Hey guys,
Sold my P2XL and am waiting to buy this thing. How long do we normally wait for an international device? Global rom? I'm contemplating buying the CN version and flashing the UK software over it once it becomes available, instead of waiting for the international hardware.
Thanks!
I'm waiting on global too. Don't want to have to unlock bootloader.

So, all the versions will come with locked bootloaders chinese/global roms. How are they unlockable?? Do we have to get the key from Xiaomi?
Normal xiaomi unlocking procedure using the unlocking tool. With my global xiaomi mi mix 2 (bought in Spain Amazon xiaomi store) I even had to use Chinese VPN to unlock it

Wow, that really sucks, the good old days seem in the past where you could plug it in and unlock it with the PC with command line tools.
Has anyone received the Mi Mix 3 and tested unlocking the bootloader yet? Was looking at ordering today. My Mi Mix came with the bootloader unlocked however does not appear to be an option on the selling sites.
Mix 3 is to be released in Taiwan at the end of Nov or early Dec, it'll be the global version. Don't know about other markets.
I ordered mine from geekbuying and hopefully will be mailed soon... I thought it was released 11/1/2018... That's weird...

Mine has been despatched from mi store on AliExpress, Some phones now unlock instantly, not sure how this is working. I've downloaded the program, only for Windows though which could be tricky for me. Maybe the Chinese ones can be unlocked instantly but not global. One person was trying to unlock his phone and managed it in 1 minute, so I explained to someone with mi maax global and it didn't work for him,
I think unlocking is account related, pretty sure you're now only allowed to unlock 1 phone per month.

yes,Unlocking and account association。 Previously MIX2 has been unlocked, it takes 72 hours, now the binding device can solve BL
If you buy from Gearbest/Aliexpress a lot of the time you'll get a vendor ROM therefore an unlocked bootloader.

Yes answered wrong question,. I have bought Chinese version, does it have to be released in you're country for you to buy it? Is a global version not good enough, that should be available in a few weeks.
Hi all.
I know the 8th November Xiaomi UK launch is rumoured to include the Mi Mix 3, but I'm not confident that it will. Besides, if it does it will probably be priced in line with other handsets oof similar spec in the UK.
I'm thinking of buying one from a Chinese source such as AliExpress or Gearbest, but I'm now questioning if I'll be able to load a global ROM on it or not?
This article states that phones pre installed with Chinese ROM cannot have Global installed: https://www.gizmochina.com/2018/09/...-miui-china-rom-no-longer-support-global-rom/
Does anyone know if this is the case? When I got my original MIX I was able to flash Global with no problems.
Thanks,
Dom
You can flash a global rom on a China device, but you can't relock bootloader
Ok thanks... So if you can't re-lock the bootloader, I guess apps like Google Pay won't work?

Sorry for the double post.
Do you have any detail about that? Or a source?
My original Mix 1 bootloader was unlocked, Global flashed, and then re-locked.
Has this changed recently?
Thanks

Thanks for your help. I believe the UK release is rumoured to be the Mi 8 Explorer. So I will probably order a CN Mix 3 and hope that the China ROM is fully compatible with the UK after GAPPS are installed.
I don't think UK apps such as google pay, and most mobile banking apps, will work if the bootloader is unlocked. But I may be wrong. Anyone know?

Banking apps (atleast mine) run fine on a bootloader unlocked rooted device. I didn't try Google pay
I also have an unlocked bootloader on my Mi Mix and have no issues with Banking apps (when using Magisk).

Hi,
Can I ask how you got on? Thinking of getting it but unsure if it'll work.
Also what site did you purchase the Mix 3 on.

I got mines today and no problem with selecting English, you can install play services easily with Google installer 3.0 apk.
Might need to set some apps as system apps to ensure notifications come through straight away.

This and maybe EU rom out soon, tomorrow global without unlock if you believe the rumors
You guys think there's going to be major hardware differences with the new Global 5g version coming out in 2019 (besides the 5g capability of course) ?OR the rest of the specs should be the same? I'm not sure on ordering one now or wait for the global one to be released. But I'm assuming that the 5g should be more expensive.

I have the mi mix 3 Chinese version 256gb.. Love the phone but I can't get Google Assistant to work. I read in another post that we have to root the phone but I think the Global version will have it all preinstalled and allow the Xiaoai button to control OK Google... This is honestly the only thing I'm waiting for assuming we're able to flash the Global rom on top of the Chinese one...

Hello,
I’ve an issue unlocking the POCO X3 Bootloader. Please help if you can.
Below are the device details:
• Model – Xiaomi POCO X3
• MIUI Version – 12.0.2
• Android Version – 10
Below are the things I have done:
• Setup Mi account with my SIM Card option
• Turned on all Sync options available – Notes, Contacts etc
• ‘Find my Device’ is also working
• Mi account is successfully added to the device from Mi Unlock Status page
• OEM Unlocking & USB Debugging, USB Debugging (Security settings), Install via USB.. these options are enabled in Developer settings
• After this on connecting the app to Mi unlock tool, I’m able to sign into the Mi tool, after clicking on unlock, it goes to 99% and then throws this error.. couldn't unlock please add your account in miui settings
• I have also tried factory reset, and I have also tried making another Mi account with another SIM card.. the situation is still the same.
Please advise!
Under developer options there is a section where you need to add you Mi account details. Have you done that?
There isn't an Indian variant for POCO 3 NFC yours is Poco X3, it's another phone.... Sorry

Are you sure you did it? It is 2 options below the OEM unlock option in Developer section. You have to use mobile data only and you have to receive an ”your account is bond to your device” (or something like this) message.

I was waiting for someone to create a thread. I am also facing the same issue while following all the steps and it saying "Added successfully. Mi Account is associated with this device now.".
Mi Unlock Tool throws an error at 99% and complaints the device isn't bound to my Mi Account.
Also, one more interesting thing I have observed is that instead of a device name in Mi Cloud like "Redmi 5", it shows "M2007 J20CI" which is not Poco X3 ?
I have tweeted ( twitter.com/vasanthdevelop/status/1318798136987430913 ) to Poco about allowing us to unlock the bootloader and releasing the kernel sources.
i am also having the same issue device is added sucessfully to mi account over mobile data but mi ulock tool gets stuck at 99% saying bind your mi account to device.

Poco X3 NFC aka surya model number is M2007J20CG. On the other hand the Indiana varient aka karna model number is correctly M2007J20CI. On my international model it also displays my model number instead of device name in MI Cloud so that is not the issue I think.
Try use mi unlock tool mod version or old version.
There is a bug with trying to unlock Karna (indian version)'s bootloader.
A fix is apparently coming, I'd suggest you join the poco x3 official group on Telegram, and you should be able to get updates.

I tried joining a Poco X3 Telegram group where they just made fun that I couldn't unlock the bootloader ? is there another group? Could you give me the link to join the group? ?
This is now resolved I believe
Yes karna bootloader bug seems to be fixed
My karna got instant unlock 2 days back (probably because I tried to bind account almost a month back)

I also still can't unlock it. Did you unlock? I'm on latest 12.0.5.0 and have same error. Is Xiaomi/Poco aware of that problem? Did they respond somehow to it? Somone mentioned any reason? They promised launch day kernel source realase (another story) but what is the use of it bootloader is locked? Pathetic

My bootloader too, it's just a theme from the themestore ^^ but you have the global firmware i have the eu firmware that's why you have miui 13.0.5 and i have 13.0.3 because i have the eu version...
Mine was EU 13.0.3 too, and I flash to Global 13.0.5 with xiaomi tool
People, the problem seems to POCO Launcher.. i'm using nova launcher since last night and no reboot happened at least until now, zero reboots overnight in idle mode.
Try another launcher and please let's tell our experiences.
So I basically tried to unlock the bootloader to my Redmi Note 11 Pro + 5g and all I got was, "Mi Unlock is not supported by this device" . What the hell does that even mean??? Someone help
The only explanation i see is that the this version of the Redmi note 11 doesnt support mi unlock for the moment because its too recent

Oooh, shame then, I would have hopped Xiaomi adds support for their devices before actually releasing them
Yea would be good. I guess it sould be released soon
Update: i manage to solved the issue by flashing a EEA ROM instead of a global ROM (i flashed Global ROM before because i didnt know EEA mean Europe)

Maybe because updates dont release everywhere at the same time, its determined by the ROM
