        1. Hi Harshit Gupta,
          I understand your concern. We share link from MIUI officials. Hope you download the correct version. else you can download from MIUI official site.

    1. Hi Sidhant,
      Please tell me the procedure how you update MIUI 8 in your phone ?
      and what the current status your phone stuck at Mi logo or don’t start ?

    1. Hi Tejas,
      Sorry for the inconvenience you faced. Make sure you download the full version of ROM.
      Else please wait you will receive MIUI 8 OTA update in next couple of days.
      Kind Regards

  10. Just wanted to know if features of MIUI 8 like daul apps and second space work on the REDMI 2 Prime(Currently it has android KitKat). And also as far as I know these features work on REDMI 2 prime but if the phone runs on android lollipop. So please also tell if and how I can update my phone to lollipop?

    1. Hi Rhugaved,
      Dual App & Second space feature not work in Redmi 2 Prime as of now. Current MIUI 8 version is based on KitKat. Soon you receive MIUI 8 Marshmallow based for your Redmi 2 Prime.
      If you want to use Lollipop then you need to flash Stock Android ROM in your Redmi 2 Prime.
      Kind Regards

  15. I’m currently using V7.5.3.0.LHJMIDE (MIUI7) (Lollipop) (Stable) in my Redmi 2 Prime. I tried upgrading it into MIUI 8 but didn’t succeeded. And error prompted every time when i tried to upgrade it. The error message was “the update file is corrupted” which is not. Because i upgraded 2 phones with the same ROM file having Android Kitkat (Redmi 2 Prime with MIUI 7 Ver. Version: V7.1.3.0.KHJMICK). Please guide me how i can update my phone to MIUI 8.

    1. Hi Probin Pathak,
      Please check the ROM file which you download. there is a chance, maybe your ROM file is corrupt. Please wait for some time If you are on Stable ROM then you receive MIUI 8 OTA soon in your mobile.
      Kind Regards
