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

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
OK, I need some clarification please. I just ordered the phone on Swappa and will have it soon but I would like to have a plan in place for reaching my goal...A rooted phone with TWRP (don't know about what ROM yet)
I'm not sure what software will be on this phone when I get it (EU or Chinese stock/dev) but does that make a difference when attempting to put TWRP on the phone? Also, are there still 2 separate versions or is there just one now?
Also in regards to the initial root and TWRP procedure is it not possible to have SU zip on your phone beforehand or does it have to be transferred from your computer while in TWRP? Finally, the verity no opt encrypt zip must be flashed regardless of whether you are rooting or not? Many thanks for any and all help!

Presently if you read max of the posts in major of the forums, you will find out there are three versions of ROM majorly (removing Chinese dev from the list as many don't seem to be on this) - If you are buying the phone from a reseller and not directly from xiaomi, mostly you will end up with Vendor ROM
1) Vendor ROM global (8.08.0 something version) which comes with very less bloatware and Google play services. Sometimes people said their bootloader was unlocked and for some its not. (mine was locked, so had to apply for unlock - It took 3 days to get the approval).
PLEASE NOTE THAT MANY TIMES THIS VENDOR ROM HAS A "NOTES APP" WITH TROJAN ON IT. MALWARE BYTES DETECTS THIS. HENCE I DECIDED TO GET OFF IT.
2) Chinese stable ROM - The official miui ROM. It has OTA updates but comes with bloatware and quite cumbersome to use for a non Chinese person like me or thats what I felt. If you really want to use Chinese stable (and still need google apps) there is a guide which is available some where in one of the forums, right now can't get hold of it somehow.
3) EU ROM (weekly updates - I believe to be done manually) - This one is so far the best I have used and very less bloatware (there is "Qunar travel" and one Chinese app that came with it. I simply uninstalled them blindly). Comes with google play services and you can download the rest from google store.
My journey so far is Vendor ROM --> Chinese Stable --> EU ROM (Non-root)
Why i didn't go directly from Vendor ROM to EU ROM is because
1) some of the users had issues with TWRP's touch non-responsiveness.
2) I want to see what is there on Chinese Stable before going to EU ROM, so that I can do a comparison.
For Vendor ROM to Chinese Stable use the guide below (by @satishp)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix/how-to/kindly-help-flashing-to-china-stable-t3528652
For Chinese Stable (or if you want to try from Vendor ROM directly to EU ROM) to EU ROM use the guide below (by @underlines)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix/how-to/guide-flash-global-china-rom-root-gapps-t3510592
Following the steps exactly in the above two guides, I was able to install EU ROM without any issues.

When you enable developer options on your phone and enable USB debugging, then I believe when you connect your phone to laptop/desktop it should connect using MTP and should be seen as device. So I guess you can copy the zip before hand on to the phone.

All the guides mention that whenever you want to install the EU ROM without root, the dm-verity is compulsory to flash before reboot.
Hope this helps!!. Enjoy your MIX.

Wow, thank you so much for that very thorough answer! I will be getting the phone tomorrow and my goal will be to get the EU Rom on my phone with TWRP and Xposed.
One more small question. So if I happen to get the touch screen freeze (in TWRP or after system reboot) how do you recover from this situation?

I believe you have to go to Chinese Stable then using MiFlash or install one more version of TWRP which is compatible with Chinese ROM and then other steps. (one of the guides mentions these too)
But my suggestion is simply follow the steps in both the guides, go to chinese stable and then to EU ROM. Its worth the 15 min extra effort as surely i can tell this will not have problems and I believe you can definitely got to root/xposed too finally.
There is a small typo in my previous answer (I corrected it now). Sincere apologies for the same.
Dm-verity is not needed if you are going to root. If you flash to EU ROM and don't want root, then install dm-verity. This is as per the guide mentioned in my last answer.
Hope this helps.
Hello,
I bought a 9T Pro in Europe for my wife and until it arrives I'm trying to research and come up with a low effort process of keeping the stock ROM up to date and rooted for her. I'm confident in manually installing and updating custom ROMs, rooting and dealing with custom ROM issues, but she is not. Therefore I thought the best thing is to use the stock ROM - not custom - since it may be the most stable experience and for me to update and re-root it for her regularly. root is mandatory because we need AdAway and other things. As I understand it, as soon as we unlock and root the phone, OTA updates for stock are impossible and maybe even dangerous. I've tried researching here but am bit struggling to come up with the right infos and I'd be glad for any advice.
Of course I have seen the great thread about unlocking, rooting, etc, but It seems that that deals with non-standard Chinese firmware pre-installed, which is probably not the case on our device. Since it's bought in Europe, I think it will probably come with some Global or EU ROM. And it doesn't answer some of my other questions.
So far my idea is roughly like this:
Phone arrives
Immediately update it via built-in OTA to latest official stock ROM
Unlock, install TWRP, root with Magisk
Use the phone
Whenever a new stock ROM comes out, download it from XDA
Flash new ROM in TWRP and root again with Magisk
Repeat 4-6 as new stock ROM versions are released
Of course regularly backup with Titanium Backup and TWRP
First of all, would this work or did I misunderstand something fundamental?
How does low level firmware / modem update come into play? Would that be included in the stock ROM packages I find here? Or do I need to manually update that separately? How do I know when I have to, since there is no custom ROM maintainer telling me when it's needed?
Is there an easier way of doing this? This process requires me to regularly check for a new stock ROM, then borrow the phone from the wife for some time to backup, update, re-root and so on. Not that convenient but it would work if there is no better way.
Sorry for the long post, but I'd be very thankful for any advice or ideas. I did quite some research, but if all this info is already available and I missed it, my sincere apologies. It's a lot of info about a new device to take in. :silly:

I didn't keep stock MIUI long enough to know definite answers, but from what I remember, this is my understanding.
OTA will still work and shouldn't cause any issues, just that you will lose TWRP and root whenever you do this.
The steps you give are the normal way to update with TWRP and root.
However, OrangeFox recovery (a heavily modified version of TWRP) is often used instead of TWRP in this circumstance. It is built specifically for MIUI devices and with a little bit of work, I believe that it is able to survive OTA updates. Have another dig around for OrangeFox in this forum section and hopefully you'll find details on how to set it up so that you can still take OTA updates.
Edit:
Found this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...efox-recovery-mi-9t-pro-t3980579/post80480669
It seems OrangeFox it's a bit hit and miss.
Also Xiaomi.eu ROMs are another alternative to look into.

Wow, that's a lot of helpful info, thanks a lot for pointing me into these directions. I will definitely look into Xiaomi.eu, I that sounds promising!
Get phone. Apply for unlock. Unlock.
You can use my guide bit.do/raphaelguide
Use orangefox 10.8 use magisk.
You can flash eu ROM. Stable version. From xiaomi.eu
Eu rom installs official twrp after install. You are familiar with that
Once you have eu ROM ( same as stock, better performance, minimal bloat, no ads, no tracking)
Eu ROMs gets OTA, keeps root. This is exactly what you want. Just press update in settings as normal ota. It'll do normal ota update by itself, no titanium, migrate hassle.
Join telegram group if you want or on me for any help.

Amazing, I have taken a look at Xiaomi.eu already and decided to try that. But what you're saying sounds even much better than what I expected. Thank you very much too, I will definitely go that route.
hi ,
i want to buy the mi11 pro from a chinese site .
they have the chinese version , but with this kind of roms :
CHINA Firmware = Saftynet Passed + OTA Updates + Widevine Level 1
XIAOMI.EU TWRP Firmware (unlocked) = Saftynet Passed + OTA Updates + Widevine Level 1
GLOBAL Firmware (unlocked) = Saftynet Failed + OTA Updates + Widevine Level 1
im so confused because im not an expert in these issues .
all i want for me is these things:
1. full support in hebrew
2. automatic future updates from xiaomi ...i dont want to search by self , i want to get it automatically , a massage tat an update is ready for me to install
3. google play store and all the google app , like chrome , drive , etc/
4. google pay and other payment
5. i dont want all the chinese app
which rom is for me?
what are the difference between the global and the eu roms?
and , what is the meaning of - "Saftynet Passed + OTA Updates + Widevine Level 1 ???"
thnx and sorry for the long questions
Safetynet passed is the google API which lets apps know if you are rooted or not.
Widevine is the DRM protection thingy that enables you to run DRM protected contect like prime or netflix.
Level 1 means full HD any resolution.
Level 3 is SD definition only.
The Xiaomi.EU has OTA updates so choose that.
OTA means over the air updates from Xiaomi. Meaning you'll get regular updates from Xiaomi.
Sounds like this phone is pre-rooted and pre bootloader unlocked.
but its written that all the roms are unlocked .
so , which rom will be suitable for all my needs that ive mentioned above , and the important is the multi language and google play ??? which one?
thnx

Uh, Xiaomi.EU if you want OTA updates.
Meaning update from Xiaomi.
So safetynet is a form of security, mostly used so you can work with apps like google pay safely.
OTA means you can get all the updates via wirelessly and automaticly with a press of a button, restart and its done. It also means you only get access to stable versions of your Rom in this case, and dont have access to manual beta roms every week from xiaomi.eu. If you do manualy you need to have a custom recovery like TRWP.
Wildvine l1 is for streaming content like netflix where you can use all the benefits of higher quality vídeo and audio but it works on every avaiable rom out there for now so no issues theres.
If you are starting and dont know how to work with any of it(installing recovery, roms, fixing issues), you have 2 good choices, either go for xiaomi.eu option if you live in europe and want their optimized version of the rom, minimal bloatware, more costumizability, or go for Global if you live in other places and including europe. Global is consider a all rounder and the safer rom to use if you dont know anything.
You can i install everything you want later if you decide to invest your time finding more about roms and if you decide to take that leap.
I bought mi 11 ultra chinese version so i can go through the all process of installing everything myself and also took less time shipping and less cost, but i have 10 years of experience if that counts for anything

Welp here is a more detailed version of what I said.
I personally think of SafetyNet, googles way of assuring their developers that people cant bypass the payment methods to get free stuff.
That's why root triggers banking apps and stuff.
thnx guys for your answeres . im very happy to be here . i have a technical and pc knowledge .
my aim is to cheack with you , according to the details i gave you from the store :
1. if the device im buying is already rooted and unlocked
2. if im from israel , which rom is relevant to me - eu or global?
3. which rom is multilanguage?
i really be happy to get direct answer to all of my questions , 1+2+3 , its very important to me to achieve this data for my next steps .
thnx and god bless you all
1. Yes they are
2. Dosent matter if you want, but global would be
3. They all support many languages.
1. so if im from israel , i have to choose only the global? only the global will work for me?
2. if the device is already rooted and unlocked , is it mean that he has already the "trwp" ?
Global will work yes.
TWRP is a custom recovery.

The EU custom ROM is flashed to the phone using a custom recovery. In this case it is twrp recovery. It is much easier to produce ROMs in this format than a fastboot method. There are one, may be 2 fastboot ROMs built by EU Devs before the twrp recovery was available. You could use one of those but any further updates would need you to install twrp recovery as the updates are in that format too.
Just consider it a function of changing from stock to Custom ROMs. It's very little work to do but it does give you a better experience and ota updates.
so by instaling the twrp ill be able to get automatically notification about any updates and instal it by clicking . am i right?
Background: I had a MI A3 earlier and after 1 year of usage and researching a lot on forums I went a step ahead to unlock the bootloader. This incident prompted me to install custom recoveries and ROM's. Everything was good until the Android 11 dropped and it started hard-bricking devices. Now I was on custom rom and hence not in a position to install the official update immediately, this saved me from the hard brick. After all the menace was cleared by Xiaomi and I had installed the official Android 11 update, and I wanted to go back to customization. I had heard a lot of news in the telegram channels and on forums like XDA that the Android 11 firmware was a complete mess for developers to make custom ROM's , even TWRP could not be installed. Even rolling back to Android 10 was not an option as unlocking the bootloader and flashing the fastboot rom would brick the device. Thus I gave up my hope on customization. Now I have got myself a Redmi Note 10 Pro Indian variant, and after a thorough research my hopes are up again for customization.
Now my question is whether an android version update[(maybe android 12)(now I am coming across Redmi Note series phones getting two major Android version update since the Redmi Note 8 Pro)] on my Note 10 Pro would affect my ability to install TWRP(or any custom recovery) after unlocking the bootloader and later installing Custom ROM's ???
I would also like to know whether the Note 10 Pro has ARB enabled?
