Any word on what the difference is between Taiwan firmware and any european country customization?
I doubt it's the usual case of essentially no difference, given the SGP311 has only a handful of generic firmwares compared to xperia devices with mobile radios. It's also the only non-europe firmware available (from what I've read Customized PH is grouped with europe in spite of the geography)

May I ask you how you rooted it? Which languages are available in this firmware?
Thx in advance!

I have SGP321purchased from India. Anyone has OTA URL?

I got the root guide from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...how-to-root-lollipop-xperia-tablet-z-t3115107
As for languages, all languages are available. When you first start the tablet, a first start guide will run. The first screen lets you select virtually any language. Once you select it, all future prompts will be in the language you selected. Hope this helps.

I uploaded a video of the Lollipop firmware on my Xperia Tablet Z (you can add this to your OP if you want @dogsly)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaQIGcX0sJI

Works great and the link to get root worked well on my 351 took all of about 10-15 minutes total :good:

I am getting random reboots in this rom and would like to go back to cm. However, since flashing this rom I cannot reboot to recovery. I've tried the hardware buttons, adb, and various applications and it always boots to system. I'd be grateful for some help.

Recovery not yet available in lollipop.

Unfortunately, by installing lollipop you loose recovery...so there's no easy way back
In a nutshell, you must go back to a kit-kat ROM, root it (e.g. install .283, then install .230 KERNEL ONLY and force towel root from flash tool. Then install 283 KERNEL back) and then install NUTs dual recovery.
More detailed instructions can be found here.

Thank you very much for your reply. I feel pretty stupid - I was very happy with CM and only wanted to try out the stock rom, never would've done so if I had realized it was not easy to go back.
Any ideas then about a possible resolution for the random reboots? Never happened on this tablet before, stock or CM. When I flashed this stock lollipop rom I did not do a full wipe, I did wipe the caches.
---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------
Well I've gone from bad to worse I used those instructions - I had used this process before to gain root - and got the the part in the procedure where flashtool reboots the device to flash 10.5.1.A.0.283.
Now the tablet cycles through the Sony Xperia screen over and over - it will not boot to system and will not go into flashmode. I can get into fastboot mode but I'm not sure what I can do to resolve this from there.
Again, any help is appreciated.
---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------
OK - looks like I got it - I simply flashed the twrp recovery image in fastboot mode and that did the trick - restoring my lovely cm 12 now.
All set - thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

How did you install it? Downloaded the zip file but not sure which tool I should use.
EDIT: Never mind. Flashtool has really come a long way. I used it to get the firmware and then install it. Can't ask for more than that.

has anyone tried using philz touch 6?

Hi, just wondering where did you get the twrp recovery image that you can flash in fastboot? Thanks in advance, I'm currently in bootloop as well

[SOLVED] Hot, hot, hot... too hot?

Regardless of the rom I try, the Mi Mix gets uncomfortably hot. The only versions that stay cool are MIUI 8 and MIUI 9, but everything else (Resurrection, Epic ACiP, AOSIP, Lineage) are usually running the CPU up to between 65° and 75° making the thing uncomfortable to hold. Not with gaming mind you, but simply browsing or switching the sucker on. Any ideas how to fix this behavior?
----------
Solution
I followed the advice of James1089
I wiped everything apart form storage, also the system.
I downloaded the firmware 8.1.4 from the address provided in the post below
I installed the firmware prior to installing the rom
... then the rom ...
... then Magisk...
...then opengapps.
Now the Mi Mix runs cooler. Still warmer than stock but I can't
fry eggs on the back any more. A shame, since they don't
stick to the ceramic back.
Thanks again.:good:

Are you flashing the relevant firmware when using custom ROMs with full wipe.

May be best to reapply thermol paste under the cpu

What about erasing from fastboot often cures many problems when coming from miui.

Firmware_7.9.21_Mi_Mix.zip
What is the appropriate Firmware?
At one point I installed Firmware_7.9.21_Mi_Mix.zip in combination with Resurrection Remix and I have not changed that since, regardless of the roms i have tested. Is there specific Firmware for each rom?

8.1.4 with all the latest roms
Try AICP latest build with that firmware, wipe system and both caches, reflash gapps and magisk. If it still runs hot wipe from fastboot before ripping phone apart.

Where can I find Firmware 8.1.4?
The Firmware_7.9.21_Mi_Mix.zip was part of the Resurrecgtion download list. Is there a Firmware_8.1.4_Mi_Mix.zip?

Hi again, in which order do I flash what?
1. I did a standard Wipe (Data / Cache / Davlink)
- is that correct.? I do not want to wipe my user data where all my roms and backups reside
2. Then I installed AICP
3. Then I flashed the firmware 8.1.4_Mi_Mix
4. Then I flasched Open Gapps
5. Then I flashed Magisk
Still 65° without doing anything...

You will have to wipe system as well, from advanced wipe,that will not delete data, that could well be the problem, first flash firmware then ROM and gapps. Last of all magisk, backups never perform well after restore in my opinion. They will remain intact regardless.

Well you're the only one, which ROM? Did you wipe system? Try latest AICP with the new firmware.

Started fresh again and it seems to be doing better but now viper4android doesn't work constantly, it keeps cutting off and on every few seconds.
Had to erase everything then flash 8.1.4 > AICP > gapps >
> restart > magisk > restart > viper > restart.
Now idling around 55-60c. Still higher than I'd like.
Gonna try the Psy kernel and see if using a different Governor helps.

That's to high, mine reading 37, maybe viper is an issue, although if you have recently installed a new ROM it's normal till it settles down.

Yea well viper is an older ROM so probably not good with 8.1.4 firmware, AICP has a weekly update and only works properly with 8.1.4. with the last 2 updates.

You might be right, it's idling around 45-55 range today after 1 day.
I don't think viper4android is causing it tho.
I'm thinking about dual booting with stock miui 9.

Oreo OTAs

Should I bother trying this? What's new? I'm on U firmware which I like but should I wipe to go to Oreo?

Anybody tried this?

Personally I think is not worth it. This is not final build and will delete data from your device. Then next one will show up in couple days or even (maybe) tomorrow. If I will you I will wait for around another 3-4 weeks to get more stable build.
Sent from my SM-N950U using XDA Premium HD app

I tried it -- the installation took about an hour in Recovery, mainly stayed in the "Patching system files". This install *WILL* wipe your phone (not your SD card though).
The build was super fast (even faster than a fresh Nougat flash).
There were two things that caused me to flash back to Nougat.
- The Wi-Fi was extremely weak. At my desk at work, I can normally see 6 Wi-Fi networks. 4 of them are in my office. With Oreo, I could only see two of them, and it struggled to stay connected to the one that I normally have full signal on.
- Also, my AT&T Gear S2 Classic could not be connected. Upon attempting to pair (after confirming the PIN on phone/watch) Samsung Gear gave a message stating that I need to ensure my phone was compatible and that I had the latest Samsung Gear app. I confirmed that there were no available updates for ANYTHING in the Play Store and Galaxy Apps. Both stores showed that my app was up to date.
If it weren't for those two issues, I'd still be on the Oreo build right now.
Another point -- I experienced my first freeze/reboot on this phone in Oreo. I've had the phone since June of last year and never had any freeze/reboot issues previously. Never dropped or gotten the phone wet, etc.
Hope this helps anyone who is wanting to flash the build!

You need to ODIN to 935A's latest build (BRA1) then you can upgrade to this Oreo build by flashing it in Recovery.

Thanks to @norbarb for that link. I downloaded it the other day. You will have to unRAR the files after you open the initial ZIP file -- otherwise ODIN won't find the files.

Without a PC, you cannot update to Oreo unless you're already on the AT&T G935A firmware.

As far as I can tell, there's not an OTA sideload update path to BRA1. Someone else may be able to chime in with it.
I assume you are not an AT&T customer, otherwise you could use the official OTA method to get to BRA1.

Thanks for the feeback, I tried this and I agree on weak Wifi on Oreo. I will keep and play with it for sometime before going back to Nougat. Hopefully new stable version shows up soon.

You are a lucky man because i'm flashing via adb and only 59 %. Which issue with a WiFi ? Can you please provide me more information and maybe do you know who will it fix ?

I face the same issues you have described. Originally after applying the Oreo update, I was not able to enable Bluetooth nor WiFi. I had to reboot to recovery and wipe cache.
Once that was done, I was able to get WiFi and Bluetooth to work.
I have the Galaxy Fit2 and was not able to sync watch to the phone with the same error you received. ( I tried the version 3..1.80.80109 of Samsung Accessory Service as suggested in another thread, no luck.)
WiFi as you described is pitiful, luckily I don't rely on WiFi as much so I will continue on with this Oreo build.

Does anyone know how to turn off the red heart rate sensor light off? It is accidentally turning on even if I dont get my finger on it after oreo update

Wifi issue meaning weak signals in Wifi connection on Oreo. I simply followed the steps in flashing through SD card and it took a while (40 mins or so) but eventually it went through the install.

Magisk and Mi9

I may even try just keep stock rom and root that, by attempting to modify the boot.img, as shown in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/magisk-twrp-device-encryption-t3733601/page1
Stock rom is fine for me for now and whilst I'd love to try out the EU rom, I will be happy enough to have my phone as it is now (firmware wise) but with root and all the joys that brings (app theming, ad blocking, viper4android etc).
Tuesday night I'll get to start playing around and attempting all of this. I'll definitely post a guide of whatever I'm successful with

I plan to unlock, then hopefully root so I can do a full back up, then flash a global rom on my chinese version phone. One thing I don't understand yet is do I need to install another recovery (twrp) or will the global version flash ok on the stock recovery? Thanks

If you just want to flash the global version use miflash. If you want to go xiaomi.eu you have to use TWRP.

I just flashed blobal version as I'm in Australia and all went well. Next step is to root. I can still install twrp right? Will this end up wiping my device if I do it now?

TWRP per se doesn't wipe anything but... Yes, if you didn't format yet the data partition do 'decrypt' it, you'll have to do it

Grazie amico. Sounds like I have to do it again. Didn't take long to restore from backup. Mi backup is actually very good.

With Unlocked bootloader magisk "works" but you can't update to magisk 18. It's broken for some reason. Only magisk 17 works.

Even the latest v19 works too

I have a problem. Yesterday in between transactions suddenly my Google pay card stopped working. When I tried to add it again - I got info about root or other modification to the system. SafetyNet check was pass! I installed magisk, and hidd Google pay. Still no go.
Can't add the card.
Any thoughts?

Sadly my Google pay stopped working. I made a transfer and I tried to make another one after 10 minutes only to be rejected. I tried adding the card again only to fail with info about phone modification... SafetyNet test passed ok! I tried installing magisk (19) and hid some things. But that didn't helped..
Can't add new card.

My tips: clear the data of Google pay/Google play services/nfc services, use magisk hide for Google play services, Google pay, reboot. Also ensure Secure Element Position is set to HCE Wallet.
Hope that works for you!

Help a new owner out with a couple of root questions

Hi! So a brand new MI 9 owner here wondering about a few things in regards to rooting the phone (without TWRP). My main concerns are, 1) is there still a waiting period to unlock the bootloader? 2) Does rooting cause some system apps to not work properly? For example in my previous phone the cost for rooting (or unlocking bootloader) was terrible camera quality.. And 3) can I still get regular system updates without having to manually flash a full rom?
Oh and a bonus question! Has anyone tried if there's any way to use Xperia keyboard on this phone? It's the only keyboard that hasn't made me want to go toss my phones in the river...

Not sure if there's any way to root mi9 without twrp, someone will hopefully correct if i'm wrong, but i've not heard of one - you need the advanced options twrp offers over stock recovery to flash magisk, but i may be wrong. Perhaps you may be able to extract ur boot img or something and inject magisk, so it's pre-rooted, but i don't know how to do that, sorry. Most peoples banking apps work in most places using magisk hide but i've read that some banks/regions require further work. Not heard of any reports of camera degradation tho.
Why don't you wanna flash twrp? Yes, there's a waiting period to unlock bl. Not sure about the keyboard, don't have it

Well this was at the top of the Mi 9 Guides, News & Discussion page here: [TUTO] Complete tutorial to root MI9 without TWRP (Keeps intact encryption of the MI9. Encryption is always good and I haven't needed TWRP much before so I figured that's the best option for me. Oh and no, there's no wait time anymore. Just downloaded the unlocker and it gave me the green light to go ahead. Bought the phone yesterday..

Ah OK, hadn't seen that thread. Good luck with it all. Download Mi unlock tool and it'll tell you how long to wait, maybe 720 hours.. There is a thread for instant unlock, but it's only worked on a few cases

You definitely want to flash Magisk via TWRP, because you will need a few modules there that really improve the phone, are absolute must haves.

Such as bump audio bitrate when recording up to 6ch, 960kbs; Youtube Vanced, Netflix (yes, if you root it, you will need magiskhide or no Netflix), liboemcrypto disabler; Cloudflare DNS; Viper4Android (this one quite optional, but makes such a difference).

I don't know what's your doubt, but mauronofrio's TWRP keeps the encryption per default.

Really? If the encryption is preserved with it, I don't see any reason not to go TWRP. Can't believe I've missed that, I try to do my research before posting Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, encryption is on, I've never had my phone with a decrypted ROM. Using mauronofrio's TWRP -35 currently.
