[Redmi Note 2 General] Ouzo:
The first ROM I flashed was the stable ROM from MIUI.com. At the moment this is available as Chinese only (with only Chinese and English languages on board). It is also MIUI version 6 not 7. You do not need TWRP installed to flash this. You can just download it straight to internal storage, then use the Xiaomi updater app (which is already on the phone) to manually flash it. This ROM is not rooted.

Next I tried the weekly ROM from MIUI.com. At that point I incorrectly thought that it would be multi language, but it wasn't. It did at least have MIUI 7 on board though. TWRP is also not needed to flash this. This ROM is rooted. Root settings can be accessed via the Security app. You can also install SuperSU, grant it root access, then use it to control the root access of other apps if you wish. There are no Google apps on board. I was on n holiday at the time so I manually placed all the relevant files, set permissions and so on using ES File explorer that I side loaded and granted root privileges to. Yes, my girlfriend thought it was very romantic of me to spend a whole evening split between doing this and hunting some particularly aggressive mosquitoes trapped in our room. Only the best for my love.

Finally I downloaded the latest weekly (not stable) ROM from from Xiaomi.EU. As well as being a beta, it is not an official Xiaomi ROM. They do also have a stable ROM in offer, but it is not rooted. Basic Google apps are installed. TWRP is not needed here either. However, I installed it briefly to make a full backup of my phone, and a separate backup of the NVRAM portion of the device where the IMEI resides. Experience tells me this is important on an MTK phone in case the area becomes corrupt during an incorrect flash. You can also use SPFlash Tools to do this from a computer. Google the process, it's well worth being prepared. Damian Parsons over on GizBeat and China Phone Arena has done some useful tutorials with videos. Make sure you have the right version of SPFlash tools (which is not the same as MTKdroidtools -or something like that). I have only used a couple of times with my first two MTK phones so I don't know what version you need to use with this chipset.

For my purposes NONE of these ROMs actually fit the bill. Why? Because none of them so far allow me to select UK English as the default language or select the UK as the region I'm in. It's a small thing, but the last three Chinese phones I've had all suffered from the same problem. I end up rooting and using More Locales app to create a new default language code over and above selecting UK English in Google keyboard.

Once Xiaomi release an official global ROM the download page for the Note 2 will look like in the attached screenshot which shows the Mi4 page. Note the two tabs at the top, global and Chinese, in addition to the 'stable' and 'developer' sections down the left hand side.

Please somebody correct me if I'm wrong because I'm new to Xiaomi devices :)
[Redmi Note 2 General] shemsha:
Thanks for the detailed response.

Sounds like that for my purposes, and until an official rom is out, the easiest option is either the latest weekly or stable from xiaomi.eu.

I understand they can be installed using xiaomi updater as well?
[Redmi Note 2 General] droidaem:
Yes, you can install them the same way as official ROMs.
[Redmi Note 2 General] Ouzo:
Also, when I received my phone there was a lot of non-MIUI related bloatware and possibly malware on board. It was multi language (with UK English as a built in option) but it all felt wrong, slow and dodgy. Reading elsewhere it was recommended the best thing to do was flash a ROM from a PC using the fastboot method to erase everything, then start from there. There are fastboot ROMs with instructions on the en.miui.com site. If you think you need to, you could flash via fastboot, then download your subsequent choice of ROM from xiaomi.EU and flash that however you please. As I was away (and impatient) I didn't do the first flash via fastboot. I just did a full wipe from the stock recovery, then put a ROM into internal memory, then flashed it from the stock recovery, then factory reset again. No idea if that was sufficient, but there's no sign of the extra apps any more.
[Redmi Note 2 General] Klanac89:
You don't need TWRP :D
[Redmi Note 2 General] zan5hin:
Thanks for the info, this is great for me. I will follow what you said regarding backing up this NVRAM you speak of, as I just read that the source code for the Helios X10 has been released, so we can expect more people including members of the HTC M9+ forum playing around with code.

It would be nice to have an option for UK English (or Australian English for me, to be precise) however I haven't noticed much of a difference, maybe because I have Swiftkey installed and that already has the correct language setting.
[Redmi Note 2 General] Ouzo:
Changing the language to UK English is only part of the problem for me. Basically the phone thinks I'm in the U.S, or rather, that I have a U.S phone in the UK. This can cause problems within apps that want tailor content to my region code (or even deny me content). I've tried editing the build.prop a little, but it doesn't seem to help.

Mobile Uncle tools (free in Play Store) used to be able to back up one's IMEI number, but it didn't work on this phone. Dunno if that's because it runs lollipop. Anyway, that's why TWRP was handy and I will try using SPFlashTools again at some point.

I'm wondering since the moto x is almost identical to the nexus 6 would the sim card/sd card tray fit the nexus 6? Does anyone have the specs I tried looking for it but could not find it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
If you're referring to the new moto x, they are nothing alike. And no the sim tray would not fit, nor am I sure why you would want to try?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jay8302:
Same design for the most part the internal parts might be different. It would be nice for nexus 6 to have a sim card slot with some modifications... I was just curious
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
What would you want a modified sim tray for? It serves only one purpose and that's to hold the sim card.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QQboss:
Heyy guyz,

my MI3 is not charging since yesterday. Well it charged to 15% overnight, but now its only saying its charging, battery indicator says 0-2% max and the phone wont last on longer then few minutes...

Do you think its battery, or some other issue? Do you guys have some tips on how to approach this?

Thanks!
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starf1:
See any app running that is draining the battery.

Use a different charger. If it is useful.

Otherwise, You have to check the battery. Mostly replace.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haysthecoder:
There are two possible cause.

1. ROM

2. Dead battery

For ROM, you can try to flash different custom ROMs to see if it can fix your issue.

For dead battery, you have two options:

1. Buy a new one from online retail store. You have to replace yourself or ask people nearby for help.

2. Visit Xiaomi technical support center. It might be free if you are still in warranty. Or else, they may charge you money.

this is freaken wierd coz it happened to me yesterday when i backed up my mobile and it restared i lost my email account, only yesterday out of all days when i actually do the same action, usually nothing happens but only yesterday, wierd, i have advantage 7500 with WM6
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apd:
If you are saying that the email accounts had gone after the ROM upgrade, that is what should happen. Please clarify.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] coolish:
dont reset it right after you create the accounts

you need to wait a while after doing some modify on your u1000 to let the modified data go to rom from ram

I have done a new flash ROM and seems to me that is OK now.

This problem is a bug of WM5.

there is a tiny solution to restore the mails accounts:

you can download it for PPC or smartphone from here:

(the web is in spanish, but the app is in english).

good luck

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] JonSlater:
Fixed!

Just had the same problem - 4 email accounts disappeared from Messaging during a soft reset - although 2 Today plugins still showed unread mail in those accounts and Messaging wouldn't let me create a new account with the same name.

Anyway, the PPC application linked above fixed it. Thanks V. much!

BTW, the bottom button disappears off the bottom of the display in landscape mode. Switch to portrait first, or just click what little you can see of the button to proceed with the repair (like I did).

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
Red LED = dead battery. If you can't get it to charge in fastboot mode (just leave it plugged in for a day or two), then you'll need to disassemble the phone to either replace the battery or force it to charge - the latter of which is only if you know what you're doing (Li-ons like to catch fire and explode). You should obviously fix the power button while you're in there.

There is nothing else to be said about it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZEUZ THE ATOM:
Thanx xasbo...i already figured that out my self and opened up my phone and disconnected the battery from the motherboard and kept it away for sometime and went on for the power button...i tried everything but power button seems okay..it's not a hardware issue...so i reconnected the battery and left it charge for the whole evening and voila it turned itself on with56% of battery...:D ..anyway thank you all for supporting me... :D you guys are awesome..:thumbup:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
:good: good deal.

iirc, the power button is run through one of the flex cables, they can tear very easily and sometimes it is difficult to see. the replacement flex is cheap, just a few bucks, might be worth trying.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
Sounds like a pretty normal bootloop. Make sure you're flashing the right FTF for your specific C690x device. Start with a completely stock FTF and work up from there.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZEUZ THE ATOM:
Already tried like 20 times but same result...i'm soo fed up with this phone..is there anyway i could bring it back like the old times???
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
Are you trying to flash from recovery or fastboot? If the former, try the latter.

Or you can just send it into Sony for repair.

Don't blame the phone, though - you're the one that broke it. :good:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deathschythe33:
Red LED doesn't automatically mean dead battery. Reading the whole thread, You said (before opening the phone) that it would turn on own it's own, and turn back off. Your phone is soft bricked. It kept trying to boot up but since it's on a boot loop it would power on, get stuck, power off, then powers on again - hence called a boot loop. Boot loops can drain the battery which is why pressing the PWR+VOL UP was advised so you can power off the phone completely. By powering it off, you can then charge the phone up to 100% so you can work out the boot loop that you are on. I have no knowledge about actual hardware stuff like that of opening the phone, so I cannot comment on the power button that is broke. But one thing I can say is, it's easy to revive a soft bricked phone that doesn't have a broken power button. So this comment is basically me threading all the symptoms you have mentioned and explain it in the best manner I can. I have experienced lots of boot loops myself and have managed to revive my nasty Z1 which is why I am a little familiar with it's symptoms. I do hope you get the power button fixed so reviving your phone would be easy.

take nandroid backup from your recovery for that first root your device then install any recovery than take full system backup it will backup all your system data and in future you can also restore it
[General Questions and Answers] Agent_Sm1th:
You're going to have to be rooted to do a full backup. You need to look into that first.

Once you've done that, you can then install a backup app from the store such as nandroid backup.

If you install a custom recovery like twrp, you can also do a full backup.
