Hi Forum
I'm still a newbie in all this android business, I try to read as many threads as possible before asking questions, however I just read A LOT about this MIUI, and people said there was released one for Optimus 2X? I just can't find it anywhere on the MIUI site.
Also if I do want this, how do I go about installing it? Can something go bad? I just don't want to brick my phone as I was close to doing so when I was playing around with flashing my SE phones
Help would be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards

Hi, you might wanna start and flash CyanogenMod first, also that is the best path to MIUI since the whole structure of MIUI for O2X is CM7. So go ahead to the CM7 thread and follow the guide there (I believe there is one).
I can't however tell you that not everything will go OK, since I don't know what knowledge do you have, but just be careful and everything will go great.
As for the MIUI installation it is somewhere in the only miui Thread at the moment in the development section.

miui germany .de celebration HD beta version ^^
i think they removed the link
I found the link, but what is the process? I understand I have to install RomManager, then clockworkrecovery, place the miui .zip on my SD card (only got internal, is that ok?), boot into recovery, "install from zip"
Is that all? Anything I need to do before?
i am also interested in this
Anyone with time and generosity who wants to help us newbies ?
External is needed if I'm right someone may be able to back me up with that but basically use rom manager to flash clockwork mod recovery (cwm). Use volume buttons to move up and down Recovery menu and power button to select, it's recommended to make a nandroid backup before flashing so you always have an go back to how it was if anything goes wrong. Next step after backup is to factory reset, wipe cache partition, go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache and battery stats. Now go to install zip from sd card and then choose zip from sd card and select your rom and flash and reboot. I'm new to this also so hope this helps.

but where does one get the zip image
The zip file is no problem, are you sure about the external SD thing tho? I don't have one
if you wqnt to flash roms you should get one. i got a 16gb one for about 14 euros from amazon
Could you link me to that ?

Wrong ! There are 2 versions of CWM. One for external and one for internal.
Go to dev section and search
As others have said, start with cyanogen to "cut you teeth" and then you can move to the MIUI ROM
MIUIUIUIUIUI is *dogshite* awful, but the installation process still remains the same. Flash zip. You do not need an external SD, you just need to read a bit more on recovery mounts.
Personally, CYANOGENMOD ALL THE WAY.
But what is the point installing cynagenmod and then installing MIUI right after?
the current MIUI for o2x is based off CM7.
But wouldn't it be the same as installing it from Stock in comparison to installing it from CM, won't I have to wipe and factory everything anyway?
Please clarify As said, I'm still very new to all of this!
if you are concern about bricking i suggest u make a nandroid backup or have another working rom on your sdcard. other than that process is the same.
Is there any way to do this without internet connection on my phone? My carrier stopped my internet connection because I forgot a bill I can't get rom manager due to not being able to get to market, any .apk or such?
Hi all. Due apologies in advance if I sound like a total newbie.
I'm looking to install CM 7.x on my O2X. Before that, I want to backup my stock LG ROM so that I can restore it in the event I need to send the device back to the service centre for any reason. Would appreciate any help or pointers for backing up and restoring the stock ROM on my handset.

To have a perfect restore you'll have to get rid of CWM either, that means restoring original recovery partition. The only way to do this is to flash an original complete ROM with nvflash.
There is a thread about this with all original Froyo roms, should be easy to find in dev section.
After backup LG update tool will get you to the latest version and it will be ok to go back for repair...

i think you don't need to backup stock rom, you only backup your data and system data with titanium backup. because there is tool like nvflash that's already mention or smartflash tool to flash your phone to the original stock rom

Yes I supposed he knows that I assumed he wanted to know how to restore a complete stock ROM including the stock recovery to preserve warranty if he needs to get the phone back for repair.
you can find NVFlash & Guide in my folder :

Hey, I recently upgraded my Z1 to 4.4(Flashtool) but when i try to restore backup, appears this, how can i fix that?
"selected backup records cannot be used due to incompatible software versions. Please select a more recent backup file"
Please help me!
What are you trying to restore? What app are you using to restore? Maybe the app is not compatible with KitKat (i.e. not Sony problem).
Xperia Z1 doesn't restore Backup Files after upgrading to 4.4 software!
im also face the same problem!!! incompatibility version, please help me!
People, if you do not explain what tool are you using, which version, which firmware, which phone model, and so on, we cannot help much.
Dear Friends,
I use sony Xperia SP C5302 Model. I have took the back up of all my contacts, Msgs & Apps from Android Version JB 4.1 and upgraded my android version to JB 4.3 but now i could not able to reinstall my back up contacts and apps in the newer version. Before update I did a backup of all application with Backup&store preinstalled app to SD card. please help me to resolve this problem because i have all my official data in that back up only.
Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
Mugesh Kumar
Please Help
Dear Friends,
Please help me by giving some solution for re installing.

If the backup was made to internal sdcard then it would have probably erased during update.

If you are pretty sure the integrity of the backup, I think the last option now is to return to 4.1 and restore from there. Afterwards, root it and back it up darn perfect with Titanium backup, and then proceed to return to 4.3.
Would you like to do this? If so, I will explain steps by steps.
Please help anyone.
I was using old version of MIUI on Redmi 5A. I did backup from setting then I copied to my PC and installed new MiUI fastboot ROM after unlocking but now when I'm trying to restore, everything is getting restored except Apps and it's data. I really need those apps because it have 2FA codes also. Please help me
Is it because of using different version of MiUI which was previously used to backup?
(Sorry for posting it in wrong section)

"Is it because of using different version of MiUI which was previously used to backup?" unfortunately i don't know the answer but you can try it out with this (maybe unofficial) software which lets you flash earlier than the newest but only official ROMs or recovery (or seems to be official) . Thankfully it doesnt need an unlock bootloader but maybe you have to take your phone in EDL mode to flash it.
