Just received my Mi5S Plus from Gearbest and it has a store ROM.

I have downloaded ROM's from Xiaomi Chine and Global, stable and developer and I can not flash it.

I need to flash so I can unlock the bootloader and install Xiaomi.eu ROM.

I have tried with the updater and also with a borrowed Windows PC and without success. Can someone help?
 
Manage to install, first the stable and now the developer. I'm now copying with MiMover from my Mi5.

It's strange because I only manage to do it by downloading the ROM's to my Mac and then copying them to the "downloaded_rom" folder and then upgrade. When I downloaded them to the Mi5S Plus I always got an error when I was trying to upgrade.
 
No, it is still locked. I don't have a windows PC and have to borrow it from a friend...
 
Different device but similar situation...
Does the China developer ROM have Portuguese language available?

Don't know, I installed the global developer and it has PT-PT but the launcher crashes so you have to change the language to PT-BR, English or other. It's a bug I also have on my Mi5 and I think it is also present in other languages.

I really don' know why Xiaomi doesn't fix this HUGE problem... it's the Launcher and not a minor app!!!
 
My Mi5s's GearbestROM was already unlockd.
Why do not you try "fastboot oem device-info"?
