[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] drishinbalz:
Hello,

I will getting the Xiaomi Mi 5S Plus tomorrow.

What are some of the first things I should be doing? I feel like I will not like the MIUI too much as I have used stock android on my old Nexus and more recently Cyanogen on my OPO. I plan to install Cyanogenmod on the phone as soon as they release it.

I believe I should do the following to prepare for that so that I do not need to start from scratch in the future (unsure of order and how to do it, some advice and guides here would be helpful, as well as an explanation of the purpose of each step):

- install custom recovery (I'm 99% certain I need to do this to install another ROM)

- root the phone (I don't think this is necessary, but allows me to do other things e.g. use Greenify)

- unlock bootloader (not sure what the purpose of this is)

Are there any other steps I should take?

Thanks in advance!

Unlock bootloader-twrp-miui eu rom - bingo

No need for greenify

Also ex Nexus use here
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] drishinbalz:
Can you please explain what you mean a bit more?

No need to root?

What is mi ui EU rom? I have intl version of the device (Hong Kong). Does this make a difference?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] mtbkule:
Without unlocking the bootloader, you can't install any custom recovery or custom ROM, just the official Xiaomi releases.

The eu version have less chinese apps and some minor changes compared to the global version. You can check the differences in their website.

Once you have unlocked the bootloader and install twrp, becoming root is pretty easy.

I also use Xiaomi EU. It works great. If you want the UI to look slightly more like a Nexus or Pixel try the "Pixel N" or "Android N" themes.

If you are talking about xiaomi.eu, yes it's different.

It's based on official China ROM and as you can see the release of official Global ROM is lagging behind china rom for both mi5s versions. For example stable for Plus is 8.0.4.0 for Global (I guess just one release) while it's 8.2.2.0 for China.

It's cleaned from Chinese apps, it contains many European languages (including Italian) and gapps.

I'm on 8.0.4.0 of Global Rom and I must admit that this is the first phone which makes me so satisfied. I'm gonna stay close to later products from Xiaomi as long as they keep doing this way. :laugh:
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] claudioita:
I don-t understand the different ROM-s.

I now have 8.0.4 Global Stable.

It seems tha a 8.2.2 Global Stable should come out since 20 February (but did not come out)

Then there is a 7.3.9 Global Beta released March 10

http://en.miui.com/thread-534687-1-1.html

But why Beta is a LOWER number (7.3.9 to 8.0.2)???????????

Very confusing

hello guys. im am strongly considering buying this phone and i just wanted to know if you guys think its worth it to get the 6gb version or is 4gb ram more then enough? i do play alot of games of my phone but on my current one i never seem to use that much ram honestly. please give me your honest opinions
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] claudioita:
4GB is a lot of Ram in my opinion.

Think if you need 64 or 128 of storage in your phonbe, and make your decision based on that.

As far as I know, for my usage (and I am a heavy user) 4GB of RAM is enough nowadays

Problem sending MMS picture messages on Xiaomi Mi 5S Plus

Thanks for trying to help. I have now resolved the problem!. The reason phone was not sending was because of 3G signal only at my home. When I tried in a 4G area not far from my location a picture message flew through. Many thanks re whats app .I use same and there is no difficulty sending pictures on it as I Have good broadband 240 megabytes boosted to almost double that with an Asus rt -87 u router and an Asus AC -66 extender.

You can find any and latest firmwares for your Huwaei phone by using the tool Firmware finder http://xdaforums.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146

The developer asked to share it.

It has pc version and phone application from playstore.

With this application you can update your phone and it's working 100%
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Finally.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] tsiglas:
So you have try this and it works?

If yes you do it with Android app from playstore or from pc?

It will be great solution for everyone who has problems with OTA updates if this working great!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Yes i tried it ,with the application and it work.

You need the app from first page in his thread, it's a test version not the one in playstore.

Only work with signed firmwares.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] touns_j:
do you perhaps know how the pc app works ? i found the firmware and downloaded it but i don't know how to go about installing it ( my phoen is in a brick state , it boots normally but then i get a black screen with only the soft keys displayed)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
the instuctions inside pc app http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/faq/
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] touns_j:
i read that and nowhere it explains how to install the firmware via the PC app ( especially considering my predicament ) but thanks
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
It's in test version,but if you want maybe try:

Open firmware finder on pc ,start firmware update and copy the link for the firmware you want to flash,the link should be like http:..../..../f1/

And click start the server.

On your phone connect to the same wifi as ur pc,go to wifi settings, click and hold on the connected network,you will see advance settings,fill ip same as the ip of ur pc and port same as the one in firmware finder.

Once done go to update in phone settings and check for updates,you should see a new firmware update.

Hope you will understand.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] touns_j:
i don't mean to sound rude but seems that you didn't read what i said my phone is in a brick state , it boots normally but then i get a black screen with only the soft keys displayed , so i can't install anything since the whole screen is just black
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Yeah sorry 1 am here lol

Did you tried a factory reset from recovery?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] touns_j:
yeah did that several times , the latest huawei device i had was the mate 7 , i didn't know they locked the update process via the dload method, i wouldn't allowed my gf to buy this phone if i knew , i thought i would be able to fix it quickly but oh well she'll just have to return it, one more reason to make me happy that i opted for the pixel xl instead of the mate 9

I have the LON-L29C636B124 firmware, the app from play store found the B139 for this device/donwloaded/md5 checked/unpacked and moved to the Dload folder bjt when i go the recovery it says there is nothing on that folder.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Update the application and in it''s settings enable server installation.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Lodix:
Do you mean "installation via system update", I enabled that and it installed and ad-on that forced the phone to detect the update... it updated but in the phone info it still has the same number but the security patch is now from December instead of November haha
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Yes that's how it work right now.

Doesn't work, downloaded the update, moved to reload folder, starts update and fails verification.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Esterra:
Ok, selected the ota not full B138 it updated, the security patch is december, ank kernel info date also december, but why it shows 126 instead of 138?

Maybe it just updated minor things not the full system?

And after update i do not notice anything. :D
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
You don't have to download the update in firmware finder,you only need to activate the server update in firmware finder and change the proxy, after that you go to system update and check for updates.

The update here is online update and the update in service center is offline update.

We do not have an offline update for C185 middle East region.

We only have offline updates for C636 and AL00 here in this forum.

If you can get this offline update from the service center and upload here would be great :)

Do you have a link for the support site?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] infoenekas:
No bro,he do it In front of my eyes,he put a file in a memory sd!

also i finds links and shares here. perhaps​ i mistakes and u says​ true.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Yes i know that he use a file in sd card but this file is special one not same as the one we download, that's why i am asking you if you can get the file that he use .

You need to be a friend with him so he will give it to you :)

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] miker71:
Just got my Axon 7, shipped from DE to UK, thought I'd try manual software update.

Current version listed as ZTE A2017GV1.0.0B06

It times out with Network Unavailable despite the fact it is connected to WiFi and Chrome works fine as well as everything else needing internet connections.

I am on Three UK, haven't tried updating without a SIM ... is that worth trying? I did see at initial setup I was prompted to accept some sort of 3UK profile though I assumed this is just APN/MMS stuff.

Anyone else having similar problem trying to update?

I see talk of updating to B08 etc, from 2017G --- is 2017G same as 2017GV1... wouldn't want to assume anything this early on in my game :)

TIA for any tips/advice.

Am really liking this phone though, might be nice to get latest update for security mainly, not sure if many features are added?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nstirton:
Same issue here as it happens, though I'm currently trying to update WITHOUT a sim (didn't appreciate it was nano so new one on order!).

Can't speak to the EU version, but I was surprised when my A2017U would not complete initial setup (& update) without the SIM, although wifi was strong. All completed quickly as soon as I popped in the SIM.

Hi,

I have the same issue here.

I've just bought A2017G from Italy (Amazon) and I live in France. Can't have the upade to B08. There is always this message "No network" after a minute of searching. I tried with 4G and Wifi and there is the same issue!

I have tried many solutions but I wasn't able to update :

- used three different sim cards from 3 operators

... Unsuccessful !

Anyone have idea?

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] deoki:
Maybe ZTE is updating its servers so that the updates can finally deploy at the same time, the same version, for everyone.

Or, maybe... they are silently getting rid of Adups and moving to another kind of upload process, before **** hits the proverbial fan.

Also, Global Axon 7 here, brought via Amazon.es, sent from Germany and now used across Portugal/Spain. Running 0B08.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] MrMD69:
The file is on ztedevice (link in thread) but i think (as some of other users) that this patch is only for Spain - don't know that for 100% but most ppl that can upadate it with OTA are located in Spain. Also I still get "network unavailable" when I trying to check update :( (location Poland, phone from UK). But you should can update from B06 to B08 as I can without any doubts via OTA.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] keesvl55:
Here the problem is solved, this morning the ota update worked en now he is installing B08.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] MrMD69:
As for 1.01.2017 update check start working for me - no more "network unavailable" just "up to date" at B08 a2017g.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] keesvl55:
I don't know but I can't notice a real difference yet, the few complenes I have about the phone are still there, no big issues but I like to see them changed.

On both phones i have now a problem with doing photographs with flashlight. in dark scenes, its a strong shimmer on the picture. The seal / adhesive around the camera is probably not quite tight.
