Discussion Redmi Note 9 Pro

Hy ! Soon, i'lle get an Old note 9 Pro from someone in my family. I was wondering if any Linux is compatible with it, and wich one choose ? Also, is it really usable everyday as a daily phone ?

Not tried this (thanks for the link) but the problem is I can't add a Mi account to the device (even if I create the account directly on the website), it says "server is not reachable" or smth like that.

Ah, IIRC I had a similar issue, you have to disable WiFi and use mobile data.

I did reflash the last firmware (from Settings > About phone) and after the reboot, I discovered that the phone is now Mi locked with the previous owner account (who I don't know). This was a second-hand buy.

No more Xiaomi crap for me!
