From Hydrogen to Oxygen - OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A

Hi fellas.
I bought a second hand oneplus but it came with Hydrogen (it's the Chinese version). I have searched ways to flash a international rom (oxígen), but seems not doable. I downloaded the latest oxígen version and tried doing a manual update but it says that since my os version is higher, it cannot downgrade an older rom.
Do you know any workaround? Just want to get rid of all the Chinese bloatware and have a clean rom.

To change to oxygen from hydrogen make sure the oxygen build is newer than the hydrogen rom you are running. (The updater will not install an older build dates firmware) Ex don't update hydrogen rom then when the full update zip for ixgen is up on oxygen updater app. Download then put the zip in the root of sdcard storage. Navigate to settings update press the 3 dot menu button in the corner then select local update pick the zip you downloaded it will flash the oxygen rom if it fails the first time repeat the process in the settings updater app. If you want it on both slots after it installs and reboots repeat the process again
I have an hd1910 running oxygen os
The other option is to use the msm tool for international varient, but I did not change that way

How to get rid of bloatware on Xiaomi Redmi Note 2

Hi,
I would like to start a new thread - How to get rid of bloatware on Xiaomi Redmi Note 2.
I bought RMN2 at Geekbuying.com and its MIUI is full of bloatware.
When opening a new tab in chrome browser sometimes a second/additional tab opens with new page.
e.g. (global.ymtracking.com/trace?offer_id=106438&aff_id=27742
d2c5yjc1pv3tab.cloundfront.net/apk/10848.apk1 )
redirecting to
phonebooster_546227637488bc7fd512af8a71adab1e.apk
which has ANDROID/Levida.A.Gen Add Ware Virus
I have also observed that some new apps were installed in background.
It is downloading 20150305011920.apk, 20151013045927.apk, 20141230064828.apk and installing Cleanmaster, APUS, UC Mini.
Android Version: 5.0.2 LRX22G
MIUI Version: 66.77.33.00(LHMCNCH) | Stable
How can I get rid of the bloatware?
a) flashing a new MIUI Version - please post a link to an eu version
b) removing infected apps?
I installed the beta miui 7 eu rom. It is great. Just changed the name and used update.
Search the forums for more info.

But 5.10.16 has a battery drain. I turned back to 5.10.8.
For those of us less than expert.........
I bought 2 of these Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Smartphones. Malware, bloatware, battery sucking crap all preloaded and reloaded if I am lucky enough to uninstall it. I have flashed update ROMs from Ulefone and iOcean but this Miui ROM process may be over my head. You guys know of a tutorial site where they step through the process for newbies like me? (I need English, Google, Play Store, etc) thanks, dac

lol this was my first xiaomi phone and i noob even did the miui v7 update, was easy.
just need to research a little to not get confused with terms etc lol:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63454246&postcount=10
TRY " smiui " in google search.
OR go http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/development/rom-smiui-rom-kitchen-major-xiaomi-t3225567
Customise to get rid of most xiaomi-ware!
Good luck.
My screen is going double layered when it is cold and when i keep using it,it goes hot and goes all ok again
Noob question: do I download the weekly release ROM and rename it to "update.zip"? Is it that simple? And do I use the factory Mi Recovery to flash the updated rom? Where do I save the file? Into the "download" folder or just into the main internal storage?
Thank you!

The rom is not the real miui rom to my knowledge, you should change to the official rom
Hi everyone. I think bought a cooked phone to (seller echoice2016 on amazon.de, on the bill it said etotalk.com). I also experienced random opening of different tracking websites and I started thinking - I have a credit card attached to my google account and these ****ers could easily install keylogger.
So, ASAP I need to reflash something else. Now, I can't access recovery, all I see is this:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzuJV8WP2qMyNUFvSUhja2t0b0k/view?usp=sharing
Any hints, please? I'd also appreciate which ROM to use. I'd like a stable as stock as possible ROM with gapps but without MIUI email, calendar and other nonsense, because I want to use my own aps.
Thanks in advance!
RMN2 bloatware
Hi all
Complete noobie here
Just bought a RMN2 prime (2gb+32gb) which is currently running 5.0.2 LRX22G on MIUI 66.77.55.00(LHMCNCH) | Stable
I am getting so much bloatware and viruses, I need to change the OS.
Should I just download the Hermes (xiaomi.eu_multi_hermes_V7.0.6.0.LHMCNCI_v7-5.0.zip)
rename it as "update.zip"
load it onto my phone
restart (volume up + power)
Wipe
install?
... or is it more complex than that
Any help gratefully received

You can do this, bug after you will be unable to update. So, first install the xiaomi.eu developer rom
Then with flashify install the TWRP Recovery (check on xiaomi.eu the download, it's on the download page, scroll down). Then go to recovery and install the stable rom. After do a wipe data and cache.
You xan do the next updates with TWRP.
If you don't install the developer rom before you can't install the TWRP so you have to install a china developer, install the TWRP, install the update and do a wipe data.

Partner has just got the redmi 2 (8gig version) and has bloatware. can freeze it using titanium and all is well but would prefer a better rom(stock) what is the latest rom and where do we get it from?
Go to xiaomi.eu and go to the weekly ROM section
hi guys i'm a old school android geek that haven't mixed with android phones in some years now so consider me a noob and i have the Redmi note 2 prime 32gb version with spyware in it version miui 70 stable 7.0.99.99 LHFNYUN in android version 5.0.2 LRX22G.
and i wish someone to help me and give me detailed instructions to which rom to download and also how to flash and i need gapps to so please keep that in mind and i'm greatfull to the person that helps me.
i used the windroid program to install TWRP and superSU now so i need to look for a stable rom now to flash if you have any tips please tag me
but i can't say it was easy to use the windroid program to do it i needed the xiaomi pc suit drivers to be able to flash the stuff and i hope this helps other redmi note 2 pro users out there to root.
I'll post my experience with phone and the roms I tried.
I bought it from merimobiles and it came with plenty of Chinese apps, overall pretty annoying... So I installed the development version of miui 7 (china version). Less bloat, but still the ui was a bit laggy sometimes, battery ok. After awhile battery started to drain much quicker, charging was slow and it got warm during usage (browsing).
Then I installed the CM12.1 build 5 from needrom (cyanogenmod-3) There's a thread going on about it.
I am very happy with this build: much faster, charging is "normal", phone doesn't get warm (I don't play games). There are things which don't work (see the discussion on the thread) - e.g. led notification is only red, but they don't bother me, for what I need, it's great.

Is it true that leeco phones will not receive update?

I was just reading that you won't be able to receive any updates with international stock rom installed.
Is that really true? I can't find any option in settings to search or install any updates.
I am kind of happy with the international stock rom. No Chinese apps installed, no bloatware (so far found) and google play store is working.
Thanks!

What do you mean under international stock rom? Could you be more specific?
There are so called "webshop" roms, which are - as you can see in the name - modified by the online stores. Those roms are based on Indian version of eui , installed lots of bloatwares, multilanguages are contained. These are not official roms, not gonna be updated.
You should consider installing offical chinese/indian rom, which is gonna be updated for sure.

A user can always update the shop rom with the latest official rom via recovery. The easiest way to do it.

I am not really sure if I am running a Shop ROM. Just bought the phone from Gearbest.
I just thought that the Indian Version is the international version with multilanguage. I have LeEco Store installed and 3-4 other apps. But it really seams to be a Shop ROM because of the missing update option.

Just download the latest Indian version than rename it to update.zip and put it in the root folder and after that Power + Vol + and thats it?
I just dont want to lose German language on the phone. It is for my mother so usability is the most important, you know.
Thank you guys in advance!

Guess you are right. But you won't get OTA updates, if you use webshop rom. I didn't get neither.

Very simple. Yes.
I have Deutsch in my latest official Chinese 20s.
So does it mean that I can flash/update eather Indian or Chinese ROM just over the shop ROM without losing any data and language?
Sounds too easy for me
Yes, its easy like that i upgraded from shop rom to 21S Chinese - and I was wondering that german is better supported in 21S Chinese then in the germanized shoprom version ... only bad thing was - i lost the google play store.

And to get back Google Play Store you have to download it in LeEco store or just install the Indian version instead of the Chinese, right?

I installed the cookie version 92 2 works fine. After wipe wipe data, flash with twrp and is done. Try. The zip file is called
X820_TWRP_ADVANCED_V3.1.1_CUOCO92. ZIP
yes but i heard leeco engineering work on android 7
Heyyo, yeah that international EUI ROM is modified and won't get OTA hence the check for updates is missing.
For my x829 I couldn't upgrade to Indian or Chinese EUI directly via the recovery and update.zip. It would give an error message about file errors. Only way for me to flash other ROMs was to use TWRP via temp boot via fastboot and then flash other ROMs.
I ended up not liking even newer EUI versions so now I use custom ROMs as they have a better setup with the more like Stock Android experience with the quick settings in the notification drawer.
It's still hard to tell if LeEco will be able to follow through with Nougat for their phones due to all the financial issues they have... But meh, tbh I'm not worried given how darn good community ROMs are and how they don't have the odd quirks that EUI have.
Albeit, it would be nice if they at least put out kernel sources for Nougat (or I guess Android O which will be out sooner than later) which could improve community ROMs a bit

It was said by January. Still they didn't released an update :crying:
Last update i got was on 14th October 2016. When ever i send a mail asking about the next update they respond like we will inform in a week or two. But they never did. By the end of march they said that they are working on android 7 but it will take more time. They said expected release will be july last week. I mailed again now. No responses from them.
I like the EUI very much. I don't want to install some custom rom. But same time, this thing have lot of bugs and many futures need modification.

Some Questions

1) How can a custom ROM like RR be as good as the official ROM? - I mean RR works on all devices and they do not even manage to have the same official MIUI version on all phones. All the developer versions are the same version but have different MB sizes for every phone. That needs to have a reason...
2) I want to chance my harware buttons to start an app. I did it before on my Redmi Note 3 (Kate) with xposed. Worked like a charm. I even had OTA support with TWRP.
Now I tried it with the Remdi Note 4. I am on developer v. 7.4.27 - which means I have Android 7 thus, no xposed framework. I want to go back to a Android 6 MIUI version. Which one should I use? As soon as I update I'm screwed..?
Well, in the end I am kind of lost between these options:
1) Install latest stable version and wait (for an uncertain time) 'till TWRP works fine and get xposed
2) Go back to an earlier stable version and install TWRP and xposed - and never update until xposed for Android 7 is out
3) Switch to an older developer version which has Android 6 and install xposed - and never update until xposed for Android 7 is out
4) Just screw MIUI and switch to another ROM. Which one? RR sounds cool.. can I change my hardware buttons to start an app there? Can the custom ROM be better then the offical ROM? ...and I think RR is oon Andoid 7 which means again - no xposed :crying:

You can install AOSP Extended it much better then STOCK and yes u can also set any app to be launched from hardware button on that
Hit thank button if i helped
Hey, yeah I know I can install cusom ROMS. But I wanted to get some background information
edit:
Also this answer is too general. Doesn't flashing AOSP Extended mean I need to flash all the updates? Thus I need to login in all apps again etc... I also read the thread and there are some bluetooth issues with the ROM. I do not want to "maintain" my phone all the time. I am coding at work all day. I have a **** ton of things to do, nevertheless I love playing around with my phone if I have time, I do not NEED to spend time with "maintaining" my phone.
I therefore like to have it as simple as possible. I love the OTA updates. I even like the look and feel of MIUI.
Just want to tweak my phone
For now I flashed the MIUI v. 8.2 and just took the MM (Android 6) based version.
TWRP is running, SU, xposed. But I do not know what happens when I will update over OTA the next time....

downgrade from MIUI 10 to MIUI 8.12.20

I have Xiaomi Mi 8 with MIUI 10.2.1.0 Global Stable and I would like to downgrade to MIUI 8.12.20. so I have 2 questions :
* Where to download the MIUI 8.12.20 rom ?
* How to downgrade from MIUI Stable 10.2.1.0 to MIUI 10 8.12.20 ?
I'm a new user of Xiaomi phones, I have no idea from where to start. I google those questions and I read a lot of contradictory informations (some says that it's not possible to downgrade, others says that you just have to flash it, ...). I installed android device bridge and fastboot. Also applied to unlock the bootloader today so I have to wait a while to be able to unlock it for real.
Can you please help me ?
If you can unlock your bootloader you can use mi flash and fastboot to flash beta rom.

you can download recovery rom from en.miui.com and flash though updater app in system settings, backup your data first it will clean all device data
Thank you for your answer. I read that the rollback protection will brick the phone if I try to install a older version my rom. A beta version will skip that check ?
Why would going from android pie stable to android pie beta ever trigger arb?
Actually the entire premise makes no sense... 8.12.20? Stable? Wat?
Miui 8 on mi 8? Wat?

Does the version of miui change anything? Or it is only the android version? If it is only android version it's easier.

Ok thanks. So I'm on a stable miui 10 build 2.1.0 and I need to install developer build from 3 weeks ago (probably miui 10 but not sure).
I'm trying to install the required version of miui to install havoc ROM. It is written in the ROM requirement that I need to install 8.12.20 and then flash the ROM on top of it.
So if I got it, I need to wait for the unlocking of the bootloader and then install the developer build.
Does it change something if I download the MIUI 8.12.20 from xiaomi.eu ? I don't find that rom on en.miui.com. Do you know any trusted source to download ROM ?

Good to know. Thanks for the information.
Can someone confirm that there is no risk to flash miui Dev 8.12.20 on top on miui global stable 10.2.1.0 ? No risk for arb ?
And is it possible to reinstall an official version of miui in the future after flashing developer build then custom ROM ?
​Yes you'll need to unlock bootloader to install custom rom.
No you dont have to wait to install global beta, you can do that straight from the miui updater on your phone (three dots \ choose update package)
It'll factory reset your phone.
I don't know if you can go from 10.2.x.x stable straight to 8.12.20 beta but the updater will tell you.
Worst case you'll have to downgrade to an earlier stable release first.
The miui updater will never allow you two trigger arb and arb will only ever get triggered when trying to downgrade the ANDROID version.
Google to find out how to check the current status of arb via adb

I don't know if you can go from 10.2.x.x stable straight to 8.12.20 beta but the updater will tell you.
Worst case you'll have to downgrade to an earlier stable release first.
The miui updater will never allow you two trigger arb and arb will only ever get triggered when trying to downgrade the ANDROID version.
Google to find out how to check the current status of arb via adb

To move from stable to beta I need to unlock the bootloader and this operation takes a while if I understood coreectly. I just applied to unlock my bootloader so I presume I have to wait around 15 days to be able to start, is it correct ?
I did not get why I would have to pass by an earlier stable release first, can you give me more informations please?
Thank you, really appreciate. Was completely lost regarding all those things.

Is it possible to download old version of miui from en.miui.com? I only found the latest version there and I'm looking for miui 10 8.12.20.
Does the version of miui change anything? Or it is only the android version? If it is only android version it's easier.

Yes you can download from xiaomi servers but you needa link, here it is:
http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.12.20/miui_MI8Global_8.12.20_c7a9af8587_9.0.zip
Stable versions use older sources than weekly version

Is it the official global dev rom ? Thank you
Another question to install my new rom, which version of TWRP should I install ? There are many version for xiaomi (wzsx, FireDance-Edition, and many others). Is there any difference ? I just want TWRP, but I don't understand why there are so many different versions of the same recovery for the same phone... Someone understood that ?
EDIT: a user from xiaomi.eu told me to take TWRP FireDance-Edition for the many languages included. Is it a good choice ?

I have Xiaomi Mi 8 with MIUI 10.2.1.0 Global Stable and I would like to downgrade to MIUI 8.12.20. so I have 2 questions :
* Where to download the MIUI 8.12.20 rom ?
* How to downgrade from MIUI Stable 10.2.1.0 to MIUI 10 8.12.20 ?
I'm a new user of Xiaomi phones, I have no idea from where to start. I google those questions and I read a lot of contradictory informations (some says that it's not possible to downgrade, others says that you just have to flash it, ...). I installed android device bridge and fastboot. Also applied to unlock the bootloader today so I have to wait a while to be able to unlock it for real.
Can you please help me ?

Well, 8.12.20 it's based on MIUI10. If you want to go Beta, just flash 9.1.10 Global Beta, that it's the latest build.
There's a ton of guide on official en.miui.com, just follow them!

My goal is not go Beta but to install Havoc. In the first post of the rom he says, first install 8.12.20 and then flash the rom. That's why i'm asking for that specific version.

9.1.10 is better than 8.12.20, and as I said on Havoc thread the 8.12.20 is the minimum base firmware required, not the only one.
Feel free to try what you want
Other than that, use latest PitchBlack Recovery (based on 3.2.3 TWRP) as recovery.

Interesting. Which miui version would be better to take? Is there one more stable than the other? Is it better to install the latest beta and flash havoc on top of it?
Thank you for pitch-black recommandation. Seems to be a fork of twrp, what your motivation to go with that one instead of twrp?
Your help is yeally appreciate Thanks you for taking the time to answer those questions.
I would stick with whatever the ROM maintainer recommends for firmware. See link got -perfect example of why:

Use only 8.12.20 vendor+firmvare, 9.1.3 goes to screen lag because of new libs wich did not adapt to current built of ROM

Just to notice you. If you apply for unlock on stable rom. Dont change to beta, because it will reset your time, and you have to make new apply

I just want my phone as the exact second I opened it,
I want a Full factory reset,
downgrading to the first stock Oxygen OS that came with the phone,
I need the official files and the method.
