I hope so, but I seriously doubt it. I believe the mobile network operators can help in resolving these theft issues, if they want to, probably by blacklisting stolen phones on their networks. Also we should have legislation to criminalise altering a phone's IMEI.
Altering imei was made possible by mediatek, that is going to be hard to control but the line of xiaomi in such a way that no matter how you flash the phone, it must still ask for password. The phone is as useless to the thief who can't have access to it.

the phone will get down to lovexee in Lagos today.by God's grace he will fix the shit cos we had similar issue before he got out of the problem,since he still have all the files,sending the bricked RN5 to him is the best option.

Good decision. I'll be expecting the good news, fingers crossed.

Pros: Dark mode, better camera, better battery performance, etc
Cons: You can't use WiFi and Hotspot at the same time.

Are you using Global Version?

Also if you update successfully disable WiFi and Bluetooth scanning

Download and use the choose update package option on your updater app. If you don't see it just click the MIUI 10 logo on the updater app 10 times

Check your updater app settings if it's set to only download via wifi.

Or just connect to Hotspot and update

How bad is it? If it's not too bad, use it like dat.

Well I'm considering that but the crack has already spread.
Is it possible to change only the front glass?

The more reason why I think it's not out of place for him to have asked for opinions. Better safe than sorry.
His device may probably be one of the devices affected....

Dude, on airtel at work, I get speeds of 18 - 19mb per second, my Mtn isn't 4g enabled but it's speed at home is satisfactory. You don't know the speed of Mtn in his area. So it might as well be possible

Are you sure you didn't restrict your apps data usage for MTN??
