Baba if these your items ever arrives please don't ever use those particular shipping methods because they are unregistered. This means that you Can't know when they'll enter Nigeria because tracking wont be available after they leave china and nipost wont keep you posted if it arrives since they dont log tracking details for unregistered items on their site. This was a tip given to me by the postman here in Sokoto after I've been bitten more than once.
Just stick to only registered shipping methods and pray they come through.
My 2cents.

Exactly. Don't ever use an unregistered mail when placing your orders to save yourself heart/head ache. You just have to hope and pray your goods come through and even if they do prepare for a loooooooooooong wait. Even if am buying something of $4,i dey ready to part with $3 for its shipping but won't do if the shipping fee is far higher than what am buying though(na to look for similar product from another store)

I got am alert from my aliexpress app that my phone has arrived on Friday, but I couldn't collect it that day.
I Saturday I got an alert that my flip cover has arrived and this morning I got an alert that the casing has arrived.
I went to the post office today to collect it and I was told to go until I got a call. immediately I got to my gate I got a call from them to come and collect my package.
I had to transport my self there again to collect the item. when I go there the only items there were the two casings only. the phone itself was not there.
they said that the phone was not with them.
when I checked with 17track, this is what just got.

what could be the problem ?

I'm really worried.

It normally depends on post office and location..I think they normally update the website from nipost HQ so d tracking may not be accurate at times ,but is either ur order is still on the way to Owerri or its still under processing @owerri post office .just calm down sir, U should collect it the second day.

If ure sure you downloaded the original stuff, navigate to ur phone settings > additional settings> privacy > activate unknown sources.
That should solve the problem..

There is no issue with your order.. you can see they shipped out the orders... Those methods states their standard shipping time... Has it exceeded?

If you are not using AES FedEx, DHL... Don't except to get the order in 3 weeks

All you need is patience....

You can try to download to PC first.. send to your internal storage...
Then open the updater, from Tools folder.
Click the menu of the 3 dot at the top right
Choose packages , select the download file...Zip file

Ensure you're connectedto Wi-fi to update... It will start downloading but.. don't worry it won't download anything it will just verify your downloaded ROM since the ROM are hashed.. security purpose..

Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by GrandMufti: 11:03am On Jan 17, 2017

Yes, Global official Rom

probably a corrupted file. check a folder called MIUI, the update should be inside. click on it. if it doesn't install, you'll probably have to re-download it.
