oh right, ccp spies.

2018-01-01 11:43:16 UTC  

Hmm

What are some good brand Mechanical Keyboards from Ali?

2018-01-01 11:48:07 UTC  

here's a good starting point http://chinkshit.xyz/infographic.pdf @Lesi

@Deleted User
All that snow will probably add another day of delay.

2018-01-01 11:49:56 UTC  

@penguin Should have bought from IBuyGou

2018-01-01 12:57:46 UTC  

"can't be flashed or modified"

2018-01-01 12:57:52 UTC  

hmmm

2018-01-01 13:02:55 UTC  

@Cole It ends up with 900E and 9008 errors, and you can fix it but only to go back to using the hacked rom.
I just want to flash the A1 port onto it.

2018-01-01 13:06:30 UTC  

how would a seller effectively break ROM installation

2018-01-01 13:06:56 UTC  

I'm not doubting you, I'm interested in how tf is that possible

2018-01-01 13:07:19 UTC  

unless it's a phone with different hardware

2018-01-01 13:09:19 UTC  

fastboot

2018-01-01 13:09:34 UTC  

if they flashed some shit they must've unlocked the bootloader

2018-01-01 13:11:09 UTC  

it's quite possible it's a hacked device completely

2018-01-01 13:11:25 UTC  

one second I'll pull up the MIUI forum

2018-01-01 13:11:46 UTC  

That's the main thread

2018-01-01 13:12:27 UTC  

My main issue is I'm entirely unsure if it'd be safe to install TWRP and the A1 port without bricking :/

2018-01-01 13:13:11 UTC  

Do you have the device in hand?

2018-01-01 13:13:46 UTC  

Nope. Even after their week of processing it the parcel is late

2018-01-01 13:14:34 UTC  

Once you get it, plug it into your computer and check using fastboot what type it is.

2018-01-01 13:14:44 UTC  

If it's Oxygen, chargeback.

2018-01-01 13:14:58 UTC  

Say that the device has been tampered with and is not safe for use.

2018-01-01 13:15:04 UTC  

why would chink do it

2018-01-01 13:15:10 UTC  

botnet

2018-01-01 13:15:24 UTC  

Tracking only shows "information recieved" 2 days ago, which is a day after it was due to delivered and was only put in because I asked the postal company to look into the tracking number. I've requested that they send me a refund and said "if it arrives I'll contact you"

Contact them my ass, shit's my paperweight regardless.

2018-01-01 13:16:02 UTC  

@Droidbot yeah I'll make sure to check. If it's Tiffany theres a chance I can still get an update to fix it.

2018-01-01 13:16:04 UTC  

chargeback seems like a good idea

2018-01-01 13:16:30 UTC  

especially if you say what Droidbot did

2018-01-01 13:16:58 UTC  

yeah I paid through paypal and I'll be able to prove not only my phone has been tampered but also the phones of many other customers to back me up.

2018-01-01 13:17:14 UTC  

take screenshots of the product listing too, since I bet they don't mention this tampering anywhere

2018-01-01 13:17:29 UTC  

Nope, they don't even claim it's a global rom.

2018-01-01 13:17:42 UTC  

oh you paid via PayPal? major win here

2018-01-01 13:17:58 UTC  

PayPal will save your ass

2018-01-01 13:18:29 UTC  

Hope they let me keep it though. Even if it's fucked I need a phone for the time being

2018-01-01 13:18:40 UTC  

my trusty PPTV King 7 finally bit the dust 😢

2018-01-01 13:25:55 UTC  

the fuck is pptv

2018-01-01 13:26:02 UTC  

first time hearing of that brand

2018-01-01 13:28:42 UTC  

some chinkshit brand that came and went like a black father
