Hello all!
So, I've been in love with all Xiaomi Products for a long time, my my phone is an OnePlus One and I can say that I'm not a newbie regarding this Android world.
Months ago I bought a Mi Pad 2 which had a strange behaviour with the screen, sometimes when I lock the screen, I couldn't unlock it. After spend an afternoon, flashing, reflashing and trying with different roms, I could fix it.
Yesterday I got my Mi5, It came perfectly on its box. After charging for a while (It came without charge) I tried to set it up. It came with Miui 7 International version, play store and play services already installed.
I notice a strange behaviour with the screen out of the box, it didn't respond very well and sometimes I couldn't unlock the screen. So I decide to Flash Miui 8 by following the Miui.com instructions but nothing changed, I'd said that I got worse.
Looks like the screen did not respond very well, after using a "touch screen test" app, I could see that the response was very poor, I barely could detect my 2 fingers and if I try to draw a line, I doesn't recognize all the movement that I'm doing in the screen.
Have you guys seems this before? Do you think it's a soft issue? For me it looks like a hardware issue, I already open a ticket with the support, but would be amazing if I could fix it by myself.
Btw, meantime I request to unlock my phone from mi.com/unlock but I don't want to touch the bootloader till I don't get an answer from support.
Thaaaaaank you!
Normally mi 5 doesnt have that issue, even i never heard that was a bug. So i guess it hardware issue, return it to your dealer

Hello everybody, i have a question, i hope you can help me with it, around 6 or 7 month ago, i bouught a note 5 refurbished from aliexpress, the phone works almost perfect (camera trembles sometimes when i start it) but appart from that, is physically good.
The thing is, when i boot up the phone, the android logo has a "custom" with a open lock on the image, and i've read that is a thing that mainly lock the android pay freature (also, the phone is not rooted, just seems like a slightly modified version or something).
So: I wanted to upgrade it, but seems that the image they put lock that freature, and they say me that upgrading it would void the warranty. Now its been 6 month so no warranty for me, its there any way to check if i can safely upgrade it? because im afraid that if i download a version, and flash it, it will be bricked because i did something wrong. What i need to attach here so you can help me know if its safe to upgrade?
Also, why the hell i have a "united arab emirates" thing on my phone info? like Track ID and TA:
Thanks everybody that can help me. and Sorry for my english.
Hello all,
So heres my problem, i bought a Note 8 super cheap from a Rent-a-Center due to cracked back case, so i took it a person in the mall that was able to replace the back cover for me.
I then took my phone home and my kid was playing with it, a few mins later he hands it to me asking to fix, he'd put a lock on and not known what the passcode was i reset the phone....
This was my mistake, as when it came back on it asked for an email address to login with, so i entered my gmail address. didnt work. i then did some looking online to find that my kid had some how turned on the Google protection, and put in an email into it.. so i took my Note 8 with my receipt to the Samsung store who said they could remove the FRP lock as i had the receipt..
2 days later i get a phone call saying they cannot fix the FRP due to the case not being the original case.
So thats how i ended up here, because i now have my phone that i love and wanted to mod or tweak, and been reading up on it..
But now i'm stuck as i dont know enough, and no one wants to help because its not the original case, i do have the imei number etc.. but doesnt seem to matter for Samsung.
I've tried everything that i can find online about FRP locks on Note 8 without any success....
I would be grateful if someone could either help or point me in the right way.
I dont mind reading and trying things to get this fixed. but sadly i dont know enough about the note 8.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice on how to fix this.

This is a clasic issue. The most people take off the oem unlock or have a samsung account problem. When the phone restars boom is lock by frp. I have lock my note 8 too before 7 months. You can fix the frp lock very easy. You need to download an official note 8 stock rom. https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note8/SM-N950U/ or search into xda for note 8 stock rom if you cant download from this site. When you download the stock rom you need to download the flash tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3677072 when you have download the rom and the flash tool. You are ready to flash the stock rom. How to flash the stock rom? You want a pc and a note 8 usb cable and a note 8 more than 80% charged. Follow this steps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPAgVic9GRM very easy way. You dont need more than 10 minutes to fix the frp lock.

If you can remember the email used, you can recover the password via Google, so you can login on your phone...
Just putting a google account on the phone enables FRP. Flashing with Odin or factory resetting the phone is what FRP lock is for... Factory Reset Protection.
You won't get much support here on this issue as it comes across as a stolen/found phone.

if you read my first post, i have the receipt for the phone, it was my kid who was playing with the phone before i had it activated as didnt think he really could do much damage, and if he did mess it up, i could just flash it. Samsung and ifixit said they could remove the frp as i have the receipt, however due to the case being replaced, they will not do anything now due to not the original case. so either i have a paperweight that is useless or someone knows a way round, or can give me someone that i can show the receipt to that will fix it..
Rent-a-center cannot do anything to unlock as its an frp and they said to contact samsung, i contact samsung who tell me to goto ifixit and they can do it, i goto ifixit and they said on the phone that can fix, but in person they say they cant fix due to not original case.

I understood the OP... I stand by my comment.
I Honestly think that changing the back cover does not constitute any type of violation to consider not servicing a lawful owner, the only really important factor always is LEGAL OWNERSHIP PROOF
these posts about bypassing frp appear from time to time, and always are from people that never return to post anything again

The fact that you have a receipt doesn't mean anything to us on here because we didn't give you the receipt and anybody can easily make one nowadays.. You're saying that they won't touch your phone because it's not the original case? I talked to someone I know at IFixit and was told that the case has nothing to do with it since the phone doesn't need to be opened up anyway in order to remove the FRP (Factory Reset Protection) You also said.. "I then took my phone home and my kid was playing with it, a few mins later he hands it to me asking to fix, he'd put a lock on" It would take a lot more than "playing" with it to magically end up with a gmail account and password on it.. Your kid would actually HAVE to HAVE a gmail account.. What you're saying isn't holding much water and it's exactly why we don't help people bypass the FRP security lock..

firstly heres a copy of the receipt, which Phil at Ifixit (402-932-0187) in Nebraska Furniture Mart confirmed, as he called the store and came into the store on his day off and talked to me and Justice Keene at the store.
https://mega.nz/#!tlkxHAIA!r4ooTH9Scy9yVwrPzk8b9gSY4OiNs4gK3xPWNL1Av5Y
as u can see the shop owner wrote on the receipt, included her business card, as the information..
That was confirmed by Tim in person and on the phone. He told me bluntly in the store that he would have been able to do it, but as the back cover doesnt have the imei on number on the sticker, samsung wont fix it.
I've put in a complaint to Samsung concerning not being able to help due to the cover. I've also written a complaint to Ifixit at Nebraska Furniture Mart concerning this.
I really dont care if someone even wants to call Ifixit in Nebraska to ask, or call Rent a Center on (402) 408-0710 to confirm that i bought the phone from them.
As i didnt steal or find the phone, i have everything i need including Rent a Centers information, and best part is, if anyone knows anyone in Rent a center, with the IMEI number they can confirm it was a cash sale made at omaha 90th and mapple store.
all i want is someone to help, or if someone knows someone in Samsung, or Ifixit that will help, as the store in Nebraska Furniture Mart doesnt want to help.
you for one thing, should/ must figure out which email your son allegedly registered, as it must indeed be a valid one, as for finding someone here to help you, I think no one is going to, if everything you say is true, I wish you good luck

thanks
Hi people, i have a huawei p30 pro for 1 year and the other day my screen I broke it, I buy new online and the back glass also then I follow a tutorial on YouTube how to change screen, I open the front screen then the back glass and when I wanted to remove the battery I dint follow the instruction 1 2 3 just 3 directly and the battery broke down and the smelling was disgusting, I search on internet for a batteryi buy one and is not for my phone they send me other type of battery 3900 mAH, then I search second hand huawei to buy and I dint found the p30 pro but the mate 20 pro on internet they say is the same battery, so I buy the mate 20 pro I extract the battery I put on my p30 pro and when power on:: says huawei and then phone shuts down, I wipe data and factory reset succefull but the phone still not passing the boot message from huawei just shutdown its very strange its posible if someone know there is a encryption with batteries or something like that? Pls I can't get my head clear and I spend a lot of money only to change the screen of my huawei and now it's not working... Plss
As long as it's the right battery that shouldn't be the issue.
Try a hard reboot (disconnect the battery).
It maybe:
Loose or damaged micro ribbon connector.
Damaged hardware (unconnected assemblies can be damaged by ESD) or otherwise damaged.
Firmware data is corrupted; reflash firmware.

same problem here...it happened to me three times in a row so i think damaged hardware can not be the problem since i did everythink very carefully. I think maybe the screen could have caused a brick of the phone...the battery is not the problem since i have the same think with original battery! also i tried with original (cracked) screen afterwards and it still was the same problem. did you try update via OTG?
I've got the solution! It is a bettery issue...I had three phones with exact the same problem (no boot after display and bettery change), after inserting the old battery all the phones appeared to be working just fine. Try to put in the old battery and reboot. Good luck
yes its the battery you are right , but how can we change battery ? its 100 on the huawei store

i have buy the battery from the idoc website now im waiting to come and test it
The idoc battery seems to work very good, I think problem was the official battery
Thanks to everyone helping me, when I connect the battery from idoc website the phone just started normally
I had an other p30 pro with a broken battery. I replaced it with the one from Idoc website but still it wont boot up. Since i've already reppaired plenty of p30 pro i'm pretty sure that nothing was damaged. Any suggestions? Thank you
