I might be late with this but I know many people have complained about battery percentage could not be shown I notification bar due to too little space besides the notch. To my surprise it is possible just as before you have to enable it in settings.

As far as I understand, you can but you have to flash the same Android version as you have now. I don't have mi 8 but I can many people have gotten problem flashing global stable and locking bootloader at same time. Remember to keep bootloader unlocked otherwise it'll be nightmare to unlock it...

You get that message because the driver is not installed properly. You have to check if you can communicate with phone via ADB/fastboot. In Windows go to device manager and check if you have Android bootloader interface driver.

This the copy of post from the MIUI forum I linked: "Here is what I've done. 1. I knew what exactly ROM version i had on my device when i locked the bootloader (V9.5.19.0.ODGMIFA which is the latest GLOBAL version) but you can check this with the PC Suite if you don't know 2. I went here...

Hi! Again I was very curious about your case and looks like xiaomi want to prevent flashing global rom in China version phone. This is something new for me but looks like if you install Mi PC suite V.3 and boot to recovery it will reinstall the global and it will work properly. Maybe :)...

Ok never heard of Mi flash pro but good to know:) Russian is 9.5.14 but I guess it's like global that require unlocked bootloader. PS: Have you tried to install Chinese V 9.5.11?

How would you flash recovery firmware if you can not boot to system nor you can flash TWRP recovery? How could you unlock bootloader before you flashed global rom? Yes China global no need unlocked bootloader. To my knowledge You have 2 possibility. Unlock bootloader and flash whatever you want...

You need to unlock bootloader to be able to use Mi flash tool for fastboot firmwarel. Use Mi unlock tool to unlock bootloader again.

This is not the case with latest ROM from 8.8.3

There are a new TWRP V 3.2.3 with built-in Magisk and EDL boot for MI 8 SE. I personally just flashed from fastboot but there is automated installer included Use Google translate it is China Forum Link: http://www.miui.com/thread-15964692-1-1.html

I'm ordering from AliExpress and actually I have never paid custom duty as I always ask seller to write 10$ value on custom declaration. I'm also sure you can find xiaomi gadgets on eBay from EU stock.

It certainly will but again together with gateway. I don't have one but actually I am gonna order one, it's really cute and funny :-)

I have Xiaomi bulbs everywhere in my house, both the colors and only white. They work perfectly and since I bought them, 2 years ago, all of them is still alive :) they can be configured in many ways in interaction with other mi smart devices. But yes with body sensors and gateway you will have...

The most important thing is to unlock bootloader and enable developer option, USB debugging in case you do something wrong. Xioami flash tool is really good for flashing official firmware but be aware of the options to flash and lock bootloader again. Always read flashing guide carefully before...

That is right and life can go on without Xioami phone too.. I think it's not fair require unlocked bootloader to upgrade official global firmware but state that unlocked bootloader compromises security and safety of the phone. How many times Xioami claimed " this phone" is only for China market...

That is correct but some people did succeeded with two accounts trick but now Xioami fixed that and closed the holes. People with VIP account and phone number from China can unlock bootloader in no time. I know because I have got help to unlock my phone.

I will send you PM

Hmm, I have been using Xiaomi phones for many years now. I bought 7 xiaoni phones mostly flagships and was able to unlock them immediately but Mi 8 SE no way. I have nothing against locked bootloader but I have very much against phones without Google play store, missing languages and apps in...

That is what I said but how do you get VIP account outside China and with Chinese telephone number?

Unfortunately that is the fact with new phones. I was angry too and was writing about that on MIUI Forum. Fortunately there were a Chinese guy who helped me to unlock with his VIP account. So if you cannot get Mi VIP account or get help from someone who has it then you have to wait. Once you...
