Hi guys,sorry for this stupid question but after the xiaomi's news about the bootloader re-lock that causes a brick...i'm not sure of anything...so i'im asking this
I bought a mi8 6/64 global version(bootloader locked) so i think that is coming with the global stable.
So if i want to put the global developer can i just download the package from miui website and then install it from.the system update settings on the smartphone without problems?
Like bricks,errors or something weird? ?
If yes...afyer that,can i come back to the global stable without issues?

Sorry but i can't find the answer to my question.
Ok for unlocked bootloader and china/global.
Ok for anti rollback for android 8/9.
But my question is about a Mi8 with locked bootlader and Global stable and developer

Over the few months i have seen many Mi 8 owners who tweak their phone end up with a bricked device, of all the cases, a huge majority of them is due to the lack of research and jumping into modifying their phones before fully uinderstanding the situation (I almost made the mistake too, taking for granted that all android phones have minimal restrictions)
There are two things to take note of (especially if you decide to tweak your Mi 8/SE):
1. Xiaomi implemented a policy that prevents relocking of bootloader if you install a Global Rom on a China Variant Mi Phone
What this means: You cannot relock bootloader if your Mi8/SE is a China variant and ou have Global Miui version installed (Developer/Stable)
Common mistake(s):
1. Avoid 'Clean and lock' option when using Mi Flash. Only use 'Clean all' or 'Save user data' option
2. Do not relock your Mi8/SE if you are on Global Beta or Developer or Any MIUI rom that is Global
2. Google implemented a policy that prevents rollback to older Android versions for Android Oreo and above Roms. This is for 'Security' reasons and affects MIUI.
What this means: You cannot rollback to an older Miui version (Below Android 8.0) if you already you are currently on Andorid Oreo (i.e Miui 10) and up.
Common mistake(s):
1. Do not restore an old backup with Miui that has any Android version less than 8.0 from Miui 10 ( Android 8.0)
2. Do not install Miui 9 (Below Android 8.0) after installing Miui 10 (Android 8.0 Above)
*Tip: Ask yourself if the Android version you are about to install is lower than the Android version currently installed, if it is, DO NOT flash it. (Applicable if you are currently on Android 8.0 and up)
Please keep all of this in mind before you start tweaking your phone as you will run the risk of bricking your Mi 8/SE. After which, your Mi 8 becomes a very expensive paperweight. I hope this helps to clear things up for many people! Do know that while I disagree with Xiaomi's new anti-consumer policy, i also feel that it is YOUR responsiblility in your own actions, especially when you decide to modify your device and when you do modify anything (not just phones), there are always risks involved. When in doubt, it does no harm to Google it or just ask around in the forums. Moral of the story: Proceed with caution!
For those already bricked:
1. Contact Xiaomi Customer Service and try obtain edl permission to peform Testpoint fix.
2. Bring your phone to a Mi Store and hope that they can help you with it.
*In the case where my information is wrong, please correct me so that I can update accordingly for the benefit of everyone!
Have a nice day ahead and all the best in your phone tweaking adventures! Hopefully I helped you in clearing things up

I have the bootloader that is locked and i would like to leave it locked.
Then, is it possibile to change rom from GLOBAL STABLE to GLOBAL DEVELOPER without unlocking the bootloader and making other "modding things"?
Then(only if the 2 roms have the same android,so not now) can i switch back from DEVELOPER to STABLE (with locked bootloader and only if they have the same android version)?

I see what you mean, so yours is the global version and you want to flash without unlocking, http://en.miui.com/thread-720781-1-1.html (google search). Yes u can, from my personal experience, upgrading shouldn't require data wipe, but if you downgrade be prepared to wipe data, thats the only drawback, but you can definitely do it without a bootloader unlock using XiaomiTool or Miflash as well. For upgrading to developer just use updater app and select package, if not possible then miflash. Be careful flashing, you shouldnt have any problems as of now as long as you stay away from China rom. Miui roms are all ARB:1 which means ARB not yet activated, so downgrade possible. Have a good day ahead and have fun with your new Mi 8, it is a great phone (apart from the EDL lock **** Xiaomi pulled)

you can switch from global to dev with locked bootloader. Just download the dev of Android 8.1 and install it via settings - choose package, this will format the phone. Then you will get the Android 9 8.11.8 update
Thank you guys!
Perfect!

Thank you,you too!
Yes,please add it.
Maybe for the "normal" XDA users it's too easy and obvious...but not for me xD
Sorry guys if i bother you again.
But someone just told me that, yes it's possible to change from global stable to global developer but that i should have the same Android version (in this case right now stable is 8 and developer 9).
Otherwise i should unlock the bootloader and then i can switch...
What do you think?
Download http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.9.7/miui_MI8Global_8.9.7_fb7963a71d_8.1.zip and install it via phone updater.
That ROM was the last beta Android Oreo published.
After installing it, you'll receive an OTA update of the current beta ROM 8.11.8 Android Pie.
Done.
Hi xandreasx,
did you do it? Did it work? I tried and it did not work. If it worked could you send me the link where you downloaded it?

You can keep your data only if you do a backup before switching to beta
I have global stable 10.0.3.0 on global mi 8, locked bootloader. I downloaded 8.9.7 Global dev but the updater app says that it's not allowed to update to an unofficial rom. What version of oreo global dev do I have to flash?
Hi All!
I am using Redmi Note 4 (Indian version) since March 2017.
I updated to MIUI 10.1.1.0 through system update 2 days ago.
Earlier, my phone ran on MIUI 9.6 Global | 9.6.2.0 (NCFMIFD).
My phone is not rooted.
Like many others, I installed Google Camera as I was unhappy with the camera app provided by Xioami. I have been using the version Google Camera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2 v8.3b for quite some time.
To install Google Camera, I unlocked the bootloader. After installation, I again locked the bootloader just to be safe.
There were no issues with the Google Camera app and I was happy with it.
However, after update to MIUI Global 10.1 | 10.1.1.0 Stable (NCFMIFI), the Google Camera stopped working. All I can see is black screen, when I run the Google Camera app. I am very disappointed with the update. I've searched a lot and realized that Google camera doesn't work in MIUI 10. Is there a work around for Google Camera on MIUI 10.1?
Camera2 probe app displays 'Level_3' under 'Hardware level support category'. 'Full', 'Limited' & 'Legacy' are all marked as 'X'.
Is it fine?
As per what I read online, I need to downgrade to MIUI 9 to be able to use Google Camera app.
Now, I have a doubt as to which version of MIUI 9 I need to download.
The official website of MIUI says the latest version of MIUI for Redmi Note 4 as V9.5.3.0.MBFMIFA (MIUI9), whereas the MIUI version on my phone prior to the update was 9.6 Global | 9.6.2.0 (NCFMIFD).
Which version of MIUI 9 do I need to download for a successful downgrade from MIUI 10.1??
Also, I read that the entire 64 GB of my phone storage would get erased during the downgrade.
So, is there a way to backup and restore all my phone data?
Request for kind help so that I can get back my phone to the desired configuration.
You need to search for a fastboot rom for it. either 9.6.3.0 images
Download 9.6.3.0
The one you saw I think is for Nickel(MTK Variant) yours is SD variant
U should download rom for Redmi Note 4X which is Indian variant!
Thank you. This worked.
Unfortunately, the mi backup & reset tool in MIUI didn't take the backup of my contacts and some other apps. However, I exported my contacts as a safety measure before flashing and it saved me.
According to Xiaomi India, MIUI 11 "might" get out of beta on 16.10.2019.
On a personnal note, I don't believe the Mi 9 will receive the update first since there are now several models already on MIUI 11.
Aside from the A series without MIUI (Android One), I won't ever touch a Mi phone in the near future.
The ROM building is a disaster, the Mi 9 is en route to being updated last, EEA ROM still having notifications problems...
Bleh.

That's the same date what xiaomi is advertising since 2 days so it should be possible. And if you dont like the Stock Rom, switch to xiaomi.eu. All Bugs from Stock are not present there and if you dont follow the Installation Tips from most users you will never have any problems. Btw. Use lrteam twrp and not maronofrio. Even if its included in the xiaomi.eu Rom just Flash lrteam twrp after flashing the Rom and everything else you need. Its allways based on latest China beta (without bloadware and ads) All features are opend to every body even without a xiaomi Account. You allways get the latest Android Version, security Patch and miui Version that are existing. Sometimes you have to wait a week for a security Patch but thats nearly Pixel Niveau. For example Android 10 was there a few months ago (without Bugs) miui 11 is there for two weeks now (without Bugs) you get weekly Updates. And with magisk and/or xposed you can change the whole System as you want it even like Stock Android (except for the settings App). Xiaomi.eu is the allround Rom for everybody who likes to mod his System as Hard as you can(just if you want tofor sure) and stay up to Date with a Rock stable System. Just dont Listen to the dozend users Posting their bugs/problems on xiaomi.eu forum or here on xda, 99% of These problems are in Front of the Display and not behind it. If you need some instructions, Flash latest lrteam twrp (1001) Flash latest xiaomi.eu Rom (10.10.) Flash magisk (if you want to) and if you want allways working Backups (even over different Android Versions and different twrps) remove encryption (included in twrp "advanced" (rm force encrypt) ). After that just Flash lrteam twrp img again (just from within twrp) because xiaomi.eu Rom Installation will over write it. For updating the weekly you just habe to wipe "System (yes even if devs say you dont need to) dalvik and Cache" Flash Update, Flash magisk, rm force encrypt, Flash lrteam twrp img, reboot and you are happy forever. I am dirty flashing Updates for over 4 months now every week and never had a single Bug with this method. I know this Was maybe a little bit ot sorry for that.

A very clear write-up. I appreciate your time and efforts. I am using MIUI 11 (lastest version released last friday) and it is working very fuild smooth and also no bloatwares. I have customised to my taste and works better. I like xiaomi mi 9 for the simplicity in modding ourselves.
Are they releasing Global and EEA ROM in the same time or EEA ROM will came a little bit later after Global ROM?
Is anybody know this?!

Sorry, but that's just not correct.
You are right in the fact that some, or most, of the bugs in the stock ROM are not on Xiaomi.eu ROM, but it's a trade-off, you trade some bugs for other bugs and for some other stupid ideas from the developers.
Xiaomi.eu developers hard mod the ROM themselves, a lot of stupid choices going on there. For instance, the developers thought it is a good idea to remove the Message notification option from the settings, because they think SMS messages are just like any other notification, and their advice, if you want to have a different sound for SMS notification, is to go to App Info and modify from there. Of course, that DOES NOT WORK, the sound gets reset to default notification sound every single time, but they don't fix that or restore the freaking option in settings. And the list can go on and on.
Also, the stock apps are a mess, because they are not really the Global ones, but not Chinese versions either, they are also modded by the developers of Xiaomi.eu, so they work like crap or not at all in some cases. Forget about updating them, there is no way to do that unless you install the APK directly and then, in most cases, they works even worse.
Basically, xiaomi.eu is a pain to live with, it might be nice for those who just use the phone to look fancy and to take a few pictures, but if you actually USE the phone, it's crap.
That being said, the Stock ROM is no joy either, it gets updated once every 3-6 months and basically, like 10% of the features and fixes from the defunct Global Beta make it to the Global Stable. So yeah...for short, Xiaomi can make great phones, but they make crap ROM and there are no decent options of a good ROM, in my opinion.

Let's all buy a less powerful phone to get updates quicker.
No sense, I'm on Xiaomi.eu ROM, and guess what, choose miui 10 with Android 9.
Less bugs, way more stable.
Don't rush things, Xiaomi usually does crap when speeds thing up...

What are you talking about? Mi8 alredy has android 9. So both Mi 8 and Mi 9 will get android 10.
Don't spread and hoax!!
I guess the wait for Mi9 is the android 10 update...
But i thought Mi9 SE is getting also getting android 10. Maybe it will get android 10 later?

1. Never
2. and 3. irrelevant, see above
4. bootloader unlocking does not void the warranty, bricking your device due to your own fault might be refused by service center as a warranty repair
Not sure why do you expect MIUI to be bug free, it has even more bugs/design failures than clean Android. If at all, I would move to Pixel devices (which are not bug free either though).

Not officially (not on locked bootloader, no OTA, no support by Xiaomi,..). Maybe someone will port it, but it's not as stable as stock ROM.

Fed up with this stock android ****, no I'm ok with the lack of customisation ..but the way Xiaomi is treating this brand the with all the bugs and mistakes in update I'm hoping to ..shift to the miui OS. But have some questions
1. When will I get the stable MI UI 12 for the mi a3
2. Will the camera 2 Api thing will be enabled by default on it like the stock android one rom
3. Once I'm on mi ui - 12 will I receive the OTA updates by default or il have to install them manually ?
4. About the warrenty of the phone

1) When xiaomi cc9e get the official miui 12, someone will port to mi a3
2) All new xiaomi`s phone have camera 2api enabled
3) Xiaomi Mi A3 with miui doesn´t have mota updates, all updates will have to install manually with recovery
4) recently xiaomi said that unlock bootloader not unable the warranty but, I think that depend of where do you buy the phone.
I use miui in my mi a3 and i dont have any problem. I think that is better than android stock in mi a3. miui is better with amoled display for me.

I have an idea that xaomi won't give official miui12 update to an android one phone, what I actually meant was when will I be able to install it on mi a3.
Secondly ...do i will have to install a ported version only, what about the stock vesrion for the MI CC9 the Chinese veriant of this phone ?

Miui 12 Mi A3 (Ported!)
Hello everyone!
Looking on net I found something interesting.
A ported version of the Mi 9cce to the Mi A3, I tested it on my device, but did not recognize the simcard, consequently the mobile data and also did not recognize wifi.
And when you hold the button to turn off the menu does not appear.
link below for those who want to test.
please if anyone can fix it i would appreciate it.
I hope I'm not posting in the wrong place.

Mi A3 is the third phone from Xiaomi's A series. And some people are still buying Android One devices to install MIUI on it!!!! Then they expect official MIUI release with OTA updates..... LOL
Freaking unbelievable ????

I realized after installing that there were a few different things but the basics were the same.
I have the V6 installed at the moment.
I thought it was better but I would still like Miui 12.
Ps: Thanks for the tip.

Hello.
Has anybody tried fastboot version of MIUI12 for curtana? https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/curtana/
you can find other version here https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/curtana/
Installed and being trying it for 3 days now. Everything works perfectly. For my day to day usage I can't say I've noticed any big differences from MIUI 11 (I was using xiaomi.eu 11.0.11.0). Usage does feel smoother and the battery does last longer, although I have no documented evidence to show. I removed the bloatware as per the 11.0.10.0 guide and I've found no bugs. All in all I'm happy with this ROM.
Edit: Just wanted to meantion the MIUI camera app. There are no added features. No clone mode and no kaleidoscope mode. The only difference from the MIUI 11 camera app is the new MIUI 12 visual.

Hey @gde.spencer , can you help me to choose the right firmware?
What is the difference between Recovery and Fastboot? Or do you need both?
Which is the better version Global or EEA?

The fastboot version is installed via MiFlash whilst the phone is in fastboot mode. Use this to flash "as new".
The recovery version is like an OTA update (I think. Never used one).
I don't know which version is better (global vs eea) because I flash as a base for custom roms.
I have the Redmi Note 9s 6/128GB Global Model.
I want to flash the Indian Firmware so I will get the MIUI contacts and dialer (and call recorder).
Can someone please check if the Indian ROM has the HEBREW language, it should look like this:"עברית" under languages.
I will be glad for your help.

Thank you a lot my good friend, I will now flash it
For anyone else wondering, the Turkish fastboot ROM (QJWTRXM) installs fine on a global Note 9S (QJWMIXM). Everything works as far as I can tell, and all the languages are there (though call recording isn't, at least in the default Google Dialer app).

Recovery is the "OTA" ROM you install with MIUI's built-in update mechanism or a custom recovery like TWRP. Fastboot is a bit more low-level, you restart your phone into fastboot mode, connect it to a computer and use a program that manually overwrites the data on the phone's partitions, a bit like using dd on Linux or disk cloning/backup software. There's also EDL mode, which is the same as fastboot but it's built into the hardware itself, so it works even if you manage to brick fastboot somehow. On recent Xiaomi phones, it requires an authorized Mi account (or a patched ROM, or someone willing to sell you authorizations over the internet).
Global and EEA are pretty much the same thing, but EEA ROMs are intended for the European Economic Area (the EU) so they have to comply with additional regulations like having to let you choose your browser and search engine or something. As a side note, I live in the EU and pretty much every store over here is selling the Global variant of the 9S instead of the EEA one. Global ROMs are "better" in the sense that they tend to be more up to date (as of me writing this, global is on MIUI V11.0.11 and EEA is still stuck on V11.0.4).
