[Q] Update problem

Hello! I got my Mi3 a few days ago and I'm having some issues. Some apps that I really need won't be installed because of compatibility issues. For that reason I wanted to root or at least update the phone, via the miui site.
However, my phone seem to be lacking some crucial elements. Such as the app called Update. I've been watching some videos on how to update the Mi3, and they use an app in the system folder called Update. And it doesn't exist on my phone. And when I enter the "about phone" in Settings and press the update button at the bottom, it just crashes to the homescreen.
I've tried the way of downloading the update file, developer rom, from the miui site, renaming it "update.zip" and putting it in the root directory, remove cache and booting from the update file. But it says the update file doesn't exist, even though I've put it where it's supposed to be.
Any suggestions? This is really bugging me.
Android version 4.3 JLS36C
MIUI version MIUI-JXDCNBD14.0
Thanks

Is it genuine or fake as it sounds like it could be a fake. Or maybe your just doing sonething wrong

How do I know if it's fake? Seems real.

Downloaded CPU-Z. It does have the Snapdragon 801, Qualcomm MSM 8974. 2,27 GHz. The specs are as they should, many languages available. Market works fine. The performance is really good and smooth. It's just that it's missing update app and the tutorials for updating it won't work for me. (Watched a video showing a fake Mi3, it had the wrong cpu, fewer languages, Market didn't work, and so on)
Edit: Downloaded the Xiaomi app "anti-fake", and it confirmed that I have a genuine version, although the IMEI and Serial Number didn't exist in their sales records. Bought the phone from aliexpress, that might be why.
Everything works as it should, except for the update thingy.

Yeah I tried method 1 and 2 and they wouldn't work. I might try the third option someday, but some comments mentioned issues so I'm a bit cautios with that one yet.

just download a stable recovery rom and flash it using Miflash.exe
Obviously make sure its the correct ROM for your phone.
i've used method 3 a few times now and it does work but it isn't the easiest method to understand. the pictures do help though.

Xiaomi's hardware is so delicate that there are cases of phone's display breaking inside jeans. Should i need to say about phone anymore? To avoid such instance Use Custom ROM enabled phone with Cyanogen.

Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro! Help!!!

I recently bought this phone from a website that is from my country (Romania), not from China and i don't know if it has the latest firmware on it.It has Android 6.0.1 with android security patch level September 1,2016. If i check for updates,it doesn't find any. My baseband version is A9100ZCU1API2. What i'm trying to say is that i don't know if the guys from the website put on the phone a custom rom or not,because if they did there are chances that the phone will never receive software updates and that's my concern. For example, if i buy the phone from China, will it come with google services installed? Because my phone has google play store on it. I don't know if i should download the latest firmware from sammobile and install it with Odin, but the phone might have the bootloader locked or some other stuff and it can't install the firmware and i will be left with the phone bricked or stuck in dowload mode...What do you guys say, should i let it like this for a while and wait for android 7 maybe or it's fine to reinstall the firmware from sammobile?And if i reinstall the firmware will i have google services on it? Thank you!

If you have factory room, you should already got the notification about new FW, as API3 is ancient. I believe latest is AQB2 and Nougat room is in testing phase..
What's saying in Settings/About/SW info/Build number?
SM-A9100

I attached a picture with my build number.My main question is if i can reinstall the firmware with odin and that i won't have any surprises...

It's newest build, and I believe it's factory default, so you'll get Nougat directly once it is out
SM-A9100

If i go to settings at the status device tab,it says Official....

I have one more question...Why i can't receive notifications from whatsapp,facebook/messenger, etc.... I think this is a problem on phones that come from China or don't have an international software support.... Is it because Google is not supported officialy on this kind of devices or what is the problem? Be for i got the A9, i had a Leeco Le Max 2 and it had the same problem with the notifications

You need to disable power optimization for these apps, this option pops up from time to time, or you can find it in smart manager, under power options or something. Can not give you exact location as we don't have same SW versions
SM-A9100

I don't have that option...i know what are you talking about but i can't find apps optimisation...

Hi Scrapperr,
Sorry to see you're having trouble with such a great phone
I've had the same issue you're describing - the software looks 'untouched' and 'legit' - but it's not, it has been tampered with, just check your Knox counter and you'll see what I mean (https://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-check-knox-and-samsung-official-status.874951/).
App optimization is hidden in Settings / Battery / Detail - once you have the apps listed, select the app that has issues with Notification and go with 'App power saving' - 'Turned off'.
It probably won't work - unfortunately.
I ended up using t'shock's ROM - https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/development/rom-basicplus-1-t3587455 (BasicPlus) - very stable, good battery life, notifications working , but you might have issues with the SD cards - does not recognize cards larger than 32 GB and you might need to format them, in order to be usable with the phone.
If you go with the newest ROM available - listed on https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a9--/SM-A9100/, you'll notice it does not have Play Store / Play Services and then you'll have to read https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/help/galaxy-a9-pro-chinese-how-to-install-t3388126
Good luck and enjoy using your phone

Hey, Megaurs, thanks for this light stock Rom proposal, somehow I missed it.
Just 2 questions, did you maybe tried Tungtata Rom in order to compare these 2, and what would be advantages of Basic room vs.Tungtata
And, if this Basic room is QB3, isn't it based on latest stock available?
SM-A9100

Hi Djurkash,
Testing Tungtata is on my ToDo list, will get to it eventually - if you get to try it, please share your experience
You're right, QB3 is the latest release, as per sammobile.com.
Cheers

[Capture+]: Quickmemo apk from V30

Quickmemo / Capture+ from G6 / G7 / V30
Hi everybody,
I am looking for the Capture+ app, which is includen in QuickMemo+ from the G6 / G7 / V30 for my V20.
I do not know why, but Capture+ in V20 does not allow long / extended screenshots, whereas on G6 and V30 does and most likely also on the G7
Coming from a lenovo p2 and used to it, taking long screenshots is very common for me and I miss that function on my V20 (H990DS with B&O).
It seems like the LGqmemoplus versions 6.1.6 (from G6) and 6.10.20 (possibly from V30) are not available on any apk-server.
Does anyone have a new quickmemo+ version?
On my phone the software updater says that I have the newest quickmemo version.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Jo

This is from v30

Thank you very much!
Just downloaded it, but unfortunately I cannot install them, as it says parsing error.

Downloading here fine.

Did you extract the apk from oreo or Nougat? Maybe that's the reason. My v20 is still running on nougat... Mi

We all have Oreo here.
Well, except for some Indian users who refuse to update. Long story.

Not trying to revive an old thread, but this will not work on Liquid Remix/Pie. I should have downloaded & backed up my notes first...

If you need it, temporarily flash back to stock Oreo with TWRP flashable zip + Magisk for your variant.
Backup what you need from there, then go back to your custom ROM.
Unless I am misunderstanding something...

No, you have it right. It's not worth the time, really. The only thing I was worried about was a list of songs to download, but that's replaceable. Thanks for answering!

How can I do that? It won't install for my Samsung either

GApp in the red magic 3?

Hi
Will I have the GApp in the RM 3 ?
If I buy a Chinese version or European version, what changes inside for the software?
Thx

If you buy Chinese version, root is needed to install Google service.

how can we root this phone ?

Yeah i saw some videos that it was impossible to install Google apps on Chinese model. Better wait for International release next week.

Chinese model can install GMS. I successfully install it using Go Google Installer after root.

Hi. I have already rooted mine, and had Playstore installed... Haven't experienced any problem so far... Here's a video of it: https://www.facebook.com/clarencedalonzo/videos/2719242894756954/

worth or not buy red magic 3?

Worth it. I think this is best smartphone for this price

International model has stock Android.
Stock Android 9 (Pie)
When you’re not gaming, the Red Magic 3 features a Stock Android 9.0 experience.
No bloatware, no pre-installed games, no overbearing skins. It’s everything you want (and nothing you don’t).

Android 11 is on the way...

Hi everybody!
As you all know, stable Android 11 is actually rolling out on Taiwanese versions of the Rog Phone 3!! The Taiwanese version is available for download on their website!
Can somebody tell if we can download this update all around the world (as the Taiwanese version is also WW) and install it safely on another WW Rog Phone 3 (here in Belgium) or we have to wait for OTA or official availability in our country???
Thanks for answers and have a nice day!!!

You can download it, I'm already using it on ww device

Nice! Perfect! Thanks!

I installed android 11 on my ROG 3 but it really drains battery so much. Any way i can roll back to a clean android 10? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

Not too sure about this but yes some vpn's aren't working.

Always use the latest version, no matter what. People complain that it drains the battery faster, while others complain that some apps are not supported.
Whenever a newer version is updated, all the apps, battery functions, and other things get updated accordingly. You cannot expect a quick update from others when the new operating system is updated.
