OK, thanks for the information! Don't understand why the default fstab.qcom does not just use FBE though by default. Searching the forums, it appears that it is a hit-or-miss, with some people reporting GPay works, others not, regardless if GPay/GPServices data cleared, and/or SafetyNet check...

Hi @LOLO9393, After you flashed EU ROM, wouldn't you need to wipe /data in TWRP? Or is it that you forced TWRP to use rm -fr (via TWRP settings)? I tried this on a Mi 8 and it did not work: "clean all" MiFlash Global ROM (10.3.2.0) went through entire set up (Google and Xiaomi accounts)...

Facing install issues on Mi 6 using 10.3 stable. Same issue on data or Wi-Fi. Download will hang at the end. If download is complete, killing Play Store and rerunning will continue the install.

Nope... Still showing the same exact problem as you described (i.e. image filename suffixed with underscore + some string of numbers which is presumed to be Whatsapp user ID) on my Mi 6 running EU 9.0.5.0 NCACNEI...

OK, found the solution (which I missed because I downloaded directly from TWRP and never hit this thread before now): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72620133&postcount=2

After moving my Mi6 from EU ROM to Global Stable 8.2.2.0, I realised that MIUI has now programmed either the boot.img or system.img to overwrite recovery partition on every "normal"/system boot. So much for unlocking the bootloader... Since EU MIUI successfully prevents the China Stable ROM...

My beef with the phone is they started following all the iDioTs out there who design screens with curved glass... 80+% of the people I know buy cases for the phones, so that "nicer feeling" of the "curved edges" is bull... Now, with the curved glass, all the tempered glass screen protectors...

Sorry, is this the "Mi Mix" or the "Mi 6"? I suppose the former since there is no Mi 6 256GB version? Interesting suggestion of root cause. I have the same issue, but have not checked the file names and lengths to determine any pattern as yet - will start paying attention and check back here.

So, it seems Xiaomi finally released a "global stable" version (7.3.5.0) for the Mi 5... Check out thread-289107-1-1.html on en.miui.com

OK, hopefully your testing has not mucked anything up which you cannot recover from. I have used the following method successfully. Try the following steps in order: hard reset the device power the device off press and hold volume up + power button until Mi logo appears in recovery: select...

Yeah, I will consider rooting temporarily just to remove some of the malware/crapware... I guess I will need a lot of time to experiment to see if we can remove the Security and Security Framework modules, as well as the Xiaomi Framework module... Will need to be careful to replace with some...

Hi, Gallery forces me to sync, otherwise I cannot create albums - even when I do, it creates it appears to create it online instead of on the phone (the album is found under "Cloud" instead of "Offline"). How may I manage photos (e.g. in folders/albums) offline (i.e. local storage) using the...
