The global rom installed. Will it be safe to update it later in the future. I heard that Xiaomi has started making it impossible to update Chinese redmi with global rom installed, unless bootloader is unlocked. How true is this?

traecey:
Is it possible for global Rom to be installed and bootloader locked?

Gptech:

Just saw a video now, and the included charger is not a quick charger, you'll need to get one if you need quick charging . On the plus side, Gsmarena and some of their wrong info, phone actually has an hybrid sim slot contrary to what Gsmarena says.

On the battery stuff, yes individual usage affects alot. Network stability, temperature, luminosity, etc also affects. If you are a traveller, you'll really suffer .

I personally don't rely on GsmArena anymore. They don't have accurate information about phones. I watch unboxing and hands-on reviews on YouTube to get all I want.

Similarly, I've watched several video comparisons of both phones, and the 8x seems better marginally. Regarding software updates and all, Honor push constant updates on their phones too, safe for the inability to unlock bootloader.

But then, I haven't chosen the one to buy yet.

Gptech:

If you buy the Global rom ( Chinese version with Global rom installed), your bootloader will come unlocked. Trying to lock the bootloader is where you might have issues of bricking.

Definitely a tough one, the Honor is even cheaper currently, decision should be based on what one can live with/ without.

How many would now want to go through that stress on flashing custom ROM upandan

Most don't even know how to do that; including myself

It looks tiring to me and if you are not careful, you will end up bricking your phone in the end

Ok, I believe he is not planning to lock his bootloader, most persons like theirs unlocked.

Gptech:
Meanwhile, this na wetin person nr dey pray to see after waiting out for your order to arrive , thank God say na phone case.

lanre316:


No sir. I prefer the Chinese phone with global rom installed. I just want to be assured that updates will not brick my phone, based on some things I heard about Xiaomi trying to discourage global rom installation on Chinese phones.

I actually don't care whether bootloader is locked or unlocked. I just want a phone that won't brick when updating.

Thanks.

Custom fee is not supposed to be charged if item is declared as a gift. But then most couriers don't offer insurance for gift items. Which means if the package goes missing while being declared as a gift, OYO will be your case.
On the other hand if it's just sent without stating it's a gift, you stand 50/50 chance of paying custom duty or not.
