Brand New Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 4/64 Nebula Red with slight fault on the screen available for sale @53k.
Description of the fault.
A customer bought it from me and after unboxing and updating it, noticed a line impression that runs from top to bottom of the screen. This is not a broken screen. I had to collect back the phone and sent the buyer a replacement.
I'm currently with the phone and after using it for over 2 hours, the line is not there. The screen seems perfect to me. I was almost forced to think the buyer was lying if not that he sent me a picture of the issue. Apparently, it comes once in a while and goes away.
Update: I noticed that the line came up briefly and disappeared again. See the line on picture 2
acekid109: You welcome baba, unlocking bootloader and getting global rom is the way to go. Seems the pie update is crashing phones that came with global rom but the bootloader unlock wasn't official
I thought the guy who got his own bricked was global version with bootloader sealed.
nabeans: I got OTA software update notification on my Redmi Note 5 ai (China ROM). I think it was for update to Pie. After downloading from a strong WiFi network, I installed and immediately after, my screen started flickering off and on like every 2/3 seconds. Can't even open beyond desktop and it flickers off back to lock screen. What to do??
Seems this note 5 pie rom has some bugs on some note 5
henry007: Macbeyland, can I assume my bootloader is already unlocked. I updated via OTA successfuly
No, it is still locked. I would advise you to commence the process of unlocking it so that once the global rom comes out, you can flash it via mi flash tool.
sharex15: Bought a redmi note 5 replacement screen from jumia for over 9000 naira. It came and after replacing it, it was a bad one that brought out colours all around. Please can anyone link me a trusted seller on AliExpress or even here, or is there anyone with a good one in stock

wiconse: I don't really understand d benefit of unlocking boatloader
if your phone happens to suffer softbrick, you can get it back working if your bootloader is unlocked. If your bootloader is locked and you brick your phone, it's usually goodbye to the phone.
emitheo: This is the newest method to unlock your xiaomi device bootloader to enable you flash custom or stock roms, grant root acess, tweak the UI, etc.
100% working. Follow the steps accordinly. This method is simplified. No more waiting days and weeks to receive unlock permission. Follow the steps diligently. 1 minute plus video. Not lengthy
Says who? Even the video said one has to wait until after xx hours according to the prompt on mi unlock tool before one can try to unlock successfully.
It means the both the global version and Chinese version don't have band 28. I'm curious why many websites keep stating that the global version has band 28. I have personally tested it and didn't get glo 4g
1000angstroms: I feel the bricking phones were the ones that were rooted, of course it means they have unlocked bootloader and other mods installed. I locked my bootloader infact reflashed my redmi 6 pro with a fresh ROM when I tried all those XDA forum modding and wanted to run into problems. If you want a stable xiaomi phone and hassle free OTA updatea, don't tamper with its bootloader via unlocking and all those modding stuffs such as rooting. I've been updating my phone via OTA and its being stable and functional cos I've left all those intricacies of modding. I feel when one needs to start doing all those modding is when your phone is outdated and no more updated by xiaomi then you can update via custom ROM and all that. My 2 cent opinion though and google will help alot of people who may find it necessary to go into tinkering with their phones but for me that my phone is still in xiaomi update programme I won't touch the bootloader. Am using a Chinese version too and they are very sensitive to being easily bricked if you make mistakes.
I repeat, there's no relationship between unlocked bootloader and OTA update. The guy who bricked his phone had a locked bootloader.
elantraceey: No nothing yet, changed region to India for two days but had to change it back to Nigeria, the ads I was getting was too much despite I put off recommendation especially in music app .
