Xiaomi Mi Max

[KalTorak]

No update for me lei. It's that am on the latest. Faints

That's the problem with seller custom modified ROM. It's actually China ROM re-labelled with 'Global' text. You can't get any OTA updates using the modified ROM. For 64GB will need to flash to China stable or beta ROM to get future updates.

Yes. You are damn right bro. :

So, even those bros who have a China rom or "Global" rom for 64 or even 32 models, it is always advisable to perform a reinstall or reflash using the official rom for the first time, and that one time can save you from possible troubles as time goes on.

Coz we don't know how they get the rom be it official rom or custom / modified rom.

Could be an unofficial/unpublished or modified rom loaded for you thus no OTA updates!

How and where you get your Mi Max?

Some seller rooted the Mi Max, preloaded unofficial or midified rom thus Pokeman Go hates it!

Haha!

Everyone learns from ground zero too...

7.3.14
thats the version im still using.loud volume.maybe better battery life.

You still got 7.3.1.4 Fastboot ROM, bro?

Can upload and link me to download?

Coz I fed up with the low volume Mi Sound Profile...

Is 7.3.1.4 is th last good rom without the low volume problem?

Sian to the max. Really don't know how to go about this. It's working totally fine for me with this rom now. But if there is a need to get it reflash or whatsoever I would like to get it done ASAP. Do not want headache in the near future once I load all my apps and couldn't update kinda of things happen! Any kind soul who can help me to solve this? I don't mind paying a small fee and meet at your most convenient place! Really don't know how to go about all these at all! Please help. Thank you.

I think there is nothing you can do now but just wait for Xiaomi to release the official Global Stable ROM for 64GB model...

I'm not sure will it be released or not as Xiaomi only sells the 32GB as an "International" model.

The 64/128GB is strictly a China domestic models at press time, thus the only official rom is China ROM without Google and PlayStore pre-installed.

The only help you can get now is to ask a Guru here to help you to install Google Services and Playstore.

Not that bad afterall if your 64GB can run Google Service and Store likes on the official 32GB Global ROM model.

**Me, don't know how to install Google thingy on a China ROM Mi Max..SO please don't ask me...

Seller had actually installed the play store for me. I also can download all the apps that I needed.

 

[Aspiringparamedic]

Does anybody have extra screen protector and case to sell?

OIC! That's good!

Then, okay lah! You can use Google services. Just stay with the current ROM then.

You can't do much to flash to Global ROM afterall at the moment.

For your case, nothing to worry coz so far so good that Smartcell does a honest job of installing a proper and official rom for every set it sold even it is a China set.

Afterall, a roti prata has already preloaded with official Global Stable rom out of the factory.

This is the case for 32GB model.

Smartcell doesn't sell 64/128GB at the moment...
