Redmi 4A Latest China Stable Version Fastboot File
Device: Xiaomi Redmi 4A from Gearbest
The phone was shipped with a reported "fake global rom". I managed to flash the Global Rom (unofficial by Xiaomi EU). Here's how I did it.
1. Download XiaoMiFlash tool
2. Download the Official China Stable Rom from Xiaomi
3. Extract the China Rom and change extracted .tar file's extension to .tz
3a. Extract the .tz file with 7zip
4. Open MiFlash tool, select the folder where you've just extracted the .tz file (named rolex_images_V8.1.2.0.MCCCNDI_20161125.0000.00_6.0_cn)
4a. Check the "clean all and lock" option in the lower right corner in MiFlash tool
5. Power off your device. Now press the 'power' button and 'volume up'
Does anyone have a copy of this file for the 4A please? It's no longer on the page with the other files. I got my new phone yesterday from Aliexpress, I suspect I have a fake ROM, can't unlock bootloader, the unlock page keeps displaying in Chinese once I've signed into my MI account. Don't know what else to do. Thank you.
