The phone bootloader is not unlocked... Thus you cannot flash any rom. Got to miui forum and search for test point method to flash fastboot rom...you need to open up the phone and disassamble the battery for test point method..

thanks for the advice, will try tonight.
When using miflash..use..clean all..do not lock the bootloader back...for your current situation..just unlock the bootloader and flash it using the miflash..leave it unlock..it should work...I will never buy a xiaomi ever again. So much trouble just to try and install the global rom and now the phone is stuck forever in recovery mode.
i successfully unlocked the bootloader (waited 15 bloody days), flashed the global rom via miflash and got a success status, then upon reboot its looping in Mi-Recovery 3.0.
My phone was bought directly from xiaomi official store in China.
What a disaster.

It's like that. Wait for the next OTA update and see whether can lock back bootloader..let's see how...UPDATE: I resolved the issue by unlocking the bootloader again. Apparently when miflashing i must have used the default clean and lock option instead. Only drawback is now I cant lock the phone back. Phew!
Just leave it unlocked will do. Haha.UPDATE: I resolved the issue by unlocking the bootloader again. Apparently when miflashing i must have used the default clean and lock option instead. Only drawback is now I cant lock the phone back. Phew!
After half a day playing with the 5Plus, here's a quick review.
Battery life is superb.. With all the unlocking.. Setting up, tried flashing multile times battery is still 50%
18:9 is great, especially I've a black unit with black wallpaper
4GB/64GB model has no lag on euMiUi stable rom.
Full Screen Gesture: Did not try Dev, so unable to test Full Screen Gesture.. Pity. Curently I can only hide the bottom 3 icons, but will need to flick it up whenever I need it. Having Full Screen Gesture will be great.
Camera: Using Google HDR+ Cam mod is sooo much better than stock cam. However still figuring out how to make front potrait works.
Size: Having come from Samsung Note series, its similar profile. Very Handy for an average palm. However, my daily driver is now a Mi Max 2 which is PERFECT. YES a little bit for pocket... But much easier to read and type.
Will feedback more as I get more familiar with it.
Price is similar for 5+ and Mi Max 2, what's the main difference between the 2 (other than size).
