Cubit S600 update question

Hi all,
I have just got a Cubot S600 to try out Android as I have always been a Windows Mobile user.
The phone comes with 5.1 out the box, would it be possible to flash it with 6.0?
Many thanks in advance.

Official update of marshmallow is not released yet for your phone. You can check for updates in your phones settings if you want.cubot hasn't released list of phones to receive the updates either.
You can flash unofficial android 6 custom ROM if it is available
Look it up

Thanks for the reply, I understand that marshmallow is not available.
When I was cooking my own winmo6.5 ROMs I had to only have certain ROMs. I have been out the game a while, would any ROM work, or would I need specific roms ?

You would need device specific ROM or else your phone won't boot.

A few questions

Hey guys! So I have a few questions about the oneplus one here, I'm checking for a friend and I always had a nexus where matching firmware doesn't really matter much. So here they are.
1) What happens if you have the wrong firmware for a rom? Softbrick? Hardbrick? Nothing at all?
2) For a Nougat rom, what firmware do you use? Since this phone hasn't got an official firmware update for Nougat yet.
3) Is there a special recovery here on XDA that can flash all roms? (there was one for the oneplus two) or is TWRP good for all roms?
What confuses me the most about oneplus devices is how the firmware works different from most Android devices. Thanks guys!

Thanks! So it's not as important as it seems? I notice some roms here on XDA specifically say to have the newest firmware, or a certain version. The rom is still expected to boot? And what's the worst case scenario? A soft brick that can be easily fixed with TWRP or something worse? Thanks for the reply! Like I said, I'm coming from a Nexus 6 where none of this firmware stuff really applies :angel:

Yes the rom is a still expected to boot,though,the recommended frimware is to be used so as to avoid any bugs.
However,some roms do require the recommended frimware in order to boot but I don't think even if flash any rom which needs recommended frimware will take you in any kind of brick condition as when you flash a rom on incompatible frimware you'll see error in Twrp,if so happens you just need to have recommended frimware in your storage and flash it then flash the rom again and you'll not face any errors.
Good luck!

1. If you are using TWRP, nothing will happens. Because when you flash a ROM, TWRP will comparing your phone model with build.prop on the targeted ROM. Because based on my experience, somehow i download LineageOS for d802 and flash it to my bacon. TWRP gives an error and didn't flash any firmware. I don't know about CWM or other recovery
2. I'm using Lineage OS. It's pretty good so far. No bug or whatever
3. TWRP is good for all ROM. i think any recovery will do

After nearly 24 hrs test, I'm feeling some improvement on battery life and the drain is less than previous update

48 hours later: ROM is defective as previous v11.0.4.
crash / reboot / losing app preferences config / mock location unstable / crashing

No such issues with 11.0.4. Did you try to do a factory reset? Usually it helps with such strange issues.

This started happening after OTA update to 11.0.4
I've manually updated to 11.0.6 but same thing.
Thanks for the suggestion. I did that in the past with another Xiaomi device but the thing is that I'd like to avoid losing everything & restart from scratch...
I tried to clean all data/cache for all apps with a cleaner but without luck.
I'm hoping that a newer ROM will be able to fix the issue... Maybe I'm wrong... Will see with next update...
I have sent numerous crash bug reports to Xiaomi but they never bothered to contact me about it.
It seems they don't care or are too busy.

Give it a try, I saw a lot of reports where a factory reset solved such bizarre problems happening after major software change.

After flashing this I find out it is a Chinese ROM not the EU one and having issues with sim card not being recognized.......a lot of issues later I got the Sim card working again so be careful......

"euro" rom !?
do you mean global?
I used the one shared by subhraw here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81926515&postcount=3
instead of laughing you should tell us why you think it's a chinese only rom...
normally you cannot update a global rom with a chinese rom without doing a flash update
I did NOT use a flash tool (used instead MIUI update option)
so this is probably not a chinese only but a beta global ROM but I might be wrong...

New Mi 10 Ultra user needing help

Hello XDA forums,
I've recently required a global version of the mi 10 ultra after a phone swap. I'm not flash/bootloading/ROM toting gunslinger and have no clue about this software installed on the phone called TWRP.
From my research I've found it's a bootloader that allows the device to be used in other countries and gives access to Google play store.
But I just wondered whether going back to stock is an option, and if so, would that present any issues i.e. lose assess to play store.
If there is a simplified guide or any guide in general I'd be more than happy to look at it
Kind regards

Thank you for clarifying that for me having spoke to someone via the Xiaomi forums, they stated that it is used on the mi 10 ultra to by pass the Chinese stock ROM and allow Google play store.
The thing I'm lost about is what ROM am I currently using and how do I update it? Would you be able to direct me to some information to troubleshoot this?
Kind regards,

Basically Yes, you will lose access to the playstore as China does not allow it on their phones. The 10 ultra's sold to people outside of China had a cutdown version of Google services put on but it did not have location history or find phone and other parts. If you do go back to stock Chinese, you can find playstore app in their version of appstore and if you install it, you can get full Google services again.
If you have the Xiaomi EU ROM installed and you live outside of China, then that version is your best bet. It comes in 2 versions, weekly or stable and both are still updated, so make your choice, stock ROM is available here.. http:/mifirm.net and do a search for cas or mi 10 ultra and install the latest fastboot or recovery ROM if you have twrp recovery installed ( you probably will if you have the EU ROM) or pop over the Xiaomi EU forum for the latest info here.. https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/xiaomi-mi-10-pro-10lite-ultra-10t-pro-lite-10s.204/ and here for the weekly ROM.. https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-12-0-12-1-12-2-12-5-stable-release.56191/ and the weekly ROM here.. https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/21-6-16-17.61822/ .
All the info on twrp and the ROMs are on the Xiaomi EU forum but there is lots of help and advice here once you make your choice of where you want to go. The 10 Ultra is a dam good phone with the latest EU ROM installed.

Question MI 13 chinese rom to global rom

It is possible to buy a chinese version of mi 13 and after that install on the device a global miui rom?

For the moment, no, since the global version has not yet been released.
Afterwards you can but without being able to lock the bootloader, which means that the play store will not be certified and you will have to root the phone and use magisk or a Xiaomi Eu rom.

MIUI 14 EU best variant

Any chance can CN version to be converted Global without bootloader unlock? Or that's impossible at all?
I want that skyblue color that only available in CN market and want use google pay and banking apps as well, and that's need bootloader locked if I am not wrong.

On some version of rom sometimes the phone restarts on its own, but this is not your case?
it's since 14.0.21?
Can be tried a Weekly by updating (to return after a stable, clean flash required).
Is the phone rooted?

Try the Taiwan global rom with miui message, dialer apps.

It's really surprising because one of the Xiaomi Eu rom devs has a Xiaomi 13, maybe try the last Weekly or there is a HW problem that happened between two roms.
