Available ROM & Download Links
The variants sold outside of China come with the Global ROM including Google Apps.
For devices that have the Official Chinese ROM, it's only possible to flash the Official Global ROM after you unlock your device due to region mismatch.
OTA or recovery zips can be flashed in the official MIUI updater app if it matches your region) or if you're unlocked, you can flash through TWRP whatever you want.
Fastboot ROM can be flashed by using fastboot or the XiaoMi Flash Tool.
ROMs:
Recovery can be flashed through the Updater app on your phone (if locked, china can only flash china, global can only flash global) or better through TWRP Recovery (if unlocked, can of course flash any region over any).
Fastboot can be flashed by connecting your phone through USB and use XiaoMi Flash Tool or fastboot.
Custom ROMs can be flashed by TWRP (if unlocked)

Available TWRP recoveries & Download Links
TWRP by xiaomi.eu and miuiItalia
The first versions are from xiaomi.eu and miuiItalia and aren't able to read encrypted internal storage. If you want to flash something with this TWRP you need to format your internal storage then copy the file over in MTP mode and flash it. So you loose your storage all the time. No problem when you want to cleanly flash new ROMs, but annoying when you just flash magisk, mods and other things.
Download TWRP polaris by xiaomi.eu
Download TWRP by miuiItalia
TWRP by notsyncing
notsyncing's version is able to work with encrypted storage. You need to enter your pin or draw your lock pattern in order to work. Switching between different ROMs like Chinese/Global/Custom you most probably still need to format your /data, but when you stay on the same ROM no need to wipe or format.

Guide: Install Google Apps & Contact Sync on Chinese ROMs
Chinese ROMs don't contain Google Apps. Especially if you didn't unlock your phone you probably want to install Google Apps and Framework:
Download the Oreo Google Apps package: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818222786056028173 and extract it on your phone
Install every APK from 1-6 without opening them after installation!
Install 8.0-Oreo.com.google.android.gsf_8.0.0-4147944-26_minAPI26.apk
Don't inistall the remaining two APKs
Download and install the updated contacts sync 8.1.0 APK: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-contacts-sync/google-contacts-sync-8-1-0-release/google-contacts-sync-8-1-0-2-android-apk-download/
Go into Settings > Installed apps and find all Google Apps in the list. Select each of them and turn on Autostart Permission. Additionally go into Permissions and enable all permissions in there. Again: Do this for all Apps you've just installed or that have the name Google or Contacts or Calendar in it.
Reboot your phone
Login to your google account, by opening Settings > Sync > Add Account > Google
Guide: Install Global ROM (leak)

Guide: Install official Android P developer preview
Google announced the Android P preview officially for the Mi Mix 2S as shown here: https://developer.android.com/preview/devices/
Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader
ROM: http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.5.3/polaris_dp_global_images_8.5.3_20180503.0000.00_9.0_ef2f024b87.tgz
Setup after first boot needs to be completed in Chinese. Then afterwards changing the language to English is possible
Steps to install: Download Android P for Mi Mix 2S: http://www.mi.com/en/androidppreview/
Guide: Unlock bootloader
On your phone, login to your Miui Account, if you don't have an account, create one. That's under Settings > MI Account
Enable developer mode on your phone, under Settings > My Device > All Specs > Tap on MIUI version 5 times until the toast notification tells you that you're a developer
Go into Settings > Additional Settings > Developer options > Enable: OEM unlocking, then go into MI Unlock status and "Add account and device". (If you get an error messages, you need to use a VPN app and connect to a city in Mainland China, like Beijing)
Download and run http://en.miui.com/unlock/ the unlocker app on your computer, login with your MI Account. The first time you may have to apply for Unlocking permissions with your MI Account. The SMS confirmation code they send you may take several days to arrive. Please be patient and don't try to unlock your device before.
After you got your SMS confirmation code, enter it in the unlocker application on your computer and connect your phone via USB
Try to unlock your phone.
Sometimes Xiaomi will now force you to wait for up to 360 hours until you can try again to unlock. This is annoying, but you have to wait. Otherwise your account may be blocked.

Info: You can enable developer mode, turn on USB debugging and use ADB on your PC instead of the terminal on your android. After installing Minimal ADB & Fastboot on your PC, search for the link in your start menu and open it.

Code:
adb devices

Enable Google Maps Location Sharing & Location History on Chinese MIUI ROM
You need Magisk properly installed on your ROM and then download & install the module: Unlock CN GMS
Google Camera with HDR+
Some modified versions of Google Camera may allow to use HDR+ with the Mi Mix 2S. For some these may work:
defcomg-fix_OP6v0.3_MGC_5.1.018_FINAL_3.4A.apk
As the modders keep creating new fixes, you should try out new versions from here regularily and see if HDR+ works and the portrait camera works.

Thanks for your effort. About the quoted part i don't think it will work by following this steps. People in this topic tried without success: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/how-to/global-stable-rom-link-t3786717
It seems the proper way is the one it follows:
teddy74eva said:
I've just tried it and the bootloader has to be unlocked, otherwise the phone will not boot. But thanks for your guide, I have succesfully installed Global, many thanks so to sum things up, to install Global rom you need to:
Unlock your bootloader
Flash TWRP from Xiaomi.eu
Flash Global from first post and WITHOUT rebooting flash region fix from carburano's guide
Now you can reboot to system

I think, he never test his guide himself... the rom is the same as in the other link here from italian guy and it is not an fastboot rom. So i wonder, how he flash this file with miui-flash... so i think, he never had flash this.

I've ordered the 8GB-256GB model and it has the Chinese ROM, can I flash the Global ROM regardless of bootloader status etc.

Well this time xiaomi forced me to wait for 360 hours before i can unlock, even though my mi account has unlock permissions since 2016... So i can't yet validate anything.
Thanks for your input. I'll adapt the guide

Right now you can't flash with locked bootloader. Maybe it will be possible when Xiaomi releases a fastboot rom. According some users this rom release will be in the next few days.

I suggest you to unlock it too. After ROM installation you can lock it again. It seems it will not be possible to flash with a locked bootloader even for an Official Rom.

[AIO] [Guide] [Unlock bootloader] [TWRP[ROM Flashing] [Root]

Xiaomi Pocophone F1 [Beryllium]​
WARNING: Before attempting to root your device, do note that by unlocking your bootloader and modifying your device with root, ROMs, etc... you are NOT risking voiding your warranty! I am NOT responsible for what you do to your device either, so follow these instructions at your own risk. Make sure you know what you're doing, it's best to understand the process rather than just copy and paste commands and such.
Unlocking the bootloader​
You will have to apply for unlocking bootloader for that make sure you do have MI Account if not then create now, Once you are done with then visit here and make sure you use same mi account you have in your phone then wait for 2-3 days. After that download, the latest MI Unlock tool(Shared in download section) Run mi*.exe as admin and simply sign in there as well. Now move to your phone --> Settings app --> About phone --> Tap on MIUI for 6-7 times and you will see "you are a developer now", go back to main settings additional options --> Developer options --> Turn on OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging. Also allow USB Debugging from this PC If you still didn't get simply revoke all and connect usb then in adb type "adb devices", you will see a prompt on your mobile just tick and allow. You will also see an option called as "Mi Unlock status" click on it and click on "Add account and device" Now turn off your phone and go to fastboot mode for that press and hold volume down + power key. You will see "FASTBOOT MODE" on your phone now move to your PC and connect USB. Now once your phone appears in Mi Unlock Tool just click on "Unlock" "It will pop up some prompts" agree with them by clicking "Unlock anyway", It simply means your data will be wiped and warranty will be void! Once that's done it will reach till 99%(In most cases) and will show wait for some hours like for me it said to wait for 72hrs. This may vary user to user. Now once your waiting time is over try again. If it shows press any key to poweroff on your phone when you connect in fastboot then try changing the port or simply reset your device and redo changes that we did (Follow above process again as USB debugging will be off by default, reset ) Now you are done with unlocking the bootloader let's move to TWRP​
Flashing TWRP​This is one of easiest step, just open cmd in adb folder and type following codes :
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash recovery *your recovery name.img
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
We are done with flashing TWRP now let's move to encryption issues!​
DFE ​
Now this is most critical. If you skip you will have to flash stock ROM again so don't mess here!
Download vendor image, dfe, your favorite custom ROM, Gapps, Magisk(Everything mentioned in the download section
Boot into TWRP --> Wipe --> Format data! Reboot to recovery from TWRP menu and flash DFE. Now, go to system and setup MIUI and then come back to TWRP for flashing your favorite custom ROM. Now in TWRP --> Wipe --> Advance wipe choose system, data, dalvik & cache --> Swipe to wipe. Now copy those files to your Sdcard. Then go back to main TWRP page and choose --> Install, Now follow the order of flashing these files(most important)
* Flash vendor image i.e beryllium-9.4.8-9.0-vendor-firmware.zip(This is optional if you had latest MIUI ROM then you can skip this)
* Flash ROM & Gapps
* Flash DFE i.e DisableForceEncryption.zip
* Flash Magisk(up to you, only if you want root)
* Reboot
Enjoy! You are done with it. Yea.. ik Download section is mentioned below!
Here's a quick tip always flash DFE whenever you update ROM as the vendor might be changed, This will ensure the safe running of the device!
​

Download section :​
* Mi Unlock Tool
* TWRP(official)
* Vendor image
* DFE
Enjoy! ​

You can't have the cake and eat it too!
By flashing Magisk, you modify /system and you lose the ability to receive and flash OTA.
AFAIK, there is no official TWRP version which can handle OTAs. The unofficial ones were created for specific purposes and so they fail in some other respect.

Cannot flash RN7Pro

Hi
I can't flash my redmi note 7 pro.
Bootloader is unlocked: I did the procedure, there is the unlocked logo at boot, and Dev options says "OEM unlock: device already unlocked".
I tried the Pixel Experience way, I ran the command "fastboot flash recovery" under Windows (opens a shell window that immediately closes) and under Linux (nothing happens), and I also tried the Xiaomi flash tool which ends up with a "cannot find the file flash all bat".
Would someone have any idea?
Thanks!!

I am running MIUI Global 11.0.4.0 | Stable (PFGMIXM) at the moment. Which is not the same as you indicated (I believe yours is Indian version dated 22 Oct 2019).
This page does not include any Global rom: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/firmware/violet/
And the Global ROM available on MIUI website under the RN7Pro page (https://c.mi.com//miuidownload/detail?device=1700360) is noted "lavender" and not "violet" - and I do not want to risk installing the wrong firmware, I've read a few topics and it does not ends well.
So bottom line: which one should I work with?
thanks again!

OK, I've found 2 options:
This one here on XDA:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7-pro/how-to/miui-11-public-beta-violet-t3973921
(dowloading the "Fastboot ROM V11.0.6.0")
But it is 11.0.6.0 while my phone is under 11.0.4.0: is this a problem?
This other one:
Note 7 Europe V11.0.4.0.PFGEUXM at: https://www.leakite.com/xiaomi-redmi-note-7-pro-firmware-fastboot-recovery-rom/
It's not exactly the same code (PFGEUXM instead of PFGMIXM), I don't know if it makes any difference?
Sorry for keeping asking question, but I'd better be safe since I am very new to this kind of things...
and thanks a lot for your help and patience.

HI again
it still won't flash no matter what.
I'll deal with it
the reason I wanted to flash was essentially to remove all non necessarry stuff, which I did by following the "remove bloatware" thread.
thanks anyway

Thanks!
Based on PE instructions (https://telegra.ph/Flashing-PE-for-the-first-time-using-the-AOSP-Recovery--Or-updating-12-06) and if I understand properly:
- I download the firmware and Aosp recovery
- I enter in fastboot and connect the phone to PC, then I type fastboot flash recovery.img (in folder Download+Recovery)
- Then reboot into the new recovery
- Then Tap the power + vol up(2 times vol up) together once or twice and the AOSP recovery menu will pop up
- I then type adb sideload NameofthePErom.zip
- Then: Use the volume keys to select Factory Reset and confirm. ( If you want to format data if not just ignore this part )
- Reboot!
Am I correct?
I'll give it a try even though I don't understand why flashing aosp would work when flashing other stuff didn't... But who knows!
Will let you guys know anyway.

Also check the recovery in the extracted folder, I got a twrp recovery so I guess I have facee issues with flashme.bat (immediate close).
If u face that issue, download aosp recovery separately or from their telegram channel and flash using fastboot cmd and do the rest..

[GUIDE] Rooting the UMIDIGI S5 Pro | Magisk

EDIT: I attached a zip with AIDA64's reports for this phone. One report has Magisk hidden from AIDA64, the other doesn't.
This mostly a copy of _cab13_'s Rooting the UMI F2 post as the same instructions for rooting that phone are how I rooted the S5 Pro. So please give _cab13_ thanks here if this helped you root your phone. I'll take a thanks for removing the orange state warning if I helped you with that
Please be patient when posting questions, I will get back to you as quickly as I can. I just have many responsibilities which take up a great deal of my time.
Rooting the S5 Pro
Disclaimers
This is important, please read thoughtfully.
whatever you do, NEVER EVER use SP Flash Tool in "Format All+Download" mode. This will wipe your IMEI['s]s and some other bad stuff will happen like loss of fingerprint sensor. This cannot be reversed by us.
Once bootloader is unlocked, warranty is considered void. By following this guide, you consent to that happening. Safety net CTS will not pass anymore unless you flash Magisk which hides the unlocked bootloader.
Never re-lock your bootloader while running anything unofficial as the phone will not boot until you unlock again.
And, once again, a lot of bad things can happen like boot loops, if that happens to you, don't freak out! Simply re-flash the stock ROM, redoing the rooting process from the start. It might be time consuming, but that's your safest bet!
More important even, have fun rooting, it's before all a hobby!

UMIDIGI Community Forum S5 Pro Thread
Unlocking Bootloader
ATTENTION!! After unlocking the bootloader, all user data in the phone's memory will be lost, so do not forget to throw all the most important things on your computer or flash drive!
1) Activate "Developer options" through Settings > About Phone > Tap Build Number multiple times.
2) Open "Developer options" in Settings > System > Tap Advanced.
Enable "OEM Unlocking" and enter your password to confirm. Enable "USB Debugging" as well.
3) On Windows, download and install Minimal ADB and Fastboot by shimp208
On Linux, use your package manager to install android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot
4) Open command prompt (Win + R > type cmd) or a terminal on linux.
5) Plug your phone, accept the prompt about adb and the PC signature.
6) Type adb reboot bootloader to reboot in fastboot mode. Unplug your cable from your phone
and replug it after fastboot is printed at the bottom of the screen.
THESE NEXT TWO STEPS WILL COMPLETELY WIPE YOUR DATA
7) Unlock the bootloader using fastboot flashing unlock and pressing Vol+
8) Unlock the secure partitions using fastboot flashing unlock_critical and pressing Vol+
9) Restart using fastboot reboot
You will now always see "Orange State" at boot; this is completely fine and will only delay your boot by 5 seconds.
Rooting using Magisk patched boot.img
This is "experimental" and is probably overkill, but everyone managed to install Magisk with it.
1) Clean install UMIDIGI_S5Pro_20200702.V3.02 (or the European one) with SPFT by selecting the scatter file, pressing download an rebooting the phone
(Make sure it is in "Download Mode" and not "Format + Download")
2) Patch boot.img by copying it to your device, using Magisk Manager to patch it, and get back the magisk_patched.img in the Download folder back to your PC.
3) Start ADB while booted; run adb reboot bootloader. Alternative is to reboot to recovery and selecting "reboot to bootloader"
4) unlock if not already done with fastboot flashing unlock followed by fastboot flashing unlock_critical
5) In the following code, the vbmeta.img and the recovery.img are the stock files from the ROM you downloaded and extracted.
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash boot magisk_patched.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot
When rebooting, install Magisk Manager. It will prompt to finalize the installation, you can do so.
Congratulations ! You are now a proud Magisk user ! All credits goes to @topjohnwu he's the real MVP here.
Returning to stock / Resolving issues
The best way to resolve any issue is to return to stock. Here is the method.
1) Download latest stock ROM on UMIDIGI's forums
2) Download SP Flash Tool if you don't have it yet (Windows only)
3) Extract stock ROM in SP Flash Tool directory. Refer to Flash Tool guide if needed.
4) Open SP Flash Tool, Download Tab, "Choose" in Scatter-loading file, select the scatter file in the stock ROM directory.
5) If you want to keep your data, untick "userdata" partition. MAKE SURE FORMAT IS NOT SELECTED!
6) Press Download and connect your device via USB. Reboot the phone or turn it off and everything will be flashed.
7) If you want a full stock experience, I recommend relocking the bootloader so that SafetyNet will pass. Get into fastboot mode by using adb reboot bootloader and use fastboot flashing lock_critical followed by fastboot flashing lock. This will wipe your data once more.
You should be good to go.
ONE LAST THING
Get rid of your orange state warning.
Download the attached zip file and extract.
Put your phone into fastboot and:
Code:
fastboot erase lk
fastboot erase lk2
fastboot flash lk lk_patched.img
fastboot flash lk2 lk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
No more orange state warning! Reflash the stock lk before unrooting, though.
ATTACHED LK FILE IS FOR UMIDIGI S5 Pro ONLY.

Thank you for re-posting this as an option to root the S5. I did get stuck on flashing the recovery. I have tried a few times and every time it just flashes orange , restarts and loads normally. I have verified root.
i have used the recovery found here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-rooting-umidigi-s5-pro-magisk-t4151183
I have no success installing TWRP. Do you know if twrp has a recovery that will work?

Hey guys it's me again !
Got some good news : I bought a S5 Pro as well
And I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT !
I might get into rooting it soon, idk.
Thanks for the shout-out @zerosava

No luck for me finding a custom recovery (twrp or anything else.)
If you have any exp with them, see if you can make the F2's (found in the F2 root thread) work. It SHOULD only need a minumum of tweaking, just to account for the (afaik) slight soc differences. i'm not gonna hold my breath. there seems to be a void when it comes to enthusiasm for this phone. by my serial no, i have the 4832nd phone manufactured. compared to serials ranging from 22000- 189000 for my other umis (f1play, s3pro, f2, power3)

I think I'll try making TWRP soon for it.
The F2 TWRP would not be usable this easily, it's easier to start fresh.
If anyone wants to try, download the sources for the F2 TWRP on my GitHub, then you need to extract the stock kernel and replace the F2's with the S5pro's

root working thanx

i followed the instructions but i got stuck after step 4 it would be nice if this had a video walkthrough thanks for the guide though =w= 10/10 would try to root again lol

hello folks,
This message is not about rooting s5 but rather about downgrading. I posted on the umidigi forum but have not received an answer. So the problem is the new OTA update that they pushed out yesterday. After update I lost 4G connectivity and i am unable to restore it. I want to roll back to the previous update. They have the roms available on the forum and I downloaded one but what I am not sure is can I use SP flash tool to just download the older ROM version on top of the new one?
I see lots of manuals on how to update but how do I safely downgrade?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do a "download only" flash of the "super", " vbmeta_system", and "vbmeta_vendor" partitions only (uncheck all other partitions) from the previous ROM. That should do it.

What precisely stuck you?

There is a new update firmware please make a rooting tutorial on youtube.,

Somebody made a custom TWRP and posted it on here. So if that'll help anyone out and get them to make a tutorial video, that be great. 'Cause I'm reading this over and over again, and I think I can do it, but I'm being very hesitant about it. And it's getting me all frustrated. I had it on "Flash Mode". And when I continued typing it out, it didn't go through and that had me on a raging panic attack. Luckily, it didn't mess up. But now I'm more hesitant. Please make a quick tutorial, doesn't even have to be perfect...

I am able to get FastBoot Mode on my screen (through step 6). I plug the phone back in per directions & I hear the Windows device connected chime.
I type: fastboot flashing unlock in the same cmd window
and I get "<waiting for any device>" in the cmd window and it hangs.
Every few seconds I hear the Windows device disconnected noise, but no device connect chime. This lasts indefinitely.
I repeated step 7 several times with variations with the Vol+ button: pressing first, holding down while pressing enter in cmd window, pushing afterward, holding down afterward, etc. Same results as described above.
Any help available? Should I not unplug my phone from the PC? The F2 directions did not require that.
thanks!
