while surfing huawei china forums I found this custom Rom (http://cn.club.vmall.com/thread-2182114-1-1.html)
Did any one tried it .. and if yes what is your feedback about it ?
I haven't tried his newest ROM B008, but I have tried several of his older modded ROM for the X1. Issue I have is that I can't get google play store or google services to work. I've tried varies version of goole play store and google service framework, but never could get it to work. Split view is nice...but it isn't automatic, you have to manually select the windows; not as good as Samsung implementation, but better than nothing.

it is sweet, i m using it, only 2 points to note before flashing it:
1) u need to be already on the official B008 rom (otherwise u will get the write to cust error)
2) the bootloader of your X1 must be already unlocked (if not u cannot flash via ADB)
for those using non china 4G sim, u may also get android.phone.com FC-ing during initial boot, no amt of wiping DATA or Cache (of phone itself or apps e.g. contacts, phone etc the usual sugg when u google the problem) will work, in this instance, simply switch to airplane mode, proceed to connect the X1 to your wifi and go abt dong all the updates via Huawei app store, i m not sure which update cured the problem, but when I switch off airplane mode after that, the FC disappears .. YMMV

there is actually a very simple workaround for google services (other than google+, which there is another solution), and it doesnt involve 'hacking' or meddling with system files, rooting is not even needed (although KangVIP rom comes pre-rooted)
because even on china roms, Huawei has actually implemented the google framework within, all we need are the correct apps, simply launch the default Huawei Store (App Centre) and search for Google Play, GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter and GoogleContactsSynAdapter. After installation of Play, just launch it and install other Gapps u need from there.
Hi all,
Small point to note, somehow Google always translates the Chinese word "shua" literally as the verb "brush" but it actually means the verb "flash" in this context.
Note that translations of "shua ROM" will end up being "brush ROM" instead of "flash ROM".

Sorry, I really have no idea what I had done to result in the FCs disappearing. In fact, I wasnt expecting it to be.
My original intention was to play around with it and conduct some experimental tweaks since I was already on it before reflashing to get rid of the FCs.
One other thing that may have caused the FCs to go away is Xposed framework, you can try installing it.
The attached file below is an old version, install it then update to version 2.5.1 via the Xposed app; I also installed the App Settings module (version 1.8) for per app DPI setting. In fact, this is the tweak I wanted to try on EMUI 3.0 B008, it worked on EMUI 2.3 B010 and I was hoping for the same favorable result on EMUI 3.0. It did.
It was after the above that I re-enabled mobile/data and discovered to my surprise the FCs were gone.
YMMV.
Unfortunately I couldn't make it so I'm back to use EMUI 2.3 B010.
Thank you for suggest me some methods.
ps / I got sme results. with Australian Boost sim is worked but Japan Softbank and Singapore StarHub SIM is won't work.
@potatohead
Today I try fix again then suddenly your method is work for my phone. I carefully follow methods then work.
Thanks.

Hi Potoatohead, after I installed the Xposed apk, I couldn't install the framework. I just got a hang (4.4.2 Emui 3.0). Downloading the 2.5.1 update and trying to install that result in install failed. Any clues?
Hey guys! I just recently got my Mido and It has been updated to the latest Global Stable rom. I tried to unlock my bootloader but I'm getting the message that binding time is too short and I need to wait up to 68 hours. That's not a problem. I can wait. But I just have a one quick question though. Can I go and flash the latest Global Developer rom thru fastboot mode with the MiFlash Tool which has been updated to the Android version N without unlocking my bootloader? Or can I flash the latest Global Developer rom thru the Updater app with my bootloader still lock? I hope someone can help me out. I can wait for 68 hours, but I just can't sit and do nothing while waiting. Thank you guys!

Nope. To go to developer roms you need an unlocked BL.
Don't listen to them.
If you are on global stable you can flash global developer with a locked bootloader.
You should flash 7.2.16 first because you won't be able to flash never ones first. Download the recovery version and flash it through the updater app from within miui.
Be careful tho because this WILL wipe your internal storage.
After you installed 7.2.16 use the updater app to download the newest 7.7.6 rom and you are all set.

I can confirm that this is true. I've done it this way. The only drawback is that if you want to go back to global stable you will have to unlock the bootloader.

Hey mate! I really appreciate your info.. I tried to do this.. I was almost there, just a click away of being able to switch to global developer rom. But I accidentally clicked on Cancel instead of the Erase and Proceed to update button on the updater app. So I tried it again, but it doesn't give me that option anymore to flash it, the next thing I know it keeps saying I cannot upgrade from an unofficial rom package. I am so stupid. I missed my only chance of beinh able to switch to developer rom. I even tried doing a factory reset but still it's telling me the same error. Is there anyway I can get that option again? Coz at the first attemp, it even prompts me of decryption.. but now no more. Just can't update with 7.2.16 because it is from an unofficial rom package.

Mate please read my previous reply. You might be able to help me out. Apart from 7.2.16 is there any other rom that I can try to be able to switch to developer rom? I never imagine it's gonna be this hard. I had 4 xiaomi devices already before this. I can't believe Xiaomi is gonna make this very very hard as time goes by.
Clean cache of the updater app, close it and thentry again to flash the rom.
This is the one because it's based on Android 6. That's why you can flash it and then update to 7 via the updater app on the phone itself.
Hello from Australia,
I recently purchased the Redmi Note 4 (Global) and absolutely love it! After owning iPhone for the last 8 yrs I am finding it very refreshing. I am looking forward to being part of this Android community
My questions is this - I am very keen on rooting the device but have also found that there is a pending update to 8.5.4.0 (Miui) and 7.0 (Nougat). Will I still be able to root it after I update and if so where is the best guide for me to do this?
Many thanks

yes, you can root it after updating to 7.0. First unlock bootloder. Install twrp recovery. and then flash SuperSu zip.
Note-Dont forget to flash lazyflasher-no-verify-opt zip after flashing twrp or you would go into bootloop.

Do you think this is the right steps for me to follow? also, I have never flashed or tweaked an Android phone so don't know how to do the flashing of lazyflasher-no-verify-opt zip. I don't see that in the steps. How exactly do I do that? Do you have a link?

steps given in the guide are almost correct.First unlock bootloader which is the biggest hassle in whole process. Probably you wont be able unlock bootloader in first few tries as mi unlock tool will probably stuck at 99% and show error "account not binded to device".You can wait a few days and try again but i dont think that will work. To solve this problem what i did was-
download miui developer rom version 7.2.16 link-http://bigota.d.miui.com/7.2.16/miui_HMNote4XGlobal_7.2.16_e6eed016d8_6.0.zip
Now go to updater app choose downloaded zip as update package. Now updater would start decrypting it and your phone will be updated to developer rom. Now when on developer rom go to updater app and there will be an ota for latest version, update.Now when on latest developer version try to unlock again using mi unlock tool. I dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me.
Now your bootloader is unlocked, go to mido section in xda forums and download twrp for redmi note 4. To flash twrp recovery, there are many ways. process given in your guide may also work.But what I did was downloaded "mini flasher" link-"https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=25193&task=get" install mini flasher.choose install twrp, browse to the recovery image you downloaded and it will automatically flash it and reboot your phone to recovery.
Now when your phone is in recovery mode coose 'install'
choose the lazyflasher zip file you earlier downloaded. now reboot. again go to recovery install SuperSu zip file(link given your guide) reboot. your phone will probably bootloop one time but dont worry it is fine. now when your phone reboots it is rooted.
Well I sucessfully updated the phone to Nougat and it was very easy.
Now I have tried to unlock the bootloader but keep getting this message:
您所在的IP申请次数超标
I have googled it and it says I have tried too many times from my IP address. But I haven't - this was the first time. I have tried 3 times, with the same result.
Does anyone know how to get around this problem?
Thanks
The nougat update eats to much ram I got only 1.3 GB free ram
You could try Miui 9 beta channel after miui 8.5 update without unlocking or rooting. Just had to download the miui 9 recovery rom package. Place it in folder named downloaded-rom. Backup your imp data before proceeding. Goto the updater app or settings about, tap three dot menu. Choose update and select the downloaded file. It will erase all your data and update to miui 9.
They release updates weekly. And battery backup is outstanding.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73086754&postcount=124
Anyone able to help with this? I have read it is a common issue for it to incorrectly say you have had too many attempts but not really any conclusive answer as to how to get around the problem.
I am really keen on unlocking my bootloader. Thanks in advance.
I dont have it very clear, do I have to do testpoint in order to unlock my bootloader in 9.2.6.0 Global Stable?
Now, you don't need testing point method to unlock bootloader.
You will need to unlock here:
http://en.miui.com/unlock/
It might be needed an Chinese VPN to do it
It takes 360 hours.
And then you can flash global rom. Be sure to keep bootloader unlocked or else the phone will need the testpoint method to work again.
I advise you to read a little bit on MIUI foruns before advancing.
I'm waiting to unlock my own phone, but so far I've managed to work with Chinese Rom in English, after gaps installation.
Is it possible to replace the recovery.img file in the ROM ZIP with TWRP? ie. rename TWRP to recovery.img, so that when it's flashed, you get TWRP with a locked bootloader?
I know this approach was used on older Xiaomi phones, but I'm not sure if it can be used with any model.

i'm kinda guessing, but if you push 'tempered' img in locked bootloader most likely it will bootloop.
anyway, how you get twrp without unlocking bootloader?
same situation for mine, come with 9.2.6.0 Global Stable. What I had done so far:
1. already received SMS for unlock permission
2. proceed to bind device & account, but stuck here, I got 86006 error.
Few methods tried but still failed:
1. tried many VPN for China, failed.
2. tried xiamitool to flash development or China ROM, failed because older version not allow, & bootloader unlocked are required.
I try to avoid test point, please help me. anyone know when MIUI 10 development will available to download?

There are only a few VPN apps that work with binding the account to the phone. Xiaomi makes it harder than it should be. I tried many apps on my new Mi Note 3 last night and finally found one that worked. It was Solo VPN.
You can also use PlexVPN or Turbo VPN up to v1.3 (can be downloaded from this thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/solution-error-10008-unlocking-t3584341)

Did you use the VPN Turbo APK from the thread I linked to? I've used Plex and Solo successfully this week. Choose the Shanghai server in Plex if it's available. Otherwise, try China and Hong Kong in those apps.
Edit: Note that you'll need to log out of your Mi account before connecting to the VPN and then try adding it from the developer options menu again.
Does the error message mention "API"? If not, the VPN might not be your only problem.

You need to wait 360 hours after you've bound the account to the phone, yes. It's 72 hours for older models and 360 for new models. There's no way around it. However, if you're receiving that message when you run the unlocking program, it sounds like your phone is already linked to your Mi account.

If you have the Chinese firmware, then download the DNS Changer program https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.burakgon.dnschanger&hl=en)
You launch it and you select custom DNS. As the first dns you register 61.155.18.36, and the second 123.131.131.182 and you click start.

Hello guys, my device has a locked bootloader so my flashing options are limited. I wanted to upgrade to Android 9 and I think I may have flashed a beta wrong firmware (dload method) meant for the WiFi only version. Although my device boots normally and looks like its upgraded to Android Pie, the play store does not have a lot of apps I want to use especially Netflix does not work.
I've been trying to flash the stock firmware using the force dload update method for the past two days but nothing works, it just fails. I've downloaded and tried like 10 different firmwares but nothing is recognised.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I have no idea but.. did you ever try "HiSuite"? Well for my P30 Pro phone I downgraded using it. That was from Beta 10 to 9. When Beta 10 had just came out.

Yeah, Hisuite didn't work. Looking at the build number, It seems to be the M5 Pro firmware but the very first version of Android 9. It seems some people had the issue of Google Play not being certified which was resolved with subsequent updates. None of the updates I tried has applied without an unlocked bootloader.
However, the solution I came with was to transfer my apps from my phone to it using phone clone app, so at least I have all the apps and Netflix works. Play store is still showing as uncertified.
