Will I receive a MIUI 9 Update without previous MIUI 8 Versions? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Since I have first used the Note4X, I always get offered through the "Updater" App the MIUI V8.5.8.0.NCFMIED Stable. But this Version I don't want to install. (At the moment, I use MIUI Global 8.2 Stable 8.2.10.0)
Is it necessary to install this V8.5.8.0 first, to get offered the MIUI 9 later?
Or is it possible to skip all other later MIUI 8 Versions, and one day I will receive through the "Updater" App an offer to install MIUI 9?

I guess these are incremental updates and you might have to be in the previous version to get a new update.

Is it not possible to update directly from 8.2.10.0 to 9.6.2.0?

The Updater App offers me only 9.5.10.0.
A "manual search" doesn't exist in the Updater App of 8.2.10.0.
Of course, it would be possible to choose an update file from the official MIUI Forum Website. But this way would not be an automatic update - therefore I have doubts, if I have after the update by this manual way, still my personal configuration of the MIUI with all my dates. Maybe after a manual update, I have a complete new and empty MIUI. I don't wan to play "try and error".
Does anyone know why the Updater App doesn't offer me 9.6.2.0?
Is it, because I am still on 8.2.10.0? Is it not possible to update directly from 8.2.10.0 to 9.6.2.0? Should I wait furthermore, maybe one day the Updater App will offer me the 9.6.2.0?
Updating from stable ROM to newer version of stable ROM usually doesn't involve resetting the phone.

Updater app support it.... download the 9.6.2 rom from mii website & flash it through updater app

Latest updates not showing?

Hello.
I'm still running MIUI 9 9.6.14.0 - the version which the Poco F1 (Global) came installed with.
A few months ago I've enabled the System Updater app and the phone found the MIUI 10 10.0.4.0 update.
However now we have newer updates like MIUI 10 10.0.6.0 and MIUI 10 10.1.3.0, but the System Updater app can't find them. How come?
Note that I wish to update directly to the MIUI 10 10.1.3.0 Pie version the official way, through the Updater app.
Is that possible?
I've tried clearing all data of the System Updater app and tried rechecking for the new update, but it always finds the 10.0.4.0 update.
Have a look at this thread and download the ROM from the server with the link provided in the XDA article. You still flash it with system updater
It used to be said that making serial requests for new updates (at least with Nexus phones) tended to delay updates being made available to you, but this could be an old geek's tale
Cool. I will flash it the way you suggested.
Do I need to wipe or factory reset when upgrading major OS version? If so, how do I do that?

downgrade from MIUI 10 to MIUI 8.12.20

I have Xiaomi Mi 8 with MIUI 10.2.1.0 Global Stable and I would like to downgrade to MIUI 8.12.20. so I have 2 questions :
* Where to download the MIUI 8.12.20 rom ?
* How to downgrade from MIUI Stable 10.2.1.0 to MIUI 10 8.12.20 ?
I'm a new user of Xiaomi phones, I have no idea from where to start. I google those questions and I read a lot of contradictory informations (some says that it's not possible to downgrade, others says that you just have to flash it, ...). I installed android device bridge and fastboot. Also applied to unlock the bootloader today so I have to wait a while to be able to unlock it for real.
Can you please help me ?
If you can unlock your bootloader you can use mi flash and fastboot to flash beta rom.

you can download recovery rom from en.miui.com and flash though updater app in system settings, backup your data first it will clean all device data
Thank you for your answer. I read that the rollback protection will brick the phone if I try to install a older version my rom. A beta version will skip that check ?
Why would going from android pie stable to android pie beta ever trigger arb?
Actually the entire premise makes no sense... 8.12.20? Stable? Wat?
Miui 8 on mi 8? Wat?

Does the version of miui change anything? Or it is only the android version? If it is only android version it's easier.

Ok thanks. So I'm on a stable miui 10 build 2.1.0 and I need to install developer build from 3 weeks ago (probably miui 10 but not sure).
I'm trying to install the required version of miui to install havoc ROM. It is written in the ROM requirement that I need to install 8.12.20 and then flash the ROM on top of it.
So if I got it, I need to wait for the unlocking of the bootloader and then install the developer build.
Does it change something if I download the MIUI 8.12.20 from xiaomi.eu ? I don't find that rom on en.miui.com. Do you know any trusted source to download ROM ?

Good to know. Thanks for the information.
Can someone confirm that there is no risk to flash miui Dev 8.12.20 on top on miui global stable 10.2.1.0 ? No risk for arb ?
And is it possible to reinstall an official version of miui in the future after flashing developer build then custom ROM ?
​Yes you'll need to unlock bootloader to install custom rom.
No you dont have to wait to install global beta, you can do that straight from the miui updater on your phone (three dots \ choose update package)
It'll factory reset your phone.
I don't know if you can go from 10.2.x.x stable straight to 8.12.20 beta but the updater will tell you.
Worst case you'll have to downgrade to an earlier stable release first.
The miui updater will never allow you two trigger arb and arb will only ever get triggered when trying to downgrade the ANDROID version.
Google to find out how to check the current status of arb via adb

To move from stable to beta I need to unlock the bootloader and this operation takes a while if I understood coreectly. I just applied to unlock my bootloader so I presume I have to wait around 15 days to be able to start, is it correct ?
I did not get why I would have to pass by an earlier stable release first, can you give me more informations please?
Thank you, really appreciate. Was completely lost regarding all those things.

Is it the official global dev rom ? Thank you
Another question to install my new rom, which version of TWRP should I install ? There are many version for xiaomi (wzsx, FireDance-Edition, and many others). Is there any difference ? I just want TWRP, but I don't understand why there are so many different versions of the same recovery for the same phone... Someone understood that ?
EDIT: a user from xiaomi.eu told me to take TWRP FireDance-Edition for the many languages included. Is it a good choice ?

Well, 8.12.20 it's based on MIUI10. If you want to go Beta, just flash 9.1.10 Global Beta, that it's the latest build.
There's a ton of guide on official en.miui.com, just follow them!

My goal is not go Beta but to install Havoc. In the first post of the rom he says, first install 8.12.20 and then flash the rom. That's why i'm asking for that specific version.

9.1.10 is better than 8.12.20, and as I said on Havoc thread the 8.12.20 is the minimum base firmware required, not the only one.
Feel free to try what you want
Other than that, use latest PitchBlack Recovery (based on 3.2.3 TWRP) as recovery.

Interesting. Which miui version would be better to take? Is there one more stable than the other? Is it better to install the latest beta and flash havoc on top of it?
Thank you for pitch-black recommandation. Seems to be a fork of twrp, what your motivation to go with that one instead of twrp?
Your help is yeally appreciate Thanks you for taking the time to answer those questions.
I would stick with whatever the ROM maintainer recommends for firmware. See link got -perfect example of why:

From Hydrogen to Oxygen

Hi fellas.
I bought a second hand oneplus but it came with Hydrogen (it's the Chinese version). I have searched ways to flash a international rom (oxígen), but seems not doable. I downloaded the latest oxígen version and tried doing a manual update but it says that since my os version is higher, it cannot downgrade an older rom.
Do you know any workaround? Just want to get rid of all the Chinese bloatware and have a clean rom.

To change to oxygen from hydrogen make sure the oxygen build is newer than the hydrogen rom you are running. (The updater will not install an older build dates firmware) Ex don't update hydrogen rom then when the full update zip for ixgen is up on oxygen updater app. Download then put the zip in the root of sdcard storage. Navigate to settings update press the 3 dot menu button in the corner then select local update pick the zip you downloaded it will flash the oxygen rom if it fails the first time repeat the process in the settings updater app. If you want it on both slots after it installs and reboots repeat the process again
I have an hd1910 running oxygen os
The other option is to use the msm tool for international varient, but I did not change that way

Miui 11 v11.0.7.0.qjcmixm

I hope someone finds this helpful.
I have been waiting for MIUI 12 and seeing family members Redmi phones receiving newer versions of MIUI 11, I decided to go looking.
MIUI 11 V11.0.7.0.QJCMIXM Update at 2020-08-28 13:58:11 is now available. :good:
Changelog:
Other
Optimization: Increased system stability
Optimization: Reduced system lag
Download link for both OTA and Recovery are available here.
https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/lancelot/[/url]
I followed this guide to upgrade to this latest update of MIUI 11 using the OTA file.
https://c.mi.com/thread-1890305-1-0.html[/url]
My Redmi 9 is now on - V11.0.7.0.QJCMIXM which is much smoother and noticeably better, i am looking forward to MIUI 12 when it is available.
Just an FYI...
This also appears to have fixed the icons disappearing on the bottom of my home screen from time to time, which apparently only occurs when you have an app draw setup.
I haven't seen it occur in over 24hrs, where it used to happen regularly before I did the update.
Tnks a lot...i also update my redmi 9...it work great ..root also work...
so should I download and use the recovery one or the ota version ?

Use the OTA and you can upgrade from V11.0.4.0.QJCMIXM to V11.0.7.0.QJCMIXM without needing to reset anything or lose any data.
It is just like receiving the update via Wifi..
For some reason, I did not receive the OTA via Wifi as my phone kept saying "No updates available"... Yet here it is.

I was looking here:

and
https://t.me/s/MIUI11_Updates
It's a good version from xiaomi for redmi 9 it's more stable and felt like a real "stable build" .
I'm not existing for miui 12, just felling that it will be buggy
