Hello all.
SM-G965U, was AT&T but now unlocked for Fi. In the US.
Build: R16NW.G965USQS3BRJ6
Security Patch: Nov 1
What do I need to do to get back to the OTA schedule? I'm presuming its to flash onto an unlocked ROM but I can't work out exactly which thread I need to be following to make that happen.
That is the newest update until they release Pie. You can manually flash a beta version of Pie or sign up for the beta program.

Hi Electroz,
I'm still showing 'no update available' even with unlocked US apparently getting the update. Is there anything else I have to do? :/

Wait a few days, the rollout might not be instantaneous
It's unlocked but still run the same AT&T branded firmware. All AT&T phone requires an ATT sim card and in US to receive OTA. It looks like you are on Fi so you need to get an active ATT sim from a friend to receive update.
What is the alternative to flashing some sort of generic ROM instead? Specifically what ROM would I need?
you need firmware version SM-G965USQU3CSAB THATS THE PIE UPDATE . it rebrands based on sim card so you wil be branded tmobile on project fi . here the thread with the link u want https://downloadmirror.co/2CXl/G965USQU3CSAB_G965UOYN3CSAB_CCT.zip

Thanks. I think I'm actually going to go with SM-G965U1 G965U1UEU3CSA8 because I don't believe you get any carrier features with Fi, even if it piggybacks on Tmobile anyway.
Hey guys, i've come across some bugs while installing the RMX1921EX_11_C.02 version from the Indian site to my phone and i would like some clarifications or help if someone faced those and overcame them.
- To begin with let me start by saying that I bought a global Realme XT with the firmware being RMX1921EX_11_A.05.
- I then managed to brick cyclops the device by trying to install RMX1921EX_11_A.10. Phone wouldn't boot, stuck on the Realme black/white logo.
- I managed to install RMX1921EX_11_A.06 through recovery and sd card.
- Then I downloaded from the Indian support site and installed through file manager the version RMX1921EX_11_C.02.
Now, on this version everything seems to work ok minus some bugs:
- Phone gets a bit laggy sometimes
- Brightness in automatic mode is not working
- Software update through settings won't work. Crashes a while after opening
- Battery life seems affected, won't last anyway near to what it was on RMX1921EX_11_A.05
So my question is, has anyone experienced any of those and found a solution to the bugs?
Also, is there anyway to obtain and roll back to the original stock rom RMX1921EX_11_A.05 from the beginning and then wait for the official OTA update?
Thank you in advance
Are you sure your phone firmware is RMX1921EX_11_A.05. (India version) not RMX1921EUEX (global version)?
If your firmware is India version, you should be able to unlock the bootloader and install twrp.

Yes, absolutely sure but im confused as RMX1921EX_11_A.05. is supposed to India version which my phone had but then the place i bought it was advertised as the global version and also i didn't receive the official ota update through the phone's update settings (and supposedly having the indian version). Seriously, realme's firmware naming and distribution is so confusing and impractical. but let's say i indee have the indian version, what does unlocking the bootloader and installing twrp mean? how will that help me and are there any cons into doing that? Thanks man
unlock the bootloader you can root the phone

My XT is was some as the global version. But from what I'm reading this says I'm using the Indian version? But I have NFC. This is so confusing. Bought this phone thinking I could unlock and root.
This confusing but normal. I bought two EU phones with NFC. One for me and one for my girlfriend. She is still on RMX1921EX_11_A.05.
I updatet my Phone to A.06 and when i look in phonedetails is called RMX1921EX_11_A.06.
I read that A.05 can be unlocked in the other thread. I would test this by myself, but yeah i don't want drama with my girlsfriends phone.
So i don't touch it

India version comes with no NFC. You can try Depth test apk , it won't hurt your phone even you pass it. Let us know if your global version can pass it or not.

Brother I sincerely thank you for point out that to me!! Much appreciated!!
Hi all,
So please excuse me because I'm a massive noob. I'd appreciate it if you spoke to me like someone who has no idea what to do (because I don't!)
I bought a Mi 10 recently and it's on the Global Rom version 11.0.4. I've tried downloading Miui 12(multiple variants) and installing them through the 'Choose update package' in Settings but it always tells me it can't verify the update because it is lower security patch than what I have atm
How can I upgrade to Miui 12? Can someone explain it to me? Do I need to download in install the EU rom on this Mi 10?
P.s. I also would like to get a dual SIM tray and get dual SIM functionality, how can I also do that? Is that with the EU rom?
Thanks guys!

If u wanna dual SIM u must open bootloader and then install xiaomi.eu version of MIUI. Global version dont support dual SIM.
You shouldn't have to manually download the update when you first get the phone. There should be a waiting OTA update to MIUI 12.0.1 when you check for updates. Failing that, you can install the Fastboot update using the MiFlash tool.
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
Check weekly builds on xiaomi eu website
Probably your device is branded. I have mi 10 EEA with android 11 and miui 12 v. 12.2.4

How do you mean? It's imported from the Netherlands and not locked to any carrier or anything, as far as I can tell. Hmm.

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.

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!
