Peterjosh:
Hi guys, my RN5 is behaving in a very funny way. I updated the android version to 9.0 on saturday. Today, I wanted to create space on my phone and I ignorantly deleted the folder android on my internal storage.
My phone started hanging. When I restarted it, my phone failed to pop and boot beyond the xiaomi logo. I then had to wipe all the data on the phone and restore to factory settings.
This again did not solve the problem. Please, techies, what can I do.

You deleted "android" folder
This is guaranteed, unrestricted access into brickland for sure. Flashing the android pie update again is the only remedy I see here

zainkay:
This one wey this pie update dey get issues anyhow, make person just chill till everything dey okay

The update didn't give me any issues. You should he fine if your device has not been fiddled with

1000angstroms:

Flash with the recent update you got before the problems cos some xiaomi devices will hard brick if you roll back your ROM.

Thank you... will do that

IKON360:

The update is very cool..na me cause my own problems...

genius43:


You shouldn't have deleted your android folder, the ripple effects is like deleting the windows folder or a kernel inside there. You should have better sacrificed some media files or you get an OTG Flash to keep some stuffs.

Hope the phone didn't brick. If it didn't try reflashing the ROM

How can I reflash the ROM..I am a complete noob

Kakashiii:


Won't it affect the quality of the photos?

No, according to the manufacturers.

Boschh:


Well, if you're in Awka, I'd have given you a free crib..

It's not late o , I might need it in the nearest future.

Please is it advisable to charge RN7 with power bank?

colorsofrainbow:

Hope it is not a generic powerbank, do well by posting the make and possibly pictures.

macbeyland:

Ouch, you are far away. Would have assisted you.

You're in PH right ? I might visit anytime next month , hope I can contact if I've still not gotten the update then?

Peterjosh:

I have not done that myself. Let me refer you to more experienced people like GrandMufti, Gptech, Adamix...

Since it updated successfully & was working until you mistakenly deleted the file, I'll suggest you download the MIUI 10.3.1 pie update manually & flash via fast boot

Ok

macbeyland:
I need us to clarify something.

Has anyone gotten glo 4g on redmi 7 or redmi note 7 Global version, in an area where there's only glo band 28?

Not at all.

An important tip for Newbies and seasoned Xiaomi users:

One of the important things you should do after you get your Xiaomi device is to Unlock the bootloader, especially when it is the Chinese Version flashed with Global rom.
Global version users too should endeavour to unlock if you have it in mind to tweak and mod in future.

An unlocked bootloader will save you a lot hassles if anything goes wrong during tweaking, modding and simple processes like OTA updates.

All you will need to do is to download the latest fastboot rom and flash through MiFlash whilst the phone is booted to fastboot mode. An interesting bit is that, an option "save user data" when chosen in MiFlash, will ensure the user data is untouched and available after the new setup.

The only negative to an unlocked bootloader that I can't personally attest to is that the device "might" be less secure after unlocking, at least that is what Xiaomi states when you request for unlock permission.
As for me, I am yet to experience any negative thing related to bootloader unlocking.

I want to try alibaba app for purchase. Hope am safe? Do we have people that has purchased item on alibaba mobile app before?

fibonacci2526:



Not at all.

It means the both the global version and Chinese version don't have band 28. I'm curious why many websites keep stating that the global version has band 28. I have personally tested it and didn't get glo 4g

IKON360:

Oga IKON I downloaded that one you posted, works well but when I want to view the picture taken it disappears and its not in my gallery or anywhere. What can be wrong?

I don't really understand d benefit of unlocking boatloader

1000angstroms:

I feel the bricking phones were the ones that were rooted, of course it means they have unlocked bootloader and other mods installed.
I locked my bootloader infact reflashed my redmi 6 pro with a fresh ROM when I tried all those XDA forum modding and wanted to run into problems.
If you want a stable xiaomi phone and hassle free OTA updatea, don't tamper with its bootloader via unlocking and all those modding stuffs such as rooting. I've been updating my phone via OTA and its being stable and functional cos I've left all those intricacies of modding.
I feel when one needs to start doing all those modding is when your phone is outdated and no more updated by xiaomi then you can update via custom ROM and all that.
My 2 cent opinion though and google will help alot of people who may find it necessary to go into tinkering with their phones but for me that my phone is still in xiaomi update programme I won't touch the bootloader. Am using a Chinese version too and they are very sensitive to being easily bricked if you make mistakes.

How can I get miui 10 on my redmi 6 pro?

Those on CN roms, can i get a link to working Google installer, or how to get playstore to work using mobile data? I'm stuck here, playstore just won't download on mobile data,
