[17:32] <zaki> hey pavlushka 
[17:33] <pavlushka> hello zaki 
[17:34] <pavlushka> zaki: whole day no electricity (they said maintenance) but I guess they just re-install windows :p
[17:34] <zaki> he he :D 
[17:34] <pavlushka> zaki: rooted my android, lets see
[17:34] <zaki> on this friday ?
[17:35] <zaki> pavlushka, which phone you use now? 
[17:35] <pavlushka> zaki: yeah, since Thursday night
[17:35] <pavlushka> zaki: walton medium grade
[17:36] <zaki> oh
[17:39] <pavlushka> zaki: now I can install busybox and can uninstall unwanted system apps
[17:39] <zaki> pavlushka, yes
[17:39] <pavlushka> zaki: and with busybox you can use it almost like a linux sys
[17:39] <zaki> pavlushka, I tried on my a2 lite following some thread from XDA
[17:40] <zaki> but I failed . 
[17:40] <pavlushka> zaki: so? succeeded?
[17:40] <pavlushka> zaki: I failed few times in the past
[17:41] <zaki> I can unlock my phone successfully and can install oficial twrp for a2 lite 
[17:41] <zaki> but it goes to bootloop 
[17:41] <pavlushka> but yesterday I was like in a mission, even risking it to break and thread didn't helped me, I did
[17:41] <pavlushka> zaki: I had to innovate to make it work
[17:42] <pavlushka> zaki: if I root it, the OTA stops -> system update
[17:43] <pavlushka> zaki: so I unroot it, updated the system and then again root it with intuition
[17:43] <zaki> those xda thread ar tried on android 8 but I updated my a2 lite to android 9 last month before official update . I guess that can cause the bootloop 
[17:43] <zaki> not sure
[17:43] <pavlushka> zaki: coz I got the idea how it works and even a forcible way to make it work
[17:44] <pavlushka> zaki: oh yeas, first thing is backup
[17:44] <pavlushka> zaki: adb and fastboot can help you a lot and al;so in rooting
[17:45] <zaki> pavlushka, my phone automatically backup everything 
[17:45] <pavlushka> zaki: I rooted my device on a linux env, past experience was only with windows, coz the master GUI tools were only available to windows
[17:45] <pavlushka> zaki: where?
[17:46] <zaki> google 
[17:46] <pavlushka> zaki: I meant backing up everything to desktop.Laptop before starting the root process
[17:46] <zaki> pavlushka, I also used adb , it's great 
[17:48] <zaki> other xioami phone you have to wait 3 days to complete unlocking process 
[17:48] <zaki> but android one phone are just 2 command away from unlocking bootloader 
[17:49] <zaki> but it erase everything 
[17:49]  * pavlushka whispers backup
[17:50] <zaki> he he 
[17:50] <zaki> pavlushka, I only take backup of my musics 
[17:54] <zaki> pavlushka, my main goal was to install Gcam and try google night sight feature 
[18:02] <pavlushka> zaki: do these needs root?
[18:02] <pavlushka> need
[18:03] <zaki> yeah. cz need to enable camera to api module for Manuel photography or etc
[18:03] <pavlushka> wow
[18:03] <zaki> need twrp & magisk too. 
[18:04] <pavlushka> zaki: I worked with those tools
[18:05] <zaki> pavlushka, I tried this on my previous redmi phone and worked 
[18:05] <zaki> that one was MIUI 
[18:05] <pavlushka> zaki: never told
[18:06] <zaki> but I thought this one would be more easy cz this is stock android 
[18:06] <zaki> but nah
[18:07] <pavlushka> zaki: unlocked oem bootloader first?
[18:07] <zaki> pavlushka, I unlocked redmi 4 prime, installed some patch to upgrade audio/voice recording performance 
[18:07] <pavlushka> cool
[18:07] <zaki> pavlushka, yes , that's too easy 
[18:07] <zaki> like adb oem unlock 
[18:08] <zaki> ./fastboot oem unlock 
[18:08] <zaki> :D 
[18:08] <zaki> work like magic :D 
[18:08] <pavlushka> yes but that will only work if you check the unlock option in the developer settings
[18:09] <pavlushka> zaki: got it
[18:09] <zaki> than I temporary boot twrp and flash it permanently 
[18:09] <pavlushka> that means bootloader was not locked
[18:11] <zaki> pavlushka, what?
[18:12] <pavlushka> zaki: most of the brand phones had their bootloader locked, so "fastboot oem unlock" does not work
[18:13] <pavlushka> or even flashing a new bootloader as well
[18:13] <zaki> pavlushka, you have to 1st check the oem unlocking option at the developer settings you know it
[18:13] <zaki> i've done all that properly 
[18:14] <zaki> oem unlocking works well. 
[18:14] <zaki> but problem happen upter flashing twrp
[18:14] <pavlushka> zaki: that means bootloader was not locked in that model
[18:19] <zaki> bootloader was locked 
[18:19] <zaki> I unlocked it through adb command 
[18:21] <pavlushka> zaki: in my case with the option unchecked in developer options, that command didn't worked, said process failed
[18:22] <pavlushka> zaki: then i had to reboot to system and checked that option and the that command worked
[18:22] <pavlushka> *then
[18:24] <zaki> yes that's the way
[18:26] <zaki> pavlushka, there's also a patch for preventing that bootloop for redmi phone but it didn't work for me. 
[18:26] <pavlushka> zaki: that's what I was saying
[18:26] <zaki> don't know 
[18:26] <pavlushka> zaki:  me neither ;p
[18:28] <zaki> pavlushka, at some point I destroyed my recovery environment  too. :3 
[18:28] <zaki> then I had to re install whole image using a flashing tool 
[18:30] <pavlushka> zaki: happened to me also
[18:30] <pavlushka> thank goodness I had the stock rom
[18:32] <zaki> oh pavlushka then I while flashing rom I used old android 8 firmware after that my sim 1 and 2 logically swapped :D 
[18:32] <zaki> and sim 2 was not working well. unable to receive signal 
[18:33] <zaki> it was nightmare last wk 
[18:39] <pavlushka> zaki: you can back up your device imie using mobileuncle but need to be root first
[18:40] <zaki> imie?
[18:44] <pavlushka> imei
[19:05] <zaki> ah
[20:01] <zaki> pavlushka, good night
