Hi all.
I'm a new user from Spain with a new Mi4!!!! Forgive me if this thread isn't in the right forum. I put the same post in the Mi4 forum, but no one answered me...
I would like to try this weekly rom 5.9.1/2, and I have some questions in order to install the rom beacuse I think the rom installation guide is not up to date.
Currently I have installed a V7 rom 4.4 from another webpage and CWM r8.
Here are my questions:
1.- Do I need to use a fastboot rom before install your rom 5.9.1/2? I ask this because I don't know if it's a good idea to totally reset my phone in order to avoid issues caused by my current rom. If yes, which fastboot room I need to download an install: Global or Chinese, stable or developer?
2.- If I have to install the fastboot rom, can I install your rom 5.9.1/2 by Mirecovery or do you recommend another recovery? Wich wipes should I do?
3.- If I don't have to install the fastboot rom, can I install your rom 5.9.1/2 by CWM r8 (my current recovery) or do I need to use another recovery? Which wipes I have to do?
4.- Other things that you can tell me to do a right installation would be appreciated.
I hope you can help me to install the rom and enjoy my new-amazing-incredible-handsome.... Mi4!!!!!!!
Thanks all!!!!!

Bueno, como eres español, te respondo en español.
Lo unico que tienes que hacer es entrar en el cwm, ir a wipe, hace un wipe data, y wipe cache, luego vuelves atras, te vas a advance y haces un wipe dalvik cache.
Luego instalas el zip desde el mismo cwm sin reiniciar ni nada, y asi tienes una instalación limpia.

Thank you djsote!!!
I prefer to write in english to help others users with similar issue or doubt.
Thanks a lot!!!
Thanks ingbrzy!!!
But, I don't need to do some wipes or similar???? That's why I ask about installing a fastboot rom and install your rom by CWM.
I thought if I don't do some wipe, I can carry bugs or similars from my current rom.
Thank you again!!!

Ok.
So if I want to do a clean flash, I can do all wipes by CWM (I don't have Mirecovery) and then install the rom by updater app.
Right????
Thank you again for your support!!!

I think you need MiRecovery for install. Rooted phone you can install it with Flashify app.

Thank you Pertti.
That's an important thing. Please, can anyone confirm that you need MiRecovery to install this rom by the updater app???
Or it doesn't matter???
Thank you all!!!

When I try to update from recovery after a while there's message: no file_contexts and the install have no more progress
Any tips?

Technical question:
I'm using Redmi 1S, and trying to understand how this works.
I've found in the ZIP file of the ROM a directory called recovery, with two files inside. As far as I understood, both are copied into phone, and I guess both would install Mi Recovery when system booted.
I saw also that /system/recovery-from-boot.p is renamed to /system/recovery-from-boot.bak, and I guess this is why Mi Recovery is not reinstalled.
If I'm not wrong, this is like that.
Again, if I'm not wrong, the renaming process of the file should be produced at the very beginning on the first system reboot after flasing ROM.
Is this appreciation correct?
Thanks for your help.

as Ingbrzy said.. just put this rom in the phone not inside any folder, then open Updater open three dots up on the right and choose update package. after this you'' have Mirecovery instead cwm
Yes, I had the same problem two days ago. Gmail downloaded about 150 MB in a few hours and this morning Google keyboard downloaded 50 MB!!! .
I suppose it's a miui's bug, isn't it?
My mobile is a Redmi Note 3G

Thank you.
I don't care about having or not MiRecovery.
I just wanted to know if it was needed MiRecovery to flash this rom via updater app. Doubt solved!!!
I'll do the wipes via CWM and then I'll flash this rom via updater app.
Thanks again!!!
I installed this on my redmi 1 via updater , but had twrp as my recovery. Once installed I found my recovery had changed to mirecovery.

Place the rom on your SD card & then go to the updater & update the rom from there. That way no need to use a recovery.Hongmi 1 wcdma.
