    No Imei-No Simm-No WLAN - No no no ahhh....

    Well born 1957. The guy that's been helping with my phone is 23 and some of the guys on here that are experts are prob younger. Different world. The only mobile phones we had when I was a lad was when someone stole the local telephone box and carted it off on the back of a lorry. When I...

    To be honest it is NOT fixed. I had a great guy Magdag from India using Team Viewer to work on my phone. He was convinced it was a Base-band issue. Try as he might it could not be repaired... fortunately for me this phone is less than a month old and I have never ever even made a call on it...

    To be fair Ibuygou have always been brilliant for me when ordering a phone. Cant praise them enough. Quick efficient polite and at a decent price. With this issue they have opened a ticket for me when I am ready to take it further and the tech made a few suggestions before going down a send...

    Hi M1cha, this is what I was afraid of. Trouble is I really don't know how it happened. Strange to me. I just updated to V.6 with brand new phone. Kind of liked it but after reading several posts decided to try WIUI. Used links to get the relevant CMR. Updated to load then installed WIUI...

    You are right ... big mistake. when I see the Rom I didn't see back up your EFS. Now I know. I have been reading some of his posts and will give him a try... if he isn't tired of people like me messing up.

    Hate to hear that :-( sorry for you too. There must be a way. I have my imei number and serial on the box. If only Xiaomi could send me a file that would do it. Mind you I would prob screw that up knowing me.

    I kind of know that - I do understand what has gone wrong (how not sure as I have installed Rom's before) never-the less it happened. I have already held my hands up to say I was dumb not to make a back-up. I was hoping some one has encountered this before and can help solve it. It would...

    Think I will change my user name to 'dumb'. I bought a new Mi2s from Ibuygou. 2nd one. First one was stolen after two days. I decided to try the V6 official update, OK but read about Wiui and it was recommended. Also CM-R. So I installed clockwork mod and then Wiui via clockwork mod...

    Fortinho Hi Help explaining fastboot process. I didn't ask at first because I thought I could figure it out myself from posts and whatever instructions are online. Unfortunately I cannot find exactly what I need in terms of files (apart from CMR) to do this job. Please, can you explain the...
