Bad sound quality (fluencetype). Permanent fix? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I am running RR 5.8.3, v. from 23-04-17.
I was forced to set fluencetype for the past few flashes to null or something, because otherwise I did not have sound during calls.
Right now the call quality is unbearably bad. It was not THAT bad on older ROMs, before I had to disable this fluence-thingie.
I want to upgrade the ROM, but what else am I supposed to improve the voice quality? I could not find a decent source.
Factory reset -> VoLTE patch -> RR ROM -> GAPPS?
Anything else? Some people wrote "updade your firmware" - how am I supposed to interpret it? Install MIUI Rom? So, like flash it from TWRP and replace it with RR 2 minutes later? I am alergic to MIUI.

Up.
Right now I am stuck on a bootloop with rom's logo. I can access TWRP and flash stuff just fine, but I cannot load the system. Restoring from backup has failed.
I have installed 7.7.7 firmware - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298969813
and booted to the system. It did not recognize my PIN and locked my card. Unlocked it with PUK on another device, but still the same.
Flashed newest RR with GAPPS and reflashed the firmware. Bootlooping begun.
Tried different ROMs, tried a different firmware - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298969055
What should be the "next step"?

I was able to fix it, but man this was my last flash of this device. My next step was to brick the device, had to start from stratch after that. Never had so many different issues... I will rot on current ROM till Pixel 2 arrives.

[Xperia P] Phone crashes shortly after successful boot - independent from ROM!?

Hi,
I have quite a serious problem with my phone.
I used stable CM11 as my ROM lately, worked nice, seemed to be ok. Now, if I want to boot my phone, it suddenly crashes as soon as I want to enter unlock code. "Funny" thing is, performing a full backup via TWRP didn't help.
So I decided to wipe everything (even sdcard) and do everything from scratch, including flashing boot.img. After flashing the ROM zip, it's still the same.
After that, I flashed boot.img from AOSP 5.1 Unstable, installed this new, different ROM (which I had successfully tested on my device before) and STILL THE SAME?!
What's going on here? It sounds a bit like defective hardware, but I never experienced a crash when I was in Recovery mode, so that's quite unplausible.
My last idea is to flash stock ftf. Perhaps this will help...

Help! Flashed Mi4 ROM and my phone is now half-broken

Hello friends,
In a moment of a severe mental handicap, I appear to have flashed a Mi4(cancro) ROM in EDL mode when I was trying to unlock my bootloader.
(The reason was that the guide I was using had a broken download link, so I searched for the filename and downloaded from one of the mirrors I found. I did not realize I was now downloading a file with a different device prefix (cancro instead of kenzo.).
So after the unavoidable brick, I was able to recover by flashing a proper Kenzo MIUI rom with disabled device checks (Since the phone now thought it was a Mi4, I guess).
MIUI is booting, but most of the functions are broken:
- No camera
- No SIM/Service
- Can't adjust brightness
- No rotation
Maybe there's more stuff broken, but I did not check every corner.
I moved on to try CM13, but that won't boot up at all (just sits there at the boot animation).
So far everything I've tried to get the phone back into a working state has failed, but I'm still getting used to this phone's specifics, so I may have missed something.
Please tell me there is something I can do.
if you can get to the recovery then WIPE everything out (system, cache,etc) then install the stock MIUI for your note3, if it booted up then you can move on to any other Rom...

Thank you. I can indeed get to recovery, but I always end up without sim card and camera when I flash an official rom.
I just tried to go back to the shop rom from geekbuying, that at least made brightness and rotation work, but still no signal/camera. I feel there's some firmware missing or was overwritten by my stupid action and now there does not seem to be a simple way to get it back up.
EDIT: So I just found out that my IMEI is gone. I will try to use a guide to re-set it. Hopefully, that will get mobile service running again. Dunno about camera, though

nothing working :(

well after somehow breaking the miui stock cam when enabling the camera2apk, and being unable to fix it by replacing build.prop, i decided to restore the backup i made in twrp earlier.
restored backup: sticks at MI logo.
tried several times, cleared caches, wiped etc etc.. will not boot after restore.
so i downloaded the stock global rom, and flashed it in twrp: sticks at MI logo. will not boot
downloaded Ressurection Remix rom, flashed that.. works fine. but i want stock or as near as possible for now.
downloaded developer miui rom, flashed that in twrp: stuck at MI logo. will not boot.
tried stock stable rom again... same story, will not boot.
downloaded Miflash, and recommended TGZ archive of ROM. followed instructions and extracted to a folder and browsed to folder with Miflash. hit "refresh"
get error "length cannot be less than zero"
tried using the "mi recovery" method (renaming rom to "update.zip" and power/vol_up)
but for whatever reason, there is no "install update" option even present.
as you can see im having a very frustrating evening. i only wanted to enable the damn google camera.
flash it by edl mode
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
is there a decent guide for that anywhere? from what ive seen it still requires miflash to be working? which it, frankly, just isnt. but then, nothing is! dont think ive ever had an evening where so many things which are supposed to work all give problems together.
i mean, i could understand if the custom rom was problematic, but its the only thing that *did* work.
404 Not found
well i managed to get a stock rom installed by downloading an older version of miflash... that didnt give any errors and installed the global rom fine.
i would love to know what could be causing all my problems though. seems everthing ive tried should work.
the one that is bugging me more than anything now is that whenever i enable the camera2api, the miui stock camera stops working ( crash on hdr, panorarama mode) and stays broken even if i remove mod.
this should not happen it seems, since there are guides for enabling this and adding the pro features to the camera from higher models.
nobody seems to have an opinion on it, which is very strange considering the number of people who must have done the camera2 mod...

I dropped miui long ago, so it is difficult to comment. However, the problem would probably be found in the settings (and/or the drivers in the system). Reinstalling a stock system image and wiping /data (and formatting it, if necessary) should solve the problem. This is, of course, a drastic step - but I would be very surprised if the problem persisted after such a step.
you have to flash lazy flasher after every MIUI stock rom flashing to be able to boot the rom...
google it "lazy flasher'

Poco F1 in a dead end after hours of trial and errors.

As tittle says, I have been in XDA for a while, never created an account cause I have always encountered responses to all my problems there. But not this time. I have created an account just to ask you people if someone knows (or had) this problem.
I have been getting touchscreen problems since a while (I dont know if it was caused by a custom kernel I changed months ago, or by touchscreen needing a replacement). Then the problem with WebView happend, but after trying to fix it by OTA, reinstalling WebView, clearing cache of google apps and few other things, apps kept closing randomly, and with the touchscreen failing, it was a real pain, so I downloaded a few roms and saved all my data, then went to TWRP. I updated it to 3.5.2_10-0-beryllium before anything, and flashed vendor, firmware and ROM GLOBAL_V12.0.3.0.QEJMIXM_cf3fccffce_10.0. Here begins the brick. I cannot pass the first boot, in any of the roms I tried. In MIUI, the logo of starting stay indefinitly (not the poco one, the MIUI one). I tried pa-quartz-5-beryllium-20200924, also stays infinitly in the green ball logo moving. After that, I tried lineage-18.1-20210410-nightly-beryllium-signed, with the same result, Infinite starting moving blue logo (more than 8h and still didnt boot). I tried clean installs and dirty installs. The worst part is that my PC only recognizes my F1 on recovery, Fastboot don't seems to be working (I was going to try flashing via fastboot). And here I am, after 6h of trying different installs, flashing the Disable Force Encryptation, flashing stock firmware and stock rom, stock firmware and custom roms, flashing vendor, not flashing vendor, etc... Im sick.
Thanks in advance to anyone who try to help me.
EDIT: I missed that i was having random reboots too, not only touchscreen fails.

Check my POCO F1 Ultimate Collection & Guides. Try to Clean Install Pixel Experience for example, according my guide (u need to format data also). Let me know how it goes.
Tried Android 10 and 11 Pixel Experience, tried with stock and NG Kernels. Still stays forever in the first load of the SO.
Just got the properties file from XiaomiADBFastbootTools. Maybe someone can see something wrong on it.

Can I Change my Custom ROM to another?

Hi everyone. this is my very first post. I'm an Owner of a Redmi 6a (Cactus) Running Lineage OS 17.1 Unofficial (20200727) and I'm having some issues with the from so. first, I would like to know which Custom ROM Its better for this model now in 2022. more stable and updated. and also. if I can change the custom ROM to another without problems, just wiping some things ( I have TWRP and Bootloader unlocked already), or I have to get back to MIUI again.
I'm seeking something with the highest android version available for this model without problems like slow charging. camera stops or issues with daily usage, I would like to get my phone a little more powerful again.
Any suggestions, and comments, are well received by me.
Thanks to everybody
welcome to the dark side
so at the beginning i just tested some of the available costom roms, each for a few days (like go shopping) to get to know the functions and to see if they are stable (stable enough - because you can't find all bugs in short time). i am now using LineageOs but this is a personal preference. maybe i should go "shopping" again to see how the other costom roms have evolved over the past two years. as long as i did this testing i flashed all the roms "dirty", this means as you said, just wiping/formatting in twrp and flash new rom but as soon as i left testing and decided to use a rom for a longer period of time i did a "clean" flash. this means flash stock rom again (be careful to don't lock your bootloader again, its preselected in miflash unlock tool), then boot system, enable adb debugging, flash twrp, flash costom rom. i would say from experience that if you do a dirty or even clean flash, lets say you do it 10 times in a row, you will not always get the same result. maybe sometimes in LineageOs (at some devices) the radio is missing, sometimes it's not. sometimes you have a bug with a camera, sometimes you don't. flashing clean should reduce the error rate. this in the first place and the different region versions make it hard to help someone who has a device specific - rom specific - one in a hundred times bug - they need some help with.
