original Mi Box S (MDZ 22 AB) Oreo 8.1 firmware? - Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers

can anyone provide a link for 8.1 ? for people who want to down grade from Pie 9?

I do not encourage you try to downgrade from Pie to Oreo.
If you are having difficulties with the upgrade, the most effective interim solution is to perform a full system reset initiated from the Settings menu.
For those adventurous souls.............
Here's the official link for build 699 Oreo 8.1, which is the original rom shipped at intro.
https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../cf1bcb02c65dae169a2313ef62d9d0c63a91588d.zip
CAUTION: You cannot downgrade from any version of Pie without some complex manipulations of your firmware.
I will avoid linking to these instructions for the following reasons:
One necessary step involves opening your MiBox's case.
Careless users can inadvertently destroy DRM critical partitions, with ZERO chance to recover. This can impact your ability to use Netflix and other commercially licensed streaming services.

bigtalker,
thanks so much. fortunately (or unfortunately) i "am" an adventurous soul and i know of those links you speak of about changing back and forth between 8.1 and 9.0. and i am doing so seamlessly. this is not the problem.
the reason why i ask in this thread for the "original stock" 8.1 firmware is because of varying file sizes of such 8.1 DL's that i have taken from the Net...i dont know which one is original. yours is the smallest 8.1 file size so i suspect it is true. the others are larger which is dubious. that said, all of them boot up successfully (the 8.1's including yours and the 9.0) HOWEVER it appears i have ANOTHER separate problem (?) with my remote. which i would like your feedback on if possible on the thread below.....thanks much!

After upgraded to Android 9 last week, my Mi Box 3 can only output 5.1 surround sound channels instead of 7.1 which I have been enjoying on previous version Android 8.1. Any suggestion fix this issue so that 7.1 is working again? Else I may have to revert to 8.1 via the posted complicated steps.

Huawei device "ptrace" implementation issue

Being a no good dirty cheater, I'm a big fan of Game Guardian and I use it with great success on my HTC U11 phone. I recently discovered that it can be used without root, by using a virtualization environment such as Parallel Space or VirtualXposed. As I haven't rooted my M5 (SHT-09), I downloaded Parallel Space and GG and got it all running. However, I've found that I cannot make any edits to game memory space from within GG.
The are a number of posts on the GG forum suggesting that there is a bug (or security feature) in many Huawei device cores / firmware that relates to the implementation of the ptrace system function call. Something in the firmware seems to prevent the GG process from modifying the child process memory space using PTRACE_POKETEXT or PTRACE_POKEDATA.
The suggestion of the developer of GG is to "change the firmware so that there the ptrace system call works normally".
Anyone aware of this "feature" of Huawei device firmwares? Is there / could there be a solution to modify the firmware to "fix" this behaviour?
I saw you posted on my thread. Thanks for that. I wanted to see whether flashing a different kernel like Serenity would help. But i doubt it. Might be worth a try. Would have loved to know that beforehand. :/ Any other ideas? What I am seeing is that it needs a competent developer to recode the Kernel. I would then flash that patch. Other than that it is defined as unfixable. That we'd have to change the device. :/
It's the main reason that I haven't rooted / unlocked the bootloader, as running GG is pretty much all I use root for on other devicxes. And the fact that rooting / boot unlock kills Widevine level 1 support, which is madness on a 2k device like the M5. Wouldn't want Netflix streaming SD content only.
From what I understand, which isn't much, the issue is buried deep down in the kernel. Not sure if a custom kernel would solve the problem or not. Knowing XDA, I'm sure someone will be crazy enough to try it at some point in the future!

Yeah I get that, but some games dont have a cloud feature. Making parallel space useless. Plus I appreciate some other root features. I have a note 8 which should work GG without root, but I'll see how it goes. Oh really, I'm a big time stream fan. I havent tried Netflix with root yet . Should still work tho. I think. Hmm well, problem is all kernels are made for devices like the mate 10 or the P20. Not sure if they will work with the M5, wouldn't want to brick after all the trouble. [Edit, found the nextflix module apk. Can flash that with Magisk. Makes it work again ]

Alright guys, I found this out today (I'm also Kr1msonReaper on GG forums);
Huawei kernel prevents GG from working in Android Oreo HOWEVER-- If you downgrade to Android Nougat, I find that it works perfectly. Hope this helps!
Just a note, when you are, of course, debloating Nougat, make sure to disable Huawei system update app so you don't find yourself in Oreo the next day.

How do you downgrade to nougat? Any reason not to do it? And will I retain root ?
I actually like Nougat more than Oreo as it fixes issues such as the ptrace error and seems to have more battery optimization. It's been a long time since I downgraded to Nougat and since then I got a new phone but here's the tutorial I followed. @mrmazak has helped me out of se sticky situations and his tutorials have never failed me. https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/guide-honor-7x-flash-oreo-update-t3781649/amp/
I believe you will lose root but you can easily flash magisk again after installing the downgrade package.
Hope this helped!

I am not sure this would work on the Huawei mediapad m5 tablet. As far as I can tell it never had a nougat firmware to rollback too. I looked for sht-w09 and the all the files appear to be for Android 8 and none for 7 nougat. Unless I am missing something??
Other than they locked out ptrace stuff and that it appears unlikely to get Android 9 in the US for my mode l its a pretty good tablet. Maybe I should just sell it and move on to a tab s6 that can be rooted.

Hey! You're right I couldn't seem to find a nougat downgrade. On the bright side, I did find a Pie update for your model. Who knows, maybe ptrace will be fixed in that version?

Upgrading to a 9.0 GSI Treble "A/B" partition style device?

Hi everyone!
I've bought a Mi Pad 4 LTE from Aliexpress and haven't already received it. (Specs says Oreo is installed).
I've read FAQs about Treble and still have questions :
1) From my understanding, I will receive a "A" partition style device, correct ?
2) When I get it, if I connect it to my WIFI Lan and update it to the latest online MIUI, will I be able to choose to upgrade to an "AB" partition style device (or not) ?
(FAQ says "For devices upgrading to Android 9, "system-as-root" is not mandatory"... )
Upgrading it to "AB" seems to be better as it supports seamless OTA updates & "A" is now considered as "old/legacy", isn't it?
3) Is it better to install a compatible ROM from "xda-developers / Project Treble / Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS"
examples: [9.0][GSI][Treble][ARM64/ARM][A/AB][Official]OctopusOS[20/11/2018]
[9.0][GSI][Treble][Enforcing][VoLTE][Official]HavocOS V2.0 [27/10/2018]
** OR **
a ROM from "xda-developers / Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 / Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development"
examples: [ROM][9.x][UNOFFICIAL] CarbonROM | cr-7.0 [clover /MI PAD 4]
[ROM][9.x][UNOFFICIAL] Havoc OS v2.0 | [clover /MI PAD 4]
4) What are the rooting possibilities apart from Magisk? Can I trust Magisk?
My criteria:
Low draining batteries, GPS, BT output, phone, LTE/4G, sms, dark theme, 802.11ac simultaneous dual band 2.4/5GHz wifi, no bloatware or google spyware stuff, unlocked/rooted, open source ROM.
Any recommendation is welcome!
Thanks & Merry XMAS!
Ad. 1. You are correct.
Ad. 2. The device ia A style or A/B style. You will have to modify vendor, boot and add additional partition for B.
Ad. 3. Do you ask about... What is better ported rom or rom created for device? I suggest to pay attention to the no-gsi aicp mordiford. It is rom created in Japan by mi pad 4 owner for mi pad 4. Ported roms creates devs not owning pad 4.
Ad. 4.? I do not know. Do you know, your tablet has 20+ partitions. If you install custom rom you will have many apk from xiaomi on the not touched partitions. We have to trust the aps will not work and will not spy us. The magisk is 1000% more trustable.

1) What do you mean by "B"? (In the FAQ, they only talk about "A only" or AB). Is "B only" another type or it's just short for AB?
2) Do you think it's worth changing from A to B/AB?
3) Is there a procedure somewhere that I can follow "to modify vendor, boot and add additional partition for B"?
(since I assume that the MIUI online update from Oreo to Pie won't change my device from A to AB...)

Not really, I guess that this rom is "created for device"? : [ROM][9.x][UNOFFICIAL] CarbonROM | cr-7.0 [clover /MI PAD 4]
I've just read that "Porting" means shifting & modifying another android phones OS (Operating System/ User Interface) to your own phone.
For the moment, I don't see the point in choosing a ported rom.
I'm just looking for the most up to date vanilla pie ROM with maximum hardware compatibility inside a Generic System Image (no apk bloatware)
This rom isn't a "ported rom", is it? [9.0][GSI][Treble][ARM64/ARM][A/AB][Official]OctopusOS[20/11/2018]

Take Care
A/B has sense of 2 partitions for the same. You can fail during flashing A but you will have all time working B.
You have no option to change if you have A only device.
You have rom for device X but you want it for Y. You compile it and run on Y. Many things does not work. You fix it. If you have Y, you do it good if you do not have, your fixes will be blind, only with info abot results from forum.
The other way is if you own Y and want to prepare rom for your own use.
Ported rom brings only /system. Aicp comes with kernel. It will not replace all partitions, no chance. Especial vendor for treble is xiaomi's interes. We will have always some partitions not touched with xiaomi's content.
Sorry but this time, your explanations are not clear.
Anyone else is welcome to take part in this discussion.

From my limited understanding, if a device is A only, it cannot be "upgraded" to an A/B device, since the partition scheme is completely different. Since the Mi Pad 4 is an A device, that's what we have and that's it. That's still not the end of the world, since we can take advantage of GSI's.
The other point I think he was trying to make was that it is usually better to use ROM's that were created by someone that actualy owns the device, since they have more motivation to try to fix the smaller things, compared to someone who ports to a device they don't own. GSI's are an example of this, and although they seem to work pretty well, they are still not perfect. The best way it to test and see for your self! Happy flashing!

No, you can force AB partition scheme by flashing MakeMeSAR.zip. Just do a Google search on MakeMeSAR.zip.

How can I downgrade my Android 8.0 to 7.0? (Mate 10 lite)

Hey,
Altough I bet there are hunderds of threads like this, I decided to create another one
So because I have my mate 10 lite around 2 years (a bit less), I would like to get an upgrade. Sadly I won't get Android Pie officially, so I'd like to install a custom ROM.
To do that I need an unlocked bootloader which dc-unlocker is only able to do below Android 8.0.
So I would have to downgrade my Android 8.0 (Btw, EMUI is also 8.0) to Nougat 7.0.
The method through HiSuite didn't worked since it just says "Newest Developer Version installed", but nothing with "Switch to other versions".
Also through Firmeware Finder (Playstore App) it doesn't show me the option "In-App Proxy", so I guess it doesn't work either with that.
Is there another way to do, if so I would really appreciate any help
Thanks in advance
My Mate 8 also keeps on Android 8.0, without any update to Android Pie officially.
If the official utility, HiSuite, which is developed by Huawei doesn't work, we maybe have no way to downgrade the system software on Mate 10 or Mate 8.

It all depends on your current build version. If I remember correctly the ability to use DC was patched in most custs in May or June. So if your security date is prior to May you can still use DC. If not you're out of luck. You can use testpoint to flash board software and then get unlock code through there, but it requires you to remove the back of your phone which will break IP rating and void warranty (If it's still under warranty)

[Curtana] Does flashing a custom ROM compel disabling force encryption?

First of all, I'm really sorry if this thread would turn out to be a dumb enquiry. I am new to intrinsically customising my phone and only have been using this device (Redmi Note 9S EEA Curtana, MIUI Global V11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM 4/64 GB) for 10 days. I've successfully installed root and TWRP on my phone after having thoroughly researched relevant information. The only thing is all my efforts regarding the removal of force encryption have so far failed. I'm inclined to install a custom ROM, e. g. LineageOs or Evolution X.
1. Is it a necessity to have encryption permanently disabled so that the flashing process proves viable? Currently, I'm only aware of a method which has its effect limited to the the period the phone is in recovery. It involves formatting data and then installing Magisk and thus I need to go through the set-up again. At the end of the operation, encryption is enabled again. I have no clue why. I've tested loads of no verity opt files, none of them worked in a proper way either.
2.Will installing a custom ROM eliminate root acces (since it performs a reinstallation targeting the entire system, let alone the patched boot image)?
3. In case something goes wrong, what's the correct procedure to return to the factory ROM? Is re-locking the bootloader a prerequisite? (See this guide https://c.mi.com/uk/miuidownload/detail?guide=2, for example. Notice how each of the stable MIUI releases there are marked with ★ next to them, meaning they're locked. I didn't quite grasp the message they were trying to convey with that explanation though.)
I'm conscious that's a lot to ask in a single thread, however, unlike myself, the majority of users here are supposedly tech enthusiast and probably have encountered similar difficulties on several occasions.
I hope that I've provided enough information and the thread has been named reasonably.
(Priority: detailed answers within a month would be great.)
Cheers,
Hsjaai
Just format data: twrp->wipe->format data write yes->reboot twrp and flash rom.
If you got error(red lignes reboot twrp and format again).
or
delete all your lockscreen security before flashing but to install a new rom you must format the data before.
Thanks for your quick response, honestly I didn't expect anyone to be this early to react.
As I've already mentioned, in TWRP there's a workaround for temporarily disabling encryption using the first method, the latter one doesn't seem to function as intended - that may be the case on newer devices, according to an article I've come across.
One last request. Could you please (briefly) answer my two other questions as well? How do I reinstall MIUI if something breaks down? Is the flashing apparatus provided by Xiaomi reliable?
I'll keep you updated on my progress,

With Magisk app
I'm still unsure about something. Will the custom ROM be installed without hassle if I unroot Magisk at the beginning (meanwhile leaving the custom recovery intact, of course)? No guide seems to deem having root installed as a prerequisite. If you answer that, I'm really embarking on the flashing process.

Installing a custom rom (aosp or Miui) requires a data format (erases all data and creates a new partitions if necessary) which will remove root anyway, but sometimes root + twrp creates problems (can't mout the partitions) it is therefore to avoid this that I recommend you to unroot before.
In all cases (Aosp or custom Miui) magisk is installed last.
Which ROM do you want to install?
I'd like to install LineageOS first and see how compatible it is.

Hello guys ! For some days or weeks, I see a new codename : Miatoll. I looked and search but I don't find what device is it. Can you helo me ? I wonder if I can flash my phone with a Miatoll Rom
forum.xda-developers.com
Miatoll ROMs are supposed to be compatible with Curtana if I haven't got something wrong... What's the deal with that?
I may consider flashing CherishOS instead, seems neat and the monthly updates appeal to me.

Don't flash magisk right away, check if the playstore is certified.
If not delele your google account and root with the Magisk app.
Of course, if you absolutely want to root your device for other reasons, ignore that.
***certified on redmi note 7
The installation of these should only differ (on a particular device) in the ROM that's being flashed az a zip, right?
For instance, see this guide. Could that be deemed to be applicable to any custom ROM?

Install the right TWRP
Be sure you have the right firmware.
If not flash it.
1)Twrp wipe format data write yes reboot twrp(if error reboot twrp and format again).
2)flash rom
3)reboot system
v11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM is a turkish rom(android 10)
V12.0.2.0.RJWMIXM is a global rom(android 11)Firmware base for AOSP
It is better to use Miflash and install TWrp after.(dont relock the bootloader).
Are you sure v11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM is the Turkish version? I thought it was EEA (the one tweaked for European countries). Installing the Global version seems alright, but why does the MIUI version has such a great effect on the outcome of the flashing?
Is that because both Cherish OS and the Global version are AOSP-based?

Question Its possible install native gms on huawei p50 series european version? (p50 pocket)

Hi, I'm looking for a way to install gms on huawei p50 series European version, especially p50 pocket. I tried several methods, but all require or a downgrade, quindo you must necessarily own a p40 series or in any case in previous model that has come out of the factory with previous versions of emui, or a Chinese version of the device with harmony OS installed is required or finally to convert your device to a Chinese version, but for this procedure a downgrade to emui 11 or 10 is still required, which as mentioned before is impossible for the p50 series. Obviously huawei does not provide codes for unlocking the bootloader, so I am looking for an alternative way. As soon as a method for installation is found, it will be posted here. If you have medotes kindly post them
As far as I know P50 x started with EMUI 12. That's why you will not find a ROM to downgrade.
It seems that there is a custom ROM out for the pro but not for the pocket.
I just made another thread in this subforum to ask if someone can confirm that P50 harmony OS checks the phone model and refuses to run on the global version. Otherwise looking for HarmonyOS stock ROM and installation via TWRP could be an option.

The basic problem is that huawei does not allow unlocking the bootloader, not providing more codes since 2018. If you know alternative methods to unlock the bootloader, then install twrp and flash rom, you could write them here and I will be happy to try them
I state that I'm looking for solutions for native installation of gms, so 'gspace' or other emulation apps will not be good

How can I convert my p50 pocket eu to Chinese version? I tried several methods but with poor results
I think it's not possible for P50x.
It appears that in opposite to P40x they check now the smartphone model so that China ROM won't be available to install for an EU modell.

Yes, I knew. To convert the smartphone to Chinese version you need to downgrade to emui 10, which however you can not run on p50x as their factory os is emui 12.
That's why I opened this discussion to search or work on medotes for the native installer of gms on p50x eu.
Thank you for your reply.
