Current (dec 2016) State Of Redmi 4 Pro Roms?

[PieterB]

Hi,

This week I received my Redmi 4 Pro (excellent!), and I want to do a little development (new to Xiaomi) I received unlock permissions; but before I proceed:

It seems there are quit some differences with the other Redmi devices because this one is rather new? Just correct me if I am wrong:

1. I have to start with update to dev rom 6.1.22 from Xiaomi
2. Unlock using Mi unlock
3. Install markw TWRP

Then:

• is it better to wait a bit till there is a stable 8.1.x ROM?
• is there a known DEV rom known to work reliable? latest one did't ship due to bugs?

EDIT: I am not able to flash the dev rom - what is (most) the correct way?

• MIU Update app
• downloaded_rom : HM4Pro 6.12.22, 6.12.15, 6.11.17
• with each one of those "couldn't verify update package"
• OEM unlocking is on

You probably are on a fake rom. Most correct way is to flash fastboot china dev rom via EDL.

Please check this thread with instructions on how to remove the shop rom:

Weekly Dev Roms are very good from here. Same phone on the latest and no issues found.
I did the flash just recently as well and wrote a small guide here indestat.wordpress.com
