Thanks, done :)

This one should probably be posted to a separate thread for the attention of more senior members like @HelderMoura or @AdamFromHeaven

I'd suggest you start with Q15 and see how it goes . It is very unlikely that you will not be able to switch into "Fastboot mode". Then, if you are able to boot into TWRP as suggested in Q15, continue following the Q15. If you fail to boot into TWRP you need to go the long route as suggested by...

That would generally mean you have your bootloader locked - please be more specific about what happens in your particular case.

It would be a bit more helpful if you could be more specific about what exactly happened instead of "it doesn't install" , "error message" and "does not recognize". People here are generally good with educated guessing, but if you are looking for a specific advice, it's also good to be specific...

The fact that you have an unofficial ROM installed made the MiPCSuite quite unhappy and unwilling to back your device up. However, you should not be too concerned - using MiPCSuite to install offical updates will get your bootloader locked while you always use TWRP backup for your backup needs.

Good to hear, thanks for sharing! OTAs are discussed in greater detail in Q19, but generally speaking, having your phone rooted or not does have little to no effect on OTA updates.

Hey, It does look like your bootloader is locked, so you will need to go the long route (described in Q17) as well.

Having root on your device does not generally depend on the ROM, as you can have root access on both stable and developer ROMs. There was a good guide on how to root your device, but generally it is done by fastbooting into TWRP, installing SuperSU essentials and then rebooting normally into OS...

Hey, 2. MiPCSuite is something like iTunes if you wish, more capable of "official" operations on your Mi Phone, like backup, installing and upgrading to official ROMs (which you don't really need) and so on. MiFlash is for doing advanced flashing if you wish and this is the one you should use...

I am not sure if this is possible at all, like one could do with upgrading their Windows :) I guess you could try doing a full NANDROID backup and then flashing 6.0 -based ROM without wiping your data partition. While I personally don't believe you will have a big chance for success in...

I really don't think this has anything to do with your phone being encrypted as mine is not and used to have the same issue. However, it looks like it stopped a week or two ago by itself. If it comes back or gets too annoying, I will take time to investigate - being quite busy at work now. All...

You're most welcome! :)

"Yes", in a way. Locking bootloader or not is a feature of the particular ROM. For instance, all new official Xiaomi ROMs (and updates to same) do lock the bootloader, irregardless to its previous state. On the same note, all ROMs from this site do not lock the bootloader. The bottom line is...

Well, that's a bit weird. However, I seem to have the same issue with March 2016 DEV ROM, although that doesn't happen often, once or twice a week at most. Do you know how to reproduce this behavior? How often does this happen? If this happens often, it might be a good idea to connect your...

Great, thanks a lot for letting us know and you're most welcome! :)

@Rayban: Could you please post what you are doing exactly along with pictures/screen shots of what is happening so we could understand it better before giving an advice?

It took me a bit to figure out you were referring to Q15 - Step 4 :) I modified the guide for this step, please follow it instead: Basically, this step is just about opening a command prompt and navigating to the folder you installed ADB and Fastboot into, so you an then run console commands...

Unlocking your Xiaomi ROM and flashing an EU ROM are two different things, to start with :) Its like "is it safer to remove speed limiter on my car or I'd better fit a new engine to it?" Depends what your purpose is. A. If you need your current ROM unlocked (what for?) then you can apply for...

Nothing like that on 6.3.24 - try posting this to BUGS thread, maybe?
