Hey, I got my Xiaomi 3 days ago, but soon discovered various bugs (mobile data did not work despite editing the VPN, loses mobile connection when WIFI enabled, getting AD popups).
I checked my MIUI version: MIUI 7.0| Stable 7.0.919.0(LHNCNCJ) which I believe to be a "fake" ROM that is causing the issues with my phone.
I wanted to install an official ROM (or any working ROM), and followed the steps on the Reddit WIKI for flashing official ROMs (I am not allowed to post links yet) and tried to use the instructions in "Via Mi PC Suite - If your bootloader is locked but you want to install an official ROM".
All the steps are fine until I get to: "Now hold SHIFT and click on the icon that says 刷机 (screenshot)".
Instead of being able to navigate to the ROM location, I get a popup in chinese with 2 options, one says Recovery(followed by some chinese signs), and one says Fastboot(Followed by some chinese signs).
When I click on either of these nothing happens.
Anyone knows how to fix my issue, or has a solution so I can use my new Redmi Note 3?
Thanks in advance!
