I've been away from the XPRT Android thread things for ages. Haven't looked at them, thought all development was over even though Boost Mobile sold them cheap til they were gone. So, i came back today to find... lots of things happened. Root, CM7, CM9 WiP, and questions, and stuff. :victory:
Anyway, main point: I had to do loads of searching to find where everything is (and I'm far from finished). I'm making this thread to help anyone else out. The Droid Pro section is completely based on research and what is sent to me (I don't own one myself). I will try to add things as I find them.
Some notes:
- This guide is for Windows users
- There are little notes under some links
- I don't own a Droid Pro to test with, but I do have an XPRT.
- This is a work in progress. More will be added.

Here's what I've got so far:
UNIVERSAL THINGS
- Drivers (Motorola Device Manager)
- RSD Lite 5.7 (for flashing SBF files)
- Droid 2 Bootstrapper + ClockworkMod Recovery (Play Store Link)
Updating CWM via ROM Manager does not work as far as I've found. I haven't tested it myself. If anyone knows otherwise, you're welcome to share Also, this Costs $3. Is there a free version without illegal download that I'm missing?
MOTOROLA XPRT (Sprint/Boost Mobile)
ROOTING/ROMS
- XPRT 2.3.5 Root Exploit v4 by drjbliss
(I updated with newest Superuser and an updated ADB if you're interested. Drivers included.)

I don't have service on this phone right now, but this ROM is awesome and stable on WiFi at least
- CyanogenMod 9 (+some fixes by BlackFire27)

I want to install the ROM which is given in the youtube link below:

I do not have the link to download the working MIUI Rom for this device so if anyone could help me flashing CWM and working latest MIUI Rom I would really really appreciate it.
I have already rooted the device using Farmaroot App.

Hi,
guess this will be more of a review as it is hard to say which feature i like BEST:
Got my MAX 3gb/64gb (helium) delievered yesterday. Since it came with the 7.3 MIUI first thing i had to do was read up on how to install the MIUI8 China dev rom to the device. After a bit of fiddling and translating chinese / indian websites i came up with a workable solution, even with the bootloader locked. So since yesterday evening i got MIUI8 6.6.23 running on the device - weeded out some apps i did not understand (chinese) and installed Play Store.
So far i must say - this phone is glorious. MIUI8 is fast and seemingly stable, i did not come across any big bugs and there doesnt even seem to be the typical micro-stuttering. Im really happy i bought the phone and hoping there will be a multilanguage (i.e. german) MIUI8 for it. For now im perfectly good with the Dev Rom and english localisation.
Thanks Xiaomi!
To anybody interested - flashing the China Development ROM (MIUI 8 6.6.23) with the locked bootloader was not exactly easy, here is how to:
- get the rom image from here: http://en.miui.com/thread-299033-1-1.html (be sure to download the Mi Max Pro fastboot image - 1418mb)
- get MiFlash Beta from here: http://xiaomitips.com/download/new-miflash-beta-one-click-install-miui-fastboot-rom/
- extract tgz fastboot image - keep folder structure!
- enable developer options -> usb debugging in additional settings then turn off phone
- boot phone into EDL mode (phone off, press simultaneously vol+&vol- then connect usb cable)
- open miflash beta - there should be an entry with "id 1" and "device" something like "COM10" in the bottom table now - SEE ATTACHED SCREENSHOTS!
- select the folder where extracted image is located
- tick "clean all" in the bottom right
- hit flash
- enjoy.
First of all, thank you for sharing this. I went step by step (vol up and down didn't work for me, tried power and vol up and device didn't show up in fast boot, did vol down and power and it showed up) then I flashed the image and it successfully flashed, when the device booted it still showed the 7.4.16 global stable Rom the vendor installed : /, I did it again and the same thing, the rom didn't change. could you please help/?
Sorry, I followed the steps exactly as described and it worked out perfectly, thank you very much, its just that when I pressed vol + and - I didn't see anything on the screen so I thought it wasn't working, miui 8 is nice indeed, could you explain how you installed the play store, the one on the Mi store is crashing on me.
it's a little tricky but there is a thread on here that should get you started. you have to use the Google installer and then update some Google components before you restart your phone.

Nothing is impossible... Unlock bootloader (not even required anymore), flash TWRP, flash latest SuperSu or prerooted ROM... Done.

6.6.23 is older (june 23)
6.7.7 is the newest sofar (July 7)
I use the weekly multi rom on my MI Max since its better tuned with translations and the china apps that I don't use are removed
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-7-7-11.32639/
the process for installing the new Version does not change with the newer miui8 6.7.7 so you're good to go with the same Instructions from OP.
Meanwhile on my Max I have boot loader unlocked and root. Works flawlessly with the new MIUI weekly Releases.

There are few resources for this device.
Thanx!

Would you mind pointing that thread where it's explained?
Thanks a lot for you experience sharing,
I was wondering maybe you solved this: i can't get whatsapp to run on this rom, even with all permissions given, whatapps and skype cant access my contacts. I got my contacts on the system using the old google installer apk which worked wonders except now i can't get past the looking for backup screen in whatsapp.
If anyone has ideas pls let me know and in the meanwhile i will try to flash other roms to see if one works..
I answered my own question playing with the settings. You have to register under accounts mi accounts to unable contact sync for all apps .... ? anyway it all works now!
BTW I have updated MUIU using http://en.miui.com/download-302.html#446 new dev rom and followed instructions.

Thanks heaps for the tutorial about installing Google Play services
By the way, can this rom you're talking about be flashed following the instructions by original poster?
Do I need to flash in first place the rom from original poster (MIUI 8 6.6.23) and then flash your new one (MIUI 8 6.7.14)?
Or can I flash directly latest one?

I can't tell you for sure but i think you have to use the instructions from the muiu site if you want the lastest dev rom.
1- I used OP instructions and links to install muiu 8
2- updated to last china dev rom following muiu site instructions.
3- installed all gapps stuff
PS if you want to ROOT, do this between 2 and 3: (unlocked boot loader)
1-Download SuperSu to root Xiaomi Mi Max and copy it to your phone sd card from this site: http://www.stechguide.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-xiaomi-mi-max/
2-Download xiaomi twrp flasher and use it to flash from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/development/tool-xiaomi-twrp-flasher-mauronofrio-win-t3405207
3-Follow instructions from step 9 : http://www.stechguide.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-xiaomi-mi-max/
Last thing im playing with trying to activate LTE bands on the phone. If anyone can help for that, i can't get the drivers to install propertly
Due to some reasons my lenovo A6000 plus got bricked and gone into dead state
now it doesn't accepting all those OTA updates ".zip" files as they aren't having ".xml" files required for firmware download into device
all I can do is find a flashable file but not able to find it as there are a lot of spammers

So If anyone is having flashable ROM [v4.4] file for Lenovo A6000 Plus :fingers-crossed:
PLEASE share the link it'll be really helpful
found a way to do that not directly but yeah that helped !
firstly Installed ROM 8GB ROW available for lenovo A6000
after that flashed the "Kitkat OTA update for lenovo A6000 plus" update using bootloader (wipe out user data+partition)
and Kitkat is back on lenovo A6000 plus

Hello,
I need to reinstall my tablet and I searched a lot here about custom rooms, which does not exists on this device. Thats why I want to reinstall official rom/stock rom and I found at official lenovo site this: pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/yoga-series/yoga-tablet-2-1050/downloads/ds102874
Is this what I want and is possible to install this without flash? I cannot find any tutorial for this. And which format is that rar file at lenovo site? Need's to be "converted" to .img file?
