Hi All,
So after searching all the threads and forums I have created this thread to address this issue and to get possible solutions.
I have a Redmi Note 4 - Snapdragon/Qualcomm variant 4GB/64GB version.
Bootloader Status: Unlocked.
OS Version: MIUI 8, 7.4.20 Developer Version.
So sometime back I tried to upgrade to the latest Version of MIUI9 7.9.15. When the system got updated and rebooted my phone got softbricked. SS below. I was on one of the Custom ROMs AEX and tried updating the firmware of MIUI9 and faced the same issue. However am able to come out of the brick using MiFlash tool am still not sure what's causing the issue.
NOTE: Even after reverting back I see the weird lines on screen unless I flash the previous firmware version again.
Would appreciate your thoughts and inputs. Thanks!
Images: Adding Soon!

What about fastboot mode?
Have you tried a full wipe and fresh install of the developer ROM, if that's the one you want?

Did a full wipe and flashed Dev ROM latest build through MiFlash also the latest stable build causes the same issue. Not able to see anything the display gets messed up showing only some scramble red and black vertical lines.
Not able to attach the screens. Will do attach them as soon as am able to.

Everything goes Haywire, I would have to flash the old Dev build through MiFlasher again and flash the TWRP .IMG file through fastboot. It such a pain good thing I have my bootloader unlocked else would be lost.

Thanks for the suggestion but like I mentioned few posts earlier I did try flashing the Stable build fastboot version - v 8.5.4.0 and the same thing happened. So got me thinking issue seems not to be confined with MIUI9 but something which am not able to figure out.

firmware?
If the recovery does the same then its not the rom as this loads before the rom

Pretty sure firmware is closely associated to Bootloader, Boot and Recovery much more than the ROM itself. Then the Signal reception, radio and stuff. But I may be wrong.

DO NOT FLASH/INSTALL NEW MARSHMALLOW UPDATES BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DOWNGRADE TO 5.1.1 ANYMORE !!!
DO NOT UPDATE YOUR PHONE ON 5.1.1, NEITHER ON 6.0.1 THROUGH SOFTWARE UPDATE !!!

A warning to all ... samsung has come up with marshmallow bootloaders starting from baseband versions J1 (this is the last 2 values of baseband version) which will NOT allow u to downgrade ur bootloader...it will show an error like aboot.mdn fused ..which means u are stuck on marshmallow forever until a newer baseband is available...so be careful while upgrading to marshmallow from lollipop fellas :good:

Hi good people of XDA, i'm currently running a samsung j500h with a 6.0.1 update.
I really want to root it. I tried every possible way and followed every instruction on every sites that i went through (including here). But it doesn't seem to work on my phone. So i asked a developer form facebook and he suggested that i try downgrading to lollipop, from there root my phone and install a pre rooted 6.0.1 rom. But i cant do that as well.
Here are the errors that i'm getting:
CF-autoroot,twrp and su update flash: phone cant boot into recovery, it shows the samsung logo but with a black line that ramdomly pops on any part of the screen and slowly making it blur.
Cf auto root on the other hand, makes my phone stuck on the logo. it never boots now matter how long i wait.
Downgrading:
Error on phone says like these: aboot write fail: Fused 2>binary 1 (something like that)
it still boots and still on 6.0.1.
Does someone here has the same problem?

Unfortunately, i couldn't find any fix/tips about this after a Google search.
I'm not sure, but I think that if Samsung release new 5.1.1 updates, maybe it will have a new bootloader too and maybe then we can downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1.

Samsung has indeed become a huge crap. Android is an open source but these dudes always tend to make it a closed source. Really upset with this but we have no choice. Whether u update manually or via kies it will be the same.
And thanks henkate for making this thread. This will be proved useful to many. :good:
I got reply from moderator regarding sticky thread and he told me that sticky thread is not necessary because there are too low discussions on our J5 forum (it's not so popular) and that when our J5 forum will be more "developed"/popular, we could have a sticky thread which would contain all those important threads.
So, this thread will not be on top of this section ( Guides, News & Discussions) when there will be new threads or new posts in other threads.
thank u so much big bro

Even If u cant downgrade Bootloader, you can always just repack the system boot and recovery from 5.1.1 and flash and TADA you are back on Lollipop

I dont know if its easy like that since other people with other Samsung phone couldnt solve this.
Another guy got same problem with downgrading:

PS: Please dont quote the OP. Thank you!
I know that you have asked and been told no but we have got to keep this at the top of this thread.
This is so important for people to know.

Agreed. Quite often Samsungs bootloaders are backwards compatible with previous firmware.
Boot.img and system.img should be all that is required to downgrade and possibly NON-HLOS.BIN if there are wifi issues.
Not only that there's a possibility the bootloader doesn't need to be flashed and the MM rom will boot with the lollipop bootloader.
However there are no guarantees either way.

It's not fake. The two users who reported has J500H. The latest firmware changelist of J500H is not same as J500FN one (also I don't see a firmware with "J" at FN). Maybe the new update didn't come on J500FN yet.
Whether you believe it or not, it's up to you. Keep updating if you want, but then don't complain here that you can't downgrade.
You've been warned about this.
Thread cleaned up of all Off Topic Posts.
Also bump again and again is really not needed. Please don't do that again.
Can we please stay on topic?

Tested, works fine. Rom runs smoothly, rooted and debloated.
Battery life increased for a couple of offscreen hours.
Great update, the Phone seems to run even better then before, really impressed so far. Multi-Screen and Always-On are missing, tho, installing them manually won't work either. Guess it wasn't feasible with the A3s hardware limitations.
Yeah i think this german Nougat build is much better than marshmallow,very stable,better battery,fluid animations,very nice.. Tell me your opinions?

Extracted the zip, you get a tar.gz file ready to be flashed. I flashed with Odin, had no problems.
Hello and thanks for the ROM. I've ecountered a few issues:
1) MicroSD doesn't load when i turn off the phone, i have to remove it e put it back in again in order to be recognized
2) Apps like Colornote don't stay in memory when the phone is turned off and on again, so many notes saved on the status bar go missing and I have to open the app everytime
3) I can't delete bloatwares like Samsung apps and GApps. I use Link2SD to delete system app but doesn't work with this rom: when I restart the phone the apps are still there.
Hope someone helps me with this.

i messed up. im stuck on fastboot (bootloader) mode. everytime i choose recovery mode or start, it vibrates and restarts 4 or 5 times only upto the S logo, before going back to fastboot mode again.
"fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img" didnt work for me. it just starts my phone normally. so i tried "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img" and got error.
need help pls.
edit: im still reading the whole thread and learning of flashing my bs from skr-a0 to skr-h0. i hope ill succeed from the files and procedures im getting at this link: youtube.com/watch?v=ywC_9Hrpb_I
edit2: was successful in flashing to skr-h0 using flash_all.bat (not brick anymore yay! it gave me the chills really.) sending "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img" command also now loads me to twrp (thank heavens) but i need to system update OTA first before trying to root again. will update soon.
edit3: now enjoying root on android 8.1... found the hard way that twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img is not for android 9 and wont boot to twrp. probably flashed back to 8.1 for like 5 times more or less. hope maurino or someone else will make and release twrp-3.2.3-1-blackshark.img soon. thanks again for this wonderful thread.

Is pie version stable enough to use now? Im still on 8.1 because ppl said it was rebooting non stop and overheating.
Also is it possible to root android pie? Twrp working?

I haven't had any issues with the pie update. TWRP currently doesn't work, but the source files on GitHub have been updated I believe. TWRP needs to be available for rooting.

Has a locked/unlocked bootloader

Hi!
I've recently purchased an EU 8/128 device and installed the realme ui update from the india website.
Now the nfc and brightness sensor don't work.
I've seen other users withba similar problem, but it isn't clear to me what should I do now: can I go back to coloros 6? Can the bugs be solved in any other way? Should I take the phone back for a refund?
Thank you in advance to anyone willing to give an advice.
NFC versions upgrade to India version will cause some problems like you said, I don't know if you upgraded to c03 or c01. The NFC versions just upgrade to c01. You can take it back to the service center and ask for help or you must wait for NFC c03 c04 firmware.

Thank you. How do I check wether I have c03 or c01?
The nfc version would be the realme ui update for global phones? Are you sure I'll be able to install it after it comes out?
See "About phone" in the setup.
You must have the firmware dowloaded before you update and turn the phone to recovery mode to update (because I doubt your phone will get ota), or you can try recovery mode online update.

We are talking about an hypothetical nfc version of realme ui, right?
Where would I be able to download it?
Thank you again for all the help. I'm a bit worried that I rendered my newly bought phone kinda useless ?
The global version comes with NFC. But when
you updated to India Rom ,NFC is gone. If you can't change back to global version, you may take it back to service center, I am sure it won't cost you anything, at least in my country they won't charge.

I managed to solve the issue.
I read in another thread that realme ui for nfc devices was avaiable in russia via OTA. So I downloaded the update from the official russian website (https://www.realme.com/ru/support/software-update) and proceded to install via recovery mode.
Much to my delight, it worked wonderfully! The NFC bug is gone as well as all the other ones (auto brightness, system updater)
Thanks to donkeyman1234 for the support
I am glad it can be rolled back to c01 via recovery mode. Hope everyone with global version using India Rom c01~c03 can restore back to global realme ui c01.

Amazing news!!! I had the exact same problem with my Global version. I had version RMX1921EX_11_A.05 on my phone and installed the indian version of RMX1921EX_11_C.03 on top. It worked for the most part but full of the bugs already mentioned (battery drain, NFC stopped, auto brightness gone)
@LucaLKS was your model you got fixed an RMX1921EX or RMX1921EUEX?
@donkeyman1234 Do you think I will be able to do the same on my RMX1921EX and roll back from RMX1921EX_11_C.03 to a C.01 through stock recovery?
Cheers guys

There is an app called AIDA64 in google store which reads the system information. Could you please download and screenshot the system and android tabs? I will be able to compare our phones and see whether their are the same or not. Cheers

I think you should give it a try. Just download the firmware and boot into recovery mode. I hope you make it. (It won't hurt if you can't flash it)

Absolutely correct. Already downloading. My only concern is that my version was RMX1921EX and this one is RMX1921EUEX. Hopefully nothing will get bricked. I'm crossing my fingers for it to work :fingers-crossed:

If your phone comes with NFC then it is global (not India), that's why when you updated to India Rom, the NFC is gone.

I know for a fact that when I bought the phone, I bought the global version and had NFC on board but I'm really confused with Realme's naming and monikers. So let me get it clear.
RMX1921EX is the Indian version?!
RMX1921EUEX is the Global version?!
If that's correct, why did my phone had the version RMX1921EX_11_A.05? That means that RMX1921EX is assigned to both Indian and Global versions? that's what has me confused.

Hey guys,
So i was messing around with ROMS,
Like EVOx, EU roms and suddenly after flashing latest EU rom i lost L1 cert,
I tried flashing stock rom, PE, Evo, etc still no luck,
It seems i cant get my L1 cert again.
If you have any idea how to get it back please share.
I would really appreciate it.
Watching Netflix in 480p sucks.
from what I know L1 cert is unique for every phone. You must use the one who came with your phone. its in persist.img that I hope you backed up before flashing EU rom. If you don't, you'll have to get used to 480p. Sometimes some developer publish a fix for very specific devices, not our case tho.
Is there an app or something to check what L-status my mobile has?

Thanks for the link!
Have tested it, my mobile is on L1.
On my mobile there is the XIAOMI EU ROM.
So it seems it's not ROM related...? ?

i did not backed that up.
Need some other solution
How have you flashed the EU ROM?
With TWRP? Fastboot? Or with the inbuilt Updater?

TWRP, but the issue is that i cant even get L1 on Stock ROM now. :/
Well okay, have read a bit through the net.
Seems like the only way would be if you have a backup of the Persist Partition of exactly YOUR device.
Seems like you have overwritten this partition while flashing.
This information would have been good to know in ROM install guides before flashing >.>

I have seen other devices able to get back L1.
Does getting the device to mi service center will help?
I guess best way to get a 100% answer is to write a mail to the service center.
Or perhaps you could ask the people who were able to "repair" their phones and got L1 back ?

I am 100% sure service center people in my city will discard the request as i am pretty sure they don't care enough about it.
I wonder how i can contact someone who will be able to help me out.

Thanks for the info but i saw some posts and they all seems to point to mifash tool,
Which i already used to flash stock rom but no luck.
Should i try clean+lock?
I had read that if you loose L1 you can't fix it it unique for every phone. You should have done a backup in your persist partition before flashing and testing.
L1 is like the IMEI?

Actually even when not flashing, i myself lost l1 while locked bootloader. It happens after updating my phone to 11.0.8.0.
Many of my fellow countryment experienced also this. The weird thing is that there are some who does not experience this problem. There are others where widevine L1 is preserve on stock rom OTA update and there are some like me who lost it. This has been acknowledged by devs and Xiaomi mods. And still waiting for a fix. So for me i think it is not eu rom related

I lost it when I tried to update from 0.7 to 0.8 EU
Can you suggest a way to get it back sir?
That's really confusing.
I first updated my EEA Version with the inbuilt Updater to 11.0.3 and L1 was still present, and then after nearly 14 days I unlocked my bootloader and flashed the XIAOMI EU Custom ROM, version 11.0.9 and still got L1.
Is your mobile on Global ROM (with MI in the title) or on EEA (with EU in the title)?
It's strange cause I'm sure there are maaany users out there who have updated their device at least once, and the problem of the change from L1 to L3 seems not to be wide spreaded one, when reading through the different boards.
Most people are complaining about the wifi bug mainly... ?

What means when you TRIED to update?
Was your update successfull or any problems with it?
Well, some ideas of ways to get L1 back we're already given here, but seems like there is no "easy way" to do so...
