Linux: https://github.com/linuxxxxx/XiaomiTool/blob/releases/linux/linux.zip?raw=true
Unix: https://github.com/linuxxxxx/XiaomiTool/blob/releases/unix/unix.zip?raw=true

Installation

Windows

1. Download the Zip file
2. Extract the folder
3. Make sure ADB and Fastboot are working well on your device and they're both on a %PATH% (C:WindowsSystem32 for example) folder
4. Run XiaomiTool.exe and enjoy

Linux

1. Download the zip file
2. Extract everything in a folder
3. chmod +x XiaomiTool or run sh XiaomiTool (The one on the main dir)
4. Insert your password when asked (see here why it's needed)

Unix

1. Download the zip file
2. Extract the folder
3. chmod +x Start.sh
4. Execute Start ( ./Start.sh )
5. >> If something goes wrong make sure you can execute adb and fastboot without root access, if not run sudo ./Start

Which one should I choose?
> Windows : it works on all windows-powered Pcs and on Wine, it only needs adb and fastboot
> Linux : if you're running a debian-based distro
> Unix : (mac) os X, *bsd and it may also be good on other linux distros where the linux one does not work (well)

Looks very nice bro...
What advantage does it have over the CWM recovery installer ?
Can we have a detailed porting guide for Mi2/2S with other beautiful Third Party ROMs available out there ? ( Like LeWa OS5 ? )
Waiting for the reply from experts !!!

Read the topic about the cwm

I'm adding the camera photo and music sync too!

For now I build it working on Paranoid and Cyanogenmod
I'll add the option to flash a ROM downloaded from internet

Sorry I didn't understand well
This use the adb and fastboot interface, so it's easier, you don't need to reboot recovery, apply to both system ecc.
With this with 3 clicks it will install the clockworkmod recovery

Can we ask any developer here to build a ROM Kitchen so that users with decent knowledge of playing around tweaking different ROMs can customise which base & which components they want in their Phone ?
It is a request... if possible for the sake of all of us, help us.
I am quite bored of seeing MIUI only for my Mi2S 32GB... while the rest of phones enjoy multiple custom ROMs.... that too they have different variety !!!
I envy them .... Even MIUI is getting ported to Jiayu G3.... why can't we ( Mi2/2S users) have choices ???

With This Tool you will able to install your favourite rom With 3 clicks on pc and 4 on Phone (count)

For the Beta 2 I'll include a option that allow to install any mod on your rom
You need only to place your file in a folder, rename it rom.zip and the tool will flash this.
A rom Kitchen Is impossible, because each rom have a different build method and need some changes by dev.

Dude this looks awesome. Can't wait for an adb solution for Linux users.

Hi linuxx, is it supposed to stay on < waiting on device > for a long time? I can't tell if it's doing anything or if it can't find my device!

I have ADB but I'm on mac and I have no idea where to get a driver to actually recognize the phone. Do you know? I saw that you were on Ubuntu...

Edit: nevermind, Ubuntu in a VM actually worked... on the mac... I'm not going to question it.

If you use a shell to start adb on Mac, does it find your device?

No, but I actually don't think a proper driver exists. I've done some searching and it seems like only Linux and Windows work. Xiaomi has you use a silly Android Transfer program and that's the only thing that can see the phone.

Try adding your vendor id to your adb_USB.ini file and reboot.
