Hi all,
So I recently purchased the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X from Gearbest (the 32gb/3gb International Version), only to receive it today and find out that the device goes into a boot loop whenever I try to turn it on! This is quite frustrating, considering it's my first Xiaomi phone and I had purchased it in anticipation of my contract expiring, so I'm left with my Moto G4 Plus which is on its last legs. If anyone has any tips for solving this, it would be appreciated. I'm going to try and get a refund from Gearbest but their support isn't always that great. If it helps, I live in Australia.
Cheers.

Have you tried pressing buttons volumen up + On/Off (power) , same time, for a few seconds after reboot, then when into recovery try to "wipe cache" / "wipe reset"?
But, probably, you have to make use of the warranty

Hey mates,
I've been a loyal nokia user since the last few years, things are about to change tomorrow as im buying my first android phone, the galaxy s2!
Vodafone india is exclusively going to sell the phone from tomorrow. They're also offering 1gb per month data usage on 3g for the first 6 months.
Im curious to know if the phone will come with vodafone badge/logo, etc. Im also assuming that the phone will be locked? If i do unlock it through some 3rd party app, will it create trouble, end my free 3g usage? Or should i wait till the 9th and buy a factory unlocked phone(i hope they're gonna sell factory unlocked units in india)?
Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers!
No, it is exactly same as the retail version(Unlocked) . Indiaplaza offers the phone for 29.9k . I hope the price is going to be come down below 30k in retails stores in a week or two .
Thanks - Anish
Hey i was unable to locate any vodafone store around Delhi, India which had information regarding SGS2 from which part are you?
Hi everyone !
I'm new here, but i always read topics about everything and i know that u guys maybe can help me.
So let's go.
I bought my Lg g5 about 5 months ago, and after 1 months with, i dropped my cell in floor, results ? broken glass, but touch and screen still working. After one week, i dropped cell into the watter (pool), quickly jump out of the pool and get out battery, after one day in rice i turn it on and touch screen doesn't working , i thought the problem is in display, so i bought the national model display (from Brazil H840) and replace it (but i'm from Brazil, and my model of Lg g5 is H860, from hong kong) and touch still not working. Some guys tell me if i bought the exact model(H860), my touch will work. So, i did that, i'm just waiting package arrive and test. Remember: Deoxidation already done by technician. I wanna know from you if this advice proceeds, because they tell me about that flat of differents model and there is a chance to exist a incompatibility, and there is my focus of the all problem, excluiding board problem.

The H840 is a completely different phone also known as the LG G5 SE (different hardware) this is why the screen cannot work with your model.
Any screen for the LG G5 (H850 H830 etc) should work for any carrier or international version of the phone.
If the screen and digitiser don't work with this version then you could have a more serious hardware problem.

Hi again ! my new screen has arrived ! and guess what ? Touch screen still NOT working =/. Can someone know about JUMPER SOLUTION ?? Please help me.
Hello guys,
I recently switched to a Xiaomi after my LG G4 died on me. Cash was low so i decided to buy an RN4. Now i knew i was going to probably face this issue i have because my friend has one and the same thing happened to him. Problem was after the official update to 7.0 data keeps dropping for 3-4 mins and then work again. While on 6.0 he didnt have any issues.
So i bought the phone updated to 7 and exactly the same issue. I have the global 4GB version he has the 3GB.

Anyone has any clue as to what is happening?
Thanx
Finally I found a shop on alibaba can buy the phone with a good price.
Here is the link to buy:
MOD Edit:- Links Removed & Thread Closed
And I also found Mi 10 Pro on this website too!!!
Here: MOD Edit:- Links Removed & Thread Closed
Thank you guys.
Any shop, like Gearbest, Banggod, Geekbuying or the two german one (Tradingshenzhen and CECT) but for EU useless, because no FDD-LTE B20 (800MHz) in China version and if you flash global ROM, than you need to open bootloader and let them open (no Netflix in HD, no banking apps and so on).
If you from outside EU than look for Aliexpress, like seller goldway.
I could buy it over the counter today for 600$, but it's too heavy and not keen to wait 360. If it was 3 days like in Xiaomi Poco, that'd be acceptable.
Seen so many models with motorized camera and I love this notchless style into future. 10T model will be worth waiting for.
Disclosure: I have Mi 9 and it's 175g is just on the boundary of acceptable weight.
Hi,from where you culd buy?
I've spotted it so far on Shenzhen.

Link for CECT?
Are you saying that if you're in the EU, then these shops are OK? What about the UK?
No B20 means almost useless in EU

Yep. Also, at the prices they are currently selling the Mi 10 Pro, it's too close to Samsung and Apple for me to be tempted by Xiaomi. Despite the DXOMark's top scores, I don't think the images are consistent or better than the Apple, Google or Samsung's flagships. Pixel-peeping has its value, but even though the 27MP images can be very detailed, there are a lot of artifacts in the Mi Note 10 shots I take.
And the Mi Note 10 hasn't even received a security update in two months....
I want to buy the China model from trading Shenzhen, then flash the global ROM later, but what implications would I run into if I did that instead of waiting for the global version? I live in Canada so I don't really need band 20.
At the moment there is no global rom and you need fastboot global rom for flashing, so you need to wait a lil bit longer and don't forget you need to unlock bootloader first, which means after you get it, you still need to wait +2 weeks.

You will probably get earlier updates If you don't want that, wait for global firmware.
I live in Germany and I ordered the Mi 10 from TradingShenzen. I don't mind band 20 and my English is quite solid
Still have to wait a few more days...

Im waiting on my seller from ebay to get them. You can use banking apps and google pay if you unlock the bootloader. There is a script online that uses magisk hide and makes the appp not be able to be updated. I can find the link and post it. It's been working on my mi note 10 for awhile.

Thanks. But why not just wait for the global version a few days (weeks?) so you don't have to deal with the security issues?
I use Google Pay everywhere, both on my phone and on my watch, so it's a must, for me at least.
Haven't decided if I should try the Mi 10 and hand down the Mi Note 10. It seems like the main camera sensor produces the same results, and I don't find the image quality of the wide and zoom to be that great comparatively. Or, may go back to Samsung for the zoom and the proper face unlock ...

I'm in the UK, and i bought a MI-10 from tradingshenzhen, which is still waiting to be shipped... I have tried to cancel the order and get a refund but according to them it's shipped.
I didn't realise as i've never had a chinese phone before, so i didn't understand about chinese / global version and how different they are. So i'm now going to be stuck with a phone that can't use the main 4G band 20 LTE on O2 in the UK, which is a big problem for me.
After realising tradingshenzhen would not help, i'm now looking at ways to make into a global version, but there seems to be risks with banking apps not working etc.
I have been using iphones for the past 10yrs, bought a note 10 a few months ago, and really liked it, and then the Mi-10 was released with a better chip, screen, ram etc. so i rushed into getting it as soon as possible without realising there's a big difference.... lesson learnt for me, i just hope i can get it to work at some point.
Any tips or adviced is very welcome.

i think it only the modem drivers we need to change
because like realme say that realme x50 5G have 5G band 1 but they have to actived it with an firmware update later
an they use the same modem x55
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?

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 ?

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.
