DeleteHic. The region Indian worked for my Redmi Note 3 phone. But the region Vietnam you gave not working. I choose Region Vietnam in Region setting but it back to Poland. Please help me. Tks.
DeleteAfter moving the files do not go to Additional settings and change the region. It will be changed automatically and it will be permanent. It works. I have tested it.
DeleteSo now how can i set Region to Vietnam. I repeat as you guilded, but now it cannot change to Vietnam :(
DeleteIts easy, first of all delete the files you put in the cust folder and download the Vietnam fix files, copy the files you have downloaded to cust and set the permissions as shown above. After that just reboot your device. I tested it again and its working fine. Follow the guide properly, it will definitely work for you.
