Nairaalander1:
where will he find those other users?
This is a shop rom, remember

They are on Mi forum, waiting is key.

Nairaalander1:
But my previous post you quoted stated that I checked. You too can check. The two roms are identical.
more feedback from that particular shop rom user?

Nope, what you checked is if the update notification is same with what is on miui download page. What I meant is that he should check if those with his current shop rom version were able to update their phones via OTA without bricking their devices.

Nairaalander1:
and how will he confirm this?

Compare his rom screenshot few pages back with the one on miui rom download page

Yes, he should compare and wait for more feedback from other users.

Nairaalander1:
just checked.
He should update then

He shouldn't ooo, until he has confirmed if doing so with his type of Shop rom is safe.

bigtt76:
The test points he mentioned is used when you brick the phone and want to bring it back to life

Nope, he is right, if updating the rom will brick the phone, then using test points will by-pass that.

fibonacci2526:
Well there is now a global ROM for redmi 6 pro since the device was launched in India on Wednesday.

Yea, it's on miui download page already, whr u hide put since?

priceaction:
Thanks, am trying to get assistance online too, I think is a partition problem and particular to some type of formatting method. I can see that it's a common problem online, not particularly being a fake memory card.

Ooo, which method did you use for formatting?

priceaction:
Besides, I bought original SanDisk memory card 8gig, because I wanted to test something, only to format it and the thing shrink to 2gig. Ever since I don't know how to get back my 6gig.
Can anyone assist me oo. And why is it like that?

I think the memory card is not original, how do you know it is original? That 2gig should be the original capacity of the memory card.

priceaction:
I beg which store be that so that novice like us that don't fall victim of fake room later.

Not just store ooo, ensure the phone has official rom flashes before buying or wait for Global version of the phone, people are already crying over bricked Redmi 6/6 pro due to OTA / anti roll back ish, just read some comments on Mi forum.

lavenderjade:
I know dats how its done man... Nor b today i begin use xiaomi fones

Yeah, nr b today, just saying are you sure that's the way with this particular rom? We have flashed official roms over fake roms in the past, did it with Redmi 4, Redmi 4x, and Redmi note 4x. The question is are you certain this case is like the ones I mentioned or like that of the Redmi 5 plus? Also if you can remember, not all shop roms for the Redmi 5 plus were affected, it's a particular shop rom that needed you to ' carry out surgery '.

lavenderjade:
The seller has installed fake global rom for u... If the bootloader is not unlocked bfr it comes here ..my dear sorry is ur case... With dat rom if u update ur fone wl b bricked.. The only solution is for u to open d back of d phone and do testpoint to flash a good rom inside..i experienced dis january and learnt testpoint bfor d fone came to nigeria ..

Are you sure, this is not Redmi 5 plus na.

acekid109:
shop rom sighted

Exactly.

Umunri:
I go for redmi 4x 3/32 for the size and is just for second phone thanks.

Ok, your choice, but size difference isn't much because the Redmi 5 has an 18:9 aspect ratio.

sanandreas:
I noticed some changes on my phone. I inserted Etisalat SIM card and switched to H+. My battery drains gradually unlike my Glo SIM card that is always scrambling for network. Battery performance is superb on Etisalat.

Normal thing, unstable network= unstable battery performance.

Umunri:
50k

Then look away from both devices, get the Redmi 5 instead, 3/32.

Reddington:
Alright bro.
So why would Gtbank always brag about offering the best internet banking service in Nig? Guess they're being exaggrative. Lol..

Even First bank is slightly cheaper in exchange rate than GTB, smh.

Reddington:
Anyone in this thread who has used First bank Naira Mastercard to shop on Aliexpress? I heard their cards reject Aliexpress and can't be used for payments on the platform...

Not correct, I use it regularly , yesterday inclusive.

Babaty87:
Please Gurus, I need the link to old miui Pro 8.4.26 Rom, or a stable miui pro Rom that supports gcam for my redmi note 4 mido. I'm currently on miui 10 pro rom 8.8.16 rom which doesn't supports Gcam.
Thanks.

Cc@gptech n others

Don't have the link, maybe someone does, but note that Gcam doesn't work with Miui 10 based roms for Redmi note 4 for now.

Umunri:
Thank you i may go for the xiaomi.

What's your budget?

Umunri:
Please help me choose between Nokia 3 and xiaomi redmi 4x Nokia 3 has all network in Nigeria while redmi 4x has not but finger print scanner.

If Glo 4G is what is most important to you then get the Nokia, otherwise the Redmi is a better device, meanwhile you can get newer devices with your budget I believe.

adeniyisamuel59:
Ouch! I am having a similar challenge now, I ordered for an item about 6 days ago but I was given number that China post registered airmail did not recognize, I contacted the seller, up till now, he has not responded. I doubt if I will order from Aliexpress again, this is the second time I am having issues with them, what I ordered from gearbest has delivered successfully without hitches.

What did you order, is it extraordinarily cheap? If some sellers make a mistake in pricing, they end up giving you a fake tracking number, they want to refund your money, so need to open a dispute. Track from here and see the result https://global.cainiao.com

This item is already in Nigeria, calculate how many days.

ezeudo152:
I bought something on aliexpress since April, up to now I have not heard anything. I tracked it the result gave unsuccessful. I tried Gearbest and I was marvelled, it came within 10 days.

Your item is wallowing in your post office, unsuccessful means item is there.

Rakiticbarca:
Hi guys,
please what can cause a phone to boot to black screen after MUI 9 update.

Gptech, noobody Grandmufti

Don't understand, you mean after updating the phone suddenly went blank or it's still updating, with the Mi logo displayed on a black screen?

Boscojugunu:
noooo. Glo is the least of my problem. Switched to airtel since...... I just need money.......

Then dont act desperate, people will price your device alarmingly cheap.

fibonacci2526:
Me sef wan ask before ooo. What does he mean by graphics not cool? Na that one I wan know.

I suspect say e never downloaded any theme or even use wallpapers, you know that deceptive bland Miui default looks na .

Boscojugunu:
and graphics not that cool

Are you selling because of this and Glo 4G? Come out clean.

Ifedith:
For redmi note 5, i think it's more than that . Can you please delve deeper, thanks.....

No, he doesn't seem to care about band 28 I think.

Hanseel1:
I want to feel android for a while...iOS dor taya me.

I checked their ig page and it's based in china, so how did they bring the stuff for you? Not sure if they've any presence in Nigeria.

Why not start with the Mi 8? We are the presence you need here .

Hanseel1:
Seems like xiaomi phones(global versions) come with a lot of trouble

Seriously? What are the troubles?

Kalamu2018:
Still have ROM ..

Then flash against via updater app.

Kalamu2018:
Manually... Without Reset...

I hope you still have the rom, repeat the update, you might also need to do a factory reset if it persists.

gwkid:
The phone is cool tho ,,some peeps be confusing for X

That's because of the notch.
