I am new to Mi 6 and I am thinking to root. But how frequent are the updates? I want to know so that I can decide whether to root now or not. And can you get updates after root?
One extra question is that you use odin for samsung phones to flash stock firmware, what you use for mi 6?
Thanks
Depends on ROM you are using. If it's DEV rom - updates are every week (thursday/friday). If it's global - updates are irregular, made in long intervals of time.
I, personally, am using xiaomi.eu dev rom (MIUI 9.1 v. 7.11.16), and I have rooted Mi6. After update you are losing root and you'll need to root again. So, answering your question - you can update safely even if you have root, but you will need to root again.
When I was switching from stock global to xiaomi.eu rom, I simply unlocked bootloader (if you have agreement from Xiaomi), flashed twrp, then flashed rom from zip. After that you have OTA updates so it's simple and easy.
If you want stock rom - I suggest using MiFlash tool.

Hey thanks man. So even with root and twrp I will get OTA updates? I am on global rom
Sure, you have to unlock the bootloader of your phone before you can install TWRP and root.
Then you can install whatever you want... MIUI Weekly ROMs, Stable ROMs, custom ROMs .. etc.

Hello guys,
I have just bought a Redmi Note 5 with MIUI 9.5.13.0(OEIMIFA). I would like to flash a custom rom over it. Is there a good tutorial to unlocking bootloader, flashing TWRP and then, a custom rom?
Also, is it advisable to upgrade to MIUI 10 before flashing a custom rom?
Thanks a lot in advance
no need to update to miui10 for unlocking and flashing any custom rom

if you want to install lineageOS then don't use formatDATA option in TWRP
please read it carefully, if you have any doubt then ask for help in desired custom rom threads
Hi,
I updated my phone a little while ago, and now im looking for flash a new rom to it, either pixel experience or an ASOP one.
Am I able to do so with the antiroll back?

Android version 9PKQ1.181007.001
Kernel 4.4.153-perf+
Bootloader is unlocked and i have TWRP, Orangefox and Magisk running on it at the moment.
Are there any roms I can look at?
Thanks
