sounds like one of those fucked up peepee the frog memes

or a gay child porn channel

six inch fucking phone

hooooooly

might as well have gotten mi max 2

Yeah but it was only $160 AUD, and I'm a poorboi

ah a fellow aussie

yeah have fun with anything shipping here in the next week or so

how much was mi5x??

6 inch, 2k display.
I could probably fix it since the only issue is the screen but I already had ordered the 5X and I don't want to drop $30 on getting an obscure part

uhhh $260 AUD

64GB ROM 4GB RAM

ouch

I paid $147 for my Redmi Note 4X 3GB/16GB

AUD

Yeah but I'm a slut for using internal memeory along with my 64GB SD card.

ah

I just got a 64GB mSD and threw all my moosic and movies on it

movies, music, podcasts and a few games for emulation. my family is fond of road trips and it gets fairly boring/irritating; a bluetooth controller and Final Fantasy 7 make it a hundred times easier.

any reason why you didnt go for the A1?

The A1 64GB model was $320 and has an issue with the 3.5mm jack

oh okay

And since I was blissfully unaware of this clusterfuck of a situation I thought I could just install the A1 port to recieve an equal or greater end result

is the 5x completely identical in hardware ?

yup, except the 3.5mm port is not 10v

what's preventing you from installing the a1 port?

sorry didnt read what you said before

hes scared that he'll recive a knockoff device

oh he havent received one yet?

since theres 5xs with mi max 2 hacked mobos floating around

GeekBuying installed a dodgy ROM on a legitimate device for some reason, which fucked up the bootloader

wait so do you have the phone right now or are you still waiting for it?

Waiting for it

are you sure about that dodgy rom then?

or just thinking it's a possibility

It was due like 3 days ago but still.

no one has mentioned getting a 5X that was legitimate thus far :/

@penguin I know the feel about roadtrips btw

well imo i think you won't receive a 5x with a diff motherboard

my dad wants to travel the great ocean road completely from melb to adelaide and I'm rapidly gathering anime to watch on the way through

just gonna be a bitch to get the rom fixed worst case scenario

some people get the "tiffany" loader, which isn't so fucked and means I might be able to load the A1 port, some others got the "oxygen" loader which buttraped them since it locks a portion of the eMMC, and others managed to get the "tiffany" one with the A1 port on it??

in any case, I'm gonna get it refunded if it has an illegitimate bootloader on it.
