Cheers ......I think people have took pity on me ....... They have looked at your response and sent me emails on how to change it. ...
To be honest answer yes without sharing or passing on a help link is not helpful .... ... Based on the emails from forum members it must be your usual response

Care to share the answer, anyone?

Currently there is not yet a way to change this with WP8 devices. On WP7 you were able to change this using CustomROMs or by flashing an unbranded Stock ROM. Given how new the devices are we haven't yet found ways to unlock them and flash CustomROMs. At least I don't know yet wether you can flash an unbranded ROM - with HTCs newer Android devices that was not possible but all WP7 devices were able to do that.
So in short: not yet but I guess we'll find out soon.

[Q] does installing new bootloader make sense?

My question may sound dumb at first, but, on second thought, it makes sense.
I find most of the developement ROMs are still on the old bootloader including CM10 and many others.
The new bootloader was taken up by Stefan and one other ROM only. I thought that the new bootloader would be the direction taken by LG in its latest yet to be released ICS, and have adopted it. But now with Stefan has stopped his rom support on XDA, I am wondering if I should switch back or wait a few weeks for ROM developers.
I am seriously looking for the intuition from seniors at XDA on this issue, because even RC's CM10 is based off old bootloader / partition layout. (pls correct me if i am wrong).
thaks for your inouts.

What are the changes in the new bootloader in the first place? What are its advantages and disadvantages?

Question Updating from RKAEUVF

Hi guys, got my ultra few weeks ago...I've seen loads of updates to the 12.5 and I saw that European version has already a stable 12.5. my question is, as I'm on a RKAEUVF, did someone try to upgrade to the RKAEUXM? And if so, did you needed to unlock the bootloader or was it just a simple upgrade? Thanks guys

If you can`t wait, till the upgrade, you need to unlock the bootloader...
I`m in same situation...

Omg you are funny. Just unlock this bootlader and do it. Are you 5?

?? You ok man? He asked something, got an answer. After this answer (what you made) what you want? Really...
There is a a lot ot thread here, just read (if not too hard) than, every asnwer here, or on the xiaomi EU forum if not enough what you find here...
Without unlocking he can`t change the rom from **VF to **XM... But good luck, maybe you know better.

Thank you @Mr Reese. Even though I could unlock the bootloader, some people can't understand that the reason I don't so it is because my bank is an online bank without an actual website. If I can't have the app working, I simply can't access my account. Ive been using custom ROMs for over a decade now, I know the pros and the cons, and unfortunately the app security is quite good and blocks me out as soon as I have an unlocked bootloader. I had the same issue with the beta version of Android on my pixel. So I rather not put myself through that work. Hence the question.

Question No custom roms?

Hello guys! I have been eyeing this device for a while now but why is there no support for custom roms at all? Even TWRP there is none? I was wonding there might be an official answer on this or we're just waiting on something? Or has everyone just legit gave up on this device?

Ok sorry please ignore. It has been answered here already. Thank you!
