Hi guys
Just received my redmi note 4 three days ago, set it up and installed all my apps and it was good, the version on it was MIUI 8.0.3.0 Global Stable, but it was asking me to update to 8.0.4.0, so I did, and ever since I noticed that the phone gets more hot, battery drains faster than it used to on previous version, and what's even worse, is the signal, it keeps always switching between 4G and 3G even if the signal coverage in my location is good (had the galaxy s7 before and it never did this), even on MIUI 8.0.3.0 it was a stable 4G all the time. So I performed a factory reset and started fresh, battery and heat are now good but I still have the bad signal issue. So I figured that I should downgrade to MIUI 8.0.3.0 and wait for 8.2 hoping that it won't have this issue. The question is how can I do that? Can I use the standard method of flashing using SP Flash Tool found here? http://en.miui.com/thread-370620-1-1.html
If you have any other solutions, please advise
Thank you!

Hello there!
You can use the method that you linked without any problem. SPFlashTool does not check for current firmware version so you can do a downgrade just fine. Make sure to follow the exact steps in MIUI Forums especially where it says wich files/images to flash to your device. Otherwise you may brick your Note 4.
If you are interested you could also try a custom ROM wich will give you a smoother and less buggy device. But you will need a bootloader unlock for that to work.

I've already downgraded, unlocked my bootloader and tried a couple of custom ROMs including Epic ROM and multirom, but I didn't like them very much, they had too many buys and the development for them is not very good.. Could you suggest a good custom ROM that isn't as buggy and has a good battery life? I'd appreciate it if you could.

I only tested one ROM yet and that would be that one linked here!
It works just fine at the moment. I have had it for 4 days now. I would also suggest flashing Magisk 11 or suhide.
There currently is a Bug with the middle Softkey wich is assigned to multitasking view and the google search at once. Someone has posted a fix for that wich i cant find currently because it was posted in MIUI forums and the user was banned. You can always try to swap the Softkeys yourself with an xposed module or a root app.

Tried this one before, it was good enough, and I was able to swap the buttons using Gravitybox.. I just flashed latest epic ROM yesterday and so far so good.. But I'll surely change it again in a few days (I love re-flashing ROMs)
Thanks

Does anyone have any experience with the MIUI v6.6.5.0 global stable rom,please share it here?
I have 6.6.5.0 (KXFMICF) Global Stable loaded on mine. Doesn't feel much different than the previous global stable ROM. Not sure if they addressed some of the wifi connecting issues because that's the only thing that "seems" better to me with this latest ROM.
Xiaomi keeps on releasing updates for the Mipad,but they don't intend to make the device any better.

Not familiar with this particular device, but having flashed 1000s of roms, I would be willing to bet it's a kernel issue, as that is the most common cause of that problem.

Hi guys,
I got the Xiaomi Mi Pad today but it's all Chinese, can I manually download the global ROM and burn it?
If yes, does somebody have the link for the global ROM?

First thing is i want to correct that the right term to use is flash not burn.
second, yes you can get the global rom on their official site.
here's the direct download link : http://bigota.d.miui.com/V6.7.2.0.KXFMICH/miui_MIPADGlobal_V6.7.2.0.KXFMICH_5ee3492de2_4.4.zip

The only S5 Kitkat ROMs I've found either haven't been updated in over a year, or many users are reporting severe bugs like no camera support, or severe battery drain issues.
I'm just trying to get an app called Winulator running so I can play Starcraft: Broodwar on android, but it isn't working and one user said that is because Lolipop broke it (I'm on 5.1.1 atm). The app is no longer supported so I don't think it will ever run properly on 5.x. If anyone knows of a way to emulate 4.x for just 1 app maybe that would be the best shortcut for me overall here.
Barring that, could someone please recommend a guide to installing a lightweight, power-user-oriented ROM that is 4.x or older and has excellent battery life? I was going to try the official 4.4.4 VanirAOSP release but there are too many reports of poor battery performance in the last 2 pages of that thread for my liking.
I think the first thing I need to do is unlock the bootloader, and I've yet to find a definite answer on the best method of doing this from FOL1 (12/15). It seems I will need Odin on my PC and I have it. I've also started backing up all the data from my phone by manually copying/pasting to my PC.
I guess once everything is finally backed up (it's taking FOREVER, explorer literally been calculating time to copy for 10 minutes now just on the phone/android folder), then I will try and flash the official 4.4.2 VanirAOSP ROM since that one doesn't have any reports of battery issues and possibly only the camera and a few things won't work.
BTW, is there a step specially to unlock the FOL1 bootloader that I am missing, or can I just flash that ROM with Odin straight up? I found a comment stating NOT to flash 5.1.1 with Odin or I'd be stuck on Lollipop until some new bootloader-unlock method comes out. The 5.1.1 I'm running wasn't flashed with odin it was sent OTA and I've never rooted or had custom rom/bootloader, so I should be good on that I guess?
I am actually about to dive into this, if no one has any suggestions for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2752995 (don't bother, too many missing major features)
edit: I used this guide and it was quick and painless, highly recommend! http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...l/root-how-to-root-sm-g900t-firmware-t3358190
Unfortunately the "sick n twi5ted" rom that I chose to install (only because the 600+ Infinity ROM thread has broken DL links) is a buggy PoS on the g900t so I'm still looking for a decent rom.
Hello. this is my first thread any help is really appreciate it. am not advance phone user in anyway but i do have some understanding about work around and tweeking a bit.
my phone is the galaxy note 3 sprint version and still with sprint software version is (N900PVPUEOK2) model # is (SM-N900P) last night i installed the TWRP V. 3.1.0.0 bootloader (i think that's what it called) and from it i tried to install the Darkloard ROM this is it exactly the one i tried (DarkLord.Note7.Full.Port.V1.0.edit.Ufo71) it didn't work at all it was stuck at some point and the device restart so i change the TWRP to V. 2.8.5.0 and it did work Darklord installed perfectly then flashed the kernel (DarkLord-Kernel-Note7-hlte-eur-V1.0) the device worked with out netwrok signal and keep giving me the com.android.phone app not responding Erro message over and over i tried to fix and did all the process again and again still same exact problem then i flashed this fix (Updated_DarkLord_Note7_REPACKED) still same exact problem no signal tho the phone work perfectly but even when i go to network search no network appear... i even tried and flashed the Darklord same version i have (not sure if there is another) i flashed it from stock bootloader or the lollipop bootloader without the TWRP and again it did work but no signal. and same error message.
sorry TL,DR maybe but can someone please tell me if there is any version of the Darklord Or any Note 7 or Marshmallow ROM that can work on my Galaxy not 3 sprint without problem would really appreciate it...
when all didn't work i had to get the TWRP boot and flashed the Android 5.0 back to my phone and it work perfectly now. i still want the Not7 features tho if anyone can help.
cheers
Unfortunately, that happens on every s7/note 7 port due to the roms being meant for gsm. The workarounds are a pain and are hit or miss. One sprint user got this one working: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ormaaurora-t3540520/post71187917#post71187917
There's also this one in the sprint section: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...sprint-users-rejoice-darklord-modded-t3498912
I'm on a gsm service now and I love using any rom from the note 3 general section without issues.

thanks a lot for your answer and links. I actually ended up installing and flash the Araymod and it working great. very very minor bugs that come with kinda every update.

Hi, @yzar78 Exactly which Araymod did you flash? I have the same phone and service as you (Sprint Note 3) and I flashed the Phronesis v5.1 Note 7/S7 Edge rom and suffered the same problem. No network signal. Wifi worked great. Internet, bluetooth and all, just couldn't call or text. I'm a newbie, so any and all information is appreaciated.
Thanks again!

I'm Having the same issue.
does anyone know the service mode dialer codes?
The phone is currently set to gsm, but I'm hoping like in older roms we can switch it to lte/cdma
Okay so as title says i recently bought a LeEco Le Max 2 X829 from gearbest. I had a few questions and was hoping someone here could help =).
I have searched but didn't seem to find much to help me. Well first i was wondering if i should just leave it on the rom i receive from gearbest or is that a bad idea, Also was curious if the phone would work with h2o, It has all the bands but just wanting to get verification from someone else. Thanks.
Hello @AdcMainVayne,
As far I'm concerned this phone works in most European countries and the only band that does not work is LTE Band 20, but the rest should work just as expected. When it comes to the stock firmware available on the X829, I recommend you to install a custom rom like Cuoco92, because of that the stock rom on the X829 receives no updates and comes with a very outdated version of EUI. The link to the Fastboot package for Cuoco92 can be found here.
I would flash the latest Indian ROM after wiping everything since online Chinese retailers are known to add trojans/viruses/etc. Besides the X829 ROM is abandonware and won't get any updates ever.

Flashing the indian rom for this phone would kind of not be very worthwhile as it runs on an older version of EUI and as far as I'm concerned it also runs on an older security update, so flashing a CN-based ROM with gapps would be ideal in most cases,
Thanks for the replies, I guess Cuoco92 is the best custom rom to choose from in your opinion?

If you're looking for a rom that's stable and runs EUI, I would definitely recommend Cuoco92.

I would try official linage, Resurrection remix, MIUI rom. Once you get your bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed you can try any of them. I really hated eui stock rom. Also with h2o you might have to go to a store or call them to have them add your IMEI Sim slot for service.

Sound and camera issues on rr and linage. I mean everything works and buttery smooth. Antutu 150,000 score on rr. I'm on Miui8 7.4.2.4 now I really like how smooth it is. No sound issues. Pretty stable. Kind of similar to eui. It's a a port not official. Android 6. But really like it a. Lot. Kind of hard to get it working the first time. Small eui just lags to much for me.
Crazy fast LTE and I'm on metro pcs.
Hello dear Elephants, I'm really honoured to belong here because of my new Elephone S8. I really love the hardware but software is really buggy. So, referring to https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-s8/development/rom-elephone-s8-15-10-eragon-1-0-t3689359, is that a good idea to replace the firmware? If some of you is using this ROM, you can also provide me the pros and cons. Many thanks in advance!
If you're familiar with such things, going from stock to custom and back is pretty simple. Why not just give it a test drive?
I'm not so familiar. I've been flashing lots of ROMs in my lifetime but not into this particular device. Which method do I use to flash firmware?
Will I die, if I flash the Eragon ROM from Elephone's firmware update section?
If you're going to run a custom ROM, spending a couple of hours reading through the thread for that ROM might be worth your time, as it will contain the answers to many of your questions and possibly save you from some future troubles.
Thanks! Will do as you say.
I used eragon rom for a few months but the developer has withdrawn from the project and the latest version is not really stable. I had some network problems and some weeks ago I got problems with massive battery drain of about 15% per hour without any heavy usage. The only thing that helped was to go back to stock. Since then I'm on stock rom again and everything is fine now. I don't experience any major differences in performance.
Anyway I hope the developer will continue his work on the S8 and eragon rom in the future, at least if android 8 will be released.

You can download the latest stock version here:
https://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?m...ra=page=1&filter=typeid&typeid=151&typeid=151
Unpack the rar file and load the scatter file with flashtool. Be careful which boxes are checked in the list. I accidently deleted all data (including external memory) from the phone because this option was checked by default!
Edit: I have corrected the link above, the first one did not work.
You can also download on Mega with the following link:
