Built-in updater should probably work, try it out, it will tell you if it doesn't.
It didn't work, I got the following error message:

I cant get it to install, guess i will have to wait the 360 hrs. Thanks anyway
Tried many different methods but they are all showing that the global rom is not an official rom, unless i am doing something wrong....
Hi, this is my first Xiaomi Phone. I have downloaded the Global Firmware. Can some one post instructions how to install it. I have a Mi 8 Chinese version with Unlocked Bootloader and want to install Global ROM. Thanks.
Somebody try this?

On the same boat. I hope somebody can help us. Latest china beta with unlock bootloader. I am guessing we can flash through TWRP but I am not sure and I don't want to brick my device.
Caution, the CRC of drive file is different of other.
The CRC of recovery and yandex it's same.

I have an unlocked bootloader and the Chinese version, I tried flashing the global firmware using TWRP that I installed temporarily ( I wanted to keep the original recovery so I can lock the bootloader later on), I ended up with soft bricked phone, the phone booted to the main Welcome screen of which I can select a preferred language and region, there were tons of languages but only one region (China) and once selected, I started getting error message "Find devices closed unexpected" and the phone kept rebooting. I had to reinstall TWRP and sideload the Chinese firmware from my PC through ADB sideload to get my phone working again.
Exactly what I was afraid of. I hope official gets released soon via OTA. By the way, can we OTA from China to Global?

Unfortunately it is as you can see from the file name.
yes its but you know its heavly moded even the kernel is not open source haha indeed they wambling about update but its oudated but i like it its not just CM with its gravity box its outof the box
see the patch note for more
It's prettier, few new options and better battery life than MIUI 7. My first impressions
I flash this rom in my redmi note 3 pro and I install gapps and rooted the phone with supersu, putting the gapps and supersu Zips in the microsd and follow the method to entry in twrp to install the Zips without lose the original recovery (the system of the forum given't permissions to me to put external links) .

Well, you flashed the ROM which is not for your phone. It's redmi 3 forum, not redmi note 3
Hi, I flashed the correct rom for my device, but the method is valid for all devices with miui 5-8, with official unlocked bootloader, and original recovery, sorry for the confusion xD.

What process did you go through? I'm interested in MIUI8/root/GAPPS.
As for MIUI8 it seems that the only available version is the China Dev one. It comes bundled with a ton of useless chinese apps, no root, no gapps.

Mine hv previous china dev rom installed (miui7 6.5.26) before, and i was download miui8 from official site and flash it manually via updater (choose update package). No data loss or relocked BL after (even all my games still there)
Gapps using google apps installer.apk frm mi market.
Root: just tap root permission in security apk and it will download (i assume its miui root file or something) and device will rebooting by it self after. Done.
Ps: i have no superSU installed.

Thanks for the answer. What I did, is flash it from the TWRP. I must have missed that I can go from 7 to 8 from within the OS. Now I'm back to 6.5.2.6 so it's good to know. I'll update soon.

But I can't flash global developer rom via updater app.
By the way, I see this from another forum, "You have to wait for a week after you received the message about you have the permission to unlock your device."
And also, your Miaccount's device must be registered as Redmi Note 3 Pro, if not ,you have to change that to Redmi Note 3.
i tried on Global Developer Rom but It stuck at 50 % ..... HELP..!!
Hi, there. If you want to flash global developer rom, you must download the zip.(the rom you want to flash/update via updater app) via system's browser, also, flash to global developer rom will wipe your data.
I tried it myself and it really works!
[Edit]
Download the latest rom , or this method can’t fix your problem.[emoji4]

It's better that you move to developer global.

Hi, I tried to unlock the bootloader of my RN4 (running MiUi 8.0.4 Global Stable), I got official permission and all that, but then something went wrong and my phone got into bootloop. I downloaded the fastboot ROM and tried to flash it via XiaoMiFlash but it says couldn't find the flash_all.
What can I do now? Help please
Hi, did you flash the China Development Rom before unlocking?
en.miui.com/forum.php?forumlist=1&mobile=2
I'm pretty sure that is a prerequisite? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.
Do a search for bootloader unlock bootloop over at MIUI here & see what you can find.
en.miui.com/forum.php?forumlist=1&mobile=2
sorry, my mistake, the error was couldn't find flash_all_except_storage.bat
but when I looked into the folder where I extracted the ROM, I saw there was no flash_all_except_storage.bat file. There was flash_all_except_data_storage.bat, so I renamed it to flash_all_except_storage.bat and the corresponding .sh file as well. And the flashing process worked this time...

I saw people talking in the MiUi forum that the unlocking process works in Global Stable as well, but most people prefer the developer version. So I gave it a shot, and well, failed
So you still haven't unlocked?

I think you need to be on the China dev/beta rom as Wilderone advises, that's how I did it and it worked without a problem. Use the SP flash tool,seems scary but pretty straight forward and you just need to to read and follow the instructions.

Nope, haven't unlocked yet... Any link/walkthrough is appreciated, anybody?
And I still can't find the OEM unlock button. I downloaded the rom from official forum, so it's not vendor customized. Shouldn't the OEM unlock button be under the developer options menu?

If the OEM unlock button doesn't show,its probably because your on a vendor rom. You need to download the fastboot rom to flash with and follow the instructions at the link below.

Sorry not sure if my link worked,i tried to link directly to the correct file. If you go to the link below and download latest China developer fastboot file, look for the Redmi note 4. This is the file you need to use with SP flash tool. When booting up the rom for the first time, you need to log in using your mi account, you should then be able to go to developer settings and look for mi lock option where you can switch it on to allow bootloader unlock.

I don't think that the fastboot files are available for that yet. You should wait for the global variant and flash it via fastboot (you need the fastboot ROM if your bootloader in unlocked).
