Hello. New user here. Bought from lazada. My unit come with miui v 7.1.1.0 with bloatware everywhere. Try to root and ended with boot loop after try to replace kingroot with supersu.

Long story short, able to boot to download mode, install miflash tool and other necessary driver and cerrently on v7.1.2.0 eu stable. Play store ready and no chinese bloatware.

I would recommend others to try.

miflash tool and drivers: link
miui v7.1.2.0 eu stable: link

Next, wait and see how the battery perform.

Battery update: This is madness!

14h 30m on battery
5h 20m screen on time
currently at 43% remaining

i need to charge the phone now. can't wait for low battery. i will update the performance for the weekend. hopefully i dont have to charge at home.

> 5h screen on time is always good

Pardon me. It is a rom made by xiaomi.eu from this forum.


Battery performance update:
On battery: 1d 1h 50m
SOT: 4h 40m
Remaining: 40%

Flash using the miflash tool.

Also, i want to report that this rom (and other miui 7 too i believe) suffer from wifi sleep bug, which make gcm not working properly, and causing delayed notification for whatsapp, telegram and other app that use gcm. Hope this can be fixed soon.

Battery performance over the weekend:





Battery remaining 5%. I would say it is damn impressive. I believe it can lasts up to 2 days if i have less screen on time.

Sorry. Just read this. Great that you've successfully flash the rom. Yes, the trickiest part is to install the required driver correctly. Second trickiest is to get to boot option menu!

haha...

Crappy rom, and more users start learning how to flash.

For me, the important step is to ensure all driver are peoperly installed, be it 32bit or 64bit. Open device manager and check no device have ! mark. Disable windows driver signature verification is a good practice.

I mean, do you previously have an android which lasts 1d+ with >5 hours sot? This is amazing.

For unknown reason, my rom have the slim_ap_daemon problem, which drains the battery. The file is located at /vendor/bin folder. Ive rename the file and will see if the problem persist.

i'm using 7.1.2(LHPCNCK) MIUI by xiaomi.eu 7.1 stable
upon reading, this is related to location service (weather, waze)

hmmm... have you try this:
- enter the boot menu (the one with fastboot, download, power off, etc)
- connect to pc, if there is driver installation, let it complete. verify at device manage, no ! mark
- tap on download, screen will be blank. check if windows detect any new device driver installation. let it complete. verify at device manager.

it happen to me (boot loop) and windows only detect new device when i enter download mode.

Rom problem perhaps?

Otg works for me

hi. any of you suffer from bad ram management that cause no notification / delayed notification of whatsapp, telegram, etc? bad memory management + power saving method + app auto restart permission in miui is just not optimized.

as other forumer mentioned, you must have got the tempered rom. you will need to flash the official rom (or custom rom if you want). if you are a normal consumer, this will be a little bit of hard work. if you are willing to take time and learn, this will be interesting.
