The official way to unlock the bootloader has the advantage of being safe, simple and fast. To make this as easy as possible, we recommend downloading Rome directly to your device, as it allows you to flash instantly. This step is optional and should not be performed by anyone. But if you want all apps, settings and app locations to return after flashing, you can create a local backup.

Look in detail before because it often happens that you no longer need all applications. Then you can restore the backup in all your details using the same option by clicking "Restore". It is not easy, but according to the instructions, it is not a problem. We do not give a guarantee on our instructions, however, it is daily in use with us and is extensively tested. This helps to avoid problems later. ... Remember, you can only unlock one device every 30 days.

An overview with a little background, how difficult it is in the world of shopping, when there are only restrictions around. I really wanted to take Xiaomi Mi5 for personal use, such prices were good for it. But because of the wild duties in Belarus from 22 euros, even themselves good prices become simply barbaric, and the customs will evaluate the smartphone itself, although they must be asked to provide either an account statement or a screen with a price. At first I ran into this more than once, and all the disputes simply lead nowhere.

Checking bootloader status

Of course, if you don't know what else to do, we will be happy to help. It is a simple and easy to install process, this method helps us to revitalize our Cell Phones dead or brick. This method works on locked and unlocked devices.

We recommend that you back up your files before following this process. Follow and read carefully the steps we point out, it should be noted that you can help with the images. Installed driver should appear, but if it isn't installed, don't worry. We must highly recommend it manually.

I began to use the services of an intermediary, where the delivery of a smartphone costs about $ 5, which is just a mere penny compared to the fee. And with a limit of 1000 euros, I stopped bothering altogether, though I don’t order small things through them, I send relatives to everyone.

But the essence of the story is not actually this, since there is no possibility to order Xiaomi Mi5 through Russia, I thought I might at least order Xiaomi Mi5s. But all the options were without delivery to Russia. I mean the Gearbest store, as this is where the best deals for the price were.

To do this, you need to select a device and update the driver. Here you should find the folder with the driver you downloaded originally. We will have the driver installed, so the computer will recognize our device. Just remember that the phone needs to be with a good battery so it doesn't turn off halfway through the process.

As soon as our computer recognizes our mobile phone, we should do the following. But always download the official and global rum that is in Spanish. You will find many bugs that will be corrected by official version... This version offers more memory and storage space.

Having spat on my desire to order Xiaomi Mi5s, and took Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X, it is also not a bad option, but I wanted a smartphone with a better camera. And in the Note 4X, the camera is so-so. So further in the review we will focus on the Note 4X and the set of accessories for it, I will not touch on technical issues. for me it has already been done a hundred times. Unless, you can add instructions for smartphone firmware to custom firmware. because Xiaomi smartphones I'm more than happy with it, but MIUI firmware I don't like it. There are more than enough custom options for this smartphone.

Package. Appearance. Ergonomics.

I took it in black, unfortunately, at that time they offered version 3/32 at a good price, although now 64 gb memory is more relevant, because of the combined tray, since I don’t want to donate a SIM card because of memory, but make sandwiches do not want.

The packaging is unpretentious, which is not surprising already for Xiaomi. Only 4X is highlighted

Smartphone on both sides, wrapped in film.

The package bundle is standard for all smartphones of this manufacturer in the budget segment. The truth is, I really want the chargers to be made for us normal without all these nasty adapters. Although I am already beginning to grow overgrown with extension cords from xiaomi, the third is on the way.

All buttons and sensors are in their usual places, new ones have not been added :) Look at the pictures.

After I took a picture and started writing a review, I noticed that some flies helped me in this, it turned out nicely.

All connectors are in their usual places, as well as an infrared sensor for controlling equipment. For the sake of interest I used it a couple of times, but from my own remote control is more familiar. This is if you indulge somewhere :) There are holes on both sides for the speakers, but the speaker is only on one side, the rest of the holes are made for symmetry.

The smartphone lies in the hand like a native one, you can feel the chill from the metal. Before that, I had to hold the smartphone in gray, but it definitely looks better in black, but collects fingerprints, although not much.

Smartphone protection

Bumper Nillkin
It is possible and even convenient to drag a smartphone without a bumper and glass, but there is a habit of changing smartphones for oneself quite often. And so that it can then be without problems, then I try to protect it from scratches, the presentation must be protected. I decided to take several pieces at once, as a reserve. The first is Nillkin, the bumper is convenient, but like any bumper makes the smartphone more massive, but in this case, within reason. Took

Bumper Luanke
The second bumper is rubber, cheaper, but that doesn't make it bad. The manufacturer is announced by Luanke, I have not even heard of it before. The smartphone feels great in it, does not slip, and sat down perfectly. It's even difficult to say which one I liked more, I will carry it in turns and test it in real conditions. Took

Thermo bumper

And in addition to everything, I decided to take another bumper, it became just interesting. You can leave a print of your palm or fingers on it. It acts not on the warmth of the hands, as it might seem initially, but on the pressure. I pressed my fingers down harder and you're done. After that, the color begins to recover, but somehow not evenly. In short, a strange bumper, the material is also not clear, but definitely not rubber. And most likely made of different materials and compressed. Took

Safety glass

And of course, when selling a smartphone in the future, you need to protect the screen from scratches, and this screen is scratched quite well, as I have seen with other Note 4X users. But it is difficult to find glass on such a screen so that it completely covers the entire screen, I first took a simple glass. Took

We can say that the smartphone has protected from the soul, there are definitely enough bumpers, but the glass can be looked for more interesting.

Checking bootloader status

Moving on, in order to install custom firmware, we first need an unlocked bootloader. In my case, it is already unlocked, and this has already saved me time. I don't know how from other online stores, but gearbest comes with smartphones with unlocked bootloaders.

Here's a quick guide on how to check the status of your bootloader. All drivers must of course be installed, you can download it here

1. Download the Platform-tools program (adb / fastboot) here is the link -
2. load into fastboot mode, hold down the on and volume buttons -, and wait for the picture with the xiaomist hare to appear, about connect it to the computer
3. Open the folder with adb / fastboot, hold down Shift and by pressing the right mouse button, select open the command window
4. In the console window, type the command:
fastboot devices and press enter
5. then we write the fastboot oem device-info command and press inter again

Two such lines should appear at the end

Decoding

Device unlocked: true - bootloader unlocked
Device unlocked: false - the bootloader is locked

If your bootloader is blocked, then you should go to this one. Since I will not touch on it.

Now, if it is not clearly described, you can see

Installing TWRP Recovery

Let me remind you that you do everything at your own peril and risk, I just described all the actions that I did with the smartphone and it remained alive. The main thing in this matter is just be careful.

There are many ways and instructions on the network, I will describe how it seems to me the simplest.

It seems to me the easiest way to flash through fastboot if the bootloader is unlocked. And of course the necessary drivers are already installed.

1. Download Platform-tools (adb / fastboot) if you don't already have one on your computer.
2. Download the archive with the firmware (a version for fastboot is required) and unpack it into a folder with adb files

3. switch to fastboot mode (power buttons and volume minus, waiting for the picture with a hare to appear). Connect smart to PC

4. In the folder with the adb / fastboot files, run flash_all.bat, and wait patiently, after the firmware the program window will close by itself and the smartphone will turn on. The first activation will be quite long, be patient and do not panic. Next, we make the initial settings and use it for health.

Basic screenshots of the interface

I didn't really notice any big differences from the previous MIUI, if there are changes, they are not significant. But at first glance, I may be wrong. I will make tests, there may be an increase in performance.

The main tests exactly done on MIUI 9

On MIUI 9, tests showed the best result, but not much.

Summing up the smartphone

The smartphone is good in any case, there should be no problems with the choice of firmware, as is the case with other Chinese manufacturers who hamper their software. Even a demanding user will be able to find a firmware for himself, I showed by example how to do this. On the w3bsit3-dns.com forum, there are a lot of tips and instructions, I'm in this review only showed how I did it all, and the smartphone remained alive after all the manipulations. To kill a smartphone, you need to be very careful. Make snipes before all your actions, so that you can later roll back if everything goes wrong. Good luck to all.
