Mi Max 3: Go to Settings. Go to System apps. Go to Quick apps. Nothing happens. Repeat 3 a few times. Error occurs. java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to get provider org.hapjs.bridge.provider.SettingsProvider: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class...

Gleiches Problem auf einem gebrauchten Mi Mix. Das Gerät war aber "glücklicherweise" bereits entsperrt, von daher konnte ich ein AOSP ROM aufziehen. MIUI kann ich jedoch nicht verwenden, da ich genau in die selbe Sackgasse gerate. Falls irgendjemand von euch das Ganze doch noch einmal lesen...

It's been a long time, but yes. As for the link you provided, I know the generic way of unlocking Mi devices, so the information there isn't really news to me. I once again sum up my issue: 1. I flash the Xiaomi.eu ROM, clean of course. 2. The initial Mi-Setup pops up on boot, as its a fresh...

The Mi Unlock process works in a way that it stores the Mi account ID in a offset inside the config partition. This partition doesn't get reset by fastboot flashes afaik as its not part of the fastboot package. It's been too long since I last messed with bootloader reverse engineering... but...

The real question here is... will I be able to do this on a used phone that has previously been unlocked by another user? This is my whole issue here... It would suck if I went and relocked this thing (just to get rid of the remnant unlock information that seems to still be stored on the phone...

Will I be able to unlock the phone afterwards though? I don't want to end up on a locked bootloader in the process.

That's exactly what I did though...

I've bought my Mi Mix used and have been using AOSP based ROMs ever since the start (it came pre-unlocked). Now I've wanted to give the Xiaomi.eu ROM a try but during the initial setup it asks for the phones "linked" Mi account password, which I can only assume belong to the original owner of...

The reason I don't want to share my knowledge about this is because I don't know how to prevent meid damage when changing imei... So if you were to follow my instructions all you would get is an extremely expensive 2g only phone. You are better off selling the device (in its current fully...

Trust me when I say this... Don't do this. I know how to but seriously... Don't make me tell you, you WILL mess up your phone.

Sad to tell you but an IMEI Change is impossible without the Service Programming Code of your phone. The only time its possible to IMEI Change without the SPC is when your NVRam got corrupted, then you can inject any NVRam dump you want without needing an SPC. While I know of a way to corrupt...

Will they face legal issues? Yes, for sure, but so does Samsung and many other competitors on the market. In the end it's a question of whether the annual revenue outweighs the annual costs, including costs like lawsuits. If that revenue is big enough then they will expand, regardless of...

@mephistozap About your statement that you would change phones before the battery dies anyway and such... The initial reason I had to ditch my MI2 and replace it was storage size. I would have kept that phone for pretty much ever if it weren't for that, and I plan to keep my new current one...

That among other things like their decision to abandon exchangeable batteries on their flagships is the reason why I've distanced myself from Xiaomi again, even though I love them and really enjoyed my 2 year long stay with my MI2. I love the look of the new MI4 but it's not enough to get me...

MI3 already has it... And they announced that their phone series will be getting it already... So... Why so angry? Besides if you really can't wait, MI2S is officially supported by CM so you can get your KitKat kick right away if you wanted.
