they all flash some form of UI on there, how chinky it is depends on the company itself
like Oukitel are known for using stock android
and yesterday there were couple people who said they received ones with vendor roms in thread
I wouldn't trust the firmware out of the box anyway
also in reddit xiaomi there have been reports
I'd at least get xiaomi eu ROM
if you don't know how to flash your own rom then you don't belong on /g/
especially with Xiaomi who make it piss simple
yes but I rather buy from seller who doesn't fill phone with shit
@Make Make you also have to understand to not take everything on /csg/ literally when there's a shitposter out there spreading lies to prop up Zuk and make Xiaomi look bad
/csg/ is full of lies
yes but I was talking also about xiaomi reddit
and flashing roms on Xiaomi phones is super easy, especially if its from MIUI to MIUI

Gearbest has always sent out the global Miui
vendor rom=/=global rom
there's no global version of the redmi 4x on gearbest
as far as I can see
on the Redmi Note 4 Global page they explicitly say they'll flash the global rom before shipping
they don't on the redmi 4x
@Make and this is how easy it is to get rid of it "Download lastest Global ROM from miui forum, transfer it to the device, go to Updater, click on the three dots at the corner and select Install from package, choose file"

yes I don't have problems with flashing
I have cyanogenmod in my sgs2 for example
and you still don't seem to understand what we're saying, if they say they'll flash global rom on the store page that's what they'll do
the amount of times anons on /csg/ have a mini freakout because their phone package comes opened and it's just because some chink opened it to flash the global rom
global roms differs from vendor roms
vendor roms are outdated and you can't update them or unlock bootloader etc.
you can if it's miui to miui
how do you think the chinks flash global rom before shipping?
magic?
It's easy and fast for them
if it wasn't possible to do it easily then they wouldn't be able to handle thousands of orders a day doing this
there are official ones and unofficial roms
you don't seem to get it what is really vendor rom
I know someone who got an unofficial rom in, no updates, nothing
I then used tribits method
