[Q] Desire 820u has no Google Play.

I have Desire 820u CHinese version and it has only English and Chinese languages. No Goggle play and even does not allow to install Google play. Blocks it. I would like to install Google play. Is there any international ROM ?

Just unlocked it. But cannot flash any recovery.

What did you use? I have just used WinDroid Universal Toolkit to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and root the phone. It worked, although it did take me a while to get it sorted due to issues with the drivers.
Everything seems to be working.

I hope it can help.
I have the same model, chinese version.
open HTC market, and look for GMS.... app.
download it, launch it, and when required enter the code *#*#.....
it will download somethink like 150M, your mobile will reboot, and at the end you'll find all google app in your mobile.
done.
without root, unlock or other

PLease can you write detaily ? What you said is unclear for me.
1. What do you mean with HTC Market ? I do not have HTC Market. It is called AppMarket and all in Chinese.
2. There are lots of GSM apps there and nothing worked in AppMarket.
Can you put url here ?

Hi,
No official international rom so far (I doubt if it's planned, this phone's target is Asia)
Convenient solution is to flash GAPPS on top of existing software (without erase, just clear cache). Base package can be found at htcui[dot]com//androidrom/htc_820_rom [replace dot] - look for BillGates-li tread (you may need to use chrome with translation, as it's all Chinese). I'm sorry for confusion, but due to rookie rank, I'm not allowed to post external links.
Beware, each major upgrade (that flashes, not patches) will erase those GAPPS.
You'll need:
- customer recovery .img (can be found in orygnial android development section)
- fastboot (to flash i.e. install it)
- (suggested) original recovery.img (to enable future upgrades from HTC, that will download but not install on custom recovery)
Don't forget to backup before flashing - "just'n'case".

GMS App not working
Hi, just bought an HTC 820us, and just like everyone, no google apps. What's weird is that my phone is not even recognized by HTC sync manager, Windroid, HTC tool, fastboot under command line or any other program.
I'm unable to get this device's token in order to unlock the bootloader and install google apps, root, etc. When I try to install the GMS app I get an "App not installed error". If anyone finds a solution for this i'll be more than happy to donate to the cause.
Thanks for reading!

same device, no google play too...

well, I have the same device since two days and I still try to install google play without success yet. it is possible at all or I can just use a limited version of this smartphone?
this is my first android phone and I have no idea what to do...any suggestions are welcome

found a solution
Ok, so after dealing with this phone for a while I found many solutions for the common problems of having an imported phone from china.
I found solutions for: Google Apps, Root, CallerID mismatch (Contacts not recognized when receiving calls due to chinese format of their CallerID)
- How to install Google Apps
1. Do a Factory Reset of your phone in the recovery screen (volume down+power button)
2. Download the GMS安装器 apk in your computer from google or any other source, make sure it's the apk with the android robot with the google apps logo in it. (app is no longer distributed in the included App Market)
3. Tranfer the downloaded file to a SD card (32gb maximum size or else it wont be recognized)
4. Insert the SD card in your phone
5. Using the "File Transfer" app in your phone copy the GMS app to the phone's "Download" folder.
6. Enable "Unknown Sources" in Settings/Security/Device Administration
7. Install the App, DON'T RUN IT. (Installation failed for me at first, a factory reset solved this)
8. Unmount the SD Card
9. Using the "File Transfer" app, install the GMS apk
10. Follow the instructions the GMS app is giving you, remember to remove the SD card before installation
11. The app will download something like 200mb, after that it will ask you to enter a code in your phone's dialer, enter it, it will automatically will reboot.
12. If you are lucky, the phone will have all Google Apps installed.
- Root
Once you have Google apps installed, it's easier for some root exploits to work.
1. Use Kingo Root for windows, it will try many methods of Rooting your device, the one that worked used an installation of various apps. Kingo root needed "USB Debugging" activated in Settings/Developer Options. If you don't have the Developer options menu enabled, please google it.
Once you have Root access it's easier to remove the Chinese apps that came with the phone.
- How to fix the CallerID not recognizing contacts problem
1. Download and Install "ES File Explorer" using the Google Play Store app.
2. Allow Root access when prompted to.
3. Head over to the "Tools" menu using the button in the upper left corner of the "ES File Explorer" app.
4. Enable "Root Explorer"
5. Click on "Root Explorer"
6. Click on "Mount R/W
7. Set "/system" to the RW value.
8. Press OK
9. Navigate to: Local, then /Device/system
10. Look for file named: "build.prop" and open it
11. Open it using ES Note Editor
12. Edit the file (using the 3 dots menu on the upper right corner)
13. Find the entry named: ro.phone.min_match=11 and change the number to 7.
14. Entry has to be named ro.phone.min_match=7
15. Press the return button, it will ask you to save changes, save them.
16. Just in case, remove the RW access mentioned in step 7.
17. Go to Settings/apps/all/ contacts and force stop, clear data
18. Do the same with the Contact Storage App.
19. Reboot Phone, cross your fingers and problem is solved.
I hope this helps a lot of people.
BTW: My phone is an HTC 820us, China Mobile.

I describe here how to get GAPPS for HTC D820US and maybe for any other "China-smartphone"
1_: Unmount the SD Card
2_: go to nduoa.com/package/detail/225445 with Chrome
3_: Right click on the page > translate to english
4_: Choose the green button next to blue one and above the other three green ones to download a small file called com.gmainstaller.apk
5_: install it
6_: this apk will download a file of abt. 246MB and needs following code in the dialer which pop-ups automatically [ code: * # * # 442 # * # * ]
7_: The device automatically restart and automatically install GAPPS, after the completion of all applications please check the list.
8_: if needed after all, download separately from "apkmirror.com" following two apk's: Google Play Services and Google Play Store.
tried on two HTC D820us and works like a charm

This solution doesn't work when when the Android software is upgraded to Marshmallow. Is there an updated solution to getting gApps for the HTC Desire 820u (from China)?

I have same problem..please

Play Store - full howto

Here is an instruction how to install Play Store (and Play Services) on Chinese version of Nokia N1
DISCLAIMER: you're doing it on your own risk, it can probably even eat your kitten
Credits should go to rumambo who has described everything in this thread.
Original credits from rumambo:
Thanks a lot sadfrog_lin for right link
Great Thanks social-design-concepts for Tools and working solution !!!
This was successfully done by me on A5CN507 build. IMO it should work the same good on other versions of Lollipop, but I cannot promise anything.
Prerequisites
I assume that you have Intel Drivers up and running http://opensource.dell.com/releases...ition/FlashTool/IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.5.0.exe
I assume that you have adb/fastboot up and running http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
I assume that you have usb debugging enabled
I assume that yu have a basic knowledge how to use these tools
Installing GApps
Download GApps from this thread. I have used Nano version for Android 5.x, direct link here.
Copy it to your sdcard (any method is fine, but adb will do: adb push <filename> /sdcard/).
Download and extract IntelAndroid-FBRL-05-16-2015.7z.
Connect N1 via USB and run launcher.bat
Type ACCEPT (all capital) and select T4 method.
N1 should reboot and do a lot of things, then you should end up in temporary CWM Recovery session.
Choose install zip (volume up/down + power to select) and find and select the previously uploaded file.
After it finish reboot the tablet
Final fixes
After reboot you should have initial selection of Google Apps (including Play Store) installed. However Play Music will crash on start and GMail won't work (Play Services crashes). The reason for that is that GApps package is probably not fully prepared for x86 - but now you can simply fix it.
Go to ApkMirror and install Google Play services with -470 suffix, it is Lollipop x86 version (on the time of writing this the newest version was here ). Now both Play Music and GMail should work correctly.
An another issue is that Play Store reporting some apps (like Chrome, Google Maps, Google Earth, Chromecast, etc) as incompatible with the device. It probably could be fixed by hacking build.prop, however I haven't had time for it yet. The easiest method is to download them from ApkMirror and side install. Drawback is that you won't get autoupdates for them.
Enjoy!

This really works! Thanks a lot.
After the installation, a few days later I found out that there was an update for N1. I could not make the update successfully. Probably the GAPP issue. So in the end, we still need the Taiwan ROM so far. So that the system update can also be made.

I installed GAPPS, but disabled root(in SuperSU's settings). I can run the OTA update (A5CN51C) successfully.
After the update, "google service is stopped" appears again. I think re-flush GAPPS and SuperSU is needed.

bricked
Hi Guys,
after the issue with the update I started replacing new files with the originals from the previous update. I've checked md5 of every file I used and compared it with update script from the new update - so I'm sure every file was correct. Actually everything was working fine with these original files.
However after the update I got a boot-loop. If I remember correctly it was something abt OpenGL in logcat. I was not able to run recovery by pressing volume up and power, but since adb was working I did it via adb. I came with an idea to clear user data. That was mistake!
Now I still have the boot-loop but developer mode was disabled by cleaning the data. My plan is to reflash with A5CN507 which contains a full system partition image. To do so I need to boot into recovery or download mode.
Do you guys have any ideas how to boot into recovery or download mode if volume up (and down) doesn't work?
Thanks in advance.

Can confirm the boot loop. I was able to get into the CMW session again and tried to restore the backup I made before installing the gapps but CMW got stuck while restoring the system partition.
The device is now stuck in the "Powerd by Android" screen, any help is warmly welcome

Can't root by the method after update to latest 5.1.1 firmware. Pls update the method

After the update to 5.1.1 I get an error from the Play Services: Wrong archticture ( x86, x86_64). Does anyone know were I can get a APK for the x86_64 Play Services?

Thank you,
I tried that, it didn't work - it says "waiting for device", but it waits forever. As to the Fastboot Tethered recovery launcher, this time I used the one from Jul, 27, before I had an earlier version. Could it be that the older version would work, but not the latest one? It does recognize my device, but it says unauthorized, although it OEM-unlocked and USB debugging is authorized. Thanks for any help.

and that's the end of it, good night N1
Since my N1 is still bricked, hung halfway through bootloading, I talked to an Android-Repair-shop. They said it cannot be unbricked, I would need a new motherboard... but motherboards for the N1 are not available.
Does anyone hv better news?

Hi,
so I came back to the problem today - and I managed to unbrick my device. Somehow (vol-up + power) I managed to enter fastboot. Then I rebooted into recovery and sideloaded a full update.zip with 701.
Now I'm trying to change Chinese version to Taiwanese one.

my nokia n1 stuck
my Nokia n1 stuck at boot screen i lost my recovery too my tablet only open at fastboot mode.Pls HELP
i need boot.img and recovery.img for NOKIA N1(A5CNS1C)

Problem updating Huawei Mediapad M2-A01LV100R001C100B006 4G SIM Unlocked - NL

Hi,
Goal is to upgrade my M2, I believe it has a modem because it is able to receive SMS, 4G network, etc...
One thing is missing, calling functionality, dialer stuff ... is this hardware or firmware (or driver not installed)?
Can somebody please confirm or know how these things work?
So I want to upgrade because, I just want to be up to date, new android!
No updates are available if I try the official via EMUI Update way... online at Huawei nothing is available either (they refer to EMUI). It says most current version.
But then I read people from other European countries do have updates installed, 'same' model ... WTF?!?
Version / model : M2-A01L / 2GB
* Everything is still factory.
* EMUI : 3.1
* Android : 5.1.1
* Custom version : CUSTC100D002
* Bootloader version : V100R001C00B000_FASTBOOT
* Kernel version : M2-A01LV100R001C100B006_BOOT
* AP : M2-A01LV100R001C100B006_SYSTEM
* CP Version / baseband : 21.600.20.00.010(balong)
* Cust Version : Cversion:C100 DVersion002
So first things first reading different posts and tutorials about updating:
* https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m2/how-to/guide-official-updates-m2-tablet-root-t3589363
* https://forum.xda-developers.com/me...om-official-manual-updates-m2-tablet-t3595211
Im already stuck at the official steps:
1 - On tablet created folder : InternalStorage/HwOUC placed M2-A01LV100R001C100B007.zip and rename in update.zip
2 - Turn off , Reboot device (not connected to laptop) , should automatically install update above. Nothing happens.
So lets try bootloader maybe I can choose to update from folder or something. Nope, just 3 options, (reboot:wipe cache:factory)
Strange... Im wondering
1 - If they disabled something so updating is not possible at all?
2 - Other possibility in the forum, update.app in dload... people mention the process got stuck on 2%. Can you get back to original, it just fails or do you need to do a factory reset to get a working tablet again?
3 - What steps to take to make sure you can always... yes, always get back to your factory firmware when updating.
4 - Then I was reading about simply download to a full firmware (not an update)
HUAWEI_MediaPad+M2+10.0_M2-A01L_Firmware_Android+5.1.1_EMUI+3.1_V100R001C100B010CUSTC100D001_Germany_Spain_Belgium.zip
Not Netherlands... Im not 100% confident this is the way to go. Last part of the filename D001_German... mine is D002, so, aaargh
I hope you can guide me and help me updating. I dont know much about this, is it really chipset, hardware or just software (compilation) stuff...

Making progress ... step:
0 - Back to factory settings, yes wipe that thing and let's see... then:
1 -
a - Unpacked M2-A01LV100R001C100B007.zip placed in internal storage/dload. Settings > Update > menu > local update. Package found, rebooting, installing, SUCCESS, rebooting again.
b - Open Settings > About Tablet > look at buildnr... A01LV100R001C100B006 didn't change, huh. repeated steps above...
Lets's see what happens if go to OTA-M2-A01LV100R001C100B010.zip, same steps... and after updating process. nothing changed, still the same ... A01LV100R001C100B006 ...
So somehow the manual local update looks into dload folder > changes the boot procedure to update > then looks into a factory prepped setting > updates to its original and no version change.
Edit:
Placed file 007 in internal storage > dload , powered off , then I did :
Vol + UP and Vol - Down and PowerOn buttons, waited until I got the installing EMUI screen.
Nope, nothing changed.

YESSSSS , SUCCESS :good: read!!! (and above)
- Tablet (bought in the Netherlands) - Huawei M2 10" - A01L :
* Custom version : CUSTC100D002
* Bootloader version : V100R001C00B000_FASTBOOT
* Kernel version : M2-A01LV100R001C100B006_BOOT
* AP : M2-A01LV100R001C100B006_SYSTEM
This is what I did :
- Factory reset, tried to update B006 -> B007 -> B010, nothing seemed to be changed although it said success ...
- Not rooted, no TWRP, not Developer or Manufacturer mode... just basic.
Then downloaded rom in this topic :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m2/development/rom-m2-a01l-lte-premium-stock-t3624094
Huawei 10 - M2 A01L - B010 LTE file
- sdcard in tablet (not internal storage)
- create folder dload
- unzip file (above) and place the contents of the extracted file and its subfolder dload into this.
- the folder contained file UPDATE.APP and hw folder. Total size 3.3GB.
- Power down
- Unplug all cables
- Check if you have sufficient power >50%
- VolUp + and VolDown - and PowerOn, wait until EMUI Install screen, takes around 15-20seconds.
- Install starts until finished, 15minutes. Slow progress.
- Looks like it hangs on 99% but wait for success
Et voila, from B006 -> B010 and yes, including dialer... made a phonecall...
Next is rooting...

As I was saying... ROOTING, success again.. what ... a .... day !!!
My Steps :
0. Did above... don't forget
1. Follow these steps and pay 4 credits : Steps to Unlock, Recovery and Root
- Manufacturer mode to get the unlock code, back to hiSuite mode
- Command line tools for windows : ADB and fastboot
- Follow the exact procedure , step 18.
2. Troubles finding the files you need:

After using molocale2, I set it in Japanese, but most of the menus are still in English. Only the menu of Google is in japanese. Unable to use properly.Also, can you tell me how this ROM was modified?
Thanks
In addition, the ROM has a bug, when the input *1973461# into the System info menu, will be black screen, no display, the touch failed.

the menu languahe in the vision-setting.apk
if you add new language. you should modify vision-setting.apk
and add translated strings.
it cannot system.img write directly. because latest system.img not opened.
I just copy latest rom files to system.img

I'm very sorry :<

Hi,
I tried to update using the A2.rar file. This file seems to be password protected. 55933 seems to work here.
--
With the system image, at first I wondered how to flash this. After unpacking the file and following the instructions given in the above mentioned guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=3673945) it worked fine.
Using qfil I selected flat build, found the *firehose* file in the extracted directory and also the xml files (rawprogramm and patch) you have to select. Starting qfil phone was recognized as Hisense... at COM12 during the process it changed to Qualcomm... at COM13. I did not use adb commands (this did not work for me). For me qfil put the phone automatically in download mode.
Up to now all works fine. Menus are in english, some might be in chinese. Gapps, gmail and my old apps installed ok.
Thanks again to joygram

Password for archive is wrong?

@baistan the a2 file for the general system upgrade to 6.09.03 is hosted at a baidu site. You need the pw given by joygram to enter his baidu account. Then you have to install a baidu download client, because the file is 1.48 GB. The file itsself is a .rar archive, which is password protected. I googled the file and found a chinese hisense fans forum. Here a file with the same name was posted. pw was given with 55933
So you need two passwords.
The new rom is only chinese / english and has no gapps.
Joygrams system.img installed fine. GoogleApps workt about two days for me, now it crashed and does not start any more, maybe because of a playstore update. This seems to be common. Maybe this issue can be solved.
Here a google drive linke to the file (makes it easier) https://drive.google.com/open?id=11anmiy8FEQNbVzu9kbS72WKFr-zmHope

Have not got playstore to run again,
flashed the A2 rom again
and use f-droid; uptodown and/or yalp store to install apps.

Thank you
Do you think it is possible to install " 7.0 or CYANOGEN MULTILINGUE " with the support of the " E-INK " screen?

That I cann not tell you. I am no developer, sadly.
I do not know if anyone got TWRP running on this phone. I know, that it is possible to customize TWRP, there are examples on youtube, but I do not know if I am able to do it.
For me it would be interesting to flash gapps. I don´t know if you can do this using qpst.
I hope there is some development for this phone in the future.

the ROM "JOYGRAM" is in English and Chinese!
By against the Playstore works very well you do not turn off your phone!
from the moment you turned off your phone the factory "Google Play Services" !!
Ducout you must be very careful never to crash and do not repel if the application that works with "Google Play Services" (youtube, play store, gmail, etc ...) no longer works!
we are unable to delete the account [email protected] and "conscious"
I think he should root the phone and add Google Play Service and Play Store!
but I do not know how to sit for root on HISENSE!
I would like to find a charitable soul who could help me carry a Rom Stock 6.0 from Google and add on Driver and E-Ink!
or take the ROM of the HISENSE A2PRO 7.0 Nougat and change it for the Hisense A2 because unless I'm wrong there is not much difference between the 2 phones!
PS: "JOYGRAM" recommend this for translation: you may want to set the language in Japan, French etc ...
this language in the Vision-Setting.apk
I tried to edit this file.
but the system does not start, so I stopped.
but some can stay.
1. Copy Vision-Setting.apk to pc
Use decompile with apktool
3. add a new language in the res and translate the language
4. repack the copy in system.img
I wrote system.img with the Linux system mount in the virtual machine.
I can not do perfact system.img because there is no last system.img.

Good evening "OF_Ge_72"
think you can put on google the other version available on fans.hisense because being in France it is impossible for me to download the possible version available on fans.hisense !
because to answer and to Download on Fans.hisense it is necessary to register with a number of Chinese telephone and it is the same for Baidu !
A huge thank you for all

How To Guide [Guide] Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 MIUI12/13 ROOT Step-by-step - Pass SafetyNet, Widevine L1

Everything you do, you do at your own risk. I'm not responsible for all damages, this can also lead to loss of warranty.
Hi,
Probably many of you know how to do a Magisk install without TWRP, but this guide is for people who don't know and don't want to mess things up.
I will try to show you step by step how to do it.
Many thanks to:
kdrag0n
topjohnwu
Leave them a nice feedback
!!! Before we start make sure your device is unlocked, if you don't know how to do it below is link to official Xiaomi guide !!!
https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html
Requirement
Xiaomi Mi Flash ver. =>3-14-0 - Needed to install all adb drivers Download
ADB & Fastboot tools - Could be the one built into Mi Flash tool I'll use this to make it simple
Magisk =>24.2 - This software is base of our rooting process Download
SafetyNet Fix => 2.2.1 (Zygisk) - Needed to backdoor SafetyNet fail check, at the moment it is only working method for Mi Pad 5 Download Make sure you download the Zygisk version!
Boot.img - You can download from official MIUI website full flashable rom and separate boot.img file from there, or use my if your Miui version is China 13.0.5, EEA 13.0.3, Global 13.0.1
China 13.0.5​EEA 13.0.3​Global 13.0.1​​​Installation
To make it easier, Green color mean what you need to do on Tablet, Orange on PC
Unzip Mi Flash tool
Open folder and run XiaoMiFlash.exe, if window "Driver" won't pop-up click on the Driver tab and then "Install" button and close all windows.
Connect your tablet to computer, when your tablet ask how you want use USB, choose File Transfer/Android Auto
Copy to internal storage Magisk-v****.apk, safetynet-fix-v****.zip and boot.img
Open File Manager on your tablet find a folder where you copied all files, and install Magisk
Open Magisk app, and click on Install in section Magisk, then select "Select and Path a File", after that find your boot.img file and click on it
Click "LET'S GO" button on the right side and wait until process will be finished
On your computer in the tablet's storage window, go to the file specified in the application probably /Download/magisk_patched-*****
Copy this file to a subfolder of Mi Flash on your computer, exactly to MiFlash2020-3-14-0\Source\ThirdParty\Google\Android and change the name of this file to boot.img
Open PowerShell/Windows Terminal in this folder (Hold Shift + Right click -> Open PowerShell window here)
Make sure your tablet have enabled USB debugging in Developer options Setting -> Additional settings -> Developer options -> USB debugging
Turn off your tablet, then hold down Power and VOL- until the screen lights up, then release power button, if Fastboot appears, everything went fine
Go back to your Terminal window and type to check if your computer see your tablet
Code:
./fastboot.exe devices
If you see answer "******** fastboot" it mean there is communication between PC and Tablet
Next type this command to flash patched boot image
Code:
./fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
Next type this command to reboot your device
Code:
./fastboot.exe reboot
Restart can take a longer time than normal
Open Magisk app and check status of Magisk, if you see for exaple "Installed 24.2 (24200)" everything went fine
Open Settings in right corner of app and in section App click on Hide the Magisk app then type name for hidden app, it will ask to install new app so do it
Open again Magisk app and open Settings in section Magisk enable Zygisk (Beta) and Enforce DenyList
Click on Configure DenyList than click on three dots in right corner and uncheck Show system apps
Search for all the apps in the list below and check them. It is important to click on their name to see all modules, once you have done this click on the box to activate all of them
Code:
Google
Google Assistant (I have two)
Google Pay
Google Play services
Google Play Store
After that reboot your tablet, and open again Magisk app
On the bottom click on Modules
Click on Install from storage button and find file safetynet-fix-v*******.zip, than click on it
After that reboot your device one more time
After reboot open Android Settings go to Apps and Unhide system services than find and clear all data of Google Play services and Google Play Store
Reboot tablet last time
If you have reached this point it means that everything has gone correctly, probably for about 3 hours you will still not be able to install Netflix and some banking applications but after this time everything will be back to normal, this is because Google's servers have detected that Magisk has been installed but that the application has been changed and Zygisk has been enabled so at the next check it notices that everything is Ok and gives access back.
Quick explaination what happend here:
Magisk has been installed and device is Rooted
The application has been changed and hidden
Zygisk has been activated and hidden from Google services
SafetyNet-fix was installed, which restores the functionality of SafetyNet and Widevine L1, which is blocked after the installation of Magisk and unlocked Bootloader

Hello,
(I use google translate).
Thanks for your method. Before using it, I would like to ask you a few questions.
I have already rooted a few devices (mipad 1, mi phone, htc...) with my macbook and twrp.
The adb files are already installed on my mac.
1) once the pad 5 is rooted, should I, like on my phone, patch the new boot.img file with each update?
2) Could I install the twrp application afterwards to be able to do a complete backup of the system and possibly install a version of lineageos later?
3) Is there a version of miflash unlock tool for mac os x?
4) Should I register or register on the xioami site before unlocking the boot?
Thank you in advance for your method and your answers.

Hi Nux01,
1. Unfortunately yes, TWRP isn't supported for Pad 5 yet.
2. It won't work, TWRP app is only making a request to TWRP custom recovery, until it doesn't exist you can't even install custom ROM
3. It is, but i didn't test it yet on Pad 5, and I don't know if it will work with new decides because last release is from 20.07.2020.
https://github.com/francescotescari/XiaoMiToolV2/releases
4. Yes, you need Xiaomi account, also your device has to be logged in, and registered to unlock, Xiaomi made complete guide how to do this, link is on the top of this post.

Hello,
Thank you for your quick reply.
The latest version of Mitool does not work. On the other hand, with regard to version 20.7.21, it's OK.
What does it mean: "I do not know if it will work with new decides".
And to unlock the bootloader, I have to use the Xiaomitool V2 application?
Thanks again.

I mean it's quite old release so it may not work with current unlock bootloader process on new devices like a Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi Pad 5 etc. I can't promise it won't brick your device, only confirmed method is by official Xiaomi tool.

Thank you
I'll wait a little bit before rooting my tablet.
Have a nice day.

Followed the instruction, worked like a charm. Although I had unknown "chinese sings" errors with the driver install it worked. By the way there is a newer version of the flashing tool.
Thanks for the effort of writing this down!

Hello,
I just managed to unlock the bootloader of my tablet "Pad 5".
I tried under Mac and Linux with Xiaomitool V2 without success (error 20036 and 20045).
I also tried with VirtualBox who did not recognize the tablet.
I succeeded with VMware and Windows 7 by testing different drivers and it worked.
I just root the tablet with Magisk.
On the other hand, is there the equivalent of TWRP to make a complete system backup. Apart from Titanium and MyBackup.
Thanks for your help.

thanks dude.
didn't try this yet, just wondering.
can't i just flash recovery and then flash magisk.apk?
thanks

You can update, but after that you need root again but with boot.img from 13.0.2

How to get the boot.img 13.0.2? I checked the 3GB Firmware and only found vendor_boot.img. Is it the same thing?

Never mind. I got the boot.img from here: https://miuirom.org/tablets/xiaomi-pad-5

Hey there.
I have done everything above and i MIGHT have some problem. The problem with my problem is that its not really reproducable easily even for me.... Weird, I know!
Lets go into details:
Issue description: When I reboot my tablet it goes into "MIUI Recovery" window, on which I am offered to reboot the device or clean.... And when I reboot it goes back to the recovery screen again. Like a loop-hole.
....
But then if I leave it untouched for several minutes it reboots itself and launches the system properly finally...
When did it start: It first started after I performed this step:
24. Click on Install from storage button and find file safetynet-fix-v*******.zip, than click on it
25. After that reboot your device one more time
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I finally landed in the system I of course continued and performed further steps. After another reboot in step 27 the same thing happened but much, much longer.
I thought it somehow self fixed and works - once I am in the system. Right? So I did a reboot to test it. And no... recovery screen again for another 20 or so minutes until finally MIUI loaded fully.
Now I am afraid to turn off / reboot my tablet... I am afraid it might never finish booting next time.
Any ideas whats wrong and how to fix this weird and irregular behaviour?
My details:
Device: Xiaomi Pad 5 6/256gb
Original system was Chinese. I have reinstalled to Global one a version ago.
MIUI version currently running: 13.0.3(RKXMIXM)
Android version: 11 RKQ1.200826.002
Magisk version: 25.1 (25100) (32)
Magisk Modules: Universal SafetyNet Fix v2.2.1 (yes I made sure to download around Zygisk section)
Anything else I shall provide?

I also have this module installed without problems, as there is no recovey for Pad5, it is a good idea to install in magisk the module Magisk Bootloop Protector, which serves exactly to prevent what you are afraid that happen with your tablet
