    Mi A3 hard bricked ¡HELP!

    First, make sure that you have adb and the usb drivers for your phone installed. You need the fastboot stock rom for the A3 - I found a copy for you: https://xiaomifirmware.com/download/13640/ 1. Enter Fastboot or EDL mode, connect to computer and disconnect any external peripherals that...

    Mi 8 Bricked from nowhere

    As I mentioned on XDA: You phone thinks that it is a different device, because you apparently flashed the wrong rom by accident. probably a mi8lite? Anyway, the good news is that after reading the flashall.bat file again, I tested removing a couple of lines that identifies the device before...

    Mi 8 Bricked from nowhere

    @Zirocks Wait you are the same guy. Did you read my post? You logs indicate a usb issue, you need a usb hub ( combined with the steps that I listed) and then you will be back up and running. lots of people ( Including myself) have had this exact issue and that solves it.

    MIUI 12.0 20.4.30 - First MIUI 12

    This happens anytime that you install any rom. Si it's obviously the amount of time and battery power that it took setting up your phone. Delete battery stats.bin to remove it or just wait a day or two for the battery stats to be accurate. battery life will get better as the built in AI works...

    Miui 12( beta)

    Magisk 20.4 if you are using a SAR recovery ( Many recoveries made for Android 10 are SAR ) You should use the patchboot method, which uses magisk manager to the system binaries and root to the boot.img ( which you extract from the rom) then flash the Patched Boot.Img to the boot...

    Okay you do not have a PC but you do indeed have a Mac, correct? The most difficult hurdle is getting your bootloader unlocked and after you have unlocked the bootloader the rest is straight forward. You do have the option of making your mac dual bootable, so that it can boot to Windows or to...

    MIUI 11.2 20.3.19

    Yes, after a day of use I agree. However, on the Mi8 the screen size was wrong, so the build prop change that i suggested is still useful for returning to screen settings and DPI to what it should be.I also agree with you regarding the permissions app. it's definitely more of a hassle than...

    MIUI 11.2 20.3.19

    For the people experiencing display issues: Aka ( blue monster) the solution is to use build prop and change the display size to the correct settings for your device. This seems to be a simple oversight, and the settings for a different ( test) device possibly the Mi10 was accidentally...
