    Root+encryption?

    The key to doing this is to ensure you modify the fstab.qcom file before booting the ROM first time. Flash ROM. Reboot recovery Mount vendor eg. adb pull /vendir/etc/fstab.qcom c:\temp\ edit fstab.qcom as described adb push c:\temp\fstab.qcom /vendor/etc/ unmount vendor Boot ROM

    Mi 8 Pro - Mi 8 UD - equuleus - Flashing International EE ROM

    Oui Laurent, meme le lecteur d''empreinte digitale! (I assume you are French with a name like Chardin!) Yes, the ursa roms (Explorer edition) have the same fingerprint sensor as the Mi8 Pro - so the finger print sensor works. This is not the case with normal Mi 8 Roms.

    Mi 8 Pro

    1. No global version yet. There are Google services installers, and the rom is workable, but it has lots of chinese. 2. Nothing to worry about if you unlock your bootloader. If you are in china and have a chinese mobile phone number, you can create a mi account and unlock your phone immediately...

    Managed to download the original Rom with Xiaomi Tool - but I am currently running the xiaomi.eu ROM for ursa on my equuleus... works great. Version 10.0.6

    Flash Mi 8 EE China Version to EU ROM?

    N idea of what you are trying to say, and no idea what the ***s are in your post. Not particularly useful.

    Flash Mi 8 EE China Version to EU ROM?

    OK. Yes, you need an unlocked bootloader to do that. Before any of the below, you need to set up adb on a computer. (If you don't know how to do this, you're in for a long ride, but you will get there. Search for this on google.) On your phone enable developer options, and enable USB debugging...

    Flash Mi 8 EE China Version to EU ROM?

    Xiaomi accounts in CHina do not have to wait - speak to your chinese reseller and ask them if they can create an account for you linked to a chinese SIM card - of they send you the verification codes (they need to agree to do this at a certain time) you can unlock straight away.

    Mi 8 Pro - Mi 8 UD - equuleus - Flashing International EE ROM

    OK. This is a no go for now. No Sound, no fingerprint sensor, and no selfie camera. I'm going back to the Chinese ROM - much as this pains me... until I can get a working global ROM for the Explorer edition - some of these state they are for the Explorer edition, but most sites say there is no...

    Mi 8 Pro - Mi 8 UD - equuleus - Flashing International EE ROM

    If you are happy with the ROM - then stick with it. I cannot live with some apps in Chinese and unable to do anything about it so went down the unlock bootloader route.

    Mi 8 Pro - Mi 8 UD - equuleus - Flashing International EE ROM

    Hello, just came back from China where I bought the just released Mi 8 Pro. I actually wanted a Mi Explorer edition - but this is identical apart from the 3D Face unlock. Personally, with the in screen fingerprint sensor, I don't need that. With some help of a driver that took us some places...
