How to flash Memeui Fastboot ROM from Linux

• Download the ROM suitable for your device from the `Xiaomeme

  Firmware updater site https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/`_ and extract the downloaded archive

• Download and extract the `Android SDK Platform Tools

  https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html`_

• Make sure adb and fastboot (components of platform-tools) are in your

  path

.. code:: bash

$ export PATH=path/to/android/sdk/platform-tools:$PATH

• Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable and enable *USB

  Debugging* in your device's settings. Check if your device is detected.

.. code:: bash

$ adb devices

• If device is listed, reboot to bootloader

.. code:: bash

$ adb reboot bootloader

• Check if your device is detected by fastboot

.. code:: bash

$ fastboot devices

• You may need to use sudo before fastboot if you get a permission denied

  error

• There are two scripts for flashing the ROM:

  1. flash_all.sh - Flash ROM and erase user data

  2. flash_all_except_data_storage.sh - Flash ROM without erasing user data

• Whichever script you decide to use, make sure that the interpreter is

  mentioned at the top of the script like

.. code:: bash

#!/bin/sh

• If the above line is missing, add it to the top of the script

• Make the script executable (I've chosen flash_all.sh)

.. code:: bash

$ cd path/to/extracted/ROM/archive

$ chmod a+x ./flash_all.sh

• Run the script

.. code:: bash

$ ./flash_all.sh

• You may need to run sudo ./flash_all.sh if you had to use sudo with fastboot

• Sit back and relax. The script needs no user interaction. After flashing the

  ROM, the scipt will reboot your device.

• Reboot will take quit a bit of time. Don't panic.
