then i have already installed TWRP Recovery i went there and apply that update.zip
then twrp applied that zip and then i clicked reboot after applying it sucessfully.
then it stuck on MI Logo for 4 hours and then the same i tried everything nothing is working only i am able to enter fastboot mode.
i even tried Stable and DEV build both via MI PC Suite but it stuck at 50% saying " sending pmic.mbn "
Now from 3 days i dont have phone Really frustated even i applied with both accounts [email protected] and [email protected] none of them is approved yet for unlocking Bootloader.

We are in the same boat mate..
Standing to lose all the data on my fone..
Thanks to xiaomi..

We are aware of this issue and we are working on a fix. My personal opinion this "locked bootloader" is useless.. If someone doesnt want to play around with it they will just leave it. Anyway... The should be an update of Mi Suite soon that will fix this problem, thank god that I didnt update lol

Well most beta testers used Xiaomi's reccovery which worked fine with the update so they did not end up in a bootloop but for users like us using TWRP it was otherwise. Try doing a request again maybe? Write bit more details etc. I do apologise for the inconvenience of this update being released, I'm happy i never updated myself as I do use my phone a lot for business purposes which is very vital.

I'm using this, is it the older version? working well.
xiaomi.eu_multi_leo_V7.1.4.0.LXHCNCK_v7-5.1.zip
No updates showing in updater. I s everyone saying they now have no phone?
I need phone for work why am I having no issues.
I see no way back as the update disables fastboot. Luck and only luck stopped me applying the update.

Posted another req for unlock..keeping my fingers crossed..

So whats the best course of action? thinking return to stable, lock bootloader and sell. Anyone got a better idea?

I am on 5.11.19 for a long time but today, somehow, the 6.1.7 got downloaded and now it asks "reboot to apply update": is there a way to avoid it?

Exactly what @arkabose said. You can also disable automatic download.

So this looks like the only option for the lucky ones who haven't locked their bootloader.

1. Due to large amounts of requests, please wait for 10-12 days after submitting your application. If you haven't get any info after 10-12 days, please make a thread on en.miui with your Xiaomi account number, we will check it for you. Thanks for understanding
2. The unlocking procedure only supports MIUI China developer version (6.1.12 or later version) currently. MIUI China stable version will get supported in future updates
3. Some Mi Note Pro users could not unlock bootloader after updating to 6.1.12. This issue will be solved in the next update

Help - Ascend P7-L10 Locked Soft Bricked

Hi there,
recently, I tried updating my phone to B609, following a certain website's guide.
and upon finishing it, it showed the following attachment.
I have tried following almost all I can to revert it, but sadly, it does not work. and, it was a very stupid decision of me to try and update it, full-knowingly that I have a rather obsolete knowledge regarding this.
Can someone please help me, I am really sorry to have bothered the visitors of this forum, and if my thread is not in it's place, please guide me to find a proper place to help me with my phone.
Thank you

Please wait confirmation from more experienced users than me but what I would have done if I were you:
1 - Try to unlock the bootloader. For that there are tutorials here in XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-p7-l10-oem-t3062851
2 - With unlocked bootloader you should be able to flash a new rom!
Hope it helps!

Thanks for the reply friend. I really appreciate it.
Regarding the unlock bootloader, following the tutorial that you have greatly linked to, it says in one of the step it to select a device. But, I did not see any mention of Ascend P7, or for that matter, I'm not aware of another given name for Ascend P7, so, which one should I choose or any selected device would be fine?
Thank you again for taking time to help me. Much appreciated.

As it is said in the tutorial you should modify the values of the list in order to include our phone model (step 3 and following...).

I didn't think of that... I'm sure part of that info is available in the phone case but can't ensure that everything is there...
By the way I've never tried a JIG so any feedback on it would be nice!

have u found a flashabe zip stock rom? or other way?

Hi,
i guess you have to unlock your bootloader per dload again. You can force an local update by pressing power and volume plus/minus at the same time.
Is the bootloader unlocking local update based on emui2.3? If so, you'd had to downgrade to emui 2.3 (B1xx).
To do so: Flash the downgrade packages(B8xx) first, after that the full rom(B6xx) , then the next downgrade package(B6xx) and the next rom(B1xx).
Probably your phone will boot after the first full rom flash. If it does, you could get the numbers you need, and unlock per fastboot.

Yes, you could just put the update file into a folder named 'dload' in the root directory of your sd card.

You could try to boot to recovery pressing power and volume-. Does the battery charge then? I'd try myself, but my mum got my P7.. If it doesn't work you may try this script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658084. And if that all fails you could purchase a new battery as your final option.
Please don't try to charge your phone externally. Handling with LiOn-batterys without knowing exactly what you do could be quite dangerous.

There are no custom roms for lollipop, unfortunately. So you have to stick with the stock one.

Changing default launcher in MIUI 8

Hi all,
Just got a Xiaomi mi5... Was about 3 hours ago.
But I am already considering selling it back !
Why ?
Many reasons, but here the ones :
- it's so slippery that, even if it's put on a really flat table, the simple weight of the USB charging cable is enough to tear it and make it fall from the table ;
- it came with the CN ROM, and installing Google Play Store has been a nightmare...
- the unlocking procedure can take up to 10 days ! Which I can't understand especially now that kernel sources are officially released !
BUT the main reason is... My device is locked, with stock ROM. I don ot like the MIUI launcher so wanted to install my own.
Downloaded it. Installed it. Launched it. Set it as the default launcher. Gave it all permissions (+ autostart).
Despite al this, hitting the "Home" button keeps launching the MIUI launcher.
I think it's been a long time singe I ran into so much trouble just wanting to use a legitimately bought phone !!!
Any ideas on how to change the launcher for good ?
Help would be appreciated...
Regards.

Hi guys,
OK... Replying to myself !
It turns out that, to be able to choose another launcher than the default Miui launcher, I have to turn off "Enable Miui optimizations" in the developer options.
Just in case you're wondering, to turn on Developer options, you have to go to "Settings =>About phone" and then press 7 or 8 times repeatedly "MIUI Version".
Once enabled, developer options can be found under "Settings =>Additional settings".
Scroll down to the bottom of that page and you'll find "Turn on MIUI optimization" => untick the box that appears on that line.
Problem solved... so that is one !
Now let's try to find out why my Mi PC Suite doesn't detect my device !
Regards.
You do not need to stuck with China MIUI, you can flash Global MIUI which comes with Playstore.
You can either flash MIUI Global rom via Updater app or unlock the bootloader follow by fastboot to MIUI Global rom.

Hi Wang,
Of course, I know I can do that
And believe e, I can't wait to install another ROM than MIUI.
If I'd wanted to stick with MIUI, I'd go for the original instead of this pale copy, and would get my an iPhone
But I have requested an unlock code on the Xiaomi Unlock website and I am waiting for their answer.
In the meantime, I would like to use my device... and thus the need for the launcher
But I really fear that I am going to face a real problem : and that is to have my device be detected by my computer.
I download the MIUI PC Suite and installed it on Windows 10.
If I launch the app and hook up my device to my computer, and turn on MTP it does not see it.
Hope the unlocking app will detect it... or I'm stuck with stock which sucks (yeah, I'm kind of a poet !).
Regards.

MiPc doesn't work with Marshmallow, so it dosn't work with the Mi5.
But many people are experiencing other problems when trying to unlock, even though they have their permission.
But don't worry about it now

Hi Ethested,
Hum... that will be some sort of problem won't it ?
I've read that to unlock your device, you need to install Miui Dev version...
How will I be able to do that if I can't connect with Mi PC Suite ?
I've tried to flash from the updater, but all I got is a "Can't verify file" message... and thus can't install anything
I must say that I have never ran into so much trouble with a smartphone in the last 3 years.
And it is really diminishing the fun to have it...
Honestly : I have got the phone less than 24 hours ago and I am already considering reselling it

for unlock of bootloader u can either have china stable, china dev and global stable. so since urs is china MIUI shouldn't have a problem with unlocking.
I was facing the same updater app could not verify recovery rom problem, and my solution was to unlock the bootloader and follow by flashing the fastboot rom.
currently im running MIUI 8 Global dev. waiting for developer to port stable AOSP to mi 5 since Xiaomi just released kernel source few days ago.

Hi Ethested,
Thanks for your message .
I'll try to chill.
But if you know the answer, would you tell me if you know for certain that it is possible to unlock a phone that DOES NOT have the Global Dev ROM installed ?
Regards.

The Kernel got released yesterday or 1 day before yesterday, which means serious native development has just begun and the Mi5s future and all of the problems will be saved
Hi Ethested,
OK. I know that. And that is of course excellent news.
But of course to be able to install a custom ROM I will first need to unlock my bootloader.
And to unlock the bootloader I need, according to almost all websites i've read :
- 1°) an unlock Code that is manually given by Xiaomi !!!! And it can last up to 3 weeks to get it... If you're lucky, it will be only 2 days...
- 2°) a Dev ROM installed, and not the Chinese Stock ROM.
I am waiting for 1°) and have little hope to get it before the end of next week, but that is pure speculation from my side...
Meanwhile, I would like to install the Global Dev ROM that has the integrated GApps and supports more languages than English and Chinese.
There are several methods to do it...
None of them works !
So when I get my unlock code, if I am unable to to use it because I can't install that Global Dev ROM, what do I do ?
Of course, if someone would be kind enough to answer TWO SIMPLE QUESTIONS, I'D BE GRATEFUL !!!
And that question would be :
"Do I need an unlocked bootloader to install a Global Dev Rom when my device is running Miui 8.0.10 ?"
" Will I be able to unlock my bootloader even if my phone has the Chinese Stock ROM that is not a Dev ROM ?"
So if anyone can light my candle... please share

MiPc doesn't work with Marshmallow, so it dosn't work with the Mi5.
But many people are experiencing other problems when trying to unlock, even though they have their permission.
But don't worry about it now

I'm with MIUI 8 Global and MiPC Suite doesn't work on Win 10 for me also. It says "Your phone should be update..." or something.
@NexusPenguin,
You don't need Mi PC suite to flash MUI ROM, can you access internal storage from you computer ? Then put the ROM Zip into the Downloaded_rom folder and run update from you phone

Hi lapocompris,
It seems indeed you did not understand my question...
I know I can do that. But I think I mentioned in a post above that doing this only results in the message "Cannot verify file"... and so I can't update that way.
But it's over now... I got my unlock code, so unlocked the bootloader and got rid of that horrible MIUI interface ! At least, I find it horrible, but as it's quite popular, I think I am about the only one to not like it
Regards.

I seriously hate miui as well. I find the font on the status bar very small and inconvenient to read. The notification drawer is very bad and handling notifications requires a lot of hassle. It seems to be the case that most of the chinese manufacturers are going the iOS like UI and interface which I, as a long time android user, effing hate! They take out the app drawer, they throw all apps on home screens without proper optimization for organizing them. There is some unnecessary bloatware as well like antivirus crap and memory cleaners.
I found the dev rom to be much more stable than the global stable rom which is funny.
I flashed cm13 which has been working great with very minor bugs and great battery life.
The biggest problem I have right now is not being able to install enterprise apps because the phone has custom recovery and rooted.
To be honest it's my fault that I didn't do my research about the interfaces implemented on top of android by chinese manufacturers . I assumed since this is android then I won't see much BS but damn!
I thought about getting a one plus 3 but their subreddit has pointed out a **** ton of problems which I can not live with plus 5.5" screen vs 5.2" makes a huge difference.
Just to provide some current info, I was in the same position of the op with a modified China rom. Requested unlock code and got a reply in about 30 mins. Unlocked the bootloader easily (make sure u sign in to same mi account on ur pc as the one on your phone.) Next step was flashing a FASTBOOT rom file. This was a problem as installing the required qualcomm drivers in Windows 10 using the faqs on the forums was not successful. Turns out there is a new windows installation package that is signed so windows recognises and uses it. Wasted a lot of time before I found this but actual flashing of global dev rom took like 2-3 mins after thay

Waiting till they incorporate support for capacitive home button before I switch to cm13

Having problem flashing a genuine firmware

So Hello guys, I've got a Mi5 from NIS-Store around a month ago.
It's working totally fine but... I've set up finger print and password protection but after testing it, I decide to remove it and then where all my problems with Mi5 come up.
When you get to the settings option and get to password, it simply shows a white blank screen and after few seconds, settings apk just crash.
I've find out that I'm running chinese seller rom or something like that. Found some tutorials on Xiaomi website how to flash the proper rom but non of them are working for me or I'm just to stupid for it (Never done anything on other phones then Sony :laugh.
It's running 7.2.8.0.0 (MAACNDB) Miui 7. Its defo not the global version even though it is said... I've tried flashing proper rom with both update apk on the phone and the MiSuite (far as I remember the name) and I couldn't done it.
Do You have any ideas how to get a proper rom on it ? I'm running out of ideas...
Other then that problem, phone itself is just amazing.
Unlock your device first. Then download official fastboot rom for your device. Flash it using miflasher
Thanks, waiting from Xiaomi for approval in order to unlock it. Any idea where can I get the Xiaomi phone with a proper official software? Would love to get another one but with proper software.

Check their website for fastboot-ready firmware.
I got my Mi5 from ibuygou.com and asked them to include the original ROM. They sent me a factory sealed Mi5 with the China ROM, which was what I wanted. I was able to unlock the bootloader and flash the global ROM in minutes.

Before I start, will it erase all the media on the storage? Like apps, photos etc ?

It will erase everything besides of internal storage, but better make backup.

Problems with Honor 4x

Sir,
I own a honor 4x and I have been using this device happily from last February 2016.But suddenly ,some days ago, as I was using it, it suddenly switched off and even though the battery on the device was full, I tried to power on. it switched on and then came the honor logo and then suddenly switched off and then automatically this process repeated.
Now I'm not able to use my smartphone. Kindly help me. Moreover there is no honor service center in our area (silchar).
Is there a way to install the running software version (lollipop) in this phone. If yes then please inform the details. I'll be able to do it.
If you could help me solve this problem then I'll be very thankful to you.

This looks like a hardware problem. Look for any generic service center in malls. They can help.

1.download stock full rom zip for your device and copy it into sd card
2.Install official twrp for your device(as you have unlocked your bootloader already)
3. boot into TWRP and click on wipe > advanced wipe select all partitions except sd card.
4.now mount sd card.
5.browse to the location where rom.zip is present and click on install.
6.wait till device boots
here is the link for full rom packages

only download the rom which have status as full.

Stuck on honor logo

Ive had this problem for ages and tried everything i can think of. hopefully by now someone has experienced the same problem and solved it.
*My phone is stuck on honor boot logo
*i can access e-recovery
*i can access stock recovery
*i can access fastboot and device is recognised on my laptop
* i can wipe cache and factory reset successully and have done many times
*i can and have used the dload (3 button method) to flash stock rom successfully
Now the problem is that although i have flashed the earliest stock rom NEM-L51C432B102 it fails saying incorrect package!!!i think this is because my phone came with B103 or B104 and you can only flash from what your phone originally had and up.
I have flashed NEM-L51C432b120 and also NEM-L51C432b130 and although it says successful it reboots and remains stuck on honor boot logo!
I have entered fastboot and i can issue commands but they all fail saying REMOTE COMMAND NOT ALLOWED.
I can't use ADB because it doesn't recognise my device. Obviously ADB and FASTBOOT wont work because i can't access developper options and select enable USB debugging or OEM Unlock because the phone is stuck on honor boot logo.
Also my bootloader must be locked. I have the unlock code but i can't issue the command FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX because as mentioned before it says FAILED REMOTE COMMAND NOT ALLOWED.
I have even tried flashing rollback packages(there isnt one for NEM-L51)for other models, followed by flashing stock rom for my model device.
When i bought the phone it came with either the B103 or B104 package but after months of searching i can't find on the internet.
Is my phone a lost cause??? is it hard bricked? So i am praying that there is a guru out there who can solve this very strange problem.
Many thanks in advance.

Oh well. Seriously this is the same issue my frn asked me to help. This is soo serious that we can only unbrick through update.app or else service center. Since u said dload method works but stucks device on bootlogo. U need to visit service center if under Warranty

Flash these files and it should, most probably, be fine.
use dload method as given here- https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73954487&postcount=240
as there are many different opinions on this method of using only update.app file but thats not true and it should be all the files.
Main file - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1165/g104/v71812/f1/full/update.zip
Data file- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...1812/f1/full/hw/eu/update_data_full_hw_eu.zip
Flash both the files in order. 1st file will restore your system but then you need to have 2nd file so that apps are installed and all working fine.
After 1st file, it may reboot on its own and stuck on honor logo, reboot to recovery and then do factory reset, it will be fine.
Then let it boot to set up. Dont set your phone. Shutdown and flash the 2nd file.
boot and set up.
Good luck. Please provide feedback once done. In case of further issue, let me know and will dig more into this.
Oh this is hard.

you cant follow simple instructions? you shouldnt be on this forum if youre not ready to lose data or brick your device.
Thanks for your input so far people. Much appreciated. @shashank1320 I am downloading the files you suggested and will flash them exactly according to your instructions. I will get back to you in a couple of days with the result. Fingers crossed.

Unfortunately my warranty has expired. The annoying thing is that if i had sent my device off six months ago when this first happened it would still be under warranty but in the UK there is only 1 service center, yes 1, and its hundreds of miles away! So i figured i could solve it myself. You live and learn.
Hey there everyone. I still havent managed to solve the issue with my device and its not through lack of trying. I have re downloaded all of the stock firmwares that you can possibly find on the internet. I also found one ive necer seen before. Its a full service repair b355. Fingers crossed, a miracle might happen and it will just boot up like when i first bought it. to begin with tho, i'm going to start with b102 and work through them b120, b130 ,b130rollback ,b350(beta), b350, b355 and then the b355 full service repair! I also got a couple of rollback packages(around 80mb) if all else fails.
I know, i'm nuts!! Finally before i admit defeat i'm going to part with £15 to buy credits for the dc-unlocker and dcPhoenx programs. From what ive read it has a good chance of solving it. I've taken soooo long before considering this option because i think its wrong that someone(s) is making loads of money from this. Why havent huawei/honor included a similar program in hi-suite. Anyway ive gone off on a tangent.
One last question though. Strangely enough i only just thought of it recently....
Is it a necessity to have your sim card in the tray as well as the sd-card????? All this time i havent had a sim in the phone as its in a crappy old one so i can still communicate with the world!!!!
Thank you to everyone for taking your time to read this. I hope a solution is possible.

No need of sim card in tray while using dload. Just sd card is fine. Let me go through it again and try to help before you go for 15 dollars for dc phoenix

Did you flash those files i given? If not can try. Else i will have to look for other alternative
yeah i downloaded those files you had mentioned in your post and followed the instructions to the letter.
I've got a suggestion if you have tried all these above.
Can you try the following on ADB and then try to unlock OEM again.
fastboot oem relock YourUnlockCode
I've done the same and it helped, even when bootloader displayed UNLOCKED. Please try it. :good::good:

@shashank1320 Hi, i have similar problem with my NEM-L21 device... I tried to flash the Elite ROM v5.1 but i didnt succeed so i decided to restore my old rom from backup with TWRP. When i restored it it just didnt load. It was stuck on honor logo for a long time. I tried the dload method many times but nothing worked so far. I even tried unbrick it with HUAWEI Multi-tool but it also didnt worked.
Now i cant acces anything, just fastboot. I cant even turn off the device. Please can you help me somehow?

Try unlocking the bootloader again even if it is unlocked. It will factory reset the device and it should boot fine. Have stuck on this many a time and this was the method i followed.
