canot simply get one..got compatibility issue

It's possible. I've just managed to flash the global rom into the China set. Everything is working fine except for casting which only works from pc (not working if casting from phone youtube). Steps are quite straight forward, and can be found on a Vietnamese forum (Goole translate helps). But do take note of possible risk of bricking the unit. You have been warned.

Would like to ask everyone with the Malaysian set, does the remote comes with a mic? I haven't managed to try the voice search function, and while the remote does have the rotate touch and slide feature, I can't seem to find any pin hole for a mic. Voice search still works via a Google remote app, where the phone transmit the voice to the box.

Another question regarding Astro Go app. I am previously using the app on my older mibox 2, and it also works fine before I flash the global rom today. But now after side loading into this global rom, the main screen app is tilted down 90 (sleeping sideways), unless I managed to navigate until a show is playing and the I can expand the view to a proper full screen. Any idea how to solve this? I think am on the latest Astro Go version.

hi, i'm not too sure on steps for the white mibox, but during my research, there are loads of you tube video for this model. else u can try to Vietnamese forum.

Great. Good luck with the process.
maybe you can belanja the developer a coffee for this hard work since it's just rm3.7.

I just bought Mibox from Lazada but I dont know how to watch free movies and TV shows. I know this is a sensitive issue but if you can pm how to do it. I will really appreciate it

Yeah... got the Astro Go to run properly ady.
TQ for other sifu comment also.

For those new mibox user here some advise on Astro Go:
1. Download Astro Go APK then move the APK file to thumbdrive
2. Install ES File Explorer and Set Orientation (set the orientation to automiatic)
3. Plug in thumbdrive to mibox and use ES File Explorer to open and install the Astro Go
4. Change ur keyboard setting to other keyboard type (Do not use the default Leanback keyboard)
5. Open the Astro Go and u are good to go log in and watch.
6. If u are having problem at the logging page (i.e. run very slow), try change ur wifi in mibox
(for my case, my house is Unifi and it seem to stuck in logging page for the initial log in. So use my phone hotspot, Maxis to connect the Mibox and log in is very fast)
7. After log in then change back to my house wifi. DONE
 

in my case, i use my phone maxis to hotspot and login first, After login then change back to house unifi/streamyx wifi which can run properly.
Maybe u can try use ur data hospot to log in and run few channel then immediately disable ur hotspot. the mibox will then auto connect ur house wifi.

ok. will try it out later

Excellent. I'll look out for the best discounted price in the next round of Lazada sale then. Thanks 

Just stick to MDZ-16-AB and you will be fine, This IS the international version. It runs on Android TV 6.0 operating system Every other Mibox doesnt run on this OS. Only extra thing about buying MDZ-16-AB in Malaysia would be the 1 year warranty honored by Xiaomi Malaysia. But if you managed to purchase the MDZ-16-AB in the orange retail packaging, you get some free trial codes for a few US based streaming services plus a few pre-installed apps but nothing you cant install yourself later on.

Can, you can sideload on both orange box or brown box MDZ-16-AB to your hearts's content. Just that the orange box MDZ-16-AB has free trial vouchers and has some pre-installed apps (which can be removed or disabled) To not confuse you or anyone for that matter, just remember all MDZ-16-AB as International version, simpler that way.

hi all master of xiaomi, can you all please tell me have you all facing casting from mobile to xiaomi mibox 3s china flash to international rom without root. please help i have facing this issue so far.

thank you.

So far i've only been able to cast from a PC chrome browser to the mibox. Other methods never worked. Do share if you have managed to do so.
It's possible, coz i did and am using it till today.
There is a thread on XDA which you can refer if interested.
