Hi everybody,
I ordered my Mi 5x that should be here in less than a week. I've seen there is guides to Root it, install TWRP and potentially put custom roms on it (I've seen a few ones around).
But I was wondering if it's possible to install a Stock Android 7.1 rom on the Xiaomi Mi 5x? Could not find any article or post talking about that (sorry if I missed it).
If not is there a list of custom roms for the Mi 5x somewhere?
Thanks and have fun with your day!
/////////////////////// 10/26/2017 UPDATE (for those who just got there from google searchs) ///////////////////////
It happened thanks to heli0us from en.miui.com and @[B]Aex12[/B] who ported Mi A1 Android One Rom to Mi 5x. Works like a charm.
Last version [7.10.14] can be downloaded and flashed from here ⇩

BUT you'll need to unlock your bootloader and flash TWRP for Tiffany first though.

Probably the ROM from the Mi A1 will work in the Mi 5X. It's the same phone.

Yeah just saw the release of that one. That would be really awesome. Like having a Nexus for 200€ (with 64gb of memory, 4gb of RAM and a Snapdragon 625).
For sure. There are some buzzing that the Nexus is back. [emoji23][emoji41]

I hear you dude, I ordered the Mi 5x basically 4 days before the announcement of Mi A1 release.
bootloader cant be unlocked at the moment
...And now they are stopping people from unlocking the bootloader.
You can find a sticky post about it on the english miui forum complaints/advice subforum titled "Important Announcement About Unlocking Bootloader For Mi 5X & Redmi Note 5A"
which says:
In order to enhance our mobile security, the unlocking mechanism for the following devices is being updated currently. The affected devices are Mi 5X and Redmi Note 5A/Prime. During this period, Mi 5X and Redmi Note 5A/Prime owners won't be able to unlock the device. Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. Sorry for any inconvenience caused and we'll update you guys soon.
That was posted 16th Sept and was the last that was heard about it.

Mi 5x and android A1 is same hardware phone but different by internal memory partition and a few things. Bu we can use A1 modified but pure none touched system resource ROM in our Mi 5x. Already relesed.
With the impossibility of unlocking the bootloader there's no option of flashing the Mi A1 ROM. We need to wait.

Try now, unlocking process will be success now. My friend did yesterday.
Yeah. Well I guess that would be true if I could unlock my stupid bootloader... I feel like mi 5x users are not receiving much love from Xiaomi...
EDIT : oh wait apparently it reopened for some Russians users! Gonna try it!

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to all this, so forgive my ignorance. I have a Xiaomi Mi 5 with their gloabl MIUI 7 rom installed, unfortunately I really dislike it, it's really buggy, things crash regularly, very poor if i'm honest. I was wondering if it was possible to flash stock nougat onto this phone, no MIUI or anything like that, just the standard google release?
Thanks.
Here you go AOSP
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/jdcteam-android-source-project-nde63x-t3507529
it depends if your phone is unlocked or locked, by the way you can try updating your miui 7 to 8, since it's already old.
you can see a lot of ROMs in the development section

I just bought myself an amazing Mi Mix. I just don't understand why nougat is not available yet for our phones but they are planning to upgrade it to Oreo. Anyone knows of we will get nougat or just jump to Oreo on the Mi Mix and any eta?

Mine is on Android 6 and no OTA updates
Have a look here if you'd like nougat on your device, imho you will definately want to get rid of MIUI.

To be honest,I am disappointed in Xiaomi even Meizu is pushing updates faster in their budget mNote series it's been quite a while since MIUI9 only on developer rom only [emoji22][emoji22]

I thought with a phone with those specs and the high price, Xiaomi would be a little faster to push updates and keep it up to date but like every other brand, they want you to buy their latest model. They want your money and then you are left behind

Hi All , understood that this phone model from Xiaomi is still hot from the oven *new .

All good things come to those who wait. Technically, it will be easer to configure a TWRP build for the A2 Lite since there are already Xiaomi specific official TWRP builds for devices that use the same SOC. It is still IN the oven, by the way. Other than a pre-release order from Ali or Gearbest (and good luck with customs duties on those) most Xiaomi outlets (at least that I can find here in the EU) seem to not have received a release date, yet.
Patience, Jedi.
TWRP would be a bit difficult to port (let alone compile) without the factory images, and who knows when Xiaomi will release those. We could also use a one click root tool (spyware) to pull the factory images directly from the device. Only issue is it is total spyware and you'll need to flash factory over it to remove the spyware (which we dont have). So best chance is to wait for someone to get the factory images, then we can easily port TWRP.
thanks for the advise guys. appreciate.. then.. wait for the twrp it is.
Mi A2 is the same as MI6x.
In China,we already have twrp unofficial

For an android one device Mi A2 has almost non existent development, no custom roms, kernels e.t.c. is it too hard to develop for this device or not enough Devs has got mi a2?

Same thought. Or is Mi A2 not really worth buying? ?
Hi,
Since the Mi a2 is treble compatible, you actually don't need a strong development community to run custom tomorrow anymore. Go simply with a Generic System Image

The device has literally been out for one month and the kernel sources have been released just last week. Do you have any idea how long a custom rom takes? Also no one want s to develop a 8.1. rom when there is pie just around the corner for our device.

I'm interested also in Pixel Experience, we can try the GSI but it haven't received any updates since the last month. And for gcam, you can try any Mi 9T version, the camera modules are exactly the same

Will have pixel experience yes, have patience because already has devs working on trees for the device, already has roms being made but need corrections.
