@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
just an international version
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
vendor roms are outdated and you can't update them or unlock bootloader etc.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
it works instantly
and if you look on xiaomi reddit there's ways to unlock the bootloader on any xiaomi phone even with unofficial rom
but again, if they say they'll flash global rom that's exactly what the ydo
yes but for myself I don't want to support chinky chinks who send their chinky roms in my phone
rather buy from legit sellers
but they won't
you're pointing at a phone where they make no promises to send anything other than the rom they have
as "proof" this is standard gearbest practice
the global versions tend to be a bit pricier BECAUSE they go in and do the work to flash global rom for you
