Bought a P880, what now???

Just bought a 4X HD and its looking nice
Not keen on LG's overlay though but maybe it will grow on me.
Anyway it is a UK model (Unlocked, No Operator etc)
Already Upgraded to 4.1.2, software version is P880020a-234-000
Bit confused on if I can root, flash a rom etc.
Please advise

ya. It is said jb is rootable. But as for 234-000 you are unlucky.
Root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688
you can try og lockscreen too.

Ok thanks I am now rooted
Can I not Unlock bootloader/install custom recovery etc?
Or change to EUR rom and do it??
Thanks again!!!!

now is unlocking useless for normal users ...because no custom roms / custom kernels .

LG released the soucecode this morning. So now its only a bit of waiting before the first custom roms will be released.

So I can unlock using LG official and put CWM on now or not?
Sorry about all the Q's , EVERYother phone I have bought has had a great modding community with guides everywhere so this is a bit unusual to me

Not until you unlock your bootloader which, until they find a way to do it, can't be done in the 234-000 version.
Also, there are guides in this community, you just have to look for them (e.g. in the General Forum or the Development one). There you could have found answers for your doubts, as well as other people trying to get around the bootloader issue (there's even a thread dedicated to 234-000 users, and another for 262-000 owners).

Now we just wait my friend!

Well going by the fact that you have 234-000 You might not be able to unlock your boot loader as of yet.
There are 2 users that i know of from the UK that have unlocked their boot loader. I have tried and and tried again.
LG's Open source team have told me and a few other forum members that 234-000 and 262-000 are both unlockable.
The best bet is to wait for AGBRBK V20A... Which is the UK build of 20A.
Its just a waiting game. :good:

thank you, but my phone was bricked but i fixed it thanks again

How did you fix it and which version ur running...plz I need help

I just got my phone, a VKY-L09 and its running B195 ...
I only seem to see B123 to latest B160 in stock firmware available.
I even tried using the aforementioned firmware finder.
Further, it seems that most of the roms (custom or otherwise) are biased on firmware many versions older.
I really want to root my phone but without a stock solution to flash I'm reluctant to do so.
Anyone have B195 stock or know where to find it?

It's because we're using the Canadian ( and probably be American) variant. Our build number is higher, but European builds are better. Try anything that's L09 B160, battery should improve

I highly recommend the Genesis ROM by @Blackball , it's really great.
It's what I'm using for now until I can get a working AOSP build created. Hopefully soon, I've been making progress

It seems I screwed up my data partition in my system and cant get the phone to make calls or the camera to work. Not even my backups get things working again.
Was thinking that If I need to flash stock or redo my phone fm scratch, may as well flash Genesis.
Can I just format data, wipe everything and flash the rom even on 192 base?
Or do I have to de-brand and install the 160 base to flash Genesis rom?

Question about remove brand

Hi all,
First, thanks for the usefull information i found here.
I have a Pra-lx1 with brand, and till now there are no sign of update since initial release.
Is possible to debrand this device?
At the moment i don't care about root, so a stock c432 is what i seek.
Many thanks

Any chance you own TIM Italy branded one, cause i am still waiting for the first update?

For unbranded also, just have your regional SIM card inserted and you should get the update.
EDIT: If you use TIM branded one in Belgrade you will need SIM from that region to receive OTA.

PEAMIHG ROM - what is it?

Hi,
I recently bought a Mi 8, 64 GB from a local retailer.
When MIUI 11 came out, I started looking for ways to install it - when I came to a thread suggesting to download an official global ROM, Iv'e done it.
But, I ended up with seeing an error message suggests that I can't install it since it's not compatible with the 'vendor'.
Pocking and digging around the web didn't produce any useful information..
Can I get your help with figuring out what's the origin of it?
I'd like to take it to the retailer - but I need more information that will come handy when I'm filling my complain.
Cheers,

Did you unlocked the bootloader?
Did you downloaded the right rom?
I also have a mi8, 6gb ram, 64gb ROM.
The codename is dipper.
Go to Xiaomi.eu website, and download the right rom and try again

Isn't that an H3G phone? I think you got a phone branded H3G or whatever it's called in your country, that's why you got the vendor message error, I guess..
Don't ask me how to fix it or further details because I can't help you more than this, but if you want to, unlock the bootloader and flash the global rom. Be aware of what you're doing if you want to take it back to the retailer.

I don't think so.. I mean, I'm not saying you did buy it, but the retailer may have sold you one of those..
Look at the name of the ROM, P stands for Android version, EA stands for dipper, MI is the region of the ROM and then..... HG, why not XM? I don't know what XM means, but I think that HG stands for H3G. You can also find ROMs ending with VF, why? Vodafone..

I woyld suggest you to try to authenticate it .

You need to open the phone and follow the instructions to setup your Mi Cloud account, setup Google and use the phone. The Miui 11 update will show up via the updater. At the time the most current global stable build remains on Android 9.
After using the phone for 360 Hours or two weeks, you can unlock the bootloader. From there install whatever you want.
Personally, I recommend the custom Xiaomi.EU rom which is also Miui 11 but based on the Android 10 Chinese beta. But of course all Chinese is removed and Google services are installed. I feel that this is best version of Miui yet.
Edit: I had never heard of the exact that you are using in HG. For this device have a specialized carrier version of Miui?
If so you will need to check with the carrier to if it is possible to unlock the bootloader. I have heard of similar cases with people who own the MiMix3 5G phones.

Thanks for all the answers.

I don't really know to whom it belongs.. I'm trying to figure out this magic. I myself think that it's H3S device.
@MirceaViP
Salut. I did try it out. it ended up stating it's official international version.
@tsongming
I'd like to avoid unlocking the bootloader at the moment. I need this device to connect to a corporate account, which, requires to have the bootloader closed and unchanged.
I was talking with the reseller and he knew nothing about this H3S. We agreed to look for information together.. let's see what's going to be the end of this story.

I recently found out about these ROMs, it's just that you have to wait for the manufacturer to push the update. Also, check this link to Mi Community, it's in Spanish but look for the code name of your ROM and will help you to better understand the whole thing (and where your phone comes from.. ).

aittamattia,
I'm still not getting it - what is that ROM? who is the maintainer?

FYI : You posted this question under the Rom's, kernels and Recoveries section. A moderator will surely delete this thread when they find out about it.
Your rom is a carrier rom, you will get the update when the carrier add their own bloatware and releases to you.

Thanks for all the information.
I hope a moderator will move it to Q&A as I want to take it to the reseller to negotiate my options.

Hey,
You have a carrier specific phone. Did you buy it from Three UK?
I bought mine from there exactly one year ago. It came with MIUI 9 and running that "HG" ROM. I had to unlock the bootloader, flash the original global version and lock the bootloader afterwards.
If you don't flash the global version issued by Xiaomi, you will only be able to update to MIUI 11 when Three issue the update. Three is managing the software updates.
Don't waste your time with their customer services, they have no idea what is the software version. If you have the option to get your money back, buy it direct from Xiaomi UK or Europe.
My phone is working fine since then, I'm able to update it via OTA normally.
Please have a look on this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/help/xiaomi-mi8-3-uk-network-t3886669/
There are some topics on the Mi Community as well. I had a discussion with some people that had the same issue.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for the time spent to share information about this ROM.
At the meantime, I'm trying to negotiate nicely with the reseller. It seems like he is looking for information about it as well.
Do you know if H3S got some official customer support system which I can get more inputs on it?
As for the process you've done:
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. Flashed global rom
3. Relocked bootloader
After this process you were able to get OTA updates?

Hi, that's good.
I spoke to their customer services at that time, but had no luck. No one could provide any precise information about the upgrade. Maybe they are able to provide more information now.
So I decided to flash the global version by myself.
Yes, I'm getting OTA updates normally. The official global version is PEAMIXM. I'm on 11.0.6 now.
Cheers

Well,
I'm in a process of probably replacing it to the official version with actually returning the device and getting other.
if it won't work with the reseller, I'll flash a new global rom and that's it.
P.S. - I saw that there are tools that can do it without unlocking the boot loader, like using EDL. did you tired that?
Thanks

Hey!
I didn't try using EDL, maybe it's an alternative. I had to wait 360 hours to get to unlock the bootloader, then the process of flashing and relock bootloader took 15min.
There are other options of ROMs out there, but I wanted to keep it as much as original as possible.
Hope you find a solution soon!

Question Confused!!!

Sorry if this has been asked
Hi this is my 1st ever Xiaomi phone always had Samsung
Love the phone it's mint
I'm confused when it comes to updates and all the different kind of versions to the roms
And reading some comments about ota updates I'm just confused as hell lol
So I'm in UK on Vodafone im
On miui 12.0.2 stable global
How do I get 12.5 update please as it doesn't show for me
Do you have to manually flash all updates ?
How do I know if my bootloader is locked?
How do I safely update /flash phone ?
If I flash phone will that void warranty?
Will my bank apps and Google pay work as I need Google pay ?
What is the best version to flash people and do some roms have better features to use than the 1 I'm already on ?
Sorry for being dumb I'm just scared to do things wrong
Thanks for taking time to read this and if you have spare time to reply and guide me I'd be ever so grateful. Can't imagine ever going back to Samsung I just love this phone

If your phone global is variants
Mi 11 Ultra Global Stable V12.5.2.0
OTA Apply for V12.0.2.0
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.5.2.0...RKAMIXM-V12.5.2.0.RKAMIXM-7f2669dbe3-11.0.zip
if EEA
Mi 11 Ultra EEA Stable V12.5.3.0
OTA Apply for V12.0.6.0
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.5.3.0...RKAEUXM-V12.5.3.0.RKAEUXM-4e14bc378f-11.0.zip
Other options try to click 'check for updated' several times,sometimes the updated will appear

Vodafone unfortunately doesn't let you OTA apply to any other firmware. You got to unlock bootloader.

If I flash phone will that void warranty?
Will my bank apps and Google pay work as I need Google pay ?
What is the best version to flash people and do some roms have better features to use than the 1 I'm already on ?
Sorry for being dumb I'm just scared to do things wrong
Thanks for taking time to read this and if you have spare time to reply and guide me I'd be ever so grateful. Can't imagine ever going back to Samsung I just love this phone

Starting from halfway down!
If your phone is new, the bootloader is locked.
How to safely flash? Read the threads on unlocking the bootloader. There is very little risk provided you have learned how to do it (and not much risk even if you don't).
Warranty. I don't know. But you can always reflash stock firmware and relock the bootloader.
Most people who unlock flash Xiaomi.eu ROM. It is what I use. It's based on the Chinese firmware but heavily modified.
Banking apps and google pay work just fine
