Hi everyone,
I'm waiting for my phone to arrive, hopefully it'll be here in the next few days. I came across this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrclBFu3JyE that claims to be able to unlock the bootloader without the wait times. Does anyone know if this is legit? I can't test it until I get my device.
It'd be super handy if it works as the 7 day wait sounds unnecessary and painful.
If anyone can try it let us know how it goes.
ps. on a side note, how annoying is it that 90+% of the youtube videos on this device have English titles but the videos themselves are in other languages..?

Just to follow up on this. I just received my phone yesterday and I tried this and it didn't work for me. It looks like I'm going to have to wait the 7 days...

Don't believe those videos its 99% of the time a scam/virus etc.
Just get the phone, set it up, bind your mi account under Dev settings - bootloader unlock and then wait 7 days (pretty sure it was 14 for some of my devices). Necessary evil with Xiaomi (trying to slow down resellers who flash global firmware etc). While you wait, don't install too many apps etc coz unlocking wipes the device
Don't be tempted with hacks and stuff.

I tried without factory resetting the phone and it didnt work for me, did you do the factory reset and new account stuff as said in video?
I tried to do this today and it also does not work.
I have to wait around 168 hours but does that mean my phone has to be switched on for that long or can I use it daily and switch it off?
Thanks

Mien should be unlocked by tomorrow hopefully.
I have another question once unlocked what's the next stage please?
I've read something about a recovery/backup to prevent your phone from getting bricked before installing roms?
If it helps I'm on miui global 12.0.8 android version 10.
I am in England also so have that version of the Poco x3 NFC thanks

Just in case anyone didnt know yet, Jasjamming has released a new rom (Black X public beta) Its good news as there is nothing good on tv tonight anyway.
You can get it at 4winmobile.
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/he...93-public-beta-black-x-calm-before-storm.html
Just flashed, i'm in the process of installing my usual apps. But it seems snappy so far
Hello,
I tested this version, but me Schap´s pleases better and therefore installs I this also straight again.

S64
Contacts not shown until soft reset
Everything works well, the only niggle I found was that the new contacts interface (which is great imho) didnt pick up my exchange contacts until i performed a SR.
Apart from that one very small and insignificant issue, the ROM seems to be yet another master piece!
There are some voices about 5 minutes booting time
Can somone confirm?

So I wake up this morning, check Google play like every morning, and there's updates to BlinkFeed, Zoe , and the HTC Camera,and the camera change log states "Eye Experience Update"..... No crop me in... Oh well,seems like a last minute decision by HTC to hurry up and get us ready for 5.0

Actually i checked about that on internet i found that they have removed the update for the verizon and other M7 varient but not for M8 because its was getting too much bad response from users . I have even mailed to the development team but they haven't replied yet . Lost the camera clarity after this update ia good that i have got it in my phone .

hi,,
what about modaco-superboot.zip? doest it unlock the bootloader of Lenovo p2?
Thank you,,
^Better unlock via the option within the phone's settings. Nobody can tell you if the superboot.zip will work or not. Mine is only 5 days from the life of freedom.

I stumbled on this http://www.unlock-bootloaders.tech/2016/12/lenovo-p2-8319.html but it might well be a fake since they say "I rewrite this tutorial from forum.xda-developers.com" and I can't find anything here and the file to download is behind a "complete offer" wall...Now it seems that modaco-superboot.zip file might be "generic" so the one on XDA https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=...ui6ckfV3A&sig2=0oDFAOzdaw9JZwAMyRmKJA&cad=rja might work ?
Sorry don't have the P2 yet to try !
After giving it some thought it must be a fake !
It's really annoying that Lenovo have this 14 day rule, can't really see the purpose ? They don't have it on the K6 for instance.
My waiting time ended yesterday. However I don't see much reason to root or do custom ROM's really. The camera is bad as it is and stock is pretty Vanilla. Theming would be the main reason for me. But won't go through a reset for that at the moment.
How did the process work ? You clicked on OEM unlocking in the developer settings and just had to wait 14 days or did they send you an activation code by email ?
As for rooting, just for AdAway I'd say it's worth it !

The waiting period is over I have not done anyting after that so I don't know the process. We'll see maybe I'll unlock it soon. The camera app itself is so bad I won't miss it. It's a pain taking great photos with the stock camera app it's so sensitive to changes in light.
So it's just an arbitrary waiting period, odd!
The camera app on the K6 is not bad, in fact the panorama feature is really good. I'll check the exposure lock options, or lack of.

You can control the net traffic with local VPNs like Netguard. Don't see a reason for unlocking only because of Ad removal.
By the way the 14 days waiting period exists because of security reason. "Bad guys" can not buy the phone, unlock it, install "bad software" and sell it to honest customers within an hour. They have to wait 14 days and need a lot of SIM-cards. My old Huwai Mate 2 had the same 14 day lock.

Thanks DNS66 looks a lot like AdAway but in chrome I get a frame for the blocked ad, with AdAway the area is just "removed", maybe there's a setting I'm not seeing ?
Hey guys,
just wanted to check if the red magic moment needs to be updated every time by Nubia whenever there is a game update?
PUBG updated their game to v1.2 yesterday and since then the red magic moment has stopped working (not getting the red magic moment has started recording notification or the creating red magic moment pop up). At first I thought it was something at my end so I cleared the red magic moment cache, and also tried reinstalling pubg and finally the firmware but nothing seems to work.
Anyone here for which the feature it still working post the update?
I am on official 7.14 rom if that helps. Rooted
same problem bro
Same doesnt work after pubg update red magic 5G
Same issue here anyone found a solution for it?
Yes bro same issue with my redmagic 3s. Lets create a telegram group. If anyone finds a solution let the good brothers know
Same issue , anyone find the solution?
There is solutions any more thow pubg don’t give red magic space license to record any more so don’t wait for update for this problems it’s done will never record any more it’s not cuz the phone don’t support it’s cuz pubg don’t allowed them to record throw this app any more
It’s done guys trust me will never ever record cuz no license any more so will not support and I am the only unlucky guy here I just bought the phone few days a go it didn’t even reach yet I had send email to zte support teams the answer was clear
Will not work any more thow pubg is not allowed them to do so
So they can’t do any things cuz this app only can work if there is communication and helps from both side like contract between pubg and zte
And this things is over and pubg in the new update pull the license same with Samsung last time used to record and it’s done so don’t wait for any update guys it over I wish I didn’t order the phone or I just waited a bit to know this news
There is only one options u guys can try maybe will work maybe not try CN software V 9.19 running on Android 11 but I hear is not working also but this is the latest update the update happen on 15/12/2020
But I believe will not work even thow

Ok apparently if you change the phone and game language to chinese, the red magic moment seems to work. The flip side is you will have some difficulty navigation. Please try and post your feedback. I will try on my phone tonight or tomorrow and update as well.

confirmed. If you change the phone language to simplified Chinese and game language to simplified Chinese, red magic moment will work again with new ping update. However the game will have all text in Chinese so difficult to play while using chat and stuff.

If you like Stock MIUI, you'll like the Xiaomi.eu Custom ROMs. They provide the latest MIUI straight from the China ROMs (they always get updates first) + Improvements + it's debloated. Xiaomi.eu also provides Weekly ROMs (Beta builds), with updates every week.

You do have to wait 1 Week to unlock the bootloader after the request ^^
I'd totally recommend flashing a custom, when I flashed arrow os I noticed how it was way better than miui on an overall level.
Yeah, I think most developers are Indians now, but most of design are not far different. In my experience, very bad support too.

No, I think you misunderstand.
Firstly, you have to request a Bootloader Unlock using Mi Unlock. It'll tell you the countdown (which will be 6 days and 23 hours).

Back when I unlocked mine I checked a few times during the countdown, and it would say "Error: X hours remaining" or something like that. So I think it really does show the countdown. ^^

HAHAHA, I actually dont even felt like doing the 168 hours anymore, probably keeping it locked in case I don't get stuck trying to use for official procedures. But man, I must admit XiaoMi devs are such dirty bastards, I mean they do not have any sort of tidyness. Do you know where they keep the themes? Where should i place the .mtz theme file I downloaded? I hope it does not require me to unpack it and insert to each folder respectively.

I actually didn't literally touch it, I just accidentally screw up by uninstalling some apps with weird names (first time XiaoMi user) It is shocking when I compared to XiaoMi with 400 preinstalled apps total and my HUAWEI only had just a little over 200. Now I'm trying to look around finding where got answers to MIUI theming mechanism. I dont know where they place it its just invnisible.
