Okay so it seems I'm a bit late in rooting this device as the unlock page is removed from the website and idk any other method to get this phone rooted. There is one but it requires to buy some DC unlocker credits which I ain't willing to. So, currently I have EMUI 9.1 (Pie) ROM on phone. It's a bnd-al 10 device. So anyone got any method to help me root this device?
Thanks

I've thought about rooting mine myself, as I'm getting impatient waiting for Pie, from what I've read DC unlocker looks like the best method I'm afraid, I can't find any other ways around it.
I tried using DC unlocker credits on the 7x bnd24 and it failed. Its listed as unsupported on both hcu-client and DC Unlocker. They gave me a refund still.

Hello everyone. I'm in China currently and I'll stay here for a while. I'm planning to buy Xiaomi Mi 6 from Taobao. Here is the link
So am I going to be able to use Google services? Play Store and all other if I buy this phone? Also, if not, I guess that I need to root my phone and install custom rom in order to get Google services. Is there any way to root and install custom rom as well as TWRP without using the computer?
Thanks
I've been to China and I bought a redmi not 3 there, in my experience there should be no problem; you buy the phone, unlock the bootloader and switch from China to global rom. Probably there is also the possibility to install Gapp on the Chinese rom. The only problem is that if you wanna use Google and it's services in China you better have a VPN
Oh, I understand. But it's not the same. Models are different. Actually I'm not sure. It's going to be my first Xiaomi phone. So far I'm familiar with Xperia and HTC. Love them both but "high" end devices are getting too expensive. I'm also considering to buy OnePlus 3T. What do you guys think which is better and easier for unlocking, rooting and installing custom roms?
I repeat again that I'm not familiar with these brands, never touched them actually I Need your help! And don't forget that I don't have PC. Unlocking bootloader, root, recovery and rom must be done without Pc. Help help help

Just unlock bootloader and flash Global rom via MiFlash. It's that easy.
My device is the Chinese model. Bought from a seller who just imports them and flashes the global ROM
The mi 6 models are all identical.
Global is the same as Chinese anyway just a different model number since they had to get more legal things pushed through to sell it internationally.
Buy the Chinese model in China. It will be cheapest there.
Then when you are back in a country which supports Google services you can unlock the boot loader, then flash using Mi flash to the global ROM.
Since the phone is identical this works fine. I was running the global ROM on mine (now custom ROMs).
Really a great phone and no issues for me.
Also checkout the mi mi 2 it looks pretty awesome but for a "smaller" device Mi 6 is fantastic.

If you don't have a pc I really don't know how to help you to my knowledge you can unlock the bootloader with a pc so there isn't any friend or acquaintance that can borrow you a pc for a couple of Hours ?

Xiaomi follows the same standard for all their models..
Want to Unlock the bootloader?
-Make a Xiaomi account
-Link the phone to your Xiaomi account
-Request them to allow you to unlock the bootloader
-Waits 72 hours
-Unlock bootloader.
Thank you all for replying, appreciate your help. I'm going to buy Mi 6. Actually I meet a guy today who is willing to help me and he knows about these things. So, buying, unlocking bootloader, flashing official global rom>using Google services Later if I want I need to root device install custom recovery and new rom. We'll see. Any recommendations for rom, with no bugs

Thanks! It's not overheating?
No, it's just too large for me. I like to use phone with one hand. I'm not a fan of displays larger than 5.5 inches so I'll stick with Mi 6.

You dont have to unlock or root the phone in order to install gapp

This gapp works perfectly on china miui 8/9.
Anyway to root this US model?
Oh, absolutely. I rooted mine in December.
Don't. There is no benefit to it and it only causes problems. Wait until there is full firmware available and you've already upgraded to official Oreo.

EMUI 8.0 (with Android 8.0) is already in beta. So, I think the stable release will come out in a few months. You won't have to wait till June 2019 ?.

Do you mean rooting then installing a different rom causes problems or just rooting by itself?

In order to root you first need to unlock the bootloader and FRP. Once this has been done, it cannot be undone. Any attempt will likely result in bootloops or brick.
At this time, it will prevent you from being able to apply any OTA updates and voids whatever warranty you might have had.
With root, however, you can do a couple of neat things like remove the bloatware. Most of that can be removed without root, but there are a couple things. Add-free youtube? There's an apk out there that doesn't require root for that. Apply a different kernel that allows you to tweak performance or battery consumption? Doesn't exist and the phone's pretty good at performance and battery life as it is anyway. Oh, and snapchat won't work on root.
One really great thing you can do with root is flash the AOSP or OpenKirin rom. They're beta, so your experience might be better or it might be worse than stock.
Was there something else you wanted to do with root that you can't do without it?
I've never owned an Android device without root, but I'm regretting rooting this one. I'm looking to try out OpenKirin, but since my phone actually works for the time being, I'm hesitant.

So is there anyway to update L24 US model to Oreo beta? How can I get the beta ROM? I want to update to RR Oreo but all the I go seems to be for Indian L21 version. Can Huawei Firmware finder give me the update? I have Emui 5 and need Emui 8 with project treble FW to go to RR

As I understand it, you need to use the guide to upgrade to L21 and then flash RR Oreo from there. From what I've see elsewhere in the forums, one person has done it successfully and one person has bricked.
I've rooted many phones over the years but this one hasn't been fun. Unlocked bootloader, rooted and installed TWRP basically the day it was available. I didn't read one of the postings correctly one day and soft bricked my L24 trying to RELOCK and flash stock recovery. Long Story short I gave up and called customer support this past Sunday and started a warranty ticket. They sent me a packing slip via email. My package was handed to UPS driver at 12:45 Monday afternoon and my phone is already in route back to me for delivery tomorrow. I think I'm going to pass on unlocking and rooting until there's stock firmware released. Good luck if you choose to root.....
hi guys
I want to delete The Booatloader and Root from my Honor 7X

Neither me, since I owned an Android, I rooted. But the the question now is? Is it worth to lose the warranty and OTA updates now that Huawei has been banned in US? I owned the Honor 7x since a year, it works just perfect, but there are some apps that i would like to use that require root, like Tinkore keymapper and a DIY gamepad. Again, is it worth it?
Hello, I brought a Realme X2 CN about one month ago. Regularly I visit Realme X2 XDA forum but I didn't see any official or unofficial Custom Roms & Mods for this device. I bought the CN version at low cost and fast time because I know that XDA :goodeveloper. will help us to make the CN Rom to Global version and many Custom Rom. I just want to know that is there any active developer for this device? We are really waiting for you guys.
Wait for a while. The phone just got released worldwide. and there are many restriction imposed by realme.
Happy news for is is that ,realme is paying attention to it. Fingerprint of our device is working after unlocking bootloader and root.
So, soon we will hope to see development for our device.
Great thread, thank you!
Hopefully we can use it if someone finally finds a way to flash the EU ROM.
I am willing to make a small donation to the person who makes 100% fully functional way of flashing the EU ROM to the Chinese version of realme X2.
Good old Xiaomi... It was (is) so simple with their ROMs...
Hello !
How did you suceed to have fingerprint working after unlocking bootloader ?
Thanks
After removing all the Chinese apps and installing play store and necessary apps don't you guys feel comfortable to use Chinese rom as your daily driver? Why not?

There is a developer ready to make custom rom but he needs to purchase the device for which there is crowdfunding. So join this telegram channel and donate too, also share it. @realmeX2Official t.me/RealmeX2Official
I dont get why this phone is listed as a "top device" in the forums when theres not even one official custom ROM for it

I bought my phone on Aliexpress, it came with a customized rom without the Chinese apps, with Google Play installed and multilingual, if they managed to make a rom like that, then I believe there is a way for our problem, what we need is someone customize a rmx-1991 rom, which is the chinese rom

Can you write more details about this? How did you unlock bootloader? What rom is this (which device) and how about recovery?
If you have spent time here, you will find how to.
And all the other questions you asked in the title and this forum !!

Hi,I just got the Mi 10T Pro yesterday,
I was disappointed to get the EEA version so I went ahead and used the Mi tool to convert to Global stable,
Everything seems to be fine and I'm on
Version V12.0.9.QJDMXM
Only concern I have is that my Security Is saying 2020-11-01 but the description of the ROM says updated security
To December
Can anyone on global stable same version as me confirm its on November
Or has something gone wrong as the previous EEA version I had was November.
Thanks
The changelog is wrong. Wait for next update to be fixed
Thanks for the reply,that's good actually because I was a bit apprehensive after using the Mi Tool on a locked bootloader to convert ROMs but I guess everything worked.
