ok so here is the procedure , unlocked bootloader guys only who are using the 128GB or the 64GB model

install twrp
go to fastboot mode
fastboot format system
fastboot format userdata ( this is wil erase your local SD make sure you backup )
then press and hold volume up and power to reboot to the twrp

select the zip file downloaded and install and then reboot ( during the reboot twrp will say no OS installed ignore it )

wait for 5 mins to reboot and you now have a global rom on your 64GB Max

anyone able to unlock their bootloader with a modified "global" rom? Tried to update to official ROM thru updater zip but got the error "can't verify update" and the miui unlock app says my MI MAX is not supported due to the modified rom so i'm trying to get the rom back to official.

thank you!
just 1 question, this rom can still receive OTA updates?

I dont think you install OTA as the OTA will fail since the zip will look for hydrogen device , ours is a helium

I think buying from Qoo10 is fine so far. Qoo10 is the one holding the money until we receive our goods. I ever bought a fair Beats before and got refunded by Qoo10. So far, they have my confidence.

On one hand its good that you have had good experience with qoo10 when it comes to getting a refund, but i am sure there are plenty of others, me included, who can attest that qoo10 is a total beech when it comes to aftersales service. I remember there were previous cases of smartphone scams on qoo10 where refurbished samsung galaxy s4 handsets sold at low prices turned out to be fakes and qoo10 aftersales response was nonchalant and buyers ended up having to make police report. Ultimately, we cant just fully rely on qoo10 for consumer protection. I learnt my lessons from past experience and nowadays i choose to pay through paypal no matter how small the amount is.

If you pay with PayPal, yes ... sure can get back $$.

Any other payment, wash your ass and get really to be screwed by Qoo10. They don't care about refund one.

Haven't unlock yet, just sent request

Now trying to update to older 7.5.4.0

New listing for 4gb/128gb on qoo10 going for $425 + $1 shipping. Currently best coupon combination available would be $10 mc item coupon + $20 cart coupon + 1000 qpoints to bring the cost down to $385. However, not sure how reliable this seller is so buy at your own risk. Same seller is also selling the 16gb and 64gb variants at considerably cheaper prices than other sellers so not sure if they are legit or not.

Edit: Dont want to mention the seller by name but can just search xiaomi max on qoo10 and sort by newly listed.

This new guy on q10 seems abit dubious....

I shall wait for Shopee voucher then hoot from sinoteck.sg

XD

 

[Seifer28]

Sinotek is selling 4GB RAM + 128GB ROM in Qoo10 for $490.90 now.
In Hokkien terms, boh hua leh...

Its the same sinoteck.sg on Shopee

If wanna buy.... just hoot from the cheapest platform sua

Since pricing across all platforms differ because of the commission structure

XD

This is for the beta miui 8 right?

Omg.

Need to unlock bootloader.

Need to root to install twrp.

Need to clear data.

So chim...

Thanks for your effort though.

Let me either built up courage or hesitate till the official 1 comes out.

Are you planning to share this to miui forum?

This is good stuff...

I'm going to collect my set later....whats the purpose of flashing it to Gobal Rom ?? The seller say can do software update from within the setting if xiaomi got update. And they pre installed the playstore for me.

If iput it to edl mode and use miflash...do i need to reinstall playstore...and if so, from where ?

Thanks in advance ^^
