Unable to change rom - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

hey guys, i got my mi 5 yesterday, and i am having a hard time switching from global 7.2.3.0 to any other rom.
current device : Indian mi 5, on 7.2.3.0 global stable rom + LOCKED BOOTLOADER
when i try to flash china stable or global dev rom using recovery method, it says couldn't verify package.
when i try to flash china rom using mi pc suite it says "ROM package's signature cannot verify"
i am really fed up of this current global stable rom and would like to switch asap, and hence i have also applied for unlocking my bootloader, but its gonna take some time.
please help me out.
thanks in advance

Try this ROM from Updater

I got that error once yesterday, then I moved the file to downloaded_rom folder and it flashed just fine. So maybe moving it once will work.

This is 6.5.20, Global Beta ROM. I don't know about difference per se but I flashed it yesterday from Global Stable and it worked. The flashing took a long time but it worked.

tried creating downloaded_rom folder, and tried to flash 6.5.19 but it says "couldn't verify package", gonna try with 6.5.20 again and let you know.
any other tricks to flash the rom? do i need to perform a factory reset ?

No, I did it just like that, no factory reset, no unlocked bootloader, no nothing. Just directly from Global Stable to this.

What I received on purchase almost a month ago was 7.2.2.0 which was suspended but then 1 Global Stable update came and I got to 7.2.8.0 but that got suspended too. Yesterday this Beta ROM showed up on the Chinese side of MIUI forum and I grabbed it quickly.

i think i am gonna give up on this phone, will wait few days for update, or i might give a final try after doing a factory reset, otherwise its hopeless.

It took REALLY LONG, maybe 30-40 minutes to an hour. But after that it's been the best ROM so far.

How to flash new ROM

Hello everyone! I am sorry if this is somewhere already been told but I could not find it..
I am buying Xiaomi Mi5, sealed box, with some Chinese ROM so I would need to flash some global ROM. As I am told the bootloader is open. What are my next steps?
1. Install TWRP?
2. Then install ROM?
Are there any instructions on how to do that? I have done that on my previous LG but that was long ago so I dont remember any more.
If you could help I would very much appreciate it!

sealed box = bootloader closed
1- Update to latest chinese dev rom, download from miui site and install through updater
2- open bootloader through MIUI tool, search online for it
3- install TWRP through cmd
4- I think you can now install non-miui roms, but personally I just wiped data and installed supersu and used the miui rom
I believe that it comes with open bootloader.
Installation through cmd is the same for any device? Is there any tutorial about it?
I just bought Mi 5 with China ROM (my first Xiaomi device). I was planning to install Global ROM but decided to give the China ROM a go. installed the MIUI v8 update, removed some unwanted Chinese apps, and installed Google stuff. Actually works very well and loving it so far. No issues at all. I recommend you give it a go if you want.
Otherwise I suggest you read these two threads on the official MIUI forums. Should give you the basics and all you need to install the Global ROM.
http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=106428
http://en.miui.com/thread-307744-1-1.html
Thanks man! I will give it a go!

i dont understand why you ask for answer, receive, but not the one you hoped and still saying its open..?
Since 1 year Miui only ships locked bootloaders, so when sealed its 100% locked.
Just try unlock through app/website: http://en.miui.com/unlock/
for tutorials, there are plenty on miui forum site, or here on xda
Good luck

first you need update to last miui version (stable or dev not problem at all) then unlock (bootloader) your device, after that download global fastboot rom, and flash using XiaoMiFlash.
but, before you flash to global. i want tell you 1 thing. this is my opinion,
Global rom is suck! rom base Chinese is great much more better on audio, camera and etc, except the rom only have 2 language chines and english, and you need manualy install gapps.
on my preference MIUI official rom is, China dev -> China Stable -> Global Dev -> Global Stable.
i don't know if this is related, but since we don't have sd card slot we have to leave the internal storage unwiped. And I like to wipe the entire phone when i flash a new rom. So my question is how do you wipe the internal storage and still have the files required to flash rom?

internal storage is not a single partition, the bootloader and recovery are in separate partitions and don't get wiped. What is deleted when you choose to wipe internal storage is only system, data, cache and (emulated) sdcard.

I recieved yesterday mi new MI5 64 Gb, with rom version MIUI 8.1.3.0
I´m trying to instal TWRP on my device but always recive the same error:
FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed)
and stops working
Is this issue related with the unlock of the mobile?
I applied for the unlock, but I recieved a sms and afterwards a new screen that I will recieve a new sms in some days, How long do I have to wait until they unlock it?
Best Regards

The first SMS with the code should be quick (you already have it, i understand).
The second is in most cases within a few hours, but officially can be up to 10 days.
After you received the SMS with permissions, you can try to unlock, but if that does not work, wait 24 hours (i had to wait a day before the permissions were 'connected' to my Mi account).

Firmware is MM-based, can you flash this after you installed beta 9, because this is N-based?

Nice but what do you fix. If it is only a message that is displayed at boot but has no negative effects what is the point of fixing.
In my opinion using firmware and modem from mm for n can't be a good match or let's say better.
I have no DM verity error and I have cb9 firmware and rooted

Why would you want to flash old firmware and modem, not made for this ROM, just to get rid of a pointless message?
Especially when there are other methods to fix this so called issue ...

Its a bug related cb9 firmware. U can use cb7 firmaware to fix it..
This makes sense. I was on open beta 8 for a few days
When I stumble across open beta 8 firmware + modem, I flashed it. Phone was working without issues prior to that, so I dont know what possessed me to do that because after that I began receiving dmverity message right after bootloader warning. I immediately knew it had to be the updated firmware/modem. Unfortunately I was unable to access twrp anymore. I ended up bricking my phone trying to revert this issue lol all is good now. I suggest you do not update to any firmware/moden newer than cb 7.

it's not a bug…just another warning for modified partitions.
No need to be "fixed" and don't think using mm firmware to replace n's is a good choice

Exactly I believe there is no point in flashing old firmware only if you can't wait for 5 sec.
If this was a bug oneplus would have pushed a patch out by now.

I never had that till now only after flash does not reboot.
In my opinion it is more a twrp incompatibility that will be resolved when N sources are out by oneplus

Don't even need to wait, just press the power button to skip it (same applies to first bootloader unlocked message).

it's easily avoidable (but the phone will be decrypted)
after flashing ob9 successfully and booting to system, reboot to TWRP (.28) and wipe convert data to f2fs then wipe it, then wipe internal storage (back up your data to your pc 1st)...and that's it, if you want root, reboot back to TWRP and flash root, then roboot to system, dmverity will be gone, and the phone decrypted,
(this will work if you started with a clean ob9 install like sideloading, and you ended with a full stock ob9)

Question cant get back yo stock from pixel experience ?

can someone help pleasae , i have pixel experience on my redmi note 10 pro and trying to go back to stock but its failing . when tring miflash the progress bar speeds to green in like 1 second and nothing is flashed and mi pc suite cant detect phone
whats best way to get back to stock please
Simple, do the same as for every other custom rom. Put your Stock rom on your sdcard and go into recovery(process as usual a full wipe), then install stock rom. You have to install TWRP/Pixel-Recovery again ofc.
Sorted it now . Thanks anyway . I had to delete a few lines of a batch file that was preventing rollback and did it in miflash

Xiaomi has implemented anti rollback to prevent switching to old builds. Recovery ROMs don't have this safety check but fastboot ROMs do have. Bypassing this might brick the device like many Note 5 pro owners bricked their devices by flashing older recovery rom which bypassed the safety check. If they'd have flashed fastboot rom their devices could have been saved.

Different question: Did you like the custom pixel rom? Is it worth to change it or should stick to stock rom? What issues you found there?
It's a good ROM the pixel ROM . Nothing up with it at all . I just felt I'd keep it stock . I didn't encounter any problems with it. Each to there own as they say . You may love it . Plenty of tutorials on YouTube reviewing it on note 10 pro

Yes, fine. ARB index should either be same or greater. Since it was same you're safe. All's fine. But be sure to check that index before doing this.
Thanks for that pal
ARB is not present with custom rom (aosp and miui) right ?

Question How to downgrade from Android 12 to 11?

Hi everyone,
I've flashed a new Mi 11 with the EU rom running MIUI 13 & Android 12 and now I want to go back to a rom running Android 11.
I flashed the rom using fastboot so I don't have twrp installed and now I'm on A12 I can't install it.
Can anyone suggest how I move to an Android 11 rom from this? As I've tried a few things and none of them have worked!
Many thanks...

download A11 fastboot rom (for example from xiaomifirmwareupdater.com)
flash rom through Miflash, before you click on "flash" select "clean all" in right botom corner...
do not use "clean all and lock", prevention against brick

I've found the right rom, but having a probelm with Miflash (I've not used it brfore).
I've downloaded it fine, but when run it asks for drivers to be installed then fails looking for them in 'log' dir. But there is no log dir in the package?

Yeah, found it worked on the root of E but then didn't like the dir name of 'T11 New'. The space threw it, but I guess being a dos bat file it would...
Odd thing, it took 568 seconds to 'complete' but then error-ed saying it flash isn't done with a 'No catch checkpoint' but the phones rebooted and appears to be working fine?
Can't help feeling the info on the download site should have more detail! But at least it done.

500-600 seconds is normal time...
that checkpoit was "lock", it is OK, because you didn't relock the bootloader

Just out of curiosity why did you rollback from miui 13 to miui 12.5.x, isnt it supposed to be more optimised than previous version?

Because MIUI 13 is just a commercial name... MIUI 13 is absolutely not ready, a lot of bugs and above all nothing change than A12/MIUI 12.5 to A12/MIUI 13.
It better to stoy on A11 AOSP or MIUI 12.5 for a Mi 11 user.

Nothing wrong with miui 13 as such, it was A12 that was the problem. None of the launcher I use will run under it (Poco/Mint) they just show black screen. Custom ring tones don't work and I've been using a number for years so I know whose calling/messaging. And theres's, so far, no way to install twrp. I'll probably go back to it once more apps become compatible, but not just now. . .
