    Need step by step how to install Multi Language ROM with Google support

    Hi Motan, Glad you got a good phone:) I am afraid I can't help you with the IMEI question. Seems like I need a proper phone and two SIM's to be able to comment on that ;) Greetz, Sjonnie

    Hi pjovp, Thanks for your continued support. I have made screenshots of MobileUncle and one thing I noticed is that it display the correct build number of the phone. The order could be wrong (ImageShack is rather pecular about that) but all info should be here: Hope the...

    Need step by step how to install Multi Language ROM with Google support

    Hi pjovp, Well that is rather disturbing. Before you go could you please help me with SP Flash Tool? I installed it on my virtual PC. Got the ROM (miuiandroid_multi_HM2013023_WCDMA_JHBCNAL5.0_jb-4.2) copied and extracted the scatter.txt. When loading the scatter file the tool says: Using SP...

    Need step by step how to install Multi Language ROM with Google support

    Hi pjovp, I have no idea :s Little question: can I run SP Flash Tool on a virtualised version of Windows? I have Windows 8 in Virtualbox on a Linux host. Would be great if I could use that without risk. Greetz, Sjonnie

    Need step by step how to install Multi Language ROM with Google support

    Hi honu, Tx for your reply. The problem is that I can install all I want (TWRP, CWM) but when I reboot I don't get to the recovery. Seems like installing recovery fails or does not work. What other ways (other than the ones I have already tried) are there to install the recovery? Greetz...

    Need step by step how to install Multi Language ROM with Google support

    Nope! :( The phone browses Baidu Market (or something). If it does not find it there it suggests to browse other markets. I suspect it then browses for Android/Google Play. I hope you can help me install the MIUI rom so I can use Google play. :) Looking forward to your reply! Greetz, Sjonnie

    Hi pjovp, thanks for your reply! No! It is not "as simple as that" and that is my problem right there: you say it is as simple as that and it does not work so I must be missing out on something that is so obvious to you guys that you don't mention it. I appreciate your help but it frustrates...

    OK, I have been trying to get my Hongmi "upgraded" to Miui Android Stable ROM as per the first post in this thread. I have successfully rooted the device and installed MobileUncle.
