Bought mine from local reseller here last August pa after they launched it in China with installed orig china version but upgraded already since day 1. Arrested the China version issue with the new global version thru Mi subforums download and intructions. Work fine for me now using Miui7 version. Try it. As simple as cut paste then reboot.
Just root then install custom recovery, pwede ma na malaman pwedeng mga tanggalin trial n error nga lng kc walang guide n mahanap. I’ll buy one also from an intl legit site.
my unit was from china, so daming unwanted apps na di maintindihan… i was hoping to find a guide how to at least localized it. also, im having a hard time now installing google play service. hope somebody can help.
you should wait for the global version or at least the ph version of the rom.. how much and where did you bought it btw??
Install the new global version from xiaomi website. Check on the available download then follow the instructions posted in subforums. Just make sure to get the right download for your unit model. Hth.
no screen protection? will this work for our networks?
Wag kayo bibili nito. Galing pala to sa PDAF. (see image) LOL
First redmi note never reached PH. I have almost zero trust this will reach our country
