ROM Version Difference?

[mishuno]

Hello,

Just received my Mi4c this past Friday. In the settings --> about Phone it lists my current ROM as version 77.00.44.00(LXKCNCI).

I see that the newest stable version on the official site is V7.0.7.0.LXKCNCI.

Am I on a different ROM path. Why does my current ROM list with two numbers? i.e. 77 and the current ROMS's list with only 1 number between the decimal points?

Am I really just on: V7.0.4.0?

Same here i have the version 77.00.44.00 same as yours

It means the rom is modified by your reseller. Will not get ota updates and may have spyware installed.

the 77 version is an adware/spyware version flashed by your reseller

Hello, I have downloaded the latest Stable Chinese ROM from Mi.

If I boot into recovery and flash this ROM will it erase my phone and all the malware/spyware?

If not, how can I do that so I am working from a clean image.

Thanks for any help!

I don't have a Xiaomi phone (yet), but here is what I think is the way to do this (and how I would do it if I get this phone):
1. Download the latest stable Chinese ROM from MI (as you say you've done, I would download the developer edition, but stable should be fine).
From here: http://en.miui.com/download-293.html
2. Follow the directions here:

As I understand it, it should remove the unwanted apps that the reseller installs.

Thanks for the reply.

I do believe this worked. I tried to flash the Stable Chinese version but it would fail. The install would get to about 10% then would stop and say something about not being not verified. So I downloaded the latest developer version and that did flash fine.

I can confirm that the apps are no longer there.

no, it doesn't. Mi4c requires TWRP installed in order to flash any xiaomi ROM

Can't I just update the existing rom (77) to a non-developer rom via Suite app or stock recovery as it is stated in the miui guide?

Yep! I've just managed to update the fake version (77) with the latest non-developer build (7.0.15.0) via stock recovery.

Get rid of those resellee version of miui... Lot's of boatware installed, no updates, with bugs and with lot's of chinese written stuff... At least mine was like that until I installed miui dev version which by the way is pre-rooted and really clean. Now I suggest everyone to change to CM or Mokee as they really improve the phones performance... Specially downloads... My WiFi downloads now look like 4G downloads... It's insanely faster... Give it a try... But I do miss miuis interface which is the nicest one IMO...
