If you have a vendor ROM installed (usually has an "unusual" version number) then first thing is to install an official stock ROM (e.g. Global Stable):

BL unlock:

http://en.miui.com/thread-200858-1-1.html

Rooting/TWRP:

http://en.miui.com/thread-296053-1-1.html

There are lots of other useful threads on the MIUI forums but - as ever same as Modaco, xda-developers etc. - there some out of date or conflicting threads so read things carefully.

feds64 is a really good poster so his stuff is usually reliable.

In terms of ROMs I'm not sure but again there should be info on the MIUI forums. 

But stock MIUI is pretty good in my experience and personally I like what they have done with Android.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. I've got my bootloader permission to unlock and I'm running miui global 7.2 stable 7.2.7.0.0

 I like some apsects of miui but the stuff I use is always  hidden away, there's no app drawer thingy and all the installed apps are all over the desktop.

In my humble opinion there should be all the button toggles for rotation, gps,data,wifi should be in the pull down bar. Can you recommend a ROM or point me to some I can test.

 

Did I hear someone say that there was a xiaomi section on modaco.

hi Dalyer,

I'm having an issue with the unlocking as my unlock tool gives me the following message " couldn't verify device".

I'm gonna switch to the global developer rom and see if that makes any diffrence

UPDATE:

Have dloaded global developer rom and copied to internal memory, and tried to flash via updater too, but I'm getting a "cannot verify update" message

ESR

Apologies to others who don't care about the RedMi Note 3 but I don't want to leave EvilSeamanRuby hanging here...

Try installing China Developer ROM for the BL unlock - that was the only one that worked for me even though others say that it should work on any ROM.

Use this thread that I linked to above to install stock ROMs: http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html

And you have to make sure that your Mi account details are correct and you use exactly the same ones on the unlock tool as on the phone itself.

And you may have to try several times.

I can't recommend any ROM as I have just been using stock/official MIUI Global Stable.

You'd probably be better posting on the MIUI frums or in another forum dedicated to the Redmi Note 3.

Temasek's cm13 v10.1 modified for coolpad f1. 
I Fixed few things. (fb application's video decoding, 7 colored led, titanium backup storage/decompress issues, updated to r54-no more network droppings despite it says r52). 
Everything is pre-installed. 

Also, found a solution for "mtp as default"..

Hi Jpower73,

Excellent work with RR 5.7.0. - everything works, very fast, I have only one small issue - everytime after reboot, there's no internet ( data )  connection and after disconnecting from wi-fi net, data connection does not turn on. But nevermind, I have solved this by installing third party app... Again... awesome ROM... for me - the best one ever for Coolpad F1. Congrats!

Temasek's cm13 v10.1, in other hand - completely different story. After installation, ROM started to deteriorate, smart cover didn't work ( irelevant, but still... ), Titanium Backup couldn't restore apps, there was no internet connection whatsoever and after reinstalling the ROM, result was - softbrick ( stuck at homescreen ). I noticed, this ROM was originally released for Micromax A311 and I wonder - is there somewhere missing patch for A310 perhaps? Have you any idea why this happened?

A310 patch is already attached. 

I think it is a "wipe" issue.

Please follow the instructions carefully. Don't forget to Perform a system wipe. 

This rom works like a charm. 

;) 

Edit : in case you see a pop up, like settings (1000) asking for root rights, press DENY....!

After almost a week of using RR (5.7.3) - stable, fast and nice. I have an issue though - mobile data often doesn't come up automatically. E.g. when turning off wifi, it doesn't get activated (even though it's set to 'on' all the time). Usually going to aeroplane mode once or twice brings it back.

And yes, I did a clean install using Philz.

Any ideas?

I wonder... can we expect jpmoded version of  [KK] Samsung Galaxy Evolution Note 7 UI http://www.mtk-dev.com/201...note-7-ui.html ?  smile.gif

I had prepared it but i faced overheating + extremely power consumption issues. 

 

But...For now..... 

AOSP+OMS/Substratum - MT6592 (CYANOGEΝMOD 13- r66) on COOLPAD F1

AOSP SLIM6 V1.3 - MT6592 (CYANOGEΝMOD 13- r66) on COOLPAD F1 

 

http://www.myphone.gr/forum/showthread.php?p=6902608#post6902608

 

Highly recommended.......! 

;) 

Both roms are All In One state. You don't have to flash anything else. Besides xposed... 

I've modified them (minor mods) , especially for our device. Also added a few good apps... 

Gapps included.... 

(original port from mtk-dev. Com) 

Njoy..

@Jpower73

O.K....

I found interesting problem/bug(?) on all 6.0.1. ROMs - from RR 5.7.0. and furthermore to SlimROM... I can not receive calls through earphones button, and that's very strange because call can be rejected by long press on the same button, media player is able to skip song ( 2x press ) and also repeat song ( 3x press ) but to answer the call ( short 1x press ) is no go. Can you look into it?

I checked this also on my colleague's F1 model with SlimROM and this problem exists.

Currently, I'm using CP8297W-069-Jpmoded ROM and this ROM ( KK ) has no such issue.

Can anyone else confirm this problem?
