Ohh! EDL mode on Mi Max...

I have never gotten Mi Max into EDL mode so far. Hope he can.

bcos the seller put his cloud account on the phone everytime we put miui it asks for password to activate device , so no choice had to put TWRP and flash CM14 for him , so now all works just that its not MIUI but more smooth rom :)
I am running on the CM14 and am getting close to 11 Hours SOT.. on single sim though.

Am using Nougat too. Battery life is really fantastic after the change.

Hmmm... But I thought whenever one does a factory reset, MUIU would ask for Mi account and then the Mi account would be signed out before the factory reset process starts?

Sorry, a bit of blur sotong about it coz so far all the few Mi Max I sold previously had no such problem from my buyers leh..

the seller put the rom and logged in with his mi account and activated find mi , so everytime u reset the phone it says the mi cloud is activated and the phone can be used only if u login to the mi acouunt on the phone ,. which is the seller account . so cannot proceed.

Does this mean we cannot sell our xiaomi phones as 2nd hand as currently our phones are locked to our Mi account? The buyer may get into the same problem as your friend.

Yes. That's latest official global rom.

You just need to download the rom and follow the guides to MiFlash it to your phone and you will be happy poong pee pee... :)

May I know how long does it takes to update? Mine has been updating for the past 30mins. The progress bar already reached the end but timer still counting.

When you sell you phone. Do a factory reset. It will prompt you to login to Mi account and your phone will be deregister from Mi account and Mi cloud.

Don't know what's with the seller intention to do this. Evil

You can if you log out first. It will not prompt automatically. Evem if it does prompt what can you do without the password?

Trying to understand anirudhks's firend issue. So his problem is they can't log out first before resetting, because they need the seller account? Sholud have just brought the phone to the seller shop, and ask him to log out from the phone.

I just received my Mi Max non local set, but with global ROM. I hv 2 issues...

1) phone signal keep disconnecting
2) only get 3G

Is it a faulty set? If yes I will return it.

my friend tried that, seller say not his problem because is already more than 14days.

That's the reason why i have the phone to use now because he gave up XM altogether because of such seller and of course, imo XM has a part to play as well.
