Mine arrived unlocked (for testing purposes), and I fiddled a bit with it, but the magisk manager didn't work, had to reflash a soft brick

Still no custom recovery available, right?

I got 72 hours, but I suspect that my account status had something to do with it.

Exactly that, it's a bug that has been seen on MIUI 12 a lot, no biggie, but it gets the users quite riled up as they assume they're missing on an update.

Typing that on my X3, and so far really impressed (especially since it was a prize from a comp). The unlock is straightforward, just got to be lucky on the "lottery" on the waiting time. Loads of bloat, but all removable, and the thing flies.

Glad to say I'm now on the MIUI 12 EU beta, and it still works like a charm, the second format is really the charm :D

Yeah, possibly that, no clue. Don't get me wrong, it's not a biggie, as I always have an OTG mouse setup just in case that kind of stuff happens, just weird. On the whole that phone is a bit of an odd duck, not sure I'm going to stick to it, too much inconsistencies, both hardware and software.

Though NOW the issue is that the recovery (either TWRP or Orange Fox) won't work with touch, which is a bit of a pain.

Thanks for taking the time to order it, good job :D

Have at it with my blessing, at the moment I'm super swamped with Xiaomi comm stuff, and I get a bit obsessive about making threads JUST RIGHT :p

I know, was thinking exactly the same. It can't be a case of encryption, that's long gone, or security, but for some very weird reason that worked when a dozen more established ways failed miserably. Ah well, sometimes I'll just take the whole ''my phone isn't a brick'' over understanding why

steff_1964 r0n8 Saw that you Steff had solved it, just in case for others stuck in there, here is a walkthrough I found on an old post (it was for the note 5 :P ) on miui eu forums, from the user Danmue : put your (mi note 10) into fastboot mode - open command prompt in your fastboot folder -...

Exactly the same issue, and tried all the usual. And now can;t even use the xiaomiflash as it does the usual 1 second flash trick (probably because it's not seen by ADB)

Thank you very much, one of my main issues with the old lem was the client to link it to my main phone drove me crazy, and I swore off buying smartwatches that ran android themselves compared to wear or proprietary clients. Might take a punt on this then :)

Hi guys, At the moment, I'm on a Honor 10, which I love, BUT the small (for me at least) screen is driving me bonkers, and really would like to get a second phone for when I'm in a suit (and therefore not limited size-wise). I picked the 10 for a few reasons,after all it IS the best mid-ranger...
