[Q] is my phone real? - Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought an used mi3w from an online store.
I checked the imei to know if it's real.And as the imei I have a decent Mi3w.
But coming home I installed cpu z and it shows that my phone have a Snapdragon 801!
I asked at the miui forum and they said I have a fake phone.
Then I did reset,ran benchmark and everything shows that I have an Mi3.
Now can anyone confirm that if is it an bug of the app or not?

Your phone is genuine. It always shows it like that.

Hey Henry,
I guess that's the problem with the CPU Z app. There's been some incorrect information in the app. Check my mi3ws info.

Oh I see. So basically mi3w has 801 with 3g. I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing the info.

Buy always from Xiaomi authorized online store and have peace of mind. Never go for other online sites. Unchecked products from dealers are sold and chances you may end up with fake MI3 which do exist.

First wrong section
Second if you have invalid imei get your money back
Changing imei its ilegal and we don't discus about such things here...

Sorry dude, it's obviously a dodgy handset, return it, or claim as a dud purchase. You can't restore imei's legally without operator agreement.

shut up idiot
My N7100 comes up as K770 Cybershot on one database and on another it comes up as an N7100. It could be an error in the database you are looking at. Is your imei when you dial *#06# the same that is listed on label underneath the battery? If not I would try to get your money back. If they are the same contact Samsung Tech support and see if they say it is correct. Now if your imei was changed but it still works on the carrier, don't worry about, you have already been screwed so just make the best of it. If the carrier catches on, they will just turn service off on the phone. It's not worth the effort for any phone company or government agency to pursue legal action for one phone.
As for Dudley Do Right, chill out. He mentioned that his imei was possibly changed, not asking how to change it or explaining how to change it.

Bootloader unlock discussion for Galaxy S6 Edge Device

So, according to drakon.us, Samsung has provided factory bootloader unlocker in the Samsung App store.
Search for "CROM Service", You can see the process here:

I'm in preorder hell waiting for my gold S6E from Verizon so I can't verify independently. Is this something we can use?

I'd be interested to see if we could get our hands on that app. I've got some friends from Taiwan and Mainland that I could reach out to... Maybe one of them can grab it for us. Anyway, hope I'm not posting **** information here; definitely not my intent. What we do know however, that there is a factory unlocker out there. Whether it can work with our region is an unknown but, it might be worth a look.
I don't have much faith in the Verizon varient getting root. Going to take some getting used to cuz I've come from rooted phones since I entered the smartphone world.

This is definitely good info. I might try and get on chat with Samsung to see if they'd have a download link...probably a long shot, but worth it.
I won't hold my breath, but I'm interested in hearing how this goes as well. The lack of root on the Note 4 after being out since last year is keeping me from swapping out my s5 for a s6 edge.
This would be great, but alas I am sure Verizon has made steps to ensure that it wont be that easy for us!

Call tapping !!!

Hello guys !
This is a serious matter for me and i want a fact related (maybe) answer. I want to know if there is any way to stop call tapping on note 5. Or if there is a device that cannot be tapped.
Thank you
Try getting a Blackphone. Just do a Google search for it. The latest one actually looks pretty decent.

Instead of buying the blackphone or blackphone 2 you could download the maker's (silent cirlce) app "silent phone". it let's you make encrypted calls and texts. And if you wanted to be really cautious install the TOR software "Orbot". If your note 5 is rooted you can set ALL traffic to go over the TOR network.

Overclocking Xiaomi mi5

I'm thinking of buying the 32gb model but I would like the 2.15GHz of the 64gb model.. Taking into account that both processors are exactly the same model as there are no 820 variants, do you think we will be able to overclock the device in a future with custom kernels?
