Upgrade to Android Pie 9 beta rom now W/O unlocking bootloader - Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

IMPORTANT: First,you have to update to latest oreo beta rom first. Then updater app will ask to update to pie.
Yeah, you saw that right. we can upgrade to Android 9 pie right now but it's beta version. Although there is no problem I'm facing using it as a daily driver.
And i have locked bootloader.
Although,there is a catch. You might not able to rollback to stable version before Xiaomi release stable pie version because of ARB policy.
Here is the process:
First you must be updated to latest stable version.
Now follow the link below and download the latest Oreo 8.1 beta Recovery rom file:
https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/sakura/
Its important to chose right version between them, or else, it's not going to work.
Now open update from settings, tap on miui10 logo 10 times. You should see more options on three dot menu up right.
Select "Choose Update Package" and select the rom file and install that.
Note: Your all data will be wiped
After successful install, check for update and you should get latest PIE update.
Update it and you are done!
Note: You can't install pie rom directly from stable as Android version is different.
Enjoy latest Android pie in you awesome Redmi 6 Pro until it's stable version released. After release,you can change to stable pie by following same process. You'll get regular update in beta rom as beta rom releases weekly.

What about battery and performance. Same as miui 9 or better ?

Sorry bro doesn't work at all. You can only do it by fastboot.

I see. Maybe they don't allow to flash oreo beta build as it's way too old now.
Nothing to do if you don't unlock then.

Here is the latest version running now.
And it's much stable and better than before.

Beta rom build number is given this way by xiaomi..

9 for 2019
3 for march &
21 is the release date.

Guide: Reverse-engineering Xiaomi OTA Updates to Find Unreleased Versions

This is something I've been looking into in order to find newer, older, and unreleased updates for the Mi Mix 2.
Ideally, I'd like to figure out a way to get Xiaomi's nightly builds, which go out to only beta testers. I think I'm close, but any help I can get would be awesome.
I currently have two methods. One of them is rather difficult, the other is rather easy. Let's start with the easy one.
Method 1: Example 1
http://update.miui.com/updates/mi-updateV6.php?v=MIUI-7.9.21&c=7.1&d=chiron_global&b=X
This is a URL which asks for an update to the unreleased MIUI 9 7.9.21 global edition.
If you visit this URL, you get the following response:
Code:
{"UserLevel":9,"LatestVersion":{"type":"rom","device":"chiron_global","name":"XM-MIMIX2-GLOBAL 7.9.21","description":"MIUI\u5347\u7ea7","descriptionUrl":"http:\/\/update.miui.com\/updates\/updateinfo\/7.9.21\/chiron_global_0_7.9.21_4494ccfcc506caca9904efb74b489e0a.html","md5":"7f94ca393fae77c6171e6c7a551bea2e","filename":"miui_MIMIX2Global_7.9.21_7f94ca393f_7.1.zip","filesize":"1.6G","codebase":"7.1","version":"7.9.21","branch":"X"},"UpdateList":[{"type":"rom","device":"chiron_global","name":"XM-MIMIX2-GLOBAL 7.9.21","description":"","descriptionUrl":"http:\/\/update.miui.com\/updates\/updateinfo\/7.9.21\/chiron_global_0_7.9.21_4494ccfcc506caca9904efb74b489e0a.html","md5":"7f94ca393fae77c6171e6c7a551bea2e","filename":"miui_MIMIX2Global_7.9.21_7f94ca393f_7.1.zip","filesize":"1.6G","codebase":"7.1","version":"7.9.21","branch":"X"}],"IncrementalUpdateList":[],"MirrorList":["http:\/\/bigota.d.miui.com"],"Signup":{"version":"","total":"","rank":""},"AuthResult":0,"ForceUpdate":0
We can piece together looking at this that the update file can be downloaded at:
http://bigota.d.miui.com/7.9.21/miui_MIMIX2Global_7.9.21_7f94ca393f_7.1.zip
Method 1 Example 2
It was announced today that there was a new Chinese stable release pushed only to some phones called 8.5.7.0.NDECNEF. We can modify the parameters in the URL to get this:
http://update.miui.com/updates/mi-updateV6.php?v=MIUI-V8.5.7.0.NDECNEF&c=7.1&d=chiron&b=S
This returns the following:
Code:
{"UserLevel":9,"LatestVersion":[],"UpdateList":[{"type":"rom","device":"chiron","name":"XM-MIMIX2 V8.5.7.0.NDECNEF","description":"","descriptionUrl":"http:\/\/update.miui.com\/updates\/updateinfo\/V8.5.7.0.NDECNEF\/chiron_0_V8.5.7.0.NDECNEF_a9374e7e6aa4f38a22fd58aae29337ce.html","md5":"487f34ee14e84d0eb9ed280a059bcc65","filename":"miui_MIMIX2_V8.5.7.0.NDECNEF_487f34ee14_7.1.zip","filesize":"1.4G","codebase":"7.1","version":"V8.5.7.0.NDECNEF","branch":"F"}],"IncrementalUpdateList":[],"MirrorList":["http:\/\/bigota.d.miui.com"],"Signup":{"version":"","total":"","rank":""},"AuthResult":0,"ForceUpdate":0}
And that lets us know that the update can be found at:
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V8.5.7.0.NDECNEF/miui_MIMIX2_V8.5.7.0.NDECNEF_487f34ee14_7.1.zip
So now that we see that we have a way to query for downloads, let's look into some of the parameters.
At a minimum we need the following:
v=MIUI-V8.5.7.0.NDECNEF - This is the version with which you are querying.
c=7.1 - This is the build of Andoid. It's Android 7.1 so we put 7.1
d=chiron - This is the device. For Chinese Mix 2 firmwares it's chiron. For global it's chiron_global
You might also notice this:
b=S - S means stable. X means weekly. Actually, there is a whole list as follows, but not sure how accurate it is:
Code:
«S» — monthly build
«X» — weekly build
«D» — daily build
«E» — emegency build
«F» — stable build
«A» — experimental build
«I» — internal build
«T» — top secret build
«U» — unstable build
On top of this, there are more possible parameters. I will get around to these when talking about Method 2.
Right now, I can't access anything but weekly and stable builds, so there are not really any undiscovered/unannounced/internal builds that I've been able to find. But I think we are on the right track to being able to find them. I'm hoping that other people can continue looking using this information, and we'll see if we can find anything. Stay tuned while I update this post with Method 2, which is much more complex and much more likely to yield results.

Isn't this link (http://bigota.d.miui.com/7.9.21/miui_MIMIX2Global_7.9.21_7f94ca393f_7.1.zip) global miui 9?
I say because Chinese dev rom (miui 9) is the same miui version (7.9.19 which is a lower firmware number)

I used sdat2img.py to convert the system data to something flashable. Then I looked up which partitions need to be flashed where by checking a flash-all.bat file, and followed that format using fastboot to flash each partition.
But... there's no reason to flash this. It's not a public release and it doesn't really do anything better than other choices. I think flashing xiaomi.eu is a better choice.

The global dev builds will always be newer and include the most recent bug fixes and security patches, so that's no surprise the stable was built before any of the recent developer ROMs.

Upgrade to Pie Global Beta from Global stable (locked bl)

Is it possible? I could on Mix 2s easily via recovery.
It is possible. You have to download the latest Oreo based beta version, which is MIUI 8.9.7, and install this package via the software update section in the settings. Once you are on the Oreo beta, you'll get the newest beta via the software updater.

I can confirm that it works. Started from Global stable 10.0.3.0, flashed the global beta 8.9.7 and then updated to beta 8.10.25 and the last step was to beta 10.11.2

Hi @ricpicpr, what is best way to run Global beta, with twrp and root? In my theory is the always before install new beta, flash back stock boot.img, than install update and than again flash twrp and root. Is it correct?

Well im trying to understand this, because since my Mi8 is unlocked and rooted for the first time i have to update it with the weekly update. I received OTA notification and i have downloaded the OTA update (8.12.7) but when i confirm to Updater to apply the weekly update my phone restarted in twrp and the update failed. So yes maybe the way is to restore the original recoevery, flash the last weekly version and then flash twrp and root (with magisk in my case): I don't like very this, a bit too complicated but for now i can't imagine better and shorter ways

If you have TWRP, you can just install the FULL ROM ZIP of betas or stable and flash with TWRP without issues. Just download them from the official XIAOMI website. You cannot install the incremental updates that come from the internal ROM updater software. It only downloads the difference in the ROM versions, and it will fail because files that need patched have changed and fail the validation process. You might have to re-root and install the recovery after you flash.

I'm worried about coming back from beta to stable. As I read on web with ARB u can't make downgrade (from newest version to older). So in my theory is possible to came back from beta to stable just in one case and that is little bit...
Example:
Last beta version was released on sunday 15.5.2018
Last stable version WILL/WAS be relesed thursday 19.5.2018
So u have 2 days for make jump from beta to stable because on next sunday 22.5.2018 will be released another beta which will be again newest than last stable version or dont make any update of beta after release stable version.
Ofcourse I can be wrong

Uhm...i think the ARB check the Android version only. So if you are on Pie you can't go back to Oreo. Only this

After brushing into the Chinese version, you should brush into the magisk to prevent BL from being locked

Compared to .eu ROMs, which one is more stable and fast?
Both are fast without bugs..but .eu ROMs are much better because they are cleaned..dont have Chinese Trash...many services that dont work outside China are there and u dont need and cant use them..the only advantage that Chinese rom have is incremental Ota..eu.rom need to update with full rom...i back to eu rom after 1 ir 2 days
I tried the china stable before tryig the eu version.
My impressions:
- More fluid animations (especially gestures)
- A lot of bloatware (most of it can be disabled, but not all, like the mi store, mi wallet or the assistant)
- Never saw any ads
- You can install Google play with a few clicks, but it's not as integrated as in the eu rom
- OTA incremental easy updates
- Faster updates
I still would like to go back to the china stable for two reasons: Faster updates, less bugs.
But Mi flash and QFIL didn't work on my device (MI A2 with ARB4) I don't know if you can force the flash with TWRP. If you find a way please let me know.
Hope it helps

So you're wanting to switch to official MIUI that has ads and bloatware over using the builds from xiaomi.eu which the point of xioami.eu is it being the exact same thing as official MIUI but with all the garbage removed? Why?

Security patches: eea vs eu

I am starting to be a little disappointed on the frequency of security patches for my eea mi 9... Is this substantially better on xiaomi.eu?
On the latest Xiaomi.eu we are running the September Security Patch
I think that Xiaomi is waiting for the release of Android Q to update the security patches
It's pretty odd that the mi9 SE has been sitting on MIUI 10.3 with july security patch for 2 weeks now while the mi 9 is stuck on june SP with miui 10.2. Basically the cheaper version is getting updated faster, so I guess they have some additional bugs to fix on the mi 9.
Well if they would fix idle battery drain I'd be happy with waiting...

Cool thanks. I will flash tonight. .
What's the latest EU Q build and is it relatively safe to dirty flash and not wipe ?

Latest EU Q is supposed to be 9.8.22 (eu versions read as 2019.August.22, I've learnt that recently)
> Wiping is MANDATORY
> Backup using Titanium Backup only, not TWRP
> I suggest using TWRP 3.3.1-41 and using F2FS conversion in one go

Being a lazy guy I always do dirty flashes. Coming from Global Dev (9.6.27) I simply flashed Xiaomi.EU (9.8.10 Android Q) over. Since then upgraded to 9.8.15 and now 9.8.22. Runs like charm.
Of course, recommendation always is 'clean flash'. But this one can still do in case a dirty flash doesn't work, isn't it?
Cheers
Toscha

Yes you can use it as a daily driver for sure, there a few minor bugs but they doesn't affect your daily experience
I switched on another ROM only because I can't use the Google passwords autofill in third applications (outside of Chrome I mean)
Thanks All who replied. I am now running on EU Q ROM appears perfectLy stable and I love the enhanced dark mode that forces some apps without dark mode to look like dark mode.
As my boot loader was locked, unlocking wiped the phone so a dirty flash was not relevant or required

Unlocking my boot loader wiped the phone but glad to hear I can dirty flash future Q builds
It's quite obvious why this is happening. The Mi 9 is going to be one of the first phones in the world with Android Q, so it's obvious they are just developing for it, and stopped patching for Android Pie.
After all, this is a flagship, they will want to showcase Android Q on it as soon as possible.
I've got August security patch with 10.2.30 on EEA
Changelog of 10.2.30

11.0.3.0 Mi9T Pro OTA update

Does anyone else received this update on the Mi9T Pro? I have an EEA version and the update just popped up today. It looks like the update to Android 10 and miui 11 in one go. Just wanted to know if anyone else installed this. The current version is good enough for me now not keen on the update, specially if it brings bugs.

Yes, me too, going to install it later today, when I'm off work, make sure you do a full twrp backup first.
Yes, I saw on a facebook group that some EU users already got it. But no feedbacks yet.
Still no OTA for global the version.
Here is the link for the EEA update.

Just got it too. Will install shortly.
i've updated it. How can i disable vibration after i kill app from recents?
Installed and rooted via patched image a few hours ago and everything is working smoothly. The setting menu is much more streamlined and the fingerprint scanner works much better now! I haven't installed TWRP since I don't know which version works, maybe someone here can share which version works for them.
Can install this on Global Rom (Bootloader locked)?

Wait for the official Global update. Flashing different versions can seriously mess up your phone.
Guys, i'm on MIUI Global 10.3.3.0 (Stable) right now with an unlocked Bootloader & root (twrp & Magisk).
When the MIUI 11 update arrives (Germany), can i just OTA update or do i have to do something specific?
Excuse my bad english, lol.

And this is why people get "hacked" and their data stolen.
Update your device, especially if it comes from official channels!
I understand that you are a little reluctant to install it, but rest assured, I have been a beta tester for miui 11 for this device, they have squashed lots of bugs.
Downloaded and installed ?

First I would like to thank you your comment and advice. I was planning to upgrade but not just yet. However I don't think you would have to be that drastic and your comment may also scare others.(don't have to be a scaremonger) No one will hack my device or steal my data just because I wait on an update?!!
I have already tested miui11 on my prev k20pro and I found lots of bugs. I know this is an official update, but we all know this can still be full of bugs. I do like xiaomi (otherwise I wouldn't buy the mi9t pro) specially because they provide frequent updates. However this isn't my first xiaomi device and taking my previous experience with buggy updates I just wanted to be extra careful before rolling out the update, mainly because my BL is locked and couldn't flash the downgrade immediately if I find the new version unusable.
Luckily others already provided positive feedbacks so I'm sure I will do the update shortly.

Does it really have a battery drain issue? I am very hesitant to update it because the current version is giving me a very good SOT.

based on my exp, if you using twrp you must clean (wipe system and data) install the miui 11 zip file because miui 10 and miui 11 are different android based. will be much problem if you just flash the zip file without wipe the data partition.

So what you're saying is that your experience is very poor or null.
