Good morning
Am willing to gift my old MI2 to my father..

And i want to downgrade phone from miui v6 to last stable version of miui v5

Also i want to full format the phone

How can i do that?
 
If you haven't merged partitions you can return to the latest stable build (v5) and formatting all (also format /sdcard) with mipcsuite
 
Download MiPcSuite and install it: http://pcsuite.mi.com/

Reboot your phone in fastboot mode and connect it to the pc

In MiPCSuite do Update and select the Stable Version (V5). Now wait and the program will erase all and install latest v5 rom
 
Ok which v5 rom do you believe it's the most stable..

I need long battery usage and no fc
 
ok and one very last question !!

after that how can i format all phone (storage, apps, contacts etc) ???

the format has to be before the rom change or after ???
 
Its better format your phone before you flash the rom for a clean install.
If you are not in touch with all flashing rom method i sugest you to search about that.
I think with wiui you need to change your stock recovery and flash cwm recovery. THen in cwm you can format and reset all your phone easly and from scratch.
 
Ok so i figure out 2 problems..

1. I cant go into fastboot mode through power button + volume -
Its there any other way??

2. Can somebody give me a link with the last v5 stable for mi2??
 
Chinese rom has also english language, and google play can be installed via mi app shop. I'm using it right now
 
Ok and which steps i have to follow in order to downgrade from v6 to wiui v5 final ??
 
What ever i tried it says
Package error or bad gateway or upgrade package can't install

What to do..
Please its very urgent

Are you using MiRecovery? If yes, it's normal. You have to unlock the bootloader (fastboot oem unlock) and flash a custom recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
 
Yes i used mirecovery
Can you please give detailed step by step how to do that you say please?
