Miui 12 ROM S8/N8 ANBro10 - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I was wondering if one of you beautiful coders can point me in the right direction.
So i manged to get it booted running, making phone calls, updating fine. However, I can't connect toany wifi network, it just saves it without attempting to make a connection and mobile data only works when plugged in usb tethering, im assuming thats because it triggers a service and assigns itself an ip address, as soon as i disconnect usb cable it drops data.
So im on a sm-n950f greatlte Exynos
I have a tiny crack on the corner of my screen every other rom ive tried doesnt wake up the screen cause of it, this is the only rom that i can unlock/wake my screen up like normal.
With bootloader unlocked and twrp already installed
i patched Treble project convert dot zip via TWRP 3.7
Then flashed twrp 3.3 Reboot back into TWRP
Flashed no verify (Some reason it won't install on later twrp)
Flashed RevOSLavender's Miui 12GSI Rom (Tried flashing it with 3.7, got boot loop)
Then installed treble's vendor dot zip
Then flashed RevOSLavender again, some reason theres 2 system image partition, sometimes, really depends which twrp i used to flash the convert zip, so i flashed it again because this time it gave the option to flash both partition.
Rebooted into Miui, took about 10mins the first time

Update, not sure what I did, but I clicked on some random file while browsing in root explorer and it executed/extracted a bunch of random things which knocked out my root access but got WiFi working, just need to figure out the mobile data portion if anyone has a clue,

I'm on a sm-n950f greatlte Exynos

Ok I got the mobile data working, I think I've figured it out. I signed into the Xiaomi account from my mi note 10 which for some reason can't make outgoing calls. So while flashing and running random scripts, I some how got xiaomi's provisioning frameworks script to work? Because it just keeps on trying to sync data, only problem now is to get the complete miui experience it needs a 2 step SMS verification to keep get their awesome skins, themes, and other settings. Yeh cause it was trying to sync with my old fone, it sent me all the hidden apps and services it normally configures after flashing/resetting

ok so this is what happens when it tries to activate your simcard / services. But you have an invalid device id /IMEI

No Data Network Available

Installed cyanogen 6.1 on a G1 I just acquired at no cost but now can't setup my "google account" errors out about not being able to find reliable data network.
Initially I had wiped the phone with the stock ROM and was able to do the initial sign-up of the google account and tested the android market without much of a problem.
After alot of reading, root and learning about Android via a crash course. I was able to sucessfully install cyanogen 6.1 but now I can't setup the phone.
I thought that my trial and error method of getting things working may have caused the problem so I did a complete wipe and started from scratch (minus the error) once more to make sure everything was good. But still no go on setting the google account.
Yes, I do have a dataplan as I was using an HTC TouchPro2 before this.
Any ideas?
SPL: HDBOOT - 1.33.0013d
Radio: 2.22.28.25
ROM: update-cm-6.1.0-DS-2708port_S, gapps-mdpi-tiny20101020-signed.
At the Google Sign-in screen, hit menu, APN, enter your APN.
There should be a skip option on CM anyway.
APN looks correct. I'm able to skip the sign-up but I can't access anything that requires net access. No android market; no browser...nothing.
Did you flash gapps after flashing the rom? Not all roms come pre-installed with gapps.
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App
Yes, I installed gapps-mdpi-tiny20101020-signed
dump a logcat using adb during boot process perhaps?
or try checking the SIM with another phone. similar thing happened to me once-upon-a-time, and apparently it was the SIM and not the phone *doh*
I had the same problem but when i reboot the phone the problem is solved for some time ( 1 a 2 hours) so i have to reboot my phone a lot.
im having the same problem with cm6. i have tried going to biffmod and get the same problem and data is turmed on.
Yep, tried another mod same issue; also went as far as to unroot it and problem still exists.
Does anyone know if the Radio firmware could be the potential culprit?
SIM card works fine on my HTC TouchPro2...running android
Try a diff radio perhaps, not sure if thats the issue.
It has got to be the APN... Do you get a G/E/3G icon?
Just wanted to updated that I have now been able to successfully get CM 6.1.0 working on the G1. Seems that it all came together once I received my G2 and my data plan was changed.
Yay!!

flashed LG G2 to PP and call log does not work, any thoughts?

I saw several threads regarding this issue (no call log - no incoming/outgoing/missed) and all appear to point to issues in phone app bundled with stock G2 ROM and having nv only flag when flashing to pp (only using 3g on pay go plan - of course, I could upgrade my plan to $29 to get 4g, but I never use data on my phone also I do not really use phone for calls/texts whole lot either).
So, I DID hear that installing other ROMs resolve this. However, I am GUESSING that loading other stock rom variants will PROBABLY not help (of course, if you know of one that works, let me know), so I am considering ROMS other than the ones based on stock G2 ROM.
Does anyone know whether G3 based roms (cloudy G3), or AOSP roms fix this issue?
Now, I did try to load several replacement dialer/contact apps and that did NOT help so it must be something deeper.
I guess if nobody have experience, I guess I will try it out.
BTW, My rom is 4.4.2 stock build 24A. Do I need to flash KK baseband before going to Cloudy G3?
(4.4.2 is already a Kitkat, correct?)
I already have root and have TWRP installed (which means that I can install ROMs in alternate slots, correct? Sorry, I am coming from Droid RAZR which works that way)
Thanks.
Got the call log fixed by flashing G3 ROM.
The 3g phone flash was kept without any issues.
Now the call log works, but stock SMS still does not work, had to install textra and it works fine.
After installing G3 ROM, the MAC address changed to something funky, my wireless mac filtering was going crazy and I am assuming that due to duplicate mac address, my internet occasionally got cut off (like watching youtube vid, etc).
I fixed this issue by:
edit: /data/misc/wifi/config
file, replace
cur_etheraddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
where the xx'es represents your actual MAC address (what it originally was).
Now, I did it before and it kept putting back the phantom address right back. LOOKS like this file gets generated upon reboot from some script, but looks like the reading off the MAC address from wifi card is not working correctly or something.
KEY for me was, after updating the file, set the file permission to read only (r-xr-xr-x). I used the ES File Explorer to set the permission.
And then reboot the phone and wifi will come back with correct MAC address.

Phone won't connect to network and custom roms don't work

So I think I messed up my phone.
TL;DR: Messed up phone by removing stock rom, Costume roms don't work except 1 and in that one IMEI is set to zero and I can't connect to any network.
several month ago I had the stock xperia z Lolipop and made a decision to root the device. I unlocked it's bootloader and did the rooting... all as planned. about a month later my phone started acting funny, so I decided to reset it, the problem is I had installed TWRP and as noob in using the app, I accidentally wiped the entire device. I thought I had bricked the thing so I left it aside.
I had been using an older phone as replacement until last week when I thought I'd give the Z another chance. I looked around this forum, found a bunch of stuff, tried a lot of roms and after failing to make 4 roms work (Cyan nougat, Cyan MM, Costumised sony 5.1.1 and a stock one I found here) I managed to find a fifth one that worked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/android-5-1-available-yuga-pabx-t3054304). I always followed the tutorials but I may have done a lot of mistakes... for example I'm not even sure what kernel is and if I needed to change it for any of the roms or if I needed to like wipe the entire system or not before flashing ( I did all the time), and what about rooting? does the system require a previous rooted rom to install new ones? don't we simply format the entire device?.
Now the major problem of the working rom is that my phone can't connect to it's simcard network, the simcard is working since it requires pincode on start and the phone can find the networks by manual search, it simply gives an error "network XXX unavailable". I looked around and saw that my IMEI is set to all zero's in the phone about section. this could be unrelated to the network problem... but I don't have much expertise in these stuff.
So right now it seems like I can't install any other roms (they won't even start up, most get stuck during boot) and the only one I can install doesn't give me network access.
Any Ideas?

How to return to stock?

Hello guys! After experiencing all custom ROMS including Xiaomi.EU, figured out that every single one has some small inconvenience for me and planning to return to stock, eventually using only Magisk and potentially a custom Kernel.
Managed to install every single version of Global Developer ROM, everything works well except the FaceUnlock that was gone, (the phone remained stucked in China region) and I am not able to access the fingerprint section, after few tries it brings me an error message.
Tried also using MIFlash , but the Fastboot ROM writting took 3 sec to write and stopped as successfully, then nothing but bootlooping.
Currently is the phone is functional, but as mentioned before not able to setup new fingerprints (using cache and data from old recovery and those work) neither Face Unlock.
Tried to Google any kind of solution, but unfortunately nothing worked.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
I see that nobody is interested to support, so I continuously researched and figured out that doing a full wipe and following these steps from this post will solve my problem:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/help/chinese-mi8-to-global-instructions-t3839665
From I don't know which reason I was blocked on China region without the possibility to changing it.

OP7Pro & Visible Wireless

I've seen a bunch of people asking about getting the One Plus 7 Pro working on Visible Wireless network and thought I would share what has worked for me in case anyone is still looking for a solution.
Some specifics first, I have a OP 7 Pro, GM1917, that's the global version I think? YMMV
Currently running Derpfest 12, mainly because I like how android 12 looks and feels. Still looking for something better since devs haven't released an update since may.
What I have noticed is that OOS version 10.0.2 works with Visible Wireless out of the box, while later versions do not. Seems somewhere after that version that OOS updates broke Visible support.
I first noticed this because I bought the phone off swappa, wanting to upgrade from the crappy Visible Midnight I got to see if I get good service in my area. After installing a custom rom and then using MSM to reflash latest stock when something broke, Visible wasn't working. Which didn't make sense. It had worked before. right? So my thinking was that the original owner had owned the phone long enough to OTA from 10 to 11. Sure enough, downgrading to 10 and then using OTA to upgrade fixed the issue.

So here's my process.
Enable unsigned drivers support for your PC, download and install qualcomm EDL driver.
Backup phone, of course.
Put phone in EDL mode. Run MSM tool with guacamole_21_O.22_191107_repack
OTA update from local file, OnePlus7ProOxygen_21.P.43_OTA_0430_all_2204061153_a32bd850d41a490c.zip (Might work with latest OTA zip, havent tried.)
That will give you OOS 11, almost latest (I think there's like one more update to stable from there, but I'm lazy) with working Visible support.
Alternatively, if you want to make sure that you get legit OOS and not have to rely on zips from the internet, just let OTA update you to latest like normal, or use Oxygen Updater app.
From there, do whatever. Install TWRP, ROM, Magisk, etc.
Keep the files around somewhere so that if something goes wrong, you have everything prepared to fix it on hand.
Enjoy
I've managed to get visible sim working on all A12 roms using a few methods. Downloading an app that adds APN settings if the rom doesn't let you. Then typing in all the apn settings from this reddit post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Visible/comments/ehdeik
For dun apn type, I used DUN all capitalized and it seems to work fine.
Then this is the key step: swapping the sim card between the two sim slots and restarting the phone repeatedly until it properly recognizes the sim card. If that doesn't work then inserting a different random sim, in my case I inserted my old tmobile sim, then taking it out and putting back the visible sim and switching sim slots if needed.
I'm using a GM1915, tmobile version that's been permenantly unlocked thanks to an xda member called mobbdeep.
right, I'd seen that, but i only have an old tacfone sim that's no longer active. does the sim have to be active for it to work? also, doesn't that need to be done every time you reboot the phone? that seems kind of annoying lol. especially since I reboot my phone sometimes like 2-3 times a day when it refuses to lock onto band 66.

Click to collapse
Any old sim should work, my tmobile sim isn't active but forces my phone to change bands. It's also just a one time thing.
