Updater app not manually updating?? - Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers

I want to install Android Pie via the updater app on my Mi 8 Lite but the function seems to be done to manually update. Is there another way to do this?

Maybe you are going from stable Oreo to beta Pie. It not works. Trying going from this stable to 9.1.17 Oreo and then to 9.2.15 Pie.

Will I receive a MIUI 9 Update without previous MIUI 8 Versions?

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.

[ROM] Mi 8 Miui 10 Global Beta 8.11.1 Android Pie

Update:
Miui 10 8.11.1 Android Pie: http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.11.1/miui_MI8Global_8.11.1_ed2903c393_9.0.zip
What's the changelog?

Maybe it has ARB, so keep eyes opens (on xiaomi.eu the new roms based on android 9 are marked with “Anti Roll Back” )
Looks like its still android 8.1 by the filename.
I flashed this. This is also global beta, but the closed nightly one. I am unsure of the changelog (no permission)
I've read some comments saying the number at the end of the ROM file represents the Android version (It's still 8.x Oreo).
miui_MI8Global_8.9.4_5162352d78_8.1.zip
According to the mi forums there are just some bug fixes. Nothing new at all. The software developers of Xiaomi are seriously a joke. There's still no official stable even after three months after release of their allegedly flagship that got unveiled with MIUI 10. The Chinese and global version differs in features (Chinese shows WhatsApp notifications in the Always On screen for example), the cheap ass Mi8se got miui10 already, but the flagship doesn't, ok Google never worked in any Rom so far and not to forget the whole discussion about bootloader's or GPS. It's a ridiculous failure so far in my opinion

I need tonwait 720 hours to unlock. Is it ok to flash it via updatet or better to wait for the fastboot/unlocked bl?
just flash via updater like me. just make sure u have a global version mi 8.
Is it really based on Android 9.0?
It's not, how do you get that idea? Funny thing is, that the roms get worse with every update IMHO. The best working so far was actually 8.8.7. With 8.8.21 some of the gestures stopped working and the AOD flashed white before activating, additionally it became slow and laggy after some time without reboot. The AOD is fixed now, gestures still doesn't fully work, same goes for "ok Google". Why the Chinese version supported WhatsApp notifications in the AOD and the global doesn't is another oddity. I'm not impressed.

Will data be erased if I update from updater? I am still on latest global stable.

It's android 9 to have anti-roll back, we are still on 8.1 there. Should HAVE NOT the ARB.

Its still 8.1, are you sure?
Global 8.9.6 is still Oreo. To be exact: 8.1.0 OPM 171019.026 Tapping 8.1.0 shows Oreo cookie. Hope that answers.

Gcam on miui 10.1.3

I just installed the android pie update miui 10.1
But the gcam for android pie doesn't seem to be working fine ... Any opinions?
Yep, it doesn't work with Stable Pie version. Developers might be working on new version, wait for it.
Till that time you can use the gcam made for Oreo version.
Though, AR stickers works really good on Pie's Gcam. For more details visit gcam thread on xda.
If bootloader unlocked try the gcam fix in page 196.. because current stable pie using old vendor lib..
Ya same here.....it keeps lagging....plz tell a solution without a root

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?

There is only one build of pie available for the BLA-A09 phone, and that is probably the build you already have installed, the one on proteammt.ru is the same build as the one on firmware finder (depends on your imei if it is approved or not). When pie gets installed it will overwrite the existing recovery on your device with the one from the pie build so you should get any future updates OTA. (There are no custom recoveries for pie as of yet)
My phone automatically updated to PIE (EMUI 9) this morning, complete with the Jan 2019 security patch level.
Apparently we're not out in the cold with our US version of the Mate 10 Pro.
