Is it the 1.8 ghz? And where did you buy it? I really want the 2.15 ghz in gold or black.
But cant find anyone that got it in stock.
Thanks

You get the pro version only in black. Which is the ceramic version. And it isn't available yet. They will be soon. (Those who have it have a code, that they used to get it early)
Also I found this thread.
Maybe it is useful for some.
Go ahead check it out

Right now only the 32GB / 64 GB in white / silver is sold.
I got the 32GB... and that was hard to get.
If you want any color but silver / white, then prepare yourself to wait at least a month.

Yes it's easy and takes less than 5 minutes, if your MI Account is allowed to unlock.
One MI Account can unlock, one phone within 30 days.

I had my rmn3 unlocked within this month so it was easy to unlock mi 5. It hasn't been 30 days since that, I didn't have to re-apply for another unlock permission.

Yes the 32GB Version has only 1.8Ghz at max for the SD 820!
The 64GB and 128GB models have the full SD 820 with 2.16 Ghz max.

The link You shared doesnt say anything about unlocking the Bootloader... So is this method of directly flashing SuperSU without Unlocking the Bootloader enough to root Mi5???

How did you found your encryption password to allow twrp reading all partitions? I'm rooted because the dev ROM give root by default (just enable it in the security center)
But when I flash the twrp 3.0.0.2 I can't find my encryption password... Tried my lockscreen password but didn't work. Any ideas?
Thanks bro

No you don't need. Just update your phone through the miui update app to this version, it will erase all your data.. Then in the security center, you can enable root
But the only twrp recovery working to flash something is "maybe" because I'm trying right now... Working with the Stable Global ROM 7.2.7.2

I tried to update to the developer rom but got the warning saying you are upgrading to an old version. Please suggest me is the developer version new or old.
Also, do you have any link for global version for MI 5. I think none has been released yet.

I don't think so. There's not been an OTA for that. That would be the only way, to sideload an OTA that was specifically meant for that build combination. Your bootloader would need to be unlocked to flash the factory image.

Well, you can install some themed apks from Team BlackOut, @cerj, @Archangel, and a few other themers, but there is little else on these forums to which you can avail without taking that first step.
I don't question your decision, as that is rightly yours or your employer's, yet one cannot change the reality of things...this entire process begins with unlocking the bootloader.
There are bounty threads in the Samsung forums for AT&T, Verizon, and other networks, all to attain that first step. You have a device wherein the ability to unlock is painless, and to attain your objective, it's a must.
Either unlock and flash the build you want, or keep it locked and do not get the build, there it no middle ground.

fastbootsideload??? Do you even Nexus?
In all seriousness, go to the general forum and read the beginner's guide.

If you unlocked to upgrade 5.1, you can always re-lock the bootloader once done.
In fact, that's exactly what I did after unlocking and using fastboot to upgrade from 5.1 "D" to "E" - partly to test out the steps and also to get more familiar with the phone, commands, etc., the other aspect being some added security.
This is the process I followed (from info in the Beginner's and OTA threads), which also includes a link to Evolution_Freak's re-locking topic.
I'd recommend reading up on these things for the Nexus 6 - there's good info in these forums and it might expand your view of what is best for you to try.
(I am admittedly thinking of going unlocked, because OTAs are turning out to be carrier-controlled for this phone and unlocking/re-locking seems fraught with human error on my part)

The only way to change ROM without an official OTA is to unlock the boot loader. There is no official ota.

This is freaking awesome, been really waiting on this day. I am sitting here rooted and with TWRP installed, and that means that its only a matter of time before the ROMs start a comin'. Gonna make some back ups and then flash the stock rom from the T-Mobile Development thread and see how TWRP works, will post my results. Might not get it finished tonigh tho, my 4 year old is being relentless and not letting me play with MY toys.

Should I unlock the bootloader on my OnePlus3T in prep for potential custom ROM later?
Will unlocking the bootloader prevent OTA updates?
Honestly using CM14.1 on my OnePlus3 was a bug ridden nightmare recently.. I can't remember the last time I used a stable bug free release of CM on any device.. I'm thinking about just sticking to Oxygen OS but don't want to have to wipe the phone at a later date with a bootloader unlock..
Yeah, if you are going to be flashing roms and stuff you might as well unlock first since it wipes data.
Just did mine.
anyway to remove the flash warning screen on startup when bootloader is unlocked?

Could have been a fluke but my OTA update failed. I relocked, applied update, unlocked again. Each of these resets the settings an requires skipping through annoying welcome screens.

its the same as the OP3 and any nexus device... go into dev options, turn on the bootloader unlock option, turn on user debug, boot into fastboot, and use the fastboot commands etc etc

Best case: Yes
Most likely case: You'll have to wait a day or two until someone posts a link to a flashable zip on XDA. Check out this thread
Worst case: You'll have to re-lock, upgrade, then re-unlock

I just thought because you were using flashfire rather than twrp all I needed was root. But Im having a hard time getting acquainted with all the different variants for our phone.

Update soon. New approach so it shouldn't have a bootloop issue
So, couple months ago AT&T released an update (in January 2020) which I saw a significantly improved battery life by 25% I was planing to disable my updates for future updates because I really liked it! However, 2 weeks later one day i wake up and my phone forced a new update and the battery life got back to the same even worse that what it used to be before that first update! Now, I am looking to downgrade my update to (N950USQU7DTA3) to be specific. I cant seem to find the file. Is there a source to find it? Also, Its been years since I've done this. Is there a way you guys recommend doing it without causing any issues?
Thanks!
At&t does not post firmware. Just flash any US firmware it's all the same. It will provision to your At&t sim
