On which Rom please? Does it also work in shops?

Gpay working? Given the updates to Safetynet features and bootloader checks, has anyone got GPAY working with this, and if so, which rom? Thanks in advance for any help, as GPAY is a deal breaker for me and I'm suffering on Miui.

I'm guessing you may have a China rom if it's an 8gb version and definitely if it's 8gb/256gb. Latest fastboot roms can be found here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphael/ I'd try the latest of any rom with clean all. DO NOT SELECT CLEAN ALL AND LOCK unless you're sure its' the...

If you have access to fastboot then you haven't killed it. You need to use MiFlash and try different official fastboot ROMS until you get the same as it came with (same rom not neccessarily same version number). Make sure you flash using "clean all and flash" and DON'T select lock. Eventuallly...

I disagree. Once you have the bootloader unlocked officially, if anything goes wrong just reflash an official fastboot rom from Xiaomi using MiFlash and your phone is as good as new. No worries.

When you reboot reboot straight to recovery using POWER & VOL + It should stay after that as long as your reboot to recovery before you reboot to system. Let me know if that helps at all.

Once you have flashed TWRP, reboot straight into recovery rather than back into the system, otherwise the system overwrites with stock recovery. Once you've done it once it should stick. Hope that works for you.

What's the camera quality like... I've heard good things about it. Is it rooted?

Magisk has a few modules for it but nothing like Xposed. I'm going to do a full back up and then see how well ZenUI plays with Substratum as most of the ZenUI Themes are pretty poor and I want an all black theme. I'll let people know how it goes if anyone is interested in using substratum...

I flashed TWRP from one of the other threads on here filename twrp-3.1.0-0-Z01H-20170408.img to be precise. I then flashed the latest version of magisk the zip found here Then selecting core files only and magisk hide options I have root that passes the latest safetynet checks. No problem.

This was totally bugging me too but after a whole day of trying I've finally managed it. 1) Go to this thread here 2) Boot into fastboot and flash the boot.img and system.img as suggested in the thread 3) Also flash the original recovery using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" 4) Go to the...

How did you get on with flashing the update... did you have to revert to stock recovery and if so which did you use? Thanks for your help with this.

Not that alarming, I've just swapped to pin code until it's rectified, for the sake of better battery. All other security policies allow the screen to properly to turn off.

It's a good phone, feels very premium, great camera. I NEED root but I'm sure it'll come fairly soon. The main complain it that the firmware seems a tiny bit beta. For example, whilst the fingerprint sensor works really well, it keeps the screen on permanently when locked and drains battery...

I've tried the Engineer mode as well as 3 hardware info apps. None of them give the sensor name, but they all give the same information, that the back camera is 16.3 megapixel with continuous auto focus. What you say about the Honor 6 sounds right as the two are almost exact with the minor...
