[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] thehearty:
Presently if you read max of the posts in major of the forums, you will find out there are three versions of ROM majorly (removing Chinese dev from the list as many don't seem to be on this) - If you are buying the phone from a reseller and not directly from xiaomi, mostly you will end up with Vendor ROM

1) Vendor ROM global (8.08.0 something version) which comes with very less bloatware and Google play services. Sometimes people said their bootloader was unlocked and for some its not. (mine was locked, so had to apply for unlock - It took 3 days to get the approval).

PLEASE NOTE THAT MANY TIMES THIS VENDOR ROM HAS A "NOTES APP" WITH TROJAN ON IT. MALWARE BYTES DETECTS THIS. HENCE I DECIDED TO GET OFF IT.

2) Chinese stable ROM - The official miui ROM. It has OTA updates but comes with bloatware and quite cumbersome to use for a non Chinese person like me or thats what I felt. If you really want to use Chinese stable (and still need google apps) there is a guide which is available some where in one of the forums, right now can't get hold of it somehow.

3) EU ROM (weekly updates - I believe to be done manually) - This one is so far the best I have used and very less bloatware (there is "Qunar travel" and one Chinese app that came with it. I simply uninstalled them blindly). Comes with google play services and you can download the rest from google store.

My journey so far is Vendor ROM --> Chinese Stable --> EU ROM (Non-root)

Why i didn't go directly from Vendor ROM to EU ROM is because

1) some of the users had issues with TWRP's touch non-responsiveness.

2) I want to see what is there on Chinese Stable before going to EU ROM, so that I can do a comparison.

For Vendor ROM to Chinese Stable use the guide below (by [MENTION=4736247]satishp[/MENTION])

https://xdaforums.com/mi-mix/how-to/kindly-help-flashing-to-china-stable-t3528652

For Chinese Stable (or if you want to try from Vendor ROM directly to EU ROM) to EU ROM use the guide below (by [MENTION=4233496]underlines[/MENTION])

https://xdaforums.com/mi-mix/how-to/guide-flash-global-china-rom-root-gapps-t3510592

Following the steps exactly in the above two guides, I was able to install EU ROM without any issues.

When you enable developer options on your phone and enable USB debugging, then I believe when you connect your phone to laptop/desktop it should connect using MTP and should be seen as device. So I guess you can copy the zip before hand on to the phone.

All the guides mention that whenever you want to install the EU ROM without root, the dm-verity is compulsory to flash before reboot.

Hope this helps!!. Enjoy your MIX.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] SantinoInc:
Wow, thank you so much for that very thorough answer! I will be getting the phone tomorrow and my goal will be to get the EU Rom on my phone with TWRP and Xposed.

One more small question. So if I happen to get the touch screen freeze (in TWRP or after system reboot) how do you recover from this situation?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] thehearty:
I believe you have to go to Chinese Stable then using MiFlash or install one more version of TWRP which is compatible with Chinese ROM and then other steps. (one of the guides mentions these too)

But my suggestion is simply follow the steps in both the guides, go to chinese stable and then to EU ROM. Its worth the 15 min extra effort as surely i can tell this will not have problems and I believe you can definitely got to root/xposed too finally.

There is a small typo in my previous answer (I corrected it now). Sincere apologies for the same.

Dm-verity is not needed if you are going to root. If you flash to EU ROM and don't want root, then install dm-verity. This is as per the guide mentioned in my last answer.

Hope this helps.
[Security Discussion] facepalm5:
I accidentally visited a potentially malicious site. The visit occurred with Firefox 47 under android 4.4.4 (rooted).

aerolineas argentinas.frèe.com (remove space to access)

When I got to a desktop, I decided to view the source and see if there was anything potentially harmful going on. I don't speak javascript, but I read through the main file and found little more than spam collection.

However, when I downloaded one of the linked files,

aerolineas argentinas.com-voucher.net/en/assets/js/custom.min.js (remove space to access)

I put the most worrying file here:

wikisend.com/download/179542/3ruqw.js

I noticed some extremely long calls to decodeURIcomponent, and other odd manipulations that I don't know how to analyze. Should I be worried that my phone is now infected with some virus?

Submit the file you have suspicions about also.

In my experience domains that have the com in the place your links do are suspicious as they are trying to hide their true domain by putting well known domain name before the dot i.e. aerolineas argentinas.com when their real domain is w w w.com-voucher.net , though this particular one could be legit, I don't know, but it raises my suspicions as soon as I see this sort of thing.

Also if you are still concerned monitor activity with a firewall app (probably easiest), packet capture app or via ADB

I'm having issues trying to upgrade my firmware.

The beta hands had a weird firmware number hence not upgrading and phone model simply says l29.

I also have no keypad on phone it's voice only and hence finding it impossible to log into google store and get a new keyboard.

I tried to flash via srk tool a newer 7.0 firmware but it didn't take.

Also I don't have twrp as a bootloader so I can't root phone.

Will any firmware go directly over the beta version either emui 4.1 or 5.0
[Mate 8 General] RINAS khouja:
You need to flash data.zip file for your phone after installing nougat dierectly noe u need to rollback to emui 4.1 and all the steps again and install data zip and everything will be fixed
[Mate 8 General] gros31:
It won't let me roll back well the version I tried did t work. I'm stuck on a beta with only voice keypad.

Model number is displayed as nxt-l29

Build number nrd90m test-keys.

No version I've tried seems to work.
[Mate 8 General] amxandy:
You can download a keyboard APK file and install it from your SD card.

Just noticed in the screen shot that SELinux status is set to permissive mode

Is this default for this ROM?
[Wileyfox Storm] PS-DEV:
Yes , but you can change to enforcing by Kernel Adiutor.

This is part of settings within ROM, not an external app?

No , in the kernel aduitor app ,,, in Misc controls section.

[Shield Tablet General] Bryandu13:
Nice ! This tablet is the first Android device to receive 4 major official Android updates ! 4.4 KitKat to 7.0 Nougat. Long life to NVIDIA !!
[Shield Tablet General] Nintonito:
Actually it's the second. Galaxy S3 LTE went from 4.0 to 4.4. And if it wanna get even more picky the Xiaomi Mi3 went from 4.3 to 6.0, along with the nexus 7 2013. Which would make it the fourth.
[Shield Tablet General] skooter32:
Plus the k1 is younger than the og shield
[Shield Tablet General] Bryandu13:
Nexus 7 was realesed under 4.3 ?
[Shield Tablet General] Fidelator:
I'd certainly buy Nvidia again, they offer great driver support and the absolute best software update support, they have outclassed Google as they seem to be constantly trying to become Apple, forcing support limits on OEMs similar to what happened to the Z3 Nougat update
[Shield Tablet General] mirrin:
Yes but the k1 is technically the same tablet with no stylus and no included charger. Chances are when the k1 gets 7 so will the og pyro tablets well at least the replacement tablets will
[Shield Tablet General] suhridkhan:
I really hoped they would announce a new shield tablet, when they announced those new shield tvs....
[Shield Tablet General] mattiascibien:
It seems that Nvidia is not going to make tablets anymore, probably because they are producing the Nintendo Switch Hardware (which has capabilities similar to a gaming tablet). Not sure where I read this anyway.
[Shield Tablet General] seh6183:
It seems like they are taking a year off to work on the Switch (and they probably signed something that says they won't compete). The hardware inside the current Shield Tablet is so powerful it doesn't need a refresh anyway.
[Shield Tablet General] ermacwins:
Well I would of liked an upgrade with an X1 or better with 4gb ram
[Shield Tablet General] Bryandu13:
I contacted NVIDIA support and they said Nougat deployment may coming in some months...
[Shield Tablet General] seh6183:
True. And new buttons and an amoled screen lol
[Shield Tablet General] liam_davenport:
X1 Is a beast My Pixel C outperforms any smartphone I own in the performance department
[Shield Tablet General] seh6183:
It's not all peaches and cream though, there are compatibility issues with a lot of apps, some don't run right or at all. Also some titles require you to re buy them for the x1 even though you own it already.
[P3600 ROM Development] willowxda:
Hi,

It seems to me that GPS takes a long time to fix for non-official roms, as compared to using official roms? It is just a coincidence?
[P3600 ROM Development] tnyynt:
Yes.

I have very good cold and hot TTFs.

It might depend on location, software, device movement.
[P3600 ROM Development] ww2250:
don't quite think so. At least I don't think the GPS chips are smart enough to distinguish if your flash is official or not.

gps are driven by drivers - unless a rom chef knows how to write one, any unofficially cooked rom contains official drivers.

one thing though is the radio rom that might have been included in some unofficial flash packages. that's the hardware firmware that actually has impact on the TTFF.
[P3600 ROM Development] Top_Gun:
Did you consider that the first fix after any flash will take a very long time?

After that, things improve dramatically. It's always best to reopen the GPS application where you closed it, so the GPS-receiver will not waste any time with the determination of time and ephemerides, and to remain immobile until the fix has been achieved. This way I get fixes below 30s, while a fix in the driving car might take 2-3 minutes.

Since the position and number of visible stars changes, GPS conditions vary over the day, even if you remain at the same position. This causes time differences for the fix as well.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbaracki:
yes.

I tried to flash supersu from twrp and since then I'm stuck in bootloader (couldn't unlock bootloader due to fastboot not seeing the phone). I still can get to recovery, but can't boot up the system.

Alcatel's Mobile Upgrade Q doesn't work for me either (tried on 2 different PC's).

I hope restoring clean non-rooted boot/system will help, if somebody can share the backup files.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cryonics:
Which Mobile Upgrade Q are you using? Try to use 5.0.3 version. Tried both on my 64bit Windows 10 and 7 for my 5051x Optus locked phone. But you need to manually put your phone to download mode (while your phone completely off, press all volume up + volume down + power), then plug in your phone, start the program and follow the prompt.

Had to reflash my phone numerous time, because supersu seems to brick the phone, while kingroot lost its root every reboot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbaracki:
which driver do you have installed? (what shows up in device manager?) When the phone is in download mode, my PC doesn't detect it. after several seconds the phone exits download mode, and then gets detected, but it doesn't auto-install any driver, so I have to manually choose something.

Still, if someone could send me full backup from TWRP, I could try to restore it on the phone and get it working this way.
