i bought from a local shop who shipped it in from china.

when i boguht it they said 6 month wty (qoo10).

so i sent it back to the shop, they sent it back to china xiaomi service centre, then they brought it back lor.

china xiaomi should be the same as xiaomi singapore i am assuming, at most 1-2 days. but the shop of course will have to minimise expenses and try to ship it there and back along with their routine shipments.

took me 5 weeks to get it back. i understand the shop only sent it to China on week 3. then week 4 said repaired, but needed to wait until week 5 to follow their china shipment back to sg.

Did you managed to reset your phone before you handed it to them?


After they have repaired it, did the problem resurfaced?

Bought from overseas?
This is why I rather pay a bit more to get a brand new set with local warranty from the usual shops. Who knows whether the overseas seller will ship a returned set with problems and pass the problems to the next customer.

Bought from a seller on Qoo10. Getting export set is like this, one has to undertake the risk, which I understand.

well my screen was bent slightly so i'm not sure if it's due to that

in any case, mine started out as random restarts whenever the phone is in my pocket for a while. it eventually grew into power outages as i described, where it suddenly loses power and stays that way until i do something physical to it such as shaking or knocking it. during these power outage periods, plugging in the power cable doesn't charge it either.

i got it repaired by xiaomi china (through the shop i bought from in sg). they did it without charging me so it may not be related to bending at all. i'm simply told it's motherboard damage.


in any case, keep an eye out for your phone's condition aggravating. don't treat it as simply random restarts, in case it's the same issue as mine.

i totally ignored mine because i thought it was just restarts, no rush to fix it. mine just one day turned off in the morning on my way to work and for like 12 hours refused to turn on. luckily that night after some aggressive negotiations i somehow managed to turn it back on for 1 hour to backup my app data and whatsapp before it died for good thereafter.

i sent it back for service immediately.

i could very well have lost all my data that day. be careful with your "random restarts".

My wife's RMN5 AI seems to experienced the same symptoms. Phone keeps random restart. A few times, it'll turn off and very hard to power it up again.

How long did it took the shop to repair for you?

i did reset it before i sent back to them. factory reset also problem keep resurfacing, it's clearly a hardware issue

Sry, I didn't follow what u wrote previously.

U need your own Mi account to setup the phone.

If u brought a used phone and during start up, it need Mi account of the previous owner to setup, u can try going recovery mode to wipe data.

this issue is bugging me. got myself the RN5 CN Global to muck around, and i got a 128gb sd card and i format it to ext3 in hopping to copy files > 4gb, i did various sw on win10 and also did the whole terminal script thingy on OSX, neither work.

i plug in the SDCard with ext3 and said i need to format the card back to fat32. i almost wanting to VMWare install or cloverboot a spare hdd to linux to do a Linux so i can natively format the SDCard to ext3.

qns where did i go wrong and i am still trying to figure this out, XDA and all usual forums doesn't yield any possible result.

oh i see.

odd though, i've always used exfat from my rmn1 to rmn2 to rmn3 to rmn4 and now rmn5.

it's definitely supported.

i use my windows pc to format it then plop it in, it's fast and has no filesize limits.

ah ok i will try that later when i reach home! thanks!!

china numba 1 rom is out

Sent from Xiaomi REDMI NOTE 5 using GAGT

new rom feels very good, some syncs that had issues now work correctly. notifications is way better than old china rom as well.

The only problem is settings can not longer be easily accessed by swiping down..
