Installed this ROM

Using this guide.

Unfortunately due to our Xiaomi's being the special "Kate" variant and most ROM's being developed for the "Kenzo", we need to follow that guide.

Worked perfectly though.

I still can't get the bootloader on my note 4 unlocked. The unlock app keeps on failing at 50%

Thanks I've tried a number of solutions but I'll give this a try

so I was doing some research and came across this problem which seems to be quite common online.

After looking at my phone at the same area, I noticed that it is not perfectly flat. Does anyone else have a similar issue

Charger has arrived. Phone is about 2 days behind.



Before anyone says phone doesn't have quick charge 3.0... Once Radon kernel is flashed... It will.

Normal registered shipping. I ordered around 9 Jan. 92 is too long!

On the charger note, I think I'm going to get one of these:

Anyone heard anything about BlitzWolf? Do we have any local QC3.0 options? For R172, this is hard to beat...

I've been waiting for them to restock for a few weeks already..

Where did you track it to last? If you paid through PayPal it's time to claim I would think.

It's hard to find QC chargers locally that's why I resorted to importing. I've seen a few reviews on the blitswolf chargers. They seem to do the job.

Paid by credit card- the phone took 2 months to show up at JIMC- it's now left there and is down the road in CPT, but SARS hasn't released it yet. They haven't stopped it and requested paperwork, they just haven't got to the package yet... Apparently they have a huge pile to get through...

Standard /EMS shipping hasn't been worth it for me. I'll pay for a courier next time.

I thought it was a problem importing phones? Don't you need some sort of ICASA certificate?

My phone is at Durmail customs. I called them. Said nothing about that. Just that it'll be ready by Monday.

Will also pay next time. This was just a R2500 test to see how bad it really is. If you don't mind waiting I think it's fine. My covers and charger were here speedily all things considered.

Likewise- I've ordered the Mi Max- was a Black Friday deal! Hell, that's a while ago...

Cover was here within a month- it's sitting empty on my bookshelf

Ordered a car charger BT/FM transmitter combo too- also here within a month.

Those last items are from BangGood.

I'll use them again, but won't go near GeekBuying after what I've had to deal with for the phone.

Waiting 3 months is >10% of the usable life of the phone- better to pay more upfront for speedier shipping and get the full use of the thing.

Anyway, enough about me and my woes...

Enjoy the phone when you get yours!
