Hey Team,
I finally got rid of the pesky Samsung S6 Edge. Bought the OP2 because of stock android and bigger screen etc. I have a couple of questions
1-) Mine is A2001 chinese model (which is same as other models), does the rooting method + custom roms work on it just like the normal models ?? (i.e the rom in the development section)
2-) Link to Root / flash twrp ? i can see a tool kit in the dev section. Is it stable ?
3-) is it safe to charge it from my PS4 ? i normal charge my phones when using my ps4
4-) Is the phone safe to flash / tinker with ? (of course i will know what i am doing )
1, Yes
2, don't know about the tool kit, but i would advise you learn about fastboot and ADB and download the android sdk, as all the tools are in there and you will have better knowledge to fix things if it goes wrong.
3, safe yes, but will charge very very slow i would guess. just use the charger.
4, yes of course its safe, and as you said its the chinese version, i would make sure you get yourself a stock oxygen os rom on it right away, to get rid of any malware that might be on it. (depending on where you purchased the device from of course)
+1 on all the answers by RossMacgill.
BTW, I think you missed the sticky at the top of this section:

How do you correctly identify Redmi 2?
I've got a RM2 that has the 2014811 variant when I check it onscreen.. But I'm skeptic that it's correct. All I know is 2014811 is suppose to be a normal Redmi 2 with 1 gigs of RAM and 8 gigs of ROM. But mine's a 2 gigs RAM & 16 gigs ROM. If I'm correct, with specs like those, my RM2 is suppose to be a RM2 enchanced variant (Pro, Prime, etc). What I can't figure out is which variant is it that I'm dealing with. Another thing that I know is that the RM2 version of mine isn't the global one because I didn't buy it from an official shop, I bought it from an external distributor. The RM 2 box is written in chinese and the characters underneath the battery are full chinese (except for the S/N and IMEI). Is my RM 2 a 2014818 or 2014819? How can I find out which variant is it that I have with me.
Thank you.
2014819- Brazilian variants
2014818- Redmi 2 prime variation of 2014811

Guys thanks for your replies. After intensive research, I have concluded that: yes, my device is totally a WT88047 - HM201411 - HM 2 LTE-CU (China Unicom) variant. But now I've found out something else that's got me hooked up on finding out. I'm using latest stable stock rom (MIUI 8 - 8.2.1.0), and I checked out my Mi-Account menu in settings, snooped down to devices and... My RM2P is named Redmi 2W..... So... What the heck is Redmi 2W? I've been searching here and there with no luck on finding out what a Redmi 2W is (Haven't checked the chinese sites though). Does anyone know what it is?

what's your purpose, flashing custom roms? simply flash twrp for wt88047 and flash whichever rom you want

Just take a backup your current ROM by t.w.r.p before flashing ROM(if something goes wrong).

I've got: touchscreen issues, wake up issues, twrp issues, kernel issues and proximity issues. I'm guessing even if I tell you what I'm experiencing, you won't be able to find a solution for it (please don't say I've got defective hardware, because I don't. Why? Because 3 of my friends bought the same device as mine, in the same online shop and all of them have the same issues). But even so I'll just post all of em and cross my fingers:
TWRP's bugged, needs to timeout (screen off) first before I'm able to responsively use it (touchscreen bugged, tried all latest TWRP versions, including kumajaya's old twrp builds. Touchscreen does work on several 2.8.7.0 and below versions for KK bootloader).
Any custom rom I've flashed will always face lockscreen issues (waking up device using power button leads to unresponsive and un-swipe-able touchscreen, that means I can't unlock my device, seems like it has to do with with proximity too, and please don't ask me about gestures and modified navigation buttons, because I don't use them at all: dt2w, s2w, etc).
Any custom kernel used will always lead to device not being able to wake up (pressing power button doesn't wake up the screen, stays black, have to reset device by force, still happens even though I'm using stock CPU govs *interactive* and I/O scheds *noop* not using hotplugs, doesn't change anything)
I still even face all those problems in Stock MIUI (KK or LP.. 7, 8)
Try downloading china developer ROM? Yeah. I've done that.. Even went to the Chinese download page of miui to download the exact recommended MIUI 8 C-Dev ROM for my HM 2 LTE-CU variant, and still the same bugs occur.
Xposed? I've experimented using stock and custom roms (below API 24) that are Un-Xposed. They still exhibit the same problems as above.
Clean flash dirty flash? I totally understand what those are.
Wipe dalvik cache and cache.. Don't even dare ask about those.
Fix Permissions? Yeah.. It didnt make a difference..
Post dmseg and logcats? Trust me, you devs will probably mark my device as a different type of WT8847 (and by saying that means even if you succeed to find the problems, to fix them means you gotta totally change the 'insides' of roms and stuff to make it compatible with mine. It'll probably be a waste of time if I post those 2 guys here.
Can you help me, bro?

Yeah, I know where you're getting at bro. Let me ask you this, does it not annoy you to death when you're restoring the same backup ROMs frequently just because suddenly your device can't use wi-fi (bugged) or tether, or maybe one of the issues above occur and you just gotta try your best to keep it 'clean'.. again.. and again.. and again? I just need a damn good daily driver without issues for crying out loud :cyclops:

that's all are happening 'cause of source code modification of lineage from cyanogen which caused your device unfavorable base code modification, only thing can be done is flash stock rom, bootloader, recovery, modem, everything using fastboot.

So in other words "bye-bye" to custom roms right? I'm in latest stable global miui 8 btw (LP), I clean flashed it via download mode, those problems still show up though. Okay let me just try to flash miui via fastboot or download mode again.

yeah, after problem bring fixed completely, you can come back to custom roms.
Hi guys, I tried installing LineageOS 2 days ago, and I wasn't smart enough to backup before doing so.... twrp can't install LineageOS on my device, and now I got no OS. I tried installing lots and lots of OS, including the original stock rom, but there's always some error that stops me from doing so. When trying to install the official stock ROM, using huawei's recovery, I get a cust error. TWRP also gets an error, when installing any rom, probably because it's an outdated version, but I can't get any other version to work.
Any help or is it dead?

Can anyone provide me the instructions or steps in details on how to install custom ROM on my phone?
Thank you.

For me, custom roms on Android Pie are much more stable than custom roms on Android 10, Better try those roms. Also you can try flashing those roms that you are interested and make some time to explore its features if it suits to your likes :good:

I think you were using THE OFFICIAL ANDROID 10 BETA. Try rolling back to pie. Go to the official website and search for "downgrade to 9" on the firmware list and follow the instructions.
And, you unlocked the bootloader using which method, the official method or unofficial method ?
I mean, did you download the unlocker from the official website or some where else ?

Sorry for bothering with that topic again, but I'm more than confused on the information i found here and on the Internet.
So, I have a older P10 plus and it had needed to be replaced by a new phone because of some strange behavior that are reported by other users as well (Phone reboots for sudden when using camera and after reboot battery capacity dramatically decreased).
Because of that, and because i think this is a glitch in the Huawei EMUI i want to try LinageOS or any other Custom ROM on the phone.
First i recognize that i need to unlock the Bootloader, okay lets assume their is a solution for the bootloader problem, but now the confusion starts.
Firstly i didn't find any detailed installation guide for the installation of LinageOS, second some sides mentioned its possible (without any facts) some mentioned it's totally impossible to install any Custom ROM on that phone.
So, can anybody provide some updates on that topic and secondly, can come of you support me to install a Custom ROM on that phone ??
Help highly appriciated
Many thanks !!!
