Urgent help needed Mi4i

6Diablo9 said:

I bought myself a Mi4i to use in UK. I got a lycamobile sim but I didn't get GPRS settings on the phone. I wanted to manually install the settings but whenever I go in APN I get a message saying "access point name settings are not available for thus user".
I have recharged for £5 for a 4g plan but now the plan is going waste. Please help as I'm not able to use my internet.

Go the custom ROM route... No more restrictions...

Sorce : 5.0 lollipop - How to solve the "APN settings are not available for this user" issue? - Android Enthusiasts Stack Exchange
Try this :
Step 1 : WiFi turned on, and be in the range of a known WiFi network.
Step 2 : Reboot the phone (may need to reboot several times, if it doesn't work the first time)
Step 3 : When the phone reboots, it should connect to WiFi network.
Step 4 : Go to APN settings and see that you can, now edit APN settings.
Reason : When phone is turned on, if it's not connected to WiFi, it will try and connect to mobile network thus disabling you from editing APN settings. However if you try the above steps, your phone connects to WiFi instead of Mobile-data.

Isn't there any other temporary fix. I kinda don't have a PC access here.

Tried several reboot method. That also does not work.

Will rooting work? If it doesn't work I'll be forced to sell this piece of junk buy some "branded" phone.

1. Flash custom recovery
2. Install custom ROM
3. Root phone (or don't)

Just do this. It will be a new phone. MIUI is crap.

I was trying to install the manual settings again and guess what, the phone took them. The message was showing that I can't enter manual settings. But it still took tt .
I will install a custom from but as I said I don't have an access to a PC, once I get a PC I'll do it. Thanks for all the help.

its a long process contact me after 4Pm
