[solved] Eu Rom Not Recognized By Twrp Recovery...

[boine]

Hi fellow Mi5s tweakers! I have a strange problem.

Just recieved my Mi5S / 4 /128.
It came with a tweaked "internationalized chinese" ROM- 8.0.10.0.0 MAGCNDH.
I unlocked, and succesfully updated into the new official chinese 8.0.18.0 MAGCNDI.

I Am now trying to load the EU Stable rom for Mi5s from here, but when installing the zip file I get an error stating "This file is for Capricorn(Mi5s). You are using Gemini (Mi5)".

Im quite sure I have an original Mi5s. I guess my TWRP was originally made for the Mi5...
Cant figure out a work-around....

Help highly appreciated! Thanks

The model should be reported in Settings->About phone?
If you are unsure, try comparing the rear side of your device with images from internet.
Try using apps that identify the SOC (820->Mi5, 821Mi5S), cpu-z, maybe also antutu.

Once you are sure you have a Mi5S, you can try flasing twrp for capricorn from here:

Problem solved!
It was my mistake using TWRP made for the Mi5 that screwed things up....
THANK YOU!!!
