Only unofficial ROMs? - Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers

Hello.
I have a question.
Why there is no official ROMs for Mi 6 like LOS, RR etc?
Mi 6 is a such great device in attractive price.
On forum i see only unofficial ROMs.
This is the only reason that discourages me from buying, because i dont like MIUI.
Thanks for answers.
Cheers.

Wow, after 6 months? Other phones have better support of custom ROMs with the same specification, but Mi 6 not. Probably, It is one of the most popular phone from Xiaomi.
No one can say the real reasons for poor support for this phone...

Mi5s got official lineage after 8 months, but also the kernel wasn't released until then...
You have to keep in mind that the work on custom ROMs are totally on their spare time.
I own mi note 3, it hasn't even got a own thread on XDA yet hopefully it will come

I'm getting either one soon. Which one would be better you think? Mi 6 or Mi Note 3? I'm looking for more active development of ROMs.

As of now, mi6 has the most active, but it has also been around since june last year. Hopefully mi note 3 will have development starting soon too since kernel was recently released.

Edit. I'm very pleased with my note 3. It's fast and good batterylife. I have unlocked it and are now running miui.eu stable Maybe when aicp and ressurection remix start developing for it I may start modding. Now there is couple of miui roms, lineage inofficial and mooke rom nightly to choose from. That I know of...

There is literally no reason to choose an official ROM over an unofficial one...
Why do you want an official ROM? Just because of the word "official"?
Do you think these have to be more stable? Do you think these are better in any way?
Unofficial ROMs DON'T have any disadvantages over an official one! I don't get it why everyone is crying for official ROMs...

Official ROM has chance to send new updates via OTA. Just some convenience in case the user is still scared to fiddle around with TWRP.
But there was also a case back then the OTA causes bootloop in LG G2's LineageOS 14. Users were told to flash the zip in TWRP.

Official roms are starting to appear, just give it some time. The delay is due to Xiaomi releasing the source code not long time ago

Lineage OS 14.1 should be coming in a week or so (if everything goes well)

[Q] When Cm13 for Z1 Compact?

I want to install the Marshmallow, but on this model is only very unstable AOSP 6.0. When someone try to compile cm od Z1c? Sorry for my bad English.. i hope someone understand me?
CM is based on the AOSP code. So as long as we don't have a stable AOSP we won't have a stable CM.
But there is a problem.. aosp 6.0 project is discontinued...

I'm fairly certain it isn't, because sony actually maintains AOSP for amami. It isn't currently working(I've tried building it myself, with no success yet) stock, but some people already got it working: http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...sony-xperia-z1-compact-android-6-0-1-t3272414
AFAIK, they've even got their sources for Amami in the upstream AOSP!
I'd estimate a first mostly-working nightly for the next 3 months. (Other, quite familiar devices already got working CM13, AOSP MM has been seen on our device as well)
Disclaimer: I'm not a CM developer!
So there is any hope ?

No. Currently no network functionality, (mobile, Wi-Fi, BT), as far as I can tell. That's probably the case in all MM builds for Z1c right now. Stay tuned...
Are there any progress in the android 6?

Tested 1/12 build today from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/rom-vaniraosp-t2874690 - boots and looks good, but still no network or camera functions. Probably the same across the board with AOSP for now. Stay tuned.
I would prefer android 6, Android 5.1 have

When you install rom that was posted earlier, you will have update to 6, but WiFi and Camera not working yet :/ we must wait for updates and the waiting time won't be short

You're not alone guys. I'm waiting too for good and stable ROM based on Marshmallow, with everything is working including camera, but we may still wait a long time till we get it done.
But tbh my stock android 5.1.1 with some custom modification is very neat.
I'm only waiting for 6.0 cuz it have build-in app permission, battery optimization and all new sd-card app installing without 3rd party app such as Link2SD.
Other then that the 5.1.1 is more then enough for me.

Will a new g4 bootloop on custom ROM?

Hi I'm considering buying a g4 but these bootloop threads are a real bummer lol, will the phone bootloop if I unlock n put an aosp ROM on the first day?
its an hardware problem, it might increase its lifespan but I dont think it will matter that much.
So even the newestnmodels with hardware rev 1.1 and an above 600 have this issue?
Newest are bootloop free. Noone reported bootloop on 603+

[Q] Anyone Bootlooped on Stock Android 6.0.1?

Hello XDA community!
As the title says, I would like to ask you if anyone faced the bootloop issue while he/she was on Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 stock (no root, no rom, etc.)
More information provided about the problem would be apprieciated.
Have a nice day,
khalifakk
See bootlop megathread on reddit, there are people who bootlop on Marshallow.
Doesn't matter what version of OS you're using, it's a hardware bootlop not software. But it's not ensure that your phone will bootlop, it may happen or not.

Dear Dominoss,
Thanks for your reply, I already saw a couple of threads about the bootloop issue but only found few posts about MM, anyway I already know about the hardware problem I just want to know how frequent it happens to MM users.
Yours,
Khalifakk

@nijel8 said: "...No reliable recovery - no rom development..."
At the moment unfortunately we have no a 100% reliable recovery.
Nijel8's and Chinese Modded are moderately good.
I have to say RedWolf, PB and OrangeFox are "ne'er-do-well" at the moment.
So, we hope a full reliable recovery...then we will get custom ROMs.

OrangeFox works perfect! New build yesterday...
Ok. I will see.
Early build could not install the "only one" custom rom (xiaomi.eu).
小米MIX标准版4GB128GB银色MIUI10中国开发者8.12.25
There is no need for custom roms. We already have Treble support.
More we need custom kernels.
Nothing to see here...

LineageOS 16 need bootloader version 3 or above

I have a SM-A7050, successful install TWRP, but when I try to flash LOS 16.zip file(I am taking the LOS16 build before LOS 17 development start.) It say I must require a bootloader version 3 or above. And I try software update (now running A7050ZHU5ATA2).
I don't know what can update bootloader.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a70/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3968893
You must downgrade bootloader (now you have v5).
It's not possible.

2. It is possible to flash custom firmware if someone update until OEM discountinue?
