I have try only in M3K1 but Is the same device generally (MT6797D 64 gb Internal 4gb ram android 8 + playstore)
better try via fastboot

aosp 8.1 was more stable,but after the latest update (build v112) aosp 9 works very well
we are expecting and new update of aosp 9 these days....So,if you want to install it is better to wait for the newest build I think ...

What is better about this ROM than the Stock ROM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
....this depends on what custom rom you are talking about & your device model - stock rom
some advantages of aosp phh 8.1 (or 9) from teclast M20_4G stock rom
stock rom on M20_4G is android oreo 8 - without updates & support anymore
this aosp phh is oreo 8.1 (or newer-latest android pie9)
security : stock firmware has sec patch 2018 - this 8.1 (or pie9) gets monthly updates (bug fixes + sec patch 2019)
features : this aosp phh is pure stock android
& more like as : root access,better performance,battery management etc...

!DISCLAIMER!
Most people I know (including myself) who used my Guides and steps, did that with success many times. If you don't follow exactly the steps or you do a mistake during the process, I do not take any responsibility for any unexpected results or damage that may happen. However I am here to help if something goes wrong, just ask in the thread.
AMD RYZEN/INTEL FASTBOOT FIX
Some AMD Ryzen or Intel Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. Try the following ways:
1. Install Fastboot Drivers (Extract the folder for windows 10) at Device Manager while your device is connected in Fastboot mode.
2. Download this .bat file (unzip it) or manually create a .bat file with these lines below, and run it as an administrator, then reboot:
Code:
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "osvc" /t REG_BINARY /d "0000" /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "SkipContainerIdQuery" /t REG_BINARY /d "01000000" /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "SkipBOSDescriptorQuery" /t REG_BINARY /d "01000000" /f
3. Enable USB Debugging at device (Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > USB Debugging) and give authorization after connecting it to PC.
4. Use USB Hub.
5. Use USB Type-A 2.0.
6. Install AMD Ryzen Chipset Drivers or Intel Chipset Drivers.
Check the steps an another user did to make it work here.
If this doesn't help, unfortunately you have to use Intel System which is more likely to work.
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
Note: Some AMD Ryzen Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. [Read the AMD Fastboot Fix Guide above]
Please keep in mind by Unlocking Bootloader the device will reset and all your data will be lost. Make a backup of your data first to PC or to USB.
1. Create a Mi account on Xiaomi’s website.
2. Add a phone number to your Mi account.
3. Insert a SIM into your phone (If you haven't added already). [Do not insert 2 SIM, only 1 until the Bootloader is unlocked. If you have 2 SIM into your phone, remove 1 and reboot.]
4. Enable developer options in Settings > About Phone by repeatedly tapping (7 times) on MIUI Version.
5. Link the device to your Mi account in Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > Mi Unlock status. Also enable USB Debugging.
6. Download the Mi Unlock app (Windows is required to run the app).
7. Run the Mi Unlock app and follow the instructions provided by the app.
8. Reboot your device into Fastboot mode. For that simply turn off your device, press the Power Button + Volume Down (–) button at the same time. Then connect the device to the Windows PC/laptop via a micro USB cable.
9. After device and Mi account are successfully verified, the Bootloader should be Unlocked and your device will restart by itself.
INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY
Fastboot Method (No Custom Recovery currently installed)
Note: Some AMD Ryzen Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. [Read the AMD Fastboot Fix Guide above]
1. Make sure your Bootloader is Unlocked.
2. Enable developer options in Settings > About Phone by repeatedly tapping (7 times) on MIUI Version.
3. Enable USB Debugging in Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > USB Debugging.
4. Download a custom recovery of your choice and copy the .img to your Internal Storage or to SDCard. [You can find a recovery of your choice in my Collection]
5. Download the portable Minimal ADB and Fastboot and run cmd.exe
6. Reboot to Fastboot mode by pressing Power Button + Volume Down (–) and keep holding both buttons until the word “FASTBOOT” appears on the screen, then release.
7. Once the device is in Fastboot mode, connect your device to PC and verify you can find it by typying in cmd: fastboot devices.
8. Boot into Recovery by typing in cmd: fastboot boot <recovery_filename>.img (The file may not be named identically to what stands in this command, so adjust accordingly and write the full path of it, check the example below).
This command will not flash permantly the recovery, it will just temporary boot into it and afterwards you will flash permantly the twrp.img you copied into your Internal Storage or SDcard in recovery partition.
For example:
Code:
fastboot boot C:\Users\Retrial\Desktop\twrp-beryllium-v3.7.0-A12-V2.img
9. Now into TWRP, press Install > Install Image > Locate & Select the twrp.img you previously downloaded and copied from PC into your Internal Storage or to your SDcard > Choose Recovery and Flash!
10. Go back into Home page of TWRP and press Reboot to Recovery or manually by holding Power Button + Volume Up (+) until you boot to Recovery.
11. Done! You now have a new Custom Recovery installed.
Recovery Method (Custom Recovery already installed or booted)
1. Download a custom recovery of your choice. [You can find a recovery of your choice in my Collection]
2. Reboot to Recovery by holding Power Button + Volume Up (+).
3. Press Install > Install Image.
4. Locate the recovery.img you recently downloaded.
5. Select it and choose the option Recovery and Flash.

Make sure you Wiped everything and Formated Data (format data not just wipe) except external SDCard and USB OTG.
Flash only the ROM (without GApps and Magisk) and check if the problem persists. If yes, flash another ROM.
Try other GApps package.
If nothing helps, go back to stock and start from scratch.
Note: You can also Flash Custom ROM using ADB sideload Method.
What is System_EXT? Check out here.
You can also do the same steps below to install Stock MIUI Recovery ROM.
1. Backup all your data to PC or to external SDCard. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost on step 7 while Formating Data or Wiping Internal Storage]
2. Unlock Bootloader. [Read the Unlock Bootloader Guide above]
3. Download: [You can find everything in my Collection]
Custom Recovery of your choice. [Recommened to use Unofficial TWRP by REIGNZ3 (A12_System_Ext) for A12L+ ROMs]
Custom ROM of your choice.
GApps (be sure you have selected Platform: ARMx64 and the proper Android version of the ROM you are going to flash) if the ROM you are going to flash does not include. [Optional]
Magisk Root. [Optional]
Disable Force Encryption or Encryption. [Optional] (Read DFE & Encryption Guide above)
4. Move all these files in one folder to your PC or to External SDCard if you have one.
5. Install Custom Recovery. [Read the Install Custom Recovery Guide above]
6. Reboot to Recovery Power Button + Volume Up (+)
7. Installation:
Steps without external SDCard:
Select Wipe > Advanced Wipe
Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, System_Ext, Data, Internal Storage, Vendor, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Go back > Press Reboot > Reboot to Recovery again. [That step needed for the next step of formating the data because TWRP by REIGNZ have issue]
Go back and select Wipe > Format Data > type yes [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Connect your device to PC while you are on TWRP and transfer into Internal Storage, the ROM, GApps etc. and the files you want to flash.
Flash ROM > GApps [Optional]
[Optional] Mount Vendor and Flash DFE [Optional - Not Recommended] or Encryption [Optional] (Read DFE & Encryption Guide above)
Reboot Enjoy!
[Optional] If you want to root, reboot once again to TWRP Recovery and flash Magisk then reboot to system and enjoy!
Steps with external SDCard:
go to Advanced > File Manager > External_SD and delete all folders in ur ext sd card (For example you should delete: Android, .android_secure, LOST.DIR, DCIM, etc) except your personal files/folders and the folder with your custom ROM/Gapps/Magisk/DFE or Encryption you want to flash.
Each app on your phone with the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission may create files or folders in ur sdcard. Most of these folders have once been created by one of these apps and many of them may be deleted with a few exceptions (e.g. Android, .data, .android_secure, these contain important system or app data like a game's downloaded content):
.android_secure: apps installed and then moved to sdcard
Android: app data/cache
data: app data
.estrongs: ES file manager
LOST.DIR: sort of trash folder (collects recovered files after phone crashes)
DCIM: phone gallery's photos and previews
OTA-update: Over The Air update service
ppy_cross: an unknown third-party app's data.
So I recommend to delete them so you can put your phone/sdcard in a clean state and is guaranteed to be able to re-create these folders.
Select Advanced Wipe
Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, System_Ext, Data, Internal Storage, Vendor, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Go back > Press Reboot > Reboot to Recovery again. [That step needed for the next step of formating the data because TWRP by REIGNZ have issue]
Go back and select Wipe > Format Data > type yes [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Flash ROM > GApps [Optional]
[Optional] Mount Vendor and Flash DFE [Optional - Not Recommended] or Encryption [Optional] (Read DFE & Encryption Guide above)
Reboot Enjoy!
[Optional] If you want to root, reboot once again to TWRP Recovery and flash Magisk then reboot to system and enjoy!
DIRTY INSTALL YOUR CUSTOM ROM
Note: Before you start flashing, keep in mind the ROM you dirty flashing MUST be the same with the one you have already installed.
1. Make a full nandroid backup, just in case something goes wrong. You can use TWRP to do that. (TWRP > Backup > Select everything) [Optional]
2. Remove all Magisk modules. [Optional]
3. Reboot to TWRP and Wipe Dalvik / ART Cache, System, System_Ext, Vendor, Cache.
4. Flash the ROM > GApps [Optional] > Magisk [Optional]
5. [Optional] Mount Vendor and Flash DFE [Optional - Not Recommended] or Encryption [Optional] (Read DFE & Encryption Guide above)

MAGISK ROOT
The easiest way to root your device is via Magisk, it should work in all ROMs, Stock and Customs.
Install Magisk:
1. Install latest TWRP Recovery. [Read the Install Custom Recovery Guide above]2. Download the Magisk [You can find it in my Collection]3. Reboot to TWRP Recovery by pressing Power Button + Volume Up (+) and flash it.4. Reboot and check whether the Magisk app is installed. If it isn’t installed automatically, manually install the APK. [You can find it in my Collection]Note#1: From Official TWRP Recovery 3.5.1 and onwards (and other recoveries based on that), Magisk.apk can be flashed as apk without the need of rename it to .zip. So you can simply flash the Magisk.apk in TWRP.Manually Creation of Flashable Zip:Download the latest Magisk APK and rename the Magisk.apk → Magisk.zip.Note#2: If your bank apps detect root, follow this Guide.
Uninstall Magisk:
Flash the Uninstall.zip in TWRP Recovery and reboot. [You can find it my Collection]
If Magisk App isn’t uninstalled automatically, manually uninstall the app.
Manually creation of Flashable Uninstall Zip:
Download the latest Magisk APK and rename the Magisk.apk → uninstall.zip
Uninstall Magisk directly through the Magisk app. Simply press the Uninstall button.
Note: If your apps detect root, follow this Guide (or this) to pass SafetyNet and have certified Play Store. [YouTube Video Guide]
DISABLE FORCE ENCRYPTION (DFE) & ENCRYPTION
[You can find it in my Collection]
Disable Force Encryption
Disable Force Encryption (a.k.a DFE) is flashed during installation of a custom ROM to avoid the system encrypting /data partition when the devices boot for the first time.Some ROMs are not encrypted by default and so is not necessary to flash DFE. However if your ROM comes with encryption by default you can always flash DFE after clean installation of ROM and always after every update or flash or you can use any custom recovery like OrangeFox, Pitchblack, Skyhawk Recovery Project which can automatic flash DFE after every flash.I don't recommended to use DFE if you don't switch ROMs frequently and you are casual user. Beside the fact that if you lose your device your data are not protected, many people get in confusion while doing OTA or manually updates, which if the ROM is encrypted by default and flashed DFE and in next update you forget to flash DFE you will lock out from your data and you wil get into bootloop (use custom recoveries mentioned above to avoid that).
Encryption
Encrypted ROMs are recommended if you are stable and casual user of a ROM. Encryption have the benefit to protect your data, in case you lose your device for example. Always use the latest TWRP Recovery so you can be able to decrypt the data by filling the same lock screen password you have set in ROM.Some ROMs are not encrypted by default but devs provide an Encryption.zip (script) which can encrypt the ROM. Same as DFE you need to flash it after clean installation of ROM and always after every update to stay encrypted and not get into bootloop. Unfortunatly there is not any custom recovery automatic doing that like with DFE, so you must be careful, avoid doing OTA updates and flash it every time you manually update a ROM.

Battery Replacment (Video)
Recommended Battery: NOHON for POCO F1 (AliExpress)
Advanced Guide
Simple Battery & Charging Tips
Improve your SOT
Battery Calibration
Method 1
Steps:
1. Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
2. Turn it on again and let it turn itself off.
3. Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
4. Turn your phone on. It's likely that the battery indicator won't say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on-screen as well.
5. Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
6. Repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without it being plugged in.
Method 2
Notes: It won't dramatically extend battery life, but it will give your old battery at least 30 minutes additional run time.
Steps:
1. Get "GSam or Ampere" from the Google Play Store.
2. Launch the app and fully charge your phone. (Important: Only proceed with the calibration when the word "Full" appears in GSam or Ampere.)
3. While your phone is still connected to the cable reboot your phone to recovery mode, open file manager and navigate to "/data/system" and delete "batterystats.bin," "batterystats-checkin.bin," and "batterystats-daily.xml."
4. Reboot your phone (while it is still plugged in) and charge it until it reads "full" on GSam or Ampere.
5. Unplug the cable and use your phone normally until it shuts down (0 percent )
6. Charge your phone to 100% while it is turned off.
7. Boot into os and plug in your phone and charge it until it says "full" on the GSam or Ampere.
8. Unplug and have fun!
Battery Capacity Health
Notes:
1) Before checking the battery health, charge the device to 100%.
2) Check charge counter values and consider first 4 digits from left as your battery capacity in mAh. And check charge counter. (Charge counter/level)*100 is the battery capacity.
To find battery capacity in Windows:
Enable Developer options in your device.
Enable USB Debugging in your device.
Conect your device to PC and give permissions.
Open Minimal ADB (run cmd.exe) or Platform tools.
Type "adb shell dumpsys battery" command in Minimal ADB or Platform tools.
To find battery capacity in Android (Terminal) - Root needed:
Download an android terminal app like Termux,
Open terminal and type: cat/sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_full
Overheating
Following reasons will lead to device heating issue:
During the initial setup after purchase or when restoring data.
Downloading large files.
Using apps that require more power or using apps for extended periods such as:
Playing high-quality games for long time.
Recording videos for extended periods.
Streaming videos while using the maximum brightness setting.
Using the Screen Mirroring / Smart View feature (connecting mobile to a TV).
While multitasking or when running many apps in the background i.e:
Using Multi window.
Updating or installing apps while recording videos.
Downloading large files during a video call.
Recording videos while using a navigation app.
Large amount of data for syncing with the cloud, email, or other accounts.
Exposing device under sunlight when temperature is high around you.
Extensive usage of mobile hotspot and tethering feature.
Using device in areas with weak signals or no reception or in roaming network.
Charging the battery with a damaged / unapproved USB cable.
Device's multipurpose jack is damaged or exposed to foreign materials, such as liquid, dust, metal powder, and pencil lead.
Solution:
Turn off Wi-fi, GPS , bluetooth and other connectivity options when not in use by dragging the notification panel.
Decrease screen brightness.
Close background running applications.
Too many applications installed in device may result in device heating since their corresponding process will keep on running in background. It is advised to uninstall un-necessary apps if not using them.
Avoid using apps like GPS, data dependent apps or graphic intensive games for longer duration since they require more energy to function, causing device to heat.
It is advised not to use device while charging as it may cause the device to over heat.
General:
DO:
Use manual brightness or dim the screen.
Turn off notifications for apps you don't use. Better still, delete/disable the apps entirely if you don't need them.
Enable battery or power saving mode when you want to extend your battery life.
Use the power adapter that came with your phone. Other chargers can charge slowly/faster but they can also damage your phone or battery.
Turn off bluetooth, location tracking, and Wi-Fi (unless you are actively using it)
Turn off print services from bluetooth connection preferences.
Avoid extremes of heat and cold. If your phone gets very hot or cold it can strain the battery and shorten it's lifespan.
DON'T:
Have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi turned on constantly.
Leave apps running in the background. Instead restrict background usage off apps that you don't need running.
Push email means your device is always listening for new email which drains alot of battery.
Drain your phone battery all the way to 0% or charging it all the way to 100%. Keep it between 20% - 90% for longer battery lifespan.
The more advanced the graphics and animations are (games, videos, photos, animations), the harder the processor and graphics chip in your smartphone have to work. More activity means more battery use.

General:
Always prefer Open Source or well popular Programs, Apps, ROMs, Kernels & Stuff.
Open Source doesn't mean it's 100% safe but it's unlikely to have something suspicious, since you and other users can check the code in GitHub or in any other code hosting platform the "stuff" is hosted. You can also find and use FOSS apps at F-Droid or at Droid-ify (Recommended).
Prefer ROMs & Kernels with SELinux Enforcing. You can find informations here.
Always download and install Apps, Programs, ROMs & Stuff from official sources and do not use redirection links from different sites. Google is your friend to find the official source of the stuff you want.
Always check the permissions an app requires, before download and install it to your device. If an app ask for permissions which has nothing to do with the app functionality then it's should be reconsider or ask the developer why these permissions needed.
You can also check if the app includes trackers and ads with εxodus.
If you want to avoid Google and Play Store (De-Google), you can choose a ROM without GApps preinstalled like LineageOS and use Droid-ify client which is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device. Note that not all apps from Play Store will be available in Droid-ify or F-Droid. Only Open Source projects. You can find alternatives though.
Alternative you can use LineageOS for microG or any ROM which support signature spoofing and can support microG and use Aurora Store.
For Windows use the default Windows Defender & Malwarebytes to scan your files whenever you want (Prefered before open or install them). Also use the addon/extension uBlock Origin in your Browser. These should be enough for normal users. You can also use the tool ShutUP10++ or Privacy.Sexy to disable major tracking features of Windows.
For Android Do not use any antivirus - antimalware since it's useless, just check what apps and from where you installing.
Always verify the source of addons/extensions in your browser. Avoid installing random and unpopular addons/extensions. Keep it minimal and clean, so browser can be fast and safe, no need bunch of extensions.
If you are using VPN, always check the terms and rules of the provider. Avoid random VPN Services.
Recommended VPN Services.
Using a VPN will not keep your browsing habits anonymous, nor will it add additional security to non-secure (HTTP) traffic.
Recommended is to encrypt your data/files always before uploading them to cloud with tools like Cryptomator.
Always use unique and strong passwords for each of your accounts.
Use awarded open source Password Managers like KeePass or KeePassXC for Desktop and KeePassDX for Android to manage your passwords and have them with you safe, encrypted and secure. Must be noted you can use the same database file between these programs.
Always enable 2 Step Authentication wherever is available for your accounts.
You can use apps like Aegis Authenticator.
Do not open or click on links attached in unknown emails or SMS you may get. Always check the address of the email or the number of SMS and verify it's legit from the official source.
Create and use "burned" email for accounts/sites you have concerns but you definitely want to try them. Do not use your personal or business email. You can also create and use email aliases of your email with SimpleLogin which is open source and awesome service.

Try to do factory reset (firstly save all your personal data to PC or to external SDCard). 12.0.2 and general all the latest miui updates are full of bugs and slow down your device. Also the chances to get new android version in miui are very low. I will not talk about security and tracking.
I recommended you to move away from miui and use a custom rom of your choice. :fingers-crossed:
Awesome thread, everything at one place. Thanks man.
You have gathered so much collective information at one place. It will be helpful if we found which Roms are from Pixel Ports and supports Google photos free unlimited high quality storage.
OP, this is a godsend! Thank you so so much. Any idea what settings I should be using for the most "pixel like" photos on parrots gcam?

I don't know but you can try the latest port of Parrot or use Sanitys or BSG ports. Try and find out which is the best for you You can also try to ask on Photography thread.

Yes new pixel phones will not have this advantage. (New pixel phones which ain't even launched yet)
But we have some roms which are ported from existing pixel phones like Pixel 3 and Pixel 4.
I got to know that Awaken OS based on Android 11 is detecting as Pixel 4 in Google photos. I'm not sure, I personally didn't install it yet.
I'm sure about some Roms and Ports like Pixel Rom and Pixel 4 xl ports are obviously detecting as Pixel 4 and they are enjoying new Google Assistant and Google One features as well.

I personally use Pixel Experience the Plus Edition. It's stable and ready out of the box.
However there a lot of nice ROMs, you check them in my collection and decide which fit for you.

Well the thing is we don't know yet if POCO F1 detecting as Pixel 4 in Google Security is enough to bypass and trick Google to have unlimited storage. We need to wait till June 1st, 2021 which this change will take place. Until then, the storage remain unlimited.

Did not solve the problem so far. Wifi is even broken after restoring the los 12.1 backup which worked before
Edit: uploaded logcat
Ok, i reflashed the old carliv recovery via fastboot after installing Los13 and i got wifi back ...
And afterwards i flashed twrp again via fastboot and wifi is still working...
Previously i flashed the twrp zip from carliv, i guess this was part of the problem
reflashing recoveries in fastboot not worked for me :/
I also wiped everything including internal storage before, and bootet into each of the two recoveries and to the system from there.
Maybe the carliv recovery changes some things on the system, idk.
Hi, I am so glad that this is still alive project
I upgraded recovery via mtk flesher. Just rename twrp 3.1.1... into recover.img and click "download".
My wifi and bluetooth are working. Sometimes bluetooth have conflict with wifi and plain reboot fix things.
It is strange that not a single one sensor work(acceleration and gravity, magnetic field, orientation and rotation. They all worked in 12.1 beside rotation. Hope thing are going to get fixed up.
Had a few freezes also(hard reset do the job)
Overall I have a feeling that this is smoother than 12.1.
EDIT: It was misleading about recovery flash. You need to extract from twrp_3.1.1_ME173X.zip "recovery.img" and replace in folder where scatter file with old "recovery.image" is.

edit: Flashed old recovery trough Flash Tool, than TWRP in Flash tool wipe all what i can and then install LOS 13. Wifi working like a charm
Any chance you can help with source patches?
First of all thanks to snapdragon for the new LOS13 support.
I'm sorry to tell you that all of your mentioned ways to get WiFi back to work did not work for me. What I did and what I tried:
Normal installation way:
Flashed new recovery via old custom recovery
complete wipe
flashed new LOS13 via new TWRP recovery
WiFi not working!
Going back to old custom recovery and back to TWRP
Flashed old custom recovery via TWRP
complete wipe
flashed new TWRP custom recovery via adb sideload since my sd card can only be mounted via new TWRP recovery
complete wipe
flashed new LOS13
WiFi still not work!
This is all I did. I realized that fastbood mode is not working for my device, could be a driver problem since my device is installed as ùó something when plugging it into the pc in fastboot mode, so I tried the way via adb.
Hint: I have the model with the alternative hardware, so the second kernel is required to fix flickering display issue.
I realized that the new TWRP recovery has this issue aswell, so my display is flickering from the right side to the center sometimes in TWRP recovery.
Any ideas what could help getting WiFi back to work?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Could it be that this WiFi problem has something to do with the following thread:
FIX FOR MAC 02:00:00:00:00(WiFi and hotspot not turning ON)
Important. Root required..... Hey everyone,I saw so many posts regarding Android & iOS that the Mac address is changing to 02:00:00:00:00 and WiFi is greyed out. None of the WiFi or hotspot not turning on.I get the same problem in my Condor and...
forum.xda-developers.com
I read over some postings and googled the mac address 02.00.00.00.00 and it seems that a lot of devices had this problem when updating from android 5 to 6. It seems that it could have something to do with the partitions where the info (mac address, IMEI) are stored, but in general I have not found a solution and a specific description of the problem.
Anyway: If the problem can be solved by doing the steps described in the thread I provided above I’m not able to solve this. I would not describe me as a noob, but it seems that I need root and knowledge of permission management for the fix, and I am not very familiar with Linux.
Could you do the following test:
In twrp:
Full wipes ( system, etc etc and internal storage) be sure you back up your stuff
Then reboot to recovery
( It'll warn there's no OS installed)
Back to recovery
Do full wipes again , plug the tab into pc and copy the rom to internal storage
Reboot to recovery again
( It'll warn again, there's no OS installed)
Proceed to flash the rom
This has worked with a user
Issue: for an unknown reason some devices seems to fail mounting / reading nvram
@ twrp I'll do a build for people with this second hardware revision, flickering is annoying...
Thanks for your fast reply.
I did two full wipes with rebooting into recovery after each wipe as you said, then I copied the OS zip file to internal storage and rebooted again to recovery.
After installing the ROM I rebootet to system and LineageOS was preparing the first start. I started without flashing the kernel for alternative hardware (2nd kernel) to check if it works first.
I'm sorry to tell you that I still got no WiFi and Bluetooth connections, Mac address still is shown as 02-00-00-00-00, WiFi cannot be turned on.
Edit: Seems that is has nothing to do with wipes (on my device). I've tried all kind of wipes via TWRP
Format Data -> yes -> reboot to recovery
Advanced Wipe -> check all (Davlik, Cache, Data, Internal Storage, System -> Again format data -> Yes -> reboot to recovery
flashed ROM, 2nd Kernel and GApps -> Reboot to recovery -> reboot to system
Still no WiFi. Perhaps I should try to go back to stock rom and see if WiFi works there? Do you think this could make the deal?
test this
full wipes
flash rom, then this kernel afterwards

Again, thanks for your efforts, it seems to be a really tough and bugging one, since the new kernel did also not fix the problem.
Edit: Just to keep u updated: I just flashed old recovery and afterwords old LineageOS 12, WiFi is working well. So there must be some problem with the update or the update process. I will try to wipe first and then install new recovery and again install new OS, perhaps this will do the job.
Edit2: BTW I forgot to tell you that I had problems with settings -> about tablet -> status on lineageos 12. Just remembered because i wanted to have a look to the mac address. I get an error telling me "unfortunately, settings has stop". Perhaps important for the update?
Important Edit3:
Guess what: I made it to work. I did the following to do it:
1. Format Data and do all wipes possible with TWRP recovery. Reboot to recovery and do the same again.
2. TWRP recovery -> install old recovery
3. In old recovery -> install via sideload (adb sideload) lineageOS12 and second Kernel (for me because of hardware)
4. Boot to system and check if WiFi works well (finish the initialization of the device and connect to a WiFi)
5. Boot to recovery (old recovery) -> WITHOUT WIPING install via sideload TWRP recovery
6. Boot to system. (Still lineageos12) check if WiFi still works
7. Boot to TWRP recovery -> WITHOUT WIPING install lineageos13.
8. Boot to system, finish initialization if necessary and check if WiFi still works.
9. Go to setting and do a factory reset from lineageos13 settings
10. Device will reboot to recovery and do the factory reset and automatically will boot back into system.
11. Finish. All should work now.
I don't know what exactly did the job, so I wanted to provide all steps I did.
Since I never flashed an android custom Rom over another without wiping I don't know what errors this procedure can cause. So if someone knows that please let me now that I can have a look if there are errors.
Thanks again for your assistance.
