Hey guys,
I bought my phone at Bestgear. When I check the version of my rom I get 8.2.16.0.0. Is this ok? Because on xiaomi.eu I cannot find this version. It's very confusing.
Yes, it's a fake rom.
Just flash an stable or developer china version and then install xiaomi.eu
But I don't understand. What should I do exactly, can you give me a precise procedure? Why would gearbest send me a phone with a fake rom?
To know what to do, try searching the following exact string on google, between quotes:
"All-in-one Guide Compilation On How To Flash Xiaomi.eu Roms On Your Mi5s", you should find a page on xiaomi.eu or en.miui.com.
The process is easy, but if you have absolutely no experience ask for a help.
About the fake ROM, there is still no official global ROM, so resellers put cooked ROMs with additional languages plus gapps (generally required from people outside China) and only god knows what else.
I have no experience with this. To whom should I ask for help?
I have found the guide you mentioned I will try to apply this process. However, could you tell me what does it mean when we say there is no global rom? I will have the phone in Chinese? Or at least in English too?
Thanks a lot for your help and patience.
Xiaomi release its stable and developer ROMS in two more versions: china and global.
The china versions have english and chinese languages.
Also the global versions have eng. and chn. lang. also but also more or less all the languages of the countries where xiaomi officially sells or supports a particular model.
If you go to Mi5S (no plus) http://en.miui.com/download-314.html you'll see that there are only china roms, while for Mi5S Plus http://en.miui.com/download-315.html there are also the global counterparts.
On the guide you'll find that the last step is flash xiaomi.eu ROM.
This is not an official ROM, but is created from the official chinese version. They add more languages, gapps and they do some optimizations beside removing those chinese apps that are not useful for people living outside China.
*I think* that Xiaomi uses their repository to get the translations to build their global versions.
If you follow the guide, is up to you which step to follows.
For example, if you are ok with official china because english is fine for you and you like chinese apps, you can follow just step #1 and #2, and on step #2 you have to choose between stable (less frequently updated about monthly, less new features, less new bugs) and developer (updated weekly with all the new features and bugs), and you should choose for stable.
I you want to install xiaomi.eu you have to follow step #1, #3 and #4. The step #2 is optional, but in this case get the same version (dev/stable) that you are going to use on #4.
Thank you for your help! I think I will try tonight if I have time.
Two more questions if you don't mind :
If I choose Chinese rom, will I be able to install manually and easily the playstore? And with titanium, will I be able to freeze the Chinese apps?
Secondly, if I do the next updates from the phone, will that close by bootloader again?
Thanks!
Mind that selecting English in Chinese official ROM for Mi5s will get your UI to Engish, true. But there will be so much annoying CHinese everywhere that it's pretty much useless to non-Chinese users. If you open App store everything's in Chinese. And that one is rather crucial if you'd like to install Google apps. So anyway. Apply for unlock, put TWRP on your device and flash xiaomi.eu ROM. It seems a complicated process but it's not really. And this specific ROM gets rid of much of Chinese stuff albeit removing strings only (i.e. Wallpaper carousel categories are only represented with images instead of their names as well). Anyway. But until XiaoMi releases a Global ROM for Mi5s we have no hopes of ever getting kernel sources which will allow developers to provide custom ROMs for it like CyanogenMod et al. As the reliable sources close to XiaoMi say, Global ROM for Mi5s will actually be released.
Ok, I will flash the rom from xiomi. Eu but that means I won't be able to update it from the phone, right?
Right

I have fake ROM too but I don't care because it works and all languages are there. No spyware no malicious software no Chinese. I have China's ROM on my Mi note 2 and it's pain in the ass. You will regret if you flash Chinese ROM as many others did. Global ROM for Mi 5s is about to be realest.
P.S
Afterwards I have flashed Xiaomi.eu rom and looks good at first glance. I did backup of my reseller ROM before I flashed Xiaomi.eu rom just in case.
So I have sucessfully unlocked my bootloader, install everything I need for step 3, enabled usb debbug in developers options. But now I can move forward, when I launch the command adb devices my phone is not recognized. Any help?? it's super frustrating.

You know the process very well, do you know why I am blocked at step 3 with a phone that can't be recognized?
FYI I just did a full factory reset, still doest not work
Your device still not recognized? If yes, go into device manager, delete the phone there (right click - uninstall). Then unplug it and plug it back in, in many cases it's now recognized.
If it's still not working, follow this very precise guide:

Thanks, I had difficulty to find rom archives on Xiaomi.eu. I found 6.11.10 for both mi 5s and mi note 2 and flashed. Looks good at first glance but I'm going to test it. Best regards!
Guys, I don't know why but the command "adb devices" never worked. I just manually put the phone in fastboot mode... And it worked. I'm booting on the xiaomi.eu rom. I will also flash supersu

It does work when phone is ON ( loaded in operating system) If the phone is in fastboot mode then it doesn't work but it is as intended. In fastboot mode use " fastboot devices"...
Would like to use a clean version of Android instead of the EMUI version that is loaded on all their phones.
Seeing how these phones are identical, figured what would work for one would work with the other.
Thanks for giving me any insight.
Coming from the Galaxy Note 4 - hoping I'm not making a mistake with this phone that is enroute.

Nothing happening on this phone I guess.

Guess you haven't bothered looking at the ROMs and development section. While alot of ROMs are not what I would deem "daily material", their is working going on to get ROMs on this device.

Here is a list of supported custom ROMs on Mate SE, Choose the A only ROM.
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
The whole custom ROM world has changed, Now you need to apply system.img instead of rom.zip using fastboot command.
I have the PHH-Treble installed on my Huawei Mate SE. here is the link.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659
In addition, I'd check out the Open Kirin site. I've read the Lineage version is outstanding and well tuned for the chip. They list the 7x as supported but I've read the Mate SE most certainly is also.

Coincidentally, just booted that ROM (on my SE) today. It's very very good, noticed a few minor glitches to do with the camera and navigation (will let them know about em).
I'll admit though, emui8 is growing on me It's certainly better than 5.1 was. Love to see the roms becoming available though. No doubt when updates stop (or before), they will be critical to have.

I don't mind emui except that the power-saver regularly kills tasker, ad-blocking vpns, etc. I've tried everything to exempt them from power saving but no go. The battery life is outstanding though (I usually only lose 15% after a full day's usage), so for average users it's a bonus.

Nothing terribly serious. I didn't use it for long, but the camera option for selfie shutter 'palm to camera' didn't work. Also the recently taken shots didn't show in the bottom gallery (I read this is fixed now). And the navigation arrows at the bottom seemed to not be persistent somehow (after a reboot this was okay).
It's easy to go back to stock, except if you haven't backed everything up, have to reconfigure, add / subtract apps etc.
I'd suggest searching for the openKirin website, they seem to be doing the most development. Also follow their directions, they worked for me and pretty easy.
Hi
How does one flash the "Openkirin_los_beta4" Iso to the Mate SE (BND-L34)? TWRP?? Fastboot??? what are the exact steps to not render it a paper weight again lol; Do you need Magisk-v16.0 to root it as well?

No, you don't need a custom bootloader.
You only need unlocked bootloader and unlocked frp.
TWRP is not supported on OpenKirin ROMs (especially on 7x twrp won't work).
You just need to flash the .img file through bootloader and then reboot to recovery and do a factory data reset.
Can anyone give me some advice: I have the Mate SE, currently on EMUI 8.0.0.332 (security update available but not installed), with TWRP and Magisk. I would love to install a custom ROM, but the OpenKirin site says TWRP isn't supported. Can I still install one of those builds and just expect no support if something goes wrong, or should I find some way to return to full stock before flashing? And if I need stock recovery, where can I find a download for it? I haven't had any luck on searching here yet.

Pretty much any GSI works so long as you have updated to EMUI 8 sometime in the past.
After a month of waiting for the unlock code and wishing anal and testicular cancer on Xiaomi CEO and senior management, I'll finally (hopefully) get it in 2 days.
It's 6GB/128GB and ROM version is 9.6.11.0.OEDCNFD (Chinese ROM, bought through a friend in China who shipped it). I have many questions, and hoping on some kind strangers for help.
- Should I be worried about anti-rollback and hard-brick after unlocking, based on my ROM version?
- What's the best way to ensure I don't get hard-brick?
- I want to switch to Treble based ROM and leave miui-bs - are there any reasons to not do so or wait (like some hardware doesn't work, camera quality poor, bad battery life, no volte etc)
- What's the safest/surest guide to install TWRP, vanilla android based custom ROM, Magisk etc?
If it wasn't obvious, the Anti-Rollback, hard-bricking has me scared sh!tless, and the month long wait (after the wait for phone release, availability, and shipment) has me on edge. This might very well be my last Xiaomi phone (because of their policies), but I don't want to brick it and let all this endless wait be for nothing /rantover

Not ARB, so there's no way I'd get bricked once I bootloader unlock? that's a huge relief if that's true!
Thank you kind sir for that guide, it's very helpful.
Have you tried Treble based ROMs? I know it's a personal preference over MIUI, but would you consider them stable and comparable to 8.8.9 EU?

You won't get bricked. You are most welcome. Everyone in this forum is quite helpful, and I've learned a lot from their informative posts as well.
Yes, I've tried AICP treble rom. No treble rom is ready yet for stable use because they all have the same problems that do not function correctly: auto brightness/brightness control, bluetooth media/bluetooth calls, quick charging, VoLTE, and mono speaker instead of stereo speakers.

Thank you again for the quick reply and the reassurance about not having to worry about getting bricked. I'm so glad I didn't click on the the Update button when I got the notification right after turning the phone ON haha
Ah okay, so no Treble for now. I'll wait for things to get stable. The Max in the phone's name so far has meant 'Maximum Wait'.
I'll follow your guide and install 8.8.9 EU.
From your guide I understand it's only optional, but what's the advantage of 'Changing file system from ext4 to f2fs'?

Well, f2fs is the latest/fastest file system, supposedly. Also, there are less chances of corruption/data problems? I believe that's what i read in regards to it and why people were switching over to that when they had issues with their user data; they were having to format their user data and start fresh....but don't quote me on it. I will let someone with more knowledge on this answer you and others in detail. You can leave it for now. My file system is default ext4.

Either install the global ROM (with a factory reset) or wait a couple of days - EU ROM comes with a slight delay after the global version (if there are no major issues).

You should not lose your warranty (at least in Europe bootloader unlocking won't void it).
I would suggest you to make yourself familiar with flashing in general (adb, fastboot, tools, rom formats etc.) before you attempt something.

It was the same for me, so I just flashed recovery ROM from TWRP (at first from 12.0.8.0 to 12.0.9.0 and then to 12.0.1.0). It should work with locked bootloader and stock recovery as well (some extra steps like renaming file to "update.zip" and putting it to the root of SD card, or using ADB sideload might be necessary).

I think the A11 EEA Recovery ROM got released but you have to be a Beta tester? Something to do with pilots lol
So hopefully that means there will be a full 11 rollout soon
I thought that EU Andoid 11 version is stable, but it seems to be really only beta as mentioned on 4pda. There are some misalignments in message notifications and phone crashed quite nastily once (had to reboot it 5 times until it finally fully started). RAM usage seems to be a bit too high as well resulting in more app redraws/reloads than necessary. I hope that fixed version will be out soon.
And the very same file is out as official "beta stable" now..

From what I understood how Xiaomi does the updates:
1. at first there is internal beta
2. after successful internal testing, it goes to closed beta
3. after closed beta it goes to public beta
4. if there are no (major) issues, the very same version is released to public in batches as "stable beta" (recovery ROM)
5. if there are no (major) issues, the very same version is released to public in batches as "stable" and fastboot ROM is released as well
So I believe that what we've seen is that "public beta" V12.0.1.0.RJSEUXM became "stable beta" and will transition to "stable" in the coming weeks. However when exactly is it going to hit your phone is impossible to tell, they chose phones by country + some random parameters. Manual installation is probably the best way how to have the latest ROM version.

Exactly this version is now arriving on my German stock phone as an OTA update today. The phone is new and I had never participated in any beta program or anything like that. Thus it should be stable production right now. Is this true?
Did I get this right? Xiaomi is not differentiating beta-version numbers from stable version numbers? In other words: I cannot differentiate the release train between a beta and a stable channel from looking at the version number?
Thank you!

Yes, it seems to be considered as a "stable" now.
And yes, there is no difference in the version number between beta/stable. ROM is not being re-released, it's always the same ROM with the same download link and with the same hash. Beta/stable beta/stable is just a naming convention which changes over time. There is no special beta channel in a traditional sense as you might be used to from PC/ mobile applications.

Thank you, _mysiak_! This is more clear now.
What is disappointing for me is, that now, after I have thoroughly decided to install the OTA update, it has disappeared again and is no longer found by the Xiaomi updater. How strange.
Maybe there were bugs and it is set back to beta status?
You probably never know the algorithms how Xiaomi distributes updates...
Maybe they just save bandwidth right now. ;-)

I've read exactly that explanation - if you don't install the update when it's received, your "slot" is released after few hours/days and offered to someone else. It is supposed to save bandwidth and prevent overload of Xiaomi servers. But I have no idea if it's really true..
So the update will shortly be arriving now as stable update via phone updater. If someone has a link when it arrives you should put it here

The OnePlus 9 pro is good for customizing!
@Evon88, the fact is, TWRP hasn't been updated to properly support Android 12, at least not on the 9 Pro, and I'm beginning to suspect that it never will be. IMHO, it looks to me like encryption and other issues introduced by Google have simply gotten the best of the TWRP team. I'll be happy to be proven wrong, and will be pleasantly surprised if TWRP is updated to work with Android 12 and above, but right now, that remains in the realm of wishful thinking.
The good news is that the recoveries included with most Android 12 ROMs (based on the AOSP recovery) are functional, and are capable of doing the minimum work of flashing new ROMs and upgrades (i.e. Magisk and Gapps) just like TWRP. They certainly don't have the wealth of features that TWRP has (such as the ability to wipe only the data partition without erasing the media partition; it's either all or nothing), but then, they weren't designed to have them. I keep hoping that someone will take the AOSP recovery and use it as a base for a recovery that includes more of TWRP's features. (I'd do it if I had the knowledge. I'm knowledgeable enough to poke at AOSP and cherry pick features to create a custom ROM, but the intimate knowledge required to work with the recovery code is something I don't have.)

You can in fact install and boot TWRP. But you can't do almost anything in it... But this isn't OP9P problem but every phone with Android 12 and encryprion enabled. But as other said, TWRP isn't needed for flashing custom ROMs.

Don't let lack of twrp hold you back. It's a fun phone. I use it for gaming (CODM) on Android 11.2.10.10 just fine. I may end up flashing an old build of crDroid for Android 11 but I'm pretty happy with how everything is set up on regular OOS now and don't want to lose L1 and start back over.

There's a user/team on the >OnePlus 6 & 6T forums<, that has had success with Android 12 and 13 decrypt, I use it on my 6T, and decrypt works flawlessly, I use it to flash Magisk when changing/updating ROMs.
It's Unofficial however, I hope it trickles to other devices.

All of them are made in china and I think will be good quality OnePlus phone. I don't know if they use anything different (except rom). You can change from colorOS to oxygenOS

Needed, maybe not. Desired, definitely. It can do a lot of things that the stock and AOSP recoveries simply can't (to name just one: it can wipe data without wiping storage, as I mentioned above; stock/AOSP recoveries' "factory reset" wipe destroys everything).

I was on LE2127_11_C20 A12 with tarp and root.......the mail reason it worked was no lock screen security. I did try with setting a password is be cause a script to try and make partitions R/W but that put me in a bootloader loop. Went back to 11.2.9.9..

The Indian variant has dual SIM. Maybe some others variants, too.
