Recently, Xiaomi has been actively conducting presentations of new devices, but at the same time in terms of software things are not as good as we would like. The problem is that at the very beginning of sales there are no official international firmware, the so-called. globalki. Since, first of all, the developer seeks to release and debug a stable Chinese firmware. Partially this question sellers from the Middle Kingdom help to decide. To attract foreign buyers, many trading platforms install underground software that has big amount bugs and interface Russification leaves much to be desired.

Of course, using a device with such a crooked firmware is not fun and you have to look for other ways to solve the problem. And here numerous fan clubs come to the rescue, which are engaged in localization Chinese firmware... But to establish this firmware, you need to do certain manipulations with the smartphone, since in order to ensure data security, the manufacturer has blocked the possibility of installing third-party software. Nevertheless, there are loopholes and today I will tell you how to install localized firmware on a Xiaomi Mi 5S smartphone.

Conventionally, the entire flashing process can be divided into three main stages:

1. unlocking the bootloader;
2. installing custom TWRP recovery;
3. installation of localized firmware.

Perhaps, there are currently no problems with the first item. If you act strictly on, then the permission comes in 1-2 days. Therefore, we are waiting for the cherished SMS and proceed to the installation process.

Take into account! Since we are going to install a different type of software, I highly recommend doing a factory reset. Therefore, it is worth worrying about the safety of your data in advance. Also make sure that accumulator battery charged by more than 60%, ideally it should be 100% in order to be able to reanimate the smartphone in case of force majeure. I, as the author of this article, do not bear any responsibility for your devices. Everything that you do, you do at your own peril and risk. However, if something goes wrong, then you can me, and I will try to help you.

Installing TWRP

After receive SMS from Xiaomi and successfully unlocking the bootloader, the first step is to install a custom recovery, with which we will flash the localized software. Since the Xiaomi Mi 5S smartphone was presented quite recently, so there is still no official version TWRP for this device. However, there were craftsmen who collected custom recovery for this smartphone.

First of all, you need to enable USB debugging on your smartphone. To do this, in Settings, go to the About device section ( About phone) and 7 times in a row click on the MIUI version (MIUI version) item, after which it should appear new section For developers (Developer options) in additional settings... Open it and enable USB debugging.

We install the necessary ones on the computer. Download and unpack the archive with custom recovery to the root of the C drive. Turn off the smartphone and put it into Fastboot mode. To do this, simultaneously press and hold the volume down and power buttons until a rabbit appears.

We connect the smartphone to the computer using a microUSB cable. On the keyboard, press the Shift button and, while holding it, right-click on the adb folder. In the menu that appears, select Open command window... To check the connection, enter in the command line, enter fastboot devices. If the drivers are installed correctly, then after the command will appear serial number devices. If this did not happen, then reinstall the drivers and repeat everything from the beginning.

Now, to install custom recovery, enter flash.bat, after which the smartphone will automatically reboot into TWRP recovery mode.

Initially, the TWRP interface will be on Chinese, but it can be easily changed to Russian. To do this, click on the second button from the bottom with right side and in a new window, select the extreme tab with the globe, look for the language we need and press the bottom button. Moving on to the firmware.

Software Update

Download the localized firmware from either Xiaomi.eu or MultiROM and copy the zip archive to the device. This can be done in advance or activated in TWRP in the Mount section of the MTP mode and connect the smartphone to the PC as an external drive.
