[TUT] How to flash Xiaomi ROMs - Stable & Developer - Xiaomi Mi 4i

Credits: NOT MINE
I'm scouring the net looking for tutorials, and resources for my Mom's 1 day old Xiaomi MI4i. However, my best resource - that would be XDA Forums; doesn't have much yet. So I would like to post these things here. I hope other MI4i user's would appreciate it.
How to flash Stable & Developer ROM for Xiaomi MI4i
Method 1: System Update
*** NOTE ***
Please wipe all data in Recovery mode if you want to update to a discontinuous ROM version, or downgrade to an older ROM version using MIUI full ROM pack.
Download the latest MIUI ROM file. Download here
There is no need to do it again if you’ve already downloaded the latest ROM file.
Connect your device to the Windows PC/laptop via a micro USB cable, and copy the ROM file downloaded in Step 1 into the folder ‘downloaded_rom’ in the internal storage of your device.
Launch ‘Updater' app on your device:
MIUI 6:Click the ‘…’ icon at the top-right corner, select ‘Choose update package’, and choose the ROM file you’ve put in ‘downloaded_rom’ in Step 2.
MIUI V5:Press the Menu button, select ‘Choose update package’, and choose the ROM file you’ve put in ‘downloaded_rom’ in Step 2.
NOTE: I am looking for an alternative on how I can include / embed the images on the post. - I'll update this post later when I get home.
After choosing the right ROM file, your device will begin upgrading. Your device should automatically boot to the new version when the update is completed.

Can I downgrade to an older rom? I'm using 6.6.10 but not satisfied so can I downgrade 6.6.6 rom without rooting phone?

The same procedure as above should work, just now use the older rom file.

But my phone is not rooted. Rooting is not necessary for flashing?

If you use the method as described above, it should work as far as i know.
But to be honest, i don't use MIUI and have never had any need for updating MIUI.

@elot01 is correct @rajsonic66 instead of using the newer ROM, use the older ROM version. And no, root is not necessary to flash this ROM. As far as I known, root is never a requirement when flashing Official Firmwares a.k.a. ROM. I have a Sony Z and a Z1, I have never required root access to flash a full ROM for it.

You can install the slimdroid port using CWM if you want to install the full version from Lenovo you will need to make sure you have the stock recovery installed. It is tricky but it works. Do a quick search and make sure you understand how the bootable sdcards work. The A1 is almost unbrickable but it can get scary at times as long as you have a boot sdcard you will be fine.
I have been running it for a couple of days it works well the battery drains a bit faster but much better than stock. CM7 is very nice too you can't go wrong with either one.

Good to know the other versions all worked on CWM looks like you will need to install the stock recovery before continuing.

Well, I flash someone's rom with cwm and its very unstable it doesn't have wifi , gapps, and usb mass storage but it has usb debugging, I was thinking to change the files of the recovery to cwm using adb and do a fresh install of gb, is that ok?
The first thing you are going to want to do if you want to go back to stock and that is probably best and then go from there is download the following.
http://download.lenovo.com/slates/a1/OTA/A107W0_A234_001_015_2643_US.zip

http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~grm08/ideapad/cwm-5.0.2.7-rev3-ideapad-a1.zip
If you have a 16gb device grab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23471133&postcount=409
First flash CWM 5.0.2.7 (you can use the newer one later if you want to but use this one for this)
Then if you have the 16GB model flash stock-mbr.zip and reboot into CWM. (if you have a 2GB device this will hose it the device don't do it)
Then flash the ram disk followed by the 2643 OTA.
If you have an issue installing CWM grab a bootable sdcard there are instructions in the ICS threads and use that to flash CWM.
The A1 is almost unbrickable unless you have a hardware problem you should be able to get it working again.
I inatall the alimdroid but the space for install apps is very reduce and the apps can't move tp th sd card is there any form to change that?

[Q] Compatible Rom(s) for Virgin Mobile USA Galaxy S2

Who has the VM USA Galaxy S2 variant, what did you flash and are currently running? I am curious to know what others use as daily drivers, what has worked for them, and how they went about obtaining it.
I have looked around but to no avail in the last few months have I seen a huge dev support for SPH-D710VMUB. I have successfully updated my phone to sxtp GB28 Rom w/ root and MidnightRom but have not tried CM10.1 because of rom issues and flashing confusion.
I have recently flashed CarbonRom (LOVE IT) because it was listed in MidnightRoms goomanager app under "other compatible roms". At the time I did not know it was strictly for Sprint but it took okay. Everything seems to work flawlessly except data of course (no 3G/4G therefore no MMS, GPS, etc.) I have looked at APN apps (have a thread made for that), but no luck on getting any of it to work.
Check out my thread on CarbonRom. I'm thinking of close it down since I have this one up now. It has images and links however.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2319952
Please, VM users/devs, use this thread to openly discuss and share anything pertaining to this device.
Another one
Found another awesome rom called ReVolt:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=22
Check it out. Probably need to flash a Sprint ICS or older modem to get data to work on Virgin Mobile.
Btw, I did get data working by flashing a Sprint ICS/GB modem. Check out my thread on that.

I'd like to introduce another awesome ROM called Domination. Go check it out for the E4GT.

Note that these are ROMs that I have tested. There could be more out there!

If you want to recover your touchwiz nandroid coming from a CM10 based ROM or clockwork mod recovery, you will need to restore first time using CWM then when your new ROM and recovery are flashed, boot up system then go back into recovery (which should now be Agats) and restore the nandroid one more time doing this.
The reason being, CM10 CWM is not fully compatible with TW basedbased ROMs and so they won't fully restore your ROM. I figured this out myself.

It's a little complicated than that. Remember, on Samsung phones, the rom and recovery are intertwined. Meaning when you flash your ROM it will have a recovery specific to that ROM. CWM/CM10 recoveries aren't fully compatible with TouchWiz Roms. You'll need an altered version of CWM/TWRP for that.
I went and flashed GB28 rooted with Agats recovery by sxtp developers. It has a full tutorial on that page. Specific to virgin mobile. You'll need to download the drivers and software and its pretty straight forward. I'll post a link.
If you want to go from there to a CM10 based ROM afterwards, I can help you.

No. Most all of the ROMs you flash will have root access in one form or another. TW will have SuperSU and CM10, SuperUser/BusyBox most likely. So don't worry about root. And when you flash a ROM, you will be flashing its new recovery also. No, it should not mess anything up if you follow the method specific to the ROM.
Sent from my VM E4GT using Tapatalk 4
Here is what I would do: Use Odin (mobile or PC) to flash a rooted version of your stock ROM. It could have a recovery to it or not. If not, then after you flash the stock ROM, flash a compatible recovery. I used Agats for TW. Once you have that, download the CM10 zip, boot into recovery. It is advised you follow their instructions however this is how I did mine. It worked for the most part.
Once you are in agats cwm recovery, wipe data/ factory reset/cache/dalvik. Don't think you need to format, but to he safe it'd be system/cache/data (check on that). Don't format internal or you will lose everything (like backups and zips among the important). You can then flash your ROM and gapps.
Reboot, will take a little while. Then go back into recovery when you can (it should be a new recovery that came with the ROM). Do all of the same methods above for a clean install of your ROM in this new recovery. Boot, and you SHOULD be set to go. Hope this helps.

You can google virgin mobile galaxy s2 gb28 recovery. It'll be on sex tapes forums. Follow their guide and they will have rooted and unrooted versions of the official jellybean release with agats. Also look for a user named TheBritton who has, literally a "noobs guide" to all ROMs/methods with links, for our phone. I'll find a link.

So you have the recovery flashed then. Which? Agats is for Touchwiz based ROMs not Cyanogenmod technically. Try my method. Go to sxtps website and look for GB28 w/Agats recovery. Flash a touchwiz ROM, like MidnightRom, then try CM10. (Or one of the better ROMs mentioned in this thread).

If you are interested in flashing it you must be almost fully stock. As in not flashed the stock rooted odex.

Your thread is changing direction but I can't resist commenting anyway. If your tablet is rooted, stock I don't think you will see big benefits to a custom ROM. For other tablets I use like the Kindle, Nook and N7 custom roms can make a huge difference. I'm running CM 10.? Or variants of that on those devices. My most used tablet is this 2.7 with stock ROM. If you must try another ROM, I'd suggest a sick based ROM that is deodexed with sound or visual enhancements. Also, changing to a noon, Touchwiz launcher will make big differences. GOOD LUCK!
P.S. quess what a ROMaholic might be.

[N7100 Leaked V4.3] PreRooted | BusyBox | No Flash counter | Odin Flashable | tar.md5

[N7100 Leaked V4.3] PreRooted Chainfire SuperSu 1.65| BusyBox | No Flash counter | Odin Flashable | tar.md5
For common questions read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466582
So before starting let me clear who are new here, This ROM is leaked ROM from samsung and not officially released, yet it won't raise flash counter, But It is WIPE ROM, so flashing YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA FROM DEVICE INCLUDING INT SD CARD.
Also to make clear no meaning to complaining about features not working and battery draining too much (actually it's better than MG1 in my point of view) ot this and that, I have injected Root + Busybox, rest of ROM is as it is as from what we have got. But of course friendly discussion are always welcome but NO Trolling please.
Don't expect any mod / to add mod in this thread as i earlier said this is simple prerooted ROM and no planning to add anything. of course if possible will try to make some mods, but really didn't get time to explore complete features yet, even since y'day it's on my device. But really after seeing @wanam 's Xposed module there is little we have remain to add.
Installation :
- Download and Extract to Prerooted.tar.md5 and Simply flash using Odin with PDA tab. Image for reference and text file along with Odin packed in zip.
File have tar.md5 and odin will check it by default f md5 is incorrect before flashing will start, no need to asking md5 check.
Download
N7100_N7100XXUEM16_N7100XXEM16_N7100XAEM16_Prerooted
For Deodexed ROM Look THIS
Recommendation :
- Make EFS backup before flashing and keep to safe place on PC/Cloud.
- If you want to use Mobile Odin, Don't select 'ever root' option
Creadits : As usual to @Chainfire for his SuperSU
@BSDgeek_Jake for his Host file

My all Prerooted ROMs are having only Root + Busybox + Samsung ROM as it is, nothing more or less.
Don't expect any modding in this ROM.

yeah yeah i know, My unlimited net was very slow so purchased 3G for you guys, it's 60% up. Hope dev host won't break in between
dr.ketan , system status shoud be official like it was in prerooted 4.1.2 with stock kernel and stock recovery ?
BTW dr. What do you recommend for flashing
Pc odin (3.07 is ok?) or mobile odin

@dr.ketan Just a question. I am currently stucked with Omega v16 because whenever I flashed a latest ROM the IMEI got corrupted and I can no longer use my note2 as a phone. So I ended up flashing a custom ROM this and that. Yes I have read your threads about this issues but my question is...flashing this leaked 4.3 ROM..is my device safe from getting the issue that I have described?

I recommend PC Odin
But If you use mobile odin, then don't select 'ever root' option otherwise chances are there you may lose root.

It' s weired, this should happen with older one.
Anyway make EFS backup before trying.

says there are compatibility issues. installation does not. I downloaded different versions, but it happens. I've got another Note2 4.1.2 installed but see it. There is no problem in it. 4.3 built by me rum, but does not see the leak.
Quick question dude: any news on downgrading to DMG1? Does it mess up efs or anything? I have an efs backup but I'd rather not have to restore it already as I've only had my note for 5 weeks now
Other than that glad to see you've got it pre rooted! If there arent downgrading issues I will flash this ASAP
