Hi,
I have a problem and after doing a massive research I found this forum and I am wondering if someone could help me.
I have been trying to locate ASUS P550 for several weeks now and although it's sold in the UK as Vodafone v1520, it's modified for branding purposes and no good. At least I think it's not good. After talking to ASUS support I found out that the model is also for sale in Russia and Ukraine as ASUS P550, but unfortunately the WM6 on these devices is Russian.
Before deciding on buying the device I wanted to know if it would be possible that someone with the necessary skills and knowledge would be willing to try to change the language to English. I noticed that someone has done something similar for previous ASUS models like the P535. What I had in mind was that I would buy the device, export the ROM image and let somebody have it for modyfying / testing.
I have to say that I don't know much about smartphones and/or PDA-s besides what I have read and that is that the language cannot be changed simply by a push of a button like a normal person would expect. I also don't know much anything about ROMs or handling them, therefore I don't know whether it's possible to modify the ROM at all without the specific device in hand.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Nobody knows nothing?
OK, I guess I am in a wrong message board.
I would have paid - and I still would - $100 for this.
I have the vodaphone version v1520 I am not sure what the difference is to the native version but its a great phone very fast and stable.
what do you think the other does that is advantageous and can I help clarify anything at all.
Thank You for your input. The answer to Your question is actually that after read some threads about the Vodafone branding I don't think that one or the other has any advantages over the other anymore. I just could not get my hands on the v1520 (which is English of course) while I was posting this thread. But now I got one from ebay and it is delivered tomorrow. So no need for ROM cooking anymore.
Thanks again.
Ok mate
If you find anywhere to learn and get cooked roms for the device let me know I have searched and searched but cant find anywhere.
the device is good but cooked roms always are better than shipped roms.
I cant seem to find a forum on the device with anyone doing anything with it..
If you know anything at all pm me or post here
Cheers
ps if I learn anything I will let you know
OK, deal. What I was told in another forum was that since the device is so new and there isn't yet an official ROM outthere it's quite too soon to expect to see a cooked ROM. It just takes time probably.

pls visit asusmobile.ru for details of activation of GPS
pls search this forum, there is some good information on Asus p550,which I have posted earlier.
Actually there isn't any good information in this forum that You have posted, for example in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393647 - You promised to share details if anyone was interested and there was lot of people interested, the only thing missing was fulfillment of Your promise. Even after I sent many PM to You, You didn't reply or post anything. That is currently the case.

I hate to say it but unfortunatley the only thing you can do is contact xiaomi official support (for example a Mi Store in your country) or somehow get authorized.
No other way around
A month ago xiaomi had that thread of everyone asking for authorizing and they closed it and authorized everyone who asked for it.
Good Luck!

I saw on russian miui forum request thread for edl activation but admin close this thread.
I managed to brick mine, I cannot believe how stupid I am specially because I was aware of ARB. I don't quite know what is the way forward but mine now not even powering on. Cannot do anything with it.
If anyone could provide any help, would be appreciate.

PM @Apo11on, he'll be able to get you the right information. He's well versed enough to guide you correctly since he just got out of his brick situation.

This was a long ride. I got information from: http://en.miui.com/thread-4167524-2-1.html and http://en.miui.com/thread-3014918-1-1.html
The video helps to take the phone apart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYlKG3EcpHg&t=84s
- Then removed the battery cable
- And flashed a chinese fastboot
Unfortunately some reason I was unable to flash the global on any way. The phone wasnt booting just hang on the android screen.
I'm on miui10 EU, some reason thats working fine. I hope the above helps for someone..

So, by using the testpoint method you managed to unbrick your device without an authorized account?
Next time put your rom in a path without spaces, i'm talking about the "Mi Max3" folder, i have seen many cases of unsuccessful flash attempts because the rom was on path with a space or non english characters.

My apologies. I figured you were the most up to date and best help due to recently bricking yours. Didn't mean to offend you.

My case was slightly different to others. I managed to kill mine totally, wasnt even powering on or at least didn't display anything on the screen.
So I thought I won't loose anything if I try all I posted. I bought a poco f1 as a replacement already cause I thought this is dead..
I didn't authorise anything just done all the stepps I posted and managedvto revive the device.
I'm on miui10 eu, does anyone know if I could flash the global without bricking again?
Just don't want to do it all ovet again. Taking the device apart was a nightmare. I wouldn't recommend to anyone who hasn't done anything like this before.
Sorry I don't quite understand this "Next time put your rom in a path without spaces", can you explain please?

In the screenshot of MiFlash you posted, the rom path is on "D:\Download\Android\Mi Max3\..."
The "Mi Max3" folder name has a space.
I have seen many cases of unsuccesful flash attempts because of this.
So, next time rename the "Mi Max3" folder to "MiMax3" and make sure none of the other sub-folders have a name with a space.

similar situation. Help.
Hi guys. I read the whole thread. who will help step by step tell me how to unlock mi max 3 ch. what kind of files and programs do i need to carry out the firmware. I live in Russia, there was Global firmware, the bootloader is unlocked. miui update came 11.01 ru. I have never encountered xiaomi. after a while I got a brick. the phone does not respond to anything, it does not allow flashing through miflash. at the moment there is access to pc win 7 64. the phone is determined through a test point as 9008. there is a Chinese firmware (.tgz). I would be grateful for any advice or help. thanks.
Hi, funtouchOS on my vivo is really starting to annoy me, and after looking online there doesnt seem to be any custom firmware compatible to it. Is there any universal firmware (stock android????) or lesser known custom roms, or even a possiblilty that a rom for a similar phone will work? Sorry if i sound like an idiot, im pretty new to this and can't find any straight answers online helping me. Any help will be greatly appreciated
looking for this too, but how to unlock the bootloader first?
Would be good to know on XDA...
Waiting for this as well. Anyone had any luck?
Hello to everyone,
To begin, I would like to say a big thank you to all contributors and members of this site for the excellent work you do for us !
I'm tired of the spying done by Google and Xiaomi with their bloatware, their applications that we can't stop or uninstall, that take permissions that we can't remove.
I would like to install a stock or custom ROM as long as it doesn't contain Google services (but with the possibility to install them if the need arises). I would also like to be able to root the phone (I don't use any payment service with my smartphone and it is no longer guaranteed).
My smartphone is a Xiaomi Redmi note 8 pro GLOBAL model M1906G7G (first version, not the 2021 version) which is running Android 11 with MIUI ROM v12.5.5.0.RGGMIXM and its firmware MOLY.LR13.R1.TC8.SP.V2.P57. It is already unlocked via miunlock.
I spent hours to read many posts here and also on other sites, but I confess that I am quite lost, between the too technical, too old or too specific; it is not easy to find there
I'm looking for precious advice from experts that I think I can find here without any problem
Can you please tell me where to start ? Do you have a rom that would fit my needs? Any posts or tutorials to advise me to read or follow?
Useful details:
I'm French, so sorry for the translation done by an online service
I'm not stupid, I would follow exactly your advice not to end up with a brick
I am able to follow or adapt to a tutorial.
I'm not asking you to do all the work for me but just some valuable advice
Finally, I will not do anything until we discuss it together.
Thank you in advance for your time for your advice and/or suggestions.
Best regards and long live XDA
PS: Sorry if I ask a question already asked (I didn't find the right answer despite my research) or if I post in the wrong section, I'm a beginner...my apologies
auto relply if it can help :
youtube, look for redmi note 8 pro install TWRP Recovery and root muiu 12.5 Android 11
PS : It's for official ROM for this moment, i learn and after, i ll see for a custonn rom​
I have tried almost all posible solutions but i can't fix yet and I have unlocked bootloader. Who can help me?

Saying that gives helpers zero information, what steps have you taken? When did this start? Are you rooted, and if so what mods do you use?
If you want help you must first provide information.
Have you updated your phone OS to the latest version?
