[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
I just ordered an 8GB/256GB Chinese version that I plan on flashing to the Global ROM. All of the Global Mi Mix 3's I could find were only 6GB/128GB versions. It sounds a little odd lock out the cross-flashing because that would be the main reason for unlocking the bootloader. From what I know about devices where the hardware is exactly the same but model numbers and ID's tend to prevent cross-flashing. This is usually because of some partition or write protected sector within the devices memory. Has anyone attempted a combination ROM that would potentially allow a device to lock the bootloader with the original boot.img but perhaps a different system and radio image?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Just so I have a better understanding of what you mean, are you wanting to flash the Global ROM on your Chinese device, but find a workaround to be able to lock the bootloader without bricking, in the form of "tricking" the device in to thinking it's still using the Chinese ROM when really it isn't?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Yeah. Kind of like keeping the Chinese boot.img but the system and rest from the Global ROM. Is that even possible? I am used to flashing Google, Samsung, and LG devices, all of which have their own quirks and work-arounds.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Definitely a good idea, not sure if anyone has tried it, the closest I've seen to what you're suggesting is last year with the LG V30, I had a part in debunking when flashing a different firmware variant on your device carried over the radio.img also, so you could have access to bands that otherwise weren't available.

The flashing Global/Chinese & Chinese/Global used to allow you to lock the bootloader afterwards fine, but Xiaomi decided to change this because of third party resellers, they'd buy a Chinese Xiaomi device, flash the Global ROM on to it, lock the bootloader & sell the phone for a increased price claiming it's Global, not sure how it's worked out for Xiaomi so far but it's definitely worse for the consumers, for anyone wanting to have a variant beyond 6/128 but with a global ROM would have to also have the trade-off of never being able to lock the bootloader of the device once getting Global flashed on to there 8/128 or 8/256 Chinese device.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PWn3R:
Yes, someone has tried it. I tried a number of things and ended up creating the Magisk module in the development section that hides the CN hardware flags from the Global Rom. I do NOT suggest locking the bootloader. I can't be sure, but I would bet it will be a hard brick. DO NOT TRY IT UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO BRICK YOUR DEVICE.

While trying to find a way to do this, I tried making a custom kernel (the source Xiaomi release *might* work for an AOSP build, but it boots with lots of broken stuff on the MIUI rom). I also spent about 80 hours trying to figure out where/how the hardware country of origin is stored on these devices. I am going to continue to look into that, if I had a device I was willing to risk bricking, I would try to use one of the firehose things from Qualcomm to look into it more. I mean it's a flashable device, the likelyhood that they have *ACTUALLY* put a truly ROM chip with that information in here is really low. We'd probably need a true global one to get the correct information, assuming it is accessible from the firehose tools.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] iconoclastnet:
That's basically what kept me from buying the forbidden city edition. I don't know that I need a locked bootloader, but safetynet means it's something I can't just dismiss either. I'm not sure why Xiaomi thinks a reseller buying their phone and jacking the price up is worse than not selling the phone.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] wahyu2221:
Well, I have the Forbidden City edition & am actually flashing it now with the global fastboot ROM from the beginning of this thread. I'm actually IN China, so for me bricking the phone wouldn't be as big an issue since I can send it back to Xiaomi for free to fix.

Unfortunately, I probably don't have the technical know-how to do any testing... I was stretched to capacity simply to get the Fastboot downloaded & run the MiFlash tool.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] veesix:
Seems like global fastboot rom is available here too:

does someone knows if gpay is working on chinese phone with global rom and open bootloader? i have problems since google somehow blocking the eu roms
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
I think I get what Xiaomi was going for in preventing the bootloader lock after cross-flashing. I originally ordered an 8GB/256GB in Jade Green from Ali. After holding my money for just over a month, the person stated they couldn't get it in green and offered me the black. I didn't want the black. I told them I would settle for an 8GB/128GB in green or the 10GB/256GB Forbidden City edition instead. What showed up almost 6 weeks later was an 8GB/128GB blue. The blue is nice but I was really looking forward to the green. I actually caved after a couple of days of using the blue and ordered an 8GB/128GB in green from Ebay that should finally be here by the end of the week.

I might start start trying a little bit of combination flashing with the blue device. I still have about 30 hours to get my bootloader unlock on that, which I want to have as a fall back. Instead of flashing all, I am tempted to try flashing the rest of the Global through fastboot while preserving the Chinese boot.img or even replacing the boot.img in the Global fastboot firmware with the one from the Chinese ROM and trying the flash all command. I would ideally like to keep the device with the bootloader locked, but Global firmware on a Chinese device, but staying as close to keeping everything stock.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PWn3R:
I've been digging into this using a Mi Mix 2s I have that has a damaged cellular radio. I have done some things with FireHose and FireHorse to poke around. Based on what I've had time for so far, if we were to get a copy of the true bootloader image for the device from a Global device and flash it onto a CN device, I'm pretty sure your device would then show as Global. I have been working on trying to decompile the bootloader on the Mix 3 to confirm my suspicions, and to find out if they happen to be loading that hardware origin information from somewhere else.

Basically what I know so far is the following:

HW Origin flags are passed to the kernel by the bootloader when it starts booting the kernel

HW Origin flags are checked by the global rom system services package, but only if "secure boot" is enabled. This is why installing Magisk makes your phone bootloop if you have CN hardware and you root the global rom with Magisk. The module we have for Magisk will stop this from happening.

HW Origin flags are either IN the bootloader image (which some people I talked to about this find unlikely) or they are loaded from somewhere else by the bootloader

I have not had time for a couple weeks to work on the decompiling project I was working for the bootloader and will not have any time this weekend. If anyone else wants to try to work on this, feel free. I am sure that if we had one of the brainiacs like the guys from the Sunshine team looking at this, it would already have been bypassed, but I'm pretty sure I can figure it out with enough time.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Is there some way to check and see what bands are available for use on the device? I have seen information saying that the 6GB/128GB Chinese versions support less bands than the 8GB/256GB and 10GB/256GB versions. Does flashing the Chinese ROM to the Global ROM change the LTE bands available on the device?

I am not too sure how I can check this on the blue 8GB/128GB Chinese one I have. I don't really want to open the green 8GB/128GB if it is actually limited. I remember seeing a post around here a while back where someone confirmed that all of the original Chinese ROM devices could use all of the banks listed for the global device but I can't seem to find that post. The seller I purchased it from on Ebay also lists all of the bands for the global version for the Chinese device. This was much less confusing 2 months ago. :P
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Darn annoying crap Canadian cellular service in Toronto! I have the blue 8GB/128GB and the green 8GB/128GB, both from China. I unlocked the bootloader on the green and flashed it via fastboot to Global Stable. Regardless of which device my Telus or T-Mobile SIM's are in. I see the same towers with CellMapper that show band 2, 4, and 5. When I head back south, bands 2, 4, and 12 are all that is available around Hampton/NewPort News with T-Mobile and Telus roaming on to T-Mobile.

[LG V40 Questions & Answers] nerdydesi:
I just bought a U.S Cellular V40 on Ebay for $350. I currently have a U.S Cellular V30 I've been using for 10 months on Verizon and T-Mobile with zero problems. Apparently, all current U.S Cellular phones are factory unlocked. The V30 has no branding anywhere, no bloatware, etc. that you would think it's an unlocked model. I would also be using this V40 on Verizon and T-Mobile as I'm not even in a U.S Cellular service area.

Is the U.S Cellular V40 also free of branding, bloatware, etc?

Does it have any quirks, etc. compared to the other carrier models? Thanks!!!!
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] Whoareyou:
It sounds like your V30 was flashed to an unlocked KDZ, the US Cellular devices are definitely full of bloatware on the stock rom. I have a Sprint and my SO has USC, no bootloader access, and bloat on both.

what exactly did you do? what ROM are you coming from?

if you are switching from MIUI Official to EU ROMS.

try doing this

1. Download EU ROMS and copy to phone

2. Boot your phone to TWRP

3. if you have encryption enabled, unlock it and proceed.

4. Wipe Data / Cache / System / Dalvik Cache

5. Flash EU ROM

6. Format Data

7. REBOOT and wait

this is exactly what i did in mine. and it went through. now im on mi-globe rom.

Before updating to pie from Oreo, YouTube Vanced worked flawlessly.

After updating to pie, it sends no notifications at all.

And after some googling, it seemed this bug happens only on OnePlus pie devices (just my thought).

So I wiped everything (system, cache and everything) using TWRP.

And I installed Oxygen OS 5.1.5 Oreo 8.1.0.

But even on Oreo, the bug still appears!

Why? The app worked flawlessly before updating to pie from Oreo. What is different?
[Android Head-Units] razvanrudy:
Hi all , just git my self and installed an android head unit , it is a Pumpkin with PX5 for VW Golf MK5.

I really enjoy the change and most of the things are working properly.....

The biggest problem I have is the stock bluetooth/phone app which is ancient.

Looking to get another app for this function and not sure what will work. Must have the ability to show the favourites , contacts with pictures and if it can to sync the contacts with Google. Also if I have multiple numbers on the same contact to show only the default number and not a list with all numbers.

On the actual app if I have 4 numbers on the same contact it will show 4 lines so if I need to scroll down to , let's say V , it's gone take me long time because of all numbers been displayed on separate line.

Right now I am playing with Carwebguru( think that's the name) and working quiet well but still there are a lot of customisation which can't be done.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
The bluetooth/phone app is mostly deeply integrated with the rest of the system.

First try to find out what kind of unit you have. If it is an MTCD/E model, you should take a look at the Malaysk and/or HAL9k custom roms for PX5 mtcd/mtce models.

If you have a FYT based unit, there is actually nothing for you (I have a FYT and can't help you further on MTCD/E). All those apps are outdated and "simple".

But your entire list of wishes is most probably not possible.
[Android Head-Units] razvanrudy:
How can I find if my unit is MTCD/E or FYT. All I know about my unit is that is the lastest model from Pumpkin coming with Android 8 and has PX5 on the name. From what I found I have MCU on the menu qnd that means I have MTCD unit? Sorry but I am very new on this units
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
Share the exact type of your unit based on its SKU number (like for example SKU: VA0202B)

And share what your settings screen mentions "about this unit"

If that's not enough we have to look at your /system/build.prop
[Android Head-Units] razvanrudy:
Look like I am lucky........and I have a MTCD/E unit.

When I check on the <About> I get this

From this information I should be ok to flash any of the 2 ROM's posted above , right?

Hi guys,

I need some recommendations from you. I am coming from a chaing of Samsung devices. (S3, S7 Edge, my latest device was a Note 8, which I sadly lost on the weekend), so now I need something new...

Simple question, after your experiences with the P20 Pro, would you still recommend it?

My most important priorities for a mobile are:

1.) Camera!

2.) Battery / runtime

3.) Updates

in that order.

I don't care about rooting & flashing any more tbh, these times are behind me :D

I am also not a big mobile gamer.

Other contenders I think about next to the P20 Pro are currently:

- S9+

- Oneplus 6T

- ?

Would you still go for the P20 pro? Or select something different?

Here is what I wrote :

Got my P20 pro 2 weeks ago.

I come from Sony (Z, Z2, XZ,...) and decided to change after lots of frustration (Sony SHOULD be better. Why do others do better with their own hardware ?!)

I chose the P20 pro for its camera, after reading lots of 'reviews'...

And I'm very disapointed... IA is bull****, I don't use it.

Zoom has nothing to do with 'optical' : you get better results cropping a 40 Mo 'pro' mode picture.

But the worst thing is distortion, that's just incredible...

I'll come back with pictures, I'm at work now !

Just my 2 cents : try to find someone that can make you try the P20 pro camera. Maybe you'll like it (many do), many you won't.

now that I know, I would not buy without testing myself.

+ v9 update has lots of important bugs (see posts in this forum) , I went back to 8.1.
