If it wasn't for my phone it would nt have flashed

That's where you're wrong. SP Tool will flash anything thrown at it provided it's in the correct format. Not to scare you though

Use that last link and don't forget to share your testimonies, least I forget the first boot can take upwards of 5 to 10 minutes plus to complete

Bro the flashing was sucessfull,it turned from red,purple nd then yellow,nd download complete,but when i try to switch it on it doesn't turn on,when i plug it to charger ntin,no notification light to show its charging. Am using xiaomi redmi note 3 mtk version,32gb rom nd 3gb ram

I hope you flashed the right rom for your device? With the similarities in the names is quite easy to get things mixed up.

Checkup this link, it's for locked bootloader. Hope yours is? It should get it fixed

vower:
I did o,d problem nw is dat it still wont on even though the flashing was succesfull

What exactly do you mean by "not coming on"? Does the screen turn on but it's stuck on boot screen or nothing happens despite pressing power key for 10-15 seconds?

If it's not coming on then it's obviously not flashed successfully

What device model do you have?

vower:
Have done dat already

Did you read through the rom thread before flashing? Plz go thru all the instructions to the letter

nick4lifeng:
anybody using zenith bank here? I got a report this morning from someone who was at the min of finance yes'day that they've paid those using zenith bank two months. how true?

I am with Zenith, Obio Akpor UBE. Believe the commissioner at your own peril. These people just dey lie anyhow as if it's part of their job description

vower:
Guy I flashed that mtk ROM for my redmi note 3 through SP flash tools,my phone is now bricked

Sorry about that. Plz next time follow the instructions on the thread to the letter & use only download links already provided unless stated otherwise.

SP Tool has several versions & for some weird reason only a limited few can be used to flash your Xiaomi device without issues, if you read comments on those threads you'll see that other people had same problem until they discovered the exact version that works with that particular rom perfectly. It's not peculiar to this rom, others too have their preferred version of SP Tools.

I hope you've got it fixed by now anyway? Cheers

It is quite disheartening & indeed inhumane to deliberately withhold someone's wages especially when you consider the rising inflation. Fellow colleagues my heart goes to you...

@Chibuking81 Martin Luther King said he who stands for nothing will fall for anything, as a full grown man if tomorrow your child reports to you that he is bullied, will you advice the kid to keep quiet & accept it?

Let's try as much as we can to let the public know what some of our colleagues are passing through. It is this lukewarm & timid attitude that has resulted to our senior colleagues being owed years of promotion arrears, promotion several times but only on paper & still being paid old salary, poor welfare, high handedness etc etc Look around you and enquire, it's mostly the people on the field that has these issues stated above & not other ministries

I've been quiet in this forum these past few weeks but I've come to realise that's their aim; to cause confusion amongst us thus they deliberately paid some & left some out.

Please let's speak up!

40manlappy:
I understand lower prices but security?

@Gptech, GrandMufti, NgcoboP, Kulimart, 2kurupt, vosquare, Nsonaso, Iheanyi4u, ibawon, others, what do you have to say to this?

Xiaomi is called the Apple of China for a reason.
Mi account was created not just to sync your contacts & messages, it's security features is embedded into the hardware therefore flashing a new rom still won't break it. Xiaomi is definitely up there with the big boys

lofty900:
Lenovo is expensive jare, I bought the infinix note 2, LTE 40k

Howdy. Plz am in PH too, where did you find the vibe p1 turbo & how much was stated?

Manuella4ace:
my Lenovo vibe p1 Turbo came with marshmallow. 3gb ram 5000mah battery

How much was it & was it got in a shop or online? Thanx

vosquare:
Bro...I've updated to this rom to developer and to be candid my battery has little improvement

That's great. With continued usage it's gonna get more stable & hopefully squeeze more battery juice for you too

GrandMufti:
I'm talking about mediocre 'OS' i.e Miui and not chipset. You just carry this mtk vs sd thing for head.

I no carry am for head o, just don't seem to get why people keep saying that.

Happy Sunday

GrandMufti:
For now the device is for only for the Chinese market. So there is no 'version' per se. I will advice you to save your money and watch the direction miui is heading to. No point in buying a great device with a mediocre OS. But if you are keen on the device, then go for it.

What exactly makes the SOC mediocre? Am sure you dunno why American kids online keep saying snapdragon is more superior to Mediatek even when they've not used the two just coz it's a Taiwanese company.

FYI Americans the world over promote their products no matter how inferior they're to that of other countries's products because of patriotism. It's purely an American agenda in it's bid for world domination

What device are you using let's see how un"mediocre" it performs against mine?

vosquare:
Did u reset your phone after flashing?
How did u root yours?
How did u unlock your bootloader?

Thanks tho.. I'll download the rom

No rooting or bootloader unlocking required to start the procedure. Do read thru the instructions in the links properly in order to avoid mistakes.

As a matter of fact I can't remember the last time I rooted my phone, with miui I don't really see the need to especially since you'll lose root whenever you update.

Harus:
Please proove to the house that you are right by showing VOSQUARE how to go about battery drain since both of you have similar phone.

There's nothing to prove man, he obviously has a buggy rom installed. That's why I chose to stick with an official rom that gets steady updates & bug fixes via OTA.

With the rate at which these miui geeks are all churning out their own roms one can easily get confused


PS: I observe that the weekly updates perform differently too. So when I see one that's very stable with good battery backup I don't rush to update.

vosquare:
U mean, u experience no battery drainage issue?

Yeah I use the MTK version of the note 3. Sorry for the late response.

Here's the official China Dev rom am currently using=>
http://bigota.d.miui.com/6.9.29/miui_HMNote3_6.9.29_1dbf35c044_5.0.zip


Here is the latest version=>
http://bigota.d.miui.com/6.10.27/miui_HMNote3_6.10.27_ec55d1a232_5.0.zip

Follow this link to flash it via updater app(this only works if you're already on an official rom)=>
http://en.miui.com/a-232.html

This rom comes with zero bloatware or unnecessary tweaks thus no pressure on your battery & background activity from my observation.


Alternatively you can flash via SP Tool
Hope you've a PC? Don't forget to copy your entire media files unto your system because SP Flash tool will wipe your phone clean. Since you're having a buggy performance personally I'll prefer this method though it is more rigorous=>
http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=294318&highlight=Flash%2BChina%2BDev%2Brom

Least I forget if you used SP Tool flashing method then you'll have to install gapps for Google services & play store yourself. Install those via this link then update them to the latest version when done=>

After running all these I hope you get a better optimized device like mine. Cheers

Gptech:
Hahaha, am typing now with the redmi note 2,same socs as yours, though I suspect you use the 32gig version. I never complained of lag, yes my phone is really fast( that's the major reason I bought it though), and I know xiaomi is good in optimization compared to many brands. Am actually surprised that you don't experience battery drain because others using the Helio x10 complain of experience such, and the heating part especially. Right now my phone is at 37 degrees, the lowest, I have seen is 32 degrees and it can easily get over 40. The only rom I haven't tried is Chinese roms but 1 thing is certain, the battery and heating issues have never been good at any time no matter the rom I used, even tried the 'Bule' custom rom that was supposed to be good with battery.


Before I forget the temperature is acting normal now because I just updated some hours back, I know what to expect from tomorrow

I actually use a 32gig version of the note 3. Do you clear cache after updating? I just realised that helps the phone in maintaining its stability.

Gptech:
Me too, am really suspicious of the mtk socs majorly in the battery department and heat generated, reviews have shown the redmi note 3 performs better, really better than the redmi pro. Also the rn3 seems to be better than the rn4 which uses similar socs (slightly different in clock speed) as the redmi pro. But again would love to see user experience.

scotweezy:
If itz not much trouble for you can you give us an Hands on review, various reviews online are not encouraging atall.
I will love to know how the battery fares (SOT on heavy usage), the charging time(is it fast charge compatible?), also the camera (Anything unique), lastly how is the build compared to the Redmi Note 3.
I just have my reservation about the MTK SOCs.

I smile whenever I see comments such as these. I bet most of you guys having supposed "reservations" are yet to handle the said MTK phones made by Xiaomi. What I do know is Xiaomi devices are well optimized irrespective of SOC.

Well my note 3 MTK that's running Chinese Dev rom has hardly got heating, fingerprint, lagging or battery drain issues for the past couple of months, and yes it can handle anything thrown at it

KuliMart:
How to prolong your battery life in #MIUI 8 like a pro? Here're 13 tips and tricks for you!
1. Turn off notification push from rarely used apps
2. Turn off GPS
3. Enable battery saver in Security app
4. Adjust your screen's brightness
5. Turn off vibration on press
6. WiFi settings
7. Turn off Sync
8. Turn off excessive vibration
9. Turn off auto update
10. Shorten screen timeout time
11. Use static wallpaper instead of live wallpaper
12. Keep your phone updated
13. Turn on Airplane Mode in low signal areas

If one disables all that's listed up there at once then what's the joy in using a smartphone?

Anybody that's got heating/battery drain issues obviously has a faulty rom flashed. I advice you stick to only official rom releases that's not burdened with too much tinkering.
Go to the appropriate section of your device in the miui forum, read other user reviews before flashing.

What's the guarantee that the line won't be used for fraudulent activities?

IamGodson:
In my next life, I would consider joining the military.... But definitely I wouldn't be a Nigerian..... Kudos to them sha....

Wow. What if you turned out to be an Iraqi or Haitian?

Happy Birthday to my father & mentor, I will forever be proud to be associated with you Sir.

Segunagagu:
Hehehheehheehehe..wat do u want to do wit the colour

The color white makes the device stand out, just like having a metal frame & back.

Anyways, happy sale

Kidnapping fellow teachers that have not been paid salaries like me for the past five months. Until you change your mindset and negative reasoning, you cannot have a pocket transformation.

Young man, my pocket is far better transformed than you can ever imagine.

Forget your stories, how many contributions or information have you made pertaining to the purpose of this forum? You expect people to share sensitive contacts info just like that. Hope you're not trying to take advantage of the situation some folks are experiencing?

ORDUDAVID:
Good Morning teachers. If you need another source of income that will alleviate you from this heart breaking administration, text YES and LOCATION to 07083752505

Is that the new format for kidnapping and yahoo yahoo?

OP stop making jest of yourself by misleading the public

4G LTE compatibility is a hardware feature and not something you get by installing an app or buying a phone case. If it's not there, then it's not there

power900:
even with the current 3g ++ people still crave for more battery power then with 4g LTE, I wonder, may be they will ask for phones powered with car batteries...

Do you remember some 3 to 4 years ago when ordinarily putting on Wi-Fi & 3G signals on your smartphone will zap all your battery in a matter of minutes? But now it's a whole different story. I doubt you do since you're so skeptical.

It's the continued usage of these tech features that has made the OEMs to continually optimise them thus making them better, so my brother plz don't be stagnant.

martineverest:
when some countries are already testing 5G

Since we got only this country what do you expect us to do?

Plz let's try to appreciate what we got...

power900:
I wonder why people are just in a haste to get 4g self, for me the present ++ speed is still cool and I don't have to buy a whole new smart phone just for some little added speed advantage, .....great haste, great waste!!!

That's what someone that's not using a 4G LTE compatible phone will say, or do you expect people to under-utilize their smartphones?

With so much news of 4G LTE flying all over the place, please let those that have tried any of the networks drop info on the network & Xiaomi device model.

At least let's be certain the network that favours our mobile brand the most

NgcoboP:
you have been very far away

Yes o, I had to start skipping this thread when some folks almost changed it to a snapdragon vs MTK affair, as if we MTK users borrowed money from them to get our gadgets
