How come that these devices are still Uncertified on Google Play Store?

These devices are getting third or forth iteration of ROM but they are still Store Uncertified, how is this possible?!

Will Xiaomi ever get certification for these devices or things are stay forever like this, no certification and that's it?!

I mean, this is not life important to me but it's strange, at least from my point of view.

Thank You in advance on reading and possible answer!

xioami phones get certified, your own is uncertified because you unlock bootloader

People unlock bootloaders, flash custom roms and mods, then come here blaiming xiaomi lol.
I didn't flashed custom ROM, i don't have any kind of mods, i didn't make unroot or anything like that, that's first!

Second, yes I have unlocked bootloader but this was necessity because phone i have bought was came with Chinese ROM.

I bought this phone on Honorbuy store, so I hope that this seller is enough respected and legit?!

Now, if this Google Play Store uncertification is caused by unlocked bootloader than this is easily solved :)

And finally, if this is community in which man can't ask something like this and to be immediately crucified, than it's something very wrong here! I didn't ask how to plug in USB 2 cable in USB 3 port or some stupidity like this, i have ask legitimate question which is more complicated and OS related so this is little more complicated and cause can be this or that...

And yes, i don't blame Xiaomi, namely I was hoping that before blaming Xiaomi man must search for all possible solutions and if then error is present, then it's time to blame xiaomi or anyone in line.

Thank You all who have find time and will to clarify this "problem i have!

Thank You on screenshots, this is ultimate corpus delicti!

Thank You!

No one crucified you, just point out that you were wrong. You claimed that "these" devices are not certified, and then continued rant how many updates were published and they are still uncertified. This is completely false, brand new device out of box with no modification is certified.

OK! Understood, my Fuhrer!

I still don't understand why you are so quick toward personal criticism? You feel smarter, more important, what?! You have stock's from Xiaomi, You are their lawyer?!

I apologized in some way, on my part, and this still isn't enough?!

Now I'm "ranting"?!

And yes, You even didn't bother to mention anything constructive, just that i have claimed that these devices are not certified and that i'm ranting.

I just can say that I apologize for daring to ask any kind of question.

Good Lord!!!

Hey there again. Be cool man.
If you are rooted, download and install Preferences Manager from playstore. Grant root and find Google Playstore from the app and search for "device.google-certified" and set to true.

Yes..... Your Opening Post Was Ranting ( A Little ).. And Crucifing Xiaomi.. :cool:
Google is "Tightening" things up with all the corruption going on in the Cyberworld these days..
They want only Certified devices.. because they simply are the Most Secure.

Do A Full Wipe.. install a Stock Recovery & Stock ROM ( 9.5.13.0 runs like silk.. ) and Welcome Back to the world of Secured Devices.. * Accepted Everywhere* :angel:

Some Xiaomi phones have a vendor rom, typically purchased from chinese websites to bypass the playstore ban in China. They will show up as uncertified I think. Or if you experiment with the beta rom, these are also uncertified.

Phone is on STOCK Global ROM!
In fact, i have downloaded ROM v9.5.14 and flashed on phone with adb sideload. so i even didn't use custom recovery for ROM flashing!
And yes, phone is Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI version, not Pro!

As was mentioned above, unlocked bootloader is enough to make you uncertified. If you unlock bootloader, you must also use magisk to be certified again.

OK. Great! Excellent! Super duper!
Is it possible to go with fastboot version of Global ROM, and use flash_all_lock.sh to achieve device store certification?
Thank's!

@Jehonan This is most likely due to the fingerprint line in build.prop, i experienced the same issue when i flashed the latest MIUI 10 and i fixed it by modifying that line, please try to attach build.prop and i will have a look!

No need to reflash whole rom
