[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] NDbluewee:
Is US$300 reasonable to buy a Xiaomi Poco F1????

[MENTION=1007992]everyone[/MENTION]

Good Day!

I come across all earlier contributions with good and bad comments on this particular Poco F1 ...... .! Bear in mind from the business point of view ask ourselves why US$300 on a snap dragon 845 ... surely might be wrong on this huh! Well, Xiaomi is adopting very aggressive marketing penetration to wipe all the heavy weights like Apple, Samsung, Huawei and smaller ones as well on this! Poco F1 hits them well just like that.

Everyone is entitled to his/her own experiences based on what one believing in the pros and con ..... bearing in mind how long will this lasts! Is just another phone US $300 justify your meets/want for 1-2 years before the next wave going to hit in the market maybe the Oppo or Vivo phones are getting ready to hit back at Xiaomi with more prudent and well built features in probably less than US $250 for soc 855 or 865! Not forgetting that idiot Huawei good for nothing "No bootloader unlock" phrase and many still reluctant players NOT willing to open up bootloader unlock ..... . will count them out.

Conclusion is based on every individual who thinks value for money, ease of operation, good OS (nothing is perfect at least 90% satisfied), NFC not necessary ... many others can do away with it, and end up simply with a price of US $ 300 is certainly the justification that I want with following rationales:

1. Can you still find another alternative or replacement unit with US $300 for a soc 845 ;

2. I can still do my bootloader unlocking but with minimum frustration (1440 hours or 61 days to unlock >> latest new!!!) with Xiaomi;

3. I still can have my custom roms later part ([RECOVERY] TWRP-3.2.3-x [beryllium], Tool/Utility for the Xiaomi Poco F1) or maybe OrangeFox .... . more custom roms will be available by then;

4. If I don't like custom rom I still can revert back to stock roms which is another alternative! Bearing in mind Xiaomi is making a great impact now and maybe the next 10-20 years future to stay more competitive; and

5. Target on this model may last me for a year or 2 ..... by then a much better model with higher specs would surface to take over Poco F1.

Till then Good Luck guys! -:) -:)

I'm currently using the XFL2V-U-MBLACK by V-MODA also known as the Crossfade LP2 Vocal Limited Edition (Over-Ear, Noise-Isolating, Metal Headphones).

They are pretty comfortable and come with 2 cables on with mic and the other with out, Great for listening with the Dac on the V30+

[LG V30 Accessories] Aborto:
Sennheiser HD485's, had for well over a decade and not far off replacing, but crazy comfortable.

Shure SE215's, decent sounding, comfortable, low profile so you can wear them while lying on your side, easy to listen to, and really good noise attenuation for noisy environments. Brought in New Zealand so link would be useless.

KZ AS-10 - Cheap Chinese balanced armature IEMS. I own about 8 different sets of KZs and these are the best so far, well balanced and incredibly detailed headphones, without the sibilance and harsh treble of KZs other models. Purchased from Aliexpress: https://bit.ly/2Qd2hHo

KZ ZS6 - Much deeper bass response than the AS-10s, but harsh treble for music like rock or metal, I use these for electronic music. Purchased from aliexpress, same as above.

The SE215s were my go to when out of the house, with the HD485s the rest of the time, but the AS10s have taken over for most uses now.

KZ ZS10 4+1 hybrid it's a little tricky to drive on my S7, Volume is not quite high even when maxxed out, on V30 it's much better fuller bass and 60% volume is already loud.

KZ had overpowered treble sibilance since the zs5 series which can get tiring if I pair it with V30, but they fixed it in this edition. Bought mine from AliExpress but i guess you can buy it on amazon.

Pioneer SE-CH9T, bought in a local music store. I bought it to replace a pair of Shure SE215s that just developed a broken cable for the second time (the original Shure replacement cable that I bought lasted about 2 years, while the cable that originally came with the headphones lasted for more than 4). They are about the same price as the SE215s (slightly less than 100€), but they sound so much better! They're louder, clearer and have more bass. I'm really loving them.

You should be able to get them just about everywhere (Amazon should have them all around the world).

Shipping was much quicker than I expected, a week or 2. They sound good to me, about 50 percent volume is loud enough for me.

I got the 150 ohm version because they are cheap and wasn't sure how well the V30 would drive high impedance, low efficiency phones. Next time I'll get the 320 ohm version for $75cad.

I bought them for their modibility. I was torn, I didn't want to buy a pair of "expensive" iems only to not like them. I figured I might be able to tune them to what I think at least sounds acceptable for the amount of money I paid. They do actually sound great. I haven't had buyers remorse at all. Plus, my nerdiness allows me to tinker with them, which I like.

Thanks for reporting.

150 ohm, that's high.

Why are you getting the 320 ohm version?

What do you expect to be better?

I would like to replace my Sennheiser cx-500i with ones that will activate the DAC
[LG V30 Accessories] Murbert:
These headphones activate the quad dac and the phone easily drives them past what I can listen to.

I don't know exactly what happens with higher Ohm headphones, I think there is an improvement in bass. I won't get them soon, I have 2 sets of earbuds and a pair of Fidelio X2. I'm good for awhile.

Edit to add: here's an article on the difference between high and low impedance. https://www.cnet.com/news/headphone...d-to-know-about-low-vs-high-impedance-models/

Interesting stuff though.

I didn't know that you could actually buy a pair of headphones for $55000 (sennheiser orpheus ) possibly OTT even for the V30+...

Let us know how (if?) the 320 ohm ones sound.

EDIT: According to this they might not work properly

Hi guys. I would like to know a thing:

I have bought a Mi 8 already unlocked from a shop. If I want to relock the bootloader again and bound my account to it, for future unlocks in case of wrong flash with Mi Flash (default flash mode is: "clean all and relock", that I can also omit to see for error), can I flash China without incurring in a brick? Because the phone will be delivered to me with Global Rom (that I know generate a brick with relocked bootloader).

Thanks to who will answer me.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] BigBrunoRamos:
I have the same question... It's possible change the account used for the bootloader unlock?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8730448:
Without any other method to do this, we can only relock bootloader and follow the common way to unlock it with own account.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ekc_1971:
I purchased a Xiaomi mi 8 with unlocked bootloader without notice from the reseller. The outcome when I updated with miflash was a bricked phone. When I tried to use miunlock I saw a message that my phone is not bound to this account.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8730448:
Mhh... Seems you have used the third option of Mi Flash (clean all and relock).

Have you tried to relock bootloader with China ROM or Global ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ekc_1971:
Nothing seems to work. I can change Roms using adb sideload but the problem is that always is a bootloop.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8730448:
I haven't understand well.

In pratice you have bricked device, but you can reflash something using adb sideload? ?

Give me details. ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ekc_1971:
I am using xiaomiadb.exe . You boot in recovery mode and then you drag and drop the rom over xiaomiadb. Pc suit sees the version. I have managed this way to change many roms, but the main problem is the boot loop.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8730448:
Have you tried to flash a China ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ekc_1971:
Yes, I have tried everything I could think of. I am afraid that the only solution is to use Mi unlock, but I can't to that because the reseller send me the phone with unlocked bootloader. The program checks at the begging if I have permissions, then checks if the phone is a Mi 8, it passes that test too, but the message I get then is that this phone is not bound to this account.

---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ----------

I have asked Xiaomi Global service about that. They don't offer support. They don't recognize the Chinese e-shops as authorized resellers. And I suppose that a phone can't be bound to two accounts. The only thing I can say for sure is that the global version has a red label on the box and the manual is in English. Watch the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Nx-jjTVh_8&t=107s
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8730448:
So it can't be possible to flash anything (also China, that was the born ROM of this phone) with option "Clean all and relock" of Mi Flash, without incurring in a bootloop?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8730448:
The fact is that you can bound the phone to every account, if you can boot it with locked bootloader.

But if this can't be done, developer options menu will show you that bootloader is already unlocked, without possibility of bound your own account.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8730448:
Oh wait, you can't use mi flash because your account it's not authorized for EDL.

Now I have understand because you can't relock bootloader. ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ekc_1971:
When miunlock starts it checks if I have permission for EDL. It passes the test. But then it says that my phone is not bound to my account. The bootloader was unlocked so I suppose someone has bound my phone with his account.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8730448:
Ok, so you can't use Mi Flash.

Now it's all clear.

Thanks for your explanation. ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] BigBrunoRamos:
I'm having an idea ... My device is about to arrive. It will be a Chinese variant with bootloader unlocked by the store for installation of a global ROM. So if I flashed a Chinese ROM again, I could re-block the bootloader, correct? So I will boot the phone with the blocked bootloader in the Chinese ROM and I can associate my account and unlock the bootloader again, only this time with my own account. Would it work?

Sorry for my english, I'm using the Google Tradutor.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8730448:
The problem is that you need to bound your account to your Mi 8, otherwise you can't use Mi Flash to relock your phone.

And you also can't lock it by fastboot, because this operation delete recovery and system partitions, generating a total brick.

Unfortunately my current Mi Max 2 was one of these unlucky phones, and I have learn lesson myself.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8730448:
The best thing that you can do is:

Use last version of Mi PC Suite 3 to flash global and twrp to flash custom, and if you need to return on global from twrp, just flash original Xiaomi recovery and reuse Mi PC Suite 3.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ekc_1971:
Υοu're welcome. It's my first ever Xiaomi but I think that for a while because it's a new phone of the market we must leave it untouched for a while. I mean rooting, custom roms, e.t.c.

However I will sure of this when I will see it.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] liorderei:
so let me get it straight, if I receive my device with unlocked bootloader and I accidentally brick my phone then the only option to unbrick it is using EDL but since the device bounded to the seller I can't do it?

I bought my device from joybuy and the seller promised the device arrives in lock mode, but I'm not sure I can trust him. anyone bought from there and get tell me if it's locked?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ekc_1971:
The only global version I have seen is sold from Honorbuy. The majority of the others are Chinese phones. In my case the phone was in used and unsealed box so on Monday I'm sending it back. The global version has a label on the top cover of the box, english manual, adapter and the bootloader is locked. I bought if from GeekBuying and I don't trust them at all.

I have tried everything cause I don't want to wait for weeks but the only solution is the unlock app. Many many users are facing the same problem, so in my opinion the best way is to buy the Gloabal version or if you get the Chinese version check first the state of the bootloader. But I don't know if you will be able to use the unlock app cause in eu.xiaomi.com I have seen users with bricked Xiaomi phones who are waiting for months and their phones are still bricked.

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

I am waiting for your review when you get your phone!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] liorderei:
I've just went into the reviews in joybuy and people say that they got Chinese version with locked bootloader, which is good I guess.

update:

I asked the seller if the bootloader is locked and this is what they answered:

"Dear customer, regarding your order, the phone is Chinese version, so it needs root & flash to global Version to install Google play. From the product page: Unlock Phones: Yes . We don't really understand the bootloader means. Thank you for your trust and support. Have a nice day "

*facepalm*

I guess if they don't know what bootloader is then it's locked?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ekc_1971:
The customer service is a mess in almost every Chinese website. After sales is even worst. If you ask me the very first thing you have to do is to bound your device to your account, to see if everything is OK and you can bound your device. In my case I will ask for a refund and I will buy a Global version.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] liorderei:
I'm not sure how I can bind the device, I hope it won't come to it, I'll appreciate if you could help me in case I'll do need to.

so is your device currently bricked? I'd like to know if they'll give you hard time about it.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ekc_1971:
First you have to make an account and then you have to go to settings, choose unlock status and put your account details. My phone is bricked, I can't bound it to my account and the worst part is that I ordered a Global version and they send to me a Chinese in a used and unsealed box. I am full of anger and frustration.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] :
If all goes well I will post some photos and tricks to flash device (maybe also with bound account ?)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ekc_1971:
I am waiting! Mine till I get the refund and order the new one will take I guess 15 days at least.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] skanskan:
You can unbind the phone from the old account and bind it to a new one.

But if the phone is already bricked we got a problem.

Anyway it's a shame Xiaomi locks de bootloader.

It's a shame Xiaomi designed the phone to get bricked when you try to relock it.

It's a shame Xiaomi asks you for money to get an authorization to unbrick it.

It's a shame Xiaomi doesn't recognize all of their sellers and don't give support if you bought from them.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ekc_1971:
I already have sent it back to the reseller. After all the phone was inside an unsealed and used box. It's my first Xiaomi so I don't have an old account and after sales service was all about under the sun. I am not willing to accept a phone advertized as Global version when it's in reality a Chinese one with Global version. When I refund I'm gonna order a Global version. Xiaomi in my opinion want's to stop resellers from selling Chinese phones as "Global" versions so no you have to wait two months to unlock the bootloader. That way they will be not able to sell "Global" versions.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] :
Hi.

My phone has arrived today, after only 7 days from tracking enabling.

Perfect package and phone (obviously).

P.S = If you want to bound your account to your Mi 8, you must flash China Rom with option "clean all and relock" on Mi Flash (check if your phone is China based, before do this). After this operation, you must wait 72 hours (720 is a bug of unlocking tool) before unlock it again.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] fatjanhushi:
I was looking at this website where they buy edl authorised accounts and I saw something about Mi account unlink with IMEI number. Does this mean that we can unlink seller's account and link ours to use with Mi unlock ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] :
Sorry, I never use this service.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] fatjanhushi:
So did you try flashing China ROM with clean all and lock to a Mi8 china version with bootloader unlocked and global ROM and it booted ok?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ekc_1971:
I am glad for you, the waiting is over. :laugh:Today I will have to ask for a refund and it will take 3-6 days until I get my money back. So where did you buy it from? It's global version, I mean it has the manual in English, and the charger is fit for Europe?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] :
Sorry for late response...

I have buy it from Banggood, but it's chinese. However there is also a global version for more 20 euros (350 in total with coupon).
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] sinygm:
Yes you can do that. I too got my mi8 with unlocked bootloader and with miui global rom. I was about to relock the bootloader when I luckily came across many threads and discussions about bricked phones.

So I flashed miui China rom with mi flash tool and locked the bootloader and am waiting for unlock permission after I bound my account with the phone.
