Redmi 1S and Redmi Note get their share of updates too

Xiaomi was not done just updating the ROMs for the developer build and Mi 3. It looks like owners of Redmi 1S and Redmi Note are getting some love as well.

Redmi 1S

For 1S users who have not updated their devices for some time, you’ll need to allocate some time and some bandwith for this two-stage process. More importantly, make sure you’re connected to a fast Wi-Fi as you’ll be downloading around 1 GB worth of data in total.

If your current version is JHCMYBD27.0, checking for a software update will bring up the JHCMIBF37.0 update first. Once that has been downloaded and installed, you’ll get another prompt to update to the latest version, which is JHCMIBH43.0, as soon as the first update boots up.

Here is the changelog for the update:

Redmi Note

The last update for the Note was the JHDMIBE25.0 and now users will get the JHDMIBH36.0, which as the changelog would suggest, does not bring anything significant but I’m sure it includes many smaller bug fixes and optimisations. This is because the version number of the current ROM is a big jump from the previous. The complete ROM has a 537 MB file size and the entire process of updating it, without the backup, should take about 15 minutes to complete.

The changelog provided by the administrators only has one item:

System

• Optimization – Allowchoosing between internal storage and SD card when using Camera, Gallery,Music, Video, etc. functions (08-19)

Head on down to either the Redmi 1S or Redmi Note threads for more discussions as well as to provide your own feedback after the update. I would also suggest checking the forums if these updates have broken something that might be important to you and your device.

If everything looks peachy in the forums, check if the new ROMs are available for your devices by going to Settings > About phone and tap on System updates. If you prefer the manual route, head over to the downloads section for your copy of either the Redmi 1S-WCDMA Global or the Redmi Note-WCDMA Global ROMs. As always, don’t forget to backup your files and settings before proceeding.
