can sic flash guide? tyvm
Can refer to the below quotes for some tips on flashing from CN ROM to Global ROM:
Actually, my Senpais already did, hee. Only thing I did differently was I chose the option "Clean all" only during my Flash stage.

I did it myself all the way from binding phone to account, install Mi Unlock for unlocking bootloader, download and use MiFlash to install WHYRED 9.2.7 Global rom, unlock bootloader again, update to global 9.5.6 rom. This was my first time and took quite awhile to research how it was done properly. Luckily still succeeded though all files lost without backup
Correct me if i am wrong.
Step 1:
Install MiUnlock to unlocking bootloader
Step 2:
Use MiFlash to install WHYRED 9.2.7 (this is to make it to a lower ROM first)
Step 3:
Install MiUnlock to unlocking bootloader again
Step 4:
Use MiFlash to install Global ROM 9.5.6

Questions:
1. Why can't i skip step 3 and 4? ** Edit: got it from the following post. need to downgrade first.**
2. Does the global rom comes with Google Play Store?

Congrats to you! And you are correct to choose Clean All only.

FYI, If you choose clean all and lock, you will get that Bootloader loop which says MIUI cannot be installed on device. Don't panick, you just need To use the unlock bootloader software to unlock it again.

Maybe I am slow but I just found out the official ROM download is not available. It was shutdown since 07th Jun 2018: http://en.miui.com/thread-2804733-1-1.html

Any idea where else can I download official ROM from? I went to XDA forum but it looks like those are not official ROMs.

It depends on the shipping company you choose. :s12:

okay, thanks, never ordered from taobao before

Tried to order and it says:

抱歉,该商品在收货地址内不可售,请重选收货地址 = Item cannot be shipped to Singapore?

I downloaded from the link here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...dmi-note-5-china-ai-to-leaked-global-t3782175

its pointing to miui download site (bigota.d.miui.com) so it should be the official one

You need to use third-party shipping agent to ship Xiaomi phones, such as Ezbuy, 86of, Prouter, Oops etc.

Ohhh, but I wasnt presented with these options during checkout though? :s22:
You have to get the forwarder's warehouse address from the shipping agent first, then proceed to ship the product to the warehouse.

Chill bro, relax a bit leh, lol cuz years ago when i was dabbling with taobao, i recall seeing 4px/prouter etc, thus, i was wondering how come i wasnt presented with these options...


Yup, something like CGW because Taobao don't do shipping of goods with lithium battery through their official shipping option.

ohh, so that's the reason why, thanks!

Can somebody help me out here with my understanding:

1. Out of the box, the phone is able to do fast charge with the given charger. That means that it's able to charge 2A instead of 1A.

2. I need to purchase a quick charge 3.0 (though RN5 only support 2.0) charger to do quick charge which mean charging at a higher voltage.

3. When I connect my XM powerbank to the phone, it has a little circle around the charging lightening icon. This means that I'm doing QC 2.0.

Right ?
