seems that i cant read any chinese language, do you mind translate my version?

what rom installed???

and what is this test point you guys talking about...kinda new to me for mi devices

Only problem with AP with unofficial rom. Those with official china rom like mine and benefon, it's easier, just unlock and fastboot flash.

This has been discussed before and i remember having said something about it, if you have read the thread from start i am sure you'd have come across my statement. Plus this has been repeatedly raised in miui forum as well.

I am guessing you have done an OTA update after seeing that update prompt, which i have previously said not to.

Now that it has come to this, and if your refund request is denied, your only salvaging is testpoint flash china rom amd request unlock bootloader afterwards.

http://www.miui.com/thread-12469906-1-1.html check here bro... for 11 / 12 manufacturer... digizitizer will be hang/ lag...

not sure bout your set...but u can try it 1st...

Mi Mix 2 Special Edition, maybe?



BigSaver, from the link Emo_Boy provided, they said the batch with display panel problem was manufactured within November and December 2017 by a plant at Langfang city and unfortunately, your sticker indicates November 2017, Langfang.

But that doesn't mean 100% will have problem, just keep using the phone until you see problem and make warranty claim. Usually AP set also provide warranty by seller right?



In worst case if return is not allowed, can rainbowcyan bring the phone to his local repair shop to do testpoint flashing to China ROM? I believe some local shop provide this kind of service with a small fees right? Too sad to hear that happen to a newly bought phone. Anyone with flashing knowledge, please help him.

he claimed succesfully update from unofficial to offical rom directly

Redmi 5 plus laa....

Received RM720 Redmi 5 Plus from wowphone/DD, accidentally OTA'ed the fake global ROM. Bootloop. Damaged my fingernails opening the damned phone to do testpoint restore using MiFlash haih...in the end, got it working again with China stable ROM 9.2.3.0, installed Google crapz and now up and running again

Anyone know of a script to debloat China ROMs? I mean, omaigawd, there's a lot of sampah in there and I need to wait another 14 days for bootloader unlock

For my phone , i notice the screen abit yellowish.

Anyway this morning the phone auto update to latest miui and stuck in bootloop. So need to send back to directd.

Thanks for the help

This morning the phone auto update to latest miui and already stuck in bootloop. Haihh

Wrong
Lesson : learn about flashing before buy AP set

I buy AP set, until wanna buy windows laptop , maybe after CNY.

This is "tomorrow" already but still no news update.


Wow! You are really phone doctor!
By the way, since you can testpoint to China ROM, can you testpoint again to official Global ROM?


Too bad, then just make warranty claim from seller. So sorry for heard that!


Xiaomi Notebook...

Launched edi Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus

Mix 2 white so cheap only

Please share voucher code i already put in cart

Then the earlier leak was real, meaning I'll need to wait till 28 February only can order mine.

Been playing for many years with phones already, change USB charging port, screen, etc. It's actually quite easy to open Redmi 5 Plus, all you need are fingernails and a guitar pick, no need to unscrew anything. Then just short out 2 pins on the motherboard; utiup is your friend to pick up new knowledge If an old man like me can learn how to do it, anyone can do it lo...

Read in xiaomi forums that flashing global ROM on China phone using testpoint will brick it, so I won't even bother trying

Can also. But when people see redmi 5 plus was on 'global rom', they quickly buy although proper global rom is not available yet

14 days very cepat one. Relax, have a coffee.

That being said, i finally succumbed to my own curiousity and flashed in the global rom last night. I was told that the recovery method would fail, so just to avoid creating problems, i went along with fastboot method that others have successfully done. Downloaded the fastboot rom, i had to extract twice using winzip i dunno why but but eventually kautim the flashing using miflash.

Took a while starting up after flash i was worried sick if i had farked it up. Eventually it booted normally and kautim the initial setup. Havent really fully setup since i didnt plug my sim card in, but i noticed that somehow scrolling through pages is not as smooth as china 9.2.3.0 rom. Probably i just psyho abit lah.

I think even those shop guys will learn from youtube and download the programmes dulu, just like what those ppl in forum did. The only advantage they have is they have suitable tools to open up the back cover lol. Anyhow from what i read in the forum, only opening up the back cover is the hard part. Supsequent shorting the test point and flashing is just as easy as normal flashing.

If it happened to me, since i have got nothing to lose i would really go and do the testpoint to revive the phone. Cant have my money go down the drain just like that.
