Fake seller rom - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Hi guys. My Mi 5s Plus has a fake rom MIUI 8.0.8.0.0 Global Stable. I discovered that such version doesn't really excit. So my question is what should I do to have the official global stable version and have OTA updates, should I just download it from Xiaomi's website and install it or will I still don't have OTA updates?
Also, does sound come out from the both sides of the grill on the bottom or only from the right one on your Mi 5s Plus?
Thanks and happy new year to everyone

Download Rom from Official site, put it on Your Phone to folder "downloaded_rom", if U dont have it just create it and use updater in settings, it should work

Will try. Thanks

Hi pero93,
Would you please share result later, whether success or any issue.
Thanks

That worked for me without any issues. About the sound speaker - 5s only has one. The holes on the left are for the mic.

Same workaround on Mi5S?
Hi,
is that same procedure applicable for the 5S as well?

Hi,
Unfortunately, not working for me.
I think this needs the updater to have the 3 dots in the upper right corner to select the updater file.
I do not have those 3 dots
Any other suggestion ?
Regards.
[EDIT : the three dots disappeared because I switched DPI... I restored DPI and they came back. Did as was said here and... there I go : official ROM now ]

Mi Mix 2 Face Unlock

Hi there,
so i saw mutiple threads and videos (most in chinese tho...) about the possibility to unlock Xiaomi devices under MIUI 9 with face unlock.
I got my Mix 2 3 days ago...so i can finally unlock my bootloader today but what do i have to flash for face unlock possibility?
Currently i'm on miui 9 global 7.11.6 beta, which doesn't include this feature.
So is this still in chinese beta, is it a miui pro feature only?
Can anybody shed some light on it?
Thanks in advance.

Works fine @mi mix2 with MI-GLOBE based on MIUI 9 Beta 17.11.16
emmmm. i'm a chinese and my English is poor but i think you can understand what's i say.

this one is the miui9 beta version 11.16 in China,and this shuld have faceunlock.
you must use TWRP rec to flash this ROM,or you can't use your phone(maybe)
and if you flash this rom,you can't get OTA push,you can only download full rom to update!
China version have many AD and unofficial APP, you can uninstall most of them
after all , my English is realy poor...if you can't understand,i have no idea

Android P for MI 6

Hi, anyone heard anything about Android P beta for MI6 ? Would it be provided as a custom rom before (if) it's available from Xiaomi?
cheers!

Yea probably. I asked because it's officialy available for Xiaomi MI Mix 2s --> not sure as how the Xiaomi ecosystem works - these might be compatible ? https://developer.android.com/preview/devices/

Probably Mix2S is Treble enabled by default?
I hope that someone will port the mi2s's beta to our mi6!
I'm starting to feel backward...

Mix 2s has treble so they just used the generic system image of P which had been out for a while.
Basically nothing special for a treble device.
It doesn't seem to boot on our treble port from Nils or Verevka so idk what's different about it.
Eh.
We will probably get LOS P in the future but for now we only just got Oreo and P is way off being a full release.

Having closely watched the LOS development for a year, I think it's gonna take a while for LOS in P to be as stable as current LOS in Oreo. And regression bug can still keep coming, regardless how mature it is.
Hi All,
thanks for your replies and input into this thread. I appreciate it, and hope, we will get some Android P
have a nice day!
Mi Mix2s Android P Beta is not a GSI. It's a specific image for that system. If it was a GSI then would we able to use it already on our Mi6.

I wan't all the goodies available when it comes to the google assistant, my take is, the new assistant features like calling a hair salon will be available on P first.
I also like the suble changes in design that come with each iteration of android.

No it's not a GSI rom, it's device specific P rom for mix 2s

Just got this phone after some years off android and I find myself being confused by so many terms. Would love to start flashing roms like I did 5yrs ago.
Can I know the process to follow? (already unlocked my bootloader)

you can use xiaomi tool kit (search on google) to flash any custom recovery. then flash a good rom (currently miui 10 is best for me.) flash magisk if you want root stuffs or go with flashing lazy flasher after miui rom. reboot, done!

I have downloaded miui 10 global fastboot rom. What is orange fox? I already unlocked bootloader..
Hi @ridersam
Need some advices from you. I am interested in installing Custom Rom on my Redmi 5 Plus. The one I am referring to is Android P Vince (already got hold of the step by step instructions). My concerns :-
1. Waiting to unlock my bootloader in the next few days (Redmi 5 Plus) with root too and to install Red Wolf Recovery (fastboot to install the standard twrp). The default is OrangeFox-R6-Beta-vince.zip recovery
2. From standard twrp to flash Red Wolf Recovery instead of OrangeFox recovery. Can I do that?
3. Going to install Android P Vince custom rom in Redmi 5 Plus (serial of steps instruction from the devs). Done and reboot as my daily driver.
4. Can this Red Wolf Recovery be used like normal twrp recovery for other custom rom or backup and/or restore not only Redmi 5 Plus?
5. Through fastboot I can also install Red Wolf Recovery, right! Do I have to rename the file like recover.img rather the actual name RedWolf-Unofficial-vince-2.img? Another method to install recovery.
Thank you
I have a question
Does the aosp ROMs, pixel experience and such are using the open sources of Vince that Xiaomi released months ago?

[ASK] [MIUI 10] Install unknown sources apk
I've installed MIUI 10 via updater app today, following a factory reset from MIUI 9.6.4. I didn't use fastboot method bcs I'm just lazy lol.
Today i tried installing Sony Music App apk which I had on my previous MIUI.
After finished installing, the screen says "App not installed"
Any idea how to work around this? The install permission setting of unknown sources is confusing as you need to allow each app you would like to open apk from. And no, this is not because screen filter app which restricts you from pressing the install button, I don't use such app and i get to press the install button.
Then i tried enabling it from all my file explorer app, even manually enabling the PackageInstaller system app to install from unknown sources. The problem persisted so i try downloading other apk from another mirror site, and nothing is working.
I'm currently on the 8.8 update of MIUI 10.
Help appreciated.

I have just found that from the Developer Option Mi Unlock Status says that it is Unlocked. Is that mean this ohone's Bootloader is unlocked?

Hi,
on this weekend, I got it with OTA. The MIUI 13. EEA....
I can not recommend, not stable from my opinion.....
The FS20 official (paid) game not working, the advanced darlk options also not working, eat the memory ( before with A11 with my apps, 5.3GB ram was free, with the new A12, just 4.4GB memory was free )
So my last weekend was about the bootloader opening, and flashing back the last A11 version.... But as you feel, lets try out!
i not use stock (OTA) miui rom. I use only from xiaomi eu. for me works nice, not freezing or app crash or games. Ota Rom is 13.0.2.0. xiaomi EU have 13.0.4.0 with some fixes.
