How to remove or change "POCOPHONEF1-" prefix in device name? - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I recently rooted this device for purpose of changing MAC address and removing the "POCOPHONEF1-" prefix in device name. I managed to change the MAC but I can't seem to find a solution for other problem. I tried editing build.prop, it didn't work.. I also installed root essentials and edited "Device Hostname" (which shows the exact thing that I want to change) it would then automatically reboot, but when I check back in root essentials, the Device Hostname is reverted to the default. Changing "Device Name" in Settings->About Phone still doesn't remove the prefix. Any suggestions?

Have you tried this?

Yes, I tried both of them. net.devicename doesn't do anything for me. As for the second one, it only changes the name after the hypen (POCOPHONEF1-devicename) . What I want to get rid of is the POCOPHONEF1 before the hypen.

Hi. Any solution found for this? I also want to do same thing with my Xiaomi phone.
EDIT:
LOL. I forgot I already resolved this in the past. U can use the following apk for that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigos.hostnamechanger
Works with my phone, MIUI 11.

UPDATED: DeviceID fetcher (now showing multiple IDs)

This a small application I wrote to automatically retrieve the DeviceID on your PC without having to open the registry editor. It can also create the DeviceID.txt file with the id value stored. It's written in Java so it requires JRE to be installed (most of you already have this)
http://rapidshare.com/files/403680176/DeviceID.jar.html
Make sure you have Sony Ericsson Update Service installed otherwise the device id will not be created in the registry
UPDATE: App updated to show all Device Ids stored in the registry
still dont work for me
windows 7 x64
It's been downloaded too many times (10) for a Free Rapid Share account, it is no longer downloadable, you'll have to upload elsewhere

I always get the first one, there is no way afaik to determine which one is getting used at any point. I can maybe change it so that it displays everything and lets u select the one you want to use
Well the point's not what I want to use, it more what's the right one at time of flashing. Is it save to delete those keys so the right one is rebuilt inn case of reconnecting the device ?
it's really not easy to find which one is being used at any point. i don't know if it's safe to delete them from the registry, although i would suspect that it is. just make sure you use the same usb port whenever you flash. that way you avoid overcomplications with this issue
THX for the info. I'd try to find out the right one.
In my case it was the second key found, not the first!
So this tool does not work for everyone.

[Q] Applications not working - Not signed with trusted certificate

This is my first post, so apologies if this is in the wrong place or has been asked before (I have searched and found some answers, but none of these worked)
Basically, last night whenever I tried to use an application on my HTC HD2 I was getting the following error message:
"The file xxx cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one if its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
In searching for the solution, a lot of people are saying that I need to edit the reistry. (Specifiaclly HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies DWord = 0000101a - Change value from 0 to 1)
I have tried downloading the recommended registry editors on the forums (Resco Explorer etc.) but am unable to install because the "program is from an unknown publisher." I click yes to get pass this initial message, like I always have done in the past, and the following is displayed:
Installation was unseccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed beacause it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate."
I have also tried using a program recommended called CeRegistryEditor and using my PC via ActiveSync to edit the registry, but am getting an error message "Access Denied!".
Does anybody know any other way of editing the registry? Am I actually doing the right thing? Are there any security settings that I need to disable to allow CeReistryEditor to edit the registry?
This is really bugging me, I have only been without my apps for about 12 hours throughout the night but it is hard to live without them!! I REALLY don't want to perform a hard reset and will do anything to avoid this!
When I get this I just remove evertyhing to do with it on the phone and re download it (the cab file usually) and it seems to work.
thanks for your reply. I have tried this but when I try and reinstall I am getting the message: Installation was unseccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed beacause it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate.
I think that the security settings have been changed, but I cant see how to change them with editing the registry which I am struggling to do
Can I ask what app you are trying to install? Or is it any app?
Multiple Apps that were running OK yesterday, but not today. I think it is all the apps that I have downloaded from Omarket.... Omarket isnt working either!
Hi,
Any luck on this. I m also facing similar issue after installing Android on my HD2.
I have the exact same issue after running Android from SD card. No application (non-stock ones) are working anymore. Like 3rd party certificates are being blocked or something...
For everyone with this problem, download Mobile Registry Editor and connect your phone to your PC via USB, then start the Editor and go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies" and search for the DWord "0000101a" and change the decimal to "1", that will fix your problem. This problem happens to me if I "reboot" while in Android instead of turning the phone completely off and then back on.
Edit: Added link to download.
As a side note, I always did this to mine while running Windows Mobile, then booted Android after fixing the registry.
and when this is not possible

Hi,
I also have the same issue after loading android from the sd-card. I have also re-installed the stock rom and the problem still persists. Im also unable to install any reg editors as keep getting the "not signed with a trusted certificate".
I read that a cooked rom may be a solution around this but I liked the set up I had and wanted to keep my original rom so any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Lee
Exactly the same problem.
Non-stock programs not working after failed boot of android from SD card, and I'm unable to change any registry entries either. Practically I'm locked out of my phone, just the basic functions working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
if forget where I originally found this link (its on xda some place)
http://www.internet-tools.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/sda_unlock.zip
but run this first and you no longer get the access denied when using the mobile registry editor , hope it helps.
I have the same problem, just remove the program that was not working, pull out your memory card , then delete the files in the sd card except the application installer, hard reset your phone, and remember to go to SETTINGS-UPDATES&FEEDBACK-ERROR REPORTING-DISABLE ERROR REPORTING, and turn off your phone, put in the memory card and turn your phone on and install the application one by one, the application installed will work as normal, Good Luck, remember to back up your data before hard reset

[Q] HELP!!! VPN Problem!!

Before, I'm already using Feat VPN.. Then suddenly it won't connect anymore. I uninstall the app and wipe its data.
I tried to reinstall the app then run the set-up.
then it stopped and failed on "TUN Device Start 2 of 2"
then I checked the log on the app, it shows "uncaught exception java.lang.illegalargumentexception"
I also checked other forums and tutorials,. They said check my /dev/tun file, and make sure that its permission is set to rw-rw---- and ownership to uses= system and group=vpn. I did and it was already set to said paremissions.
My brother and I has the same phone model. I tried to look for /dev/tun (hoping that I can copy/paste to my phone. but his phone doesnt have a tun file. but he also uses feat vpn. can someone here explain to me why is it like that?
My phone runs on Android ICS 4.0.4
Please help me, I want to use FeatVPN again!
Please help me... thanks!!

Need NVRAM.IMG for lenovo s820

Hi,
I have made a mistake trying to change a rom for my device (Lenovo s820).
I thought my phone was gone, but step by step I was able to bring it back to life.
Now I have a working rom and I set back the IMEI's, but I still have "no service".
After reading a lot, I understand that I need to recover my "NVRAM" and to do so, I need for somebody to send my a file called "NVRAM.IMG" which applies to my device.
I can't find this file anywhere on the net.
Can somebody please send me?
Thanks in advance

tomtom on 5.1.1 issue

can seem to install tomtom on 5.1.1
anyone have the same issue
either can't connect to the internet or license issue
i don't mind paying for it but i can't seem to find it on playstore
You might have a serial number problem.
Check the serial number shown in the configuration part where you have "About Device", if the serial number is very long, then this is the problem.
Either a Device ID changer or the MTC-Serivce from dsa8310 can solve this issue.
I am still working on my device to get it running again and switching to another custom firmware, but my device is behaving strange.
The thread with the sollution is somewhere on the second page right now, should be easy to find.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...lution-tomtom-connection-to-internet-t3368026
I just dont know on which page, it is, but read this thread and maybe you find a working sollution for your device.
since my is not root I can't seem to change my sn with the apk, can't install xposed framework, anyone know how to root rk3188 with android
