Kelvin. can post the link on how to flash eu rom on 64GB Mi Max?

Here you go. A guide by Doom Slayer at xiaomi.eu. Just follow thru, can use more updated twrp for respective helium and hydrogen sets.

Hint: You will find that it's pretty highly similiar to the EDL guide I posted (at least to the twrp part I mean). So if you have hands on on the EDL mode before, this will be piece of cake. NO NEED UNLOCK BOOTLOADER. I mentioned many times, EDL mode will bypass many things.

Dragonboy,

Now that I'm on eu rom. Can I lock back my bootloader?

If I locked back the bootloader, will it affects future eu rom package update by TWRP?

This means that volte is not working. Your phone is supposed to be on 4g even when on voice call.

Yes correct. HD voice call supported but 3G mode (older gen), newer VoLTE not working as telcos up to date still no include the phone to their network.

Hate that though, it's pretty annoying to see it keeps jumping mode when calling or incoming. Data will stop working when that happen. Sometimes (maybe always), SMS come in also will also drop to 3g mode. That's my experience on this.

No issue on that i guess, since twrp can flash on locked bootloader.

OK. Should be okay as I think the bootloader only need to be unlocked once for adb fastboot the TWRP image into the phone.

Thanks. :)

Yes, locked or unlock also can follow. So far i feel that this is the surest method to get it done since I never hit any problem before.

Hi guys, finally got me a set of the 32gb. Can anyone verify for me whether this rom is a fake china rom or vendor rom as the phone comes with 8.2.12.0.0. i downloaded the lastest global rom from the official channel but the phone was unable to verify package as shown in the screenshots. Can any kind souls guide me what should be done to rectify this problem? If this is rom that im having now clean? if so i will not be doing any changes to it. appreciate all help. Cheers

4g does not support voice calls. That's why when a call or SMS comes in it needs h/3g to receive it...

When you are on h/3g on a voice call, you will be surfing in 2g speeds.

Guys quick check please - how do you turn off the haptic feedback on the mi max?

Tried turning it off in the vibrations options, but the phone still vibrates on touch :(

Sent from Xiaomi MI 3W using GAGT

upon typing?

kelvin, do you remember the sim card extender or something that we can use the two sim cards while also utilizing SD card concurrently? what's the name ah?
