CELEBRATION FREEDOM

This forum is for Redmi Pro :|

Dam I got excited lol so excited for this phone coming out !
Sent from my LGLS991 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Redmi 2 hm118204 no signal on both sim.

Hey guys i have a problemi with the redmi 2 of my best friend. He has flashed the latest 6.7.21 rom from xiaomi.eu website and when the phone booted there was the surprise no signal on both sim card. The imeit are fine checked via *#06# . The file flashed was hm2xtd. His redmi 2 is a 1gb and 8gb rom.

I'd suggest you to flash the fastboot ROM from MIUI's website. I also faced no signal issue on both Sims but it happened because I lost my IMEIs, I'm not sure what's causing the problem. Did you download the correct zip? What is the model number of your Redmi 2? Mine's 2014818

Is hm1182014 wich One do i need to download from ciao.eu

If HM2014811 is his variant, then he needs to flash China ROM, as 2014811 is the China variant of Redmi 2

I have flashed latest rom from xiaomi.eu but the same prblm... Even tryed global rom but nothing phone ask for sim card pin but no signal after that.... And my twrp shows it like wt86047 any help?

Download latest fastboot ROM from official site..
en.miui.com/a-234.html
Download MIflash tool..
Remember select "Flash all" from the bottom of Mi flash tool..
It's highly recommend that make proper backup before doing anything..

TWRP & xiaomi.eu support?

When can we expect to see TWRP and xiaomi.eu support for the Pro?
Does anyone know if Xiaomi's bootloader unlocking tool supports the Pro?
I didn't see any mention of it on the MIUI forum, and I'd much prefer to linger here than there.

I think you will not get good support, because for that price you can get a MI5, with Snapdragon 820. The other thing is xiaomi need a snapdragon version for India, like by the redmi note 3.

Its not hard, you just need to go to "en . miui .com /unlock" and follow instructions.
When your phone is unlocked you can install TWRP with fastboot and then install custom ROMs or root.

Global Rom Is Now Available!

Global Rom is officialy out!
it turns out 9.6.4.0.OEDMIFD is a real global rom with a broken modem.
just update to newer releases that might fix the issue.
You cant just flash the global rom over an Antirollback rom as the global rom doesnt have Antirollback. (it will brick your device)
Guide to installing global rom on antirollback devices & installing global rom with fixed modem (for calls and internet) over china rom (no ARB): here
Download Links for Official Global Rom: here
Antirollback information: here
Thanks and have a great day!

Hello there people!
our lovely new Mi Max 3 is now available for purchase on many websites.
These websites sell you a "MULTILANGUAGE rom" or "Global Rom".
The version that they sell is 9.6.4.0.OEDMIFD
Unfortunately this rom is FAKE / Un-Official and is dangerous for your device!
Why? because to install this shady rom they need to unlock your bootloader unofficialy and install a rom which was not originaly designed for Mi Max 3! this rom bricks some partitions of your device and may cause a lot of issues later! Some say that this rom may cause damage to the ability to flash roms and more onto your device or to move to official rom / xiaomi.eu rom
THERE ISNT ANY OFFICIAL GLOBAL ROM AVAILABLE FOR MI MAX 3 YET!
I suggest not to buy the Mi Max 3 with a "MULTILANGUAGE rom" or "Global Rom". (Please notice that some people that have asked not to install the fake rom got their devices with the fake rom even though they asked!)
Be patient and wait for official global rom from en.miui.com
Have a great day!

I suggest flashing the latest china beta rom using fastboot mode
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED
download: here
after that flash xiaomi.eu rom
tutorial: here

Why do you need to flash both the china beta rom and the xiaomi.eu rom?
The flashing of xiaomi.eu does not delete everything previously installed anyway?

Fastboot china rom will wipe all partitions and reinstall them.
Xiaomi.eu recovery rom only changes the SYSTEM partition, remember you are coming from a fake rom so you might not want to have broken partitions from the flashing of the fake rom.

My Max 3 comes with this so-called "Global" ROM.
I checked my bootloader and it says Unlocked. So yesterday I downloaded CN ROM and flashed it via fastboot.

Ok, I understand. "fastboot china rom" means it should only be installed through fastboot? or its also possible through custom recovery?

MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED BEFORE DOING THIS OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE
Fastboot roms are flashed through a special tool by xiaomi which can be found: here
You also might need adb drivers which are found: here
1. Open the drivers file and click "y" for every option that it asks for.
1. Install the fastboot tool tool
2. Download the fastboot rom that you wanna flash
3. Unzip the rom to a folder on your pc
4. Open the tool and in bottom right corner there will be 3 options, select "clean all"
5. Click on the "select" button on top left corner and head to the folder that you unziped, select it.
6. On your device enable "USB debugging", "install via USB", "USB Debugging (security settings)", and disable "verify apps over USB" (Developers options are enabled by going to "about phone" then spam clicking the "MIUI version" until it says that your are a developer. then go to "additional setting" and you will find "developer options")
7. Boot your device to fastboot mode by holding down the vol- + power key together until you see a bunny with fastboot sign.
8. Connect your device to your PC and click the "refresh" button on top right corner. (your phone should now appear in the list)
9. Click "flash" and wait until your device boots to the MI logo and 3 dots. (DONT DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE BEFORE THAT!!!)
10. Wait for your device to boot up
11. Enjoy!

Hi, So if I buy with China ROM (Outside China - I live in Thailand) I can download and change to Global ROM once it's released?
China ROM will still get updates, though right?
Sorry for numpty question!

This is the ROM on my girlfriends Mi Max 3.
Thanks for the info but it would also be good if you posted up how to check if the bootloader is unlocked seeing how important it is before doing any steps.
Also you state that for the people to put on the fake ROM they had to unlock the bootloader in the first place so would they then relock the bootloader? Won't all phones with fake ROMs have unlocked bootloaders?

You may never know...

This procedure work on 128 Gb mi max 3 ?
Thank you

I ordered a one from Eternal Team on Ali before I seen this and asked them about the fake rom and the bootloader after it was sent this is the reply .....
Dear friend:
Welcome to our store . /:000
Sorry for the late reply .
It's locked . But you could use the Google play and use all the function normally . If you need use the Mi service . You need unlock it by yourself .
Please check this link:http://en.miui.com/unlock/

Thanks for the advice and I really appreciate your help but could you give some clearer step by step instructions as many people are not coming from a Xiaomi world. I come from Note4 and for me to install TWRP I do this using Odin but;
1) In simple step by step guide, how do you install TWRP on the Mi Max 3?
2). How do you unlock the bootloader - I go to https://en.miui.com/unlock/ and it starts in English then the next page is in Mandarin so not good to me.
These and other basics instructions are needed to be clearly detailed in a thread as there will be many people following me with the same questions/issues.

1. yes go: here
2. You need to create a mi account on global forums and then use them to apply, assign the account to your phone in developer settings and unlock your phone after you got perms. search for a vid on how to unlock the bootloader on xiaomi devices on YT for a better guide.

Thanks for the info.

Excellent, thanks that is much clearer.
I checked this video on youtube for checking 'locked bootloader' and also how to unlock.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL2omn9PGc4
I did not need to unlock becasue as I rightly guessed the bootloader is still unlocked. (pic attached). This is on both the Mi Max 3's that I have.
So I'll just start the process of flashing the Chinese ROM (to make sure of partition integrity) via Fastboot and then installing TWRP, and then flash the Xiaomi.eu ROM.

OK omer919, thanks to you I have flashed the Chinese MUI10 Fastboot ROM.
Unfortunately the link to the TWRP instructions is not good at the moment as the TWRP link in that thread is not working and the thread is now closed.
Do you (or anyone else) have a working link to TWRP for Mi Max 3 so I can install the Xiaomi.eu ROM?

poco m3 clean & lock bootloader after region change from global rom

is that true statement?
after converting global rom to any other region we can relock bootloader?
it is only not allowed to install a different region MIUI ROM on China devices, global devices do not have this limitation.

yesterday I installed the European version on my citrus that had the Global ROM. I didn't get to re-lock bootloader, but everything worked perfectly

Source from other forum (website) : China default firmware to other region or any global rom can't be re-lock and vice versa. But as long as not china rom, you can re-lock as you like. I tried with my EU rom by default and unlocked the boatloader then to Indonesia rom and re-lock it, done and worry no more.

You mean EU or xiaomi.eu ROM ?
If I understood well, CN version phones can't relock into any other region MIUI stock rom nor xiaomi.eu (even if it's CN-based).
But most OEM allow relocking into different firmware region(e.g. OnePlus allows changing EU, GLO & IN versions and relocking afterwards).

Yes, the original firmware and not the mode one.
