SIM Setting Issues after Flashing New Xiaomi.eu ROMs

[mahst68]

Trying to figure this one out and maybe just something small I'm doing.

If I flash anything higher than the 11.0.12 release of stable from xiaomi.eu, my sim card settings seem to not work right. I have dual SIM. TMobile and redpocket. On 11.0.12, I can get 5G on TMobile and 4G on redpocket. Past that, it switches to only getting 4G on TMobile and H+ on redpocket. Am I doing something wrong or did they change something. So confusing...

Any help is appreciated

I mean there's some battery saving thing to turn 5g off, I have never seen 5g on my phone although my sim is enabled and some places I go have 5g, could of turned it off with the lockdown, I'm using EU ROM

did you figured it out？i installed eu but no 5g

 

[mahst68]

No I didnt. Even more disturbing is that the newer ROMs also seem to take away an additional band of connectivity with TMobile rather than the base China rom. I would of considered keeping my Mi 10 pro if I could rom without this issue, but losing this connectivity is making me get a different phone. Really stinks

LMAO,

Simply flash the modem from your firmware and the issue is resolved. Easy!

Different roms from different regions use different modems with less or additional bands. Flash the modem from the rom that works. I would recommend using LR Team or orangefox recovery.

I thought about that and will try it if I decide to keep the phone... I'm probably going back to the Find X2 Pro... I got the Thailand version coming soon... I'll probably just relock the bootloader on this phone. The Find X2 Pro has way more capatibiilty in North America. The Thailand version has global rom and dual sim.... Where as EU is single sim....
I like that I can rom on this phone but I'm getting too old for it. Hahaha. Just want the best phone for the money. This phone is great and is probably the better value over the Find X2 Pro but the lost of bands especially not working with Verizon MVNOs stinks.

I also live in the US, I agree that you should sell it soon while, it is still highly sought after.

I was within an inch of buying a Mi 10 Pro myself, I have been wanting to upgrade from my current Mi8. Fortunately, I found that the Mi10 and Mi 10 pro are lacking too many bands for the US before I processed the order based on inaccurate info.

As of right now, Xiaomi doesn't seem to care about gaining or maintaining loyal customers in the US or any country in North America, for that matter. If they did they would releases phones with more than 3 compatible bands for AT&T and TMobile. Without a doubt I agree that you are better off with an Find X2 Pro or a One Plus. - Note how those phones have every single band, for every country!

To be clear, there are many things that I love about Miui, but Xiaomi phones offer less bands with every release, and the last phones that had more than 3 bands for the US was in 2018 with the Mix 3, and Xiaomi Mi 8, the Mi9 was released with only 4 compatible bands. To go on, the Mix 3 5G has received no updates in a very long time.

While, I suppose that you could get by with 3 bands, you will not have a signal in some areas. and here is some additional info that for me is just another nail in the Xiaomi coffin. Historically, Xiaomi has supported their phones for 3 to 5 years ( like Apple)

However, last week Xiaomi management decides to stop supporting all phones with SD 845 processors, starting in September! These phones are currently only 2 and a half years old. Here is a source I have no idea why they are shooting themselves in the foot with these bad decisions, but if they go down in flames another company will rise and take their place. Finally, I am sure that you have seen the news about the recent security issues with browser tracking even while using incognito mode

Hopefully they get their act together.

Good Luck.

Do you know the steps on how to flash ch modem to eu rom ?

 

[mahst68]

Do you know the steps on how to flash ch modem to eu rom ?

It's been awhile but I think there's 2 possibilities

I pretty sure that you could just put the modem file from the China rom into a file like modem.zip and flash with TWRP... It's been a moment and I might be wrong on that. You could also replace the modem file in the EU rom zip file and flash as well

cant seem to find modem file :/

 

[tsongming]

You can just dirty flash the latest global firmware for your device ( if it's a global device) Download it from the Yshalsager firmware website. It includes the modem and radio drivers.

https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/. FYI the site also includes Chinese and Russian firmware.

Always create a TWRP backup and copy it to a secondary location before doing these kinds of things. ( USB or desktop) Just in case. However, I do this type of stuff all the time without issue. We have 4 Xiaomi phones in my house.

 

[tsongming]

FYI, you will only find the modem file in fastboot "images" roms.

i have the fastboot rom but cant find "modem"

 

[tsongming]

i have the fastboot rom but cant find "modem"

As I mentioned It must be an "images" fastboot rom. FYI: These roms are the same roms that you also use should should you ever have a brick...nothing else will work to unbrick a phone. So be sure to keep it and also be sure to make a full TWRP backup and keep it on your desktop so you will have a way back if something terrible ever happens to you such as losing sensors, IMEI, persist etc.

For example, see my screenshot

I dont even own a Mi 10. Nonetheless I found the official link for to help you out. > Clicking thanks would be appreciated.

Thanks but I'm on ch cmi I decided to stay with ch Ron for now thanks for your help

Just so you know: You can extract the files individually and flash them.

Plus firmware flashing doesn't affect the system installation because the firmware lives on it's own partitions . FYI: Generally Android phones have on average around 20 or more partitions depending on the phone and the OS is on its own partition.

These image ROMs are hard to find so I would strongly suggest that you look for, the native images Rom specific to your devices.

If you can't find it on the Mi-Community website, try use Chrome with Google translate and switch Mi-Community's region to China, then you should be able to find it. You can also find links in telegram. But personally I don't trust firmware from 3 party sites. Especially Chinese 3rd party sites that often add additional adware.

Also, if you weren't aware be very careful about using Mi flash and accidentally locking your bootloader.


Enjoy your phone: I had planned on buying one myself but it lacks way too many bands for North America to justify the expense. Hopefully Xiaomi actually builds the rumored upcoming Mix 4. The Mix series usually have every band.

Which bands do you use ? Only band I'm missing is 66,71 for t mobile and of course t mobile 5g but I guess I can use n41 band for nsa 5g?
