    Miui Rom On Mi A1 To Have A Mi 5x With Unlocked Lte

    And that is EXACTLY how it was on MI3/MI4 when they initially release these phones. Later, due to luck of the available space on 16 Gb version, they are merged them. I am absolutely confident repartitioning could be done with help of Qualcomm tools. After that ROM for 5x could be flashed in...

    Refurbished Mi 5s?

    I would assume that seller would lock back bootloader if it refurbish phone. It is rather easy by flashing standard original ROM. But you may have a point. If it is lazy, it may simply reset without proper reflash. BTW, if you unlock bootloader most of Chinese sellers will not accept it back...

    Refurbished Mi 5s?

    You do not need engineering cable to flash a rom. It could be helpful in some situations with Qualcomm chips and vendor "locked" EDL mode, but in most cases you do not need it. Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk

    Refurbished Mi 5s?

    Why do you think it was refurbished? Unlocked boot loader has nothing to do with phone refurbishment. More important check that it is not link to someone MI account. Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk

    Xiaomi mi4 FDD LTE

    Probably they do not care (I would not too), but honestly in almost all European country we have at least one provider that uses Band 3 (supported in that phone). It works for me (checked with sim from my home LTE modem), but LTE contracts are still way too expensive in all EU countries and I...

    Xiaomi mi4 FDD LTE

    I think you did not understand my comment. So in plain language: I do have LTE contract. It could be used as LTE or 3g+. And in everyday use there is no speed improvement for me. Real life speed in both modes are less then maximum for 3G+ and about 10 to 15 in the capital vs. 20 to 30 (ideal...

    Going between unofficial dev v6 and official dev v6

    Xiaomi mi4 FDD LTE

    Do you believe LTE is so critical? On my mobile LTE router I get 46-48 Mbit under LTE and "just" around 32-34 Mbit in 3G mode. As soon as many users connects it drops to 7-10 in both cases. So, where is a difference? I am in Europe. LTE basic contract is about Euro 7 more expensive. LTE with...

    Fake Xiaomi Mi3 from Ebay Seller - What to do now

    Sorry for your bad experience. Q1: how you now actual capacity of battery? In mi3 and in a fake ones battery is not assessable. Q2: why you think you have Snapdragon CPU? I am very sceptical on that. Did you try to run CPU-Z? In most cases fake mi3 are MediaTek based simply due to cost factor...
