request to have the bootloader unlocked then.
I assume we'll have to manually install google apps. I'm updating it via the updater app and seeing if that'll work even tho I've got twrp .

Is it better flashing with Recovery or Fastboot?
Why the Full ROM size is 1,5 GB and the Fastboot is 1,7 GB?

I was able to use the updater app to install the recovery rom no problem. very smooth.
But now my work application doesn't work because something to do w/ work profile not supported maybe.

Hi.If you flash fastboot rom do u loose the TWRP recovery

Yes I lost twrp.

But the bootloader remains unlocked.Are u able to flash twrp and root again?

Can someone tell me if I'll be able to get OTA updates if I install this global rom? Thanks

I think you should be able to. When I used the MIUI Updater app, it rebooted into TWRP to auto-install the Global firmware with no issues on the touchscreen. But it's possible to think that twrp may need to be updated to be used w/ Global like it did in RC1 or RC2.

It would make sense to do it this way. Once you have global, any new global updates would be updated via the MIUI Updater OTA.

Thanks.And how do I find the rom.No FC or random reboot issues.Google app fc's

Flashed using MI flash tool and relocked boot loader so I could have android pay. Did a factory reset after flash and have had no problems so far. Stable clean rom. Had issues with flash tool that resolved when I out all the files in a folder at the root (I put them in c:\rom). Flash tool didn't like a long nested folder name (sip aid the name was too long)

So does Android Pay works?

Yes once you lock the boot loader. Safety net helper comes up green and I can add my card. You do have to update play services after ROM install as it's been updates since the rom was built. After your first reboot after installing new rom you will get a notification to update play services

Mine works fine. I had other issues w/ google but I ended up resetting the phone to factory and everything runs as expected without major issues.
The Global Rom still has the
1. wallpaper carousel issue if using 3rd party launcher
2. cannot search for bluetooth devices for the Xiaomi auto unlock feature, the google option can add the devices, but it doesn't unlock the screen
3. google map feature does not work w/ a dual app that I use.

Can someone install football manager mobile 2017 and test? I have force crash. And ps I purchased on play store

Hey All, just got a MIX so I'm a newbie and apologies if my question has been covered extensively in a past thread.
The rom that came with my mix was xiaomi.eu. I used the Recovery Method to flash the Official Global Rom. However, when I did I didn't loose any data AT ALL.........it took a while for the recovery flash to go through (like 5-10 minutes), but then my phone just rebooted and all my apps, wallpaper, etc were there.
I checked, and the current MIUI Version is MIUI Global 8.2 Stable 8.2.1.0 (MAHMIDL).
Also, I tried to use Android Pay, got the error message, downloaded and ran the CTS app, and still failed. Does this mean I should get my bootloader unlocked (already submitted request) and fast flash and relock the bootloader??

I'm no dev but I have to wonder, would the software have files written/coded in English inside of it. is it a convention ?
I would like to know if there is the possibility of installing the original firmware international version of axon7 Chinese model without root?
Unless the software checks at the start of the flashing process fail to match ROM with phone (so you don't try to flash a ROM for a different phone, which would brick it) it should work. As an aside, root/no root does not affect flashing, locked/unlocked boot-loader does but for ROMs signed by the manufacturer this isn't an issue either

Cant open play store or connect to any google account

After installing MedroM I got this problem and couldn't connect to google account and every google app would crash if I tried to log in, so I flashed b161 and I still have this problem, even after numerous factory resets, has this ever happened to anyone ?
Yes, it is happening to other guys around here...
In fact is happening to all who flash B160/B161 firmware...
Is not possible to flash any firmware previously to B160/B161.
Workaround is to unlock bootloader, flash twrp, root it, reflash oeminfo for your device,
and after that you can flash another firmware again.

i'm in the same situation, i tried to do what you've said, but twrp says that the installation failed. how can I have play store working again? please help, this situation is driving me crazy!
i'm on c900 b161.
I had the same issue. I did a clean flash of the new 161 update and that made my device a C900. I have a Eurpoean model (T-Mobile Germany).
After 2 days of trying different stuff, here's what gave me a functional device with TWRP and Root back:
-Back up any data you want to keep, obviously.
-Reflash stock ROM (put UPDATE.APP on your dload/ folder on the separate SD card, then boot into the update function by turning the phone off and then holding Vol+, Vol-, Power. Just wait until it's finished.
-Unlock Bootloader again
-Download the Toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/europe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873
-Flash TWRP through the toolkit
-Boot TWRP and root
-In Android, enable ADB
-In the Toolkit, go to Dual Sim>Individual and select the appropriate custom.bin and oeminfo.img from the thread of the toolkit. For my European one it was L31 SS C432. Press flash and grant Root permissions on your phone.
-Turn off your phone and flash the stock ROM again like in step 1.
-If you want root, you need to unlock the Bootloader again, flash TWRP and then root it from there.
DON'T WIPE ANYTHING IN TWRP OR YOU WILL HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN!
Don't ask me how I know.
Hope this saves someone from wasting their time with this nonsense like I have.
No need to touch the oem stuff, just extract the boot.img and system.img and flash through adb, for dat you need bootloader unlocked and fastboot drivers then you can downgrade firmware and fix your sign problem or just wait for a new firmware

That would be much simpler, I didn't consider that. Would you mind writing up a guide?
I've had the same issue and have resolved it pretty easily,
i did the following steps ;
- download both medrom versions
- do full factory reset
- install medrom v1
- do all settings of google etc
- reboot recovery and install v2
- wipe dalvik and reboot
-- all works now except for the forceclose on facebook
ps : this answer is also in the thread ( not as extended as this but it's there )
Edit : some other apps are Force closing to, my guess is that there's a shared resource of some kind that's corrupted or something..

Force closing is caused by the oeminfo in my experience. Can you check in the "About Phone" section which build number your phone currently has? Should be something along the lines of "VNS-L31C432B161" where C432 indicates the region code.
since I am Running MEDROM v2 it shows just that. However , I do know it is based on b161

Fllashing stock rom again isnt necessary , just flash the oeminfo, reboot, they will tell you an encryption password, so you have to do a factory reset AND DONE !

I got my P9 Lite from Congstar in Germany. I didn't knew, that the device would be branded by Telekom. I flashed the B161 and couldn't connect to any google account. Thankfully updating the webview apk via apk mirror solved this problem. But this leaves me with 2 questions and maybe you could answer these...?
1) Do you know which stock rom would work the best with my device (VNS-L31 without the possibility to use two sim cards ) and where I could download this stock rom.
2) Is the B161 supposed to work fine after solving this issue or are there other problems with it?
I would be really happy if someone of you could help me. :good:

1) The best stock ROM would either be, well, the stock ROM, or the Revolution ROM.
2) I've had some strange behavior with Relay for Reddit and frequent crashes of WhatsApp when sending messages. Right now I'm on Lineage OS 14.1 and it's really great. Camera's a bit slow, but otherwise I love it. I missed stock Android.

Thank you, tomorrow I'll test if Whatsapp working fine or not, that's important for me. Is Lineage 14.1 the most stable Lineage version?
Nougat is still in beta, yes. The full version is expected to come out within the next few weeks.
14.1 refers to the Android version which is 7.1.1. They adopted CyanogenMod's naming scheme. You'll still need to update LineageOS to get bugfixes and such. The dev releases a new update every 2 or 3 days, just check their website periodically.

Guide to switch from Vendor ROM to EU ROM

This is for people who have received their phone with a pre-installed Vendor ROM (MIUI Global Stable 8.0.8.0) and wants to switch to the Unofficial EU ROM. In my opinion, the EU ROM is currently the best ROM without any Chinese bloatware or popups until Xiaomi decides to release an actual Global ROM.
For those who are already on a China Stable ROM, there is already an excellent guide to install TWRP, ROOT, compiled by @underlines. This is only intended for switching from a Vendor ROM as I wasn't able to switch from a Vendor ROM to an official build using the previous guide. You need to be on an official build to be able to use TWRP and flash the EU ROM.
EDIT : The reason why I have mentioned to flash an official build at first is because, TWRP can be unresponsive with some Vendor ROMS. You'll be able to boot TWRP but touch would be frozen. I've tried with both versions of TWRP and it wouldn't work with the Vendor ROM installed on my device. TWRP over the Vendor ROM may work for some users.. For some builds like the one which came installed on my phone, it may not work. If TWRP works for you without being on an official build, you can skip the part where you have to flash an official ROM.
1. You need to have an unlocked bootloader. Please follow instructions on the other guide on how to do this.
2. You need the older version of MiFlash found on this link. Thanks to @Thorin78 for this link.
3. Download and extract fastboot Stable or Dev ROM and extract ROM folder to the C:\ Drive. This is because MiFlash may show a "cannot find file" error if you have a lot of subfolders. To avoid this, its best if the folder is C:\ROM Folder.
4.In the older version of MiFlash, click advanced and change the fastboot script location to the flash_all.bat in your unzipped rom folder.
5.Connect your phone in fastboot mode, click "Refresh" in MiFlash. Once your phone is detected, click "Flash" and it should now successfully flash the official ROM of your choice.
If you wish to be on a Xiaomi Official Stable or Dev ROM, Stop here! If you wish to continue installing the EU ROM proceed with the steps below.
6. Now that you have successfully flashed Official Stable or Dev ROM, use Minimal ADB and flash TWRP RC2 using the instructions in the other guide.
7. Once you are in TWRP, Swipe right to allow System Modifications and copy the forced encryption disabler using MTP. Flash this file to ensure that there are no bootloops.
8. After this step, go to WIPE, Format Storage, type "yes" and then Reboot Recovery. Copy SuperSU and EU ROM to storage and flash. Phone may take a few minutes to boot up and you will successfully boot the EU ROM.
For everything else, please follow the guide posted by underlines.
TWRP EU RC2 works with the China Dev ROM as well. Once you Swipe to Right to allow modifications, don't forget to flash the latest dm-verity and forced encryption disabler script from here. This is to prevent the device going into a bootloop.
These are the steps I followed and I am on EU ROM. Hope this helps people who wish to switch to the EU ROM from the Vendor ROM.

I managed to flash with latest miflash using your guide my bootloader was already unlocked check using:
boot your phone into fastboot and COMMAND PROMPT " fastboot oem device-info "
most are probably unlocked with vendor rom but not all.
Don't try to unlock with this method just check to save sometime.

I guess it also depends on the Vendor ROM and customization which comes installed on your device. Not all Vendor ROMs for this device are the same. I tried everything under the sun with the latest miflash. It would detect device and even give a "success" output but the ROM was never actually flashed. The phone would still be on the Vendor ROM. Its as if some Vendor ROMs have some form of write protection baked in.
I could only get it working with the older miflash.
I'm not saying it was easy, the hard thing was making the unpack ING of the file. Sort of did it twice never had that problem before.

This for people who don't want TWRP, root and dm-verify, just genuine Xiaomi rom with OTA updates and remove vendor rom.
QQ.
I did the following on my Mix and wondering if I am missing anything. I should say that everything "appears" to be working perfectly on the EU rom.
My Mix came with 8.0.8.0 Global (Vendor ROM) and I wanted to move onto the Xiaomi.eu rom. I loosely followed the above guide and did the following steps:
Applied for Unlock
Unlocked the device via MiUnlock
Used Minimal ADB and booted the device into FastBoot
Confirmed device was Bootloader unlocked
Flashed TWRP (latest non-eu build)
Booted to recovery
DID NOT swipe to edit system partition, left that read only
Flashed the latest Weekly Xiaomi.eu build
Wiped Dalvik/Cache
Booted phone
Performed a Factory reset.
All seemed a little too easy and I didnt need to go to an "Official" china ROM first. But I do have a few questions...
Should I have swiped Yes to enter Read/Write mode for the system partition and run a dm-verify? (I am not interested in Rooting the device at this stage)
Should I have performed a System clear in TWRP before installing Xiaomi.eu ontop of the Vendor ROM?

Wouldn't worry about it the vendor ROMs aren't poison, not sure about dm-verify if you kept read only. I would of swiped then flashed dm-verify but didn't mean I know what I'm doing.

This is because some Vendor ROMS have some compatibility issues with TWRP. Touch screen wouldn't work on TWRP. I tried both TWRP versions and couldn't get touch to work.
Finally, I flashed the China Dev ROM and then used TWRP RC2 and touch functionality worked.
As some users below have pointed out that they could get to EU without flashing the one of the official builds, I guess it depends on the amount or type of vendor customizations applied on your device.
Which version do you own? I was wondering if this would work with the 6GB as well.

This works with both versions. The ROM is compatible with both variants as the size of memory and storage doesn't affect compatibility.
I have the 6\256 variant.

Thank you. It worked. I fastboot twrp then factory reset the device and flashed the eu rom. All good. My bootloader was unlocked by the vendor.
Can someone please give me some advice? Just got the phone a couple hours ago. I took a picture of the info page. Based on the screenshot am I on the vendor ROM or official? I'm thinking I'm on Vendor because it has GAPPS already included.
If I'm on Vendor ROM and want to get to rooted EU Rom I can follow directions in the OP right?
How do I know is if my bootloader is already unlocked? Many thanks

Vendor (there is no Global ROM for Mix). You should unlock your bootloader (check if it's already unlocked using "fastboot oem device-info"), flash TWRP, wipe and flash EU

How to install it on a rooted ZE551ML ?
When checking for OTA, it is not purposing the update for the moment.
Thanks

Hello. This forum is for galaxy 8.07. We don't know about zendroid 2 or whatever you ask.
Just joking. This IS for zenfone 2.
I'm currently using the update. Screen flickering has stopped for the time being.
i have a rooted device ZE551ml 2.3gzh 4gb and when i checked for firmware update it starts downloading and now my device is on the update prompt screen i.e. to install , postponed or cancel it.
so my question is :- is it safe to install the updates on a rooted device.
thanks in advance

My way is unroot and uninstall Xposed first, than sideload the whole rom with stock recovery.
I had failed to OTA many times because I modified some system files (forgot to restore them), so now I just reflash rom to save the trouble.
Wifi auto-connect problem seems fixed and the phone has more available ram after "power and boost".
It's worth to update imo.
Battery life seems the same
All sensors working with this version in my brazilian zenfone 2 z00a.
Running this for last two days so far , yup Wi-Fi connects quicker , graphics seem sharper round the web and there's the security patch .
To update ..
Coming from .184 rooted and twrp.
Full unroot first.
Then used the modder tool , to "return back to stock " option. Select boot.img then recovery.img, remember it flashes .134 .img's and I was coming from .184 to begin with.
Then boot to stock recovery .
Scroll to update from adb. Then adb cmd >
adb sideload MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
Remembering to put the new firmware in adb/fastboot folder first and changing the file name to MOFD_SDUPDATE before sideloading.
Will give it a few more days then will try to use the modder tool to get back to lineage os and back up the new firmware.
I was on rooted .184 and twrp. I booted into fastboot, flashed recovery, booted to recovery, and updated from SD card. After the update has been installed and the phone booted, I unlocked the bootloader, flash twrp, root, remove bloatware, profit

I had unlocked the BL before so i updated and directly tried regaining root and xposed but failed (softbrick at asus loading screen), I confirm that applying the whole ota from sideload sort of relocks the bootloader and you must do it again, now it is booting and rebuilding the dalvik cache.

In conclusion you did only flashed stock recovery and, from that, you flashed the whole zip in the first post, right?

its a add-on downloaded and installed from ` tools ` in firefox browser settings :good:
ps, i had trouble using adblockplus add-on from firefox ,when viewing XDA pages ..they turned out blank , XDA i think prevented the use of such adblock , so now i use the less blocking add-on in firefox called `uBlock`
its good enough

It's safe to flash it using TWRP? doesn't close the bootloader or anything dangerous?

My x2 pro is also locked and fully stock, the ozip install won't work
Is this for the Chinese model or the international model?
Its only install a VPN, connect to India and the OTA Realme UI appears
I updates to Realme UI via OTA. Great update. Everything is different for better at first view.

Same for me, also with twrp 12, all android 9 updated worked but this one doesn't.
Probably is made to work only with India IMEI codes?

ok I can confirm that this works fine but now I can't flash magisk, not the latest stable (with the fix) or the canary version,anyone can help?
My problem is after flashing the OZIP it only boots into recovery (also when choosing reboot system).
I haven't wiped anything.
