Hello everyone!
I'm opening this post because even though it does say so in the Wilson's ROM, there are suggestions to the contrary on other ROM threads. This might only be necessary for the 32gig version
I was desperately trying to get CM12.1 flashed onto my 32gig mi4i which comes stock with MIUI 5.9.15, and nothing was working. Wiped everything, formatted, tried different sets of GAPPS, tried different ROMS... no cigar. It would flash, optimize apps, reboot, go onto language selection screen, get stuck for a few seconds, and reboot. and reboot. and reboot. you get the idea.
You ABSOLUTELY need to flash MIUI 6.6.10 first. No other version of MIUI will work. I tried a couple of others first since 6.6.10 was taking forever to download to no avail. I put the patience in, downloaded 6.1.10, flashed the UBER ROM and voila! works first try.
I've only been toying with it for an hour or so but i'm really, REALLY loving it. I'm not a fan of MIUI but I could have gotten used to it, however the ****ty recent apps drawer and the useless lockscreen were deal-breakers for me. I'm a lot happier with my Mi4i purchase now!
Thanks a lot to everyone putting in the effort to port and compile these ROMs so noobs such as myself just have to hit a few buttons to get them working.
