After unlock bootloader and flash xiaomi.eu rom, can get future updates through OTA or need to manually flash every update?

Marshmallow should be coming soon since the Mi Max ships with it. Really want to try out Marshmallow's fabled doze mode.

People these days simple DIY also don't know how to do?

High risk my ass. I did it in 15 minutes by following this video:

Easier than Pendidikan Seni Visual projects in secondary school lol.

Sick of waiting for Xiaomi to give me bootloader unlock approval.

Is there any pre-rooted rom that I can flash using download mode (EDL)?

But that's what I did for my Redmi 3, which also had locked bootloader. Successful and very simple, done in 15 minutes. I just need the right rom to do the same on RN3.

I'm surprised to see that Redmi 3 has better rom support than Redmi Note 3. My Redmi 3's pre-rooted rom is working perfectly without any bugs or issues. Thanks anyway. I guess I'll just wait until Marshmallow rom comes out before flashing, should receive my bootloader unlock by then.

I see, thanks for the heads up.

Does Xiaomi.eu have fastboot roms?

Just curious, will I lose my apps if I update through OTA?

Is it possible to root global stable rom with locked bootloader?

I want root to use Titanium Backup to backup my apps for easier restoration.

How do I select which SIM card to use when making a call, on a per call basis?

Only dial pad has the option to select sim. From contacts there cannot choose. Wtf? I don't call people from the dial pad because I don't remember their number. Any solution? I cannot just put one sim as default sim because which sim card I use to call change frequently, as Maxis call Maxis number have free call, Digi call digi number for free etc. If need go setting change default sim every time before calling very troublesome. Even my 3 year old android phone has more intuitive and user friendly calling system than this MIUI shit.

This did the trick.

Good thing we have MIUI experts like you on this forum. Otherwise there's lots of things that normal user would not have discovered or found the solution to on their own.

Xiaomi save good camera for Mi5, if Redmi camera too good then nobody will buy Mi5 liao.

People who using Xiaomi.eu rom, when update EU rom using the updater app, all installed apps and data will hilang or not?

I keep getting "Your device isn't supported by Mi Unlock" on the Mi Unlock tool, even though I already received bootloader unlock sms from Xiaomi. Followed this http://en.miui.com/thread-202290-1-1.html to the letter.

Great hardware, shitty software.

Already flashed China dev. Contacted their customer support and they just ask me to wait 10 days for their server to refresh.

They say lock bootloader is to protect customers from shady resellers but many China AP units still come with shitty vendor rom and bloatware.

And now I'm going to be using my old phone for another 10 days because I don't want to reconfigure my apps and settings when I flash Xiaomi.eu rom. What a joy kill.

I remember using Gravity Screen years ago, it would keep waking my phone screen in my pants pocket even when I calibrated the shit out of it, causing battery to drain very fast.

I'll give it a try again after flashing new ROM. Who knows, maybe it was my old phone's gyroscope that was wonky. It's an amazing app when it works, but the few times it doesn't made it very frustrating.

Is there any app that adds the function of double tap to on screen and double tap home button to off screens? Every model of oppo phones,even the cheapest model, has that function and I find it very convenient for certain use cases.

Mi Unlock stuck at 50%, couldn't verify device despite following this entire guide.

Their response when I posted a thread about it, is to delete my thread and say : please be patient, our server is currently experiencing an unexpected error and no need create separate thread, since you are not the only one affected by this.

0/10. Would not recommend Xiaomi phones to power users who like to have full control over their phones.

The person who came up with the idea of locking bootloaders in Xiaomi deserves to burn in hell.
