Was running Mi3w AOSP 4.9.18 and the OTA 4.11.4 update to would not run. Searched for the update version number and found the zip to be 352 MB named miui_mi3w_ivan_4.11.4_9c8cb87249_4.4.zip, no 'OTA' in the file name. I forced the install with CWM after factory reset and wiping caches. The image seems to come with Gapps micro installed and I threw Xposed with Gravity and XuiMod on it without major issue.
Thought I would share if anyone has the same issue. Just use a root file browser and search for 4.11.4. Copy the file to the SDcard and use Clockwork Mod to install it.

Did you tried to flash it with Xposed app?
Download xposed installer and zip file of the same version and install the apk and don't open it. now boot into recovery flash the zip file and reboot.
If it bootloops flash xposed disabler.zip
Just Google these files you'll get them.
Hello everyone,
I recently asked my friend to root my phone and flash cyanogen mod 12 on my phone. After he flashed it, I realised that I still have the stock recovery (MI Receovery 2.). I am unable to flash gapps no matter how many times I try. I have added the zip file to internal memory, changed the name to "update", from recovery, i have tried to update.zip but it always fails after it reaches 98%.
I thought the problem was the stock recovery so I tried to flash the cwm recovery the same way as mentioned above, but the result was the same. I couldn't flash that either.
Please help!!!

Okay it seems that your system partition is full.
You can opt for one of the 2 solutions I'll provide you :
1
So as too much said, you can resize your partition in order to get system1 1.2Gb and system 2 just some Mb.
Here is the thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-3/general/howto-resize-extend-partition-capacity-t3011918
Or just flash the zip provided here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58591075&postcount=29
But remember to make a nandroid backup of your rom because repartitionning will wipe your system partitions. And also keep the rom zip on your internal memory.
2
But without resizing you can flash a smaller gapps package (just google play services and play store), normally your rom is based on android 5.0.2, so if I'm not mistaking here are the gapps you can flash (smaller one) : https://mega.co.nz/#!1c1VhAKT!SCCXkMJ3oS1bTc-LFFYCjqL0MXVqb4Q8HIEINuZYj98
After that you can install gmail and other google apps from play store. These apps are going to be installed as user app wiythout taking storage on system partition.
Hope it'll help you
Hi,
I upgraded my Android to version 4.4.4 via the updater following these steps (from what I can recall).
1) I downloaded the latest Release version & the latest Gapps files locally to the tablet & went to recovery.
2) I took a backup, wiped Dalvik cache & apply update from sdcard.
3) I ran the Android release build zip file but forgot to run the Gapps zip file.
4) Android upgraded to version 4.4.4 but when I log in I get prompted that 'Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped' . As I forgot to run the Gapps zip file that is to be expected.
When I boot into recovery it can only see the following directories & not the update folder where the Gapps file was downloaded.
Android
DCIM
LOST.DIR
appdata
clockworkmd
downloads
ringtones
wallpapers
The recovery doesn't seem to be able to see the sdcard & only the internal storage.
However if I copy the Gapps zip file to any of the folders above, boot to recovery again it won't see the zip file.
I also seem to have wiped my backup trying to recovery the situation so can't roll back.
Within the recovery menu I've tried to mount/unmounts the below but it still can't see any of the folders.
Mount /boot
Unmount /cache
Mount /data
Mount /system
unmounts /sdcard
The above is my current settings but I've tried mounting them all.
To complicate the matter further the USB port on the tablet is broken so I can't connect it to my computer.
Previously to transfer files I used a ftp client on my laptop & Wifi File Transfer Pro on the tablet.
I don't know whether to finally give up on my touchpad so any help/advice is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chip

Access to the sdcard has to be enabled by the developer. You must have installed one that doesn't (since you didn't specify which it was)

Here is the build info currently on the tablet.
Kernel Version:
3.4.82-tenderloin
Mod Version:
ev_ternderloin=testing-2015.01.22
Build number:
ev_tenerloin-eng 4.4.4 KTU84Q eng.flintman.20150122.215911 test-keys
If this build doesn't recognise the sdcard, should it not recognise the Gapps zip file on the internal storage?
There is 1.4GB in total on the internal storage with 388MB free.
Do you know if there is anyway I could get a build of Android & Gapps on the tablet & upgrade to that?
Thanks for responding to the thread.

I doubt you've used the latest and proper way to install 4.4/5.0 ROM's. Go here. Start over and follow the instructions to the letter. Read everything first and decide how you want to proceed before doing anything.
Hi all!
So I recently bought a Cubot Max but cant get any Xposed Modules to work!
Specs:
Cubot Max
Android 6.0
FW v11
arm64
I got the zip and apk off the official thread and used the latest sdk23 arm64 version obviously.
I mainly need the modules "Youtube Adawy" and "Youtube background playback".
But for the sake of testing if the issue is a result of incompatibility I also installed the modules
"PinNotif" and "SlideBack".
None of them worked.
The UI of "SlideBack" seemd to work properly while the UI of Youtube Adaway said that the app was not actived, even tho i tried it several times.
The log file read "cannot read log/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/log/error.log: open failed: ENOENT" so i created the missing txt file and gave it - rw rw permissions.
Does anyone has a clue what causes this problem?
greets

Exactly I am also facing the same problem.
Same here
Can we have a thread to get the Cubot Max working with Xposed? A 500+ page general thread is difficult to follow. Thanks!
Success!
I did it! This is what I did.
The problem is that there is a firmware error which affects a number of MTK6735 phones and stops Xposed from working. You have to install another module called grorkmod first, but this will not work if you have previously tried to install Xposed. So what I did was set the phone back to its initial state (after backing up data etc.).
1. Download the Custom TWRP and the Cubot Max official ROM from here:
mod edit: link removed
2. Unrar the official ROM, and, using SP Flash Tool, set to "Format and Download", Flash the ROM in full. You will now have an unrooted, untouched factory-set phone.
3. When I did this, the Firmware version (Build Number) was V04 — check this through your system settings as my phone originally arrived with Build Number V09. So, after unzipping the TWRP download, I had to use the older version of the Scatter file. So use SP Flash Tool again, and Flash TWRP and reboot the phone, you will have an unrooted phone but with TWRP installed. Do the usual stuff with becoming a developer and changing the necessary permissions.
4. Now you can transfer files to your phone's memory.
UPDATE-SuperSU-xxx,zip
grorkmod_v1.1+lite.zip
xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64.zip
XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk
5. Boot to Recovery, and, from TWRP:
(a) Install UPDATE-SuperSU-xxx.zip but do not reboot.
(b) Clear Dalvik cache etc
(c) Install grorkmod do not reboot.
(d) Install xposed — this time reboot.
6. Run your file manager and attempt to install the .apk file. If you are diverted to give permission for this, change the settings and do it again.
Hope this helps.
I have rooted and installed magisk in my note 10 pro and even though I see the update in the settings and can download it. The update doesn't get installed and opens the TWRP recovery which then just fails and restarts without installing the update. Is there any way that I can install the OTA update?

Previously, updates were downloaded to the / sdcard / downloaded_rom folder (if you look at the path from the phone) in the phone's memory, check in TWRP, if there is no firmware file there, then download the update from the website, load it into the phone's memory or a flashcard and update. After updating, without booting into the system, flash the archive using magisk and then boot into the system.

Instead of doing all of these things I was thinking of waiting a month or two and installing the pixel experience rom
