Order same Redmi 5+ 4+64 from wow phone rm620-15.

Den see you guys report faulty phone. This morning lazada motor came. I reject it. He buat muka masam ask why reject ? Want reject awal awal reject la. I say the item got problem i want to return it. Den buat bodoh only.

At Frist i tot i lucky nia found cheap gem. Mana tau cheaper for few hundred bucks but risk for loads of headache.

1) lang fang unit ada chances get lemon unit is high
2) its a force flashed unit with unstable rom and bootloader locked. I have 0 knowledge in flashing. Ada chance brick, plus have to void warranty doing first doing test point. Then 15 days if want flash global itu pon kalau approve if reject wait again.
3) warranty status unknown for this unit coz wow phone took down the sale page.

Lesson learned : pay more if want peace of mind. Its cheap for a reason.

Sorry delivery guy~ hopefully you return the unit safely to lazada to initiate refund. Hehe

from xiaomi itself lor.

for full rom : http://en.miui.com/download-340.html

for full rom, no need extract, just rename as update.zip and straight throw into phone root folder and kasi flash via recovery. but some ppl in forum say thet get invalid file error.
for fastboot : http://en.miui.com/a-234.html (scroll down the list and look for "Redmi 5 Plus Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download" and click on it the file will be downloaded automatically)

i extracted the fastboot rom using winzip. as mentioned by another forumer yesterday, it would first extract to a .tar file which would then need to be extracted again to get a folder.
*
erkkk..i know no need extract..

i just want the boot.img only from the zip package

in case bootloop..and also, not sure once bootlop can enter fastboot or not

Get Xiaomi Malaysia set for peace of mind

But if cheap rm620 like my purchase, it is worth it.

At least for me lol
