yes. downgraded to v14 too just now. need to fastboot flash to v4.3 (CN MIUI) via miflash before i could proceed to update MY rom.

in v18:
readme app doesn't work - keep loading and saying cannot download content

only has zhuyin pre-installed as default chinese input, not like v14, u hv 4 options to choose from. (swiftkey, pinyin, google keyboard and etc)

when reset phones, sometimes google app missing (why is this so), no internet browser, no google app, no mi market... this is crazy. but i saw kuaipan or etc.

seriously messed up the phone after updated to v18, available memory seem reduced to 1060MB compare to v14 which is about 1280MB

"Get stable fastboot CN JB v14 rom from here
http://en.miui.com/thread-14641-1-1.html"

Downloaded the file, but i couldn't get it installed. It has error.

do a wipe all in ur miRecovery, then download miFlash, boot your phone to fastboot mode (volume down + power) and flash from your PC via miFlash, browsing the downloaded rom folder (unzipped .tgz file to a folder)

seriously, why so many problems leh xiaomi?

i just passed the phone to my dad (downgraded to v14, due to v18 issues)... now v22 (i suppose it will pushes via OTA) oso got issues. how u expect my old folk dealing with all these firmware glitches?

haiyo... my personal experience when i upgrade and downgrade to v14->v18->v14.. i think something really not going well with their firmware updater. same recovery method used, but i experienced 2 different outcome. hang at boot screen, gapps all gone (mine purchase via xiaomi malaysia) and etc. end up no choice but to flash the rom via miflash thru a pc.

really hope xiaomi can buck up on the patches release process. i don't face this with sxmsung, sxny, htx nor 1+1

I guess sometimes it depends on luck. Some got problem, some are not. In order to get a piece of mind, my suggestion is to stick to the stock rom, ignore those updates. Stock rom would be enough for your daily use. I know it sounds silly to not to upgrade the firmware, but at least it saves you from the trouble of getting those bad results. Of course, the downside is you will not be able to enjoy the new features.

What problems ?? I upgrade from V14 to V18 now V22 also didn't face any serious problems, those so call problem maybe for me is not serious problem & can be easily solve by some walk around method, Who says Samsung & Sony no problem, I know many also got hell of of problem after upgrading firmware in their Samsung & Sony including some very serious problem cannot be solved like battery drain & constant hang, my current Samsung Mega 6.3 KK update been halted as too much problem after KK update in some country, some Samsung model I get never get update still run on JB 4.2.1 since launch, My friend Sony also had lots of problem after update.

At lease Xiaomi give 3 major update after less than 3 months ownership, many Samsung model  at similar or doubled the price also never get a single update since launched a year ago.

As you should well aware that, xiaomi is doing a very different approach on their after sales service, not like the rest, ur phone got anything u can throw back direct to the retailer u purchased from.

positive view, yes 3 majors update woow. superb!
negative view, oh no... 2 majors updates (+1 is JB to KK update) within 3 months and these were major bug fixes.

idk, i think xiaomi is the only company offer monthly stable updates (correct me if i'm wrong). their nightly (dev rom) is weekly basis. still, if updates are bug fixes with no issues... it is always a welcome.

Well bro, if that's the case, there's a "hardcore" way to disable the OTA function, which is, delete the update apk. But you will need to root the phone first. Just a little suggestion. smile.gif

yes, CM11 is very smooth. i'm using 1+1 now... extremely customisable. but at times, i experiencing short lag when intensive graphics running. and i don't experience this with my m8, despite m8 is lacking 1GB RAM.

You need some knowledge to operate a smartphone efficiently, especially Android. If you want less hassle, then should go for Apple. Stock rom normally come with a lot of apps that you may not need it and consume resources and battery. That is why people go for dev rom or root so that you can customise to suite your use.

just my unbias experience with xiaomi. the OTA push should be tested x N times before releasing. mind you, everything was push via OTA, no manual interaction to update the ROM. and after update and reboot, Xiaomi Read me app. cannot be loaded, google play store missing (basically entire google apps.. gone), call drops n etc.

watever, what i'm trying to say, this is a commercial product for consumer, frequent OTA updates on bug fix is welcomed, minor glitches are okay too. but not to the extend it impacts the standard functionality of the smartphone itself loh.
