Need step by step how to install Multi Language ROM with Google support


Hi pjovp,

Thanks for your continued support. I have made screenshots of MobileUncle and one thing I noticed is that it display the correct build number of the phone.

The order could be wrong (ImageShack is rather pecular about that) but all info should be here:



















Hope the device is genuine ;)

Sorry, but MT6572 is fake, has to be MT6589 as processor
I find shops selling "Original copy 4.7'' XIAOMI Red Rice Hongmi MTK6572 Dual Core 1GB RAM 4GB ROM multi language Phone"

Where did you buy?
Hopefully you can request a refund.

Just by the screen resolution you can see yours is fake.
Yours it's not 1280x720...
Contact the seller, open a case in aliexpress and paypal.

Dear friends, Sjonnie's trouble is a lesson for all. Tomorrow I'll meet with a seller on the street to buy a Xiaomi Hongmi. Thanks to you, I know now how to check if it's fake or not. Mobile Uncle is the biggest:).

Are there any other important points to check before buying the handy?..

Hi Motan,

How did you do on your deal? Did you get a genuine HongMi?

Me? I am still trying to contact the seller but my hopes are dwindling.... :(

Hi pjovp,

Payed by credit card :(

Opened a case with AliExpress yesterday (Trade security Department) but have not heard from them. Going to start a thread on their forum to warn others as soon as the forum is back on line.

Bugger! I have been ripped for the first time in my (on-line) live :(

All people who I've been seen that bought fake red rice are all from aliexpress. I good luck m8
 
Hi pjovp,

I will need a bit of good luck!

I think I will have to just take my loss. Next phone will certainly come from mainland Europe (Looking at a Moto G as replacement)

Hi Sjonnie,

Yes I did. It seems ok. Processor and screen resolution information is correct by Mobile Uncle and Antutu. Antutu score is 16,554. There is just one point that not understood, The both of two imei numbers are same. I have no idea if that's normal. Do you have any information about that?

I am really sorry for your trouble, hope for any solution.
 
Hi Motan,

Glad you got a good phone:)

I am afraid I can't help you with the IMEI question. Seems like I need a proper phone and two SIM's to be able to comment on that ;)

Hi Sjonnie,

I see, you are also an inexperienced person like me:). Maybe any other experienced forum friend helps me.

Too many Chinese people are working in our country (Romania). That means too many handies come from China to sell in market. Because of this reason we are lucky to choise, to check and to have immediately the phones. I paid about 280 USD for this comfortable purchasing and I'm glad.
