Firstly I have searched this site but can't see obvious answers to these questions so sorry if they are here.
I am about to get my new M2 from iBuygou so have so initial novice things to ask.
What is the difference (if any) between a JLB rom (which I assume is still MIUI) and the miuiandroid rom on here?
I will be looking to put one of these roms on the phone as soon as possible so intend to follow this guide
http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/a-simple-update-guide-for-xiaomi-m2.18942/
I can't quite get a dumbed down explanation about the dual boot stuff - people mention flashing one and leaving the other as stock in case it goes wrong - when I get the phone out of the box new it will have 2 identical partitions yes? which one is best to update or is there really no difference?
I apologise for these probably obvious questions but I come from using XDA for years and CWM on my HTC/Samsung so even getting recovery mode will require searching!
I expect my new phone to attract a bit of attention so if people are to come on board and get one too these initial steps and ease of doing them could be the stumbling block if it's too hard to phathom - and no one wants a brick within minutes of opening the box (which I've done a few times over the years... difference is sending this phone to be fixed might be trickier than a phone with proper UK presence)
I don't suppose anyone with 5 min to spare could write a short snappy guide to the steps they took from box open to miuiandroid could they? (pretty please)
Thanks in advance.
edit:
so maybe i should just try this!?!
