Hello, so I am pretty much looking to buy this phone. Actually, I am not even sure if it's this exact phone. What I am looking at is the snapdragon 650 3GB ram 32GB ROM variant. It seems that this xda is a mix and match. I want to know if this xda is for the phone I am looking to buy. Also where should I order this phone? I've looked at gearbest, and this is what I found (http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones...tm_medium=calinapostALLEN&utm_campaign=review). I am not a huge fan of MIUI, so I am not exactly sure if the phone that I am looking to get has XDA support. Honestly sorry if I am posting in the wrong phone section, I just thought that this phone was really good for the price and it would be a really nice upgrade from what I have now.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Stay away from gearbest, you will probably end up with a vendor rom.
It can be got for good value from aliexpress sellers "Top One" or "Goldway"!
All xiaomi phones come with MIUI, but you can flash customs roms like CyanogenMod.
or better geekbuying....

Top One -- This is where I purchased mine.
Goldway
If your in the EU, you can avoid customs by using EU DHL Express with "Top One" which is faster shipping than "Goldway's" sellers shipping method.

And you should check for your countries LTE bands.
The new "Special Edition" (Kate) Supports a lot more LTE bands, than the older models. it has its own global ROMs.

The special edition "Kate" has no custom rom support yet and you maybe stuck with MIUI.
It does support more 4G bands.
I jst thought abt u before 1 month ago, but at last i got courage and i ordered this mobile, and belive me it was one of the best mobile in so gud features and very cheap price.
Give it a try and miui isn't bad at all im using it for a month n its same as any other android os bt wth better features and tweaks.
Its ur choice abt miui , bt phone is really great for every activity

meh i'll just get the pro 3gb 32gb one
I have another question. Will the roms from the snapdragon section work for the Redmi Note 3 Pro Prime? Talking about the Snapdragon 650, 3GB Ram 32GB Rom variant. Is it kenzo?
Hello, I am new here, so I can only post here.
Long story short, my father bought a sealed MiPad 4 for my mother, but the thing is that when it first booted, I noticed the "Unlocked" logo at the bottom of the screen. Now, I don't know much about their tablets, but I am not so sure that their devices come already unlocked. So, is it normal or not?
Mine came unlocked too, was happy about that.
Might have to do with which version you buy. Chinese version or international version. The international version might be unlocked because they installed the international rom on it.
me too. bought 2 from aliexpress. both are unlocked
Bought from Ali Express. Apparently the International rom, what with the Play Store and all comes with bootloaders unlocked.
However will never receive future updates.

That theory has one flaw: There is no international version of the mipad4. The Mipad 4 is designed and sold for the chinese market, only - There is also no official global or international ROM for it.
What people are experiencing are third party ROMs which are pre-installed by the seller. The sellers probably re-seal the devices once the custom ROM has been flashed.

Bought the 7T pro on launch day through a Three UK contract, love this phone a nice upgrade from my 5T but I was surprised that it was bundled with a few three apps.
My question is are three phones a different bootloader and separate firmware from a store bought one?
that's mine got an update last night for front camera at night ipmrovements
Got mine on Three UK too and it did not have any bundled carrier apps. I have rooted and updated to oxygen 10.0.3.HD01AA with no problems

This was supposed to be on sale in the UK on the 27th of march.
I search the Xiaomi UK shop every day and still nothing.
I emailed Xiaomi support and all they said was "keep watching the UK site"
The phones are there for one to look at. But that's all. One can't buy a Mi 10\Pro for love or money.
I have noticed that there is an Italian\French\German only version of this phone.
WTF is Xiaomi up to?
Any ideas?
PS. Yes I know I can buy the China version now.

Good point.
I was going to get the Pro version from china.
But sending it back to china has put me off.
But I still can't find a UK release date.
Today is the 5th day of owning and using it. Got it from o2 with a payment in installment for 16€ (750€)a month for the 128gig EEA Version. Amazon is selling the 256gig Version for 899€ here in Germany. I like it very much. Easy to root, wich i dont need for now, because matching boot.img is already available.
Where did xiaomi stated that EEA is only released in 3 european countrys?
i ordered mine from amazon spain
This is really a shame. No root no custom rom for a top-class phone
Will be trying my luck to get one through flipkart flash sales this week. Else I will settle for Poco X3.
I couldn't resist the flipkart deal. I have always rooted my devices the very next day of buying. Xiaomi Mi3 > Nexuz 6P > Samsung S7> Oneplus 3 > Poco F1.
Probably first time gonna get a flagship phone with no custom rom support :/
Hope this can be rooted and I can flash gsi. Can someone confirm, if this is possible?

No you can't do anything as you can't unlock the bootloader

If I understand currently, the European version's bootloader can be unlocked.
That's the one that's sold in India I think, basis the serial number.
Is this not the case ?

Hello same here. A flashoholic. But tempted to buy for the price on Flipkart during sales. Hope phone is sold in large numbers and bootloader unlock is made possible. Fingers crossed.

No. Only EU variants are unlockable, the ones in India are different

Have you tried ? I mean it should be unlockable since model number is same. US ones have a different model number anyway.
I read somewhere that EU rom can be flashed on Indian varient and the bootloader can be unlocked.

No I couldn't get the phone
In my pin code phone went out of stock within 2-3 seconds
I managed to order LGg8x from flipkart. I have to use like an iphone then.
Me too. I booked it as an upgrade for my poco F1. Poco is still running as good as day one but I just couldn't resist the deal and bought g8x.
The only concern i have about the phone is the developer community support.
Poco has such good developer support, and for g8x it's quite the opposite. Hope that enough units were sold in this sale to spark some community support.
I too ordered bcoz of the good specification ,I'm from 1+6t it has a huge threads and forums ,I rooted my 1+6t the day when the phone delivered, even 1+ support warranty after bootloader unlock but lg not

My poco f1 was good, but had battery bulge. sold it and got this. i will miss custom ROMs for sure. but irresistible offer
I too bought one from Flipkart. Hope we get community support. Even if we get support for GSI installation, its good.
Is the LM-G850UM out of luck for root? Are any developments being made. I'm considering getting a new phone because not having root is really bothering me. This phone is wonderful but no root is quite the deal breaker..
During the sale 2 models are sold in india, lucky few got the ones manufactured in india which had access to fastboot and most of the others got the phones which are manufactured in vietnam, and these dont even have access ro fastboot menu, sadly i got the vietnam one, also for people who have access to fastboot mode, lg isnt providing the key to unlock the bootloader, so possibly no root or custom rom development for this device, i hope lg will open these devices once their software release cycle is completed that is after andoid 11.
I have previously used k20 pro, and on the first day i removed miui and installed PA its just too good.
My lg g8x has issues with keyboard,closes while typing so installed google keyboard, also installed expanded view, which uses both screens as one during browsing, amd had some other issues such as random shurdowns, dont know why thats happening...

Does LG has a community/Forum for its users? I am unable to find any
So how is it with this phone?
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader on LG G8X ThinQ Dual SIM EU Version?
Have any of you done this?
There is only G8s at https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev.
G8X is not listed.
