Upcoming Xiaomi phablet to be called Max said to sport 6 4 inch display
Upcoming Xiaomi phablet to be called Max said to sport 6 4 inch display
Going by the name options that were available, itd be reasonable to assume that the device in question is a large phone (phablet), possibly the largest Xiaomi. Sadly, nothing else has been officially revealed.
As for the rumors, they say that the phablet will be larger than the 5.7-inch Xiaomi Mi Note, with some even suggesting a display size of 6.4-inch. Other rumored specs include QHD display and SD820 SoC. Needless to say, rumors are rumors until confirmed, so take all this with a pinch of salt.

Tutorial Lengkap 100 Sukses Unlock Bootloader XIAOMI dengan Cara ini
Tutorial Lengkap 100 Sukses Unlock Bootloader XIAOMI dengan Cara ini
Unlock Bootloader (UBL) adalah suatu cara untuk membuka kunci bootloader pada prangkat smartphone, untuk perangkat smartphone XIAOMI menggunakan tool �Mi Unlock�, selama proses unlock dibutuhkan akses internet dengan akun Mi yang telah terdaftar dan disetujui permohonan akses unlock bootloader sebelumnya".
Dikutif dari miui.web.id �xiaomi sudah mulai me-lock bootloader pada redmi Note 3 sejak pertama kali diluncurkan, yang tujuannya untuk melindungi keselamatan data pengguna".
Seperti yang Xiaomi ungkap sebelumnya, Xiaomi akan membuat perubahan yang sama untuk Seri Mi lainnya secara bertahap. Dan Device selanjutnya seperti Mi 4c dan Mi Note Pro. Mungkin Juga untuk perangkat teranyar Xiaomi kedepannya.
Anda ingin tahu perbedaan perangkat lock bootloader dan unlock bootloader ?
Pada prangkat lock bootloader
- Biasanya tidak akan mempengaruhi update OTA
- Akses ROOT akan dinonaktifkan
- Untuk memperbarui perangkat via recovery perlu menggunakan Mi PC Suite
Sedangkan, pada unlock bootloader
- Biasanya tidak akan mempengaruhi update OTA. Namun ada sebagian pengguna yang mengganti sistem recovery menjadi recovery TWRP tidak dapat melakukan update via OTA dikarenakan fitur TWRP yang tidak menyediakan fitur tersebut
- Akses ROOT akan diaktifkan
- System recovery dapat digantikan dengan sistem recovery TWRP
Jika Anda sendiri tidak mengerti banyak hal tentang dunia Android mulai dari Flashing ROM, costom ROM, ROOTing, costom recovery TWRP, tweak dll. Unlock Bootloader sangat tidak disarankan, karena dapat menyebabkan kerusakan serius pada perangkat Anda atau data pribadi.
Tutorial Lengkap 100% Sukses Unlock Bootloader XIAOMI dengan Cara ini
Tutorial ini bisa dikatakan pengalaman saya pribadi, dengan mencari berbagai sumber tutorial unlock bootloader yang membuat saya sedikit kebingungan untuk melakukan proses UBL pada prangkat smartphone XIAOMI saya.
Mau tahu bagaimana caranya saya sukses 100 % berulang kali unlock bootloader ?
Tutorial ini saya bagi dengan dua tahap :
- Tahap Pertama, melakukan request atau permohonan unlock bootloader ke website http://en.miui.com/unlock/
- Tahap Kedua, proses unlock boot loader menggunakan tool Mi unlock
Persiapan :
- Perangkat Smartphone XIAOMI
- Komputer Bersistem OS Windows 7, 8 (8,1), 10 atau yang terbaru
- Kabel data XIAOMI atau yang sejenis yang berkualias baik
- Memiliki koneksi internet yang stabil
- Sudar memiliki akun Mi (kalau belum silahkan daftar terlebih dahulu (www.account.xiaomi.com)
- Download driver qualcomm 64 bit / qualcomm 34 bit untuk driver prosesor MTK (download sesuai tipe prosesor smartphone) *Abaikan saja kalau sudah terinstall MiFlashtool pada qualcomm prosesor
- Download Mi Unlock / mirror link
- Download ROM Fastboot China Developer
Catatan :
Sebelumnya saya mewajibkan untuk Download ROM China Developer, karena dapat info dari sahabat miuipedia.com, tidak harus pindah ke ROM China Developer ternyata juga sukses melakukan Unlock Bootloader.
Saran saya cobalah terlebih dahulu unlock dengan ROM MIUI yang ada anda gunakan sekarang, apabila gagal verifikasi stop pada 50% baru pindah ROM China Developer.
Tahap Pertama Permohonan Unlock Bootloader (Apply Unlock Bootloader)



Lanjutkan dengan mengklik kembali Unlock Now.

Akan muncul formulir pengisian untuk permohonan Unlock Bootloader pada kolom �please input your name� isi sesuai nama yang dikehendaki (tanpa spasi) �please input your mobile number� masukkan no handphone Anda, dan pada kolom pengisian �please state the real reason for unlocking in English. Copied reason might get your request rejected!� isi pesan dalam bahasa Inggris !!!
Gunakan google translate apabila kesulitan menulis alasan permohonan.
Isi dengan alasan Anda ingin unlock bootloader misal dengan menulis �I will install costom ROM Redmi note 3 Pro. I will modify xiaomi device� *sesuaikan dengan perangkat smartphone Anda.

Apabila muncul pesan �Please input correct name� itu artinya ada kesalahan dalam penulisan nama, jangan gunakan spasi.

Naah.. Sekang apa harus harus Anda lakukan...?
Menunggu.... Ya menunggu.... mungkin sedikit membosankan bagi yang sangat berkeinginan melakukan proses selanjutnya.... Hehehe
Permohonan unlock bootoader tersebut akan diproses lebih kurang 10 hari namun Pengalaman saya sendiri memakan waktu kurang lebih 4 hari tergantung kondisi dan situasi dilapangan hehe... di CS-Nya XIAOMI. Apabila mendapatkan persetujuan akan mendapat pesan SMS dari XIAOMI.

Kok lama amat...??
Karena yang mengirim permohonan bukan Anda saja, bukan di negara Indonesia saja tapi juga para pengguna perangkat smartphone XIAOMI di dunia yang ingin melakukan proses unlock bootloader.
Saya bocorin trik saya hehe
Saya pernah melakukan pada suatu permintaan unlock bootloader menggunakan email sukses tanpa harus menunggu konfirmasi hingga 10 hari sama sekali.
Anda boleh mencoba beberapa hari kedepan mungkin 3 atau 4 hari tanpa menunggu SMS persetujuan unlock bootloader pada hal akun Mi gak saya aktifkan di device cuman buat daftar proses unlock bootloader aja ... :D
Anda dapat mencoba tool MiFlash Unlock apabila sukses akan muncul tampilan smarphone sedang akan dihubungkan dengan kabel data. Namun apabila belum disetujui akan muncul pesan.

Tahap Kedua, melakukan proses unlock bootloader dengan menggunakan Mi Unlock tool
Oh.. iya pastikan Akun Mi anda sudah terlihat "online" pada smartphone yang akan di unlock untuk memastikan nya anda dapat mengunjungi website

Setelah anda loging, dilanjutkan dengan mengklik pada tab menu find device, tunggu beberapa saat akan terlihat status devices, apakah dalam keadaan online atau tidak, apabila terlihat "online" dapat lanjutkan dengan langkah selanjutnya.
Kemudian Extrak Tool Mi Unlock yang sudah Anda donwload sebelumnya pada direktori yang mudah ditemukan dan klik MiFlashUnlock.exe, akan muncul pesan peringatan dan dilanjutkan dengan mengklik �agree�

Apabila sukses akan terlihat menu �unlock�
Pertama, sebelumnya aktifkan dahulu Buka Kunci OEM [OEM unlocking] pada opsi pengembang, setelah itu dilanjutkan dengan mematikan daya smartphone XIAOMI dan masuk ke mode fastboot dengan menggunakan kombilasi tombol volume bawah + power hingga muncul tampilan MUI BUNNY sedang oprak robot android.
Kedua, hubungkan kabel data dari pc ke smartphone, tampilan Mi Unlock akan menjadi seperti ini.

Dan dilanjutkan dengan mengklik unlock, proses unlock akan berjalan hingga mencapai 100% apabila stop pada 50% dan muncul pesan �couldn�t verfy device�

Hal ini terjadi karena beberapa kesalahan seperti :
- Lupa mengaktifkan Buka Kunci OEM [OEM unlocking] pada opsi pengembang
- Tidak menggunakan ROM Depelover China, walaupun saya sendiri pernah unlock menggunakan ROM Global Stabel namun lebih banyak gagal dari pada suksesnya
Dan kembali pada langkah sebelumnya, coba kembali proses unlock bootloader, namun saya menyarankan untuk meng logout terlebih dahulu sebelum mencoba kembali.

Unlocked Successfully.... !!! Selesai sampai disini selamat, anda Sukses Unlock Bootloader Dengan Baik.
hmm... berkeinginan hanya untuk Fix 4G LTE pada ROM GLOBAL STABLE yang hilang pada pengaturan Jaringan Prioritas ?
Apabila iya...
Yang harus Anda lakukan update ROM pack file "zip" stable global menggunakan aplikasi pembaruan, apabila gagal "verifikasi pembaruan" sewaktu masih menggunakan ROM Developer China.
Smartphone Anda sudah pernah unlock bootloader dan kembali device locked bootloader, dikarekan proses flashing ROM menggunakan miFlash, yang Anda harus lakukan tidak harus mengaktifkan Akun mi di device, atau mengaktifkan fitur membuka OEM device Xiaomi dan juga tidak perlu lagi harus menggunakan ROM Developer China lagi. Langsung saja masuk ke mode fastboot dan lakukan lagi proses unlock bootloader menggunakan tool Mi Unlock seperti sebelumnya. Dengan catatan devices yang pernah di unlock harus sama dengan Akun Mi yang pernah digunakan.
Kalau anda punya saran atau ide tambahan materi yang ingin anda pelajari terkait artikel ini, jangan sungkan silahkan hubungi saya.
Bantu saya mengembangkan website ini menjadi lebih baik lagi, semakin banyak di share semakin banyak yang terbantu.
Terima kasih atas kunjungannya.

Guide to setting up a Xiaomi MIUI phone for a more Stock Android experience
Guide to setting up a Xiaomi MIUI phone for a more Stock Android experience
While I love Xiaomis hardware, there are a number of issues I have with MIUIs default settings and application handling.
In this post I will outline which settings I modify in order to provide a more usable experience, at least for my tastes.
Note that the instructions below assume you have at least installed the Google Play store on your device and that it is running MIUI 8. Personally I use the latest Xiaomi.eu firmware on all my Xiaomi devices.
Launcher
While the default MIUI launcher is fine for some, it is not to my taste. I prefer the stock Google Now launcher.
The following steps are required to set the Google Now launcher as the default.
1. Install the Google app and the Google Now Launcher from the Play store
2. Open the Google app from within the Play store & set it up.
3. Go into the Security app & select Permissions
4. In Autostart, enable the Google and Google Now apps
5. Reboot the phone
6. Go to Settings / Installed Apps / Defaults.
7. Change the Launcher to Google App.
8. Press the Home button and set up the Launcher
9. Go into the Security app & select Battery
10. Select App battery saver
MIUI is extremely restrictive on providing Apps with the permissions they need and preventing apps from running in the background.
This often leads to significant issues, such as missing notifications due to MIUI having killed the app in the background.
Fixing application restrictions involves a number of steps.
Autostart Permissions
1. Go into the Security app & select Permissions
2. In Autostart, enable any app that should be allowed to start when the phones starts - e.g. email clients, messaging apps, social networks, alarm clock / timers, apps that need to sync data etc.
Background Processes
1. Go to Settings / Battery & Performance
2. Go to Manage apps battery usage
3. Turn Off Power Saving Modes
Battery saver restrictions
2. Ensure Battery Saver is Off
3. Select App battery saver
Developer Options
There are two useful flags in Developer Options to reduce the aggressiveness of killing background processes. To enable Developer Options go to:
Settings / About Phone & press 7 times on the "MIUI version" section to Enable Developer Options (Settings / Additional Settings / Developer Options)
Once all your apps are installed on the device, it is a good idea to set the default applications for each category, e.g. Browser, Gallery, Email, Video etc
Go to Settings / Installed Apps / Defaults to select your favourite app in each category.
Languages
English in MIUI is defined as American English, but as a UK resident, I prefer to set the phone up to reflect UK preferences, such as date formats and keyboard layouts.
1. Go to Settings / Additional settings
1. Back in Language & Input, chose Spell checker
2. Change the Language to English (United Kingdom)
1. In Language & Input, chose Text-to-speech output
2. Configure the Google Text-to-speech Engine
3. Change the Language to English (United Kingdom)
Adding Languages
By default, MIUI does not show Notification icons on the homescreen. To enable this:
1. Go to Settings / Notification & status bar
2. Enable "Show notification icons"
Battery percentage
MIUI allows the user to enable a battery percentage display next to the battery icon.
1. Go to Settings / Notification & status bar
2. Change Battery indicator from Graphical to Percentage.
I personally love built-in Do Not Disturb, to prevent notifications and unwanted calls from waking me up in the night.
1. Go to Settings / Do not disturb
2. Set this up to your preferences, including exceptions.
Data Usage
The Data Usage feature can be useful to ensure you do not go over your monthly data allowance.
1. Open the Security App
2. Go to Data usage and Set data usage limit
3. Set the Warning level and reset data

Flashing a Global ROM onto the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro Snapdragon 650
Flashing a Global ROM onto the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro Snapdragon 650
During yesterdays trip to Stokenchurch to meet up with some fellow phone fanatics, I purchased a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro second hand off one of the guys at the meet. No doubt I will go into more details in a future post about the differences between this phone and the Mediatek (non-Pro) version, but in this post I will provided an overview of how I transitioned from the stock Chinese ROM to the Global ROM.
A similar procedure is likely needed for other Snapdragon SoC Xiaomi devices, although I have only tried the Redmi Note 3 Pro myself.
Preparation
We will need to download the following ROM images and tools before proceeding:
Chinese Developer ROM
MIUI Flashing tool
Redmi Note 3 Latest Qualcomm Global Stable (Fastboot ROM)
Unlocking tool
15 second adb installer (if adb and fastboot are not already installed on your PC)
Stage 1 - Changing from the Stable ROM to a Developer ROM
In order to unlock the bootloader on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro you need to be on the Developer firmware. This is unlike my experience with the Mediatek version, where an unlock could be performed from either ROM channel.
If you try to unlock the ROM from Stable, the unlock process will fail at 50% with the error message "Current account is different from the account info on the device"
Ensure you are running the latest version of the Stable Chinese ROM (check in the Updater app) and then flash the Developer ROM via the built in Updater app.
To do this, copy the zip file onto the device, run the Updater app, select the button at the top right and select "Chose Update Package". Select the zip file and off you go - you should have changed from the Stable channel to the Developer channel.
Stage 2 - Unlocking the bootloader
In a previous post I have gone into details of how to request a bootloader unlock from Xiaomi. If you have requested an unlock previously, you should already have the permissions on your Mi account to unlock the bootloader directly, but if not then it is worth checking this post.
Ensure that you are logged onto your Mi account in the phone, reboot into Fastboot mode (from device off, hold down power and volume down), run up the Unlocking tool MiFlashUnlock, sign in and go through the unlock procedure.
Stage 3 - Flashing the Global ROM
Once the bootloader is unlocked you can flash the Global ROM via the MiPhone flash tool. Once again, unlike the SP Flash tool used for Mediatek SoCs, with the Snapdragon SoC the bootloader must be unlocked before we can flash using this tool.
We need to unzip the tgz completely to get the extracted files and then use the MiFlash tool to flash the device. The tool is a little picky on the location of the files, so I put them in a folder off the root of the C drive.
It should be noted that fastboot and adb must be preinstalled for the tool to work - if required, download the 15 second adb installer above.
During the installation of the MiFlash tool, all sorts of weird instructions are given, mentioning a "Settings" application. I ignored all this, as there was no settings application installed & all went well without any further configuration.
To flash the Global ROM, the phone must be in Fastboot mode (Power and Vol down) and attached via USB to the PC. We must locate the unzipped global images folder using the Browse button (where the batch files are located) and then select refresh, which should pick up the device. Select "Flash all" as the flash option and then hit the Flash button.
Hopefully once everything has completed, the phone will boot up with the Global image, with all the Google services and a distinct lack of Chinese apps!

Flashing a Global ROM on a Snapdragon based Xiaomi phone without a Bootloader Unlock
Flashing a Global ROM on a Snapdragon based Xiaomi phone without a Bootloader Unlock
One of the limitations with Xiaomis new bootloader locking policy is that a user can only unlock the bootloader of one device every 30 days, and then only after you have successfully applied for your Mi account to have this right.
When importing a Xiaomi phone from China, you will find that the installed ROM will either be a genuine Chinese Xiaomi ROM, without pre-installed Google Services and with some settings not tailored for the western market, or a shop ROM, which has Google Services and western-centric settings, but will never get any updates.
Some of Xiaomis devices (usually those available in other markets, such as India) have Global ROMs, which are official Xiaomi ROMs with western-centric settings that will get updates for the supported life of the device. It is these that are the most suitable for the western market - if they are available!
In a previous post, I outlined the method by which you could change from the stock Chinese ROM to a Global ROM, but this involved requesting a bootloader unlock. It also assumes you have a stock Chinese ROM and not a modified shop ROM.
In this post I will describe how to flash the Global ROM without requiring an unlocked bootloader from any firmware.
This should also work to get back to a stock Chinese image if your device is shipped with a shop ROM.
Suitability
We will need to download the following ROM images and tools before proceeding:
Mi Flash tool
Global Fastboot ROM (for the relevant device)
15 second adb installer (if adb and fastboot are not already installed on your PC)
Stage 1 - Installing the Mi Flash tool
Install the Mi Flash tool. This will copy the relevant Qualcomm drivers onto the hard drive in addition to installing the tool. Dont worry about any instructions that pop up during and after installation. Just go ahead and install.
Stage 2 - Enabling USB Debugging
In order to bypass the locked bootloader, we need to enter EDL mode. This is accomplished via adb.
adb devices (to make sure the phone is connected)
adb reboot edl
Stage 4 - Change the QHUSB_BULK driver to the Qualcomm HS-USB driver
In EDL mode, we need to change the default QHUSB_BULK driver that Windows installs with the proper Qualcomm HS-USB driver that is present in the Mi Flash tool installation folder.
1. Open Device Manager on the PC and locate the QHUSB_BULK driver.
2. Right click & Update Driver Software
3. Select Browse my computer for driver software
4. Locate C:Program Files (x86)XiaomiMiPhoneQualcomm
5. Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
6. Select Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
At this stage, I got an error message saying that the USB device could not be recognised. I powered the device off and back on by holding down the Power button and went back to Stage 3 to return to EDL mode.
Once complete, the new Qualcomm driver should be present in Device Manager in the following location:
Ports (COM & LPT) / Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
Stage 5 - Unpacking the Fastboot driver
Locate the downloaded Fastboot .tgz file and unpack it completely. I used 7-Zip to accomplish this.
Unpack the .tgz file to a .tar
Unpack the tar file to a folder containing the image
Stage 6 - Flashing via Mi Flash
Run the Mi Flash tool, that is now installed on the PC.
1. Locate the unzipped global images folder using the Browse button (where the batch files are located)
2. Select Refresh, which should pick up the device.
3. Select "Flash all" as the flash option
4. Hit the Flash button.
Once complete, remove the cable, power down and reboot.
If flash fails
While the procedure worked perfectly for me, if for any reason the flash failed and you need to re-enter EDL mode without being able to boot, you can do the following:
1. Enter Fastboot mode through Power & Volume Down
2. Type the following fastboot commands
fastboot devices (to ensure the phone is connected)
fastboot oem edl
The above should return you to EDL mode.
