to continue?"
then I try to turn on my phone and get the message "your phone is corrupt and it wont start" or something like that.
I have owned several xperia phones in the past, the last one was xperia X compact and I remember (I could be wrong) that I was able to make a downgrade without unlocking my bootloader.
I succesfully downgraded from 10 to 9 using sonys flashtool with bootloader unlocked. But I'm not sure if it's possible to do it without unlocking at the moment. Why not just unlock the bootloader?

Would be helpful if:
Where to get the Sony flashtool. (link?)
You could provide a link to how to unlock the bootloader. and
You could describe the "Downside" to unlocking the bootloader. What "no longer works"? Such as, will it no longer apply factory updates? Will Digital Rights Management (DRM) no longer work?
Seriously, my XZ2 Compact H8214 keeps reminding me (several times a day) that a firmware update is available, and I am sort of "scared to death" to do it. All I read are negative comments about what Android 10 has done to ruin people's phone. Without a way to "go back", I am seriously thinking of just ignoring these messages for weeks and weeks.

Well first of all, unlocking bootloader voids warranty, then a number of several sony technologies will for sure stop working, Basically all proprietary technologies like audio, video and most importan thing, CAMERA enhancements, how I do know this? well because I have been reading a lot lately and also since some years ago, and by experience because back in the day I had an xperia x compact and I didnt remember to backup DRM keys before unlocking bootloader.
Anyway I have found a way to downgrade from android 10 to 9 without unlocking the bootloader, I am not sure about if I should make a new post with specific instructions( a guide) or just write them in this post.
Oh, yes. Please share. The more details the better. (Assuming that people "know basic things" is often incorrect. The things I don't know is FAR too big to list.)

I have downgraded from 10 to 9 using official flashtool from sony (with bootloader unlocked) and my camera, audio, video etc. still works just fine. Maybe I just got lucky, but I think that by doing it through the tool provided by sony itself it shouldn't break anything. Which in my case, it didn't. Btw, thanks for the guide ?

Or maybe you don't know what you do, and happy for the nothing.
If you unlock the bootloader, you loose the TA partition (DRM keys). Your camera quality is worst, and some features lost (ps4 etc).

I just picked up an H8314 for use on Verizon in the US and it has Android 10 already.
@Tom 23 can you explain more about what you did? Details? Are you using an H8314? On Verizon? I've read in the XZ2 forums supposedly now unlocking on Android 10 still breaks some stuff but now not the camera?
@williamgrant can you provide/link a list of exactly what breaks when you unlock the bootloader? Perhaps what breaks depends on what version of Android you're on when you unlock?
I'm trying to determine/weigh the pros and cons of unlocking to root are, if its worth it, what am I giving up...

Do you notice specific problems with the H8314 on Verizon? I have been delaying the Android 10 firmware update because I cannot seem to find many reports of "how it works on Verizon".
I've only been using it for a little over 36 hours, but so far nothing glaringly wrong. Keep in mind thought that 36 hours ago I was using a 2013 Motorola Moto X running Android 5.1... now I'm on Android 10... So there's probably stuff that is a bug that I don't recognize is a bug!
My wife's had her H8314 on Verizon for about 6 months and it's on Android 10 as well. If she's not complained to me about anything then that's good! Then again, she's likely not at the same "level" as XDA forum members are!
I too am interested in how to roll back to Android 9 if it can be accomplished reasonably easily without giving up a bunch of stuff.
I've been plagued with issues on Android 10. Even with the most recent update things have not improved. The two things most annoying to me are the drastically reduced battery life (more than halved!! it doesn't even last a full day anymore!!) and the fact that MMS do not download correctly all the time anymore. I've also noticed that camera quality has gone down somehow, even though Android 10 was supposed to improve it...
Hello folks
I successfully downgraded my XZ2 Compact (H8314) from Android 10 to 9 using that info: "https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82087435"

Hello. I downloaded some month ago rom for UK via Xperifirm. I deleted already ta-files according to description, and I added newsflasher (version 20) into same folder. I zipped complete prepared folder and uploaded it now. Should be okay for Italy.
