The new flagship by Xiaomi, Mi 9 and its ‘lite’ version have been released earlier this week, and we saw a good move from Xiaomi by released the kernel source immediately after the launch event, but stock ROM took some time.
Mi 9 series has three devices, for now, the most-powerful flagship Mi 9 (codename: cepheus), the pretty Mi 9 Transparent Edition, and the first device with Snapdragon 712 in the world Mi 9 SE (codename: grus)
We, at Xiaomi Firmware Updater, was able to get the first official MIUI package for Mi 9 and Mi 9 SE, although it’s not available on MIUI China website yet!
Mi 9 MIUI version is V10.2.5.0, while Mi 9 SE one is V10.2.3.0, and both of them are running Android Pie (9.0) unlike some leaks reported earlier.
Download Mi 9 Official MIUI V10.2.5.0.PFACNXM Here
And as usual, the new devices will be added to Xiaomi Firmware Updater once the stable ROM becomes available publicly.

I noticed that MI9 appeared on Xiaomi.eu page.
Does this mean that this is global ROM ?

True, I read about the and can confirm.
On the other hand - I noticed that MI9 appeared on MIUI.com site.
And it appears to be Global.
After an update its 10.2.12 Global.

do you have 9.3.7 dev rom for mi9?
Hi
Does this version allow 48MP (8000x6000) RAW files on camera2 api? Mine is only 12MP RAW.
Thanks in anticipation...

Hi all. I purchased a mi 9 last week from a Chinese seller in Canada. I dont know if its the global version, but I assume not since all the preloaded apps are Chinese. How do I check which version do I have? And are there instructions for switching to the global version? Thank you
Hi @AlexZanf
Would you mind running the Camera2 probe from the play store? I'm interested if it says max image is 3000x4000 or 6000x8000?
Thanks
Steve
There is first Global stable rom for Mi 9 but...no luck to flash ?!
I dont understand why Xiaomi are jocking with us-no possible to flas Global stable rom and no possible to flash Global Developer rom ? Which phone we was buy, is this Mi 9 Global version or something else ?

That's funny, I downloaded miui_CEPHEUSGlobal_V10.2.3.0.PFAMIXM_e3aaed0507_9.0.zip and copied it to my downloaded_rom on the phone but when I go to Settings/About Phone/System Update and tap the 3 dots, I don't get the option "Choose Update Package".
I clicked on "Download Latest" and it downloaded and installed, but it's 10.2.15.0 as it was before I started. My model is the same as yours at M1902F1G.
I'm a bit confused. What does the EEA version mean?

OK after a quick Google, I found out you need to tap 10 times on the MIU logo which then enabled the option.
I tried to install the above, and got an error message saying:
Can't verify update
Sorry, Flash older version not allowed.
So I'm in the same boat as you!

Flash China Stable through Mi Flash then use Updater app to update to China Developer from China stable. Then unlock.
You can't flash China Developer from Global stable using Updater app.

you cant go from Global stable to China dev, first you have to flash china stable through flash tool than
download and install china dev rom zip via updater app. it'll work..
Update your stock ROM...had the same issue..the update helped with solving my problem (50℅ couldn't verify device error)
pls post here with your details.

Had the unlock stuck at 50% too - worked after going to Dev version. I'm on Global but I think China Dev will also work.
I have Mido SD 32/3GB on MIUI 8.2.10.0.0.
When I check for updates in Updater app it gives me no update,and on MI site download page for Redmi Note 4X global there are 8.5.4.0 version. I have manualy downloaded 8.5.4.0 update and put it in internal and external memory and tryed "choose update package" option.Nothing,MIUI says "can't verify update.current version is illegal,only allowed to flash stable version".I have tried MIUI 9 7.8.24...same thing. The fone is all stock.But the bootloader is factory unlocked.
Anybody has solution??? Thanks.

Hey man, you have a Fake/tampered Rom
Take a look at this:
http://en.miui.com/thread-392159-1-1.html
For stable rom , needed about 3 decimal points. Not more than that
You need to use MIFLASH tool to flash the original rom. Make sure to unlock bootloader first (i think its already unlock thou).
Flashing guide:
http://en.miui.com/thread-565784-1-1.html
Thanks,I was thinking about using MIFLASH.
Yes, bootloader is (factory ??? ) unlocked.I buy it like that.
(why would seler temper with ROM? my Mido is chinese 2016101 and I live in Serbia/East Europe.couldn,t they just flash Global rom.I buy from them Redmi 4a for my wife,and it was OK.Updated fine to latest ROM.)
Didn't know about 3 decimal rom rule.

Xiaomi have no official retail stores yet (except at India thou) so they let those f*ck up resellers to buy their phones and do whatever they want to sell it.
If the reseller bought those phones directly from China with chinese miui rom , tendency it will modified to english with playstore installed.
Sorry for that lol ,
Now try miflash if it works :fingers-crossed:
MIFLASH did the trick. I'm now on 8.5.4.0.
How to know the bootloader is lock or unlock?
And is there any tutorial i can follow on how to install rom from fake to official?

To flash an official ROM (stable or developer, chinese or global) over an unofficial one, you need an unlock bootloader and follow this guide.
If you are using an unofficial ROM, like those fake MIUI ROMs (bad) or Xiaomi.eu ROMs (better than official), you have already an unlocked bootloader.
This is a thread specific about the 9T Pro 6(8) GB - 128(256) GB Global EU QFKEUXM version.
Please keep discussions, tips and other items strictly about the Global EU version.

You're probably on the MIUI global rom that's (for now) 'stuck' at 11.0.1. Whereas the op is probably on MIUI's EU/EEA rom that's 'already' on 11.0.3.

Thanks. I am indeed on the global Rom. What are the differences?
Sent from my Redmi K20 Pro using Tapatalk
I honestly have no idea. I used both and I only noticed 2 differences:
1. The global rom says LTE in the statusbar and the EEA/EU rom says 4G
2. Swiping up from the home screen with stock launcher opens up xiaomi browser on the EEA rom and Google search on the global rom.
I googled a bit but haven't found no official statement from Xiaomi. Some people say there's no ads on EEA but I honestly never had ads in MIUI wether it be global or EEA.
Other people say the EEA rom (finally) complies with the European GDPR which makes sense and also means that there's no access to the theme store. Tho the global rom already has no access to theme store if you set your region to the EU countries.
Both EEA and Global lack features like the ultra battery saving mode (for now), so I honestly don't think there's much of a difference, despite the version difference (11.0.3 and 11.0.1).
However there might be differences in update frequency but I haven't figured that one out yet. All I can tell is that the EEA rom received Miui 11 way faster/earlier.
Thanks so much for the super detailed response. Interestingly, so I believe, I'm on the global Rom and mine says 4g and 4g+
Not sure how related or unrelated it is but I am able to get Vowifi on my p20 Pro but nothing at all on my xiaomi [emoji24]

The Global EU Rom has to comply to the EU law for privacy protection and uses for example the Android Phone interface.
The eventual Ad's that can be shown is completely dependable of the users choice and you must allow or refuse it during setup and when already setup you can revoke you choice of showing them and switch them off.
The update for global finally arrived. 11.0.3

You can see what version you're running when you hit the ''My device'' section in settings and take a look at the exact MIUI version.
For example mine (global) says ''11.0.1.0(QFKMIXM)'' whereas the EEA/EU rom says ''11.0.3.0(QFKEUXM)'' so you can basically tell the ROM version apart by the ''MI'' or ''EU''
Anybody already received the November security update for the Global EU?
On Global, not global EU
Sent from my Redmi K20 Pro using Tapatalk
On Global the November sec.update came with the update to Miui 11 and Android 10, unfortunately not for the EUXM Global.
Now it is waiting for that or the December security update although the January update is almost finished by Google now.

Today started new update 11.0.4.0 with bugfixes and december security update
Received the message on my device yesterday and went to the update checker.
It showed with a red dot that there was an update but after I checked manually it couldn't detect it anymore.
Strange.
Will try later today.
It's the same for the global version so this update might got pulled back.

You installed indian C.02 over russian A.06 ??
Is it really working stable (beside NFC of course)?
Is the FM-radio app running again?
@stefano.parizzi1 reported many bugs and instability after installing indian C.01 over A.06 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-xt/help/realme-xt-eu-os-bugged-due-to-upgrade-t4043401
...brightness control won't work. So i did a reset and even more things started to not work like google play services etc etc , the phone is pretty much unusable. The phone still works and boots and evrything , just extremely buggy and can't login with google and all its services , also i get popus about that pretty much constantly...
... several things crash ( update app , bootloader unlock official apk , chrome sometimes ) and the device remain not google certified so i can't use netflix via play store nor bank apps.

Hi all.so i have to install the 06 rom and then after tht install the c02 over the 06 to have realme ui?
Thnks
I've forced install the indian version RMX1921EX_11_OTA_1010_all_yuEH87qmmZhw.ozip on my Realme XT eu (italy)
NFC is gone (there are no menu about it) but FM radio is working good.
Other bugs are:
brightness in automatic mode is not working
device for Google is not registered, all gapps won't running (workaround exists and it's ok)
software update menu crash while opening
on boot 4G is active but data connection doesn't work, I must toggle off and on to get working
I'm thinking to install the new version RMX1921EX_11_C.02, but in the update log there are no info about
fixing bugs on light sensor, nfc and google registration
I think there are two versions of Realme xt : India & Global (tw/ru/eu). India version can unlock the bootloader while global cannot. I have tw version which the latest update RMX1921EUEX_11_OTA_0800_all_m2k8GLY0Trj4.ozip can be found in .recovery_repair directory. But cannot be downloaded.
I think we need to wait the Realme ui update for Ru/Global version, there's isn't another choice..

Hey, so I've been using Xiaomi phones for quite a while, and I've gone through notes, Poco, the 9T pro, now up to the Mi10. I've only ever installed minor mods and such, never needed to flash ROMs before. I just set up my Mi10 today and it says no updates are available, staying on Android 10 and MiUI 11, even though it should have at least access to a beta MiUI12. Tried different regions, nothing.
I looked around and saw some ROMs for MiUI 12 for DL, there are ROMs for the Ultra and Pro, but not the basic. Thing is, the Pro and the regular are almost identical devices, save for I guess the camera sensors. So, I have a few questions.
Would the Mi10 pro ROM work for the regular Mi10 5G?
If not, is there a link I missed here for a MiUI 12 ROM for the regular one?
Can I really install a ROM through the phone itself, manually, and if not, is there a guide on here that I have also missed?
Soon

As you see, VF is Vodafone branded firmware, so it is very slow in updating. You should change fw: unlock bootloader, use mi flash for flashing EEA fw. You can relock using that fw, not others

Hi,
I had the same questions when i received my Mi10 last week (France) it was locked on mi11 and no update proposed
Now, before unlocking the bootloader, i could manually update with no problem to miui 12.0.6 European stable version through manual update (setting - > updates - > menu > select update package
The recovery update package can be found easily on Google.

As you see, VF is Vodafone branded firmware, so it is very slow in updating. You should change fw: unlock bootloader, use mi flash for flashing EEA fw. You can relock using that fw, not others

Do I need to use Mi Unlock to unlock the bootloader, because I've never done that before?
And do you mean this one? Mi 10 EEA Firmware V12.2.4.0.RJBEUXM Update | Xiaomi Firmware Updater
If these are stupid questions, sorry, I genuinely don't know how it works.

You mean the V12.2.4.0.RJBEUXM Europe recovery ROM from here Download: MIUI 12 stable update rolling out to several Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices (xda-developers.com) ?
Because when I tried to install it with choose update package, it said something about couldn't verify carrier or something like that.
Haven't tried it in recovery mode after restart, but I was worried if that might have a bad effect on the device. I have not unlocked bootloader myself, never done it before.

No problem bro. Yes, you have to unlock bootloader with mi unlock and then use mi flash for flashing rom from here: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
Choose "last europe"
It is miui 12, Android 10, but then you receive ota update or download recovery update version from web.
In mi flash you can choose "clean all & lock" option, i have done same procedure for my device. Cheers.

VF is different from Global or EEA, so package doesn't match in update app

Well, this really blows. I set up an account fine, logged in with MiUnlock, tried to unlock, it threw an error 1004. Tried again, told me to associate this device and number in developer settings. I did that, tried again, and it said "Try again 168 hours later, not earlier or you'll wait from scratch"...
This sucks.
I don't get it at all. Everything seemed fine. Is there really nothing I can do?
I'm almost tempted to just return the phone if I can't.

It is normal, Xiaomi requests 170 hours generally for unlocking

But it was with some sort of error message, is this normal?
If it's normal and I just need to try in a week, then ok, but if there's something else, I might as well return it since no telling when VF will release firmware, and I wasn't told it was VF-branded on purchase.
I also get something about "SMS_DOWNLINK_REACHED", if that matters, but it didn't seem to affect the Mi account or the developer options "add account to device".

You have to wait a week, yes. Seller should say if it is a branded VF device. If you don't want to wait you can return it. In my case i have paid 420 EUR, so i choose to unbrand it by myself.
I advice you to read some guide online for unlocking etc
Message in "mi flash" is normal, you have to use "mi unlock" before. They are different programs

Yeah, I know they're different, this message is from Mi Unlock Tool, I followed the steps on Xiaomi's DL site for it, i.e. create and confirm a Mi account on the phone, download the tool, log in with the account, boot the phone in safeboot mode, try unlocking, llink the phone and number with developer options, etc.
If it's normal, then that's good and I didn't mess something up. All that's left is to wait and see if it works in a week.
Thanks a lot for the help, I hope this works out eventually!
