hi guys, I recently sent my Xiaomi MI 11 Lite 5G NE to repair for a problem with the mobile networks ... Picked up yesterday and everything works fine.
Tonight I was tweaking a bit in the settings and I realized that the model in the phone info does not match the one printed on the back of the phone!
On the back of the phone is printed 'Model: 2109119DG' and in the settings 'M2101K9G'... which corresponds to the Xiaomi MI 11 Lite ... NOT NE!
Another thing ... Checking with AIDA64 also the processor turns out to be that of the Xiaomi MI 11 Lite 5G not NE ...
Could it be because they installed a wrong motherboard? I'm going to the store tomorrow but I wanted to Hear your opinion.
Thanks a lot..
Yes, they probably replaced the motherboard with the non-NE one. You're kinda lucky and unlucky at the same time lol. The NE is a bit inferior to the Mi 11 Lite 5G, but the NE is the one widely available.

Thanks for the answer ... What would you do? I think I will send it back to repair .. again
mmm... Are you sure they just changed the motherboard? Maybe they just replaced your phone totally.
Did you check the IMEI numbers?
I was also following you regarding the mobile data issue, if the issue is gone and you don't have any issue with this non-NE mobile, I would keep it.
As your messages are from last week, just tell us what you decide and if mobile data issues are totally gone.
Thanks!
Hi Raulci ... Yes, the phone now works perfectly, I also noticed that the proximity sensor has improved. I am sure that the motherboard has been changed and not the phone cause as I said in the post, on the back of the phone is engraved the model corresponding to NE, and in the phone settings the model corresponds to non-NE (like the processor etc...). I'm pretty sure they installed a "wrong" motherboard. I went back to the shop and they told me that that is the motherboard that Xiaomi sent and they can't do anything about it. I wrote to Xiaomi assistance and they told me after some checks it turns out that the motherboard is original and correct for my model ... I know it's not a problem but this is not the way I like to work, unfortunately this is definitely the first and last experience with Xiaomi...

Sorry for the double post i can't delete the First One
Very very strange case... It's clear that the motherboard is for renoir, not lisa, but Xiaomi says it's correct, it makes no sense! Very weird.
Fortunately, I think you were lucky. Now problems are gone with your phone.
Be careful if you update MIUI manually, you should use Lisa or renoir rom? Better do it by OTA.
Thanks for your feedback.
You are lucky getting an free upgrade to 780G, which is equal to 855+
Thats strange. Its must be that xiaomi knows that they have messed up with wrong motherboard for 11 lite ne 5g with bad modems, not able to deliver performance, so this is their way of solving problems.
But any such act should be informed. User should be aware before replacement.

Say what do, do what you say... those reps need to learn some business ethics.
The OP could demand a full refund.
That's basically theft by deception.
If the substituted mobo puts you in a better position then go with it.
Dude you are literally getting a free upgrade, 778G to 780G. You should keep it.

Once upon a time,about 8 months ago,there was the little newbie me,I that old E975(lgg) and decided he should get a new phone with all those "G4's" "S6's" etc,I wanted a phone with killer specs,and the best camera out there,so I decided to go with the g4,looked up prices online on his country. Pretty damn high,so i found that one shop that sold it for like 100$ less,no official warranty,unofficial warranty for 1 year,that seems fair,I bought it,the biggest mistake i ever made, the phone was so good,it worked like a charm,and god damn that camera was awesome,about 4 months ago i was sending a whatsapp when it just got stuck on that screen,m'kay i tried restarting,won't work,removed the battery and inserted an other one,boot to lg logo and then shut down,alright, i still got warranty. time to use it,went to the store,they said "we can't fix it",worst customer support EVER,ever since that I've been using that ****ty replacement phone,ewo,so today i was really bored and decided to look up the problem and noticed my s/n begins with "505" looked it up,apparently all the g4's with that s/n got stuck eventually,and the store knows that and since my warranty is unofficial I can't do ****,or can I? is there any way to get out of this with a functioning phone?help?

Mine died yesterday. It's a hardware fault apparently and can't be fixed. You can, however, disable big cores and recover your data, but your phone will be really slow.

i was just about to cook the phone and teared it apart,i saw the whole oven thing and i thought to myself "Why the hell not" and well it should work...if it will stay the same i'll use your tutorial and probably use the really slow G4 instead of my current 2012 Huawei

Phone doesn't work really slow, if you know what to do. My phone is working since I disabled the big cores what is about 2 weeks now, I'm even on a custom ROM. All you need to do is to root it and using 'Device Control Manager' (Kernel Adiutor doesn't work for me) change the frequency what will enable all 4 cores and with 4 there is no big difference in the performance really. I feel like it's more Qualcomms fail than LG's, cuz look G4 was first phone with Snapdragon 808 wasn't it? What if the first processors they made they sent to LG as they are all now in s/n's 505-509 and what if these are faulty? It actually would make sense, with 6 cores my phone didn't even turn on, with 4 it works as normal, it means there is 'something' wrong with the two faster cores..
It's LG's fault. They have admitted such. It's a faulty connection/motherboard.
UPDATE
i've baked the phone,it works for now,how can i make sure that it'll keep working?
Replace the motherboard.
but they don't sell them on my country,and it'll cost like 400$ with shipping,and nobody replaces mobo's here,so is there any way to make this one keep working?

I'm sorry, but unfortunately you dug your own grave with that one. You may have saved yourself $100, but caused yourself major issues in the long run sacrificing that warranty.
Honestly, there is apparently no way to ensure it'll keep working. A lot of users have reported their phone dying again after LG has fixed it. A motherboard replacement is the second best option with the first being a phone other than the G4.
Hi,
Sorry for the mistakes, i'm french
I bought and received a brand new G4 (serial N°603XXX)
The very first day of using it i had a bootloop
I really think that a G4 is perfect for me now and i hesitate on what to do:
Should i send it back to the seller (he agrees to refund me 100%) to buy a new one or should i fix it?
the cons and pros:
If I send it back, i take the chance to receive a new one that will maybe do a bootloop after a few month or years while i'll have many data on it BUT, I may have a new phone that will work immediatly.
If i fix it, i'll have to send it to LG (actually, a professionnal tried to fix it through software and didn't manage to do it.... he told me that it's certainly a hardware problem)... for 2 weeks maybe and i'll have back a phone that will work but that would have already been "opened"... it's a shame for a new phone.
My opinion:
it's better to have a phone that is fixed than a new phone that will maybe die later.
Can i think that if it is fixed ,it will NEVER do a bootloop again?
What's your opinion, please?
Thanks
Mathieu:laugh:
It can't necessarily be fixed, it can only be replaced.
I had my G4 for exactly 11 months (June 2015 release date through last week) before I ended up with the bootloop problem. I got it replaced under factory warranty, but it is a manufacture's defect.
If I were you, I'd just get the G5.
to buy a new "flagship" is not an option.
i hesitate between fixing it or changing it for a new one
if they "fix" it... what do they do? they change the motherboard?
if the phone is "fixed"... am i right to think that it won't have any bootloop problem?
thanks
What is it about the G4 that makes it perfect for you? What about the V10?

V10 is to big (and not on sale in France )
with my budget and all my needs, the G4 is the phone i need (compared to all the other phone with the same price)
so... what do you think about my strategie...? is it good or am i wrong?

I say exchange it for a new G4. It's not 100% certain that all G4 phones will have bootloop issues, but it is 100% certain that the one you have right now does.
The problem is that all LG is doing is replacing motherboards, but even new motherboards may have issues, as you've witnessed. So what does a "fixed" phone really mean? They're not doing any fine soldering work to actually repair the problem. If they were, I'm sure someone would have noticed that by now and there would be DIY threads on how to fix it yourself.
I would just make it a habit to regularly make backups of your phone and be prepared in case the new G4 fails in the future.
I was one of the biggest G4 fans when it first came out since it's also everything I wanted in a phone other than the 808, but throughout the course of this week, I decided that I was over it. If I'm lucky, my replacement G4 lasts long enough for other better options to come on the market at the right price, new or used.
OK. Thank you for your answer. I thought that they would install a motherboard that DOESN'T HAVE this bootloop problem but if they do as you say (install a motherboard that may also have the problem.... There are no reason to do that)
And wich phone do you think about?

You're welcome. If LG could guarantee that you would receive a motherboard that won't ever bootloop, then it would be worth repairing the G4 you have now, but if your current G4 was built in March 2016 (serial 603, after the problem was allegedly fixed) and it still bootloops, then I don't have much confidence that LG completely figured out the problem.
If I were to replace my G4, I like the LG V10 if there is a reliable root method released for the T-Mobile US version. Otherwise, I would consider the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge only after a very big discount, so that would have to wait at least a year. I like that LG still believes in removable batteries and obviously their camera hardware and software is excellent, but they need to improve the quality and reliability of their phones. Also, the G5 is a poorly implemented concept that I really don't like, so the V10 successor needs to get everything right for LG to prove they have any idea of what they're doing anymore.
So you're telling me that all the LG G4 even the new one can have this problem and that if they try to fix it, they may install a motherboard that CAN have this problem. It's crazy.
I love this phone but I don't want a phone that can break at anytime
...! ?

It's not likely, but it's possible. Recently, some users, including you, have reported that phones with serial numbers starting with 603 and 604 have gotten bootloops as well. With the original 505 phones, these issues started happening with great frequency after half a year, so we could have to wait until later this year to find out whether or not the newly manufactured G4 phones will also start showing the same symptoms with high frequency.
I wouldn't recommend the G4 anymore either, so that's why I asked earlier what do you like about it, because you might be better off finding those features in another phone. I'm just enjoying my replacement G4 while I have it, but I no longer think it's going to be something I can keep forever, like a couple of Motorola dumbphones I still have from 2006 and 2009.
Dear all,
I am from India and today i got my Mi max. When ever i try to connect to any wifi, it says "saved" and after some minutes it says" wifi connection failure ". Just checked online and many users are also reporting the same issue. Does any one know how to resolve this issue? Already restarted my mobile as well as did factory reset. Couldn't resolve as of now. Please help.
Thanks in advance

Sounds like a bad batch according to what I've read on en.miui.com. I got my Mi Max from China and I don't have any WiFi problems.

Yep, definitely something Xiaomi screwed up and I suspect it has to do with nv_data low level configuration.
If it's not that then I am curious if problem exists in CM13.
Nothing you can do but wait for Xiaomi to fix it via update or recall all faulty devices...
Thanks for both of your replies. I hope it is a software issue and will be solved in the upcoming updates.

If it is what I think it is we might get to take a look at the Indian nv_data configuration and by comparing it with Chinese one we might have some interesting outcome.

It's a hardware issue, read the comments here
http://www.gogi.in/mi-max-wifi-issue.html
Nothing in that article points to a hardware issue as a defective chip or something. If it is then why Chinese version is not affected? Both versions hardware wise are same. Just different low level configuration which is fixable dy special software update as far as I know.
I might be wrong though... We'll see.
I received my Mi Max from flipkart yesterday and I too have the same problem. WiFi doesn't connect with any networks. Can someone please help me to resolve this issue.
Even I'm facing same issue. I updated to custom miui8 but no use. Problem persists. So is this issue hardware related then? Pls answer me. I have few more days before I can return the phone.

Just had a word with MI Customer Support, useless guys. Asking me to visit the service center to have the JobID, and then call the customer support team to arrange for a pickup for replacement. When the whole hell lot is having the problem, then why MI wants us to visit the service center, instead trying to solve the problem MI Team is bring more frustration to customers. Can somebody let me know how to sue MI in India court of law for bringing faulty products to India market without doing the basic testing.

It needs special update which will flash the partition holding the low level configuration (efs, fsg whatever). Regular ROM update even Chinese doesn't touch those partitions.
I am not sure though if it can be done OTA because that partition also holds IMEI, ESN other things that has be kept. So they might release a tool which will overwrite only faulty values.
I am only speculating based on what I know and the info we have so far, nothing more...

MIUI 8 stable, which according to customer care is dropping on 16th Aug, will fix the issues. But we know MIUI 8 will only be out on 23rd or later.
I wonder if CM13 will fix it though.

I am curious too but I highly doubt it. It's not a simple ROM issue it's more deep lower software level thing. Phones runs Android as main OS, but also runs Qualcomm AMSS as baseband OS which we don't see and which takes care of all cpu, wireless, security etc operations at chip level. Something is wrong on that level.
Hi, just bought a second hand g4 with serial number starting 509 will the phone possibly bootloop? Also the phone is the Taiwan model and I currently live in the UK, will having the Taiwan model cause any problems? Thanks
It may Bootloop it may not. There is no definite answer. You may have problems with a non EU model in the EU. They may fix it or may not. You have to ask an LG service centre about this.

If you ask if 509 is prone to Bootloop issue I think it is. Most bootloops happened on 505 though but the general consensus is the newer G4 you have the less chances for bootloop. Again there is no definite answer. We do not know the dirty details. We don't know which S/N is safe and if LG fixed the problem and from which S/N and after they did. We purely rely on public reports to draw conclusions. Up until now 6xx seems safe with only 1 or 2 ppl reported a bootloop on Reddit. Just make a backup and keep your data on the SD card. If you get a bootloop contact LG. They seem to be aware of the issue and fixing all broken phones even out of warranty some times.

In US cost of repairs alone is 200US$ cuz of morherboard replacement either that or which u can get a used g4 at the same price so even if ur bootloops there is no point of fixing it....all i can say for u is to wait for atleast an year after the bootloop so the prices fall down for repairs....there is no way u can send it to taiwan also there is no warranty n recepit thats only even if u have a friend there...
Avoiding heat
Hi all am in same boat. Got a EU H815 an 506 hw1.0 and until a week ago had never heard about bootloop issue. I've had unlocked bootloader, rooted with custom ROMs nearly whole ownership and as a result have never had any heat up issues. After reading 100s of pages of the issue my conclusion is that it seems to be heat that affects a soldered component which eventually fails. So based on this theory I'm using Kernel Adiutor to control the throttling when CPU temp gets >55degc. It is only an educated guess but does seem logical. Hope it helps others

Seems like the issue calmed down over the winter in the northern hemisphere. And now that the summer is in full bloom people are looping like crazy. Im hoping between being almost as far north as one gets in usa. So like 85 far. Is blazing here. Plus me doing the thermal mod im keeping my device cool enough to make it as i have no waranty so a mb replacement costs me about 200 dollars american.
I have a s6 and a couple other mid range devices. I wont hesitate to toss my g4 in the trash. I got mine on a trade in from my g3 i only paid like 150 for my g4 so nope not me. Unless i get one cheap.
If this was an automobile this would be a recall i dont understand why these devices arent recalled.
I saw a news cast talking about how they make devices so cheap and breakable "for the economy" why would u buy the newest devices out if your old ones are running quite perfectly they say. So this is for economic reasoning. So go ahead lg keep making s****y devices i will buy a new one but not from you.
Yea i want a g5 but i wont give more that 100 bucks for it in the fear of failure.
Like i said keep it up lg seal your economic fate........

I have a s6 and a couple other mid range devices. I wont hesitate to toss my g4 in the trash. I got mine on a trade in from my g3 i only paid like 150 for my g4 so nope not me. Unless i get one cheap.
If this was an automobile this would be a recall i dont understand why these devices arent recalled.
I saw a news cast talking about how they make devices so cheap and breakable "for the economy" why would u buy the newest devices out if your old ones are running quite perfectly they say. So this is for economic reasoning. So go ahead lg keep making s****y devices i will buy a new one but not from you.
Yea i want a g5 but i wont give more that 100 bucks for it in the fear of failure.
Like i said keep it up lg seal your economic fate........

They are always better options than LG out there...the credibility rate for lg is always has been the worst thats why there used phones are sold dirt cheap everywhere
Hi, my G4 had bootloop recently, motherboard was changed under the warranty. New motherboard was made in 04/2018. Is it known if newer motherboards still have a bootloop issues?
I cannot found any relevant informations. Maybe because nobody already have this old phone

they are all bad as far as i know. And yes, nobody has this phone as its later revisions bootlooped after warranty and its more expensive to repair this piece of crap than what it is worth even after repairing.
I have my bootlooped G4 in a drawer since 1 year ago.
I have a phone that's never bootlooped
I bought my wife a Redmi Note 8T for xmas, and unfortunately it's been an absolute nightmare to operate ever since she received it. It works perfectly after a reboot, but after a few hours or perhaps half a day of use many of the apps on the phone refuse to open, they just display an all white screen or sometimes the logo of the app, but never open fully. You can close them, or press the home button to go back to something else but that app will not open unless you reboot the phone again.
I did multiple factory resets and re-set everything up but the problem always comes back. I ended up returning it to the retailer (I'm in Australia but the retailer was overseas), but they insist they couldn't re-create the problem, and refused to tell me if they were actually using the phone for a few hours before trying the apps...they seemed to be only ever trying it out after a reboot. I won't name the retailer but their customer service is extremely poor and I certainly won't be using them again. In the end I asked them to send the phone back to me, at which point they demanded $70 to return it as "there were no issues found". I paid it, got the phone back and then cancelled the charges on my credit card just to annoy them.
Anyway...I got the phone back a couple of days ago and set it up again from scratch, MIUI 11.0.5, added my wife's google account, installed half a dozen of her apps (FB Messenger, Whatsapp, Bring shopping etc)...she used the phone for about 2 hours then Messenger and Bring refused to open with the same problem. I can only imagine it's some kind of CPU or RAM issue. It's the 4gb/64gb model so it should be very capable of handling such a light load. Model M1308C3XG.
I figured I'd cut my losses so went and bought her the Mi 9 Lite from a local retailer yesterday morning and it's been working perfectly ever since. Cost twice as much as the 8T but at least I'm not copping an earful any more!
So...I have a new 8T that's has nothing to do....figured I might unlock the bootloader and try TWRP, see if it makes any difference. Did the unlock last night but it tells me I gotta wait 168 hours. Sigh. Anyone got any ideas in the meantime feel free to throw them my way.
Hi Bro.
Me also facing this problem. I am using redmi note 8 (Indian verison)4/64GB variant
I faces the the same problem u mentioned above.
Me also reseted the mobile but the problem still occurs.
Also me unlocked the bootloader and installed the original fastboot flash ROM. But still the problem occurs.
I don't know how to solve this problem.
If you got some solutions suggest me....
Note 8T

I never did get it solved mate, but you know what's interesting is that I can't recreate the issue without a SIM inserted in the phone. I transferred the SIM into the new Mi 9 Lite and it's working fine, and I have been playing with the Note 8T without a SIM...the issue hasn't come back. So my guess is this is a fault with the GSM hardware in this model of phone...it might only happen if you're using a certain frequency which is why not everyone has the problem?
Hi, I'm having exactly the same issues, even though I changed ROM. Seems like a hardware issue. Did you manage to fix it?
