Found the EU rom!

Here you go! I take no responsibility if something bad happens. Flash at your own risk... Of course you need to be unlocked and rooted with TWRP recovery

You don't have to root to use Android pay with the EU Rom. If you look at the features in the post above yours you will see they include Google certified as part of the package.

once you have a unlocked bootloader, android pay will not run unless you have magisk

I was going to try this out today, but I'm getting the good old "10008 followed by some Chinese text" error when trying to bind my device in Developer Options in order to be able to unlock the bootloader. As far as I know, there is no working fix for that right now...

EDIT: One proposed solution is to connect to a Chinese VPN server and trying to bind it, but it hasn't worked for me (I've tried with four different Chinese servers).

 

[stu5797]

Yes there is. Download plexvpn in the play store and use the Shanghai server. You will get approved right away

Thanks! I think I ended up trying ten or so VPN apps, but I wish I had tried plexvpn earlier.
Although I apparently still need to wait 72 hours (or more like 62 hours) to be able to unlock.

 

[stu5797]

Glad I could help! I still need to wait 24 hours until I can unlock

Why do you have to wait, to unlock the device?
I didnt receive my device yet and it will be my first xiaomi device, thats why im asking

 

[stu5797]

It's hell to unlock this phone. After you jump through hoops to finally get the phone registered to be unlocked, xiaomi puts a mandatory 72 hour wait on the phone before it can actually be unlocked.

Not going to argue. All I'll say is that android pay works on my Mi 6 with unlocked bootloader, EU Rom but no magisk.

wow i didnt know that, but my Mi 5s with AOSP definitely needed Magisk

Can I just register and wait out the 72 hours (before I've received the phone) or do you need the phone to start this process?

+1 same question. ^^
My phone will arrive in round about 10 days, so is it possible to wait out the unlock time before I've received the phone?

 

[stu5797]

You should try and start the process without the phone. Once you get the text you will need the phone to register it. To register it use a VPN app like plexvpn to register the phone in developer options. Use the Shanghai location. Once registered you will need to wait the 72 hours.

72h are over for me. I will unlock and flash EU rom after work.
