Database Develop

Can anybody clarify Firmware?

Sorry for being ignorant. I am new to the Mi 5 Development environment, here I see firmwares are necessary to flash custom Roms. This thing is new to me. Can anyone explain this thing briefly to me? Which firmware is necessary for certain custom roms? for example For marshmallow and Nougat. Also what in case of Miui based Roms? Thanks in advance.

For MIUI ROMs firmware flashing is not necessary as what we actually flash as firmware is actually a part of the MIUI ROMs while using other ROMs.
For other ROMs, firmware flashing is not always necessary,sometimes firmware is included in ROM zip,sometimes not.You have to read the OP and flashing instructions to know if its necessary to flash a firmware.
For an example,i have been using RR 5.8.0 unofficial for some days,i didn't have to flash the firmware zip,as it was included in the ROM.but 1 or 2 days ago,RR 5.8.1 official released,and firmware were removed from thw ROM zip to make it smaller.so if i want to flash the latest RR 5.8.1 on my phone now,I have to flash the firmware required though i didn't have to do it in the older builds.
Good luck.

You can have a look at this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/tool-flashable-firmware-twrp-easy-t3474898 ...very very informative.
Here some words from 33bca, the OP of that thread
<< zip includes all needed firmware files to switch between different firmware versions, since roms don't include firmware to use less space or they are not allowed to. It can also get really helpful if you want to restore a backup of an older rom which requires a different firmware. >>

Is there any MIUI 9 based ROm for Mi5?

Hi all
I really like MIUI over AOSP, and i was a Masik user in my mi5. Is there any MIUI 9 based ROM for the Mi5? I only find AOSP based roms, that i really dont like
Thanks in advance mates!

Xiaomi.eu has been the go-to "custom" MIUI for me, a new version is released every time an official Chinese dev MIUI is put out, I suggest you try it.

Like maddoka said, go for the EU version of MIUI. Is the chineese rom in english without any bloatware. Pure MIUI. I use it myself and is the best rom in any circumstances.

You can even test miuipro, here: https://miuipro.by/

Mi 6x MIUI ROMs without firmware [fw-less]

Mi 6x MIUI ROMs without firmware​​
We all know that Xiaomi added Anti roll-back to latest Stable/Beta ROMs (8.8.6 China Beta | V9.6.4.0 China stable) for (Mi 6x). Which means if you flashed an older fw/rom with a different (lower) anti version of your current one your device will be bricked!
Here I'll provide MIUI ROMs fully stock but without "firmware-update", to prevent any potential bricking while switching between Miui Based ROMs
This process is automated and provided as a part of Xiaomi Firmware Updater Project.
Firmware-less ROMs​Androidfilehost:
Stable/Developer Firmware-less ROMs
Notes:
After flashing any of the builds above you can't go and flash FULL Miui ROMs to downgrade, just stick to my modded versions if you want to use older MIUI builds
No matter which Anti you have, you can flash any of those ROMs with TWRP
Those ROMs doesn't affect your phone bootloader in any way, so you can roll back to your old ROM after Flashing any of the above builds
One more time, those ROMs won't remove or change your anti.
Again, if your phone is anti 4, you can't just simply go and flash FULL older ROM, even after flashing Modded builds, so stick with my builds
Anti 4 users can flash any of those builds just fine
[*]All the notes Above applies for My Modded builds only, do go and share it as facts for all Miui ROMs

General I found The solution of the touch screen

Hi guys as we know Redmi 9t comes with tow Types of touch panels one of them is NVT-Ts which doesn't support Custom Roms, i found this kernel that support NVT-Ts and it works almost on any rom , that's the link of the kernel https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rdHdhVSWCE_8EyTkr8EOKoWTTsS94zG_/view?usp=sharing
flash it after you flash your custom rom and after that format your data and reboot and enjoy
thanks for the developer who made this possible

Hi. You test it this kernel ? Is safe to install it ? What roms do you use/ have tried ? Thx. I have the same type of screen and phone is detected as lemon not lime and i didn't get the 11 EEA rom yet even it is official released for lime in EU.

U can use miui.eu, it works good.

Hi. Can you provide a link with the rom you installed please ? Thx. For custom recovery do you need a special tipe of stable rom (a standard original rom from xiaomi but modified for custom recovery) or it is working with any stable/beta rom from xiaomifirmwareupdater.com like this: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/lime/stable/V12.5.2.0.RJQEUXM/
And other thing, i must wipe cache, davlink or data from PBRecovery before or after i install android 11 or i don't need to do that ? Now i'm on android 10 MIUI:V12.0.12.0.QJQEUXM and no OTA to 11 yet. Thx.

I forgot one thing - before installation of miui,eu, You have to first install via fastboot A11 rom.
A11 rom - https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/lime/stable/V12.5.4.0.RJQMIXM

Thx for links but if my phone is recognized as lemon and not lime (like in rom description) how it will flash in fastboot ? I don't want to get me some errors and possible (or sure) brick my device. That screen type ruins everything on this phone...lucky me. Thx again.

My phone is also lemon.

We're all refreshing like there is no tomorrow...

Indian rom works fine, wonder what the difference are? Extra languages?

I don't know but they're usually separate ROMs. I will wait for the EU or Global version.

Did you clean wipe before flashing?
India ROM should not have anymore Chinese apps....obviously won't make sense for them

Last time I installed a global ROM I didn't need to do any of this. Simply downloading the ORIGINAL OnePlus file and doing a manual upgrade from the phone settings fully replaced the original Chinese ROM with the Global one.
