I hope I can get some help here. Today I started getting add pop-ups on my Xiaomi MI5 that's 3 days old. I installed a lot of applications, but they have all been previously installed on my HTC Desire 500 and my Nexus 7 and I never had any issues. The adds pop up after I unlock the screen, sometimes it's just a Home screen that's not responding (until I hit the Back button), sometimes it's a full add. Adds vary a lot and change from Pokemon training spam to Anti-spyware apps. On some adds it said it's sponsored by "StartApp". On one add there was an information button, so I got some message from "com.aqplay.mediation" about permission settings (nothing really relevant, couldn't uncheck anything anyways).
After scanning the phone with Avast, MBAM and Addons Detector, I got nothing. I also went through a crapload of forums looking for answers, tried to uninstall some apps that I installed today, but nothing helped.
In the end I noticed that the built-in application "File Manager" keeps ending up in my Recent Applications list, even though I never opened it. So I tried to stop and uninstall it, but with no luck. There is a process that looks suspicious so I would like to ask anyone to check if they have the same process on their device.
Under Settings - Installed apps - Running - File Manager there is a Service (second from the top) called "zdrhhriggx". Can anyone verify they have the same Service running?
Since it's a built in app, I can't Disable or Uninstall File Manager to be 100% sure, but so far I have found a workaround.
In the Security application I went to Data Usage settings - Data usage stats - System apps - File Manager and I disabled it's Mobile and Background data access. I am unable to turn off the WLAN setting for it though. But so far, no adds in the last 30mins.
If anyone has a good permanent solution to this problem (I know I can do a factory reset, but let's make that the last option) I'd be forever grateful.
Additional info:
Android version: 6.0 MRA58K
MIUI version: MIUI by xiaomi.eu 7.8.13.0 (MAACNDB) | Stable
Kernel version: 3.18.20-perf-g40a7c74
Fake ROM
I believe you are correct, stupid of me not to check the ROM version. Thank you very much.
You are using Vendor Rom maybe . Unlock your bootloader and flash Official Rom . If you are using root . Install adaway to make some ads dissapear .
Same issue with ads and massive wlan battery drain (vendor rom from xiaomi.eu). unlocked it, flash the official and worked like a charm.

Yup, same here with the WLAN battery drain. But the adds stopped for some reason the last 2 days. I'm planning on flashing it, just not sure which procedure to follow. Can you please tell me if you had to Unlock the device through the MIUI website request?
I've found this thread to be helpful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/how-to/xiaomi-eu-7-8-13-0-maacndb-t3412638
I'm just not clear on the difference between flashing with the fastboot update (MIUI flashing tool) or using Mi PC Suite with Full ROM?
Would you be so kind as to provide more precise steps on what you did to unlock and flash it?

You sure you have a fake ROM? I have been installing ROMs from xiaomi.eu ever since and have encounter no ADS whatsoever.

Use the fastboot method as described on the MIUI website, that will work.

hence i downloaded the Global ROM from Miui for 5s - 8.0.3.0 MAGMIDI "normally". now while trying this, it says "i am updating to a older version & all data will be lost". is it possible to really have a newer version on phone which isnt there in MIUI website?
or something is wrong?

Since we are assuming you are on a fake ROM with ads, I'd certainly flash the official ROM, no matter what the fake one says.

Thank you Guojaun for your timely help.
i successfully flashed to GLOBAL ROM.
while i was doing this, there was no folder called "Downloaded_rom" for the ROM to put, i created a folder & put the ROM there. then flashing will go through normally. no need of Fastboot or anything.
Now no ads or any sort of issues

so I have the same problem with you. Same phone (mi 5s plus) with same android version (6.0.1 MXB48T), and MIUI Version (8.0.6.0.0 M8GCNDH)
I'm about to "update" my phone, and I'm just wondering if I need to wipe my phone data first, or everything will be wipe out on this process?
Hi !
This is a backup of the latest OTA of ZUI by Zuk/Lenovo, already configured in english, chineses apps uninstalled, and playstore/google services installed.
Magisk root and unofficial Xposed-Magisk for Nougat work on this rom !
(I've tested Youtube Adaway, Youtube background, Lucky Patcher, Adblocker reborn, it's working well)
Your not need to do a wipe, and you can keep your data if you come to 2.5.435 ZUI rom ! But you have obligation to install boot & firmware, because latest OTA by zuk upgrade both !
[Quick Charge is disabled by default when the screen is on, look the screen capture, it's normal, this is a new setting come with this latest OTA, you can change that on developper settings ! ]

The ROM is flashable with TWRP ? If I come from custom ROM (AEX) I'll need to do a full wipe or I'll need to flash via a PC ?
Is there any chance of multilanguage for this rom?

I don't know how to merge XML translation into rom, sorry.
After receiving OTA update to 462 ST, SOT is reduced to 4 hours of moderate usage (usually 5-6 hours).. Phone temperature is a bit warmer, standby temp usally 27 C, now is 32 C, charging temp is around 37 C.. It's a thin phone, you can feel when the temperature is going up..
Is the OTA update works in this rom? In System Update app I have info: "Your system has been root, we are unable to provide the latest version of the system"
ZUI OTA doesn't support unlocked bootloader, rooted or not the phone just shows this message when the bootloader is unlocked...
Hello, someone has already gained some experience about this Rom, is there anything you should know? Thank you
Anyone can help making this rom multilanguage?
Is francko76 the only one who can help us, or can anyone ask the creator of AEX?
how exactly do I install this? after many attempts I managed to get it, thanks for this

Edit 1: so apperantly I can make calls and receive them but I can't hear anyone and they can't hear me

You just have to put the files in your twrp backup folder. Make a backup yourself in order for the folder to be created and then with a file manager replace your files with the files of this backup. After that just restore it with twrp

Hey everyone,
I just saw this news that the Android 11 open beta is out. Here's the link https://piunikaweb.com/2020/12/30/x...roid-11-public-beta-update-for-these-devices/
I'm currently downloading it now and I'll probably get a chance to flash it tomorrow. The file is 3.53 GB
Is it Global Rom?
I trust this site.wanna see some what features android 11 brings to mi 10t
will it work on mi 10t pro? and is it Global firmware?
edit:

I'm still backing stuff up... It's taking forever, I've spent the last half an hour trying to get Titanium Backup to work, it kept on crashing and not opening. I've got it up and running now and just backing up apps. I've also gone into TWRP and backed up all the smaller partitions. There's a video here of a guy talking through the set up and installation (in some other language...)
-------------
edit - update
Installed and it's running fine. It thinks its the Redmi K30S Ultra, and a few things are in Chinese, it looks like I'll be doing some debloating, but otherwise it seems all good. Camera seems to be working fine
My phone is a Mi 10t Global (not pro)
Little offtopic - anyone actually tried to restore smaller partitions in TWRP after backing up? I've heard from some people that it doesn't work on mi 10t, and if you actually do break something you can't fix it?

I installed from TWRP recovery, it installs fine. I'm not sure about stock recovery, I'm guessing it would work. Someone mentioned above that the camera wasn't working correctly on the Mi 10t Pro with this build too
To be honest, this rom is a bit of a nightmare... There's so much crap, bloatware, and Chinese rubbish installed in it. I've spent the last day trying to clean it up and remove stuff.
Other than that it runs nice and fast and snappy. I'm just worried about how much data is being sent back to China to be honest.
I've found that xiaomi.eu have already released a miui 12.5 rom based off this build and they've apparently cleaned up a lot of the crap and it has google play store and services preinstalled. The thread is here https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/20-12-28-29.59085/
I'm downloading it now, I have a feeling it'll be much less of a headache. I'll update once I try it out

Just finishing setting it up now. I had trouble initially installing it as it wouldn't boot (probably because I tried to avoid formatting data...) and the stock recovery that it flashed was in Chinese and TWRP wouldn't let me see the internal storage or flash anything... It was a bit of a soft brick and took ages to get out of...
It's up and running now and was a bit tricky to get it flashed. I had to do a few steps to get it running.
Flash the TWRP for our device then boot to it.
Format data and write 'yes' (this wipes everything, so back up first)
Reboot to recovery
*Then the problem was that I couldn't access the internal storage, so what I had to do was go to backup -> backup boot partition -> reboot into recovery, then I could access the internal storage and see the TWRP folder on internal storage and then copy files across...
Copy across the xiaomi.eu 20.12.29 rom and magisk 20.2
Flash ROM
I'm currently letting Google install backed up stuff before I go back and install Magisk.
So far the ROM looks nice, has google apps installed and none of the bloatware crap. I'd definitely recommend this ROM over the Chinese beta

This worked for me. Nice one!
Updating from an update fileI have been seeing a lot of posts about people not receiving the OTA on their phone, and got tired of linking my instructions, so I decided to make a separate post
Download the version that you need from the Asus Zenfone 8 Support page (Note that if you are not on the latest Android 11 firmware (30.12.112.72), you will not be able to Android 12. So you need to do these steps with the latest Android 11, and then re-do them for the Android 12 firmware)
Plug in your phone to your computer, make sure the computer is trusted and that you can transfer files from the PC to the phone.
Move the zip file of the update in the base directory of the phone (The same directory as Alarms, Downloads, etc).
Wait for the transfer to finish, then you can unplug your phone if you want.
Reboot the phone
After the reboot, the phone will take a few seconds/minutes and will notify you that an update file was found, select the option to update the phone
It will then extract the update and install it all by itself, the normal update procedure starts from there
not work for me :/
I've spent a couple of hours yesterday to get this thing working. Basically, the Android 12 update will only update from specific image. I will try to describe the whole process below.
You have to do this process to upgrade all the way up to 30.12.112.7. If you have anything else, it won't work.
First, I've reverted back to stock, using
WW-ZS590KS-31.0803.0403.54-user_20210831-release.zip
... which contains the full flash scripts.
In my case, I had to do these delta upgrades manually (so copying the zip to root of sdcard memory).
UL-I006D-ASUS-30.12.112.56-1.1.31-user.zip
UL-I006D-ASUS-30.12.112.62-1.1.31-user.zip
UL-I006D-ASUS-30.12.112.72-1.1.31-user.zip
UL-I006D-ASUS-31.1004.0404.81-1.1.25-2111-user.zip
Number 4 is actual android 12 update. Hope this helps anyone.

I think that what is needed is to update to the latest firmware, then Android 12. So if you are already on Android 11, but not latest firmware, install it with the instructions, then do the same to update to Android 12's latest version.

The android version I currently have is 30.12.112.72
I downloaded version 31.1004.0404.81 from the asus site to have android 12 on my zenfone 8.
I copied the folder without extracting it and put it in my phone's internal storage next to the other folders.
Once the copy was finished I restarted my phone so that it offered me the update but it did not offer it to me.
I do not understand why .

It also depends what prefix your installation has. See the first letters
UL-...
If you are from some other region, it could be that UL- is not a fitting upgrade option for you. As far as I can tell, it's not possible to tell which of the versions you have.
I give you the build number which is marked in the software information:
RKQ1.2021022.002.30.12.112.72
I have the right version or not suddenly?
Thank you for the quick tutorial. I was doing this via fastboot till now.
However: I upgraded to the latest firmware BEFORE Android 12. No issues.
Then I upgraded to the Android 12 firmware: stuck. Gave me some kind of ram dump, reboot returned me to the same error: bootloop. I was able to reboot and get to the bootloader. After selecting "recovery" it actually booted Android. And now for the weird part: it looks like I have a mix of Android 11 and Android 12 now! The phone is all but unusable for how slow it is. But the main UI looks like Android 11 still, but things like the reboot screen now look like Android 12. Bizarre...
I was at least able to enable ADB debug again, so I think I will be able to recover the phone. Still a weird issue though. Don't know if flashing with fastboot would have prevented it...
If anything fails, you can always try the Asus flash script it will solve most of the issues with your phone, just note that it installs Android 11 (30.11.51.115)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/full-recover-to-stock-if-things-went-really-bad.4337467/
EDIT: nvm, I saw your other reply, you alreay tried that. Were you able to get it working again?
Going from WW-30.12.112.82 to WW-31.1004.0404.107 worked flawlessly, i did not lose settings or data on that upgrade (but I want to stress that a good backup is STILL a very good thing to have!) It then started downloading the 31.1010.0410.43 upgrade on its own. (shown in the ui as SKQ1.210821.001.31.1010.0410.43)
Why didn't I upgrade to the latest one myself? Simple: I goofed up and downloaded the older one.
change the name in UL-ASUS_I006D-ASUS-99.1004.0404.82-1.1.31-9999-user.zip
Hi, has anyone tried to upgrade a firmware that has Magisk and TWRP installed? Today Android 13 has been released for the Zenfone 8, but I wouldn't really like to do something really dumb such as upgrading, rebooting to recovery to reinstall Magisk only to discover that TWRP has been replaced by the stock recovery and the phone completely erases any data it has stored.
You can update by putting the fw in sdcard folder, while keeping magisk (you need to restore images before updating and reinstalling magisk in the inactive slot after updating, then reboot). Otherwise, you can just update through system or through twrp, and after that, boot/flash twrp and install magisk again. In both ways you won't lose any data

Thank you! As this is my first phone with A/B slots, I wasn't completely sure about how to proceed. I'll follow your instructions! The only thing I don't get is where is TWRP stored and why it won't be overwritten by the update.
EDIT: installed successfully, thanks!
Hello!
the latest MIUI update I've received, 13.0.17.0.SKFMIXM, is not owrking as good as the one I was using, namely 13.0.16.0.SKFMIXM.
I've found and downloaded the 3.41 GB and something full rom and the OTA update of 266.39 MB.
I've tried with each one the following procedure:
rename the file to update.zip
copy it into the root folder of the phone
tap various time on the miui 13 logo to get the "select update package menu"
...every time it says that can't verify the update package, try via usb.
I was so happy with the 10.0.16.0. what can I do? I fear that a factory restore and a subsequent update will bring it back to 13.0.16.0.
Thank you in advance for the help.

the latest MIUI update I've received, 13.0.17.0.SKFMIXM, is not owrking as good as the one I was using, namely 13.0.16.0.SKFMIXM.
I've found and downloaded the 3.41 GB and something full rom and the OTA update of 266.39 MB.
I've tried with each one the following procedure:
rename the file to update.zip
copy it into the root folder of the phone
tap various time on the miui 13 logo to get the "select update package menu"
...every time it says that can't verify the update package, try via usb.
I was so happy with the 10.0.16.0. what can I do? I fear that a factory restore and a subsequent update will bring it back to 13.0.16.0.
Thank you in advance for the help.

Google fastboot flash with PC or recovery flash via custom Recovery.
For both the bootloader has to be unlocked. In my opinion there's no other way to rollback .
I've downloaded the right version (EEA) and now I'm getting the message "impossible to downgrade".
ahahah. this is so stupid.
I had a nice, fully working phone, now it's back to garbage and I can't rollback. starting from the battery usage - now I can't activate the battery saver and the drop down menu is transparent and unreadable unless i turn off the battery saver.
My only option is to navigate a jungle of fake infos and obscure downloads to flash the phone - since there is no clear guide. I might be wrong; if there is a CLEAR guide on how to properly flash a Redmi Note 10 Pro, where can I find it?
Cheers.

I advise to search for the right information on XDA and the downloads from Xiaomi servers.

Downgrading using the rename trick is not possible now due to OTA validation. But still, downgrading is still possible as long as the bootloader is unlocked (you can re-lock bootloader afterwards btw so no worry about banking apps).
Procedure might be something similar to this:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash any latest OSS ROM (this is just to remove MIUI)
3. Use MiFlash and fastboot method to install old versions (re-lock if you want)
Alternatively, after No.2 you can directly install the old update through custom recovery and just keep bootloader unlocked. Though this means that you'll have to deal with hiding rooting and passing safetynet.
PS: Just to add, Anti-Rollback is not yet enabled for sweet so no worries with getting bricked while downgrading. Just be careful and flash appropriately.
Thanks for the kind reply, @BigChungus321 . Glad to hear that I can still unlock and lock the bootloader! at least for those 6 months of warranty.
Just one thing, in the step you suggested you said:
1. Unlock bootloader2. Flash any latest OSS ROM (this is just to remove MIUI)3. Use MiFlash and fastboot method to install old versions (re-lock if you want)Alternatively, after No.2 you can directly install the old update through custom recovery and just keep bootloader unlocked. Though this means that you'll have to deal with hiding rooting and passing safetynet.Directly installing the old update ( MIUI 13.0.16.0.SKFEUXM ) isn't the same as using MiFlash and fastboot to install the old version, or I am missing a part here?
In this very moment I've made a backup of all the pictures and a list of all the apps installed, to help googling them again later, in preparation for asking the MIUI lords the permit to unlock my device.
Also, I've a friend who has the same phone but it has never been updated; based on my personal experience, if I'd like her to avoid the issues I've found in 13.0.17.0, would it be safe to tell her to manually update the phone with the "select update package menu"?
wow.
I was ready to unlock the phone, but I forgot to unlock the "Mi unlock" in the developer options. So I went there and seems that I cannot unlock: I keep receiving the message "connect to the netwrok and try again".
Am I missing some piece of information here?

It is the same but I do encounter people who face anti-rollback error rejecting the downgrade if flashing from MIUI to MIUI. But going from OSS to MIUI, this arb check does not seem to occur.

No clue if that prevents the issue/bug you encounter. I usually just dirty flash the full rom update (not the incremental which is around ~200mb) in recovery and I don't seem to get issue this way, aside from recovery being replaced because dm-verity is getting activated again.

I've seen many people who have this issue too. Again, no clue how to fix this. Maybe reboot, and just enable mobile data. Try changing sim card or switching sim card slots. Use other Mi Account for unlocking. I did see discussions about how using the same sim card and same Mi account can on a different device can cause this. I still have no clue how to fix this though so sorry. Might be a good idea to use a fresh sim card and mi account if you still encounter it.
