Problems with Netflix?

I just got a Mix 2 in China and got the google play store installed from the Mi App Store. Everything works fine except for Netflix...
Whenever I try t load the app, I get "Device Failure" or "The app needs to be restarted" errors.
I have tried clearing the cache and re-installing the app, but nothing changes...
Anyone else see this issue before? Does it have something to do with getting the phone in China or is it possibly just an issue with the current MIUI and Netflix versions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Yeah, I got the same issue with the Chinese ROM. I suspect it is because Google Play services is not a system app, but sideloaded. Did you register your device with MIUI.com and request a bootloader unlock? Go do that.
In three days you can unlock and load up MIUI EU ROM or EpicROM that will have Goole Play and safetynet preinstalled. You might also want to install Magisk to hide the unlocked bootloader.

Same
Having the same issue here, waiting for the 72hrs to pass so that I can flash the EU rom

Didn't Netflix announce recently they would block unlocked phones?

Follow those guides.
I might write up some simplified instructions in the next couple of days, but that should handle what you need to do.

I don't have that problem with EU rom.

This seems to be an issue with the Chinese ROM but I had been able to fix it by sideloading an April version of the Netflix app from APKMirror.

Youtube TV doesn't work either.

I got the same problem with chinese rom, i've installed Xiaomi .eu 7.9.22 rom and it works fine now.

yes it is fixed with the april release of the netflix apk...! thanks dude !

Thanks for the replies! I side-loaded an older version of the Netflix app and I can at least watch now, but downloading is not working...
I tried to flash the global rom and made a mistake with using the MI Mix 1 rom, so my phone is totally bricked now... Looking into options for recovery...

Hi everyone! I just got the mi mix 2 and I´m experiencing the same problem.
I just applied for the unlock code (72h I guess?) and downloaded playstore through the mi store and then I downloaded netflix.
I got the 500.-1006 error. Did the global rom fix this issue?
Thanks

Hi there guys! Just flashed the global rom! I can´t download netflix on this rom now...on chinese it appeared to download.
It is because of the unlocked bootloader?

Does Safety net pass in magisk?
Edit - Ignore question.
This is not the Global ROM, it's the EU ROM based on Chinese ROM. Suggest you update OP to avoid confusion

EU ROM runs great, what are the advantages of running the global version? I don't pay much attention to the Chinese or Dev or Stable or Global so I'm curious.

Global has google properly integrated, less crap, usually feels smoother, apps slightly different (browser being an example), features can vary

Hi, this rom have all, google properly integrated (from play store to google pay), and do Safety net pass in Magisk. I suggest Magisk 17.3 and last Magisk Manager 6.1 (attention: doesn't accept to upgrade to Magisk 18.0 at the moment)
Thanks

Google is installed but it isn't properly integrated. Global has it baked in and lets you restore backups from setup.
You have to rely on miui cloud on EU ROM and that takes ages

Center clock
When i try to install the center clock, i get an error 7 on my TWRP. Is this because of the fact that this is no official TWRP?

Something is not matching up between phone and the zip, when this happens you get error 7 in twrp. It's an annoying error

In TWRP, you must MOUNT System and disable "mount only read system partition"
And be sure to have the 10.1.2 that I have linked, different version will not work right. Is really beautiful with centered clock

[ROOT] [MAGISK] [Module] Hardware Origin Bypass for Xiaomi devices

Hi All -
Just wanted to make a thread here to link to the Magisk Module I created that bypasses the bootloop we get when we have CN hardware with the Global Rom. I think this will work for India and Russia hardware too. Enjoy.

Mine never stopped working before, however, this works completely differently. This inserts a script into the boot process that happens before the device starts launching system services that changes the ro.boot.hwc and ro.boot.hwcountry to be "global". The other way I was doing it was to make the product props to a value that would make it skip the checks entirely. Unfortunately, changing that value removed the slider settings, broke the slider camera, and for some, stopped the stock camera from working. I have checked an all expected settings are in the menu, safetynet passes, the slider works, the stock camera works.

Great, all works, no problem with camera or slider settings.

Eggcellent!!! lol... so just flash with twrp and that's it?

Yes, flash Magisk, 18.0 and 18.1 don't work for me. Use 17.3 and then flash this and you should be golden.

i dont know who created this, but this was shared on a Mi Mix3 FB group from PH.

before, V18.0 wont work with mix3.
no matter how you install it. only 17.3 works
as of the moment, since the week before the Chinese New Year, there are no updates from mi-globe. until this weekend. so this is a good alternative to make v18 work with mix3.

That's what I was thinking but people seem to really want to install it, I'm still on 17.1 as that's what comes with twrp.

I haven't tested 18.1 as posted above, but 17.3 is the latest working released version for global.

Most people on telegram are now using 18.1 , apparently support for modules will end soon for 17.

The released 18.0 and 18.1 do not work on the mix 3. I have no idea if the one linked above does, but I also don't know what they modified which is why I was advising 17.3

its working. some of the others guys here installed it.
they said its working. i for one, installed, and its working.
based on the screen capture i posted. you can see a logo of xda, maybe they are a part of it somehow.
moreover, there are tons of bulleted changelogs for the 18.0 & 18.1
some of them may not be noticeable for a very large audience, but this "i guess" will make it future proof for the reason of rom updates and compatibility. since Android Q is in the works.
also, noticed these changes
Code:
v18.1
- [General] Support EMUI 9.0
- [General] Support Kirin 960 devices
- [General] Support down to Android 4.2
- [General] Major code base modernization under-the-hood
other changes are for MagiskHide, maybe to better hide other apps. because there are some few apps that still can detect rooted devices even if they are HIDDEN.

Xiaomi EU (MIUI) Update and Google Maps

I have recently updated my operating system to the latest stable by Xiaomi EU (by updated, I mean I have wiped and fresh installed the latest one).
All is well however the official Google Maps app is "not compatible with your device" now in the Play Store.
All other apps install just fine along with some other Google apps I use like Translate.
Does anyone know why this has happened?
I have also wiped and fresh installed previous versions of the Xiaomi EU builds in an effort to get this working but no luck.....Weird because it no longer works on builds it HAS previously worked on..
Thanks for reading, and thank you in advance for any feedback.

It seems a Google bug affecting chiron. Just change device's fingerprints. I choose Pixel 2, but you can use Mi Mix 2s, as you wish. You should be able to update or install Google Maps.

Kinda unfortunate about the bug, means no matter what ROM we use it's gonna be the same. Hopefully they fix soon.

I have the same issue... but help, how to change device's fingerprints?

I just checked the play store and the bug seems to be fixed!
If you still have the issue, download a build.prop editor and change the device's build.prop file.
You'll need to change the parts which state the model of the phone for example "device name: chiron"
By changing this to something like "Polaris" (Mix 2s) instead of "chiron" it will trick Google.
Edit: You will need to be rooted. And I recommend BuildProp Editor by JRummy Apps

It's solved!

Right now, 9.3.28 (beta) but this was a Google issue, not a ROM issue.

Google assistant "OK Google" resolved (need to be tested)

Hello everyone
I think I found a temporary solution for the "OK Google" feature issue in google assistant for Redmi note 8
I tested it in my phone and it's working and I'll be happy if you did the same test to tell me if it's working
what you need is a rooted phone and a file explorer that support root (or any method that will let you change a system file) , I did 2 changes is Build.prop that can be found in \system\ after reboot I went to activate the OK google option and it went enabled and working.
the changes I made were in the lines :
ro.product.model=
ro.product.brand=
in the 1st I put samsung and in the 2nd S10
I wonder if anyone can test and give me a feedback.
**I still have the MIUI Global 11.0.4 I didn't install the latest update yet**

Update : after installing the last MIUI Update 11.0.6.0 the feature was disabled again, I checked the build.prop and the 2 lines I changed went back as previous, I had to make the change again and clear the GOOGLE data, after reboot I restored the OK GOOGLE feature .

On the other hand, it's absolutely ridiculous that this is something that needs to be done in the first place. Maybe they can incorporate it into the Xiaomi.eu builds in the future?
