This ROM works great for me, no chinese apps, Gapps, very fluid
MIUI7_GT23_Stable_HM2014813_V7.1.5.0.zip (search on google, i can't post links yet)
Install from TWRP, full wipes.
If you are a Spanish speaker (or use Google translate) this is the forum "htcmania.com", in side the forum look for Redmi 2 topic (same thing can't post links)
good luck
Thanks Davidg82, I am following instructions on TWRP and downloaded ADB. Just one of the driver is installed. For the others I keep getting the error "code 10" I have tried a few times to install the "bootloader interface" and "Composite ADB Interface" as explained on xda, but no dice.
edit: I downloaded another ADB file of which I was able to install the drivers.
Is this TWRP some kind of 'bridge' that will help install the above ROM? It seems to be a recovery tool, but right now I am not sure if I have my data still on the phone. I have taken out my SD card, SIM and downloaded the suggested ROM. In the instructions, it says to rename the .img file and to move in the ADB file. Right now I only have the ADB program. Where do move the image file into? Any ideas? Thanks.
EDIT 1: So I was able to move *.img to the ADB folder after renaming it to recovery.img.
EDIT 2: I am beginning to think that I moved the incorrect .img file. The img file that I moved was from TWRP and was called twrp.img.
Went thru the Flash menu and entered a few things in the cmd screen after I opened it as admin.
The reboot happened, and for some reason I leave something out, since I am back with the same old ROM. If you have any ideas where I go wrong, please let me know.
After searching more info on TWRP, I found out that it's a recovery, wipe and flash tool amongst others. I believe that some prefer TWRP and some Mi Flash tool. Correct?
If MI Flash tool will work better, I can use that since I have that too. Can you please advice the advantage of TWRP over the MI Flash tool?
Thank you for your help.
ps. traveling June 16, will come back June 17, thanks
