[rom]-- Smiui Rom -- Ultimate Custom Rom --[multilang,stable/weekly]


Latest miui v6 roms aren't permissive, you can't flash any recovery or roms that isn't signed for miui v6 recovery. For install cwm you need to flash it with fastboot (pc) or return to v5 with mipctools and fastboot and install old cwm.

So you need a pc for doing that.
Flashing a custom recovery with fastboot won't change anything. The recovery still won't boot.
Anyway, M1cha said it is sufficient to give this command with fastboot: "fastboot oem unlock". So no need to flash another bootloader, including an older version of Xiaomi's one.
I still haven't tested it yet, but I'm going to do this in a few moments I hope.

Works like a charm. Booted CWM 6.0.5.1, coming from sMIUI 5.6.19
 
c

can you tell us the full procedure please?
Of course!

To avoid writing a uselessly giant post, I'll skip all the basic procedure, directly going on how to solve this problem. After all, we are trying to flash a new recovery with fastboot, so it's supposed you are able to install adb, your phone's drivers and such. If those steps are not clear, just tell me and I'll edit this post including them (sadly tested on a Windows system, but the commands to put in the terminal should be the same on Linux).

With USB debugging turned on and your phone connected to your pc, give this command in the command prompt (cmd.exe):

Code:
adb reboot bootloader

To enter fastboot. Alternatively, with your phone turned off, hold power and volume down button. You'll see MiBunny operating on the green Android bot and "Fastboot"written below. Then, hit

Code:
fastboot devices

To check connection works. You should see an hexadecimanl string indicating your phone and "fastboot" written beside it. Then give this two commands: the first one will unlock the bootloader, allowing us o boot the recovery we install with the second one.

Code:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery %path and name of your recovery%

Voilà. Turn your phone off, hold power and volume up and your brand new recovery should boot.

I'm not able to give the last command, I don't know what I have to write in path and name of your recovery
and first of all do I have to put the CWM 6.0.5.1 in root directory?

Nope, just somehwere in your computer.

To simplify things, if you haven't added C:\adb (or wherever your adb and fastboot exes are) to the PATH, and you have to be there with command prompt when addressing the commands, copy CWM's .img exactly there (C:\adb or what is your case).

Then, supposing you navigated there, give this command:

Code:
fastboot flash recovery CWM_recovery_6.0.5.1_R11_furniel.img

To avoid having to write the full name, Write "C" and hit TAB: autocompletion will do the rest and the full name will magically appear on its own.

Otherwise include the full path: suppose you downloaded CWM in C:\Users\thaimax\Downloads. Then, without moving it, the command will be

Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\thaimax\Downloads\CWM_recovery_6.0.5.1_R11_furniel.img

Again, you can use TAB to autocomplete every folder, like hitting "U" and TAB to write "Users" after "C:\", then "t" and hitting "TAB" will make "thaimax" appear, and so on :)

ok the problem was because I had the zip file aahhahahha, did it now!!!!Thanks a lot
last question, now I have to reboot phone from fastboot mode or turn it off and how?
edit did it pressed power button for long. now there is my cwm but this recovery didn't have manage system? Does it mean that this recovery always manages the system activated?

Can anyone confirm Drupe (app) not working on this rom? I had it working on developer rom.

Needed to turn popup windows for the app. I remembered something similar with a screen dimmer app. So it works perfectly.

I tried install Notes.apk from Miui into CM12.1 and the error at beginning of installation is "Application not installed".
Is this because the notes apk is bound to Xiaomi framework or there is more to be done when getting an app from the origin ROM.

Also I could not find a more descriptive error message, even with aLogcat running.

People advise to use TWRP as CWM seems to be a dead project, or almost so, no updates in the future. But I used it and it did good. It lets you choose which system to affect with every action: it asks you if you want to flash the zip to system 1 or system 2, reboot to 1 or 2 and such. There is no more such thing as an active system you used to select with a toggle at the beginning and every action you did affected that. You choose with everything you do.

Hmm I guess all of my notes are gone?
 
Sorry guys, no updates this week... We had insane temperatures here in germany ..40° C and I left my Mi4 in my car which I parked in direct sunlight ... When I came back my phone was turned off and ultra hot ... I let it coold down and turn it on and voila ...the LCD screen actually melted !!!

Now I got a broken display and need to wait until a replacement display arrives... Does anyone of you know a online shop in europe where I can get replacement parts for Mi4 ?

I will skip last version ..next version coming on friday.
