[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] LenovoZ2PlusGuy:
Hello, guys. I am new to this unlocking boot loader and stuff. I have a very simple doubt. My brother already owns a Z2 Plus but is not interested in tweaking the ROM though it has been over a year. But on the other hand, I have received my New Z2 Plus and would like to try out different ROMS. Now that I have used my brother's serial number to get the boot loader file can I use it to unlock my own device? There by I won't be voiding my warranty. Please answer.

Bootloader unlock file is individual to every phone.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uggers:
Hi,

I just got a 2017 16gb Shield that is conencted up to my Sony KDL-50W829B

When I first started it, it worked fine I added some apps etc and connected a USB HDD.

Then my logitech harmony.

No for some reason when I power it up via the Harmony or on the Shield's remotes themselves it will turn both the TV on and the Shield but it outputs no picture, there is sound however.

I have tried different hdmi ports and also unplugged the USB HDD as I heard that causes issues. But still no luck it doesn't seem to start. Sometimes if i just leave it, it seems to eventually show a picture.

Any thoughts? I do have a new HDMI cable coming to test (although tbf the cable I'm using works fine for other devices, but doesn't hurt to try I guess)

Make your own. It's really easy. Take the shortcut to whatever you want to run using the power key & duplicate it (or you can use the original .lnk).

Rename the copy or original to Long_Power.lnk & move it to the windows folder.

That's all there is to it!

You can also do Short_Power.lnk, Short_Send.lnk, Long_Send.lnk, Long_End.lnk & Short_End.lnk. :D

Hello everyone

Sorry for my bad English translation (I'm French)

After doing a bad handling with my HUAWEI P9 Lite VNS-L31 it hangs at startup on the HUAWEI logo, the only thing I can do is start in fastboot.

Below the green man Android it is marked:

PHONE Locked

FRP Lock

I do not have the unlock code of the Bootloader.

I tried to opt this code on the dedicated page on the site EMUI but each time I have the same message:

Please make sure the verification code and model number are correct. If your device has multiple IMEIs or MEIDs, please try another IMEI or MEID.

(No longer able to access the phone I used the software "Product ID generator" to optir my product ID)

Could you please help me to solve my problem, this is my son's phone.

A big thank-you

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] joha386:
Hi there,

I am currently thinking about getting the Mi6. After some research I read more than once in some forums across the web, that there might be a Global VERSION coming, naturally supporting more LTE bands, as they have done it before to other xiaomi phones.

Geekbuying already had a Global VERSION listed, others saying Xiaomi is trying to hit ground in Russia and Greece in the future.

Since I am pretty new to the ChinaPhone Area I would like to know if something like this sounds possible to you? In that case I would wait a few more weeks if something like a Global VERSION would pop up.

Thanks in advance :good:
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] juankar7:
Hello, I've bought a MI6 that already came with global version. If you buy it with other, you can download it here:

It's a great phone with lower price, it worth it

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] joha386:
Hi,

I did not mean the Global ROM. I meant a Global VERSION of the phone. The Global ROM does not unlock any LTE Bands.

It just felt like there are rumors about a different version of the phone coming in the future. That's why I asked if anybody knew something.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] jlmcr87:
MI6 global version:

http://en.miui.com/thread-731235-1-1.html

Available here:

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] joha386:
Thank you, but it seems like they are defining Global Version also just as the Mi6 running the Global Rom on it. Aliexpress is not mentioning any different specs than the "standard" Mi6. The review is also just talking about the Global Rom on the "standard" Mi6.

Maybe I was just wishing that they might release another version of the mi6 running more or other LTE bands than the one which is out already. Too bad.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] hitardo:
Global ROM - with more languages than English and Chinese - is available.

Usually it takes a little more time to come out (2 weeks to 1 month) but it is available for all Xiaomi devices.

It comes with Google Services and improvements for usability outside of mainland China, namely GPS.

Global Versions is on the hardware side.

It usually enables more LTE bands (e.g. Band 20 @ 800MHz on the Redmi 4X), brings an EU charger and is CE / FCC certified.

It has also the Global ROM pre-installed.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] joha386:
So we are waiting for a Mi6 Global Version ... even though it might not come. Just looked at the mi sites in Taiwan, Russia and Poland: mi6 is available but same specs as everywhere - no B20 band mentioned.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] VitorMT:
I really do not know if Xiaomi is going to release a global version of Mi6.

But OP5 has a bunch of 4g bands. :)

What do u think about OP5?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] phantranphuc:
I read a review in miui forum. The guy has International version, which had english specifications on the box. I boughy Intetnational version from Gearbest. The send me Chinese box with global shop rom. So that means there is a international version but you have to clarify with seller. Or consider other phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] joha386:
Had the OP5 for a few days and send it back. It did not feel fully developed yet. The viewable expanding/contracting of pixels was annoying, Camera worse than advertised, Bluetooth did not work out of the box and the customer service with OP is a big ****up since I have been returning it. Its not worth the price it has. Most of it could be resolved by software, so it might become a better phone in the future. But the customer service is so annoying, that I wont be turning back to OP. Better no customer service at all and lots of money less ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] joha386:
All the sellers [ gearbest, tradingshenzhen, etc. ] do not know about an international version supporting B20 yet. So sadly, there is nothing to clarify. :eek:
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] phantranphuc:
My point is these sellers unbox and flash shop ROM on Chinese Version then sells them as International Version to earn more money. You have to "clarify" this before you buy to make sure you get what you want and pay for.

In case of band 20, the only way to know is to try contact to people who has originally International version to confirm. I don't think these kind of sellers will tell you the truth.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] mELIANTE:
Nope. There is a global version from Xiaomi but the only difference is the box is in english and EU charger included. Same bands.

Your point is wrong, the phone in the link I provided before is the original global version. There are no chinese letters in the back of the phone, only the CE logo and designed by xiaomi.

Here you can see some photos:

Gearbest international versions are fakes. It´s the chinese phone with the global rom installed by the shop.

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] joha386:
Thank you for telling me to read my own thread carefully. As I stated in the OP, I am waiting for a version supporting more LTE bands, call it what you want. There are rumors about

Xiaomi doing it for different countries later on. Which language my box has on it, what rom is installed and what kind of pins my charger has is pretty uninteresting to me.

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] jlmcr87:
Sit down in a comfortable place while you wait for that version. For the moment, the global version doesn´t have the Band 20.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] theunlucky:
I'm also on the prowl for a Mi6 with Band20... (so i'll sub here - maybe i'll find the needed infos in this thread first ;)

Only thing i stumbled around so far: apparantly, a version with Band 9 (FDD on 900Mhz) - but it's an aliexpress-offer, not so sure if the infos are reliable or not...

Here the issue:

some say they have an international version WITH Band20.

others say "there is no version with Band20"

Xiaomi says "no international version what so ever" and "no info if one will be available"

(they sure have a good customer service and fast reply-times)

Hope there will be a version with band 20, would be a shame if this great phone couldn't be used well in most parts of europe (where Band20 is mandatory, in Switzerland, they are even changing vom LTE1800 (B3 or 8?) to B20...) :-/

Making the confusion even bigger:

Reports of "unlocked Bands" in the non-global-versions, some report "working", some "no it doesn't"
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] hitardo:
For what I know, there is no band 20 support on Xiaomi Mi6, Mi5 and Mi5s.

Only the Redmi series and the Mi Note 2 has support for that band, in their Global versions.

Some say they have the International versions, because some resellers advertise their units as that, just because they flash a Global ROM on it.

This is false and leads to mistakes and confusion.

Do not be blind by false promisses by resellers. Search before buying!

For those who say they have Band 20, I say: prove it!

For example, with the application "LTE Discovery", with root access, can tell you in which band you are.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.simplyadvanced.ltediscovery&hl=pt_PT

For example, at my house I have Band 7, at the 2600MHz frequency, like you can see on the image below:

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] hitardo:
Thanks for sharing with us.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] theunlucky:
Thanks, but technically, this is only a "normal version with Euro-Plug"; in production, this is called a "repacked version for europe"... Everything else is Marketing... In Central Europe, "International Version" means "a Phone with all Bands used in the world"; quiet every manufacturer keeps to this "term"...

Therefore, to reduce at least some of the confustion existing within this topic - can we agree that if someone (especially from CE (Central Europe)) is speaking of "international Version" he/she/it is not refering to the "Name printed on the shrinkwrap" but actually refers to the technical specs acc. the usable LTE-Bands?

(because essentially what the phone is called isn't important, if it's called "Mi6 EU", "Mi6 20" - it's important that ALL (major) LTE-Bands are supported)

Anyway, have a nice weekend!
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] mELIANTE:
Hum, no?

What's important is the terminology used by the brand. Xiaomi calls the MI6 with eu plug and English box the global version and that's it.

There's no international version of any Xiaomi, that I know of. It's either global or China or India or whatever.

I get that you want to refer to them universally but that just brings more confusion into the mix.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] theunlucky:
Ok, so which word to describe a "phone that has the same features as the "international variants of other manufacturers"" shall we use, so we, who are asking for these phone-types, are not bashed by the overly smart people telling "well there is such a phone, it does not have the features requested, but oh look it exists"

I wasn't confusing within Xiaomi. As a matter of fact, calling a "repacked version" "international Version" is some kind of negative marketing; because every other manufacturer uses "international" as "working worldwide", as it is "manufacturing standard" to use these terms (trust me on that, i worked as production-assistant for a long time)

But pls. refer to my first question and ... well, which word shall we use for xiaomi, so we understand each other? "Cis-banded phone" or what?!
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] mELIANTE:
What are you on about? Xiaomi always calls global to their phones sold outside of mainland China, regardless of the bands.

International versions do not exist officially.

Other manufacturers do not advertise international versions of their phones. For example, Samsung with their Snapdragon galaxies and the exynos variant. Exynos is called the international version because it's sold worldwide and the Snapdragon in select markets. However, the "international" version does not have the necessary bands to work everywhere.

Xiaomis that resellers advertise as "international" are the Chinese ones that were flashed with a shop ROM, with more languages and Google services. These are falling out of use as most Xiaomi phones now have global versions (as in sold outside of mainland China, e.g. HK and Taiwan).

It's not that complicated when you think about it.

About the bands, unfortunately not all global versions have the necessary bands in a lot of places. However, there are versions with a multitude of bands (MI Note 2 Global) and some with extra bands (Redmi Note 4X Global, mainly Europe bands).

I feel a better way would be to differentiate between these global versions, like global worldwide and global *continent* or *area* like global Europe or global EMEA.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] theunlucky:
Not sure if this page is correct, but it looks VERY promising:

http://www.mi.com/pl/mi6/specs/

http://www.mi.com/en/mi6/specs/

Both sites are saying Mi6 shall support FDD-LTE 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600MHz and TD-LTE 1900+ / 2300 / 2500 / 2600MHz...

Not so sure about the 850 FDD, maybe typo (wanted to say 800) or "wrong information" (as normal mi.com-sites don't show 800 OR 900 (900 would be great as I'm in a "Testarea" for B9 (they never built UMTS-Antennae, but decided to co-opt LTE and GSM on 900mhz))...

If someone in Poland who ordered or bought the Mi6 there could confirm the bands?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] jlmcr87:
Why people don´t get tired of repeating the same things again and again?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] theunlucky:
Well, it may just be me, but MAYBE because the "malaysian version with its specs" haven't been available on the en and pl-site until saturday (i believe), while all available information said "malaysian version, not available everywhere", and especially: no confirmation about the supported bands...

But then, suddendly, the same Band-Info appear on the "global" site (english) and the site for Poland, where Xiaomi is officially selling it's products.

Hint for the know-it-alls: Poland also uses Band 20. So what about the chances that the Mi6 is available with all bands now? But hey, just don't answer question if you can troll people, right.

Soooooooooo...

To reply using your language:

"why people don't get tired of not answering/confirming the things again and again"

Oh btw, just for your information: the QUESTIONS about the supported bands are asked several times. Strangly enough, people are replying with images saying "see this global version" but NEVER refer to the supported bands.

So maybe one of the ones knowing may actually answer the question instead of going the "troll's way". THIS (ONE single, confirmed answer) would actually stop the repeated questions...

Miui is quite aggressive in saving battery so, you need to allow the apps in order to receive push notifications in some cases.

Nothing to worry about though, it's really easy and you will get used to it in a bit.

Also, I suggest the use of a launcher like Nova. At least, I prefer it over Miui launcher, which is more iOS (iPhone) style.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] PiggyReddy:
I always use Nova Launcher Prime. Thanks :).
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] kolembo:
[MENTION=8702738]PiggyReddy[/MENTION]

I've had no problems at all. Far better than Huawei's management of notifications.

As said MIUI is aggressive so you can turn it off completely (in Developers options) out turn it off app by app which takes some time but allows MIUI to continue conserving battery - which is fantastic by the way.

It's a great little phone. No problems with updates either. Limited modding so if you're a ROM fiend look elsewhere.
