Hi XDA,
I want to ask about thread forum for Mi 8 EE (Explorer Edition - codename: ursa) why not available in XDA? I just see only Mi 8 (codename: dipper) and Mi 8 SE (codename: sirius) thread forum...
I hope mod/admin will make new forum thread for Mi 8 EE (codename: ursa) user. Thank you. I'm sorry if this wrong place for posting.
Warm Regards,
Niko F.

It would also be great if ROMs were multi Mi8 Flashable. The hardware in my Mi 8 Pro (codename: equuleus) is the same as the ursa, just without the 3d Face unlock - so ursa ROMs work great on the equuleus - however dipper ROMS are lacking the drivers for camera, in-screen fingerprint sensor, speakers which are visibly different on the ursa and equuleus.
By cooking all of the required elements and having an aroms installer or some clever scripting, it would be possible to have one ROM flashable on multiple Mi 8 devices.
Maybe that is th reason that there is only one thread (as well as the rareity of the Mi 8 EE (at the moment) not to mention the Mi 8 Pro (equuleus) which was released in China a few days ago.

That's a good question. All I can say is that my fingerprint sensor did not work when I flashed mi8 ROMS but it does work when I flashed EE ROMS. My understanding is that the only difference is the 3D face unlock missing.

I bought my Mi 8 Pro on the day of release in Beijing. The sale started at 10:00 and there were 2 units left when I bought mine at 10:20. When I arrived back home, I started the unlock process and realised that I would have to wait 720 hours as well. SO, I contacted the driver in Beijing who took me to the great wall and to the XIaomi store on my last day there - He was also a Xiaomi fans and only had Mi phones for the past few years. He kindly sent me his Mi ID and password, and all of the SMS verification codes he received, and bingo... I managed to unlock the bootloader of my Mi 8 Pro instantly!
Surprised that someone in China has not clocked on to this to sell this as a service. Try contacting someone from your seller (Aliexpress, small sellers more likely to help out) if they would not mind creating a Mi Account for you to unlock the bootloader - It may save you some waiting. Verified accoiunts in China can unlock instantly.

Hello Friends,
