Can I update from miui v6 kk (xiaomi.eu_multi_aries_5.3.20) to the last lollipop using Updater?
Must I have the cwm recovery to wipe if needed? or can I use the mi recovery?
Thank you in advance
 
In CWM with lollipop wipes don't work. I used TWRP (but it hasn't TDB)

This is what I did.

Flash lollipop over kk
Flash gapps, do a wipe cache and dalwik cache and flash over them
this play service.

No data lost, but some apps need lollipop version.
 
Thank you
Did u flash both systems with TWRP?
I though I could use Updater and that gapps were included....
 
No, switch to system 1 (system0 partition) and flash TWRP.
TWRP doesn't have TDB support, so you can modify only system 1 (system0 partition)

I learned I don't need TDB, I use one system at time
 
It depends. If you want smiui you need CWM or TWRP. If you want Xiaomi.eu release you can flash it by updater. But for gapps and fixed play services I don't know... You can try do to it with mirecovery. If it doesn't accept those zips, you need CWM/TWRP. If it accept I don't know if wipe cache and dalvik works.
 
I just need Xiaomi.eu release.... maybe in the next release when those problems will be fixed i could get gapps and working.
Thank u SkiFire13 ;)
 
I tried to install a custom recovery with success, but every time I reboot the device it come back to the stock one (mirecovery).
Maybe I do something wrong.....help please
 
I ear that is a Miui v6 bootloader problem. I don't know how you can solve it.

Maybe you can try to flash with adb. Extract .img file from .zip file.
Use those commands in adb:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
