[Dan daman]

Hi I just finished install Global MiUI ROM into my new MiPad 4. The whole process took me full day searching answers on Google. The forum ROM download site with few sentences instruction doesn't help much at all. So I write down some steps and hopefully newbies can enjoy MiPad in no time. If any of my tips are wrong, please do share it with me. Many thanks.

Thanks mate, i bought for christmas a mipad 4 for my girlfriend. It come with boot loader unlock and what seems to be the 10.0 firmware from here (xiaomi.eu).
But just to be sure i decided to start with a clean state and to install a more up to date rom.
Your tutorial saved me a lot of time! In less than an hour the mi pad 4 is now running perfectly with miui 10.3.2.
So cheers and merry Christmas to you and to the xiaomi.eu team.
