Pertti, do you know if anyone in Europe offers a reflash service. This thing has already robbed me of enough hours of my life......

Previously I had tried to unlock after getting permission, via Mac. The MI5 was not recognised and I thought it was a problem with using emulation software on a mac. Now I have a windows PC with PC suite installed. I have the most recent USB 3 drivers installed, and the phone is set up for USB...

Could some kind soul, post some screen shots of the process of bootloader unlock and reflashing with the EU ROM. That would be very helpful, and perhaps it could become a sticky thread.

I couldn't get virtual box to work. Very strange, with VM I managed to get photos off the phone with a USB cable, but the pc suite doesn't recognize that the phone is connected for the purpose of using the unlock tool. Again, kind of annoying.

Well the Xiaomi PC Suite doesn't seem to work through VMWare Fusion. The device isn't recognized even with USB debugging enabled. I will try with virtual box and extension pack. Kind of annoying.

This may be a silly question, but is there an English language manual for the phone?

thanks.... and sorry for the late reply !

Thank you all for your replies and sorry for the delay in replying. I am beginning to think that a windows pc might be easiest to start with. Then I'll see and report back. Thanks again.

Does anyone have simple step by step advice on how I can unlock install the eu (non chinese bloatware) version of the rom through a mac? I have the code for unlocking the bootloader and have access to the phone through android file transfer. Thank you
