Yep unlocked. But no matter which rom I flash to, it will still be 9.5.6.0 OIIMIFA after the reboot. Tried both Global and CN ROM.

JTBC 32 gb $195 64gb 239 - Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera (red box) but whether global rom depends on your luck. I got one with fake/modified ROM and I had to return it.

GLobal tech is global rom but malaysia set and under warranty from xiaomi singapore. This is Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera but not sure if the box is red.

Just got a export set from Mustafa at $269 for 4/64, but too bad they only have blue and gold no black, in the end go for the blue. Official global rom.

I have tried the developer rom, the china miui10 developer and guess what? the about phone still says 9.5.6 oiimifa. I did attach some screenshots few pages back. seriously nothing works.

I tried to swap/return and the seller is saying there is no new version thats why still 9.5.6.......

Where did you buy yours from? Lazada, Shopee or some shop?

Bought mine from Lazada and managed to return it because of this OIIMIFA issue.

Did you try TWRP Full Wipe (System. Data, Cache, Internal Storage) then flash official recovery rom or EU rom store on the SD card ?



* Of course remember to backup data first.

Hi just wondering if anyone facing same issue as me.

I'm on global rom 9.5.13 and my YouTube app doesn't work anymore. When opening the app it just shows the loading circle and nothing else.

Tried clearing cache and installing both older and newer versions all don't work.

Mobile YouTube works fine through browser so it seems it's an app problem.
