    Mi5 Bootloop, Global Stable From Miui.com - Locked Bootloader

    If you applied for unlock permission, and you can enter fastboot, you should be able to unlock your bootloader soon. If you do so, your way is paved for flashing whatever ROM you want :-)

    Good New's Kernel Sources Have Been Released !

    Super cool! Great news :-) Does anyone know a dev who'd like to leverage this for an official TWRP version for the 3S? I mean, I use cofface's version and it works well, but I'd very much like to have an official version :-)

    Stable Or Dev

    I have a theory about what's up with 8.1.7.0, see here.

    Stable Rom 8.1.7.0

    He he... You were more intrepid than me :-) Please share your experiences with Nougat. I'm interested in several things, but especially: - Has anyone upgraded without doing a factory reset (ie., just like a regular OTA)? How was your experience? - Can you see any particular benefits of Nougat...

    Stable Rom 8.1.7.0

    On en.miui.com forums, a few people reported having received the OTA to 8.1.7.0, but after a couple threads were posted about it, there wasn't any further mention of that version on the MIUI forums. Officially, it hasn't been released, not even as a public beta (they usually make an official...

    Update To 8.1.7.0 From 8.1.6.0 Info

    Thanks for the feedback! What's your take on MIUI implementation of Nougat so far? App installs and app optimization after an OS upgrade should be some of the things that benefit from Nougat (should be much faster). Did you notice some of that?

    Does Anybody Use V8.1.7.0 For Mi5 Yet?

    @androidz and @Spirit , did you do a factory reset when flashing, or upgraded over your previous stable installation? From which stable version did you upgrade?

    Does Anybody Use V8.1.7.0 For Mi5 Yet?

    It looks exciting to move to Nougat, but what has me a little bit worried is that there hasn't been any news about this update on en.miui.com. The admins usually publish a little note, even for beta releases of China Stable; as of this writing, there's only a few users reporting that they...

    New V8.1.7.0 Can Intall This Doing Full Wipes Incluide Wipe System?

    What!? 8.1.7.0 is already available as a xiaomi.eu release in ROM Download area!! Personally, I'd like if a mod/admin could shed some light about this update, requirements to install it, etc.

    China V8.1.6.0 Stable Out

    Weird... on MIUI forum, several people comment about receiving this update, but there isn't any official info on it on the same forum... Anyway, it looks like a beta release, few people are receiving it and there's no official changelog published yet. Furthermore, last official stable (8.1.6.0)...

    Installing Twrp

    With an unlocked bootloader, just download the latest TWRP image and flash it via fastboot.

    China V8.1.6.0 Stable Out

    OK, so after a full day of use, here's what I found with 8.1.6.0: - Battery life is as good as in 8.1.3.0 (which, in my case, is rather good - I consistently get close to 5 hours SOT, normal screen brightness, and no special measures to preserve battery; right now I have 4h 5m SOT, with 18%...

    Installing Twrp

    You're welcome. Of course, you'll also need an unlocked bootloader to proceed.

    Installing Twrp

    Hi, you need to have a working ADB/Fastboot environment and drivers to be able to flash TWRP. There are several ways to achieve this, for example, I have the Android SDK installed so I have all the needed tools; however, there are other, more minimalist ways to get the needed tools. Search for...

    Last Stable

    I don't know if you can do such a large jump between versions by doing a dirty flash... Perhaps someone else can confirm?

    Last Stable

    Huh? Last stable for Mi 5 is 8.1.6.0, released just today and fresh off the oven: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298919516

    China V8.1.6.0 Stable Out

    Just installed xiaomi.eu 8.1.6.0. Still Marshmallow, of course (as can be inferred by the build code, MAACNDI), and it has the december Android security patches. Will report experience after a day of use.

    Stable Or Dev

    I've been using stable releases, and I'm quite happy with them (I haven't used dev releases, so can't really compare, though). Currently using 8.1.3.0 Stable, good performance and battery life. Contrary to what other people have experienced, my GPS performance (accuracy and lock-on time)...

    6.12.22 On Mi5

    Ah, I understand... It's because of the new Android base (Android Nougat)! My apologies, I use only stable .eu, so I haven't any experience with the dev Nougat ROMs :-) Best regards,
