Hello all
Recently I have purchased a Note 4 Nikel which arrived with MIUI 8.2 Global As I am quite restless, very quickly requested the unlock of the bootloader and flashed TWRP.
Now I would like to flash some custom ROM, but I do like to have a “safe” place to return. Already have a nandroid image of my “unlocked” MIUI 8.2 with system, data, nvram, boot and recovery, but a Little bit concerned about not beig able to, at least come to this if things goes wrong.
I have tried to flash a MIUI oficial upgrade (to 8.5.Idonotremember) with no sucess, global and chinese versions. It says has not been able to flash for “other reason”. Wonder if
• I am using the right roms (http://en.miui.com/download-309.html)
• Wont be able to flash anything coming from Xiaomy being unlocked
• I can relock
• There are Stocks MIUI for the nickel flashable using TWRP
If any of you could solve my doubts, I would be grateful.
Also if you have any recomendation for custom ROMS. Would be very welcome
Regards and thank you!!!
Hello guys! Lets test if anybody still here...)
What is latest fully functional TWRP recovery for Lollipop 5.1.1 stock firmware, where to get it and in what partition do I need to flash it?
Does installing some zips or firmwares on different roms needs supported recovery version? If so, please tell what ROMs need what recovery versions.
I've seen even TWRP 3.1.1 build but have concerns in its functionality and stability. Is it working normal?
Last, wanted to say thanks for all developers that made us using such a great device for so long period of time.
Hope people are still subscribed to this forums.
That TWRP 3.1.1 was never fixed as you can read in the thread.
First flash latest .236 stock rom with flashtool if you have not done this before.
And then you flash this recovery in fastboot:

You never need to touch the recovery again once you flashed this recovery all roms from kitkat and up works with this one.
I was on MIUI 10 Global Beta which seemed to be slow. So i flashed the DotOS v2.5 which is an Oreo 8.1.0. Treble Status = Supported. After using a month i felt that the battery drains a lot quicker in this rom. I badly want to revert back to MIUI 9. I am on Orange fox 3.2.3 recovery. Will flashing the MIUI 9 hard brick my phone? Its a noob questions. Please answer me only if you have tried.
Worked for me

Read point #3 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76885728&postcount=3
Off course you can, but be advised the custom twrp will be replaced by stick recovery
Use Fastboot method and your phone will be new and clean .
But you can try other Custom Roms, there a lot of Roms out there.
Just check for bugs and features accordingly
Don't flash any recovery, just install the rom from fastboot, everything will be stock after that.
Of course you can revert back. No way you can hard brick your device if it's a clean flash be it MiUi or aosp. If you listen to a ROM tester's advice I recommend you to flash latest Orange Fox recovery then Xiaomi EU ROM which are always good, trustable and bloatware free. They're stable and up to date. I'm highly against stock MiUi ROMs for several reasons for example Chinese or Google bloatware, lots of them according to which MiUi ROM you flash (Global or China).
Hey guys.
I have unlocked my phone and rooted it with orangefox and magisk.
Now I want miui dialer and messages app.I have heard that indian rom have those apps.
I want to ask if I can flash Indian rom (recovery rom) on my device using orangefox recovery?
Or i have to use fastboot rom only?
Thanks
now you can install almost any ROM on your phone as long as it is in zip format. Indian is for recovery there is . unfortunately you did not write what kind of phone you have (since the theme is combined for several devices).
pay attention also to xiaomi.eu.
