Change baseband version on Mi4 64GB without preinstalled CM13

Hey guys,

I just bought a new Mi4 and want to install CM13 on it. As far as I know I have to change the baseband version as mentioned here:

The guide says I need to have CM13 already installed for me to proceed as described, but how am I going to do this if I am going to install CM13 but cannot because of wrong baseband? Kind of a recurrent problem, isn't it?

Thanks very much for your help.

Fake YouTube app with adware pre-installed on stock US 11S

Hi,

I got this phone recently, and noticed that my chrome browser kept opening up a pop up every time I opened it, often managing to install battery pro app or something similar.

I tried almost all anti malware apps to no avail, and after searching vigorously, I found the source.

It seems the phone came pre installed stock with a rogue YouTube app, which appears as an old version, and which you can't update from the playstore.

Check out the thread below, thats how I good to the bottom of it. You need to root your phone to remove it. I was actually being taken to the same website as the author of the blog, and for him it was YouTube as well, so seems this is common practice among foreign cheap phones.
