OTG + Charge with Y microUSB cable - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello! OTG works fine with the Y cable, but the phone refuses to charge whatever i do. Is there a way to activate the charging while in host mode?
This is the kind of cable i'm using.

I think it would be a way to upload a modified kernel, that would allow this, but i have no experience with compiling kernels. Is there something already available for the Redmi 5 Plus?
Thank you!

I managed to get it working. This is how, maybe it will help somebody.
1. First you have to unlock your bootloader.
2. Then install a custom recovery, i went with OrangeFox
3. After that i installed LineageOS 18.
After the ROM instalation everything works perfectly. I now have OTG and the phone is charging at the same time.
I needed this old phone to run OctoPrint for my 3D printer, instead of buying a rasberry PI 4, which is expensive at the moment and lower spec than the Redmi 5 Plus. So this is a huge win, as i already had the phone and it was collecting dust. Until now.

Are you sure the device actually works? (Confirm it on another phone)
My APC charger works flawlessly.
If it does, please measure the resistance (Ohm) between the 2 middle pins on the connected cable and post the result here.

[Q] Phone won't connect to PC - FIXED

Hello, any idea what could be causing this?
When I try to connect my SGS3 to pc, I get this:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
But when I try to connect my fathers sgs3, I get this:
Could it be a motherboard problem? I took my phone to warranty and they said they found no problems on the USB port, and installed new firmware or something. (Also they changed my headphone jack because it was also faulty)
The phone charges fine using USB.
Thanks.
E: The phone still gets "Hardware id is missing" error but meh.
Fixed!
What I did:
1) Went to device manager and uninstalled all the USB controllers/drivers that had a error sign on them
2) Disabled windows automatic driver install (not sure if necessary)
3) Used another usb port, one behind my computer
4) Bam, it works.
I've been 3 months without able to use USB on my phone now, even took it to warranty.
Feels quite great man.

[ask] charging problem

help guys i can't charge my phone in the OFF position, when i plug the charger on the phone, my phone ON again and start charging, i using miui v5 14.1.17 in my ktouch lotus 2 (titanium s1 , kiss u86),
so, I always charge my phone in ON position, whether it shortens the life of my battery? any help will be appreciated!!
From my own personal experience, charging while the phone is on should be no problem at all. The only thing that could cause trouble is if you use it frequently while it is charging.
oke thanks, phenom2122
but anysolution regarding my question above? whether the problem is in the kernel? or what?
sorry for my bad english, i use gtranslate
I would have to say yes, although that is an educated guess. Does it boot up completely all by itself when you plug it in? There was a trick to do this with Nokia smartphones. So when you plug it in, it does boot up certain services..
I would suggest that you look for information on MIUI in particular, it will have something to do with them. Or if you are comfortable with it, try a custom kernel.
Solved
program solved
just add this to build.prop

Fastboot on Wear24

Could someone try hooking up the charger to their PC when in recovery? I'm wondering if that would connect it to the PC or if you are going to have to go through a more complicated route...I'm thinking through the charger won't work.
To access fastboot you swipe from top left to bottom right in a straight line when booting. Do this when the Wear24 words are on the screen. If it doesn't go into it, then try again. I was able to do it at a store.
Instructions from verizon:
https://es.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-209362/
The charging base does not contain the circuitry for data.
If you take a look at the fcc filing photo, it only has two wires for charging.

There must be a way in using WiFi or bluetooth. I'm suspecting WiFi

Fastboot doesnt work over WiFi, only over USB.
Besides, does Qi even support data?
I think the only way is to crack the watch open, and map the pin points to a male usb cable. Someone on another thread was attempting it.
I will just leave it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...how-to-install-twrp-recovery-achieve-t3781502
