hello!
I recently bought a Redmi Note 4g and I'm trying to set it up so it's actually useful to me. I've tried downloading the apk for google play app store, doesn't work. I think it might be because I'm using a Chinese ROM, but I have so far failed to replace my current ROM with a Global version, and I'm not sure why.
model number HM NOTE 1LTE
Android Version 4.4.4 KTU84P
MIUI version 6.4.1.0 (KHICNCB) Stable
is the global ROM sufficient? if so, how do I install it? I have attempted this, but I'm not very knowledgeable, and have so far failed to understand the directions provided.
do I need a custom ROM?
all I really need is the ability to use google apps, I think. please help!

thank you for your timely response, however, "I'm not very knowledgeable, and have so far failed to understand the directions provided." I only sort of vaguely understand your instructions, and I'm not sure how to proceed from here. can you be more specific? thanks again

The Playstore app requires google services framwork installed as a system app, for that you need root access and/or a custom recovery

I think you are using chinese version, you need to update version by installing global version.
you can download the ROm , en miui forum
, save file in the root of memory internal, boot into recovery and choose update
Provided you have developer edition ROM (which comes pre-rooted) I had the same issue. Just search the Web for "Google installer for Xiaomi and you'll find an apk which will let you install Google Play and subsequently all the Google Apps.
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 ?

you can thanks poeple by pressing the thanks button under the avatar.
try to find on miui en site a international stable rom or a dev rom with gapps.

I use the miui eu version of the ROM. No pop up ads. No Chinese applications preinstalled. Google services/play store installed but few preinstalled google apps. This version supports a number of languages.

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/
Change ID/region for Meizu MX5, MX4 Pro, m2 note, m1 note, m2, m3 note, m3s and Pro 6
Great thanks to mrpajax from MeizuPolska.pl for preparing this tutorial, I am only translating it (with his agree).
We must have root permissions activated on our phone (settings -> root...) and our os must be not newer than 5.1.3.0A.
At the begining, we must download following:
SuperSU - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu
BusyBox - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
FlymeLocalizationFree - https://apkpure.com/flymelocalizationfree/com.FLCompanyInc.flyme.flyme_localization
FlymeLocalizationChangeID - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.FLCompany.flyme.flyme_localization_id - for Pro 6, m3s, m3 note and newer models
After downloading, we run apps 1 and 2, and install all required things.
Next we run FlymeLocalizationFree (or Pro).
We confirm reading instruction on first prompt, and on 2nd we click left button.
We select 2nd option from the top (it ends with "I" letter).
We confirm reading warning and we select our device.
After all will be done, our phone should restart.
Now we are able to install Global firmware (download from www.flymeos.com), and receive OTA updates.
NOTICE
After phone restart we must download G firmware and install it manually. If you will have "firmware corrupt" error, try to do the tutorial once again (some people reported that it worked after 2-3 times).
I've taken and been successful. everything is wonderful

Read carefully and do everything like in instruction. There is no possibility it won't work.

Is it true for Meizu Pro 5?
No, for Pro 5 is this one:

2 questions..!

2 - this process would work on Meizu mx4 ?
1. No

There is a possibility that this will not work. I tried it on my MX5 running a clean installation of FlyMe 5.1.4.0A. Phone is rooted and SuperSU and BusyBox installed fine and the localization switch program finished and rebooted the phone as described. However when I try to install Flyme 5.1.3.0G or the original international version 4.5.2.7I, it comes out with firmware corrupt upon restart.
Try do it on clear installation of 5.1.3.0A

Didn't do any difference. Still get corrupted firmware, so downgrading to 5.1.3.0A didn't do the trick. So this method is probably not going to work for everyone.,
So try 1 more time, Flyme 5.1.2.0 or 5.1.1.0
If it won't work I will ask developer.
But, when you downgrade, don't forget about full wipe data.

Sorry man, but I changed it to Global firmware using another method, that was pretty easy as well and worked right away. So I am pretty sure that something is wrong with this tool.
I found out, that it works up to 5.1.3.0

Hey,
Can you tell the method you used?
This doesn't work for me either. I have M2mini bought from China with an A version originally installed, which I upgraded some time ago with 4.5.4I. Any help would be appreciated.
Well, many people did it this method
The following solution worked for me (I tried method #1):

Hello,
I would like to change my china stable rom to any other rom without unlocking bootloader because my unlocked application was already rejected by MIUI teams. I don't know why?So funny Miui and try to give me so much trouble and boring!!!!Are they making so much rules and policies whithout enough services and responsibilities for international users?
Especially for me is.....
1. I don't want my phone with Chinese font because I don't understand that.
2. I want root access in my phone because I want to customize and clean out some of bloatware.
3. I want install TWRP in my phone.
Help me please:crying:

Unfortunately you need unlocked bootloader to install TWRP and get full root. You can get partial root from the security app permissions on the china developer ROM but from my experience you can't modify system partition.
I would try request unlock permission again and type in something like you want to unlock to try out some ROMs.

Hi,
I am glad you found a way how to install twrp, root it and to get xposed installer installed. I am also a happy owner of the Mi note 2 (global). I've just unlocked it but don't exactly know how to install twrp and how to root it. Could you please explain how you did it?
Many thanks + best regards,
Xsandro
Thanks to this forum I actually found a way to successfully install TWRP (http://en.miui.com/thread-415853-1-1.html)
In order to root it I just downloaded SR2-SuperSU-v2.79-SR2, copied it to the TWRP folder of my note 2 and installed it via TWRP. Now I can install all my Titanium backups from my old phone.

Hello, excuse me, how did you unlock your phone?
Thank you
I've noted that since the first time I flahsed Xiaomi.EU rom in my 3S, Mi Remote app stopped working with my tv and air conditioner.
The app runs without problems, I can add new devices and search them by brand, but when I prss the blue button "to test" the IR codes, no code works.
On stable MIUI or a custom ROM like RR/LOS the app works without problems. I'm in the latest weekly release (based on china beta 7.6.8)
Is anyone else having this problem? If so, has anyone solved it? Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: I did the following to make Mi Remote App work:
Root the ROM, using the latest SuperSU zip
Remove the Mi Remote apk from system partition, or install some uninstaller from the Play Store and uninstall Mi Remote App
Reboot
Install Mi Remote from Play Store, or download the APK and install it.
Now it's working without problems, with the downside of having to root to make this possible. It was possible to delete the apk from TWRP to avoid rooting, but didn't try that.
Hope this helps someone in the future.
Thank you. I had the same problem in Mi Globe ROM(Which is based on Xiaomi.EU). Your solution helped.
