Hey guys, I'm actually running official 32.2.A.0.305 build, downloaded using XperiFirm. I use my carrier build (Orange FR).
My phone is a big mess (old systemless root, old magisk build, ...), so I plan to update to make a little cleaning.
For now, my carrier (Orange F) only provides 32.2.A.5.11-R14C ( https://xpericheck.com/device/E5823 ).
There is another french build, called "Customized FR", with firmware 32.3.A.0.376-R3D.
So, my questions are:
- Is it better to wait an update from my carrier, or the Customized FR build will be fine?
- If I update to Android N, is this tutorial usable to grant root access? (I know there is no xposed for Android N yet, but I can live without it, as GravityBox is the only module I really need)
Thanks
Bump
I found this and this.
Is it better to use last Androplus kernel or stock "modified" kernel?
Thanks
Hi, I've updated to 32.3.A.0.376-R3D Customized FR, and it's working like a charm. Installed AndroPlus Kernel, and a TWRP build found on XDA.
Solved.

Hi everybody,
I have been trying to install the official MM Android Concept version on my Z5C for a while now, and I can't make it work. I am using the installer found here (I had to use the Windows version on a PC, since the Mac version keeps having some network problems).
The Android Concept Installer sees my Z5C, tells me that there is some Android Concept software available, but when I try to install it, I get the following error: "Firmware version ID not found".
I am using the stock ROM (never unlocked my bootloader). I have tried first installing the .185 German and Swiss customizations before trying to flash the Android Concept ROM, but it does not help (I have a Swiss Z5C, model number E5823)...
Did anybody manage to install it? If yes, could anybody post a FTF file, so that we can flash it with flashtool?
Thanks a lot
That would be because the concept firmware isn't compatible with the Z5...
Ok, thanks... I thought I had read it was supported, it indeed does not seem to be
Hi guys,
Long time Android user here - I've recently sold my Blackberry Priv and have picked up a Redmi 3. I'm struggling to wrap my head around the ROM terminology for this device.
- I am based in the UK, I can see in my device settings that I am on a 'Global' ROM
- I can see that there is a 7.3 version of miui available for this device, but cant find a reliable download source (currently running 7.2.7.0.0 - LHPCNDB)
- Will Miui 8 be released for this device (Global?)
- If I choose to flash the device with a Chinese version, what will the differences in the software be?
- The BL unlocking processes confuses me - do I literally need to send a request to Xiaomi for this to be done or can I do it via a tool?
I think this is all for now - I'd appreciate some help clearing up the above questions.

There is no official global rom for this device at the moment. Your rom seems to be a cooked room by the seller.
Official rom comes with English and Chinese only (and a lot of Chinese useless apps)
My suggest is to flash official developer rom (you need the developer rom to unlock bootloader), unlock bootloader (yes you need to apply for it to Xiaomi). Once unlocked, install twrp and a stable unofficial eu rom (this one has no OTA but is clean off Chinese apps).
If you have the no-pro version, you can also try the CM12 from this forum. It seems to be a very good rom.

You should apply to unlock your bootloader first; just make a Mi Account and go through the process. You might have to wait a few days (I waited 6). Some good tutorials are available on the MIUI forums or here on XDA.
After you've unlocked the bootlader, the next step is to flash a custom recovery such as TWRP (also on XDA), then a custom ROM of your choice. I reccommend installing xiaomi.eu if you live in Europe for the good localizations. Otherwise you can install the Chinese Stable / Dev ROM at your choosing; it has English language but some of the Chinese apps might annoy you. MIUI8 has been released for the Chinese developer ROM, and therefore the xiaomi.eu custom ROM which uses it as base. A CM 12.1 build is also available on XDA if you're into that, although it has some bugs regarding the camera, fingerprint sensor, and GPS.
Hello everyone,
When you install a new rom via cwm you do not change the version of android even if in the settings you can find 5.0.2 for example, the version of android will staythe same, based on the original version of the firmware i'ts just the theme and applications that change to optimize the device, am I right?
And are there any customs firmwares that really change the version of android to flash with odin for example ?

Though CWM is a good bootloader, CWM hasn't been getting the attention nor being updated by the Dev(s).
More and more individuals are turning to TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) as the preferred bootloader. They keep it up to date and provide decent support. It provides allot less problems that do arise within CWM. If you want, the link is https://twrp.me/
Just filling you in with what I've been seeing.
Peace and Love!

Hi,
I'm running an old build (32.3.A.0.376) with Androplus v43 kernel. I also have Magisk (v16.0).
Last update was like a year ago, so I plan to update and take a fresh start. But I don't know if it's better for me to update to use :
- an official build (32.4.A.1.54_R5E)
- a custom ROM (Resurection Remix, ...)
I also found some new kernel exists (GreenKernel for example), but I don't know wich one should I take.
I found this tutorial for official ROM (Pictorial Guide: E58xx Android 7.1.2+ [Root + Recovery + Magisk + DRM + SafetyNet]).
There are also some older tutorial (like this one, this one and this one)
→ So, what's best at the moment? Using a custom ROM? (then which one?) Stay on Sony official ROM?
Which tutorial should I follow?
Thanks a lot !
Bump!
Thanks
Hi everyone, 1 week ago I've update mine lg g5 (H850) to Oreo after I've unlooked the bootloader and rooted it. With Magisk I've installed Viper, I've also flashed the mk2000 kernel. Now looking around the functions I see that aren't possibilities to use the flashlight. The shortcut doesn't work and in the camera doesn't show it. Anyone know any solution?
Sorry for my English
Magisk breaks flashlight, at least latest version of magisk available when official Oreo rolled out. I'm using supersu for the time being.
With mk2000 kernel installed properly flash works for me!
Check the kernel version in software information. If you have version info inside, then mk2000 wasn't properly flashed. Mine shows Kernel Version "Unavailable" after successful mk2000 flash.
You should first flash Magisk and then MK2000. Did you do the opposite?
Hello,
just flash mk2000 kernel again.
I solved today by updating the mk2000 kernel to v1.1.
thank you guys
