You can try this but there's no guarantiee it will work.
Probably depends on if it's locked from factory or locked by software.
Just go to a phone unlocking store and pay 20 euro to get it unlocked. I got the official Samsung unlock code for my mini today..delighted I am. A Phone unlocking store will have access to Samsung servers to sort you out.

Which site? please
unlocking
I paid 8 pounds on ebay 3 hours later had my unlock code
There is plenty ok UK sites that will sell you the unlock codes for any country s3 mini. Just yahoo it and find out. £15 or £20 is all it costs. I paid €20 from an irish site which had the same database as the UK ones.

Thanks for posting this.
I had a hard time getting this Vodafone.ie phone unlocked until I tried your suggestion. Movical provided me with a code in less than ten minutes for 12e.
The actual address is movical.net
:good: Had mine unlocked to using this thread. Thanks guys! :highfive:

Mi8 NFC or No NFC?

So, does the Xiaomi Mi8 from GearBest have NFC? Because I was this close to buying a Mi8 but then I've noticed that in the product page the specs didn't show NFC but there are other listings who show NFC in the specs!I need NFC in my daily life. Bus and train pass, college dorm acess and etc.
Mi8 GearBest this the one that I was going to get.
Mi8 GearBest this one in the Q&A page says it has NFC but it doesn't on the spec sheet
Mi8 GearBest this one has NFC in the specs sheet
The other listings don't even mention NFC
​
I don't get it.. Should I just get the version I want and it will come with NFC regardless or some versions have it and others don't? I'm really confused by this
Also, I'm in Portugal. Is there any difference in getting the Global, International or even the Chinese/English version of the phone (power brick, ROM, phone model)?
Thanks

no, you'll get google pay only when using a costum rom like xiaomi.eu that explicitly supports google pay.
I can confirm xiaomi.eu's google pay work perfect.

You can after unlocking the bootloader. Also keep in mind the Chinese version don't work on certain LTE bands in some parts of the world. I bought a Chinese one and the LTE didn't work on O2 network in UK. I had to return it and get the global Mi 9, hope this helps.

The shops selling the Chinese one should have the global one as well, also check online and ebay most of the sellers selling this phone on ebay are from China, they can send you a piece on a quick delivery, keep in mind global only comes with 6gb ram and has a global rom, in order to check go to settings..... about phone and look at MIUI version it should say global, mine is "global 10.2.1 stable", hope this helps

Question Xiaomi Devices stopped working in Syria

Greetings everyone ,
So apparently from the title Xiaomi Devices has stopped working in Syria starting this week ,
the devices suddenly got "locked" with a message declaring "this device is locked , Xiaomi policy doesn't allow this product in your country"
with only an option to connect to Wi-fi network ,
the devices that were reported were both India and International versions
any official announcement from Xiaomi regarding their new policy ?
also any chance to make these devices work again ? this issue will affect hundred thousands of people I will appreciate if someone can provide a solution
Thanks !
Xiaomi themselves haven't mentioned anything regarding this, but quoting an official retailer:
Xiaomi's new policy protects its products, as every product must be activated in the country it was intended to be sold in.
The solution, according to them, is return the phone to the retailer you bought it from, which they will reset, and then you need to use the phone with a SIM from that same country for at least 3 weeks
Given that I'm from Syria and considering the phone situation there, if you're importing a xiaomi phone, unlock the bootloader as soon as possible, preferably while in the country you bought it from, then solving this would be much easier.

Hi! Any chance you can share the link where you quoted that response from that official retailer? I am from Cuba, where Ximi phones already stopped working. Mine is protected tho, using a custom ROM, however, I would like to clarify myself a bit anyway. TIA
I bought a Xiaomi redmi note 10s, global versión, factory unlocked, in Amazon, United States. My intention is to use it in Cuba. Could I configure it in Unite States and then use it in Cuba with no problems? This is what I’ve been thinking, since I don’t want to modify the boot loader, just use the phone as a standard user.
Can Xiaomi detect my phone If I use a SIM card from Cuba?

The phones that are stopping are only the ones getting newly activated on those countries,
Activate the phone in the US using a US sim card for a couple of weeks then you should be good

Hello there a quick question:
Flashing a phone with locked bootloader with miflash will fix this or not? (at least temporarily)

Currently the only way to fix it is either return it to a mi service center and they'll reset it or take the phone apart and flash it with jtag

OH MY GOD, damn them.
Thanks a lot, Then I will unlock it immediately I have Poco F3 and mi unlock passed that 7 days unlock time 5 days ago I just wanted to know if I should unlock it or not.
P.s There havent been any report of this happening here in my country but I will install a custom rom just in case
Just bought one in iran with a pretty good discount, i wonder if i should enable the bootloader or not? Should i flash it with a custom rom or not? So far no phones here have been blocked but given the fact that we are already in the sanctioned countries club i dont think it would be long before that same hapens to us too

As far as I know there are no authorized sellers by Xiaomi in any of those countries, so if they want to block their phones they have to do it either on everyone or none at all. I think it might have happened on some few Chinese or European versions devices smuggled into those countries Or else we would have millions of users complaining it not just some rumors with one or two pics

Ebay doesn't let you refund by any chance?
I have no luck. It does not change.

You can try to get in touch with T-Mo support on Twitter to unlock it. Here's a thread about it. Seems they are actually quite helpful.

There are also some services online that will help you unlock your phone. You'll have to pay for it, but I'm not sure of the cost since I've never had to do it. Here's a link to one service, but you can probably go online and find others.
