So I'm planning to sell my 64GB Poco F1 and it's currently bootloader unlocked, TWRP recovery, magisk and running Pixel Experience rom (which is just amazing, by the way). So my question is, how do I go about going back to 100% stock stable MIUI with stock recovery snd locked bootloader? Do you guys have a guide for noobs? Thanks! I'm selling this one because I just got a Rosso red 128GB Poco F1 as a gift.
Use miflash tool to flash stable fastboot ROM file with lock and clean all option. That's it!

Should sell red one first (if it is still sealed) and use this one till next gen poco is released since it has already been teased so should be released soon enough.
Thanks for all the replies! Can't sell the red one as im already using it and the extra storage ig sooo useful. So do I flash the Pie stable Miui or go back to oreo? Do I also need to flash the vendor firmwares?

Hi all, I purchased the redmi 3 when it first came out for the gf. Still going strong, great phone for her.
When I got it it didn't have a global ROM, so I unlocked the boat loader officially and then installed the xiaomi 'global' ROM as an interim
Time has passed and I never got round to switching her to official, which of course is now a new android version ahead.
What's the most painless way of switching her?
If I was to put the official one as a zip file on the phone, could I update using the updater app? Would it lose all her apps and settings?
Any advice / first hand experience welcome. thanks
Hi!
Before attempting anything I wanted to ask this here:
I have a non-rooted, completely stock Mi Pad 4 bought from Gearbest. It is the international version (Model name: M1806D9W) that came with Google Apps, already with english language, etc. It currently runs MIUI Global 9.6 | Stable 9.6.7.0.0(ODJCNFD) (Android 8.1.0 OPM1.171019.019)
I read online that MIUI 10 should be available for global versions which I think mine is? But yet system updates tell me there are no updates available.
So here's my question: What is the simplest most straightforward way to upgrade to MIUI 10?
I see I can download ROMs from threads here and other places online but I want to make 100% sure of which one should I get.
Bonus question: Any way of backuping everything so I don't have to re-install, reconfigure, re-place my apps icons, etc?
Thanks so much!
pretty sure the international version that your reseller claim is false.. there are no international version now.. they probably loaded an "international modified" rom .. highly recommend you to flash xiaomi EU rom already comes with prebuilt playstore if you ur bootloader is already unlocked. if not, flash official chinese miui 10 rom and they are many guides to get playstore on chinese rom as well.

Ok I see! So once I upgrade to MIUI 10 I will have OTA updates then?
This is the one I need right? https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-pad-4/how-to/rom-miui-10-xiaomi-eu-links-t3864882
Also is there any way of restoring my apps, settings, etc like it is on MIUI 9 right now? OR will I really need to start all over again?
EDIT: I don't believe my Mi Pad 4 is rooted. This seems like good instructions on how to root it and flash a new rom? https://en.miui.com/thread-3196420-1-1.html
Thanks so much!
i just flashed my mi pad 4 . It had the same rom, just modified rom to include the playstore,
The bootloader is already unlocked.
just boot to fast boot. volume key + power
flash twrp - i used twrp installer bat from here en.miui.com/thread-3196420-1-1.html
once boots twrp, then flash miui 10 - androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=281632
job done.

yeah the link is correct, with xiaomi Eu rom you can still get official updates, maybe just slight delay from official chinese stream. but that's the best support we have so far for international miui roms now. the check update seems to be quite buggy on xiaomi eu rom, sometime it downloads but fails on completion.. just try again.. 2nd try is the charm as always haha. if not you can download the rom and dirty flash no problem, i was on beta previously so maybe thats why.
highly recommend you to start from fresh.. migrating over apps may result in bug occurrence.
Hello everyone,
I just unlocked by bootloader but I have a few questions before proceeding. I've been using my Mi 8 Lite (global) with MIUI 10.3 and it's actually a very nice OS. My thought was to install the MIUI from xiaomi.eu or mi-globe to rid of the bloat. Do you guys recommend keeping what I have and somehow removing the bloat or should I just do a clean install of MIUI without the bloat? Another question is, should I use the rom from xiaomi.eu or mi-globe or does it really matter where? Lastly, by unlocking bootloader and installing TWRP, does that slow down my phone? Also, do I have to install Magisk and if I do, does that slow down my phone?
Thank you to whom will take the time to help!
One more question, can someone link the the most up to date TWRP for Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite please?
Also, are ROMs from xiaomi.eu and mi-globe.com safe?

I have used both for years. Mi globe is a modified version of xiaomi.eu with more features.
Hey folks,
i need your advice.
As i'm not that much in flashing and unlocking my android devices any more i'm now on 9.6.27 global beta on my poco f1.
As known i would have to full wipe my device to retun to the official global channel (11.0.5.0).
The fact that i would have to start my phone at stock launch, i'm at the point looking for a custom rom.
Which way would you recommend?
Flashing global stable and waiting for android 10 to be released officially by xiaomi or unlocking the device and flash a custom rom?
I'm unsure which way to go. I'm planning on using the poco at least for this year long and wasnt unhappy with an debloated miui official rom until now.
Thanks for your help, appreciate it!
Cheers
Hi
I bought a second hand K50 gaming but working with poco f4 gt rom. If I proceeded to relock the bootloader, will that cause a brick doing so? And may I know why in simple way?

You can re-lock the bootloader only with a CN stock rom.

Are you 100% sure about it? I am aware that it has been like that for a good while now, the thing is that i just installed the lastest MIUI CN via fastboot. I have a F4 GT and its now showing device model as 21121210C which is for CN. The device model of F4 GT is 21121210G and i believe that would prevent from properly locking it. I think MIUI 13 would always show 21121210G no matter the rom you flashed but they may have changed it, perhaps due to too many RMA's.
Sadly im not gonna risk it to lock it since i cant really afford the trouble it could cause, if we ever get a leaked qfil programmer ill give it a go.

with BL unlocked not everything lol, wallet wont work just as a quick example. also it doesnt show as certified
he would have to lock it, which like i previously said i suspect wont brick it with a clean flash of current miui firmware, but cant guarantee it

This is not the case with a Xiaomi Eu rom that you have quoted.
