jangan marah, just stating my own preference only, just like how others state theirs.

phone from mobile2go. they have ad in mudah.

3gb ram + 32gb rom... add another rm50 can get 4gb ram + 64gb rom from directD

worth to pay the extra, really.

haha not an issue since they provide the installer files within mi store itself. so generous of them!
which got me thinking, what's the point of not including it built-in in the first place.

uh... 4g frequency compatibility is software based meh? not hardware based meh?

so kasi flash different rom can support different band?

still downloadable...

Woo hoo got approval to unlock bootloader. Very fast, half hour sudah got the SMS. But I dunno wat to do next since official global Fastboot ROM still not available

Wat.. i just followed the link u posted earlier. Read somehing and there is an unlock request link there, click and reach mi account login page. After login, just type reason for request unlock and submit. Then just wait for the sms.

When approval sms is given only have to go download those tool on a pc. This is the thing i have yet to do

there has been complaints of "non-compatible ROM" message prompt on these "global ROM" sets from aliexpress.

i say hold your horses for now.

360 hours is 15 days. hopefully by then fastboot or a non-buggy global rom is out.

ihavent done anything on the unlocking yet. how and where to get that plexvpn? google store or mi store?

We dont have thumbnail on the thread listing page!

yeah try resizing it abit.

but here's one i sourced, this one shows both 5 and 5+ side by side, try use this

Yeay sudah ada. now easier for me to find this tered. no need to read every line of the thread list

Official Xiaomi not yet masuk.

699 is only for 3GB/32GB version.

Do get the 4gb/64GB version instead, worth paying rm100 extra if you dont mind gold colour

Not yet. Fastboot for global is not available. I kinda gave up and would just use current china rom as it is.

Officially global rom is not available. The last release was buggy enough that they had it pulled down 2 days after release. Many sellers who downloaded during that period quickly force flash the buggy rom and sell it as "global rom" units, which gave you that error message.

There is a workaround method suggested in xiaomi forum but it doesn't seem to last and message pop up again not long after.

Try this first and see if it removes the message:

Go to settings: System apps - Security - Disable "Allow internet connection".

Now go back and click onto Installed apps - Security - Clear Data

If it doesnt work then if u want to flash china rom, first apply to unlock bootloader, go download china stable rom and the necessary programmes on a windows pc. Once approval given then wait 72/360 hours before can flash. Fir the steps, u better check with miui forum

I recall having read a post earlier about a tool that can load rom without the need to request unlock bootloader. Check a few pages back.

But when i went to that tool's page, the author dropped a note that the tool is buggy and he has yet to fix it. So those sellers maybe were able to load the rom into the phone but didnt bother to test use it to discover the subsequent issue that came after.

Benefon

Just done flexvpn and added my account. Now what's left is doing things on pc/laptop, which i am still not sure if i want to proceed or not.

Done. Just dunno whether wana proceed with unlock in pc/laptop since no global rom yet.

That's the buggy global rom that was removed from xiaomi official list

Only left china rom. No global listed.
