It's very strange, because that error means that .zip file isn't signed. Another question - why do you want to install ICS6.0?
The last stable release for MiOneS is ICS20.0? ICS6.0 is pretty old?

 

[Dm22]

you're already running ics18.. why do you want to downgrade to ics6?

if you still want to flash ics6... try going into recovery mode first... then Wipe all data... and flash update.zip to partition one

however... your question had nothing to do with the title of this thread.. i believe all weekly releases are rooted..all stable releases ics17 and below are rooted as well...


if you want to root ics18 and above, you can follow the guide i posted for ics20.. it should all work the same way

As I know the stable versions haven't root since September, so you need to install a version for developers.

1. If you install dev version 2.11.16 is Ok - you'll get root, because it's disabled in stable branch.
2. It seems your zip file is broken (incomplete download may be). It's MD5 must be:

09e59dea82c80b0e451c2ed860255720 *miui_Mioneplus_2.11.16_09e59dea82_4.0.zip

you can see the first 10 chars in the filename.

3. miui.com has awful downloading speed - about 20 kb/sec. Take the local version

downloaded http://files.miuiandroid.com/2.11.16/update.zip & try... still installation failed. How can i check the MD5?
THX!

 

[cat_baxter]

Take this utility and check the MD5: http://www.winmd5.com/download/winmd5free.zip

Very strange - are you sure that you have the original MiOneS? Does the Antutu show the score ~7200 (need to test few times)?

 

[rex]

tested results below.... what should be normal rate? mobile problem? i brought about 1 week from Taobao.com! how to tell is not a real Mi-1S?
1. 6773
2. 6834
3. 6892
4. 6859

CPU.3047
RAM.1457
GPU.1557
IO.831

 

[cat_baxter]

A bit strange CPU results - may be M1S Young version?

My Antutu 2.9.4 Total: 7208, CPU: 3521, GPU: 1599, RAM: 1512, IO:576

Anyway, I can't explain what's wrong with the signature, because M1S Young has the same firmware

System info of my M1S

maybe something wrong with your recovery,
try flashing that Lennox recovery onto your system... it works better than original recovery mode.
