Hi Guys,

Not sure whether this thread help you how many's. But it is especially for the one who were using AOSP ROM and willing to flash LoliPOP without going back to MIUI v5 or 6. Because I found some threads saying it is recommend to flash MiUI 5 or 6 first before flashing the LoliPOP else will ends up with bootloop. Actually it is not needed. I will describe the steps , unfortunately I can't paste the file link here. You may please find out from the other threads or MIUI forums. Here are the steps,

1) IVAN already provided a CWM for LoliPOP installation. We need to install LoliPOP from that recovery. But it's full of Chinese. So I was used the old CWM (r7-English language) for wiping all the stuffs

2) wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik. Format both system, cache and data using old recovery.

3) flash the CWM provided by IVAN from that old recovery via the option 'install zip from SD card'. It will show a warning that "untrusted", just ignore that and flash it.

4) now reboot recovery, and you will get Chinese stuff CWM

5) choose the first option -> zip -> LoliPOP ROM

6) flash the google apps if required.

7) then reboot it.

Finally root it via the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-3/general/lollipop-mi3-guess-yes-t2940083/page17

Its page 17 and 2nd reply

Please do thanks button if it is helped you.
