Question about the legitimacy of a ROM - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

I installed the 11.0.5 MIUI update via a rom because I could get to update from inside the smartphone, and I downloaded the rom from "mirom.ezbox.idv.tw" cause it was the first option (a little reckless I know) and I want to know if anybody knows if I could be compromised or it's just like xiaomifirmwareupdater and is someone just collecting the firmware and I'm just paranoid
And if I could run a command or something to check in case that you're also doubtful

Yes, there is newer official ROM, you can find it directly on HTC site.
Or you can try any custom ROM - there are lots of them, you just need to try (or do some reading first which one suits you best (they differ from very clean to "fully loaded" with tons of software, also some have "stock" look, some are fully customized).
Don't forget in case you choose to try custom ROM - first you need to update your SPL to some version of HSPL (exact version is not important, you may flash latest 2.08.HSPL directly), then you need to flash Radio (look which versions are recommended by the chief of the ROM you choose to update) and only then flash ROM itself.

[Q] Any ROMs for U8500 ?

hello my firends! Im a new android user, bought first android phone just week ago. I have Huawei U8500 and i think it's very new model and there are very few people who have it. There's no official 2.2 or 2.3 version so im looking for ROM. I think there is no ROMs for this model yet ? But can i use ROMs which was created for other phones ? im really really hoping that someone will make 2.2 or 2.3 for this model. Thanks for answers.

To install it:
1. Unrar it to your computer, and find a folder named "dload" with the biggest size.
2. Copy that "dload" folder to root of your SD card
3. turn off phone
4. Hold volume up key + end call (red) key and the press power key. Wait for it to load, it will say something like "Updating system" Wait for it to finish, if it says fail, just try again
5. After it says "Update complete" or "Update successful" just restart your phone and you'll have the new beta firmware.
6. Reboot can take about 5 minutes. Be patient.
Do it always while charging.
Highly recommend to back up the original firmware before installing new ROM's
On your own risk. You can brick your phone and you void your phones warranty.

Hi, to load phone in recovery mode and to fulfill wipe date and a cache. I apologize for the bad English
How did you guys download this?
The only way i can see the link to proceed to download is via google translate. And when i click it i get a 404.
/Peter
You cant use google translate when clicking! Under the android guy pic, click where it says сюда, you then come to another site, just now click on a link on the page, that will take you to another page (the sponsor page), then you will se that it will start ticking the time in the top of the window, then after that you can click again and actually start the download....

Just wanted to say that this rom works awesome on my u8300.
It requires some tweaking. Change of lcd density etc. And the screen calibration isn't perfekt. But it's much faster than the stock rom so i'll stick with it.
Definetly worth a shot.
But according to a user on another forum there might be problems when you downgrade from a 8500 rom to the stock 8300. I haven't tested, so i can't really comment on that...

Is it true that leeco phones will not receive update?

Is it true that leeco phones will not receive android 7 ?

Why?
Do you have any source for this? How do you know?
NOT TRUE - http://www.droid-life.com/2017/01/06/leeco-expect-software-updates-soon-address-user-pain-points/
yes, but he does not speak of nougat
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.

Can you explain what to do?
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.

Question on Custom Rom for RN3

I have been thinking of this question before but forgot to ask here. I am wonder what is the reason none of Custom rom for RN3 equip with OTA update function. Miui got the OTA update and can be update with as little as 12mb update.
Custom rom on the other hand need to download whole big ass rom everytime there is an update.
If there is a small update file size then we could save so much data and space to upload and download the update.
May i know the small update files never exist in RN3 Custom scene while Miui xioami can have as small file size update for its rom.
With Lineage OS, you can use an app to get 'Delta' (~OTA file) updates.

Don't use it myself as I prefer to get full image, then if something goes wrong, I have the full image to flash.
Edit: - @shanemod noticed from your posts that your using LOS, so above app may suit you?

Reason being why OEMs use OTA to push update is, they don't want users to download full update from the website nd flash it... It will lead to many issues... Many users create different issue and its not easy for them to give a fruitful experience to users... When you talk about Custom roms, user must have basic knowledge of what he/she is doing and before you flash custom rom, you make lot of research in reading... So eventually its easy for you to flash a update via recovery and forum developers need not to work on OTA related issues and so soon... Plus all users are not using the stock kernel.. So it has dependencies too... To push incremental update via ota is not an easy task... Dev neeed to spend critical time on writing scripts and there are majorly time constraints also... So they prefer the easy way... Hope it resolved you query why no one is providing OTA on custom roms...

Android official OTA packages from other sites safe or not.

Hi , I had a motorola g5s plus with android 7.1 for a long time , just before the official release of android 8.1 for the device in my country i downloaded a rom from a youtube link for my device it was titled as official rom .( it said it was a rom from country which the offical updates were released few days before in my country).
Instructions to install the rom were fairly simple , i just had to grant the updater the permission to access storage in my phone then paste the rom into the internal storage of my device and then normally go check in the updater of my device and it showed updates available .
so i did everything, updates were installed normally and never actually experienced any bug whatsoever . Also i regularly got security updates from lenovo/motorola through OTA.
FYI - i never rooted or unlocked my device's bootloader it was completely stock device .
My question is are there chances that the rom i installed from an unknown source might be hampered? or cracked in someway it is completely safe to use my phone?
this may be a silly question , i am sorry if it is but i really know very less about these things , please guide me. thank you in advanced.
@Dante18 Give the Link to the YouTube video.
@lucki1000
i can't actually find that video on youtube . i was just wondering if anyone ever tried to hamper or crack official OTA package would it still Install on a completely Stock device and still get regular updates as in form of OTA from Lenovo/Motorola?

I think this are spam packages, i would not try this packages, i can only recommend roms from XDA or the vendor.
