Hey guys, I have very limited time and internet access this week, but I wanted to give a heads up in case any of you receive a phone with 'extra' software on board.
I've just received my 32GB Prime and there have been issues right away. Although it has a 'stable' international ROM on board, it repeatedly hung in the first thirty minutes and I was repeatedly prompted to use apps like DU Speed Booster and another memory cleaner app to 'fix' the problem. These don't look like part of MIUI to me, but they can't be uninstalled, so somebody has clearly cooked them into the ROM. This reeks of phishing malware to me so I'm going to download the latest official stable ROM and flash that as soon as I have time.
If I'm wrong, please let me know and I'll update or delete this. If not, please check your phone carefully before entering any of your data or account info.
Same issue here. However, I have been trying to download the stock ROM from the miui website for a full day. Cant seem to get it to dowanload past 50MB. If you figure this out please let me know.

Lol, same problem here. I've given up for now. I Googled earlier on and it would appear that MIUI servers are absolutely rammed because so many people are trying to download.

That is a relief. I thought it was just me all day. I ordered mine and it was already setup when I opened the box. I did a factory reset, but it didnt get rid of those apps or issues. I am also assuming that Xiaomi doesnt include that bloatware on purpose.
Also, now everytime I browse to a new link in Chrome it rerouts me to some spam ad page. I need to get this fixed ASAP.

Did yours come with MIUI 7? Mine came with MIUI 6 installed.
Download and flash developer MIUI 7 version. Use a download manager like IDM. The ROM that the sellers put on the RN2 is not optimized and causes issues for everyone who got it that way (sources: XDA and another non-English forum).

It's a bit confusing. According to this post only these models are supported: Redmi 1S, Redmi 2, Mi 4i, Mi 3, Mi 4, Redmi Note 3G, Redmi Note 4G.
Edit: Found it here.

Mine had MIUI 6. Now I've put the latest stable MIUI 6 on which lacks Play store/Google services and only has English and Chinese language options.
Had the same problem, you can get miui 7 developer rom from zan5hin link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/general/server-issues-preventing-updating-to-t3188967
Most bloatware isn't in it, then flash gapps-5.0.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed.zip (can't remember where I got it)
not had a Chinese popup for a while and everything seems stable, this should do me till an international rom appears
MIUI 7 developer version 5.9.2
Recommend this developer version
I have the heating and lagging issue after root, sometimes even the phone call need to wait about 1 or 2 secs to see the caller ID.
The MIUI website unable to download, too many people try to download maybe, so I google and find a Chinese guy share what his experience with this version and provided a link to download ROM on Mobile - 1
I flash it with xiaomi updater, and I can see the difference right away.
The CPU won't be so hot (before even high to 72), and all apps respond much faster than before and more smooth.
Suggest everyone who has Redmi Note 2 should try it.
I am not able to provide link cause I don't have 10 post.

I have actually noticed my phone is a bit slower than when I first got it, was it the root that I managed to achieve a few days ago causing this?
Are you talking about this ROM? http://en.miui.com/thread-157254-1-1.html
I think the other guy who also can't speak english or post links is talking about this ROM, v5.9.9: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347811823
chinese rom
NO I used the one from a Taiwan or Hong Kong website
call Mobile-1
the zip file is about 651MB
I start using the new rom for 2 days
what I noticed is that the apps are more smooth and fast respond
the cpu wont get too hot
and Yes, I have those issue after root, and don't worry about your root
after flash, still have root access if you dirty flash
BTW, the new rom can get root permission in security
hope you can find it
Hi guys, I've just received my Xioami Redmi note 2 prime and have the same problem! Avast antivirus finds malware installed. The problem app is called Fun Weather funweater.apk. Avast says it is Androidropper-BT(PUP)and Android.Troj.ya_funsms.gf. Factory reset doesn't solve the problem. Uninstall also. It is integrated into the firmware. I have read in one article that if it is into the firmware I am screwed up and this cannot be cleaned. Should I try to return the phone back and get my money back? Is it sure that installing new rom will clean up my phone from the malware? One is for sure I am totally done with Chinese stuff. Xiaomi, Aliexpress and everything Chinese will be totally avoided from now. I am so frustrated! I don't know what to do. If I return it I have to pay shipping costs. I feel totally screwed up.
Why not install CM12.1 on it and call it a day?
Slow download on bigota.d.miui.com just add o in front to obigota.d.miui.com although i suggest you use http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-10-22.28856/ instead.
Putting a new rom is a little bit difficult for me, but even if I do it, is there slightly probability the malware to stay in the new rom too? If so, may be it is better to return it. The article I've read about malware says "contact your vendor for replacement or refund" Does it mean that if the seller infected the phone, it is unrepairable? If a new rom guarantee a clean phone, maybe I should try because the phone itself is not bad. But I will never feel comfortable using it having doubts about security.
Wiping it should remove any conventional malware - you will be wiping it in order to install a clean ROM anyway. Installing a clean ROM is not difficult at all, though I can understand it might look like it the first time you attempt to do it. You could use this tool to flash TWRP, then you just boot into it, wipe data/cache and flash the ROM .zip from the SD card.

There is a CM12.1 for RN2? AOSP != CM
Bloatware and malware are installed as system app.
You can remove it only installing another rom.

i got my redmi from ibuygou so there were no chinese shady apps, but i still wiped all data and installed xiaomi.eu rom, i think everyone shoud do at first, we never know what's inside the "stock" roms from chinese resellers.
Hello,
I am trying to update miui 5.9.2Beta to 5.10 using the updater but it does not work, I get this feedback:
No updates available
or
Connect to WLAN : To download this update, connect to a WLAN network (even if I am connected to my Wifi network)
I am not sure I am on an official rom: it is in english and I have the GoogleAppStore (the phone is bought from a french website). I still have all the chineese apps and my "about phone" gives me "miui 5.9.2Beta".
Could someone enlighten my on what to do ? Should I flash/wipe my phone and install the update manually every time an update is available (and is it even worth it...) ? Or would you advice me to just switch to a different non official rom ?
I am also having problems with adblock and adaway: they do not do anything. I still have adds on youtube, websites and apps. I am pretty sure they are configured correctly: root access etc.
Thanks for your help!
Cheers

for adblockers i had to remove them because they was cutting my internet connection every times i was using my bluetooth headset ...
so you should try to install adblock browser instead.
i think you are using a translated dev rom because miui does not have playstore.
for the latest rom yes yesterday from what i heard miui changed the way they update the non official rom so you need to install the latest rom yourself (10/16 i guess) then you should have the new update installer inside.
and you will update by using it every weeks.
note:i am french myself.
Hello and , thank you for your answer Tailslol.
So you would advise me to flash and wipe my phone and then install a new rom ?
I have heard that the hermes miui rom is good. Would you recommand it ?

I would wipe and install the new updated OS if you are having issues with the OTA update. Here's a link for the unofficial stock MIUI: http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-10-22.28856/
As we know everyone loves MIUI and most of Meizu m2 Roamers want MIUI in their phones.
MIUI 9 is released by some real hard working developers and this thread is totally because of their hard work. I am here to just connect you directly with them.
Visit this page https://miuipro.by/rommgr/device/515 and sign up on it since they are releasing one version almost every week.
To downlod from that page you need to sign up and I will recommend you to do that. If there is any problem in downloading then comment down below.
Latest build : MIUI 9 (7.10.26) (26th October 2017) <----- click to download.

Don't thank in the comment, click on the thank :good: button.
my problem is weird one it was in all miui 8 rom and now on miui 9 also
The problem is when I use single sim with jio my jio4gvoice always say connecting or offline but when I use dual sim jio4gvoice shows online. I tried every possible solution i.e add apn, change to manual network, etc etc nothing works.
This bug is only present in all miui rom. All the flyme rom and nougat base rom works very well.
Please can anybody post any solution.

Actually, its the global release. Not for India only. I found its firmware in xiaomifirmwareupdater on github and its status is global Stable. So, that update Will be available for all user's used MIUI global stable. So don't worry.
ITs buggy and not working.
1. Tried via OTA and fails and fails (verificiation error).
2. Tried via official mi.com forum link and going into bootloop.

Tried Recovery rom and everything messed, starting from scratch again..
What a pity..
