Hello! I just bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 of 128gb, and when checking on the Xiaomi page to know if it was authentic, it said yes but that it was not the official global version.

When I turn it down it says "Unlocked."
My question is, do I keep the cell phone or do I return it?
I don't know if it has any negative points, something will not work or if it is the same.
When I turned it on I had MIUI 10, and after configuring it I upgrade to MIUI 11 without problems, so I guess it has the official ROM and not a custom or anything weird.
I did benchmarks with AnTuTu and everything matches, the cell phone is original Redmi Note 7, the problem is the software then.
Googleing, apparently some resellers buy the Chinese versions, unlock the bootloader and install the global version, and I think this is the case. But I don't know if it can harm me or not, that's my fear
And I saw in a video on YouTube some guy saying that to unlock the bootloader they have to open the cell phone and make bridges on the board, is that right? because if they open the cell phone and made some changes, I don't really want to keep the phone (I don't know the skills of the one who openned it)
I don't know if it's a simple process like rooting the cellphone, or if they opened the phone and weld things... If its just like Im runing a custom ROM I don't care (I was probably going to root and try some custom ROM in a few months haha)

So I rooted my Note 4(N910P) yesterday. I then flashed CWM. I get on my ROM to test root, then reboot into CWM to test and make sure it works fine. I go to click on the navigation buttons at the bottom and they do not respond. I figured "whatever, must be a bug or something" and I reboot back into the ROM. I go to use my phone and the touch is 'off'. If you look at the screenshot below, the touch test one, I marked white Xs where my finger is actually at on the screen. Look at the number for the dark grey one, it is over 1440. It seems that after rooting, my device now thinks I have a 1480x2560 screen(touch wise). I'm at a loss as to why. My S Pen works fine, though.
What I have done to try and fix this-
Tried a custom kernel as someone mention an issue with a kernel/driver that a custom kernel may fix.
Tried to go back to 'vanilla' aside from the tick on knox, of course.
Custom ROM at one point, even.
Tried removing and pulling the battery and MicroSD card.

Are you sure you flashed the correct file for your device?

has anyone tried meizu phones? it was about time to release a cheap phone with metal body..
what gpu it have ?
solid phone!
one of my friends has it for review purposes.. he said that the phone is awesome and great battery life as well
Hello to all.
Meizu are new in the field.
The terminal is my mother, with whom he always had a great time.
But now accuses a high consumption of battery and laments the fact that the last time is always very hot.
Probably there will be some applications that run in the background or whatever, however it is now time to do some cleaning.
I went to check, and the cell assembles Flyme 4.5.4I ... but I'm not sure it's the international version, I bought second-hand from a geek guy and I forgot to check whether there is rootato.
The questions that I want to ask are: .......... (and sorry if you are noob)
- Should I switch to Flyme 5? I can directly install the 5.1.6.0G even without root? just copying the update to your phone?
- I will continue to have the Italian language and the play store?
- Otherwise you advise me to just do a factory reset?
Help me, please, otherwise my mother close to me on the corner
Thanks so much.......
Hi Guys,
As you know the axon 7 is not available for the moment in Europe.
I've pre ordered it, but on the page (not visible except with the complete URL) you can now see this :

I've tryed to get some information on twitter :
"Is it true that the new order will be delivered with Android Nougat"
"I cannot answer before the end of the IFA"
True or not ?
I believe it is.
Kinda stands to reason seeing as it's named one of the phones to run Daydream when Google launched it.
Where did you pre-order it from? Can you link to the page?

We all know it will get getting Nougat but I wouldn't expect it so soon unless ZTE got special treatment from Google and Qualcomm.

I miss the time when XDA post use to less gossipy.
That nougat logo was put on several dozen phones. All it means are those phones will be getting the update, not soon, not launched with, but eventually.
Hi guys.
I'm new to the Samsung Tab A community. I recently purchased a Samsung Tab A 7.0 - Volte enable tab. As usual samsung has loaded it with too much junk. I would like to either de-bloat the current OS. Or would like to flash a custom rom. I tried a bit of searching and found a few threads about roms. But i am not able find any proper link to flashing process, roms and recovery. Please help me in this regard.
Excuse me if I am re-posting. Thanks guys.
Me too debloatware my TabA
Dont get your hopes uo i havent found anything, just been looking as well. It would be good to get rid of some of the bloatware on here considering the memory available.
I think there were a few i found a while back which i have mosplaced but never got around to installing.
Im not sure but i think i found them on pirate bay which is probably why i was hesitant to install considering sites like that and its users and tapped into every back door there is out there.
Im thinking root the phone then manually delete system files like kids mode and samsung internet and a few other apps built in.
One thing to keep in mind is there are some files which the OS needs so back up, remove, test back up, remove, test and so on.
That way you can roll back to previous versions.
I dont think many people do it because of the headaches. There is no majic button to do it auto in 2 minues. Even developers hesitate.
If a smart phone dies is it bricked? Those were the old blocky phones right? Now a brick. Now a frisbee.

Hey fellas,
I've done some flashing on android before, but only on smartphones, instead of a car multimedia. My model is ZED AN817DK.
It looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The launcher it came with is kinda disgusting, so I installed Nova Launcher instead.
Regardless, the system barely works, even on the stock settings / factory reset status.
Apps are crashing, changing the audio option in Waze takes a whole 2 minutes to even open up the menu for the option
(the app works but the input is unresponsive for 2 minutes until the menu appears).
I've tried contacting the shop I bought it in and they sent me a "firmware" update in the form of an APK file that will not launch in the device. I don't think I saw an option in it's administrator settings or anywhere else to update firmware via file (only check for firmware update - and it's always "up to date").
So I think I'll resort to flash a custom rom on this. I'm a bit worried since in the scenario where things go wrong I rely only on a pen hole style reset button which I don't fully trust to reset successfully if a custom rom is installed.
Is there a general flashing guide for these devices? How safe is it, as in what are the chances of completely bricking the device?
Are there general or common roms that work well on these devices?
