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).

Mine should be here anyday, with mi mix I have no problems with any apps, Los 16 coming soon apparently for mi8, which will need minimum twerking to work on mix 3, don't forget there's also twrp to test. How I can unlock instantly

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.

Yeah EE. How about the ROM, any issue with just selecting english when you boot the phone up. Can you download google services or do I need to tinker with it a bit more

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...

There are some workarounds to get assistant working on Chinese rom. I had no issues w assistant except using ok Google voice command. EU room has it mapped to AI button.

I believe you can get it working in LOS but you have to mess about with Magisk.

Has Anyone tried Rooting the p40 lite?
looks like there are not any roms. I was looking for how to install google play also, but did not find anything that would work well

I need Google store too. P40 Lite E
Look guys I need to root my phone to install Aurora store as a system app.. Cause I dont want to manually install apps.. Lol>
Aurora Store is a awesome alternative for Google play store.
If you need Youtube and Youtube Music use the Vanced version.
I want official Google store
Try Googlifier it really works, downgrade your Nova 7i to previous version using usb otg dload method and install the Googlifier and follow the instructions.
I am using Emui 10.0.1.136 all google services will work except the maps, you have to use some old version of maps, in my case 10.49.3 worked .
Secondly sigma key is providing the bootloader unlocking but i am not sure how it works but i have checked on their website for the supported huawei mobiles and it states the Model. JNY-LX1 .
Try v.10.56.1, install from Aurora.
I installed that version on my Mate40 pro and works great.
Before that I had 10.49.3 as the last one who works fine ... I was the one who recommended this version as the latest functional.

It can only be unlocked by sigma key. And it's a expensive software.

No no, it ia specifically for JNY-LX1 go there site sigmakey select the Manufacturer and scroll down to select the device, there you can see the available service which clearly states the unlocking of bootloader, once unlocked rooting is not a problem.

Hi, which firmware version did you use to downgrade your JNY-LX2 and which region? mine is C25.
I want to root my phone but I never seen any tutorials about it. I think I lived under the rock as I heard you can't root a P30 but I still want an answer from people. Does Magisk work on P30?

Aún nada del Root ???
I'm starting to get frustrated with my K30 Pro Zoom. I'm honestly thinking of selling this thing and buying a Poco F3. It was fine for a year and then all of a sudden just a a week or twp ago it started failing the cts profile match safety net check. I can't use banking apps anymore nor I can download netflix. The phone is not even rooted it just has an open bootloader because the phone originally came in with a chinese rom. I don't wanna root the phone or install magisk. Will this thing ever get fixed?!

It is possible that it is the same with an F3.
I re-lock my bootloader and put a stock rom and it didn't change anything.
Bank apps work but no netflix et disney.

I highly doubt that an untouched stock phone can fail safety net. It's this stupid Xiaomi EU rom man.

No I meant Poco F3 is stock rom so it wouldn't fail Safety Net. It's this Xiaomi EU rom that's at fault.

I don't know about the F3 but for the F2, I'll repeat it with the bootloader locked and the V12.5.2.0.RJKMIXM rom, it doesn't work.
Even some Aosp ROMs which had the certified playstore without root have the same problem.
(I might try later with an android 10 stock rom).DONE
try with android 10 roms: Stock V12.0.4.0.QJKMIX and EU rom V11.0.19.0.QJKCNXM_v11-10=CTS FAIL
but netflix and Disney+ are on Playstore .

Yep. I flashed the latest stable Xiaomi EU build last night (12.5.2) still fails Safety Net.
I forgot how these android 10 rom are faster and smoother and easier in terms of aurorizations compared to the last builds.Also batterie life.
ok some options are missing but nothing important so for the moment I will stay on the XIAOMI EU rom V11.0.19.0.QJKCNXM.

Google Play updated today and I think it fixed the CTS Profile Match. I can see Netflix and my banking apps now on the Google Playstore.
{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted}
I honestly didn't do anything. Google updated the Playstore today and that fixed the issue for me. I can now access Netflix and my banking apps.
I'm on Xiaomi EU 12.5.5 stable
PlayStore is working normal on Miui Global or EEA rom, also with unlocked bootloader. I also debloated lot's of unnecessary stuff from rom, everything still working normal. Debloating doesn't require root only USB debugging in dev. settings.
