[Q] cannot root: hboot 2.0 ver. 2.3.5

Hello community!!
I'm new to the HTC/Incredible S world, I have a rooted/cfw LG P500 and now I bought this great phone. Problem is that I updated it to the last official version before this try.
So I went to the official site and I followed successfully the HTC site steps to unlock the bootloader (golden card?) and now I'm trying to follow the guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385084
But I have some problems.
First of all clearly the revolutionary program doesn't work (HBOOT 2.0).
I booted to the bootloader (power+volume down) and I had the error "main version is older" then I copied on the SD card the file for the recovery PG32IMG_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_KT_KR_2.32.1010.1_Radio_20.2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16_M_release_199684_signed.zip, I renamed it PG32IMG.zip, it loads it but when I press recovery it gives me an allert icon (the phone with a red triangle + red "!" ) and it does nothing.
I installed the SuperUser app like it is written in the post but when I type SU under the adb shell and it gives me "permission denied".
What could I do?
Is it even possible to downgrade it to a rootable/customable version?

If someone write a guide for rooting with the last update installed from original s-on step to step will be very util and a lot of people will be gratefull!

Bootloader unlock and goldcard are 2 seperate things. Bootloader unlock is required at the moment for flashing recovery and superuser for rooting the phone.
Gold card is required for flashing another carriers rom.
Read this thread about recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104765
After that you can enter recovery mode and flash a superuser zip file http://goo-inside.me/superuser/
My guide should be able to downgrade your rom and get s-off after that (if after researching you decide you require it) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373697
Hope this helps

Thanks, I'm going to try this as soon as I can, I'll write back the results
edit:
It seems like I can't even pass the first step, the 4EXT Recovery Updater doesn't work, it crushes at EVERY menu item....
(I waited 5+minutes and I had the internet connection on).
I checked and the boot loader says "unlocked". Notice that my device is, of course, NOT rooted (at least for what I know for "rooted", it is still unlocked by the HTC official method)....

you need root to use the recovery updater.
download the recovery image and flash it in fastboot

Thanks it is finally working!!
I totally forgot that you flash with fastboot via windows console, not within the bootloader....
I hope to finally install something tonight, I'll post some news later.
Thanks again!
edit:
Nothing..I went successfully to the RUU downgrade part but that doesn't work, I tried from the normal system and it blocked because of the hboot version, then I tried within the phone fastboot phase and it blocked again, giving the security failed error...

Hi!
I have successfully rooted my phone on the last update 2.3.5
The steps I made:
1. Going to htcdev and unlocked the bootloader
2. Flashed a recovery image from clockworkmod.com
3. Installed SuperUser from clockworkmod.com using recovery
I collected the information from a few threads here and had no problem.
I didn't tested custom roms, all I wanted was to root and worked just fine.
I can detail my steps if someone need it.

edit:
It seems I cannot post the images, too noob ....
Anyway:
I had a photo of the phone in the custom recovery mode, another of the phone with the 4EXT recovery successfully flashing his recovery, another of the script of your post running with this message:
(no errors)
Do you have an unlocked bootloader from htcdev.com (I have)
y OR n:y
<waiting for device>
...
(bootloader) Lock successfully..
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.239s
Note: run the RUU in fastboot mode
If all steps etc etc
Now if I try to run RUU NOT in fastboot mode I receive the message:
The Utility of ROM udating can't update the Android device.
Take a valid ROM updating Utility and try again
(I'm translating from Italian)
If I try to go to fastboot after running the script I need to go to hboot using volume down+power since you can go to fastboot only through bootloader and HIS first step is to check the bootloader file (am I right?)
so, since it is again LOCKED the custom boot file I was using PG32IMG_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_KT_KR_2.32.1010.1_Radio_20.2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16_M_release_199684_signed
doesn't work anymore and the old one neither so I have to unlock it again and it goes the loop......
So this is the situation, I hope I will be able to post some image soon...

Thanks, I did too the 3 steps, rooting my device successfully...
But I think I need to do a total S-OFF (deeper than the HTC one) to use the CFWs.
It should be like: follow the above 3 steps and:
4. use some script/console command to prepair the device
5. DOWNGRADE it to 2.2 or something
6. use the "revolutionary" Utility to S-OFF permanently
7. flash the ROMS from the recovery
I cannot pass the 4th step.

OK, I thought you only wanted to root.

Thank you anyway

You don't need s-off for CFW's, just the unlocked bootloader. I cannot help you any further until I see screenshots as I'm getting lost in your descriptions. Ctrl prtscrn, paste in paint.

Well, I have the screenshots but I can't post web links in the forum (new user).
Let's see if I can flash some cfw in the mean time

Now I can post

After you flash a custom ROM in recovery, you have one last step to do to prevent the hang. You extract the boot.img file from the ROM's zip file and then manually flash it in FASTBOOT mode on the phone:
FASTBOOT flash boot [path to boot.img]

That totally solved the problem
Thank you ALL!!!

[How to]Root - Install cwm/twrp - Install a custom kernel - Install a custom rom

A complete guide on rooting your HTC Desire 500, both single sim and dual sim.
Sorry for my English!
Before you begin, you might want to check for updates on your phone, because it is harder to install an update after your phone is unlocked.
If you see any english mistakes, please pm me about them. English is not my native tongue.
The steps:
1. Unlock the bootloader via htcdev.com
2. Flash a custom recovery, ClockWorkMod or TeamWinRecoveryProject
3. Flash SuperSU
4. Flash a kernel without system write protection
Alternatively:
1. Flash a custom rom
2. Simunlock your device
3. Install Busybox
4. Install an ota upgrade
Everything is at your own risk!

[How to]Unlock the bootloader
On HTC phones, by default, you can not replace a partition on the phone from your computer. To enable this, your phone has to be Unlocked.
There is a very good video guide about this, made by @Fliwatt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWLK5XhsVAE
Unlocking your bootloader will wipe all your data!
Unlocking your bootloader may void your warranty!
It is, however, necessary to root your phone. Currently, there is no other way to unlock the phone or install a custom recovery.
To start, go to http://www.htcdev.com
Then in the top bar, click register. Create an account and fill in all your data. You will get an e-mail from HTC and your account will be activated.
Once you are logged in on the site, you need to go to "Unlock bootloader", and then click get started. On the right, you see a dropdown box. Click it, and select "All Other Supported Models", then click "Begin Unlock Bootloader"
Next install fastboot. I'm not gonna hold your hand here, there are 400+ tutorials on installing fastboot, for every OS you can think of. Search for one and install it.
And, if you are on windows, then install HTC sync as well, pretty basic, even a Windows user should be able to do it
Next, on your phone, got to Settings->Battery and scroll down. There, disable the checkbox "fast boot" (not to confuse with fastboot, that's something entirely different).
Once you have done that, shut down your phone, then hold the volume down button, and the power button. This is commonly referred to as "booting into fastboot".
To move around in the fastboot menu, you need the volume keys to go up and down, and the power keys to select an option.
If the options you can choose from are:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
SHOW BARCODE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then you need to navigate to fastboot, and then hit the powerkey.
The option you can choose from must be:
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then, on your computer, type:
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Your output will be something like:
Code:

Solution: Select the fastboot option with the powerkey.
Copy the relevant part to the HTC dev site, and submit your token. You will (should) get an e-mail that contains your unlock code. Save the attachment (Unlock_code.bin) to a location where you can find it.
Next type:
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
If you are in the same location as your unlock code, of course.
On your phone, you will now see a screen where you have to confirm that you want to unlock your phone, and that it will wipe all your data, and may void your warranty. Use the volume buttons and the power button to choose what you want.
If you selected that you want to unlock your device, then:
Congrats, your bootloader is unlocked
But hold it, before you reboot your phone to confirm that you will have to re-type your very long wifi password, you might as well continue to installing a custom recovery:

[How to]Install a custom recovery
This is actually quite easy, if you just unlocked your bootloader. The only trick will be selecting the right recovery to flash
Now, there are two three things you need to think about when choosing a recovery:
1. Do you have hboot 1.03 or a lower version
2. Do you want ClockWorkMod or TeamWinRecoveryProject (both are usually abbreviated as you might expect)
3. Do you have dual sim or single sim
1. To check your hboot version, boot your phone into fastboot mode (you got this, check the post up there ^). The third line will be something like:
HBOOT-1.02.0001 or HBOOT-1.01.0001 or HBOOT-1.03.0001. As you might have guessed, this is your hboot
2. cwm or twrp, that's the question.
Cwm is a no touch recovery. That means you have to use the powerbuttons/volumebuttons to move around which is quite annoying. Twrp however, is a touch recovery, much easier to use.
But with twrp, adb doesn't work, which can sometimes be useful if you are a developer. (twrp is not (yet) available for dual sim).
So, it's your choice: twrp or cwm. If you have single sim, you can pick both, if you have dual sim, you can only get cwm.
Downloads:
hboot 1.02 and below:
Both sims:
ClockWorkMod
Single sim:
TeamWinRecoveryProject
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
hboot 1.03:
Both sims:
ClockWorkMod
Single sim:
TeamWinRecoveryProject
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Credits for cwm go to @SPSPaWn and credits for the fix of the dancing screen go to @galaxyfreak
(credits for twrp go to me)
Now, assuming your phone is still in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or recovery_cwm.img etc. I assume you get it.
Wait for it to finish, and then hit BOOTLOADER, and then click one down to RECOVERY, and select it. Your phone should now boot into recovery.
Congrats, you now have a custom recovery!
Now, before jumping with joy because you did it, there is one thing you should do before you do anything else!
Make. A. Backup.
Not optional. You need to have a sdcard in your phone. On twrp, touch backup and follow the onscreen instructions (backup all the partitions that are already checked)
On cwm, you will have to use the volume buttons to scroll down to backup and restore, then select backup, and it should begin immediately.
It can take a very long time, depending on your sdcard.
-very long time-
Now, you are ready to actually root your phone.

[How to]Root your HTC Desire 500
Once you have your recovery installed, you can actually root your phone.
Reboot your phone, then download SuperSU, and put it on your sdcard. Then boot into your new recovery another time. Select either "Install" or "Install zip", then install zip from sdcard, and select the SuperSU.zip you downloaded earlier.
Congrats! You now have (partial) root!
partial??
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, you are not done yet. As an extra layer of security, htc prevents you from editing the system partition, with something called system write protection. To get it away, you need to install a custom kernel.
First, check your software version. You can do this by going to "Settings"->"About Phone"->"Software version".
Mine, for example, is: 1.32.401.3
Now, if your software version starts with 1.20 or something lower, then you must install the Kangbang kernel, else, install the Ultimate kernel.
To install the Kangbang kernel, go here. But the installation instructions are slightly different, basically the only thing you have to do is mount /system, and then flash the zip. Don't forget to mount system!
For installation instruction on flashing the Ultimate Kernel, go here.
Remember, you already flashed a superuser app.
Troubleshoot:
Problem: After installing the kernel I cannot make phone calls
Solution: Install the right kernel, according to your software version
Once you have one of the kernels installed, then your phone is fully rooted!

[How to]Install an ota upgrade
After unlocking your bootloader, the installation of ota (over the air) upgrades fails, because it requires a locked bootloader.
Steps to install the upgrade anyway:
Part 1:
First, you need to download the ota. Next, pull the zip to your computer, it should be located in your downloads folder.
Next, open the zip and remove the file firmware.zip, you will need it later. Next, open in the zip the file META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script. There, you need to remove this part:
Code:
ifelse( is_ship_bootloader(getprop("ro.bootloader")) == "t" ,
assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" ,
"22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444" , "55555555" , "66666666" ,
"77777777" , "88888888" , "99999999" , "HTC__001" , "HTC__E11" ,
"HTC__102" , "HTC__032" , "HTC__Y13" , "HTC__M27" , "HTC__A48" ,
"HTC__J15" , "HTC__203" , "HTC__304" , "HTC__N34" , "HTC__405") == "t");
);
ifelse( is_ship_bootloader(getprop("ro.bootloader")) == "t" ,
assert(check_mid("full", "0P3Z11200") == "t");,
assert(check_mid("simple", "0P3Z11200") == "t");
);
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "z4u" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "z4u");
What you find might slightly different. For example, z4u might be z4dug, if you are on dual sim. But it usually starts at the second line of the file, so it should be to hard to find.
Then, restore the first nandroid back-up you made, because the ota checks if the files on your system partition are modified.
Next, you push the zip back to the sdcard again, and then flash it via your custom recovery.
Part 2:
While you are still in your recovery, make a backup of only your data partition! Don't make a backup of your complete system!
Now, to flash the firmware.zip, you need to lock your bootloader. Because you will have to re-unlock your bootloader after you are done, you will lose all your data again. If you are S-off, then you don't have to relock your bootloader, you can skip this.
How to re-lock your bootloader:
1. In recovery, select: Reboot Bootloader
2. Connect your phone to fastboot
3. Type: fastboot oem lock
That was easy! Your phone, however, might not boot. Don't worry about that, we will fix that later.
Now, type:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
This can take a short while.
Next:
Code:
fastboot reboot
You now have flashed the firmware.zip
Congrats, you have the ota installed.
It might be a good idea to keep your modified ota around, you might need it later on.
Now, you can unlock your bootloader again (htc dev, second post), check your hboot version again, install a custom recovery again (make a new backup. Don't throw away your old backup), root your phone again etc.
You can now install The Ultimate Kernel!
Credits go to @ricardo-nl, this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597314&page=45
To do: Make a cool bash/awk script that removes all the assert(), so the updating won't fail if you have deleted some system files.

[How to]Simunlock
To sim unlock your device, you need to have CWM on your device and you need to have adb installed.
It doesn't work with twrp, because adb doesn't work.
Boot your device into cwm. Connect your device to your computer (with the cable), and connect with:
Code:
adb shell
then, type:
Code:
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
The output will be a lot of rubbish, but you need to
look for a 8 digit combination that MAKES SENSE for a CODE.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And In the case of ATRAC3, it was K65151479, so his unlock code was 65151479. I haven't tested this myself, because my device was never sim locked, but it should work.
Full credits for this go to @ATRAC3, this post.

[How to]Install busybox and Xposed
Requires: full root (custom kernel!)
Install busybox:
Easy: Install this app. Then open it, and click install.
Told you it was easy!
Xposed framework:
Well, this is basically outlined here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053. I can't bring it easier. But remember it requires full root!

[How to]Get a logcat and a dmesg
Well, everything is done and working. You have rooted your phone, installed a custom kernel and a custom rom, and everything is working fine.
But, then, at once, you get: "unfortunately camera has stopped" and your camera app refuses to start. And now, when you tell the dev that the camera is not working, he replies:
logcat. dmesg.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, I'll explain what they both are:
dmesg - This is basically a print of /devlog/kernel_log. All the messages from the kernel get stored there. If you think a problem is kernel related, you should at least include this.
logcat - This is a print of /devlog/system_log. All other messages get stored there. If you think something is related to a rom, you should at least include it.
It requires you to have adb installed.
How to get one:
1. Enable adb on your phone. Go to Settings->Developer Options->enable it->enable USB-debugging
2. Next, connect your phone with a cable, and type (on the computer cmdline): adb devices
You should see something like: SH3BRWE00258 device. This means your phone is succesfully connected.
If you want a logcat, now type: adb logcat > logcat
This stores all the logs in logcat. You have to let this run for a few seconds, and then hit ctrl+c. Then, there should be a file called logcat, containing, well, your logcat.
If you want a dmesg, type: adb shell
Then, you need to check, whether the text you see ends with a #. If it doesn't, type: su, and then unlock your phone. You might see a warning, asking for superuser access, grant it.
If you are sure it ends with #, then type: dmesg > storage/sdcard0/dmesg
The dmesg is then stored on your sdcard (called dmesg), pull it to your computer and post it on the forums.

Tips for further reading
Some places where you might want to look for more info:
1. http://xda-university.com/ is a good start. Read the "As a user", and perhaps the "As a developer" as well.
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877040 a good guide on github
3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680928 and http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/about_unlock_process Some info about S-off and why you probably don't need it.
A word about posting a proper question:
be short, but post everything, for example:
bad:

ok:

This way I don't have to ask "what is your hboot version" etc.

Thank you for this topic .
It s time for me to try the custom rom and kernel .
Just for that : "Next install fastboot. I'm not gonna hold your hand here, there are 400+ tutorials on installing fastboot, for every OS you can think of. Search for one and install it."
It s in the video of Fliwatt ( 3,40 ). Everything is explain . With your post and the video , everybody can do that . (So don t need to install sdk tool ? It s just for the adb files , right ? )
Thank you
And, Htc sync is htc sync manager ? ( the link is broken on htc : www.htc.com/www/help/ )

It s in the video of Fliwatt ( 3,40 ). Everything is explain . With your post and the video , everybody can do that . (So don t need to install sdk tool ? It s just for the adb files , right ? )
Thank you
And, Htc sync is htc sync manager ? ( the link is broken on htc : www.htc.com/www/help/ )

A complete guide on rooting your HTC Desire 500, both single sim and dual sim.
Sorry for my English!
Before you begin, you might want to check for updates on your phone, because it is harder to install an update after your phone is unlocked.
If you see any english mistakes, please pm me about them. English is not my native tongue.
The steps:
1. Unlock the bootloader via htcdev.com
2. Flash a custom recovery, ClockWorkMod or TeamWinRecoveryProject
3. Flash SuperSU
4. Flash a kernel without system write protection
Alternatively:
1. Flash a custom rom
2. Simunlock your device
3. Install Busybox?
The part about the rooting and simunlock are finished, the rest isn't.
Everything is at your own risk!

Go to Settings->Info->Software Updates, then a screen should pop up, about 1.32/1.20, then you can download it. If a screen does not popup, then you cannot install any update, and I don't recommend trying to install one

Depends, whether your downloads are saved on the sdcard or on the phones internal storage.
Try /storage/sdcard0/Downloads
/storage/emmc/Downloads
Sth like that

great guide
thank you!
i have a problem...
well
when i go in recovery - install zip from sdcard i have only sd card not fount
i try to mount by menu but nothing to do.
sdcard works well in android
any idea?
thanks
Stefano
edit: i solve my problem. i had 2 partitions on sdcard and fat32 one was 2nd. i moved fat32 partition forward and now it's all ok

You do not need full root to install the Xposed Framework anymore, they now provide a flashable zip for the recovery.

[Recovery][LG-H960A] TWRP v3.0.2-0 (unofficial)

This is an unofficial TWRP port for LG-H960A.
Thanks to @KAsp3rd and @GROGG88
I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. YOU DO EVERYTHING AT YOUR OWN RISK.
READ EVERYTHING and MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU START.
Instructions:
1. You must be on newest stock Marshmallow: H960A20a_00_0316.kdz
You can use LG Bridge to install official update, or download .kdz file HERE
2. You need to have bootloader ulocked.
Official instructions are here: ( Unlocking the Bootloader @ LG Developer )
Remember that this will completely WIPE YOUR DATA, you will LOSE WARRANTY and this operation is IRREVERSIBLE.
3. Flash TWRP.
I assume you got ADB and FASTBOOT drivers working and adb is paired (it should be if you completed step 2).
Connect your phone to your pc, open command prompt and reboot to bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Your phone should reboot and you should be welcomed by Fastboot Mode screen.
Now download the recovery file (below) to your pc, unpack (to get .img) and rename it to recovery.img and put it in folder where you got command prompt open and:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Boot to TWRP.
As on Marshmallow some fastboot commands are not working and LG is restoring recovery on every boot (so you cant use "adb reboot recovery" right now) you need to use one trick.
DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE.
When still in fastboot from step 3 you need to turn off your phone completely. You can do that by holding power button or if that is not working take the battery out.
Now (put the battery in) and press POWER + VOL DOWN buttons. When you see LG logo release the POWER button (while still holding VOL DOWN) and press POWER button again.
You should see a screen which is asking you if you want to factory reset your phone. Don't worry - if you made everything correctly it should not wipe your phone.
Use volume and power buttons to choose YES (twice) - and you should see a TWRP screen (after a while)
WARNING: IF YOU REBOOTED YOUR PHONE AFTER FLASHING RECOVERY THIS STEP WILL REALLY ERASE ALL DATA. You need to flash recovery again (step 3)
5. (optional) flash SuperSU to get root.
Get SuperSU from official thread and put it in your phone.
While in TWRP from step 4 your phone should be recognized by ADB. Use below to move file to sdcard.
Code:
adb push BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip /sdcard/supersu.zip
Now in TWRP click Install, go to /sdcard/ and chooose supersu.zip. Follow instructions. After install you should choose to wipe cache/dalvik and reboot to system.
Your phone should be rooted now.
Download:
twrp-3.0.2.0-0-h960a.img.zip
(unpack .zip to get flashable .img)
Issues:
- Layout is wrong, status bar is being drawn on second screen.
- Date/time is wrong.

OK, now if we have recovery, is it possible to dump rooted system and pack it to .tot file for people who don't want to lose warranty?

Didn't try xposed but I think it should work (if it's working on other V10 models - they are not that different). I just recently bought V10 and was disappointed in dpi, so I needed root to patch second screen to be dpi-independent.
Also: why would you want things like Viper4Android when you got really good sounding hifi dac onboard?

For sure it's enough to flash packages and get root. Xposed is independent from recovery so I can't say anything about that.
Testing are up to you guys. Don't be afraid as this phone is not easy to brick.

There is still a long way, right now second screen FCs are fixed, but layouts are still wrong. I don't know if I can fix it to be truly dpi-independent but I think 560 is optimal value for this screen.

I did try his method and it worked like a charm. Ok, you'll have to reflash TWRP if you want to use it but I'm sure it's just a matter of time until we have permanent TWRP like th T-Mobile V10 obviously has.
Thanks to rudi666 I have root, xposed, adaway and viper4audio up and running on my V10. And as there are no interesting custom roms to flash in my opinion it does not matter that I'd need to reflash TWRP. If you plan your flashing in advance you can flash all zip files in one go. No real need for TWRP afterwards.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately I see there is not much going on in V10 scene, and it's a shame.

Hm.. if you follow instructions you should get permanent TWRP, just try "adb reboot recovery" to test it if you don't want to risk clearing data when using button combination. There is a file called /system/boot-from-recovery.p which is 'restoring recovery' on every boot (that's why there is an info in instruction about not rebooting your phone the first time), but after all the steps this file will be patched. I don't remember if the first use of TWRP or flashing SuperSU does it, but you should get permanent recovery. If not you can always rename this file manually.

Hi,
I will try that again and see if I can get permanent TWRP. But as I said currently there is no real requirement for that. I flashed SuperSU and both files for xposed when I first booted into recovery and that is all I need at the moment.

[How to]: going from China ROM to a working, rooted international ROM (2016/06/20)

Hey guys,
I recently purchased a Mi5 in China and had a hellish experience trying to get a working rooted international ROM on it even though I am definitely not a noob at android. I found out that most issues I had were result of small/stupid mistakes that can be easily avoided with the proper knowledge, so I decided to write a super quick how to on the process for anyone that might need it in the future. There are similar guides out there, and I will refer to some (all credit goes to original posters) but I found that most are incomplete/not updated/plain wrong. Please also note that this guide is updated to June 20th, newer ROM versions might require different steps.
This how to assumes you are familiar with the standard ROM flashing process, in case anyone needs a more detailed explaination of some of the steps, you can reply or search XDA elsewhere, most of the stuff has been mentioned here and there before.
1. Check that your hardware is ok (dial *#*#64663#*#* in dialer, you will enter hardware test mode, check every single item carefully)
2. Request a bootloader unlock from Xiaomi, unlock the bootloader: follow instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/how-to/unlocking-xiaomi-mi-5-bootloader-t3336243
3. Now that Your bootloader is unlocked, you have 3 main options for working ROMs: Xiaomi's Global Stable, Xiaomi's Global Dev, Xiaomi.eu's unofficial Stable. If you want to play it safe, I suggest to go with the Xiaomi's Global Stable, otherwise choose Xiaomi.eu's unofficial Stable. I did not test extensively all three, so this is just a general recommendation.
4. In any case, you will need to use the official Xiaomi's flashing tool (Miflash) to do your first ROM flash. Just follow the process here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html and you'll have flashed your new ROM. In case you want to flash Xiaomi.eu's unofficial Stable, follow the same process but get the flashable ROM here: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/xiaomi-eu-multilang-rom-for-xiaomi-mi5-unlocked-bl-only-released.31231/
5. Boot into your newly flashed ROM, check once again that hardware is ok (see step 1.). Please also see step 10b for a tidbit of additional info if You're in China.
6. Reboot into bootloader, boot (only boot, no need to install) TWRP, which you can find here as part of Xiaomi.eu's thread above in step 4. inside a zip packaged with a modded bootloader image. do NOT install the modded bootloader image. Also, this is the only version of TWRP that I found working for my device. There are a couple more versions from chinese developers (cofface, ganfan), but booting either resulted in blank screen.
7. Once you are in TWRP, the recovery will ask you for a decryption password, just press cancel, then "Swipe to allow modifications"
8. Sideload (you cannot install from internal storage since you will not be able to access it at the moment) the latest SuperSU stable, which you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053. Please note that you WILL need the latest version, anything earlier might just get you a bootloop. And please do NOT format /Data to make it accessible to TWRP as that will also likely result in bootloop. Just sideload whatever you need.
9. Do NOT wipe Dalvik or Cache, reboot into System.
10. Congrats, You're done. Have a beer/coffee/tea and pat yourself on the back.
10b. In case You're in China, and this is Your first Android 5.0+ ROM, you will happen into a "bug" (it's not really a bug, but a result of China's Great Firewall), where whenever you connect to a Wifi, the phone will think you have no internet access and that will cause a whole host of issues (won't reconnect automatically, will try to default to 4G etc.). If so, just enable ADB Debugging and type adb shell "settings put global captive_portal_server httpstat.us/204" . That will mostly solve it (you might still get some weird result with some APs, but toggling Wifi should solve the problem for that AP forever.

After it says booting, does the screen light up? If so please check wether "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" return anything. If adb returns "recovery" or if both return empty, you're likely bumping into my same issue where the recovery won't boot (to me this happened regardless of whether I flashed or booted it). Are you using the specific recovery version from my point 6?

no, nothing happens on the screen, it stays in fb mode without any reaction. adb and fb devices doesn't return any device connected.. if i do an fb reboot it told me "waiting for any device" so the only option to get it run again is to power off.. yes of course, it's the recovery.img with the modified boot.img..

i want only to inform you, i get it to work.. the problem was my rom, miui 8.. for miui 8 you will need a new version of twrp, which you can download here: https://yadi.sk/d/oj6Z-0u7sXdw6 after that, i was able to boot to the twrp recovery without flashing it, so i keept everything original like it was and was able to sideload the supersu and get root without to format my data.. when you start the recovery it came in chinese, but when you click on the right button you can choose your language.. that's it.. thank you for you support dude!!

Is it only way to switch from chinese ROM to official global ROM to have unlocked bootloader? If it is, is there any other way of unlocking it, waiting 15 days to get permission seems ridiculous.

Lovely step by step guide. But, any idea if it will wipe the user data and/or internal sdcard when moving from the chinese to international version?

You should make sure you get a pristine backup at hand, or a RUU appropriate to your device. Otherwise you'll never be able toreturn to a full stock system.
On the U11 it is possible to boot TWRP from fastboot, without flashing it and thus without touching stock recovery. That way I've been able to flash Magisk what's coming with MagiskSU and the possibility to use some Modules. And all without altering the system or replacing stock recovery in the first place.

The guys method of using recovery to backup recovery will only work on Philz… Not twrp as it does not always backup stock recovery properly. The proper way to backup stock recovery is..
1. Root your phone, which can be done by towel root or by just booting a recovery like he said,
fastboot boot twrporwhatever.img, then flash supersu
2. Boot phone that has stock recovery
3. adb shell
4. su "watch your phone to grant root adb access if you haven't ever done it"
5. dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
6. This will put flashable recovery.img on your internal sd card. Copy this and save it for later
7. "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" will get you back to stock recovery, "fastboot flash recovery twrporwhatever.img" to flash custom recovery.
Click to expand...

If possible and a TWRP recovery is available one should boot to bootloader and try if the command fastboot boot name_of_twrp.img works. Make sure to NOT grant r/w at first boot and leave it ro. Now you can perform a backup of stock recovery, boot and system image (not system partition!) to obtain a pristine backup.
All else will alter system partitions md5 and the backup won't be pristine any longer. Due to block based OTA policy introduced by Google you won't be able to OTA without a pristine system image.

But in download mode there is no fastboot active ?! Until you installed the correct drivers

no "fastboot" (like a "one s", etc) on this phone. no fastboot usb
"fastboot" command work in "bootloader menu" and "download mode"
fastboot oem only in download mode

Hello. Please explain what I am doing wrong. I will download what is in points. I download this adb something, but it does not work. Nothing starts. Does not communicate with the phone. OCB. Could anyone write this guide so that he could understand and act?
