Dear all, I bought a Mi4c two weeks ago, online from the MI canadian store. When the phone arrived it had a ROM that had very little chinese content, perhaps just the MiStore and the Music app content.The phone originally came with the GooglePlay app installed. Three days later, after I had the phone personalized and ready to start using it, the MiPC suite indicated that there was an update available. I thought it will be the much anticipated Android 6 and I complied with the request. After the update all the google applications disapeared and the chinese content of the phone is significantly higher, including the keyboard. Before I could have two keyboards, English and Russian and now I can't even get the english one. I have been reading that they pushed an update to comply with the Chinese regulations regarding google and that that particular update "locked" the phone. I tried to install the Global ROM but the I cant install TWRP and Flashify tells me that I don't have admin access to the ROM. What to do? The phone works but it's basically useless for me because of the overwhelming chinese content. I have emailed MI about it asking for a unlock code, I have emailed the store asking to return the phone...and no answers for a week.
Am I SOL?
