So, today I felt enough brave to flash recovery and clarify that 1% of doubt in my mind: everything went fine!
So even if your RedRice has not correct recovery and updater app is missing, your device should be original!
Oh I forget to tell that the screen of this device has replaced with a RedMi replacement... perhaps this should be a BIG clue?!
At the moment I rooted with framaroot, installed mobileuncle... I'm only waiting to find the courage to flash new recovery :/
(somewere) I have read that there are 2...
When i hit update the information app close itself... probably because the missing update app.
Anyway I found this thread -> http://en.miui.com/thread-19586-1-1.html that seem refer to device like mine.
Wondering why some seller want to use personalized MIUI version instead of original or...
I'm with an HongMi bought on Aliexpress. It's seem original: screen resolution, quality, etc.. but I don't have any updater app and also the recovery is missing.
Help me to understand if it's original and how update. Thx!!!!
