Hi!
I've updated to this weekly version but I'm having problems with the APN configuration. I receive the message of the screenshot below and it's being impossible to create a new APN, so, I have no data connection.
Is anyone having the same problem? Any idea?
Thx :)

I have solved it doing the first two wipes through mi recovery, shutting down and initializing. After that, android needed to be configured from its startup. Now, fortunately, it works fine and solves some other problems as google play had anomalous behaviour or missed apps, but it exists a positioning lack.
I hope this comment helps anyone else with this problem

I am goint to update from miui v5 4.12.5 to the latest v6 5.4.10 (lollipop).

the instructions say:
For first installation of Mi2S v6 Android 5.0
- You have to be on latest 4.12.5 MIUIv5 or 5.3.27 MIUIv6 Special Edition
- Then install our multilang via Updater app like usually
- Wipe all user data in recovery or via settings highly recommended!

Now, i am not sure if i have to wipe user data before or after updating...

p.s. how can i restore my data once i have installed the 5.4.10 rom? Will it work if i create a backup using the miui v5 backup tool? can i import it in miui v6?
thanks

Hi
if you want to install some completely different roms like miui and later cm11 for example you have to wipe data before you flash the new rom
Cache and dalvik cache can be wiped whenever you want
I do iit al the time when I flash something new

I just want to update from miui v5 4.12.5 to miui v6 5.4.10

My question is how to update and not lose my data (user data, apps, ecc...). Do I need to wipe user data before the update (still in miui v5), or after? Miui backup tool will work from miui5 to miui6 lollipop?


thanks

you can use the app easy backup & restore to save your user data
I am not shure if miui backup tool will work on lollipop
Wipe data before you upgrade from 4.4.4 to lollipop it's a new rom base

Everybody who want a app, settings, calls....use titanium backup (free) works perfect con lollipop it wont win a design award but its so effective

thank you very much!
I will try it as soon as i have some time.

p.s. as far as you know, is the v6 lollipop as stable and usable as the old v5? or it still has some majior bugs and issues?

It has a bit choppy scrolling and I had some troubles getting root to work but it is OK.
