Xiaomi Mi Mix3

ThatBloke

Took me 3+ weeks but I got it going on Mi Mix3
If anyone has problems this is how I solved it.
I tried Linux mint (my main os), win7 and win10 home - didn`t work
Worked with win10 enterprise and good internet (>1mb/s)

Go into phones developer options and allow usb debigging and OEM unlocking. I also had "install via usb" or something enabled.
https://c.mi.com/thread-3221402-1-1.html Run as admin and let it do its thing.
https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html download, extract and run as admin (batch_unlock) and do what it says.
If miui servers are working ok, this should unlock your phone. I didn`t have to wait at all (some have to wait 4+days to unlock). First time I tried it in win10e, miui servers were down for a week or so.
https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/releases/tag/0.8.8-beta download for windows and run as admin. This one needs internet>1mb/s I tried it with other phones hotspot (100kb-250kb/s) and it didnt work.
Hope this helps someone.

Some questions :

Are you still using this phone with Ubuntu Touch ?
Daily usage or just a toy to play around with ?
Did you own the phone or did you buy a used one ?
If so, please give us some details like : Price/Age/Battery status/Overall condition of the phone.
Any idea if there are any reliable replacement batteries available for this phone ?!

I have always been a fan of the Xiaomi Mi Mix models so having one as a daily device with Ubuntu Touch on it would be AWESOME!!!
