Here's the full description of my problem.
I wanted to install a custom ROM, so I applied for permission to unlock. I obtained the permission about a month ago, and then the problems began.
First off, I'm not able to bind my account to my device under developer options. It shows error 80612 and some Chinese characters. When I try to unlock, it stops at 99%and says the account is not bound to device. I tried all the solutions listed on mi forums, but to no avail. The only solution left was to install developer ROM and try from there
Here comes the second problem. When I try to install it from updater app, it says I'm only allowed to install stable versions. So I tried to install via recovery. When I boot into recovery, just shows an image of phone and asks me to connect to PC suite. No options are shown, no way to navigate. I can only reboot by pressing power button. So I tried installing PC suite and connecting my phone, but the software refuses to recognise my phone, either says to connect phone via USB(which I did) or tells me to update phone to use suite (phone is on latest stable version)
This is like a roadblock to me. These many problems should not be existing in a ROM, especially when they claim to be developer friendly. It's almost like Xiaomi doesn't want people to unlock their phones. Please someone help me with this. Pics will be provided as requested.
Edit: I tired installing older versions of developer and even tried downgrading the stable version via updater app, but failed, showing error that i can't install anything other than stable and that i can't install older versions respectively
Bro firstly you have to install the developer ROM and yeah it shows the error that you can only install stable ROM
Solution = just download the oldest available developer ROM and then download the newest developer ROM
Flash the oldest zip first with the updater app the developer ROM will get flashed, boot it up but don't set it up completely. After you're in the system again go to the updater app then flash the newest developer ROM
Once all this is done setup all the necessary info on the newest beta build
Go to the MIUI forums , fill up all your info, next go to the MIUI forums on your windows PC and check that if all the info as you filled up in your device is there or not, if it's there then you're on the right track
Next check is the MI cloud services are activated or not, if they are active then go to MI cloud on your PC and just click on find device, if it exactly locates your device then you're all done.
The MIUI forums play a major role in unlocking the bootloader so make sure all your info is there and you browse then for quite a while.
Then just try to unlock your bootloader it'll surely work. ?
Attempting right away
Still the same error
You did all of the things that I wrote right
Got stopped at flashing the oldest developer ROM. It still shows the error that I can't install anything other than stable versions
Blocked at first step itself. Can't flash the older ROM too via updater app. Still shows the error that i can't install anything other than newer stable versions
You tried the oldest available global developer ROM right ?
Yes. I even tried downgrading the stable version. Even that didn't work
Bro try this - Update to the latest global stable ROM then test flashing the oldest global developer ROM . I hope it works for ya
That's what I did in the first step. I'm on the latest global stable. After your suggestion, I tired installing the oldest global developer. Same error
Ok I'll see what I can do to help you now cause your problem is getting pretty strange. ?
Hello from Australia,
I recently purchased the Redmi Note 4 (Global) and absolutely love it! After owning iPhone for the last 8 yrs I am finding it very refreshing. I am looking forward to being part of this Android community
My questions is this - I am very keen on rooting the device but have also found that there is a pending update to 8.5.4.0 (Miui) and 7.0 (Nougat). Will I still be able to root it after I update and if so where is the best guide for me to do this?
Many thanks

yes, you can root it after updating to 7.0. First unlock bootloder. Install twrp recovery. and then flash SuperSu zip.
Note-Dont forget to flash lazyflasher-no-verify-opt zip after flashing twrp or you would go into bootloop.

Hello, and many thanks for your quick reply. Good, I had this guide that I was going to follow but then found out about my pending update:
EDIT - sorry, had to edit the url link as I'm a new user. h t t p ://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=667496
Do you think this is the right steps for me to follow? also, I have never flashed or tweaked an Android phone so don't know how to do the flashing of lazyflasher-no-verify-opt zip. I don't see that in the steps. How exactly do I do that? Do you have a link?
Thank you.

steps given in the guide are almost correct.First unlock bootloader which is the biggest hassle in whole process. Probably you wont be able unlock bootloader in first few tries as mi unlock tool will probably stuck at 99% and show error "account not binded to device".You can wait a few days and try again but i dont think that will work. To solve this problem what i did was-
download miui developer rom version 7.2.16 link-http://bigota.d.miui.com/7.2.16/miui_HMNote4XGlobal_7.2.16_e6eed016d8_6.0.zip
Now go to updater app choose downloaded zip as update package. Now updater would start decrypting it and your phone will be updated to developer rom. Now when on developer rom go to updater app and there will be an ota for latest version, update.Now when on latest developer version try to unlock again using mi unlock tool. I dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me.
Now your bootloader is unlocked, go to mido section in xda forums and download twrp for redmi note 4. To flash twrp recovery, there are many ways. process given in your guide may also work.But what I did was downloaded "mini flasher" link-"https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=25193&task=get" install mini flasher.choose install twrp, browse to the recovery image you downloaded and it will automatically flash it and reboot your phone to recovery.
Now when your phone is in recovery mode coose 'install'
choose the lazyflasher zip file you earlier downloaded. now reboot. again go to recovery install SuperSu zip file(link given your guide) reboot. your phone will probably bootloop one time but dont worry it is fine. now when your phone reboots it is rooted.
Well I sucessfully updated the phone to Nougat and it was very easy.
Now I have tried to unlock the bootloader but keep getting this message:
您所在的IP申请次数超标
I have googled it and it says I have tried too many times from my IP address. But I haven't - this was the first time. I have tried 3 times, with the same result.
Does anyone know how to get around this problem?
Thanks
The nougat update eats to much ram I got only 1.3 GB free ram
You could try Miui 9 beta channel after miui 8.5 update without unlocking or rooting. Just had to download the miui 9 recovery rom package. Place it in folder named downloaded-rom. Backup your imp data before proceeding. Goto the updater app or settings about, tap three dot menu. Choose update and select the downloaded file. It will erase all your data and update to miui 9.
They release updates weekly. And battery backup is outstanding.

Anyone able to help with this? I have read it is a common issue for it to incorrectly say you have had too many attempts but not really any conclusive answer as to how to get around the problem.
I am really keen on unlocking my bootloader. Thanks in advance.
I have Redmi Note 4 MTK, i had my stock ROM MIUI 8 and i wanted to upgrade to MIUI 9. As i did not have official update of it, i downloaded the Global Stable Developer edition for MTK from Xiaomi's website. I flashed it using 'sp flash', since my bootloader was not unlocked earlier. I had to give different 'cust image' file when i had error during flash. I also had to use 'Auto format' before flashing cz i had it stucked without it. But it was then completed successfully. And i had MIUI 9 installed on my device.
The problem was i could not find my IMEI. I kept having error 'Cant get a valid device id'. Even when i checked with *#06# it said 'unable to get IMEI'.
I then unlocked my bootloader to flash with official flash tool of Mi. And i thought i should try another ROM to get it fixed, so i downloaded another latest version of developer ROM and flashed it, this time using Mi's official flashing tool. It didn't help. I thought going back to 'Globle Stable ROM' will fix it so i downloaded that, wiped my phone and flashed again. And it didn't work too.
I am out of options now, guys please. I want to fix it permenantly, don't want to temporarily mask IMEI. Please help guys.
I did it using MauiMETA, found a good tutorial on Xiaomi's forum.
Solved.
Hey! Maybe someone could help me. I got my pocophone today. (Germany. Got the Global Version.)
I'm trying to update but somehow it doesn't let me. The phone shows me that the 10.0.4.0.OEJMIFH update is available. When downloading it just cuts it at some point.
Mostly at 95%. Or it tells me it can't verify it. I then tried to manually download the newest Poco Rom. V10.2.2.0.PEJMIXM. But when trying to update that manually through the updater app, it still tells me that i can't verify. "Sorry, flash to this stable version is not allowed."
Any solutions?
You may have skipped any of the updates.(miui 9 to 10) First update that one and try again.
Wouldn't the updater show me the one I need? And that one doesn't work either. I've now tried to update several manual. And I get the same message time and time again.
It's kinda hard to see which one I could be missing.
Perhaps your vendor installed a fake ROM?
Have you tried the fastboot update method?

Not sure what official site you're referring to but I have used the following without issue. Double check the file sizes/MD5s are the same in case your original download was cut short or something.
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
If still not working, it's possible it may require you to have the previous update installed before it will allow the newest. Try installing 12.5.7 first - and if it doesn't allow that then 12.5.6...

One issue I've personally encountered is that the update dialogue stops showing the option to install from local package. If you see this then select the updater settings from the Recents and clear data then try again.

Thanks sn0uts, 2 days ago i did exactly as you explained: choosing that web site and starting to manually updating into 12.5.6, 12.5.7 and then 13.0.4.
Now the phone is up to date, i still don't know why i've encountered this problem but i have a solution also for future.

Actually, with the app:
MIUI Downloader - Apps on Google Play
MIUI upgrade app for Mi users.
play.google.com
searching through Xiaomi Firmware Updater is easier. The app checks your phone model, your current firmware and points you directly to download your OTA from Xiaomi Firmware Updater.
If you don't want the offered OTA, you can search for the other suitable firmwares for your phone
Even more, it shows you Xiaomi.eu Weekly and Stable ROMs, and TWRP (if applicable)
You can also manually change the phone model and search for another Xiaomi phone
Anyway, it makes searching easier and error-free (newbie, by looking at Xiaomi Firmware Updater, may easily pick a wrong firmware, resulting by bricking his phone)

It does look very useful. However if I wasn't reading a recommendation on XDA and only saw it in the Play Store I might not trust an app with this from the look of it. If it's trustworthy then great.

Actually, they have a useful TG news. Too many things, not everything for everybody but eg, useful info about roadmaps which phones will receive further updates to newer MIUI and Android versions, new phones, new ear buds, etc
If using Xiaomi.eu ROMs, you will usually see a (correct!) changelog for the upcoming weekly an hour or more earlier than posted to Xiaomi.eu forum

I had the same problem and FINALLY I CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION. so... I've downloaded the ROM for V12.5.7.0 and installed it through the Updater app on the phone. After that, you can download the V13.0.4.0 and install it as normal.
I made an account just to help you guys because I was really annoyed that I couldn't update and probably you feel the same way.
Good luck and enjoy your mi11 lite
P.S. my battery went ****ty on the V12.5.5.0, idk about you but I had to recharge it often...hopefully it's not a hardware problem...

What exactly do you mean by "Updater app on the phone"? I am stuck on 12.5.5.0 as well and idk what to do with it. I assume the rom you've downloaded was from MIUI Updates Tracker topic on this board? If so, which one, the Fastboot or the Recovery?
Nevermind, figured it out. Downloaded "MIUI Downloader" app from Google Play, downloaded 1 version higher than ive had. Then, I went to settings -> About phone, clicked version, clicked a few times version logo and additional settings have been enabled. Then Ive clicked the button in top right corner and selected downloaded package. The phone accepted it and installed it. Then I've proceeded with other higher versions.

Sorry for the late reply. My solution was slightly different.
I downloaded the recovery rom (so you can install it from the phone) from a website with original miui roms, placed it in the internal storage, created a folder "downloaded_rom" and then I did exactly like you (settings>about phone>clicked the 3 dots>choose update package).
After that I downloaded the latest rom from c.mi.com and that was it.
I noticed that my problem with the battery was caused by the 12.5.5 rom. Now it's good as new.
I'm glad my post helped you and hopefully will help others as well. Take care!
My phone (bought in germany, EEA-rom) was stuck at "V12.5.6.0.RKIEUXM Enhanced" since the only update I received shortly after bying in December 2021. I could resolve the issue as follows:
In the update tracker thread I verified my build version which was EEA (European) in my case. First I tried to download and install v13.0.4 directly which failed (cannot verify stable update bla bla bla). Then I tried to download and install the version that was closest to mine -> V12.5.7.0.RKIEUXM which I successfully could flash. Directly after booting into 12.5.7 I was offered another update to v13.0.4.
Did anyone have similar issues: phone would not update to latest available version? What could be the reason? Regions and Update schedules? But were now in april 2022 and my phone was still not showing any updates.
I am in Australia and have downloaded the latest firmware for the phone, Renoir, but I can't update it because the option to "choose update package" isn't available on my phone...
I downloaded the update as I am getting the problem of not being able to download the package via my phone...keep getting the error that "something went wrong. Wait a minute or two and try again". This is frustrating
I discovered the fix to my problem... If you can't see the option of selecting a package to update under the 3 dots, click on MIUI logo in the updater several times till you see a message that tells you more features have been enabled.
cheers

Didn't read the whole discussion but noticed fastboot and xiaomi.eu options...those are the best IMHO.
xiaomi.eu updates renoir (weekly or stable) with fastboot option / scripts.
There are also fastboot recoveries (not the same as xiaomi.eu fastboot ROMs, but in case something goes wrong this can help out of bad situation) and regular update ROMs on MIUI tracker just make sure to pick the correct phone/ROM version: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/
