Hello friends. I have Redmi Note 8. I'm currently using the latest Indonesian rom, but it hangs a lot and has performance issues. I have a few questions regarding rom and root.
-Do we need root access to recover and install roms? Can't we directly flash the recovery and then install the rom and use it?
-Will there be any certificate problems in google play and problems in banking applications with a rooted and ROM device? Can we use the rom without root?
-What is the best custom rom you recommend? Android version doesn't matter. I'm not looking for customization, just stable and error-free. I am waiting for aosp and other roms that you will recommend. Thanks.
1. To install a Custom ROM phone's Android must NOT be rooted.
2. As soon as phone's Android got rooted or a Custom ROM got flashed you may run into troubles when using banking / payment apps.
3. IDK
What is IDK?

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.
Hey guys I use a nexus 5x and many people told me that my phone is extremely suited for custom ROMS and it will improve my experience.
1) So I was wondering as to how to flash a custom rom.
2) And my most important question is do I need to root my device to flash a custom ROM and custom recovery or is unlocking bootloader enough.
3) Also if I unlock the bootloader but don't root the device what more can I do with my device.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

1.For flashing a custom rom bootloader must be unlocked and custom recovery is also required
2.this thing depends on you... You can even use a custom rom without root access.many roms doesn't give root access by default..but
3.root access depends upon rom... Many roms comes pre rooted and many doesn't...root access is not permanent...

Thanks buddy. Could you do me another favour and recommend a few non root ROMs which improves battery or gives high amount of customization options
Its my personal opinion you dont need to avoid root access... I am not a nexus 5x user so i cnat suggest a specifc rom..i used custom roms in op2 and op3t so according to that experience i will suggest you lineage, ressuruction remix, mokee, paranoid, dirty unicorn... Moke is battery efficient rom...

I am trying to avoid root because the last time I rooted my Galaxy s3 things were bad after a month. I started to get these apps on the device automatically that were vulgar and also had to deal with a few other problems. Even after I formatted the device , things did not change.
Hi all!
I'm running the mentioned ROM at the moment and I'm having several problems (GPay not working, Netflix not working, ...) so I want to go back to a standard MIUI version.
Can I flash the official global ROM via TWRP on my device? Or won't that work or brick my device?
Otherweise can I flash any custom ROM like Pixel Experience or Lineage without any problems over the actual ROM?
Hi. yes you can install the miui rom via twrp. we must take the version in .Zip and not that of fastboot. then if you want to use gpay, you must reblock the bootloader. me, I would prefer to use miflash to install the original rom and it also allows to reblock the bootloader by checking the box.
With relocked Bootloader, I cannot install any other Rom like Pixel experience or Lineage, correct?
I GPay only working with Stock Rom?

yes, if you reblock the bootloader, you could no longer install custom rom. it will unlock the bootloader again. but if you want to use gpay on a custom rom, you have to install magisk.
Hi there. I installed Bliss ROM in my Mi Note 10 earlier this week, and it's doing great, except that I can't run a handful of important apps, because they can tell my phone is rooted. Now, I tried many ways to get rid of this issue (used the MagiskHide, tried to uninstall root within Magisk App..., flashed an uninstall zip via TWRP...). Nothing works. I'd really like to keep using the custom ROM, because Xiaomi's stock ROM sucks, so what can I do? Is there any possibility of unrooting the phone without flashing back the stock ROM?
Maybe help to reset the apps and or flash the boot.img from bliss
You use the uninstall option from the magisk app?
I have a European 7pro running stock A10.
I would like to flash a A12 Rom.
What is the most stable Rom at the moment.
I assume the following
Bootloader needs to be unlocked.
I need twrp for back up
Do I need magisk to install?
ROMS come with gapps.
When I tried to flash a custom rom about a year ago I got it to work but no matter which rom I used it would not recognise the sim card and v therefore I couldn't use it as a phone and use mobile data. Please advise which one and a guide. I just want the basic A12 features I don't need anything fancy. Just bored of stock A10 and would like some additional functionality of A12.
Thanks Bart
