Xiaomi Pad 5 - WiFi country code

[RageSmirk]

I need help my tablet can't connect to my 5GHz WiFi.
What can be done? I have access to ADB.
Can I fix this without wiping all my data?

Make sure your tablet supports 5GHz Wi-Fi. Some older tablets only support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.

Yes, my tablets supports 5ghz. The problem is that I can't change wifi country code

Yup, you can't change the country code for WiFi on official ROMs, at least not normally.
You can try the following ADB command:

adb shell cmd wifi force-country-code enabled XX

Replace XX with 2 uppercase letters of the country code of your choosing.
You might need root for that, not sure.

You can try the following ADB command

Exception occurred while executing 'force-country-code':
java.lang.SecurityException: Uid 2000 does not have access to force-country-code wifi command (or such command doesn't exist)

I'm able to run

adb shell cmd wifi get-country-code

And it shows my country.
However I can't get 5GHz channels 100+
Only 36-60 channels.
What's going on?

As I said, you might need root to use "force-country-code".
And I have no idea why you don't see those channels, you might want to ask Xiaomi support.

need root

Okay, I will root the tablet. Still waiting those 72 hours. Is there a method to speed that up?

No, there isn't...

 

[RageSmirk]

No, there isn't...

I've unlocked the bootloader, but how do I get root access?

 

[Igor Eisberg]

Since this has nothing to do with our ROM, try asking on XDA.

Hi, I was able to obtain root using magisk from GitHub, then I patched boot.img. I run some commands and it looks like the output of the command "iw reg get" will get me wrong config for my country. so when I switch to US, it's fine.
So basically I didn't have to root my phone at all.
Now I'll revert everything... and return the oem lock and clean everything.
