Hi all
I recently purchased Redmi pro from lighinthebox. Came preloaded with malwares (multiple) after removal, the phone is bootlooping and not starting at all. Just a caution that do not buy from this seller.

This is my 5th Xiaomi phone and I have encountered this sort of problem for the first time. My previous purchases were from AliExpress and eglobal, all of which came with a clean/official Roms.

    Can't you just unlock bootloader, flash global rom onto it and profit?

    I don't trust anyone who isn't selling official miui global rom

    read this for unbricking information and to try and reflash global rom

    How did you identify the malwares?

      Malware bytes picked up one and trojan cleaner picked up another couple

        Interesting, and couldn't clean it?

          @bamsegod: Yep, all clear now. On Whirpool there's a very useful YouTube video of how to take care of this problem, see shawncro222's post.
