Hi zubairra

- "Root is not available in MIUI-Stable" -> click on "download MIUI" or go to

http://files.miuiandroid.com/3.1.25/miuiandroid_aries_jb-3.1.25.zip

or

http://www.miui.com/getrom.php?r=2


- click the green button
- start Updater-App
- select installation pack
- navigate to the file ( " miui_MI2_3.1.25...." )
- flash rom
- reboot
- enable ROOT in Permissions-App
- start ES-App
- settings -> root settings
- enable everything

Settings - Sound - disable "vibrate on touch", "Touch sounds", "screen lock sound" , "Dial pad touch tones" + silent mode

Great Thanks ehrles......I have another querie
1.when i mount a USB most of the times it says "Not in supportable format"tried both Fat and NTFS
But when i enable root permission and mount USB it mount but i dont know how to access the files in USB..
it doesnt show up onmy ES explorer or default file explorer.

2. im unable to register to Xiaomi account it says "Network error"..
Please advice

 

[Negen]

get a app called stick mount to get ntfs otg support then you will be able to set the mount folder name and find it with root explorer or any other file browser all though root explorer is the best

Using the ROM from MIUIANDROID is better for non Chinese speaking people

OK would u give the link of ROM and steps to follow?
I'm not expert in this if you would help me in installing a English ROM.

Down load to sd card and reboot holding up volume and select English then wipe cache and wipe all then flash ROM to system 1
