Fixing Data > WiFi transition and other radio problems

All credits of this solution go to user dcseek who brought us the solution for this incredible annoying bug on our phones. It's not a bug actually. I think we should blame ourselfs, because it went all wrong when flashing a baseband. Personally I think it goes wrong when flashing a baseband fails and you have to try it again (yup, smartflash) or when flashing a korean baseband.
I decided to make a thread in the Q&A section, BUT BE CAREFUL!!! this is serious business, but concerning how many noobs are facing this bug (like me), it's worth to fix it.
Before you continue, all data will be wiped! Make sure to backup anything you need!!! Including Internal SD!!!
I am NOT responsible for any damage you possible create. I don't think you can brick your phone because our phone seems to be unbrickable, but I do not want to be blamed for any damage. I just made a guide on which I spent some of my free time to make it easier. I saw a lot of questions regarding hyperterminal. All I can say is: it's quiet easy!
Q: What's the problem?
A: Data connection won't be established after let's say beïng 20 minutes or more on wifi. Airplane on/off or rebooting is the only way to fix... There are also other problems related tot this fix. No guarantee, but connection losses etc. can be fixed with this!
Q: What causes this problem?
Two possible reasons, both are beïng fixed with this procedure:
A1) imei is totally lost or reset to something like 356200000000000 Check your imei by calling *#06#
A2) Some old calibration data in the radio will cause an unknown network state, which is actually edge (the fastest GSM connection). Old radio calibration data needs to be cleared.
Q: Are there other concequences?
A1: Yes, edge won't work, so everytime edge is requested, you will get a signal drop. I'm not sure but it seems like signal loss is caused by this
A2: 3g battery drain! Radio is sending a lot of data to the provider, I logged it and I saw many old useless data passing.
How do you do it?
First you will need a stock based rom. I recommend Stefan's unbrick rom, because you can flash it over every setup. You don't have to think about what you have right now, wether you've ICS, GB, CM, Stock, it doesn't matter. It's also a very easy one-click installation.
Download here It's a customized stock rom with a lot of nice upgrades and features, but the most important thing for this tutorial is to have a rom which everyone can flash with a few clicks and also contains the hidden menu from LG.
How to install?
Unpack rom
- Unpack Stefan's 7z file with 7zip or your favourite unzipper.
- 7zip is free, click
Prepare Phone
-Power down phone
-Remove battery
-Hold VOL_DWN+VOL_UP & plug in USB connection from computer (note, your phone will not visibly respond but it will boot to APX mode quickly)
-Open Device Manager in Windows and you should see "APX Device" listed with an error, or not if you have used NVFlash before
-Right click on the APX device
-Select 'Update driver software'
-Select 'Browse my computer...'
-Select 'Let me pick...'
-Select 'Have disk'
-Browse to directory you extracted the *driver* software to above (It's included in Stefan's zip)
-Select 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices'
-Accept any warnings, including the big red alert (you may need to disable UAC)
-Now in Device Manager under 'USB Controllers' you should have an 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices'
If not, uninstall the driver, reboot, rinse and repeat
Install the rom:
- Go to the folder where you unpacked Stefans rom
- Run Windows installer and follow instructions on screen, should be peace of cake for everyone!
- DONE
Now you've got a stock rom, it's time to flash your favorite baseband. Thanks to TonyP, there is a special topic about basebands. Please do not discuss here which one to choose.
TonyP's baseband tread
Flash it like normal, except for checking Erase CAL data. This time you have to enable the checkbox:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you get an error near the end, please see TonyP's topic how to solve! Or try 10 times like me, then it works too.
Congratulations! If your imei wasn't lost yet, it is now Now we have to restore it.
Step one - download Hyperterminal:
Download free trial, works perfectly on win7 x64 and more: click
Step two - connect phone in the right way
Boot the stock rom, you can cancel setup wizzards if you want. It's not important. Go to phone and call 1809#*990# when you have an old stock rom and call 3845#*990# when you have an ICS stock rom. Thats the hidden menu. Go to port settings and select CP USB (which is Com Port USB). Just click OK without clicking the checkbox to set it on boot. Connect USB cable and wait for your PC to install the drivers.
If all goes well, go to device manager (right click computer > properties > device manager somewere over there)
Note that in my case, it's com6. In your case it could be different. Write down which com port says LGE mobile USB serial port.
Step three - configure the program:
It's easy. Start as admin. Just cancel all the phone and location setup's until you get a blank terminal screen.
Click cancel in this window:
Then click yes to continue cancelling in the popup. Then the following window will appear. Click cancel too:
Now you should see a blank window. Click in it somewhere. A new window appears where you can choose the right com port. Choose the right one, which we got from the previous step. Note that it's probably just 'com x' and NOT LGE xxx xxx (that one sounds more logic but that's another port).
Click properties and select the right options like these:
Click ok twice and you if you did it right, you see this window with the state 'connected' in the lower left corner:
Type 'AT' (without the quotes) and hit enter. Wait for response. If response is 'OK' then you did a good job! Continue to the next step. If you don't see OK try another com port until you see OK.
Now I don't have any screenshots left. But now it's peace of cake.
Type: at%imei [hit enter]
Result is your current imei. You can check it.
Now, you have to write your own imei back with the following command (imei is on a sticker under the battery):
Originally Posted by Raum1807
You should add that the IMEI number must be entered without dashes. It seems to be a common mistake.
For example if your IMEI on the sticker is 123456-78-901234-5 then the command must be at%imei=123456789012345
Just type that, like 'at%imei=123456789012345' (without quotes) and hit enter. You should get a message that your imei is written with succes. Close hyperterminal and reboot your phone.
Check your imei by calling *#06#
It should be the whole number without stripes and dashes.
After this procedure, just flash your own favourite rom back. You can do this as many times as you want. Don't be affraid to damage anything, allthough this procedure is at your own risk.

Gd job x_justin mate it will definitely benefit lots of ppl. Awesome!!:thumbup:

Tnx mate! If there are any things unclear, just tell me.

well done

thanks this seems to have done the trick, I thought it was an ics/jb on p990 problem

Aaaaaaand your thread has been added to my Baseband thread. :good:
I'm sure this will help some people to follow the procedure.
I'd love to see a couple logcat lines added which are typical for this problem.

Thanks, I updated the installation progress. Now Stefan's unbrick rom is recommended and installation instructions are included.
If someone plans to run this tutorial, please tell me if something is wrong with one of the steps.

Double post, never mind

ive often wondered about this you mentioned.
i have it go 3g for a split second then revert to H all the time. sometimes just unlocking my fone and watching it do it 3-4 times. with nothing active.. =/
hope this fix's my terrible battery life and radio drain.
thanks for your hard work.

I did this and it didn't work for my phone...
Every time it looses 3g it doesn't switch to edge, and if I ask it to go to edge it doesn't finds it. ..
I must reset my phone to get edge connection which I rarely lose...
Will my problem be related to something else?
I do have a p990 but done in Korea sold in Europe

it does say in the instructions you won't be able to get an edge connection after the fix. As the signal around here is always 3g or hspa it worked like a treat.

Re: Fixing Data > WiFi transition and other radio problems
Ok it is working now!!!!
I almost never loose signal and can paas from 3g to edge!!!
Basically I inactivated the 3g for 1 day and le my phone run on edge... then I turned on the 3g And magic!!!
Now my phone changes to edge automatically when I am in the metro, etc.
Mwahhahaha by the way I am on v30b for baseband and original Rom.
I also love my battery life

i cant write AT into hyperterminal - so i dont know what to do - i did every step carefully and everything worked fine until now... pls HELP

I think I bricked it - CWM unable to mount Ext SD & Data

First few things: I've searched already, can't find any similar threads that actually help. I have the international version. I was running the CM10.2 Rom prior to 'the accident'. I will put a bounty on this if I have to.
There's a bit of a story to this so I'll go over it all - not sure what's relevant.
I've been running out of storage for days, a 64GB SD card is in the mail. I currently have an 8GB one as well as the internal 16GB, both of which were near full, but the external one had relatively more than the internal one, so I decided to use foldermount and link2SD to move some space over. That all went fairly well.
This morning I got invited to the Aviate Beta launcher, which looked interesting. Tried to install, didn't have enough space. So I decided to make a backup of Nova, go into the play store, uninstall nova to free up space and then install Aviate without leaving the playstore. It worked, turns out I don't like Aviate much, so I worked backwards. Uninstalled Aviate, went to install Nova. Not enough space (idk how). Uh oh.
So I deleted some less-necessary apps that I could reinstall later. Not enough storage. Notification comes up in the bar along the lines of "storage critically low, device may malfunction". Now whenever I attempted to enter settings, the process crashed. Great. Simple fix, flash a NANDroid back-up in CWM. I can't remember what the message was, but there was something wrong with the back-up.
Wiped everything and tried to flash CM10.2 from the external SD Card but it wouldn't mount. Data also wouldn't mount. I tried several SD Cards ( ie about 10, different brands, sizes, classes, etc out of hope). So I decided I'll open up and Odin and just re-do everything per /showthread.php?t=2387980.
Turn the phone back on, stock Jelly Bean lockscreen was there, and once unlocked only the notification bar was there (no launcher). So I used different versions of Odin, different cables, downloaded the image several times, etc etc. Nothing fixed it. In fact, it's worse now. after booting past the Samsung logo, the screen just goes black now. smh
Can anyone help? It would be extremely appreciated. It's also a time sensitive issue as I need the device for work on Monday.
Sorry if I've missed anything. Yes I'm a noob, but you great people at XDA have helped a lot of people out before so I'm hoping you can help me.
Thanks!

Sorry to bump...
... getting pretty desperate. $50 for anyone who can provide information that leads to the fixing of the device by the end of the day (AEST). Paypal or bank transfer. PM me or post below.
EDIT: 101 views and no-one knows anything? If you know it's unrecoverable, please say so.

I'm going to assume you have the i9295, but have you tried Kies? I want aware that there was an Odin package for your phone.

Yes, the i9295 - the international version. The Odin md5 can be found on this thread: /showthread.php?t=2387980.
Sorry if this sounds rude (it's not, I just don't know how to use kies) but what's that supposed to do? I can't find a way for Kies to fix anything... I tried this thread: /showthread.php?t=1984717 but when I have to enter my phone model (GT-i9295) it says "Please check the model name and enter it" and closes the pop-up window within kies. Any more help?
Thanks for trying so far.

Sorry for bumping but i need this fix. $100 to the first person who can fix this by Monday.

I can't possibly believe that no-one knows how to fix this, or at least whether it's fixable or not. Is anyone willing to answer my question?

Check this threads or ask the guys who helped me there, they are Awesome
So after boot you get an totally black screen? Only theorigial Samsung boot logo before it turns dark?
I had this problem twice, but can you tell me if you start the phone after the dark screen do you have sound (like the phone still works, but only no screen) or nothing?
The first time i had sound, need to say that i never solved this problem, re-installed stock firmware, (recovery still works, you only need to know wat to puch) Unrooted my phone, and send it in for waranty, They send me a new phone, never know what was the problem, it can be o broken screen, but i never believed it totally... check this thread for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363185&page=9
The other time i had this i installed a other CWM Recovery Version, i had one installed, but some problems with it, installed an other version, after Reboot the Same Samsung Logo...Dark screen, installed this CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2464887&d=1387533161

[HOW TO] Fix GPS location/locking to satellites issue

Hi all !
Since a week, i had a GPS problem with my i9305, it happened after i had flashed couple of AOSP roms, i dont know after which one it was exactly, the problem was that it couldnt get a lock onto my location, also couldnt find any satellites in any GPS fix/testing apps avaialable in the playstore, it was showing the blinking GPS icon on the left side in the statusbar, but there was no lock, it was endlessly blinking/searching for nothing.. Ive switched many times between AOSP and Samsung based roms, but this was the first time i encountered this kind of problem, which took me a week to figure out how to fix it :silly:
I tried many possible solutions such as, full wiping the rom, factory resetting within the settings, flashing back to STOCK rom with Odin, tightening the screws in the back of the phone, resetting and updating AGPS, changing GPS related files and libs in the rom, trying different roms etc. etc. with all to no avail !!
Then i did some research on the net and found the solution that worked for me, surprisingly it did even fix GLONASS that wasnt working before the problem occured, now GPS works perfectly fine!
SOLUTION:
1. first we need to enter service mode, this may differ for various android versions (4.3 - 4.4.4 - 5.1.1 etc.) just search for the right method if it is different. I did this on my android 4.4.4 KK ported note4 rom (Eclipse ROM)
Note: be sure the rom your doing this on, has the ServiceModeApp(_RIL).apk installed in system/priv-app, otherwise you wont be able to get in service mode!
Note: also if you dont have a sim password set, your phone might get sim locked, so set a pin password before doing this, afterwards you can always disable it again if you want..
2. in dial pad enter *#0011# to get in service mode
3. to unlock the main menu: press menu --> press back --> press menu --> press key input --> enter Q0 --> press ok and wait for the main menu to appear
4. now, press UMTS --> press COMMON --> press NV REBUILD --> press Restore Back-up
5. your device should now be rebooting and after that GPS issue should be fixed hopefully test your GPS with any app from the playstore..
Steps 3 and 4 pictures:

Yep, same thing, different procedure :good:

I really appreciate you sharing the fix. I've spent the best part of today trying to find a solution to this, and have taken my S3 apart more than once.
I even think I tried this fix earlier on my non-stock ROM and it didn't work.
Worked for me on the stock 4.4.4 ROM for EE.

GPS problem fixed
Hey,
and thank you soooo much for your helping advice
I did like you said and voila, GPS problem is history.
But what problem I still have is that I can´t flash any 5.x.x custom ROMs. Flashing goes well, but when it is time to reboot, my i9305 stuck to somekind of loop. I can flash stock ROM 4.4.4 and custom ROMs 4.4.4 as well, but Lollipop doesn´t work.
First time I had this problem was when I flashed some 5.1 ROM ( I don´t remember what was it ) But in that ROM suddenly happen that "Google services has stopped" or something like that. I couldn´t do nothing with phone. That error came again and again to phone´s screen..
So I was in situation that I had to flash stock 4.4.4 stock ROM. eveything went well, but GPS didn´t work anymore. Then I found your advice and I thought that now I can again flash custom ROMs as well. Flashing any custom 5.x.x ROM goes well, but in reboot, pghone stuck to loop.
Or had I wait longer in first time I reboot phone after flash?
Thank you so much in advance

I don't know if it is related to your problem, but I had many problems with 5.X.X builds boot looping because of wrong gapps package. For example, using PA gapps with CM12.1 or Resurrection Remix causes a bootloop, but just flashing the rom and rebooting doesn't cause any bootloop at all. You might want to flash just the rom and let it boot. Cheers

Can you confirm that your IMEI is really f***ed by flashing this zip file in recovery? Always helped me to bring back my IMEI (uploading to Gdrive ATM)
Edit: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9NUrR6bPQUxT2R6cWNiNHBTdjg/view?usp=sharing here you go.

I fixed it by flashing an official stock rom but thanks any way

Thank god for this fix, had to do it manually coz flashing the zip in recovery didn't work out for me. Thanks!

Thanks so much! This worked for me on AMCHA Rom KK v6.10.
I had previously upgraded to a 5.x ROM and then downgraded and I think this is when the GPS had stopped working.
I ran through the provided steps and did not get a Sim Lock error after reboot either.
Legend!

To all using this method, if your device has been unlocked by someone,
THIS METHOD WILL RE-LOCK IT
Solutions:
You're probably on the knox bootloader, and to use the commands of that xda thread, you need a 4.1 rom.
But you can't flash a 4.1 rom because it will fail on the bootloader, so you need a 4.1 with 4.3 bootloader in ODIN format.
Here's one, fzeta is a forum member, all credits to him:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/9y2xo8a16w41eyr/Firmware_4.1.1_Modificado_for_fzeta.zip
Flash the rom, unlock the device with the known commands, and then re-flash philz recovery by known methods, and you're done.

*#0011# gets me into service mode but Q0 doesnt work for me on 4.4.4
any other codes?

thanks work for me

Manual Camera Compatibility
Does it fully support the Camera2 API for use with manual camera apps?

Give me an app that uses Camera2 API and I'll test it and let you know.
Also @bullet25 I can never sleep anyway so add me to this glorious list, if you'd be so kind

Oh, that's a shame. I was hoping it would support Camera2 being such a recently launched phone. Hopefully it would work with a simple build.prop edit like the Redmi Note 3 or the Moto X Style.

There's always other alternatives that use their own camera drivers rather than manufacturer-bundled ones. Open Camera for one is a very good app that does not depend on device bundled camera drivers. It is very feature-rich and can be a powerful camera app if used in the right hands. Open Camera might be able to do what you're looking to do:

Thought I would ask this in the right thread.
My Amazon subsidized R1 HD is rooted with systemless Xposed installed. I did take the OTA update last week. It had been working fine for two days. I powered the phone off and placed on the charger, at which point it keeps continuously attempting to boot, just flashing the White Blu screen every 4-5 seconds. No combination of button presses, or holding of power seems to be able to stop it, so can't power the phone down, or get into TWRP. Ideas? It does not have a SIM in it at the moment, or when this occurred if that might matter.
While I have rebooted the phone many times since rooting, this may have been the first time that I have completely powered it down since rooting and installing TWRP this weekend. I had not made any changes to anything for a day or so, and it had survived many reboots. The only thing I can think of is that I did freeze the Amazon Offers App in TiBu to see what would happen, however, not sure that is in anyway related since it is not even getting to a point in the startup where it would check.
Is there some kind of boot verification Power Up, that does not occur on reset, where the modified Boot image of SuperSU would be the issue?
The only response I can get from the phone is that if I hold Volume+ and Pwr, the phone takes a few more seconds between reboots.....

Is it booting into android at least? If it is you can try:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
then in twrp do a default wipe (data, cache, dalvik) then see if everything is fine afterwards.
If not, try just letting it do its thing until it dies then see if it acts normal.
Otherwise its probably a hardware issue and needs to be replaced.
I've shutdown and booted mine several times with the TWRP and Root installed so I don't think its that.

Thanks! Yeah, it is not booting anywhere other than the White Screen that say BLU, so I can't even get to adb or TWRP (If I could I could fix it). Letting it die is my only other thought....... I was using a Nexus charge block, and a 3rd party cable which has been sketchy in the past, so maybe related to that.
But as you say, it may be hardware related, as it does not even seem to be going far enough in boot process to load Fastboot, let alone OS.
I raised a replacement request with Amazon just in case.....

Question on Encryption.
I have root and TWRP working correctly. My work Outlook profile requires (and I want) device encryption. I select the option to encrypt, enter my pin, get the Android guy gear cut in half thing icon for about 30 seconds then just a black screen. I let it sit like this for over an hour and nothing changed, so I rebooted. Phone isn't encrypted. Tried it again and got the same result. Am I missing something obvious here? Can you not encrypt if you have unlocked or something? Thanks!

I know with other phones you can do encryption with an unlocked bootloader, I don't know about this one. Either something is wrong with the phone's encryption or I honestly don't know. I'll try encrypting mine when I get a chance.

@brockwitting Encryption seems to be working. You have to unroot first and have a pin/patteren/or password to unlock the device. After that go through the encrypt steps. My phone shows the Android cut in half logo for about 10 second then a black screen for about another 30. It then rebooted and was at just the wallpaper. I hard shutdown by holding the power button then rebooted again. After I got a pin unlock screen after inputting the pin I had to press the power button, this might be normal I've never actually used android encryption before, and the phone was working fine since.
Screenshot
You can reboot into recovery afterwards and reroot.

Sorry for the noobishness here, is there an easy way to temporarly Unroot without doing a full device restore to my pre-root state?

Open the SuperSU app, go to settings and there's an option for Full Unroot. Select that, reboot, then do the device encryption. After you verify its working okay reboot back into recovery and flash SuperSU again. TWRP will ask for your password, just enter your password/pin when it does.

So, just wanted to close the loop in the event anyone else runs into this. After 7 hours of rebooting every 3 seconds, the battery ran out. The phone then turned on just fine when I attempted to restart it.......... very odd, but all seems well.

Well spft is still an option. At the point of power off to power on there is a pause on Android that spft uses to inject a DA program of sorts (download assistant). So try to do a readback of the first like 5mb. The read back information dosent matter itbis the DA injection your looking for. If it works the on off cycle should stop. Then unplug and phone should be off

Thanks. global rom ??

this is the chinese version with no google play but fixed bugs and real benchmark scores close to the top , for me it was easy to remove the bloatwares and install playstore and my apps
i ve already put negative review on the aliexpress seller who provided a hybrid rom claiming this to be a global release....

Guide for Lenovo Z6 Pro CH/ENG ROM flash (BIG PERFORMANCE BOOST COMPARED TO GLOBAL RO
First of all, some info
Okay guys, I’ve been struggling with this a few hours myself. I am by no means a professional. I think it’s safe to say I’m an amateur who had messed around with Android phones in the past.
As all of you may have noticed; the graphical performance and actually the general performance of the global ROM is really horrible for the Lenovo Z6 Pro. I couldn’t live with the fact that my benchmarks sucked and I felt like my phone wasn’t providing its full potential. After opening an official Lenovo forum some amazing people from the community pointed me in the right direction. Thanks Chaina and PcM_2019 for your amazing input!
The reason for this bad performance has to do with the Global ROM itself. It’s simply poorly optimized right now and receives barely any updates. I expect that in the future it will receive updates accordingly but as of right now it’s better to move over to the Chinese / English ROM.
Keep in mind there will be some Chinese apps and no Google Play in this ROM. You can add Google Play and delete most of the apps in case you’d like it better that way.
Time for the tutorial
MAKE SURE TO BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA, THIS IS A TUTORIAL FOR FLASHING DIFFERENT FIRMWARE FOR YOUR DEVICE AND IT WILL RESULT IN LOSING ALL YOUR DATA. Backup all data you wish to keep. Of course I cannot be held responsible for the loss of your data.
You will need a windows computer and a USB-C data cable.
1) Get all the required software for flashing your device to the preferred ROM.
a. First of all, the ROM itself. Because URL’s are not allowed, look on mirrors.lolinet under firmware for Lenovo L78051. It’s about a 3GB file.
b. Secondly; Qualcomm HS-USB driver.exe Boycracked has in his portfolio a a link to the Qualcomm usb driver. Google for it.
c. Lastly; the Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFil)
i. Androidbrick lists the latest Qualcomm flasher qfil gpst 2.7.460. Download this one!
2) We start off with the ROM. It’s a ZIP file, get 7zip or other archiving software to extract it.
3) Install the HS-USB driver – keep pressing next, don’t change anything.
4) Exctract and Install QFil. After the installation you can find the program in start by searching for “QFil”.
5) Place the extracted ROM folder in the following installation path of QFil for avoiding potential issues in the flashing process. The path should be: C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QPST\bin. Just drop the entire folder in the bin.
6) You’re now ready for the real deal. Time to flash your device! Open QFil (search QFil in start) and follow these steps.
a. Open the configuration tab, click Firehose configuration and change device type from eMMC to UFS. Also “turn Reset After Download” on. Now press “OK”.
b. Now click “load content” Navigate to the path where you placed the new firmware, the path should be: C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QPST\bin\L78051_CN_SECURE_USER_Q00745.01_P_ZUI_11.0.483_ST_190511_qpst and open the XML document “contents”. After this the Programmer path should be automatically filled in.
c. Now open developer options on your phone and turn on USB debugging and OEM unlocking. Change default USB configuration to File Transfer.
d. After this you can turn off your phone. When the phone is turned down completely we will now boot it into flash mode. Hold down the two volume buttons together and plug-in your USB-C data cable which is connected to your PC. QFil should now recognize your device as a COM port. The port should be automatically selected. If that’s not the case, then select port manually. You can now press the blue “Download Content” button.
e. That’s it. Your phone should now be flashed with your selected firmware.
Troubleshooting
If you were to run into problems, don’t worry you can always boot your phone normally again by holding down the power button for 10 seconds after having entered the flash mode. No damage will be done.
If QFIL gives Sahara error, go to device manager and update your COMM port drivers. Let Windows select the correct drivers automatically. Enter flash mode again and try the procedure again.
If it turns out the Sahara error is not fixed after a few attempts you could save a lot of time by using another computer, install everything on there again by following this tutorial and try it again.
If something is unclear, or you keep running into problems, let me know and I’ll try to help you to the best of my ability.

Has anyone figured out, how to fix google assistant issue in chinese rom? (default assist app is switchnig to none after deepsleep or kill process button) Turning off battery optimization or giving more permissions for google home or google services did not help.

China Official

It is subject to actual usage. and The global version refers to language packs and channels. if i win i will take back 30usd as this amount i asked back open up all of you the same dispute , we must not tolerate this attitude and lies....

Hi all
Firstly thanks for your efforts above! Tut was good and info too.
Since upgrading I received 2x ZUI updates and am now on the newest version.
I'm having so many problems now, my phone is a borderline frisbee!
Managed to install Google apps via Aptoide easy enough and now have everything installed.
Problem I'm having is: when closing apps; they don't run in background which means, WhatsApp's emails, etc. don't come through unless you go into the app. Secondly the settings do not save, so as mentioned above, setting the assistant also changing keyboard etc.
Does anyone know a fix? Is it worth reverting back/updating to the newest global ROM?
Please help!
Thanks

No drain with zui i am looking for global rom "the fake one" as some people call him

Same, I went from global version 11.0.054 ST to the newest CN version 11.0.575 ST and am having so many issues:
No push notifications, unless apps left open
No location on most apps including Google maps
Battery drain
Settings do not save
On the up side, camera quality and performance is now what I paid for!
I'm hoping I can track down a global ROM newer than .054 but seems impossible at the moment..
