RECOMMENDED to use the supplied xiaomi USB cable and charge with charger with current output above 2000mA (2A).

When using charger with 1000mA output, 10400mAh pb will be fully charged in about 10400/1000=10.4 hour
When using charger with 2000mA output, 10400mAh pb will be fully charged in about 10400/2000=5.2 hour
My colleague tried to charge using laptop USB, it does not fully charge even after 24 hours! She starts cursing 'China product cannot trust one, new unit already defective, why you recommend me to buy, cheap thing no good!'. So now, when some brand-conscious friend ask about xiaomi pb or phone, I just scare them that xiaomi may burst into flame, don't buy.

I tried using a 2000mA output charger with my original samsung USB cable, my 10400mAh pb needs 7-8 hours to fully charge! When switch to xiaomi USB cable, fully charge in less than 6 hours.

Typical Malaysian want cheap but do.not understand the value of good.

First it depends on your charger output
Second it depends on the cable output
Third it depends on the input of the power bank

Your colleague could be newbie normal standard 2.0 port + cable = 500mah

if your pc have usb 3.0 + cable u get 1amps.

The original powerbank cable too short.

typical malaysians: 50000mAh for rm50? konfem better than the xiaomi ah!

Agreed lol. you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. Of course unless you buy at cost price which doesnt make business sense unless you got the mass production done correctly with the right market.

On the other hand,  USB 2.0 can still output 2A from wallplugs USB chargers. The lady friend ayo sien la.

Explain to her gently bro. Make sure she knows!

get those USB charger meter then you know how many A charging rate 

no need to guess what you cannot see

wish him the best for happy ending.

I bought 1 from directd n ita from china.  possible to reflash using other rom like global or my rom?

are you suppose to use it this way, charging another device while charging the powerbank

Not sure what you mean but if you are charging the pb using a 1 amp charger and then charge a device that can take 2 amp, you can figure out how the charges goes and unless the powersource charge the device directly and bypass powerbank which is unlikely.

Of course if you're charging using a 2amp charger and charging MI3 which is taking 1 to 1.2-1.5 amp, then you would be charging the batt as well.

Yea.
Download the Global ROM from http://bigota.d.miui.com/JHCMIBE29.0/miui_...aa5be04_4.3.zip
Rename the zip to update.zip
Put it in the root of internal storage.
Go into recovery mode by holding volume up+power（after powering it down）
It should go into recovery in 7 seconds
After select to update from update.zip
Thats all I guess
Of course, a full wipe is recommended after rebooting into MIUI.

Followed your guide but says that update.zip not found. Already put it into root directory.
