Forget it.

As long as it is not available from this link, dont download.

Return to directD, ask for a replacement with china stable rom.

Dem.. that's fakap

Better start request unlock bootloader now. And dont update anything through OTA or Updater even if you're prompted to. Otherwise u are gonna brick it.

Once u get bootloader unlocked, flash china stable rom. Otherwise, I expect a global rom should be available by end of feb or early march.

Only for redmi 5. %+ need to wait till end of month i think... someone posted a picture here before

if he bought from directD or M2G, mana ada? sudah jual it's yours.

kawan, ada baca tered title butul2 ka?

the only time a global stable rom is released for public use is AFTER the first redmi 5/5+ is officially sold outside China.

that day will come. be patient.

According the great Commies, Taiwan is part of China. Count that out.

That is bloody cheap!

Currently out of stock

Check out this item I found on Lazada! Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus ( 4GB+64GB ROM ), Original Imported Set, 1 Year Warranty!!!

Mana ada.jpg

test point method. forcefully flash a rom bypassing the bootloader

Mine came with a silicon case, it should be for all redmi 5 plus. If yours dont have, means seller has took out to sell separately.

Anyway that thing is useless oso la, cant even protect the camera bulge. I have another from ebay otw.

I had also considered honor 7x before, but eventually picked this 5+, because cheaper. The rest of the specs doesnt matter to me since i only use it as my communication phone. Watsapp fb and lowyat. For everything else i have my alcatel

If you are flashing official roms then no need use twrp, xiaomi own flash tool can handle. Only if u plan to flash customs then only use twrp

When u get your china rom phone, first thing is to get your mi account registered. The same username and password will be used for all things xiaomi, including its forum. Make sure the same username and password is keyed in under accounts in phone settings.

Once that is done, there is a link in forum for you to request unlock. Wait for approval sms. Once sms is received, then in phone activate developer options and then bind your mi account to the phone, under "unlocking" which is located inside developer options. Separate than the "accounts" in settings as mentioned earlier. For binding u need to use vpn to set your internet connection to china.

Once binding done u can delete off the vpn and then plug the phone to your pc, and use miunlock programme (downloaded from forum) to unlock. It will say unlock failed, then give you a prompt to try again after 360hours.

Wait until after countdown finish (u sendiri track) then re-do the miunlock thing and your bootloader will be unlocked successfully. When that is done, hopefully the official global rom is available already and u can download the rom and then use miflash tool (downloaded from mi forum again) to flash in your global rom, overwriting the china rom.

**edit**

The steps above is for phones with official china rom. Stay away from unofficial "global" rom. U will get headache trying to flash that one.
