Mini FAQ * Useful information

What is ADB
ADB (Android Debug Bridge - Android Debug Bridge) is a tool that is installed with the Android-SDK and allows you to control a device based on the Android OS.

It works on all Android devices where this functionality was not intentionally blocked by the manufacturer.
Hereinafter: PC - PC, computer to which the device is connected.
ADB is a console application for PC, which is used to debug Android devices, including emulators.
Works on the principle of client-server. The first time you start ADB with any command, a server is created as a system service (daemon) that will listen on all commands sent to port 5037.

ADB allows you to:
  • See which devices are connected and can work with ADB.
  • View logs.
  • Copy files from / to the device.
  • Install / Remove applications.
  • Delete (clear) the data section.
  • Flash (rewrite) the data section.
  • Perform various management scripts.
  • Manage some network settings.


ADB and all that can be done with it


Formation rules for firmware release number

Firmware fromXiaomi divided into 4 types: Stable , Global stable , Weekly (Developer) and Daily .
� Stable (Stable) - it is released ~ 1 time in 2 months, includes all updates and optimizations at the time of release, languages ​​are English / whale, not ruled (if necessary, root-access is opened manually).
Version numbers are formed from a block of 4 digits (numbers), where:
The 1st digit is the UI revision number (English User Interfase - user interface) MIUI>>>7 (MIUI 7);
The remaining 3 blocks according to an algorithm known only to developers.
пїЅ Global stable (Stable, international) - produced in parallel with Stable, contains all the same + language packs, including Russian and Ukrainian.
пїЅ Weekly (Weekly, developer) - read about the release date below.
пїЅ Daily (Daily) - about the release date read below, available only (!!!) to developers and beta testers, how to join the group of beta testers read on the official English website, usually set in beta testers by creating a topic in the group Beta Team

NumbersWeekly and Daily Versions are formed from a block of 3 digits (numbers) based on the release date of the release.
for example6.6.30 where:
The 1st digit is the last digit of the current year. 2016>>>6 ;
The 2nd digit is the month (1–12). June>>>6 ;
3rd digit is the day of the month when the firmware is released (will be released)>>>30 .

The firmware, with rare exceptions (the new year according to the eastern calendar, national holidays in China, etc.), is issued / updated every Friday (Daily daily from Tuesday to Friday), so each of you can easily count what number to wear. next release.
2016

Based on the above, if you are not a geek, then it is enough to stay at Stable, if your hands are itching and you always want to get the freshest, then Weekly is your choice! ;)

Why do not the update for local firmware come
Getting Root with TWRP
For security, be sure to backup the / system and / data partitions before this operation.

If a root is not installed on your system, TWRP Recovery determines this automatically and suggests installing SuperSU when you exit it. You can choose the installation option and thus get root rights in the system.

It is worth Xiaomi.eu 7.5.7, is it possible to roll 8.0.3 from the same team without wipes

This fortune telling on the coffee grounds. You can roll up, it will work, but where and when the bug will come out (or will not come out) is not known.
At the same time, when faced with a problem, you will always think "maybe this is because the wipes did not do it?" Think about it, and you need it :)
When switching to firmware from another branch and changing the version of the shell, wipes are recommended. When updating in the same thread - no. But what has been said above is valid.
ZY caches for any clean.

Notifications do not come from applications
Delete the folders of these applications and the applications themselves, too (reboot), then re-install. And of course in autostart and work in the background without restrictions.

And you can seehereandhere

How to switch from developer to multiromeg
As already written, you can do with dalwick or without it at all.

But the fact that after some time you will run into a glitch / tail / bug is practically impossible to avoid.
So it is better when switching between localizers, and even between a stable / developer, after all, the cache / dalwick and the date should be cleaned.

If I go to global for developer, I will not get bootlup

Do not confuse the concepts: Global is stable and there is developer.
Kitayka is also stable and developer.
Through three points, you can sew China to China or Global to Global (independently stub or developer) - the main thing is that the firmware should be newer.

How to flash through three points

Download the firmware you need in the body of a smart or throw it from a PC.
In the update menu, click three dots (top right). Select the specified folder (in which your downloaded firmware is located) in it is a zip file. (the name of your firmware) we do it and that's it. The body will install the firmware itself.
Important: You do not need to unpack the firmware and sew only global to global, China to China. Otherwise, get a bootlap.

Why is the SuperSU prog granting rights to not all programs?

1. Crookedly installed SuperSU (the presence of a utility does not mean the presence of binaries)
2. Applications are not aware of the existence of newer versions of SuperSU.
3. Perhaps the application is not worth it in the auto start, or when clearing the RAM is unloaded

Or, during the initial setup / launch, choose not Russia in the region, but Korea, they have the same time zone as Yakutsk
There is always the problem of meeting time when rebooting, it is treated by selecting a country with the same time zone, in this case Korea.
You can also try changing the region (Root rights are required)

Interlocutors do not hear me well

Flash / change the version of the modem, do not waste time on everything else.
Each new firmware does not always bring good innovations.
In particular, the modem, speaker, microphone are very often affected.
Not at every firmware, the interlocutor hears you well.
Or badly catches the net. And all this, directly or indirectly, leads to increased energy consumption.
Therefore, it is recommended to put a "modem patch" for your phone (if there is one).
Well, or change (for you not successful) firmware.
Important: Do not forget to backup to TWRP before installing. If something goes wrong, you can roll back / recover.

How to upgrade from 8.1.2.0
For firmware from a stable globalka 8.1.2.0 to a global developer (for example, 7.1.19), we need the latestmodified TWRP.
And it's easier with 8.1.2.0 through the standard update (three dots) update to the latest developer6.11.10 , and only then on 7.1.19 (or higher) and all.
How to switch from 6 to 7,look here.

How to see the component manufacturer
TWRP sees only reading mode.
Backup is not done, the system does not start, the PC does not see (does not detect) the phone, there is no way to drop the firmware.

We do the formatting of the sectiondata, then everything will drop and everything will see the PC. All data on the smart will be deleted.
If you have a globalka - putmodified TWRP.

TWRP requires a password
Click OK, TWRP will be loaded, where you need to format the partition in yes,Reboot into recovery.

Transfer the body to TWRP, connect it to a PC and easily drop everything you need from the phone to the PC. Throw back, also.

Will the data be saved when flashing?
When switching from Stable to Developer (China) and vice versa, the data is not saved, since the transition is made through a reset to the factory ones.
When upgrading / upgrading from Stable to Stable, Global to Global, etc. The data will remain untouched.
When upgrading / upgrading / upgrading a version within the same localizer, it suffices to do only WIPE DALVIK and CACHE. All data / settings will remain untouched.
When switching from one localizer to another, Full WIPE is done. Data / settings are not saved. This also applies to copyright firmware.

1. Unpack them, they go in numerical order.
2. We start and wait, on the 3rd and 5th paragraph there will be a phone to put them for a long time, so we are not nervous and are waiting.
During the installation, it is possible that errors will pop up, do not pay attention to them. They are not critical.
After installation, it is advisable to enter security, and set permissions for applications. (I put a green check mark for everyone.)
Well, after, enjoy life and gaps.

Basic terms and concepts
Xiaomi tech - A Chinese company founded by Lei Jun in 2010. The symbol of Xiaomi is a hare with a hat with a red star and a red pioneer tie around his neck. The company's activity began with the development of Android firmware MIUI.
MIUI - a user interface for smartphones based on the Android operating system open source. MIUI firmware code itself is closed. It is being developed by Xiaomi Tech. Firmware is a highly modified user interface, which does not have the applications menu. Firmware combines the most successful solutions of Android and iOS. Custom firmware includes additional features not found in the standard Android OS, such as the switches in the notification pull-out panel, the new camera, gallery and player are also changed Dialer that displays the contacts when the user enters the number.
"Stable", "Developer" and "Daily beta versions for developers" - MIUI firmware - all in all it various branches firmware. The "stable" No ROOT-rights, and only proven, working (in Chinese opinion) functionality. Releases are rare as they gain new functionality. In "deleloperskih" have ROOT-law, all of the latest innovations is not proven. Release every "Orange Friday". The "daily beta" firmware (they can only get people from beta team) and have ROOT-law and all the new features and all that stuff is tested for error detection. Release - daily.
ROOT rights - This is the Administrator account, only under Android. An administrator can do anything, unlike a simple user - not an administrator. Root rights give full control over your system.
Backup - Saving all parameters and settings for the purpose of recovery in case of data loss.
Recovery - A system partition that contains tools for flashing, creating backups, restoring from backups, and more.
For Mi Note, there are two types of Recovery, this is a stock Mi-Recovery and a modified ClockWorkMod (CWM) Recovery.
ClockWorkMod - CWM - Modified Recovery menu with advanced features, such as: installing various fixes, resetting the battery log, creating a Nandroid backup, cleaning the Dalvik-cache, etc. It has broader functionality and convenience than stock Mi-Recovery.
TrueDualBoot - TDB - it is enough, the separation of the load of the two systems. M1cha, CWM developer for our devices. He thought up how to “physically” (actually virtually) separate the two systems and make them almost completely independent (the modem, etc., still remained common). The inclusion of TDB in CWM-Recovery brings some convenience, but reduces the stability and reliability of the smartphone's two-system drain.
Nandroid backup - A full backup of the system with the ability to raise the phone from any state in case of failure in work.
Dalvik cache - Intermediate fast access buffer that carries the information most likely to be requested (in this case created by the Dalvik virtual machine). Simply put, Dalvik Cache is the result of optimization of the most frequently launched programs by the Dalvik virtual machine.
Adb - A tool that installs with the Android-SDK and allows you to control an Android OS device.
REBOOT - Reboot.
Full Wipe - Full reset settings. All installed applications, multimedia data, cache + dalwick cache are deleted and all system settings are reset.
wipe data / factory reset- Reset to factory settings.
format / cache- Clear partition / cache
format / system- cleaning partition / system
format / data- clearing the section / data
format / sdcard- cleaning partition / sdcard
wipe dalvik cache- formatting dalvik cache
Bootloop - Cyclic boot, this is when the OS boot, in our case AndroidOS, does not boot to the end, the bootlogo (boot image) is shown endlessly.
Cyclic reboot of the device, which occurs during the boot phase due to the inability to boot completely. (in translation, boot is boot, loop - loop, loop, etc.)
Force Close (FC) - Critical error, forced closing (stopping, crashing) of the application by the system, in this case Android OS.
Busybox - is a set of console utilities for Linux systems. Essentially needed by programs that require root-rights for proper functioning.
Custom - modification, change (custom firmware, custom recovery).
Deodex - system files .apk with him are "the load" file with the same name and extension .odex. With their help, presumably, you can save as a place. Deodeksirovanie means that you convert this .odex in .dex (the same file that is stored inside the .apk) and puts it back into the .apk. This allows us to freely replace the system applications without having to worry about The Code, but the main reason was deodeksirovaniya do this operation with the file services.jar, so you can change the colors of all the text (for example, the color of the clock from white to black, etc.) and to deodeksnut services.jar, you must deodeksnut all system .apk-shki. Craftsmen .ODEX removed files from the firmware by writing the information they contain into the APK file, thereby reducing the size of the firmware, and most importantly - themselves now APK-files can be changed as you like, it is not a fatal effect on the operation of the system. This is called deodeksirovanie.
This is good - in the deodexed firmware, you can easily open the APK file with the archiver, change the resources in it (pictures, etc.) and return the changed file to a place in the firmware.
BB - "Big Brother" - An ordinary stationary computer or laptop.
Zip - ZIP format; It usually distributes custom firmware or patches, applications, etc.

Where is the backup made by the standard backup application?
Inner memory ->MIUI ->Backup ->Allbackup ->Folders with backup dates.

1. I will share my experience installing Gapps.
I downloaded the Google Installer from Miui.Pro, and from the native AppStore - crash, and does not give anything from Market. He made a reset to the factory, tried in different ways - not those Gaps.

Advice to beginners: do not torment the device, immediately put it on a clean systemGappsfrom* ruslan_3_ . Everything is established, the Market has started, contacts have been picked up. A couple of mistakes still jumped out, as he had warned. The rest of the services will be tested later.

2. Now, about launching Morelocale for the Russification of applications via ADB.

By connecting the phone to the PC in ADB mode, and checking the connection with the adb devices command, do not panic if the PC did not immediately see the phone. Wait a few minutes, and the necessary drivers can pull up automatically. I was so. If this did not happen in five minutes, and the phone was not defined in ADB, then manually install firewood through the device manager. Yes, and do not forget to firstly enable USB debugging, secondly to confirm the request on the phone screen.

Translation turnip was taken from redmi3note-pro. That is, the entire translation that came out goes like a global firmware.

Installation instructions for Morelocale2 for our device

In order to give rights to the application Morelocale2 we need:
1) The Morelocale2 application itself, which can be downloaded from the Play Store orfrom here
2) We need to enable the debug mode on the phone itself:
- To do this, go to Settings / About phone and 7-8 times tap on the item "Version MIUI"
- Then go to Settings / Advanced / For Developers and enable "USB debugging"
3) We also need to install drivers that are in the header as well as Miflash (it also contains a pack of necessary drivers)
4) And the last thing we need is to download the latest version of ADBAttached fileAdb.rar(651.41 KB)

- This archive needs to be unpacked to the root of the "C" drive and the path to it should look like this: "C: \ adb \" and already in this folder are the adb files themselves
Looks like this
Attached Image


And so if you did everything and prepared how you can proceed to the point that Morelocale2 would get “root-rights”
1) Connect the phone to the PC and transfer it to the "MTP File Transfer" mode
2) Check whether the drivers are installed correctly, for this:
-We go to the Control Panel / Device Manager and see the following
Attached Image

3) Go to Start / Run and enter "cmd.exe" and you will see this window
Attached Image

4) In it we write the following commands:cd c: \ adb
5) Then we check if the phone has connected to adb with the command:adb devicesand we can get an answer in the form
List of devices attached
******* device

-So the machine has converged normally to adb and you can proceed to the next item.
-If you get an answer after the following command
List of devices attached
******* unathorized

-You need to pay attention to the phone, there will be a request that you have to accept, to be sure, we recheck the connection again with the command written above
6) If everything is fine then we write the following command:adb shell
7) Next, find out where our Morelocal2 is located in the system:pm list packages morelocale
- Get the answer:packages: jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale
8) Now we give Morelocale2 permissions with the command:pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
-A total window should look something like this
Attached Image

-In response, you should receive the following:locale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
-If you make a mistake in the command, you will receive a message with the help of the command "pm"
9) After that, unplug the device from the PC, run Morelocal2 and select the localization you need.

Old version of the manual
In fact, all intelligible instruction is on this site -A source
However, there is 1 difference in step # 2: in this manual, the outdated version of ADB
More recent ADB
With this version of ADB, everything was fine with me (although it is also not one of the last)Attached fileadb.rar(477.05 KB)

latest version of adbAttached fileAdb.rar(651.41 KB)
however, I didn’t check it, but since it must be new all right

Reaching step 6 of the instructions instead
List of devices attached
******* device

You can see the following.
List of devices attached
******* unathorized

In order for the ADB to fully work, pay attention to your device, a request will appear on it, after you accept the request you can go further according to the instructions: thank_you:

Xiaomi Mi5 firmware with locked bootloader using MiFlash

Unlike devices with an unlocked bootloader, the firmware is in EDL mode, not fastboot.
In the new firmware, Xiaomi has closed access to EDL mode. Therefore, in order to act on these instructions, the phone must have the firmware version up to 7.2.13.0 installed (this is the official Anglo-Chinese firmware).
Do you have a different firmware version? Then we act on another instruction: we get permission to unlock the bootloader, and then -Xiaomi Mi5 firmware with unlocked bootloader using MiFlash. It is worth noting that there is another way to enter the EDL mode - using an engineering cable. How to make it, describedhere, here, here.


So, check the version? Then proceed.


1. First of all we prepare the computer.For successful firmware, a 64-bit system is recommended.
On Windows 8, Windows 10, be sure to turn off driver digital signature verification. Install Xiaomi USB Drivers, XiaoMiFlash from the header, and also download and unpack the ADB (for example,from here). Important: Only the latest versions of MiFlash work!
Download the necessary firmware for fastboot (not to be confused with the firmware for recovery!) From the siteen.miui.comeither from the topic header. Unzip. It should be noted that, depending on the choice of the archiving program, it may be necessary to double unpack the archives * .tgz and * .tar (for example, through 7-Zip it is required to unpack archives 2 times, and through WinRAR it is enough to unpack once).
Here is what should be contained inside the final folder with the firmware files:
Attached Image

Next, we place this folder with firmware files, preferably in the root of the C or D drive. It is important that the name and the path to the folder do not have Cyrillic. Here is the path to the unpacked folder with the firmware in my example: РЎ: \ gemini_global_images_V7.2.4.0.MAAMIDC_20160129.0000.14_6.0_global.
2. Now we are preparing the phone. We include the menu for developers. If the language is English, then so: Settings ->About Phone ->Tap 7 times on the "MIUI version". Now you are a developer. Next, turn on USB debugging: Settings ->Additional Settings ->Developer Options ->USB debugging and Enable USB Debugging.
3. Putting the device in EDL mode* . To do this, perform the following. The included phone is connected by cable to the PC. Open the folder with ADB. Hold Shift and at the same time right-click on a blank place in the folder, select "Open command window".
To test the connection, enter the command
adb devices

On the phone screen, you will be prompted to connect USB debugging to this computer - we agree. If the command window does not see such a result,
Attached Image

repeat the adb devices command. Device attached? We continue. Enter the command
adb reboot edl

The phone should turn off - go to EDL mode.
4. Getting to the firmware. Run as administrator MiFlash.exe (on Win 10 is on the path C: \ XiaoMi \ XiaoMiFlash \ XiaoMiFlash.exe, or on previous versions - C: \ Program Files \ Xiaomi \ MiPhone \ MiFlash.exe).
Click "Refresh".
New MiFlash

Old miflash

If we see that the device has been assigned a port (COM3, COM10), we proceed further.
The device manager should be like this:
Attached Image

If we see a yellow exclamation mark - we update the driver in the device properties - manually specify the folder with the loaded drivers.
5. Next in MiFlash, click "Select" (new MiFlash) or "Browse" (old MiFlash) and select the folder with the firmware files.
6. At the bottom of the window, click "clean all" (new MiFlash) or "Flash all" (old MiFlash) - this will allow you to flash completely, deleting all the old data.
7. Click "Flash". The firmware has begun, as evidenced by the green progress bar and the log of the files being flashed. The duration of the firmware is about 5 minutes. Upon successful completion - the status of "The operation is completed successfully".
If the firmware process is interrupted by any error, then:
a) an old version of MiFlash is installed (see item 1)
b) the archive with the firmware was not correctly unpacked / the destination folder with the firmware files was selected / the path to the folder with the firmware was selected incorrectly (see item 1)
c) drivers are installed incorrectly (see item 1)

Carefully recheck everything and successfully sew.
Everything. The phone itself does not overload, disconnect the cable and turn on by long pressing. After the initial setup, when you download the desktop for a very long time (minutes 5), the list of applications is loaded.

* In the case of a failed firmware, when the phone does not turn on, there is another way to get into EDL mode - via fastboot:
3.1. We transfer the device to fastboot mode. To do this, turn off the phone and simultaneously hold down the "Volume -" and "Power" buttons until a hare repairing the robot appears.
Attached Image

Connect the cable to the PC.
3.2. Check the fastboot connection. Open the folder with ADB-fastboot. Hold Shift and at the same time right-click on a blank place in the folder, select "Open command window".

fastboot devices

In the command window there should be such an answer (only your device number is)

3.3. Enter the command
fastboot oem edl

Next, go to paragraph 4.


For now. As new information and comments become available, I will supplement and correct the instructions. Please write to QMS if there is something to add.

How should the name of the firmware look like

MIUI Global 7.x.x.x (MAAMIDC)- This is the official global version, if you have it all looks like this
Official Global Stable Version: V8.1.2.0 (MAAMIDI) where (MI) indicates the presence of Russian. language.
MIUI Global 7.x.x.x (MAACNDB)- this is already a self-made assembly from hand-crafted Chinese or romodels
Basically you need to pay attention to the 2nd part in the name of the firmware:
1) What is written immediately after the first word (i.e. MIUI) - Global or China
2) What is the letter designation, that is, MAAMIDC or MAACNDB
The original description of the Chinese firmware version looks like this:

Install TWRP + SuperSU (as needed)

For starters, a small lyrical digression.
After all, the following procedures with the phone will delete all settings, programs, files, etc. Therefore, the transfer of the necessary files and folders on your computer. And you can zabekapit program settings, call history, SMS, and of setting the phone (less then gestures) go to settings - additional - Backup & restore - local backup. Make a backup. Find the folder in Windows Explorer miui and drag it to the computer (in her backup) After installing TWRP and firmware, casting miui folder on the phone and recovering from it.
So,
1. Unlock the bootloadernecessarily by this Unlocking bootloaders through the official website of the company (Post ilya0103 # 45910388) instructions. After receiving the permission, I tried to unlock (the firmware was 7.2.8.0 stable globalka) did not work, I asked for this instruction Mi5 - Official firmware 7 (OS 6.0) (Post yuandrey # 48709141) Chinese developer from the cap. Everything was unlocked the first time.
2. I think that all drivers and ADB should be installed on the computer, if not, then we take it from the header and set it.
The official twrp-3.0.2-0-gemini (twrp-3.0.2-1-while buggy) swingHEREsuitable for miui.7 and miui.8
It turned out that you need to install the version of TWRP depending on the manufacturer of the screenread here
SuperSU takeHERE
We turn on the phone "debugging via USB" (pointing to the "assembly number" 7 times, the menu "for developers" appears and the switch is on there)
4. The downloaded TWRP is placed in the folder with ADB, renaming it to “recovery.img”. The ADB folder should have this or something like this

Important:In case of an error / refusal to flash, we try to write not "recovery.img", but simply "recovery", if it does not work in this variant, then we write "recovery.img.img"
In order to see what permission you have, then we write the command "dir"
5. Now go to the folder with ADB and open the terminal by pressing and holding the shift key, and right-click anywhere in this folder, and in the menu "open command window"
6. Then we connect the phone to the computer and reboot the device into fastboot mode, while the phone is off, hold the "Power + Volume down" button simultaneously. The hare and the inscription fastboot will appear on the body screen.
7. We check the connection of the body with the computer, for this we enter the command in the terminalfastboot devicesand hit enter. The window should be like this

10. When loaded into TWRP, the body does not respond to pressing for the first 4-5 minutes wait, do not panic. Sometimes it does not react at all, it requires a reboot in the rescue and wait. This is a bug, someday it will be corrected, but for now,
Bug corrected. Hurray!
11. Choose language in trpv (Russian is)Screenshots of the recovery menu, for those who have hieroglyphs, you can seeHERE.If requested your password - click Cancel. Further, to "date" has been blocked and is not mounted in trvp, so if the body has a firmware files or anything that trvp they just do not see it. To check this, we go to trvp to mount and put a check on the data. If you put a check mark, go to the section restoration, we find the sdcard, open, if you see your folders and files (I have not seen), then format the data is not necessary. (See. The screens) The Simple Superforce throws on the body and is sewn through trvp. Generally, to unlock the data (as I understand) it is necessary to put the firmware on this schemeXiaomi Mi5 - Official firmware MIUI 7 (OS 6.0) (Post ruslan_3 # 48287267)but I did not succeed.

General instructions for newcomers to the firmware Xiaomi Mi5

based on instructions from another phone as a source of inspiration -A source

And so, people who received our beautiful machine and faced some difficulties, have many questions, in this manual I will try to summarize as much as possible all the instructions that currently exist in our topic in order to make it easier for "Beginners" to live with firmware or other actions with phone, and so it went:

I
Act

First of all, people who received the device may have some problems with the firmware that are from vendors (they are called "Chinese Samopal"), usually have a number of pronounced bugs, and localization curve (a hodgepodge of Russian + English and possibly Chinese) before asking questions like"What is this firmware?"or"Why doesn't it work for me?"I advise you to look at the instructionsHow should the name of the firmware look like, it quite simply expresses the idea of ​​how to distinguish a self-made firmware from a sold one from official firmware.

II
Act


Second most common question"Is my bootloader blocked and how to check"in 99% of cases (if not all are 100%), the device is delivered to users with a locked bootloader, but if you still want to check, follow the further steps:

For inexperienced users, before proceeding to these points, I advise you to read the guide on terminology which is in the header along the wayImportant information! / Mini FAQ + Useful Information / Basic Terms and Concepts - if you are already at the level of "is no longer a novice but not a" romodel "," proceed directly to the items themselves

1) How to know if the bootloader is locked? - This issue will help you thisinstruction
2) Depending on the response received, this item will be divided into 2 parts:

a) You got the answer Device unlocked:falsethen you go over to point 3
b) You got the answer Device unlocked:trueI congratulate you and you can safely move on to the next Act

3) You have received a negative response (that is, the bootloader is blocked from you) and you need to unlock it (if necessary) then for this you should move to the topic"Unlocking XIAOMI bootloaders"where in the header you will find all the information you need about what and how you need to do to unlock the bootloader, "why do we need an unlocked bootloader?" - You ask now we will briefly consider why it is needed and you yourself decide whether you need it or not, and so in brief:
Earlier, on the old firmware, the EDL mode worked through which it was possible to switch from any official firmware to the same official one, that is, a phone came with a Chinese stable firmware, you took it and calmly decided on the global one (all the firmware differences in the next act), but starting from the firmware versions 7.3.2.0 (of the Chinese stable) and 6.5.7.0 (of the Chinese developer),global firmware numbers above also fall under this, Mode EDL closed and jump off the Chinese Of the global has not come out, and it's not all in the first place if the firmware is updated \ set the curve you can get "Butlup" (cyclic reboot), and without an unlocked bootloader, you essentially have polukirpich yet 1 minus the locked bootloader inability to put root-rights (analogue administrator rights on your PC), set some "custom" too, can not, as a result of what we get on the phone with a locked bootloader - No freedom of action and opportunities restore the body after a critical error during update or in the transition from stable to nine EEPROM and vice versa.
Now it's up to you to decide whether to unlock the bootloader or not, after you make a decision, you can safely move on to Act III.


III
Act

This part of the instruction will contain all possible instructions for the firmware of our device and information on the firmware


And so, before proceeding with the manipulations with the firmware, let's first analyze what kind of firmware we have on our device and how they differ:
1) Official Chinese firmware- This is the firmware from the manufacturer itself, there are 3 language packs in this firmware, 2 Chinese and 1 English, the advantage of this firmware is that it has the most recent bundle of fixes for glitches and "chips" and also receives OTA updates (updates that arrive on air), but there are also disadvantages to the lack of applications from Google (they are also called gapps), which you can optionally put separately.
2) Official global firmware- this firmware is also from the manufacturer, however it differs from the previous firmware in that it has many other language packs (including Russian), as well as applications from Google are preinstalled in it, perhaps this is the advantage of this firmware and it also Receives OTA - updates.
3) Localized firmware- or how they can still be called "custom", differ in that they are based on the Chinese office. firmware however, at the same time have other language packs as well as of. global firmware and have built-in applications from Google, these language packs as well as gapps `s people called" Romodels "manually added to the office. Chinese firmware, however, in order to get a more recent firmware, you have to use your pens again to install them on your phone.
4)Firmware from the seller or Chinese samopal- this is probably the most crooked and buggy firmware, and they are usually advised to change to some of the above firmware, how to distinguish the firmware I described in Act I

Also, the first 3 firmwares are divided into another 2 subspecies of firmware: "Stable" and "Developer" - I will describe them briefly
1) "Stable" - firmware is updated less often but includes all useful updates of "Developer" firmware
2) "Developer" - these firmware are updated every week, however, since on these firmware they test everything and everything, they are less stable in operation

Perhaps after you have learned about the differences between the firmware and made the choice, you can proceed directly to the installation operation itself:


The first option is if your bootloader is locked.


Use firmware intended only for fastboot

Note: Recently, the Chinese firmware 7.3.2.0 stable and 6.5.7.0 developer came out - a distinctive feature of which is the closed access to the EDL mode, but fortunately the craftsmen found a way to return to the EDL mode, this is not a tricky thing you can turn on this oneinstructions

1)Instructionto install official firmware
2) If you decide to use of. Chinese firmware but you want third-party programs to be all the same in Russian, use this oneInstruction
3) You can also install applications from Google using this oneinstruction
4) There is an option to install localized firmware on this one.instructions
A warning:
The firmware should be taken only from the instruction itself, since when trying to flash another localized firmware, you can get a bootlap, the reason is that this firmware was specially modified for installation on a locked boot



The second option - if you have unlocked bootloader

1)Instructionto install official and custom firmware
2) If you have installed a custom and later want to update it to the latest version you will need (root is optional)TWRP + Root
3) Instructionto install firmware via TWRP.Note:via TWRP official firmwareDO NOT STARTexception is TWRP-COFFACE
4) If you are a fan of decorating and expanding the functionality of the system, I suggest using itXposed Installation Instructions

If any of the instructions helped you (and perhaps not many), I propose to thank the people who created them for their contribution and help with "turnip" pluses :
* varalex, , * yuandrey , * ruslan_3_, , * grafom, , * Alko2011, , * profforg7, * SWAT436,


For all suggestions and wishes, contact QMS: thank_you:
P.S. As needed, and opportunities will be supplemented and edited instructions

Also there somewhere is a link to edit your account, where you can choose a nick in addition to the big numbers yet, ask sex and date of birth. It turns out,according to the instructions from the request for unlock when I did, the account was not completed! Therefore, the most important thing. After all these procedures, I returned to the main page of the mi-cloud (where the contacts, sms and others are), and there the button was found Unlock . I clicked and got to the unlock request page, where they said that the request was sent, but they did not ask the reason. According to the instructions from the cap, I made a request a week ago and deaf. After the above steps I received SMS with unlock confirmation in less than 20 hours . Coincidence? I do not know. Today I tried to do the same for my wife’s account, immediately logging onto i.mi.com, but I didn’t find the unlock button :( Maybe because I didn’t go at the instigation of a mi-claud on my phone? I don’t know, I won’t guess. I just wish everyone Good luck in the wilds of the Chinese site.
The second thing I want to write about is unlock itself. I did it by the simplest official instructions.Chinese official did not pre-flash . Unlocked with custom firmware 7.2.13.0 which is described in the method in the header for those who are waiting for unlock . Everything is fine unlocked. So keep in mind.
And the third. Put TWRP according to the instructions of the distinguishedgrafom (There is a cap). Wait until earn tap the screen the first time you did not have all the right clicks. I would add infoy instructions how to change the language because zadolbalsya climb on the menu with the characters, until he found an icon in the form of the globe and there changed the language. But he still dumped on the Chinese, it is necessary to put at each entrance to the TWRP. But the data was indeed encrypted. Therefore put through rekaveri until I can not. Broke to drop all of my beautiful setting, formatting data, until he decided to move to a new firmware (not yet decided what I will bet or wait miui 8). I had the idea to put a flash of OTG, but it is also not installed in the TWRP! None box in the formatting does not attempt, nor on the "drive selection" is not switched. I do not think for offtopic, I would be grateful if you tell me what's wrong. And then I want to eat fish ... that is to fuck and Ruth and the memory is not cleaned)) Thank you.
Oh yeah, everything written was done on black with 64Gb.
