I was running Mokee based on MM on the Kitkat bootloader. I wanted to revert to Miui so i flashed the lollipop MIUI Rom via the bootloader. It flashed without any errors and when I opened my phone, i went to settings just to check the lollipop easter egg. When I opened about phone, instead of lollipop, it showed that it was on Kitkat. I, at first, thought that maybe I flashed the wrong ROM and I checked every forum in the books and every forum proved that the ROM version I had was based on Lollipop. I used the Kitkat ROM that I had flashed and I got the MIUI 8 OTA upgrade. I downloaded it in the hopes that maybe that might upgrade it to Lollipop. However, it didnt. I then flashed the Kitkat MIUI ROM and did an OTA update to MIUI 8 and it is still on Kitkat. I gave up and I flashed AICP based on Nougat. Now the thing is, VoLTE works on AICP and VoLTE is not a feature of the KITKAT MIUI ROM. In fact, I checked whether VoLTE was there on MIUI 8 that I had and I couldn't find the VoLTE option. I took a nandroid backup via TWRP of the MIUI 8 ROM and a lot of features weren't there that should be there in the ROM.
Just to be clear, my bootloader is not locked.
My question is, how do i get the lollipop MIUI ROM ? Where am i going wrong?
Simple.....go to xiaomi.eu site.Download miui 8 ROM for your device .Flash it by the t.w.r.p provided at that site only and don't wipe system before flashing.
You must have to flash miui ROM by fastboot....that is not true.

does that mean i have to reflash twrp and then flash the miui ROM?
Also, are these ROM's official ROMs? As in, do they come with OTA updates and are they the same(feature wise) as the MIUI ROM available on the official MI forums?
One more thing, does this version of twrp support other roms as well? As in, if I want to flash a custom ROM in the future, will it support those ROMs?

1)Yes u have to reflash t.w.r.p ( found in xiaomi.eu site) for miui ROM .
2)Those are not official. But OTA is there(weekly and monthly)Go to the site and read about more OTA facts.
3)You can flash other miui ROM(from miui official site) and other custom ROM by that tw.r.p.But in the case of custom ROM(like lineage) u may face isuues.So flashing custom ROM by t.w.r.p(found in XDA by kumajay sir) is best.
But reflashing Different t.w.r.p is not so irritating bcz there is option of flashing image file in both t.w.r.p.

In your third point, you mentioned that I can flash the official MIUI from the official MIUI forums. So, if I just download the recovery MIUI 8 ROM from the official forums of MI, it'll work?
My question is, if I need to flash a fastboot ROM after doing the above steps, will I face the same issue of me getting a Kitkat based ROM instead of a Lollipop based ROM? Also and this is something that I have always wanted to try but because of fear of my device getting bricked and I never tried, what happens if I flash the official MIUI recovery ROM from kumaya sir's twrp build? Will that do the trick? If it is, how do I do it?

Oops.... I have misinformed u a little accidentally.
What is your need ?
To be on lolypop firmware? Or trying miui ROM.
There are two types of miui ROM(I am only talking about recovery flash able) on miui official site. Global and developers.
U can't flash any global ROM by any custom recovery (like t.w.r.p) for sign. Issue.You have to flash it by stock recovery.
U can flash developers ROM by t.w.r.p(me) found on xiaomi.EU site or miui site.
Just take back up of your current ROM before doing anything.ANd u will be fine.
But I suggest you to try miui ROM by xiaomi.eu .Bc they're far better than official miui .
And also if u flash official miui rom and then u want flash custom ROM again .Then u have to root it and flash t.w.r.p again as it is not rooted and it come with stock recovery.
But miui ROM by xiaomi.eu is prerooted and come with t.w.r.p.
Is your Redmi 2 the 1GB version? If yes, stick in KK or upgrade to custom ROMs. I tried to use a LP MIUI and it wasn't a good experience. The low RAM + MIUI + Lollipop really brings performance lags. I was on Xiaomu.eu's MIUI 8.1 + Premaca Kernel MK for KitKat and now I'm at RR 5.8 + Premaca's Cosmos kernel. Both are good to RAM.

since you mentioned that the roms at xiaomi.eu are better, in what respects are they better? What are the major differences?
To answer your earlier question, I want the lollipop firmware, I flashed the MIUI 8 official ROM based on lollipop, but I got Kitkat instead of Lollipop. I flashed MIUI 7 based on Kitkat and MIUI 7.5 based on Lollipop, updated them via OTA to MIUI 8 and still,it was on Kitkat. I just want MIUI to be on lollipop so that i can flash other mods which I can't on a Kitkat based ROM. My bootloader came unlocked and it was unlocked when I did all this(i checked it just to be sure).

I have a Redmi 2 Prime(2GB + 16 GB). I flashed RR based on Nougat but I faced a lot of random reboots and since sound is a top priority for me, the sound output was bad, both via the headphone jack and the speaker. How is Premaca's Cosmos Kernel with RR? Can you give me an in-depth review on the following areas:- sound, performance, battery(with/without heavy usage) and any unique features that you find great(I'm aware of the customization options that come with RR,so in that area, i don't doubt it)?

Better for me ....As...No Chinese apps,Rooted,5-5.15 hrs sot on LTE.More free RAM(though doesn't matter).But RAM management is good and not sluggish on heavy usage.And of course Volte.
Look....if u want just to be on lolypop firmware....just flash it .You will not regreat. ...I am sure.
There are other options also to be on lolypop firmware:-
U can flash lolypop firmware from lineage OS.(try it first).
U can flash also miui Hellas by gkalen.

Sound: Great (louder than stock)
Performance: Very good
Beauty: OMG!
Stabilty: a issue here: The phone reboot or power off at night (I don't know exactly happens, I just see the phone off, with charging screen. So, I can't use it as alarm clock). I will try RR with only stock kernel (not cosmos) to see if it persists.
I like the ROM. It's surprisingly light. I'm using 2 Whatsapp (through Parallel Space), Facebook Lite, Spotify and I doesnt have the "kill spotify" issue. When I was at MIUI, opened Spotify, opened Swipe/Whatsapp, the Spotify simply was wiped from memory. Yes, I couldn't listen a music and take a look in facebook. In the RR 5.8 I can do this without issues.

Hi there,
just to give a feedback. DUALSIM is not working on both builds. LTE function fails. Made complete new flash, nothing helps...
Same applies to crDroid - build 20170802 - 7.1.2
I would kindly ask for help around here
Thanks,
Light of Magic
after one day....
Hi,
I don´t know why dualsim function stopped working... I tried 2 builds each - Lineageos, Ressurection OS, crDroid ... going back to stock ROM, everthing works fine. I even searched through the net to get a suitable pit file.
Only thing - I wanted to update like https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-lineage-os-samsung-galaxy-s5-lte-t3534283
And I could not find TWRP 3.0.0 as recommended, so I use 3.1.0 - I could not install SkiesROM, since it was maybe to large....
For any help I would be greatful,
Light of Magic

Here u get TWRP 3.0.0.0 for klte as recommended. Extract the zip before use. Use the .tar for Odin flash or the .img for flash through recovery. Tip: download twrp-app from Playstore. You'll find all downloadable content there.
I've read that going back from LOS / AOSP to SkiesROM is not possible without flashing a Stock Rom first. Make sure u have flashed the fitting bootloaders via Odin before u flash the Stock ROM. Suitable are the ROMS from ALEXNDR. They're prerooted and a good base to go further.
Good luck
still
I wounder, does anyone have the same issue? Using the builds in May I did not have this issue.
Thanks to ottili81 for TWRP 3.0.0.0 !!!

Hello. I have a problem, I wanted to upload rom in version 7.1.2 but unfortunately it did not work, when I first started I was constantly loading and charging. So I installed an unofficial 8.X. rom. and this works (the phone is booting) but it does not work in camera, operator services and more. I do not know what's going on, why do not I get ANY rom in version 7.1.2 and lower? I also uploaded clean rom 7.0 via fastboot but at the first start it stops at "bootloader is unlocked" and nothing happens. I have the latest TWRP installed, I am asking for help for 2 days without a phone call, I am depressed. sorry for my English

Okay if your operator services aren't working on the unofficial 8.0 Rom then you might have the wrong phone model or your modem is mismatched. Because I know the one you're talking about it's the GZOSP 8.0 rom I installed that one and my cell service worked but the rom was very buggy. If you're using a XT1575 US variant of the Moto X Pure then it's likely your modem if you came from Marshmallow or didn't OTA Nougat to the latest version. See the stock Nougat firmwares you can flash over fastboot have a different modem than the latest Nougat OTA this will cause a dead modem and bootloop on custom roms like NucleaROM or Lineage Unoffical 16.0. Some roms on XDA are for Marshmallow only and your phone won't boot them if you're on a Nougat modem and vice versa. Here's what I recommend flash stock Nougat over fastboot then OTA your phone to the latest version of Nougat it should be on a October 1st, 2017 security patch once you get on that flash the latest TWRP then flash Unofficial Lineage OS 14.1 from hashbang173.
