So I just picked up this vivo tab for $100 and it seems awesome, but I am curious what I can do with it now? I am use to android and rooting and stuff. Wondering what kind of cool stuff I can do with this. I don't know much about it, or even much of the difference between windows 8 and 8rt, other than you can't run many apps. Any advice would be awesome.
Well, if it's still running RT 8.0 you can run the jailbreak:
This would allow you to run unsigned ARM compiled desktop applications, plus a few .NET 4.x apps that are cpu agnostic. List of them here.
If your device has been upgraded to RT 8.1 and you would like to revert back to RT 8.0 to run the jailbreak (no released jailbreak for 8.1 as yet) see this thread. It also includes instructions on what updates to hide so it won't prompt/automatically upgrade to 8.1 again. That guide is of course for the surface but downgrading the Asus should be similar, you'll just need the image for your model.
For me personally with my Surface RT there is nothing I have seen of 8.1 or the store apps that require it that is worth more than having the jailbreak so I've stuck with 8.0.
Thanks for the info. It's all up to date, running 8.1. Sorry for being a noob in this area, what would unassigned ARM compiled desktop apps be? Like normal PC type apps?
Is there any way too load just normal 8.1 non rt?
I figure if the Walmart nextbook 8 can run actual windows then why can't this one?
Because secure boot cannot be disabled on this device.
Mandatory. Enable/Disable Secure Boot. On non-ARM systems, it is required to implement the ability to disable Secure Boot via firmware setup. A physically present user must be allowed to disable Secure Boot via firmware setup without possession of PKpriv. A Windows Server may also disable Secure Boot remotely using a strongly authenticated (preferably public-key based) out-of-band management connection, such as to a baseboard management controller or service processor. Programmatic disabling of Secure Boot either during Boot Services or after exiting EFI Boot Services MUST NOT be possible. Disabling Secure Boot must not be possible on ARM systems.

That really sucks. And I'm sure it probably won't get Windows 10 either.
No, it won't be getting Windows 10 either, but supposedly some update will be coming to provide some new features... haven't heard what those will be.
Sorry I missed your response... unsigned (not unassigned) means software without a digital signature. Out of the box Windows RT will only run desktop applications that have been signed by Microsoft, and the jailbreak changes that to allow unsigned applications/executable files to run. So yes, regular desktop programs that have been compiled for ARM, or .NET applications that are CPU agnostic. See the list I'd previously posted.
We getting any kind of love with this major update on regular Windows software?

I'm going to assume you're referring to the Windows RT Update 3. It's due out sometime in September, but so far we have very little official word on what it might contain.
I haven't been keeping up with the RT software so I'm not sure what is out there. I got Windows 10 on my laptop. I know we won't get that on anything with rt but I heard we would get some of the Windows 10 features.

This is an automation script which is doing exactly the same what described here
--How to use--
Download Mi8Lite_tool.zip from attach and unzip the archive to the root of drive C. As a result, you get the folder C: \ Mi8Lite_tool
Enable "USB debugging" and "Install via USB" settings in Developer options.
Connect your phone to PC
Setup ADB on your computer according to this post.
Unlock your phone and start c:\Mi8Lite_tool\Mi8LiteTool.bat
Follow instructions on the screen. NOTE: You will be asked to allow to install application via USB on the phone screen twice. Allow it.
Relax and wait 1-2 minutes until phone rebooted twice and script finished.
Rollback is even easier. Connect your phone with "USB debugging" and "Install via USB" enabled, start script and follow instructions.
does this work even with notch hidden? as you know, when you use the hide mi8 lite's notch feature, it takes little bit of space below the notch itself.

Updating to MIUI 10.0.3.0 broke this. Any way to fix it? Other than downgrading of course.
Doesn't work on Xiaomi.eu 8.11.23
Does this also work on Mi 8?
Not working on Miui 10.0.3.0 Global. Can it be fixed please?
Same problem: not work with 10.0.3.0 Global rom.
Please fix-it!!
Not working for me. I`m flashing xiaomi.eu rom
Not working, MIUI 10.0.5.0
Not working on 10.0.5.0 Oreo. Installation of both APKs went in failure. Please fix it. Thanks.
i recently updated the software to lates Miui 12.06. after reboot. i started getting alot of issues
1. sim activation problem
2. constant reboot due to google apps.
so i disabled mi cloud and then no more issue with sim activation but the phone is still randomly restarting.
so i have done multiple factory reset and still no solution.
so wanted to flash the stock rom but not able to find it; the one i want to download is the global version but the link is broken (this is from official Miui site)
if anyone have any solution please share.
hello. i am on 12.06 too, so far i have enabled usb debugging on this phone and put it in ADB mode using windows powershell and then i run Xiaomi ADBFastboot tools concurrently. i have disabled a lot of stuff that i thought i didnt use from the fastboot tools. only calendar, playstore and photos left and what ever similar app i can get from fdroid i, disabled the Mi application. i got myself a blokada to block ads. happy for now. i did have sim not detect at one point, i removed the sim 1, gave it a good rub of eraser, make sure its flat, and then resit and make sure sim toolkit is there, happy campers there
Hey, I recently received my vivo x60 pro plus. I'm trying to setup android auto and can't figure out why it's not working.
So my hope is, someone over here could help.
When I start the android auto app, it asks for several permissions. I've granted them all, but I'm not able to grant "floating windows" I don't know if this the correct translation for it.
It's simply not possible because android auto doesn't appear in that list and I can't activate it. Someone had similar issues or does have a workaround?
I'm on X60 pro plus...... Same issue....
Hi.
I have the same issue on an iqoo 5 since updating to android 11 (it worked before)
Have either of you managed to get android auto to work?
Exactly same issue here! Any progress?
Hi.
A little progress maybe.
I have managed to give permissions and get into the app on my phone using an adb command :
adb shell pm grant com.google.android.projection.gearhead android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW
However, there is an issue when connecting to my car.
The phone screen seems to freeze and I must change the foreground app to something other than AA (android auto seems to crash)
The connection doesn't happen and no car is detected in android auto.

Thank you very much. I know how to active the developer`s mode, but I don`t know how to do the adb thing. Can you tell me how perhaps? Then I can also try and we can see if it woks.

Hello. Since you use a x60. Did you realize that photos seems different in the native album comparing to google photos for example (both in the phone)? And in the native album that image seems to loose saturation when you try to edit it? Also, if you upload the pictures to google photos and try to see them in a compute screen, the saturation changes when zooming in the image?

The same thing to me. I was able do acess Android Auto on phone with this adb. However the car does not recognize the android auto on the phone and the phone does not recognize the connection with the car. It seems surprising how one of the most important apps in android does not work and vivo seems to be ignoring or not solving this issue.
Hello, I contacted Vivo China and they told me the following.

Carlifeplus is not even close to the Android Auto. It's a Chinese app meant only for the phone and working only with other Chinese apps in Chinese language.
I've written to the support myself and haven't gotten any useful help either.
I like Vivo phones and I don't have other problems with Origin OS. I'm seriously considering buying X70 pro+ which suppose to hit the market in September. And I recommend Vivo to address AA issue very seriously. Because like many others, I won't buy any phone without AA. I would look somewhere else, the new Honor could be a decent replacement.
Hello, I found this application, I do not know if it could work to accept the permission, as it does not matter if the phone is blocked, I could try.

Hello!
I need help regarding a Redmi Note 8 that no longer accepts the correct pattern and is locked.
I'm looking for a solution that would allow me to either unlock my phone without data loss, or make a backup of the phone's internal storage on an sd card/pc before hard resetting.
The device is not rooted and I don't have custom recovery installed. USB Debugging is on, but my laptop is not authorized.
With Adb, the device is detected but unauthorized. It seems to be detected normally in fastboot mode. I was able to get my laptop to detect it in recovery mode by clicking on "Connect with MIAssistant" while it was plugged in, but only in sideload mode. I also somehow managed to get into safe mode, but I used the stock screen lock, so unless there's something else that can be done in that mode, it doesn't seem useful in this situation.
I tried the actual MIAssistant software but it tells me to update my device before connecting. From what I found, this is because it doesn't even work with phones running Android 6.0 Marshmallow or above, so that seems to be a dead-end, unfortunately. Downloaded from here, updated to version 3.2.1.3111. If there's a newer version that could support my device, even an untranslated one, I would love to know, but I couldn't find a working one.
I had some ideas that could potentially solve my problem, but couldn't find a way to actually execute them, so here they are in case someone out there who knows more than me could help me with one of them.
1, Is there any way I could authorize my laptop for USB Debugging without being able to accept the prompt on screen?
2, Is there a way to make a backup of the internal storage of my phone in fastboot/sideload mode?
3, Is there a way to get adb to detect this device normally in recovery mode, instead of in sideload mode?
4, Is there a way to get my device into mtp/ptp mode instead of charging mode when connected to a PC without USB Debugging so I can copy my files?
5, Here's a thread I found that seems promising, although it's old. Could I somehow use this, or a similar method on Redmi Note 8? The Recovery Mode is much more limiting on this device, unfortunately, so I can't exactly follow this tutorial. Are there alternatives that can be done in adb fastboot/sideload mode, perhaps?
6, If I am forced to hard reset, is there any software out there that could recover at least some of the deleted data afterwards, or is everything lost in case of a reset?
I am open to new ideas not listed above, as well. I am not a very advanced user so I probably missed some things.
Thank you so much for any answer in advance!

not as far as i know, ask in ADB thread if you find any
Updated with extra info in case anyone else has any ideas.
Even if you can copy your files to PC, they are problably unusable because of encryption.
That is why you need that pattern
For security this is exactly what you want, if your phone is lost or stolen.

Do you mean that the reason it doesn't accept the correct pattern anymore is for security? I would have thought it would still accept the correct one, at least after several tries of the same thing. Being completely locked out even when you know the correct password is a little strange to me.

Howdy bro (I also have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8).
I've been almost two intense weeks reading and watching the XDA forum, trying somehow and I did not find the way to unlock it .... Besides that I have the Bootloader disabled it makes me more difficult, because for that I need to format my phone and is what I do not want ....
