Hello everyone,
Somehow I ended with a Fake Xiaomi Redmi Note 3G with (obviously) different hardware specifications.
I've extracted the ROM from the fake one to keep it safe.
The only hack I've done till now is modifying the EBR files and the scatter file according with those ones for extending the space available for installing apps.
Is there any way that I can MOD an official/original version of the ROM for my fake version?
Thanks to everyone in advance!

hello!
I recently bought a Redmi Note 4g and I'm trying to set it up so it's actually useful to me. I've tried downloading the apk for google play app store, doesn't work. I think it might be because I'm using a Chinese ROM, but I have so far failed to replace my current ROM with a Global version, and I'm not sure why.
model number HM NOTE 1LTE
Android Version 4.4.4 KTU84P
MIUI version 6.4.1.0 (KHICNCB) Stable
is the global ROM sufficient? if so, how do I install it? I have attempted this, but I'm not very knowledgeable, and have so far failed to understand the directions provided.
do I need a custom ROM?
all I really need is the ability to use google apps, I think. please help!

1- flash custom recovery ie cwm, twrp etc.
2- boot into the custom recovery and flash gapps.
3- profit.

thank you for your timely response, however, "I'm not very knowledgeable, and have so far failed to understand the directions provided." I only sort of vaguely understand your instructions, and I'm not sure how to proceed from here. can you be more specific? thanks again

The Playstore app requires google services framwork installed as a system app, for that you need root access and/or a custom recovery

I think you are using chinese version, you need to update version by installing global version.
you can download the ROm , en miui forum
, save file in the root of memory internal, boot into recovery and choose update
Provided you have developer edition ROM (which comes pre-rooted) I had the same issue. Just search the Web for "Google installer for Xiaomi and you'll find an apk which will let you install Google Play and subsequently all the Google Apps.
Hey guys.
Just bought this amazing beast.
I was wondering if I can flash ROM on this decision thread for both Redmi 2 versions.
Is there any difference between ROM packages for both versions.
Thanks.
Check the ROM description - often it is mentioned whether the ROM is for a particular variant or for all variants.
Usually it is compatible, but some of the Sensors and specific components might not have drivers and will not function if you flash a custom ROM, in case of HM2014818(Redmi 2 Prime India ver) the magnetic sensor YAS 537, will not function as the drivers are not yet updated. This is because Xiaomi is not giving up the kernel sources we require to compile a compatible driver

after some search i read that you cannot use the same rom of redmi 2/pro to your phone, because they have different chipset, maybe with some deep search you can find the files for your phone

I'm looking for a post about fix the bad volume quality in camera videos, it will work with the V8.1.5.0 eu version?
Will the 4g/LTE work with MIUI V8.1.5.0 EU on American continent, specifically in colombia?
Anyone know any way for uninstall the unused google apps without get bootloop?
Thanks for all, and sorry for the inconvenience
1. Over Google a lot guides.
http://en.miui.com/thread-200858-1-1.html
If process stuck on 50% try again few times. Then flash China Dev rom, usually it helps.
2. Yes, patch for fixing bad recorded sound compatible with any rom for now.
3. http://willmyphonework.net
Chinese and International device versions have different bands support, Google it.
4. Bootloop only if you freeze Google Search app (Launcher3), other apps safe to disable.
Root: via MyAndroidTools disable all it's recievers and it won't start automatically.
Thanks for your quickly answer, you re always on fire

Rom version not affect bands / radio behaviour.
My redmi note 7 has been very good so far but I was always apprehensive purchasing it because of security. Has any one had any issues or found malware?.
Thanks.. edit I have the international version with stock/ original rom.
Do you mean in the original miui?
Of course it is not containing anything
But if you bought a china version and the shop installed a global "fake" rom, maybe it cointains, but just maybe, we can't be sure.
If your miui version don't match with the original: https://en.miui.com/download-360.html#582 then install the original and you'll be ok.
If it matches any original miui then you're ok and don't need to do anythin unless the version is ok for you.
it doesn't have malware, just a lot of bloatware and also advertising.
i highly recommend to flash with xiaomi.eu MIUI rom.
China ROM can contain something like that as China law allows it and companies are basically forced to do because government tells them to do. Thats what I have read somewhere about China phones and ROMs. Global and specialy EEA should be safe. As mentioned bloatware, adverts yes, but nothing more.
