[Mi 3 General] Fikshun:
yeah!

requirements : ampere & battery calibration both can be found on playstore

first drain ur battery completely I mean complete dead

(Android by default shutdowns before reaching 0% so I just boot back to twrp and bump up the brightness and wait)

next plug in ur charger, power on and wait until it reaches 100%

open ampere and check if it says Full if not then wait sometime until it does

don't unplug the charger yet

open battery calibration and tap calibrate

(u can also do this manually but deleting the batterystats.bin file)

upon success unplug charger and reboot for the final time

Done!
[Mi 3 General] SenseiK:
Thanks a lot!
[Mi 3 General] Bertazure:
Thanks for the detailed procedure.

I will try.

Batteries die. Yes, when new it had 3000 mAh. But after 500 charge discharge cycles maybe half of that is left? Normally that isn't an issue... you order a new battery, open the back and simply swap out the battery. But alas, Xiaomi thinks that isn't necessary. Just use a power bank... or buy a new phone.

Imagine a car that you can't fill up...

[Mi 3 General] Mr Rainman:
A bit off-topic but technically you can. You don't even need very specific tools to do so (a set of small screwdrivers might be enough). This video might help (https://youtu.be/FbUsIy2Jeeg ) though it's for changing the display. Can't really give a guarantee but I've changed the battery cover multiple times, got even some different colours for it. The only problem I see is finding an authentic battery or one you dare to put in your phone as unofficial batteries have been known to cause some trouble.

[Mi 3 General] luigieg:
You need miui marshmallow on your phone to get that update to work because of partition merging.
[Mi 3 General] Me_Ashish_:
Yes you need to get partition with official MIUI 7 alpha builds (there is alternate thread for MIUI MM, check that)

BTW MIUI MM had a 1.31 GB System Partition
[Mi 3 General] ashish289:
procedure to install rom plzzz share :)
[Mi 3 General] Me_Ashish_:
There might be other simpler way which idk but here's my method of installing MIUI 7 MM.

Visit the thread http://xdaforums.com/xiaomi-mi-3/general/mi3-4-marshmallow-6-0-5-12-24-alpha-t3280037

You can do figure out on ur own there though.

Edit: I'm not sure whether installing 4.4 alpha ROM will be enough for repatriation (the guy on original thread says so atleast). Though when I checked system size on 4.4 alpha ROM, it had 660 MB. But I still believe 5.12.17 alone should be enough, check on ur own

1. Download Alpha ROMs 4.4 and 6.0

2. Flash stock reparation ZIP.

3. Install Mi Stock recovery (can find on MIUI forum). The method there given is fastboot but you can use TWRP to install recovery image.

4. Rename 4.4 alpha ROM to update.zip and flash via Mi recovery.

5. In the ROM, go to updater and select the 6.0 zip.

(U can't install the ROM manually from recovery, using the inbuilt updater app reboots installs automatically via recovery)

That's it. Either use the ROM or flash this ROM from TWRP.

BTW as usual u can get a error in TWRP in 1st install, than reboot recovery and reflash ROM.

PS: This ROM should be my daily driver (atleast for a while) as he fixed the kernel modes as per MIUI (balanced mode works as MIUI one). And Vainglory doesn't lag at all at balanced mode (1st time in my experience on Ivan's ROM with MIUI balance mode). CPU will run at max at 1.5 GHz and in general at 1.19

The animations are fine (not 100% smooth on balanced of course)

[MENTION=5286690]Me_Ashish_[/MENTION] thanks man updated successfully .cyanogenmod official rom support this extended partition layout?
[Mi 3 General] varun.singh286:
I have a few questions:

1. Do we have to flash all three roms given in that post - 5.12.17, 5.12.29, 5.12.31 ?

2. Since your description tells that only two roms are to be flashed then which two of the three to use?

3. Do we have to change the extended 1.2gb partition back to stock partition before flashing the Mi stock recovery?
[Mi 3 General] Me_Ashish_:
1. Only install the alpha build 4.4 and 6.0 (5.12.31 is just like 12.29, install any. 31 is latest version)

2. You can use any ROM you want.

3. Yes, probably. I forgot to mention that you have to flash stock partition ZIP before installing those 2 ROM.

No need to flash reparation ZIP afterwards for installing CM etc. You can use the extended partition of MIUI normally on any ROM.
[Mi 3 General] luigieg:
So is it possible to flash twrp if we are already on the latest alpha? Thanks.....

Thanks. It helped. MiFlash flashed the fastboot rom and my device is back to life again.

Now what to do?

If I again try to update from 5.12.17 to 5.12.29 then it'll again get bricked. Then what should I do?

I managed to get everything working again.

Now I want to get root. In the 6.1.1 build update changlog it's written that Ivan added SuperSU 2.46 but there is no root available.

So which SuperSU file should I flash for 6.1.1 build the 2.52beta one which was working fine in 5.12.18 build or the 2.46 one.
[Mi 3 General] bukojoe:
These roms requires you to have resized parition, else you will get this error which means out of disk space. First resize using CWM and use TWRP to flash roms because sometimes, recovery still sees your original partition sizes. TWRP has the resize/repair tool so that installer can see the full 1.2GB space after resize.
[Mi 3 General] arief rachman:

[Mi 3 General] Me_Ashish_:
Nope, I meant it goes properly into deep sleep. It was 60% time on deep sleep except of those weird awake history as shown in screenshot. Need more testing.
[Mi 3 General] varun.singh286:
That battery drain is because of the very poor cellular network. You can see it in all yellow most of the time and even red which means its struggling to get good cellular network and that's why most of the battery is used in constant searching for better signal. It happens with my device a lot whenever I am in low network area like outskirts of the city and while travelling too. The only solution is not to keep device on 3G mode all the time. Use 2G network as much as you (switch to 3G only if you want to use internet or something) OR switch to another network operator which provides good signal in your area.

Look at my battery details: (I don't get what the deal with "Miscellaneous" but it always stays at the top.

Doze Mode is working pretty well. Doze Mode (Deep Sleep) works only when your device is perfectly idle and not moving at all. As you can see when I went to sleep and my phone was on the table the Doze Mode kicked in and saved a LOT of battery. So it starts working only in perfect idle device condition. And rest is self explanatory.

[Mi 3 General] Me_Ashish_:
Deepsleep is not at all working for some reason now. It's not even Network behind for draining as I also checked with 2G.

Suggested apps to check what is causing it?

I tried the classic Wakelock Detector, which gave error on open. Some CPU Spy app doesn't show proper stats of wakelock.

Now this app Better Battery Status. Shows some wakelock in kernel but in partial wakelock it shows nothing.
[Mi 3 General] Anandababu153:
Yes, I never got the Doze mode to work over the night time (Flat surface, data off, preferred network GSM only).

No WhatsApp, FB etc since the data will be turned off. No calls, No SMS.

I always face 12-15% drain over night (7-8 hours). CPU spy will report that the phone was in deep sleep, and the battery graph will show "NO Awake", during the period.

I never saw a FLAT line in battery graph over the night time, its always a slope .....

Its weird, deep sleep yet battery drain....
[Mi 3 General] Me_Ashish_:
When I had 60% time deep sleep, battery still got drained. Than deep sleep stopped working.

I installed Amplify now. Gonna see tonight if it helps somehow.
[Mi 3 General] varun.singh286:
Is is Mi4 or Mi3.

I have Mi3 and it doesn't have any such issue. If you are using Mi4 then maybe its device specific problem.

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

Try restarting the device. But first go to recovery and clear Cache and Dalvik Cache. Then restart.

Sometimes it happens that some system level process continues to run in background and is unable to stop for some reason. Restarting solves it.
[Mi 3 General] imgblur:
Hi guys, wanted little feedback on this ROM. How is the battery life? Any bugs? And the slow charging issue all other MM ROM's have. Do camera and HDR work? Response will be really appreciated, thanks. :)
[Mi 3 General] varun.singh286:
The ROM is awesome.

The battery life is great. I am getting more than 3+hrs of SOT every day.

There is a very tiny bug like dual contacts because of whatsapp contact sync (maybe) and I dont think I have encountered any other bug other than this at all till now.

Charging time is normal as before. It takes nearly 3 hours to charge from 1% - 100%.

Camera works and since I use Google Camera and everything works fine. HDR, Panorama, Lens Blur, Photo Sphere, 4K etc all are working brilliant. No bugs in camera at all.

This ROM is nearly perfect now.
[Mi 3 General] imgblur:
3+ hours SOT on moderate use or heavy use? Yes I too faced the dual contacts bug on few MM ROM's. I am really keen on using MM. Any considerably stable ROM out there? :p Or should I just stick to Lollipop till the dust clears?
[Mi 3 General] varun.singh286:
Both. If i continuously use it then 3+ hrs of SOT and if i use it normally then also 3+ hours of SOT. Dual contacts bug doesnt bother as I dont really check the contacts app that much and dialer is working fine and this bug is not really causing any problem. It'll be fixed pretty soon maybe in next update.

This is the most stable ROM out there as it is coming straight from Xiaomi itself if not directly. Ivan works for Xiaomi and he is the one who builds AOSP ROMs for all of Xiaomi's devices.

So this is the best one.

Its better to hop on the MM train because updates will keep on coming and you will keep on waiting for the dust to clear and by that time Android N will come out. Its an never ending cycle until you buy another phone.

So give your phone some MM now. :D
[Mi 3 General] imgblur:
Haha. :p True story about the updates. Ok I shall take your word for it. Is SuperSU included or needs to be flashed separately?
[Mi 3 General] varun.singh286:
In the latest update changelog it was written that SuperSU has been added but it want there.

So after flashing the ROM just flash the SuperSU 2.52 beta version (you can find it in one of the replies in this thread probably in the beginning). It works perfectly.
[Mi 3 General] imgblur:
Thank you so much. :)

SuperSu 2.46 Final is added in latest AOSP 6.6.1.. But latest AOSP needs Extended Partition to Flash. You will need 1.2GB system space. And to do this there is only way to flash the Miui Alpha 5.12.17 ROM which is a Partition Merger/Extender also.

[Mi 3 General] imgblur:
Thanks for the info. I already have system partition extended upto 1.31GB. Should I still flash MIUI Alpha or can I go ahead with flashing AOSP? And I don't think flashing MIUI Alpha is the only way to extend the partition. There is a repartitioning thread in the general section where I found a zip file, which I flashed to extend the partition.
[Mi 3 General] varun.singh286:
I did the same thing. I used the zip to repartition my device in two so that I can install the 5.12.17 rom. It worked but when I tried updating to 5.12.29 to extend the partition for android 6.0 my phone got bricked.

I would suggest flash a fastboot ROM using Miflash. It'll restore default factory partitions. Then using mirecovery update to 5.12.17 and then use updater app to install 5.12.29 update.

After this you can flash twrp and flash this AOSP ROM.

[Mi 3 General] Anandababu153:
Give all permissions to the "Updater" app.

what is the error message you are facing?

Looks like you extended your partition using the MIUI Alpha Firmwares. Is that right?
[Mi 3 General] varun.singh286:
first restore stock partition setting and flash the stock MI recovery. then wipe everything except storage.

then flash 5.12.17 using update option in Mi recovery. here is the update

http://xdaforums.com/xiaomi-mi-3/general/mi3-4-marshmallow-6-0-5-12-24-alpha-t3280037

then flash any MIUI MM rom like 5.12.29 or onwards using the updater app in MIUI.

After booting in MIUI MM flash twrp using Flashify app. then you can flash this AOSP rom from twrp.

For the updater crash try granting the storage permission.
[Mi 3 General] Pi3rluigi:
I've done as you said:

-started with a fastboot rom flashed with MiFlash

-flashed 5.12.17

-flashed miui 7_6.1.6 alpha

-flashed Ivan's 5.12.1_6.0

-flashed TWRP

-flashed ota 5.12.1-5.12.18

-granted all permission to updater

-downloaded latest ota via updater and try to flash

the result is in the attached screenshoot and a bootloop, exiting bootloop flashing another time Ivan's 6.0

The system partition should be ok, checked it with CWM and adb

My last idea is to go back to stock Mirecovery and flash with it
