Stuck On Miui 5.12.11 And Android 4.4.4

[Simonvinder]

Hi guys,

I've been looking around the forum, but I didn't manage to find a proper solution. I did find some that were close though.

Basically I'm stuck on an old version of MIUI and an old Android version. I don't get any updates anymore. I would like to know if it is possible to move on from here? I have no issue with unlocking or flashing.

Model: MI 4LTE-CU
Android: 4.4.4 KTU84P
MIUI 7 - 5.12.11 I Beta

What I'm mainly looking for, is:

• Is it possible to move on to a new Android version and MIUI version?
• How do I do so?
• If you can provide links to the files I would need, I'd be greatful for that.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mnikolce! Thanks, I'll give it a go. This should upgrade Android as well?

This is easiest way to repartition and jump from 4.4 to 6.0 Android.

Any reason it shouldn't be the Global rom from en.miui.com ?

they are all good but I prefer xiaomi.eu developer which is best. If you like you can have Xiaomi Mi 4 CDMA/WCDMA/LTE Latest Global Developer Version Fastboot File Download in one go - fastboot flash - with this you will have OTA as well in future. http://en.miui.com/a-234.html

What would the correct version be for Mi4 if I choose to go with MI.eu? I can only seem to find roms for S and C.

Hi everyone,

I want to unlock my phone too, because my Mi4C is stuck on an outdated version of the OS.

Android version: 4.4.4 KTU84P
Patch level: 2015-12-01
MIUI version: MIUI 7 by xiaomi.eu 5.12.11 Beta

In order to flash to a more up to date ROM, I'm trying to follow the instructions above (by mnikolce), but I'm stumbling at the first hurdle.

I went to en.miui.com/unlock/ but clicking Unlock Now just brings me to a forum in Chinese. Chrome's translate function isn't getting me any further forward. There was a post I saw that was on point, but the advice was (unhelpfully) go to the MIUI website and apply to unlock, with no links provided. Basically, I'm still stuck on Step 1.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Are you saying don't do it? Surely it's a risk using a phone with outdated software too?
