Hello chief. Please how do I get the colourful icons like you have in your status bar? I use a redmi 8

Themes. Try some and see how they look on your device.

Please I need help my Redmi 4pro doesn’t come up anymore. I have tried charging it for hours now but it still doesn’t booth and there is usually a blink (red light) whenever I try to charge the phone.

If the battery died completely before this started, try and charge with another charger and see if it comes up. If it doesn't, remove the back cover, remove the battery connector, reconnect the battery connector, then try charging and see if it comes up. You can check YouTube on how to remove the back cover.

So my Redmi Note 4x is back and smooth.... I luckily got the volume up and power button to work and had to erase all data (truly sad) but... I rebooted and it's back. Using it to send this post.

Thanks for your help

Nice!

Sprintx24:
So is it possible that my Redmi Note 4x of 3 years came with bootloader unlocked? I am really trying to not use the test point option... Thanks for all your replies

Yes it's possible, mine came unlocked too. Just proceed to flashing the fastboot rom with mi flash tool, no need for test points for now.

Sprintx24:
Thanks I saw this video but it is complex and requires me to open up the phone.

Check YouTube on how to open it up, it's very easy.

I read somewhere on this thread that most xiaomi global rom phones shipped on AE come with unlocked bootloaders since they are most likely flashed with global roms. Please who can confirm if this is the case? Don't know if my bootloader is unlocked and I can't seem to find a straightforward process online.

Global rom phones are Chinese version phones whose roms have been replaced with global roms
This is only possible if the bootloader is unlocked.
On the other hand, Global version phones have locked bootloader with global rom pre installed.
Modified : if you still have the carton of your phone, we can tell if it's unlocked or not. If the carton has some Chinese characters, then it's likely unlocked because it means you phone is global rom

Sprintx24:
Thank you... I don't think my bootloader is unlocked or at least I don't know how to check its status and don't think that will be possible now that my phone can't come up. To the second option, how do I flash fastboot rom with test points? Thanks again...

My brother, na corona render man business redundant. Enough demand, no supply. God pass devil all the time sha. We are coming back stronger.
I should have some phones for sale from this week, and already making arrangement for note 9s.

Chai! You go surely bounce back stronger. Hopefully, the wait is over.

macbeyland:
baba how far? Been a while

We dey oooo, blike you dey on sabbatical before .

Sprintx24:
Unfortunately, it didn't work... Been holding it for 5 mins now but it's just staring at me and my fingers are already hurting

Is the bootloader unlocked? Device is soft bricked. Try power button + volume up when you on Fastboot mode to enter recovery and see if you can do a factory reset from there.
If that doesn't work and bootloader is unlocked, you'll need to download the Fastboot rom and flash with mi flash tool with pc. If bootloader is locked, you'll need to flash the Fastboot rom with test points.

Which wife be that? Make Xiaomi send rogue update to all RN5 and below I wonder why all these gurus for here no dey rush buy new device.

Your eyes go clear oo .

Buzx:
We go seize that phone if you no upgrade to RN9. You wan spoil our market?

But note 4 don dey already propose to another wife na.

Buzx:
Mr. RN4

Make I go find chewing stick first.

Buzx:
Sticking with my RN8 like Eba. I'm still in love with it, and it still meets all my needs till today, so upgrading is unnecessary. They are some people that are still using RN5 here self.

Chai! Song of songs .

Gmajor:
Same here. I've been experiencing this a lot and I keep wondering what could be the problem.

Oga, long time oo .

GreaterFuture1:
You are Sure? Have you used different Custom ROMs on this same device?

You'll need to do some research for this, battery life won't improve.

GreaterFuture1:
I want to run a Custom ROM on my own too

Well, you'll have to do some digging, though don't expect battery life to improve, miui is one of the best roms to stick to if you are after battery life.
Meanwhile, if you must run a custom rom, you'll need to unlock bootloader first.

GreaterFuture1:
Did you run any Custom ROMs on it

Yea, am on a miui based rom, Miroom.

GreaterFuture1:
Ok. Pls I want to know How is ur Note 4x holding up in 2020? Everything still good?
Where and how much would I get a new SD variant (4gb/64)

Phone is doing great! Not sure where new ones can be gotten.

Sam2310:
what is the moniker of the seller?

Not necessary.

GreaterFuture1:
I have contacted him. Apart from the battery issues, is there any other problem with the phone?

Erm, phone is not as stable as the snapdragon version plus it's dead in terms of software update is concerned. It's stuck at miui 9 whereas even the Redmi note 3 special edition got miui 10.

isco10:
Make guys dey ask from NL sellers for d processor inside b4 paying for Redmi Note 4x or Redmi Note 3

Na too good to be true price dey attract many.

GreaterFuture1:
So battery problems is one of the many issues with the phone?

The culprit is actually the processor, it's a battery vampire.

ityP:
The only thing wey spoil this phone na price. E no suppose pass 50k

GrandMufti:

Well, make person nr too point fingers yet .

GrandMufti:
My God!

Evil memories, one reason wen make many of us declare war against mtk.

isco10:
When? Dis na Mtk model

I think I don see d person advert for advert thread, e dey even market Redmi note 3 sef, and I dey sure say na Mtk too.

[quote author=GreaterFuture1 post=88889798][/quote]The screenshot says it all, you bought the wrong one! It's the one with mtk Helio X20 processor, that's how it is, there's no fix. This device has been dead in terms of support a long time ago!

GreaterFuture1:
Really? Is this true house?
How do I know it's refurbished

Screenshot your about phone, hope it's not the mtk version you bought?

ubev01:
where did you see a "new" Redmi note 4x in 2020. You probably bought a refurbished phone

Was coming to this.

Sprintx24:
I have done that but when I try to reboot it, it comes back to the same window and refuses to go beyond that boot window and into the home screen... Still the same problem all over again

What about power button and volume up? You can also remove the back cover of the phone and remove the battery connector, put back the battery connector and power up the phone. You can check YouTube for that.
