Hi,
Okayyy having some trouble.
The story so far...
Okayyy having some trouble.
The story so far...
- Bought phone (Kenzo) from GearBest, came preflashed with a vendor ROM (Something like version 7.1.99.99)
- Managed to get temporary root using Kingroot 4.5.
- Managed to flash the Global Stable ROM using MiFlash in adb EDL mode.
- Unable to obtain root on this ROM, given ALL MY DATA WAS WIPED, I need root to allow the app called "DiskDigger" to run properly and have a chance at recovering some of my data, thus I want to get root in as few disk writes as possible.
- I can't install the xiaomi.eu ROM as I don't have an unlocked bootloader.
- I can't unlock the bootloader as I get a "Couldn't verify device" error, "current account is different to account info on the device", which is not true.
- I cannot use the "Updater" app to switch to Official China Dev ROM, (which would allow me to unlock without permission, as per that [Ultimate guide] thread), as you can't cross from Global to China using the Updater app.
- It's at this point I've lost track of what I've done. I've verified everything I can see on i.mi.com and signed in on the unlock tool and on the device with the mobile number, so I'm lost as to what I should try next, I feel like I'm going to break something (or overwrite all my files) if I keep guessing.
