Good news, this afternoon the service center phoned me and told that the phone is ready for pickup (it passed under warranty, they are giving me back my 25 euros of "insurance" in case it wasn't under warranty). We will see tomorrow if it's a new phone or what :D

Well, that's unfortunate. They sent back my original phone with a changed motherboard (IMEI was different, don't know it they changed battery)... With a lot of dust behind one camera. I refused the repair, they are going to ship it back to the service center.. another 2 weeks If not more, considering upcoming holidays in Italy. I can confirm that xiaomi assistance in Europe is really terrible

I was wondering.. if they replaced the mainboard (maybe also battery, idk) are we sure that it wasn't an issue caused by xiaomieu? Because I am worried that it will be the same story again if I try to root it and flash Xiaomi eu.. even though it seems unlikely, it died several hours after flash

Never seen that a Xiaomi Eu rom could destroy the motherboard.

Just curious, any update on this? How did it turn out for you?
Hi! I'm sorry, I totally forgot to update. The phone came back repaired but after a while I decided to return it to Amazon. There are numerous problems: short battery life compared to my mi10, heats up very quickly and throws overheating error every time. Also regarding 5g, it looses 5g network in idle sometimes and doesn't straight up connect to it when battery is 29% SOT or lower, unless the phone is plugged in. I've disabled 5g battery saving mode but no change..

I felt like it was a rushed phone. Adding this to the fact that stupid people (the only service center in Italy, as we were discussing in this tread sometimes ago) poked around inside the device, make the situation very questionable. Since the phone itself wasn't good (in design phase) and also it has gone through 2 times in service center in the first month, I didn't feel like keeping

Instead, I swapped battery in my mi10 and now it lasts almost double than mi 12 pro. So I'll change device later :)

Thank you for your help and interest in the matter!
