Hi, I have a Note 4 Global (4GB/64GB), before I switch from Global Dev I've got a few security questions about xiaomi.eu.
1) Is the device still locked to my account even if factory reset? Like it would be with an Offical Global rom.
2) Does the unlocked bootloader make me more vulnerable?
3)...
This is my Note 4 Global (SD) on Global Dev (Android Nougat), slightly slower than yours, I'm encrypted though, not sure if that slows it down.
I decrypted my phone, speeds are about the same.
They asked if it used the Redmi 3 rom, I said look on the download page and you'll find out. Your post confirms what I said, the download page says that the code for the 3S is land, not IDO, so I was right, the answer they needed was there.
Anything for the 3S 32GB from Ibuygou yet? Price was $177 then jumped to ~$195. Hoping it will hit ~$160 like the 3Pro soon, the 3S is the same phone just with a slower (cheaper) CPU and newer android version.
New Android version = new Android API. New apps require new API's, the newer the better for long term support.

Within reason, I've been stung in the past so I now have a policy of never buying a phone if it's not running the latest Android version at the time of release/when I purchase.
Great thank you. Also, does encryption work, how does that work with updating from TWRP.
All I need now is confirmation that MIUI8 on the Redmi 3 Pro is based on Android Marshmallow and I'm going to order. Hopefully we'll know when the beta is released in a week or two!
Does MIUI adhere to the standard Android Fingerprint security. I mean that on android, when you first power on the phone (or reboot), the first unlock each time must be with your password/passcode/pattern before the fingerprint will work.
Does MIUI require this, hopefully it does as it's a big...
If V7.2.7.0 works why don't you flash the Xiaomi.EU version of that instead of the really old one you tried.

See I'm not even bothered about the fingerprint scanner, so as long as it can see the ram and storage that's enough for me! I just don't know if that is hard coded in a rom or it detects it automatically.
