It's vague because there's no detailed reproduction steps and configuration information for developer to work with. It's like telling a garage to fix your car without even telling them what exactly happened or even what car you have. If a developer doesn't have enough information to reproduce...

Can you relock the boot loader after flashing the global ROM? Or does Googe Pay works without relocking BL?

Don't know about SE. But when I first got my Mi 8 with Chinese ROM, and installed Google apps, the contacts wouldn't sync. Google Pay didn't work. It also didn't allow changing the launcher and some other default apps.

There are stable release for MI8 and friends posted: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=281632

8.8.30 is still 8.1. Is that table for the next build?

If you don't want any Google apps, why not just stay with China ROM?

I remember you mentioned elsewhere that 8.8.16 already has etc/gps.conf but still having issue with GPS lock after a while? If so, can you try disable A-GPS?

Thanks for the explanation. Just to clarify. You have it working on Mi 8?

Are you able to say "OK Google" without pressing any key/button to bring up Assistant wiht Mi 8? A lot of us with Mi 8 can't get that to work.

Then it doesn't work. The hot words are supposed to wake the phone and bring up the Assistant with only the voice.

Just to clarify. You can say "OK Google" to the phone and it brings up Assistant?

Time for some update on the common issues seen here. Please reply if you have 8.8.16 installed. GPS: Does it work for more than a couple of hours of phone use? Especially after the phone goes to sleep? Google Pay: Can you pay with NFC? Do SafetyNet tests pass? Please note there's a SafetyNet...

The real cause of the whole MI8 GPS issue is the missing gps.conf file: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/8-8-16.45718/page-5#post-437639 You can find the gps.conf file here: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/8-8-16.45718/page-5#post-437644

That sounds promising. One more thing: Does Bluetooth turn back on after you turn on Airplane mode and turn off? Some reported that BT stay off even after Airplane mode is off.

They re-uploaded MI8 file to solve the Google Pay issue. Can you verify you flashed the latest one? Check the MD5 of your download. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=3700668719832238342
