Any tips for those with locked bootloaders who used the EDL TWRP hack? I'd rather not get bricked by flashing the latest bootloader on the leaked MIUI Nougat release.

i think this is important (as a general announcement too)

You can remove "fastboot %* flash sbl1 %~dp0images\sbl1.mbn" from batch files that start flashing process in MiFlash to prevent installation of new bootloader.

MiFlash bypasses locked bootloader but I would not try to flash new bootloader on locked phone - it would either work and just change version to Nougat one or would not flash it and the rom would potentially not work at all - I mean it would not get installed as the installation process would not pass the bootloader flashing. Either way hardbricking the phone is not possible, the worst case scenario would require opening the phone to do a flash trick.
But since unlocking bootloader does not break warranty I see no reason to keep it locked and you can always lock back the device using "fastboot oem lock" command if you are worried about security.

 

[kevinpunk]

VOLTE support ?

 

[wingryder]

i literally have no words to thank you nijel.its quite a new years gift.another masterpiece by a master.after the closure of cyn inc. the future looked bleak.i especially like the theme engine.oms themes dont look good to me.i knew lineage os was my only hope,but i didnt expect this early.what a pleasant surprise.this new year is definitely off to a good start,thanks to nijel.

edit:clean installed over latest firmware on hydrogen,i found it to be more stable than,cm14.the camera seems to be rock stable,with no crashes so far(stills-100%quality & video at 4k),a problem which i used to face in some roms.lte data works fine in sim2(didnt try sim1)

@nijel8
sorry for off-topic here, is the new bootloader will not booting with "unlocked bootloader with TWRP" or i can't flash TWRP manually after updating to new bootloader?
and if you guys want, i can pack the latest firmware (leaked?!) into a flashable zip then post here.

I used the ERP TWRP method because my unlock request was rejected. What's weird is that I got the official unlock done for my old Redmi Note 3 Pro and I still had unlock permission for the Mi Max when it was on MIUI, but unlocking kept failing at the 50% mark.

Sbl1.mbn and emmc_appsboot.mbn are both bootloader files? Would it be safe to comment out both when using MiFlash? I just want the new baseband.

Yes to the first, I'm not sure to the second. I think it would be safe to comment them out, the first is a bootloader file, but I do not know what the second one is for (Google search tells about unofficial unlocking of bootloader so it should be safe to comment it out, I think), be mindful to edit correct .bat file, the one you will actually use to flash in MiFlash.

Happy New Year. Can ist install dirty the Rom on CM14.1 can ist use the Boot Image for Helium?

Gesendet von meinem Mi Max mit Tapatalk

 

[RockstarTA]

I flashed the rom in Xiaomi Mi Max Prime with locked bootloader (i dont flash the miui beta with Android 7.0...), the rom its working fine except for the camcorder (its buggy), but i dont know if this problem its because the rom is running in Helium or because i dont flashed the beta, thanks for your work nijel8.

 

[The_wolf88]

I've tested this ROM, everything seems working including stock camera (CM Camera), both Photo and Video recording are working like a charm. No force close

I didn't flash MIUI beta ROM, I just extracted firmware files from MIUI beta ROM and flashed them in recovery. Everything seems working just fine

I just noticed some empty windows on initial setup menus, click on next worked and I managed to finish the initial setup.

Big thanks to nijel8, keep updating it

And happy new your to all,

And happy new your to all,

I think nijel already has extracted all new blobs and put to this ROM so it should not be necessary to do it separate...

Flashing stock new beta might update firmware of some hardware phone components during first boot, so I think I will try to do it, it should in theory at least make ROM more stable...

Any tips for those with locked bootloaders who used the EDL TWRP hack? I'd rather not get bricked by flashing the latest bootloader on the leaked MIUI Nougat release.

No tips... I am comlete noob whenit comes to locked bootloaders... Never had one...

VOLTE support ?

Don't know and can't test. But probably not. Will try to fix it but not before fix what I can see.

Happy New Year. Can ist install dirty the Rom on CM14.1 can ist use the Boot Image for Helium?

You can try dirty flash as always first. There are some fixes in this rom boot.img but trying different one won't kill your phone. But you DO need to flash MIUI 6.12.29 first or video recording and probably something else will not work.

I flashed the rom in Xiaomi Mi Max Prime with locked bootloader (i dont flash the miui beta with Android 7.0...), the rom its working fine except for the camcorder (its buggy), but i dont know if this problem its because the rom is running in Helium or because i dont flashed the beta, thanks for your work nijel8.

See above... You DO need to flash MIUI 6.12.29 first or video recording and probably something else will not work.

I've tested this ROM, everything seems working including stock camera (CM Camera), both Photo and Video recording are working like a charm. No force close

I didn't flash MIUI beta ROM, I just extracted firmware files from MIUI beta ROM and flashed them in recovery. Everything seems working just fine

I just noticed some empty windows on initial setup menus, click on next worked and I managed to finish the initial setup.

Big thanks to nijel8, keep updating it

And happy new your to all,

That is the right way to go...
You just made me realize there is no "firmware-update" folder in leaked MIUI 6.12.29 so no need to install it first on hydrogen!!! I just missed that part...
Soo... For hydrogen you need to flash MIUI 6.12.8 global dev and for helium MIUI 8.1.6 to get your device up to date... These roms are official so I will have firmware update only zips posted in a couple of minutes... hold on...

Actually EDL images don't have a firmware-update folder like fastboot recovery ones, but they do have the firmware files.

I always do that, download the EDL images, and extract those files from it, put them in the ZIP flashable file I have and flash it when necessary. No need to flash the whole MIUI ROM just to update the firmware and it's working everytime.
