[Solved] Mi Mix 2 with Vodafone firmware - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers

Hi, I got the Mi Mix 2 from ebay in really good condition. The phone was ment to replace my old Mi Mix 2, but it has a Vodafone firmware and won't update.
The phone ist stuck in an old rom:
Android-Version: 7.1.1 NMF26X
MIUI-Version: MIUI Global 9.2 | Stable - 9.2.12.0(NDEMIEK)
So I tried to unlock the bootloader, with no success. When I try to bind my mi-account it always says "Connect to the network and try again".
At this stage I've tried every advice from the internet (log in and out, mobile network vs. wifi, VPN ...) with no luck.
Now my questions: Is there a chance to flash an official firmware without unlocked bootloader? Has anyone managed to get rid of this annoying firmware?
Thanks in advance
Solution: open device -> connect it to pc with edl test point -> flash latest stable rom with Mi Flash Tool

[ask] [imei] imei 1 and imei 2 changing

Recently I bought mi max 32/3GB in stable ROM.
I checked software, hardware, imei (imei1 &imei2 different number just like in the box) etc no problem.
So, I try to unblock bootloader but doesn't works out.
I flash to developer rom, try again and succeed, bootloader unlocked.
Flash TWRP, flash MIUI EU boot successfully, and i think I don't like MIUI ?
So, back to TWRP now flash AICP.
Now, hydrogen run smoothly,l. I checked imei imei1 and imei2 same number ?
Why they got same number?
What did I miss?
Any solution?

Updating from Lollipop to MM on a imported ZenFone 2

Hi all - I've recently brought an Asus ZenFone 2 and want to upgrade it to MM so that I can use the root, unlock bootloader and install a custom rom on it using the tools in the development page.
However I am wary of updating the phone as the sellers website had this message:
Most of phones are supposed to sell in China (China version), such as ZTE, Letv, Asus, Oneplus.
1. About sealed original packing and firmware, We need to open the original box to check the phone and install the Multi-language and Google Play Store, Multi-language ROM not support OTA
2. Buyer can not restore to factory or root with other version firmware, which may cause date loss or dead of phone.
The firmware version is WW and recovery is also WW. When entering fastboot mode, the bootloader version is unknown and signing and secure_boot have a ? next to them. I am worried that upgrading it may brick the phone.
Is there a way I can update to MM? I may be worrying irrationally.
Thanks
IFWI version in bootloader is ?
Build number in settings about phone is ?

From fake Rom to china rom

Good day. I have a big request for more experienced forum users. What i should do do step by step with the phone if it comes from a global fake Rom to change it to the original Chinese one? I read on the forum that if i do it wrong i can block the bootloader for good and i cant upload later the global version from xiaomi. For this I am asking for help. What you have to do to upload Chinese Rom correctly without the problem with the phone later.
Edit In one of the threads there was information about blocking the bootloader if something goes wrong because the Chinese use the program to remove the lock and later there are problems. I want to return from fake Rom to the original so that you can later upload a real global. I am asking for directions as for a novice.
can help someone?
Better if you contact the shop/seller and ask for clarification. Whichever ROM you flash, you would modify the phone and liose the warranty, despite the fact you succeded or not.
Me, I personally prefered to return the phone to seller and have him reflashing the phone.

understand, but I just want to install the original software. In this case, it is a Chinese version. When the global version from xiaomi comes out I would like to install this version without any problem. I once to install roms in lg, huawei, but I do not want to spoil anything and I am asking for help in how to properly upload the original rom for the phone.
from fake to china rom
I received today my mi max 3 4/64 gb with fake rom. Perhaps my experiences can help you a littlle bit.
I first booted the phone and binded it to my mi account. (with sim inside) My phone was unlocked which is a must.
Then I followed the steps from omer919 in the thread Global rom will be released very soon.
I flashed the chinese rom, wiped/format data and dalvik.
I booted back to system.
After the phone was rebooted I booted back in fastboot without changing anything to the new rom (it is in chinese so that would be a bit difficult )
Then I flashed the latest eu rom via twrp - via the command prompt with fastboot instruction "fastboot boot twrp.img". Attention the latest eu rom doesn't allow rollback so if you want to put the global rom it must be on miui 10.
After flashing you reboot the phone.
You will not get in the phone, and this has noting to do with the flashing of the vendor wathever some person on xda will say. The reason is that you can not activate your sim - so no connection and no activation- it will be overruled by the xiaomi protection saying that this phone is binded to a mi account. (in fact your own account) You cannot push the wifi button on this screen to put in your wifi password.
How can you get through this :
1. first power down your phone.
2. Remove your sim.
3. reboot your phone
4. you will get the xiaomi protection but now you can push the wifi button and fill in the wifi settings.
5. push the back arrow and fill in your mi account password. push the activate button - It will activate the phone in your mi account.
Also no need to relock your phone as it is binded to you account.

Locked bootloader, no baseband, greyed out OEM unlocking after flashing OCX27.109-36

Hello,
I have a problem with my Z2 Force TMO US version. I live in Poland. I bought the phone on the internet and it was TMO simlocked. I did the temporary unlock to check if it is working. Then I wanted to flash custom rom (DU in this case) and my problems has begun.
1. After first attempt of unlocking boot I got it unlocked but couldn't flash any custom rom. I figured out it is TWRP problem (flashed 3.2.2-2 not 3.2.1.1).
2. Flashed TWRP 3.2.1-1 and I was able to flash custom rom.
3. After flashing custom rom I lost phone signal: I'm getting no service and zero signal bar. I checked *#*#4636#*#* and noticed that I have radio off. I had IMEI and BASEBAND then.
4. I tried many other roms to get my signal back but no success.
5. I flashed stock TMO and was able to unlock simlock temporary again but it has no service and signal again. Radio is off.
6. Today I tried flashing stock OREO OCX27.109-36 with locking bootloader now I'm stuck.
I have locked bootloader and no baseband which means I don't have any signal or WIFI (mac is 0). I can't connect to google account so I can't get oem unlocking option - it's greyed out.
Can somebody help me with enabling OEM unlock? Or even better can somebody help me with getting signal back?
Thanks in advance for reply.
Try flashing the newest TMO firmware, which is the only thing you can flash with a locked bootloader. Check post #2 of the return to stock thread for the flashall utilities and the TMO flashall. The latest firmware provided for TMO is ocx27.109-51-7
You can do it
, I already had this issue with my moto z2 force in Morocco , so what I did is I connected the phone to internet via bluetooth and when I added my google accounte the unlocking oem in dev option was normal , so I was able to flash roms again . Hope this will help you.
Use pdanet app, you need two Android devices. Connect using Bluetooth...
Thank you guys. BT tethering helped. Thread can be closed.
How did you connect to Bluetooth to get through first start up? I can't get to Bluetooth settings to pair. I have this issue currently...

Xiaomi Redmi 9 (lancelot) hard bricked

I bought a redmi 9 (lancelot) in November. After unboxing I came to know that it has google dialer and messenger instead of mi messenger and dialer as it was a global variant. I went through different forums and found out that only indian roms have mi messenger and dialer so I decided to flash my phone with an Indian rom. first of all I unlocked its bootloader via official xiaomi unlock tool. it took 7 days. After that I flash my phone in fastboot mode with a miss matched file it was "cattails" file. I didn't knew about its codename yet (and yes that was the stupid part where I kept continue my try to flash the phone ) .
somehow phone flashed successfully but it never rebooted after flash and gone dead. now its only showing mtk port and I am unable to flash its factory firmware. how can this problem be solved now please guide me.
I don't want to visit customer care center again as they told me to replace its motherboard as they do not have authorized mi account to flash the phone.
