Hey guys

So I've received the October update but after downloading flashfire opens with an error that the update can't be applied due to some binaries being unable to unpack. I'm rooted obviously - how to apply the update? Don't care if I lose root, I'll just go through the steps again to achieve root.

Thanks!

I was able to install the update after reflashing de original september rom from here http://en.miui.com/download-333.html and of course loosing root afterwards (make sure you choose in the miflash app to preserve userdata). Beware that it locks your phone at the end. you may re-root afterwards with the october cm-af.

i havent even rooted the phone and it is taking forever to update
stuck on step 2 of 2 at 15% from the past 10 mins :|
I also thought my phone was stuck on 2 of 2. It takes a really long time. After some time, it asks for a reboot to finish update. It took my phone around 20 mins.
