How to flash an initial WM10 rom (3.12.2015)
** first step if you are coming from android **

Tutorial:
Mi 4 LTE (4G) Windows 10 Flashing Steps and FAQs - Read before Flashing

Windows 10 Flashing tool Miflash-20150601 for Mi 4 LTE (4G)

flash method working .. tested

*** next to problems with installing mentioned in tutorial .. I need to say that custom rom in device can be problem too. For example, I had installed DU rom with merged partitions 1.2GB. First I had to do re-partition, then I returned official MIUI rom through MiFlash tool, and only then flash WM10.

*** Not enough storage is available to process this command (0x80070008: Max buffer sector is 256)
Try flashing with 64 bit PC with win 7 or win 8 installed on it, AS 32 bit PC will most likely give the syntax error/ Buffer error.

Instructions - how to upgrade firmware

First method ...

If you already have WM10 (10586.63) received from Windows Insider, it is necessary:

1.download MiFlash tool version 2015060 (if you have not already) and install it (it is desirable not to change the installation path). - link
detailed instructions

2. Get Firmware Download - link
extract firmware download to folder (I do it on the desktop).

3. Turn off the phone and then holding down the volume down + power button to enter to 9008 recovery mode. Wait for it to load, and then will turn off the screen, after then connect phone to the computer. Click "Refresh" in MiFlas tool to connect Mi4 LTE.

Now, BROWSE button is used to provide the path to the folder where the files are stored.

and Flas

and done

Enjoy with new upgrade.
-----------------------------
Reached the end of the file.(0x80070026: Receiving hello packet) error

maybe you will have this error.

1. Try download firmware package again
2. Set MiFlash tools path to default (c: / program files / Xiaomi - Do not change folder names).
3. Restart the computer


Second method .. not tested

If you have earlier build than .63 (ie .29 or .36) Try this ...

Open the "Windows Insider " application. Into "Windows Insider " application select "Get a preview version". Click to select "Insider Fast", then click on the bottom of the screen "->" Go to the next .In the Confirm page, select "Accept" eventually go to "Finish" to complete the confirmation page.

Now system can automatically find updates regularly, or you can go to the "Settings"> "Updating and security"> "Phone update"> find and install updated manually .

Thanks. I haven't heard about this before. Definitely want to try
what about battery life?

Pretty hyped for this. I really miss the keyboard from my Lumia 920 (I just don't miss the terrible battery life, heat, front facing camera dust and 1000 other issues.)

I'd be interested to hear about battery life and camera quality. I really hope we'll one day get a perfect CM12 ROM but it does not seem likely. Maybe WP is the future?

Yes, so far only Chinese and international mi4lte ( I've seen a leak on MIUI china forum and it was stated for both LTE) but, but I'm not sure .. someone claims only Chinese lte .. Let's wait until tomorrow .. I think it will soon after mi4lte, mi4w get wm rom.

I don't know if international lte version can flash that. Don't risk if you can't fix it.

I tried flashing it. Flashed successfully but while booting gets stuck on the Mi logo. Reverting to MIUI through fastboot and then to Ivan AOSP 6.0 now.

Thanks for the heads up! Pretty sad that Mi4w users can't even test it only because of different modems. Maybe they'll release it for our device in the near future?

Your wish. But if the phone doesn't boot up then you have to flash a fast boot Rom to revert back to stock and then flash your Nandroid backup. If you NOT are feeling confident then I'd recommend NOT to try it because you will most certainly face boot loops.

Regarding Mi 4W: " it will take some more time as the devs are working on it..Once it is available it will be shared in the forum, Stay tuned".

So.. Let's wait.

I hope "some more time" doesn't translate into next year. :/

I've been stay on wp10 for one day with my mi4 lte/wcdma/cdma(China Telecom). It works much better than my lumia 520. The most annoying problem is I can't turn off the button vibration feedback and the display is really too bright at night. And of course, lacks good apps.
