M8 Rom To E8

Hello guys. I want to ask can we flash a M8 rom to E8?
They both have the same hardwares on them. So is it possible?

No. Not without certain tweaks anyway, because their model numbers etc differ. And also the camera module is different. They don't have exactly similar hardware.

Yeeah you are right. But the developers can build the roms based on M8 easily right?

I'm not a developer to comment on that. But yes I guess so. Only problem is we don't have many developers for this phone due to it's small reach.

Pleasure.

Do you know, what needs to be adjusted?
I would love to see a custom rom for my E8 (M8Sn) and cannot find anyone who is able to help me.
It is the singleSIM version from Germany.

Unfortunately I don't. There are a few people on our forums here, CaptainThrowback and DutchDanny. They are familiar with development. Try asking them. Or contact a dev from M8 forums and ask instead, if they are free enough, they might guide you.

I'm trying to build miui 8 for e8 ? watch out!

so easy

Tell Cyanogenmod devs that you want CM on Zenfone 3

Hey there !
I opened a thread on the "device request" section of Cyanogenmod's forum. Please visit and tell them how much you'd love to have CM on Zenfone 3. More we will be, more chances we have to motivate some skillfull guy to port CM on our phones
https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/131454-zenfone-3-ze552kl/
Thank you guys

And for ZE520KL too...

Stop trolling! Zenfone 3 is not rootable! Without root no CM. When Zenfone 3 will be rooted, than maybe we will have CM

You are both correct and incorrect.
Some Zenfone 3 can be rooted but not all versions.
Thanks to Asus's insanity for giving the same name to phones with different hardware and software, you can't make a blanket statement about the Zenfone 3 and cover all the models (outside of they all are phones and sold under the Asus brand). The ZE versions are indeed rootable but the ZC versions are hit and miss.

For ZC551KL too, its a low budget phone and the only alternative to Huawei/Honor in canada. STOP MAKING CNM ROMS ONLY FOR BOURGEOIS' PHONE.
Same same here, please help us. Last update simbricked the phone! They released a downgrade and now no more update.
Asus makes great phones with ****ty software. Great opportunity as a side dish to be the frst one ever to release a rom!
Please cyanogen team, we have no viable alternative as vanilla rom is crap.

I have the ZE520KL version. But I'm not able to root it. Su tells me to update binary but it fail. I unlocked the boot loader and flashed the twrp recovery. Then flashed the root files with su. Have I missed some necessary step?
Would be nice if someone can help. Cause I really want xposed back on my new phone.

This is irrelevant to the current topic. Create a new one for assistance with your own problem.

Not that we know.

EU rom questions

ToneLa said:
It's not only the best phone I've ever used, I think it's clearly far & away the best in class for a phone today and I genuinely want it to raise bars for what's possible with the hardware. As a package, it's remarkable. Best in class overall & in many areas.
I just love it. Nothing is a disappointment. Getting on the xiaomi.eu ROM negated the ill effects of importing a deGoogled phone. It's reliable, charges in ludicrously quick time, is a fantastic camera, seems unofficially pretty splashproof. Feels good, looks good, sounds good, works with everything
Yes, it gets five snowflakes

Interesting, I just got mine and was thinking about jumping on that eu rom as well, do you know if its an official rom or if its unsupported? and how will we get updates if we use it?

based on official, but not official. They do updates over the air normally but not til TWRP is ready. They're a solid group, used them before when I had a Mi 9. From a readme:
> Xiaomi Europe was founded [...] to provide [...] an exlcusive community for English MIUI Android and Xiaomi products. Since 2010 our web site has officially worked with Xiaomi on a variety of projects for APP translations and bug fixing and is a major part of today's Xiaomi Global ROM experience thanks to the great team at xiaomi.eu and its community.

trust them.

Get yourself on to the EU ROM. I know it's going to take a week to get unlocked but it's well worth while. The EU ROM makes this a superb phone and I've come from a Huawei P40 Pro plus that photographically may be better but there is not much in it. I just love this phone now. Got a couple of cases coming and a better screen cover protector.

Ok is there a way back to getting the phone "locked" again on stock rom if i want to return ?

Why do you want it locked again? The EU ROM shows no security issues, it passed every test.
On the Chinese ROM, I couldn't use my Sky Q as it said it wasn't secure and that was before flashing. Now I can use it. Is there a reason you need it locked?
You can flash the Chinese stock ROM if you do want. I have done to test but come back to the EU version. If you need a link to the stock let me know, I did put instructions on the Xiaomi forum but can copy it here.

I mean if i want to return it to default to be able to sell it. Also 2 questions, does the windows way work or not because i read there's issues in the bat file and only linux works. I dont have access to a linux machine currently. 2nd question, when twrp is ready, until then we will have to flash ourselves until twrp is ready to be able to do OTA?

We've found a fix for the windows method which involves swapping out the fastboot. It's all there in the thread for it, I promise...this is for overall love

And if you may sell it, unless you are going to sell to a Chinese person, I think they will appreciate not having to do the change from the Chinese version.
There are warnings about relocking and the possibility of bricking but you can always flash the stock Chinese version again like I did to test it and then back to EU ROM. Unlocking will bind your Mi account to you phones hardware but this can be swapped to another user if you sell.

Ok i never unlocked a xiaomi before, so when i do this i wont need to wait for these days? just click unlock and it will be unlocked and i can go ahead?

Unfortunately not. You will have to wait 168 hours ( 1 week). No way round it as the hardware will be locked to your Mi account during the process.

fastboot for now

Or direct from them https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/20-9-3-4.57258/

What are the benefits of EU Rom? I have removed all bloat on China ROM and it's doing fine. Just having and issue of high power consumption of Google Play Services and mdnsd.

See attached screenshots. Plus battery lasts longer, no issues with notification and it reports it's fully secure. For me, it refused to run skyq as the app said it was not secure. Using the EU ROM, it's happy. Have a look at the attached.

How long does Xiaomi normally support their devices? How many "Major" android upgrades do the provide? Like from 10 to 11? And if we went through the EU Rom route will they provide updates for longer?

Before i buy a Galaxy S10e, i want to know...

Is there any chance for this phone to get an official custom version of android?
Like PixelExperience, Paranoid or Lineage OS
Since the phone is alrd more than 1 year old, and i would like to keep it for a long time

Look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...eageos-17-1-beta0-s10e-update-t4076585/page92
There are more custom roms in the same thread.

SD bootloader cannot be unlocked, so no custom roms have been developed for the s10e with SD as far as I know.
