I would firstly like to apologise in advance to all the members in here that are gurus. (I get paranoid when it comes to things that I describe bellow)
So I have just bought and received my mi4c, but as I am sure a great deal of people in this forum, I am experiencing certain things I do not like. What am I referring to you may ask? Primarily the massive amount of Chinese bloatware + unstable google services.
I have done a bit of my homework but I got stuck and came here. So here is the list of things that I am trying to do:
Install international rom (http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-10-8.28692/) for gapps and removal of bloat
root
custom recovery (twrp)
So here is the challenge.. I do not know in what order to do them. I also found this thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/development/flash-twrp-using-flashify-app-pc-dev-rom-t3230355) which is basically root + recovery but it asks you to use a developer rom, wouldn't that be pointless if I am going to flash the international one?
Can someone please point me in the correct direction
Thanks in advance.
The rom from xiaomi.eu has to be flashed with TWRP - so you have two choices:
1. boot or flash TWRP via fastboot and after that flash the Rom from Xiaomi.eu
or if you do not want to mess with drivers and computer and fastboot:
2. use the built in updater app to change to the chinese/english stock developer! rom found here (dev version has root built in) - after that flash TWRP via an app like flashify (play store) - flash Xiaomi.eu within TWRP
i chose the 1. Variant and did only BOOT TWRP (fastboot boot .....) and did not permanently flash it at this time - so i could make a nandroid backup of the complete stock ROM - including the stock recovery first ! If you go this way too - do a backup of the ESF partition too because this one contains your IMEI and MAC Adress infos - can help to have this backup in the hand if something fails. If you have an OTG cable you can directly backup to an external USB Stick (must be FAT32 formatted !). I found this was the best solution for me before permanently flashing any other ROM.
Be aware that if you boot TWRP (temporarily or permanent flashed version) the touch sometimes simply does not work (in a few cases the power button did not work too). Solution: wait two or three minutes until the touch begins to work.... i used the TWRP (DEV Variant of the recovery) found here. Because the touch begins to work a little faster (sometimes it works instant).
since the last 2 weeks i stick with the sMIUI ROM (its a "slimmed" Xiaomi.eu ROM) you can cook your individual slimmed variant here. And you can read a little about it here.
Hope this helps you....

Thank you for your response just 1 thing I do not understand, is there a difference between the developer rom and the international 1 I mentioned? and when you say I can flash it using the the updater app to flash the dev rom (it sounds easier to me + safer) do you know how to do this? (is it this : "You can also use Mi PC Suite to flash the ROM "?)
YES the Rom you posted is a "Custom Rom" and is not officially (Xiaomi). Thats why the website says:
Unofficial International MIUI / Xiaomi Phone Support
the original (official) Xiaomi Rom - Stable and Developer - for Mi4c is only available in Chinese and english language and is translated by the community Xiaomi.eu and optimized (removed chinese apps that wouldn't work for you anyway)
How to install stock android 6.0 on Mi 4c?
I am getting an Mi4c, straight from China, but don't want the heavy MIUI lagging the performance. I would like to intstall the stock android. How can I do it? Also :-
1. Will the edge tap and other features work outside of MIUI?
2. Will Google play services be installed alongwith the stock android ROM?
I'm newbie to the rooting scene......please be little comprehensive in explanation :angel:
Cheers!!

As far as i know there's no announcement for android marshmallow update for the Mi4c yet. Neither for Miui nor for CyanogenMod (CM).
... I guess CM is what you meant with "stock android".
There's just an unofficial build for CM and I guess as long it's not official there won't be edge tap support for the device.
And you have to flash google apps by yourself.
The reseller ROM they ship with 77.00.44 is total trash. I chose to keep the Chinese dev ROM as there are several Mi apps I like to use in conjunction with Gapps. It is playing very nice with my battery now.
I've bought a used OPO that comes with Darkobas v.20160602-0, runs Android 6.0.1, kernel version 3.4.111-LightningSultanRemix...
The phone is rooted, and has Busy Box installed (not sure what this does).
I'd like to re-install Cyanogenmod or Cyanogen OS, whichever is easier, this being the first time I try to change a phone's OS.
Which one of the two - mod or OS - is easier to install?
Do the same steps apply as switching from stock Android to either of them?
Can you point me to an updated tutorial? I've searched a few, but got stuck at installing TWRP. I've installed TWRP Manager app, but it says Custom recovery not installed or not detected.
many thanks!
Switching over to COS or CM involve same number of steps.
Hold Power+Vol Low buttons to enter into recovery mode, if twrp loads then it's already installed.

MIUI 8 GLOBAL BETA 6.8.11 reported for DOOGEE DG700
Requirements:
Stock 4.4 KK firmware installed on the phone
Custom recovery
A working brain ... and some patience!
Credits:
All credits go to team ARGN for crossporting MTK6592 to MTK6582 and updating their ported rom here
Me for porting from Gionee M2 to DG700
Feautures:
Cross ported from the latest MIUI8 xiaomi.eu release for Redmi Note. (credits go to team ARGN)
DG700 rom uses as base TEAM ARGN crossports from MTK6592 to MTK6582.
Working: dual sim 3g (using dual sim control apk), wifi, bluetooth, gps, camara, sdcard, and everything else.
No chiness apps
All gapps preinstalled as system apps.
Enhanced camera pics quality (must be enabled in camera settings).
Repartitioned internal storage to 6G, custom carliv touch recovery (using stock kk firmware in the downloads at the end of the post).
Xposed and xposed modules working.
Many more ...
Known bugs:
Theme apk SOMETIMES FC's, but themes are working.
NVRAMWARNING wifi bug, easilly fixable (search xda or google for fix), wifi works just ok even with the NVRAMWARINING bug.
Battery capacity will be shown only at 3100mah, even so battery life is far more superior than the actual R25 lollipop firmware for DG700. (I get about 3 days with wifi / data on, moderate usage of the phone on the current MIUI8 based on kk rom)
Custom recovery CTR touch NOT WORKING. USE HARDWARE KEYS!
Installing
Download DG700_MIUI8_beta_global_6.8.11.zip (link at the end of the post), copy it on the sd card.
Download Stock R14 firmware linked at the end of the post (the attached build INCLUDES CTR custom recovery and repartitioned internal storage to 6G), unzip the archive and flash it with sp flash tools.
After flashing R14 go directly to recovery, DO NOT BOOT into android.
Once in recovery take the following steps:
1. Wipe and Format Options > Clean to Install a new rom ... wait for the recovery to wipe system, data, go back to the main menu
2. Install zip > Choose zip from storage/sdcard1 > browse for DG700_MIUI8_beta_global_6.8.11.zip and select it, install and wait for the installer to finish, go back to the main menu
3. Reboot system now, when asked to install su / root phone, select NO! (if you want to root the phone later you can install Chainfire SU binaries from the recovery, and than SU app from the market)
Wait for the rom to load, for the first time it will take some time ... be patient.
If you are not on stock KK THIS WILL NOT WORK! After flashing R14 firmware you will loose the IMEI's. Follow the guide frome here to restore the IMEI's:IMEI REPAIR / RESTORE /BACKUP
Customizing ... well ... the sky is the limit ... I use Plak to remove titles from the hotseat / launcher icons (as you cans see in the attached screenshots) and MIUI Tweaks for status bar (notification bar) customization ...
IF ALL GOES WELL or IF YOU ENCOUNTER ANY PROBELMS PLEASE POST BACK!
If this post helped you hit the Thanks button!
ENJOY!

You will need to use spflash tool and the stock rom attached in my first post in order to install (flash) kitkat. Search google or xda for a tutorial on how to use spflash tool.
Have in mind that this is an advanced process and many things might go wrong if you don't have experience with flashing the whole android on your phone.
I think that at some point even doogee had a tutorial at their site showing how to upgrade from kitkat to lollipop (see here: http://www.doogee.cc/download.php?ProId=41). It is the same process only you need to format the whole phone before flashing and instead of flashing lp use kk images and scatter attached by me. If you're not sure what you are doing do some research first ... there are lots of great tutorials on the net for spflashtools and mtk6582 phone. Also have in mind that for some newer DG700 models it is impossible to flash kitkat because of some drivers issues ... or so it was stated on the 4pda.ru dg700 thread.
Hey @tvladan,
thanks a lot for this thread!!!
My experience and feedback:
All went smooth until I booted with the Miui installed. Because the IMEI problem I was not able to log into android (use than play store) nor Miui and the system would not let me go any further until I could by magic.
IMEI
I could not log in (system need unique phone ID such IMEI) so I needed to get the apks and move/save on the sdcard to be installed.
I could not restore the IMEI with MTK which was suggesting a reset in order to fix it and I had no clue how to reset (not reboot).
Mobile uncle. I made a IMEI backup but even if the app was restoring without problem, it really did not do anything also after rebooting
Chameleon: the only app that did something although not permanent. I'm working to fix it
Nvram error: fixed with no issue as on this thread
MIUI: it is definitively a nice designed UI although the one I personally do not prefer. It is flexible if you want to do things as developers allow you which is on my opinion sometime to strick if we consider we all are looking for a rooted phone and than we are bond by the UI. For sure there are some features that are useful as were some I really appreciate from the stock ROM. One example: I agree that moving app to the SD card might slow down the system and use more battery but now that I've achieved a 6GB rom I'm using all of it for the app and just marginal cache/data will be saved on the SD....
@tvladan: If I'd like to try only the KK rom without the MIUI and avoid the IMEI problem, are the following steps correct:
1) restore LP with TWRP
2) install stock R14 KK
3) install your KK with 6gb partition
If this is correct, in all this writing and overwriting, is there any chance I'll flash the recovery TWRP?
In case it will happen, can I use the one as by this thread by @NaturalBornCamper
thanks and enjoy your DG700
ciao

Yes you can install stock kk but not using the steps you posted. You can not restore it via twrp, you must flash it with spflash tools (using format mode, kk or lp, as you please) BUT you will still loose imei's. This happens because of the format method used by spflash tools, in most MTK phones, that erases all the internal partitions of the phone.
Regarding LP, there is a latest firmware (official) by dooge - R25 that has the internal memory repartitioned to 5.5Gb. I would recommand installing that and than rooting (if needed) via twrp using chainfire binaries. You can download the R25 from here: https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B_UWiyCZx5s1Z2xxZTRYTE9OcGc&export=download. The thread by NaturalBornCamper is old, deprecated and useless now. That was in the beggining when we did not have a custom recovery or the knowledge on how to root / repartition the DG700 phone.
Regarding lost IMEIS i RECOMMAND the MAUI 3G METHOD to restore them for our phone presented here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/unite-2/general/guide-repair-imei-invalid-micromax-t3048984 It needs a little more work, but once the correct drivers are installed it should work no matter what! (It also has a video tutorial, with some patience and little knowledge you should succeed in properly restoring the IMEI's). In your situation, whatever rom / firmware you will flash now using spflsh tools it will NOT restore the imei's because the nvram was formated.
Good Luck!
LE: To sum it up, to have the latest LP, repartitioned and rooted you will have to follow these steps (and have some knowledge on how to use spflash tools)
1. Flash R25 using spflashtools in format mode.
2. Start up the phone, wait to boot into android (just wait, it will take a while because it will encrypt the data partition). Setup the phone, fix imei's using maui 3g tool methond posted above. At this point you should have a "re-partitioned", unrooted, on stock recovery phone with the proper IMEI's
3. Download the latest chainfire su binaries from here: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/ and copy the zip to sd card. (UPDATE-supersu-v...... link)
4. Flash TWRP using spflashtools in download mode.
5. DO NOT START ANDROID, Reboot the phone in recovery mode witch should be now twrp that you just flashed before. If you start up android it is possible and very likely that it will restore the stock recovery, but if restarting in twrp first it will override the restoring of the stock recovery forever.
6. Flash the update-supersu-file via twrp
7. Reboot the phone in andorid (if asked by twrp to root, select NO), go to the market, instal chainfire supersu apk, and voila you are now on the latest LP (witch is repartitioned), custom twrp recovery and rooted.
if you need the link to twrp only pls post back I'll upload it somewhere for you!
ciao @tvladan,
thanks for your reply.
Quick question: as I did back up the LP with TWRP including NVRAM, if I restore it will it be permanent? I read the thread you suggested about IMEI/NVRAM but if this work it is a straight shot
I'd like to try the R25 LP and KK. Did you tried both? KK apparently was better compared to the LP up to R24.
Thanks

LP moves a little slower than kk. Nothing to worry about. Regarding battery life there is a 12 -24 hours difference from lp to kk, kk lasting longer. If you install xposed framework on lp it will move a LOT slower. If you do not need xposed I recommend R25 LP. Also I have no knowledge of TWRP being able to backup nvarm. I might be wrong. All you can do is try different methods until you succeed. It is a devious and annoying process but when you get it right you'll be satisfied. Also after lots of hours fking around with this phone I really stand by the steps posted in my previous post as to how to repartition / root / repair imeis the fastest way!

About #4), flash TWRP. I have used the one posted by @NaturalBornCamper on his thread on step 11
If the TWRP for KK is different please post
I'm working on R25
Next fun step, R14
Thanks
It is the same twrp, works on kk and lp. You have the right one. For r25 it does not matter on what you are now, the spflashtool needs to format all the phone in order to install r25.
Thanks and good to know.
Now I'm getting curious about NVRAM/IMEI and TWRP...
TWRP can make backup of NVRAM and I did before installing the KK with MIUI8.
If I understood correctly IMEI information is stored in the NVRAM so, theoretically, if I restore the first back up of the NVRAM I should restore also the IMEI?!?!?!
how can I check the difference between a temporary IMEI installation like with chamelephone from a permanent solution?

All you can do is try to restore via twrp ... temp imei restore should be erased at reboot.
Thank you for this very Good rom. it's better than the stock KitKat

Unfortunately it is not possible to restore lolipop over kitkat or opposite because of the big differences in partition tables used by each of them. So the only way to restore a nandroid image is to flash stock with spflash tools with format, install the custom recovery and than restore the recovery backup.

I rooted my ZenFone 4 max and installed Xposed. Ended up installing an Xposed module that caused the system UI to crash on boot. So I did a factory reset from TWRP, which fixed the UI. But now most of my apps crash and force-close. Anyone have an idea how to fix this? Would flashing stock firmware work? And if so, where can I get the stock recovery? (I already downloaded the stock firmware from Asus website)

I got a notification for an ota system update, figured I didn't have much to loose, so I went ahead and told it to install. It started installing, then booted to recovery (twrp) and then crashed, and wouldn't load the operating system, would only boot to twrp. I restored a (bad [backed up after problems started]) twrp backup I had, and now everything seems to be working just fine. So the ota update must have fixed whatever was causing app crashes. At this point with everything I have done, the code probably looks like Frankenstein's monster, but everything works, so I'm happy and am going to leave everything the way it is. Hope this might help if someone is having similar problems!

I assume you have successfully rooted the phone?
Which other versions of software are you speaking of? Custom ROMs or just apps that would take the place of Google Play?
Have you tried flashing MindTheGapps instead?

Otherwise unless you absolutely have to use stock ROM on the phone I would recommend LineageOS. I installed this on a Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos (not china version) myself a while ago and it works great.
Make sure you do a full backup of your phone in TWRP before you flash if you want to try this!

For rooting LineageOS 18.1 you need Magisk
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v23.0/Magisk-v23.0.apk
This is how I did it:
FLASHING LineageOS 18.1 IN TWRP RECOVERY
Firstly Format Data (instead of a simple Wipe Data)
Then do an Advanced Wipe of Cache, Dalvik+Art Cache & System
** THIS STEP WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE OF ALL DATA **
Then flash LineageOS and MindTheGapps one after the other, in that order & in one go without restarting the phone!
Exit out of TWRP Recovery by rebooting into System.
FLASHING Magisk 23.0 IN TWRP RECOVERY
Download Magisk23.0.apk from official Magisk website and rename it to Magisk.zip.
Flash the Magisk.zip file.
Exit out of TWRP Recovery by rebooting into System.
On first boot after installing Magisk phone reboots on boot animation once.
Once phone is booted, start the Magisk app and allow it to install the full app.
I LEAVE NO GUARANTEES this will work for you so it's on your OWN responsibility if you choose to try it. I can only say it worked for me.
