Have an update zip file that you want to install on Xiaomi Redmi 1S? Yes, you can do so very easy on Redmi 1S. Basically, just copy the update zip to your phone. Then use Updater application to install. That’s it. Very simple, right? However, not all the enhancement or modification update zip is user friendly. Some might cause error to your Redmi 1S. Therefore, make sure that you use CWM or TWRP to make a full system backup first before trying them.

I am doing the same process but it automatically goes in recovery mode. What to do now?
Yes, it will go to recovery mode to install that update zip. This is normal.
But after reboot there was no indication that update has been installed successfully.. But again when I am checking “view available update” it show an option to update.
What kind of update are you installing?
MIUI v45
Does your software version change to v45 after installed?
Does your software version change to v45 after installed?
yes it has change but why it always shows an update in “view available update” even after installing it?
It’s a bug. I faced the same stuff too.
Thank you so much 🙂
But can you tell me what is consuming so much ram in this phone? Beacuse out of 1GB I am getting around 350-400 MB usable RAM.
You are most welcome.
Built in system applications. It’s normal for 1GB RAM smartphone.
but i’hv seen in other smartphone they are getting around 550mb out of 1gb ram.
Yes, using custom ROM can do so. They are cleaner and faster some time.
Thank you for making my doubts clear 🙂

Hi Jayce,
I have no Update in the Tools icon, only Clock, Sound Rec., FM Radio, Torch, Calculator, Assist, Compass, Transfer, and a free spot. How can I put Update into it ? Or where can I find Update ?
About says :
Model : HM 1SW
Android: 4.3 JLS36C
MIUI Ver: JHCCNBD24.0
I can’t update anything if I can’t find zip update method.
There is an System Update button in Settings -> About Device, but it does do nothing.
And I have another problem, I downloaded and installed Readme App as described here :
https://www.jayceooi.com/how-to-install-3rd-party-apk-on-redmi-1s/
And it was installed without any problem, I got an icon in the desktop , but I cannot run it, If I poke the icon Its starts something, but the window collapses and disappears immediately, I cant read any message. Where can I check an error log or something ?
Hmm… Your ROM version might not have this Update feature or ROM corrupted already. Try factory data reset see.
Hi Jayce,
I did it. Factory reset was comitted, but nothing has changed. I can not follow your instructions here, because :
1. – Copy update zips…OK
2. – Go to Tools … OK
3. – Launch Updater …FAIL !!! There is no “Updater” icon nowhere . How should I launch Updater ?
I don’t understand what you say about it, because you said :
“Your ROM version might not have this Update feature…” .
This is correct, I don’t have this Update feature, but this is actually my problem. How can I update then, without it ?
Thanks,
Laci
Go to Settings – About phone – System updates.

How did you update it? Using built in recovery or custom one?

Hi, you need to install Global ROM based on your country in order to have Google Apps.
