only if your bootloader is unlocked or CHN ver..any attempt to flash to other rom will soft brick ur h3c
oh I see. I'm currently using a Redmi 1S, saw it in the MiUi forum so I decided to ask here. hmm thamk you for answering? just curious there's no way to unlock the bootloader like how you do it with nexus and motorola phones?

(This post moved here because too many fan boys at the other thread and I am not interested in starting a war).
I am comparing 1s vs H3c. Price difference of RM80.
1s: Limited to choice of 4 languages (US/UK English, Malay & Chinese).
3c: Up to 44 international languages.
1s: When u switch to the "Lite Mode" (for old folks), the phone needs to re-start.
3c: Has a similar feature called "Simple". No need to restart.
1s: The capacitive touch buttons are not as sensitive or smooth.
3c: Pretty responsive for the price range and compared with 1s. (Mi3 is even more responsive among the 3 units, of course, but it's a diff price range).
Note: This is subjective.
1s: 4.7" screen and slightly smaller but heavier.
3c: 5" screen yet lighter.
Note: Again this is subjective. Some may actually like the heavier more "solid" feel. For me, I prefer something light in my pocket.
1s: 1 GB RAM.
3c: 2GB RAM.
1s: Front camera 1.6MP.
3c: Front camera 5 MP.
And so on. I am not bashing 1s. I still think its good value for money and if I should play with it longer, I am sure there will be some features that are better than 3c... perhaps. But personally I would top up RM80 to get 3c because the one deciding factor for me is the choice of languages. Different folks may have diff needs. Hope the above info is useful for some of you. Cheers!
FYI, I'm using a Redmi 1S.
IMHO, I do not agree with your Opinion on languages, capacitive buttons and RAM.
1) There are a lot more languages available if you flash a Global ROM.
2)Capacitive buttons sensitivity is just right. If its too sensitive, it might react to it when you touched it acciedentally while doing something, lets say playing a game or watching videos.
3) 1GB is more than enough if the OS has good RAM management. 2GB is useless if the apps does not run smooth. Anyways, I have to admit the latest Stable MIUI does not have good RAM management. But it will be fixed in MIUI v6/ Kitkat

DO NOTE THIS IS ONLY MY HUMBLE OPINION
I'm not keen on H3c because of the chipset. I will never use a device with MTK chip in it.
