Dont use on the LTE version, it will not boot or enter recovery
He has mentioned it in bold in the OP:

Mi Pad 4 LTE, Mi Pad 4 Plus, Mi Pad 4 Plus LTE model is not supported. Only Mi Pad 4 Wi-Fi model is supported.

@arter97
Bro can you do mi pad 4 LTE too?
He has mentioned earlier that unless the community can buy him LTE version or starts a fundraiser, he has no plans to buy the LTE version. So i would say it's highly unlikely at this point.

This is great! :) Finally, a compelling reason to get a Mi Pad 4.

Don't know if you care, but I found a few minor mistakes:
"[...]Mi Pad 4 Plus, Mi Pad 4 Plus LTE model is not supported." -> Mi Pad 4 Plus only comes in an LTE version (64gb / 128 gb) (source: https://www.androidauthority.com/xiaomi-mi-pad-4-plus-894932/ + various other sites). I wouldn't mind chipping in if someone creates a fund-raiser/crowdfunding for you to get an LTE version of the tablet (be it the regular or plus model).

"The next QSSI build will have it solved." -> link is not properly formatted (http://xn--https-nw3b//gerrit.aospa.co/c/AOSPA/android_frameworks_base/+/5436”) -> correct (https://gerrit.aospa.co/c/AOSPA/android_frameworks_base/+/5436)

You can open a fund raiser yourself.
IIRC, XDA forum rule bans me(developer) from demanding donations/fundraisers out front.

@arter97 you're a legend bro, great job.
Thanks for your kind words. I remember trying out your kernel back in the Galaxy Nexus days :)

One thing I noticed is that adaptive brightness fails in pitch dark room. The screen stays completely dark. Other than that everything else works great.
Hmm, I made it possible to completely turn off the LCD backlight when the brightness go 0. Maybe this was a bad idea?

Thanks for the log. I'll see whether I can replicate and fix it on my device.
Noted, thanks.
I actually went back semi stock rom(xiaomi eu rom miui10) and flashed this again according to your instructions but same WiFi problem occurs.
I am gonna try to go full stock Chinese rom and get back to this. Not sure if it’s gonna solve anything but worth a try..

Hey, can you give me another dmesg on a ROM/kernel with a working Wi-Fi?
Just reboot, check Wi-Fi works and get a dmesg.

Thanks.

According to the rules that would have me banned as a regular user too. If there's a work-around, I'd be happy to help. The LTE version is on sale for 229.99 USD currently. No more OT from here :)

Haha yeah I've been out of the kernel game for many years now.

That's exactly what's happening I think. You probably want to set it to minimum brightness rather than turning off the display altogether. I'm good either way though - discovered an app called velis which seems to do Auto brightness pretty well. ?
