Hello everyone
I just bought 2 xiaomi MI5 phones, one for me and one for my girl. Both are the 32GB versions with 3 gb ram, one gold one normal. I bought them from 2 different vendors in bucharest (because of the color, of course).
Now, the issue is this:
- gold phone has MIUI global 7.3.4.0.0 (MAACNDD) stable
- black phone has MIUI by xiaomi.eu version 7.8.11.0 (MAACNDB) stable
I lokked out this 2 versions and i found out that they are not official also they have some crazy **** apps like 9apps and mobomarket and a weird keyboard.
Now i tried to update the gold versions to the latest version and says no update available via the iupdate manager from settings. Same to the black one.
The gold one has an signal issue with Telekom Romania and the black one has a masive WLAN battery drain (43% ?!). I google the WLAN battery drain and found a related post from Redmi note 3 that said it's some kind of ROM issue that masks another app that is usign the phone like hell.
I applied for the unlock from Xioami, now my question is:
Should i wait for the unlock and add the latest stable official update or go to another rom (before i had note3 and S5 from samsung and rooted them both)?
If your advice is to go to another rom, do i need to wait for Xiaomi to unlock the devices or it s a go without it?
Look forward for some help, i really love this phone, is perfect for me and my needs.
Best regards
Mihai

Hi,
First of all, I don't own mi5, but I had the same problem when I purchased my Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon version)
It was loaded with unofficial MIUI ROM
(you can figure if it is unofficial or not by checking the version, OFFICIAL ROMS are MIUI x.x.x.x and UNOFFICIAL ROMS are MIUI x.x.x.x.x or so I was told)
So, my phone came with locked bootloader, the same as yours as I understand.
Problem with locked bootloader is I can't install ROMs or custom recoveries from fastboot.
Flashing OFFICIAL ROMs I downloaded from their official website using Updater App is a no no either, since I was on unofficial build (the updater app always return can't verify package error everytime I try to flash official ROM)
So the last resort seems to be applying to permission for unlocking bootloader ....
Until I found out that it is possible to flash OFFICIAL ROMS from fastboot without unlocking bootloader.
The trick is going to EDL (download) mode when you're in fastboot using ADB. After you're in EDL you can use mi flash tool to flash official flashboot ROMs.
You can search the forums for how to do that, and since I don't own mi5 I never tested it, but from what I understand the mi5 have EDL mode, just like Redmi Note 3 Pro, because it is Qualcomm thing.
I was able to get back to official ROM with this method much sooner before my permission was granted (took 8 days before I got approved).
And please remember above method only if you want to go back to official build, don't flash custom ROMS (idk if that's possible) at least until you got your bootloader unlocked, flash custom recovery (twrp) then from there you can install custom ROMs.
Hope this help
Cheers.

Glad you've gotten it sorted, should have MIUI 8 now too as that's available, great phones once you get the vendor crap from them, mine (Mi5 Pro White 128GB) was the same purchased from EGlobalCentral
So I have reviewed the excellent threads on unlocking, installing TWRP and rooting the Mi Mix.
Including these
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix/help/to-getting-mi-mix-t3504613
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix/how-to/guide-flash-global-china-rom-root-gapps-t3510592
I've also reviewed http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix/development/recovery-official-twrp-xiaomi-mi-mix-t3498960
The problem I can't get around is frozen screen TWRP. I assume I have a TWRP/ROM mismatch as I have no issues with Minimal FB/ADB and actually flashing TWRP. But no combination that I have tried has given me working TWRP.
Any advice or recommendations would be vastly appreciated.
Just to be clear, I have unlocked the boot loader, I have Developer mode and USB Debugging activated. I have tried this with the most recent CN Stable (8.0.11.0) and CN DEV (6.12.8) ROMs and I have tried both TWRP 3.0.2 AND 3.0.2-RC1
Frustrated as this device is near perfect, I just need to get rid of the crapware and make a few Root requiring tweaks
Thanks

If you're on the latest EU ROM (weekly updates),you need the latest (EU) TWRP RC2 (link is in the OP) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix/development/recovery-official-twrp-xiaomi-mi-mix-t3498960
Read the entire thread if need be,you'll see myself & others had the frozen TWRP on the Dec2 EU ROM (weekly) update & it was remedied by the RC2 update to (EU) twrp
If you're running anything else,IDK,I switched to the EU ROM ASAP & haven't looked back,it's gonna be my daily driver until CM 13/14 (hopefully) becomes available.

Thank you brother. I saw you posts when you mentioned having the same problem. Unfortunately I'm having this issue on the CN Stable ROM. Can I install the EU Weekly through the Installer app on the MIX? Or do I have to use the MIFlash tool?

@RMXO had a similar issue when stuck w/an unresponsive TWRP & managed to get his phone/TWRP functional again before @jcadduono updated the EU TWRP.
Take a look at @RMXO's posts in that thread on how he got back to a working TWRP.

I'm starting to wonder of the current CN Stable TWRP is unable to work with 8.0.11.0 much like the problem you had and RMXO had with the last EU release. I had backup of the stable CN ROM that works for me for now, but I'd really like to get Adaway and Titanium Backup working

I had China stable 8.0.11.0 and I managed to get it working, you need to use built-in updater and download EU rom manually and put it in your device. Then use the updater to update. I had to do it twice as first time i still got China stuffs which i didn't wipe. So if you have problem, update it once to EU, then wipe/factory reset the phone and flash again to make sure it's all clean.
A good indicator of success will be google play store, after flashing EU rom, if you don't see google play store, it means you have to wipe and flash again.

I tried to manually install the EU Rom (xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMix_6.12.8_v8-6.0.zip) through the Installer and I received a "can't verify" error. Is this the EU ROM you mean? If so did you have to do anything special to get it to flash?

I've used nothing but TWRP to install ROMs on this device,once for the initial switch from the Global (vendor) ROM to the EU (weekly) ROM & twice to update the EU ROM.
FWIW,my MIX was bootloader unlocked out of the box.

Hi all,
I just got my Mi MIX today (6gb version). I have been trying to get TWRP and SuperSU working on it, then flash the EU rom. During this process, my TWRP has become unresponsive. At the same time, my Wifi cannot be enabled. (I am installing EU rom because my Google Play Store download speed was throttled, and I could not find the option in Mi App Store to disable)
I am hoping that someone has a stock recovery I can flash, or knows how I can revert to stock. I have ADB and Fastboot installed.
I have tried re-flashing TWRP, and it does not work. I have also tried Fastboot -w to see if it helps. It instead shows me the screen asking to write to system again, instead of the main menu like before.
Any help is very appreciated! :crying:
go read the entire detailing how to install xposed, twrp, etc others have had similar things happen and there are instructions on what to type in fastboot to fix. just read the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix/how-to/guide-flash-global-china-rom-root-gapps-t3510592/page1
The OP in this thread has a comprehensive run through of how to install TWRP, EU ROM and root with Su. I suggest using the EU TWRP from the beginning as we found that it works best with the CN Stable ROM (8.0.11.0) .
Don't forget to root

I'm having the damnest time trying to get TWRP installed.
I've installed ROMS before on my galaxy notes, so I'm not a total noob.
I'm well aware that the TWRP version needs to match the ROM version.
I'd LIKE to get the EU rom installed. Here's what I've tried:
Custom Roms: Need installation via TWRP, which I can't get working.
Miflash: Keeps looking for *.bat files, which don't seem to exist in the ROMS i'm downloading
Updater app - won't install EU rom, saying: "It's not allowed to upgrade to unofficial ROM package".
I successfully used this to install chinese developer to 7.1.20 at the official link: http://www.miui.com/download-323.html
For some reason TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-0-lithium.img) still doesn't work, I can't swipe right or anything at the boot screen.
Incredibly frustrated right now!
Only way for me to get EU ROM installed was to flash it while on Global Stable Chinese with TWRP.
I've done it twice and realize that it's the only way to get any unofficial ROM installed.
After flashing EU ROM TWRP (rc1 or rc2) had the unresponsive touch screen problem. I solved it by using another version from a Chinese guy. Different UI but same functionality. Always working.
Check this guide. Part 4 has the link and instructions for the recovery I'm talking about.

Got it going, followed instructions/roms as per:

That post contains a miflashable rom (7.1.12) and the matching TWRP.
The combination of those two worked great.

Since the version 7.1.19 there is trwp issue with global and some custom rom. I can explain why I did to install my custom rom (Im currently using epic rom) : so in order assume that your bootloader is unlocked, you download the fastboot rom for mi mix and unzip it, then you install it directly by using the fastboot script (you choose at your convenience) on the unzipped folder (it take about 5-10mn). After that you will be able to install the right trwp ( I tried global and eu both worked) and enjoy with a custom rom.
If you have any question don't hesitate.

Hi everyone, sorry for my bad english.
I have a Redmi K20 Pro (chinese phone from Rakuten sent to France) with 11.0.3.0 Global Rom (QFKINXM) with an UNLOCKED Bootloader.
I would like to install TWRP (for root) and magisk (to hide root).
When I've bought the phone, i had a 9t Pro Rom installed. I've tried to install TWRP and magisk and I soft bricked it...
So... I've reflash an old Global K20 Pro ROM (not 9T Pro) and update it via OTA.
Now I'm in 11.0.3.0 Global with the good phone name (K20 pro).
I would like to know wich version of TWRP and Magisk I must flash.
Maybe one from this thread?

Yep the latest unofficial in your link should work on all regardless. If I'm not mistaken you're on the global indian version for K20 pro?
Hum... I don't know... How can I see that ?
"if it's the first time you flash the TWRP or you are getting problems of TWRP lost or device doesn't boot after flashed magisk or something else you need to flash a modified vbmeta:

Must I flash VBMETA ?

You shouldn't normally need to flash vbmeta, if you are going to install Magisk. You should be OK, if you boot immediately to TWRP after flashing, then flash Magisk.
Also look at Orange Fox recovery, if you are sticking with MIUI. It has extra features specific to MIUI, such as OTA survival and in-built debloat tools, amongst other things.
If you don't need the extra features, then stick with the mauronofrio's TWRP.
For Magisk, just go with the latest official build.
I tried to flash Twrp many times but every attempt failed... Orange Fox is no problem, but I like Twrp more. The phone isn't booting up after flashing Twrp... Has anybody a solution for this problem?
Gesendet von meinem Mi 9T Pro mit Tapatalk
Ok I will try Orange Fox. But could I install Magisk to hide root with Orange Fox ? Moreover, must I boot to Android before flashing Magisk or must I flash it immediatly after the Orange Fox install ?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT : all tutos I've found tells that I must install TWRP before Orange Fox... But I can't install TWRP without soft brick...

wait wait wait....
Umm, if you haven't gotten a fix yet.
You're saying you got k20p china model (RCN) with global rom (RGL rom) and it is using Indian Vendor (RIN vendor).............. dude.... why.
Anyways, can I just suggest you move to EU ROM latest stable. Its a lot less hassle, seriously.
I mean AOSP is great too. but if you want miui, EU just skips all the problems.
Also, to fix your problem.
Find out what phone you have first, then get the latest updated vendor for it.
Use mauronifroi's TWRP img file and flash it via cmd on your PC. then use orangefox.
Just flash the latest stable magisk zip file 20.3
My Guide should fix everything you have. you mix and matched 3 things lel, no wonder something is soft-bricking. Use my guide, or text me on telegram

Then, how can I know exactly the rom I have. It's just written "11.0.3.0 Global Rom (QFKINXM)" on my phone.
I seem to have an Indian phone with an indian rom but I'm not ure. All works perfectly and in french but I don't pass the Safety check from Google.

download cpu-z app on play store, and check if somewhere there is ,,raphael'' or ,,raphaelin'' so we can be sure
Thanks. CPU-Z says me "raphaelin"... So... Indian phone with an Indian Rom I suppose.

You speak English well.
Right, so on my guide link.. scroll down to the 3rd comment, and you'll find a guide that says HOW TO KNOW WHAT DEVICE I HAVE. and check the box.
I'm just assuming whoever sold it did not change the boxes as well.
anyways, on the back of the phone, if it says REDMI it's either an Indian k20p or a Chinese k20p. If it has MI written on it. Your phone is Mi 9tp.
download the DRM info app from the play store. If your widevine is L1, you have the Indian variant confirmed.
If your widevine is L3, you have the china variant probably (or the Indian variant and screwed with the widevine, and you may get it back depending on what the manufactures did. Iff it shows L3, it's a decent chance its the china version)
another sure-fire way is checking if NFC works. The Indian variant does not have NFC hardware chip at all., whereas the china version does.
for now, move to EU, and we can slowly work on which exactly if you are hell-bent on know what you got.
The CPU-Z will show raphael/raphaelin based on your vendor. I have raphaelin, but I am using EU rom, which uses modified china vendor, so my CPU-Z app shows raphael and not raphaelin
btw, if you are so self-conscious about your English, download the chrome extension called grammarly., and Enable it. That'll help your English dramatically by underlining your grammatical mistakes. I use it all the time, and for making sure my posts are grammatically sound.
I'm on telegram as sandeeep, you can text me there if you want to.
Thanks everyone.
I have a chinese version (winedev L3 and NFC and K20 written in the back), good for me and Netflix ! And everyone works perfecly on my phone.
So... I will try to backup as many things as possible and retry to flash TWRP. If it's failed I will flash an EU Rom et retry the TWRP flash.
Sandeeep Kiran, I will telegram you if I have problems. Thanks a lot guy !

Hopefully this is the last time to back up and restore the phone.
Go here and get the latest EU fastboot ROM
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphael/
It's labelled Global EEA - currently version 11.0.3
Install it with this guide
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
If you see a blank page on a mobile phone, change the browser to desktop mode to view it.
IMPORTANT
In the guide at step 4, after unzipping the ROM delete the file clean_all_lock.bat - This will stop you accidentally bricking the phone.
In step 5 make sure you change the option at the bottom to clean all, before hitting the flash button (see the photo in the guide)
You need to boot into MIUI once before flashing anything else.
After initial set-up of MIUI, boot into fastboot and flash the latest TWRP from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568
Currently 3.3.1-32 is the latest.
After flashing TWRP, while you are still in fastboot mode, type
Code:
fastboot reboot
Now as soon as you hit enter, pick up the phone and press and hold the volume up button. Keeping holding volume up until the phone boots into TWRP.
Download the latest Magisk from here
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
(It's a good idea to also download the uninstaller file too, just in case you need it)
With the phone now in TWRP and connected to the PC, copy the Magisk installer to the phone, then flash it with TWRP.
You should now have the latest EU ROM with TWRP and Magisk successfully installed, so reboot to MIUI and check Magisk is working.
Then reboot to recovery and check TWRP is working.
I apologies for my bad French. :laugh:
