@Avrora your screenshots don't confirm that you have a fake mi3. Install cpuZ and post results here.

Just in case some people like me were reading through this shitting themselves thinking they got a fake phone. I got my phone from Aliexpress from the seller linked below. Everything checks out, baseband is fine. Cpu information apps reads the hardware properly. Except I could not update. But the problem isn't quite the same as yours. The updater app force closes. And apparently that's been done by the seller since updates are only in English and Chinese. (so anyone who like me just got their phone from this seller on aliexpress, you haven't been screwed over)

I am Chinese!!
if the CPU of your phone is right,it should be trust MI3,
TIPS:in china ,we don't use the Google app store,Google service,facebook,tw,
because of The government.
in china,MI3 is very hard to buy.but now,there is only a version of 16G can be buy.
MI3 16G,RMB:1699, 1 USD=6.1RMB,
this is mean,MI3 is worthy USD1699/6.1!!!!!!!

Hi, I opened a dispute on Ali express and the seller provided following documents:

http://g02.a.alicdn.com/kf/UT85v9OXoXdXXagOFbXf.jpg
http://g03.a.alicdn.com/kf/UT8JDWOXahcXXagOFbXh.jpg

I do not read Chinese, Can someone from this site support team to view it? ( the seller writes that he is quality goods receipt, quality goods invoice )

See my phone characteristics on attached docs.

No those receipts don't mean jack. Just show them your screenshot and highlight the baseband version. That's a dead giveaway that it's fake mi3. A legit mi3 baseband starts with m8974a

The left one is an invoice,the another picture is a after-sale card of Xiaomi company
 
S/N Can be found in the back or the battery box storehouse number posted:

The dial-up interface input "* # 06 #" query IMEI
 
That sucks. Sounds like this device is problem filled. Is there any help from the manufacturer?




Hello guys,
I'm new in this forum. I received yesterday my first Xiaomi, a new Mi3 from an AliExpress reseller.
This device (WCDMA version) is full of problems. I can't use the updater app for nothing because it auto-close when I select any file (http://goo.gl/EGNIhv). I can't go inside the audio menu because it will close automatically (http://goo.gl/FxCdsz). Some applications like gmail at first time they close (http://goo.gl/trVFUq) and second time they open and work. Sometimes when I use an application it goes to background and I come back to home screen

Model Mi3W
Android 4.3 JLS36C
Miui JXDCNBA8.0
Baseband 8X25Q-QDSKOLYM-3070
Kernel 3.40-ga568004-00608-g2477892

The worst is that I can't find a way to update it. Tried two times with JXDCNBA9.0 using recovery but it fails (http://goo.gl/XR6O7L) - can't use updater. Tried also with miflash without success.

Please someone help me, I asked complete refund to seller but he first said he wants give me 50usd to repair, then 150usd and now 200usd -- but from phone and custom I paid 470 usd!

Thanks in advance for any help
 
The older help from Xiaomi is to buy directly from them, that's their marketing strategy. There's no point ranting about it. Sorry.

Hi
Hello Ragnas, I've just finished my odyssey with ChengZe. I did not accept all of its offers: he started offering 50 USD (to repair) and refused till 220 usd. In the end I've send him the phone back, I got a full refund (money came back today) and he will also pay me the shipment (18 euro). I've lost about 30 euro due to custom ... as soon as I'll see the refund of the 18 euro I will leave a 1 star feedback. What will you do with a phone that you can't update, in which applications shut down automatically every few minutes, that need to be started 10 times before starting ... he knows he is selling fake phones but he keeps doing it using the 5 stars blackmail.

Let me know what you'll do.

Cheers
