This has been answered and mentioned several times unfortunately. Please use the search function before posting threads
You cannot go from STABLE to BETA without unlocking the bootloader, and you especially cannot do it from the updater. It must be flashed. I'm going to assume that you are trying to "update" to the new version with Android Pie. The Mi Mix 2S just a day or two ago received stable MIUI 10 with 9.0. Be patient and wait for the update for us as it should be arriving soon. Beta versions were intended for developers and for testing purposes and may have bugs. It really is not worth the trouble of unlocking the bootloader and jumping to a test version for a newer version of Android even more so when a "stable" version is just around the corner. Most things will remain unchanged from MIUI 10 based on 8.1.0 to MIUI 10 based on 9.0. People have been bricking their devices due to little experience with Xiaomi smartphones, and it would be terrible to see another one join the list.

How long we wait?

It's global stable rim
Android 8.1
Miui 9.6.6
Model m1803e1a
Bought on eBay all works fine just can't upgrade
If I download a zip file and try to install under system update - choose file it says the this rom isnt valid for carrier type or something like this.

Sorry for the late reply. I believe it may possibly have a vendor ROM. Your phone should have updated over a month ago to MIUI 10. At this point I believe the only solution would be to unlock the bootloader in order to flash the latest version. Unfortunately this takes about 30 days after the unlock is requested.

That's the 3UK version of global.
No updates as of yet,either be patient or unlock bootloader and flash global stable of Pie.

Yes. And to be honest, DO NOT rush for 9.0. There is severe battery drain on 10.2.2.0 and 10.2.3.0. I used to get 6+ hours of SOT (screen on time), on 10.2.2.0 I would get about 5hrs, on the latest 10.2.3.0 I get 4 hours. Others have complained about the same. In my opinion, the added features aren't worth the battery life lost.

We have 3 Mi8's in our house
Personally I am using the Mi-Globe version " globeROM_v10_dipper_9.3.21_cfg" it is fantastic! It has all of the features such as dark mode, AOD options, face unlock, charging animations, the best themes from all over the world and zero ads.
On the other 2 phones we have the official 10.2.3. While its not as good as 9.3.21 the battery life is still about 8 hours SOT.

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.

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.

Is it safe to update to V11.3.4.0PFCMIXM

I need an advice please!
I've just received a new Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite (MIUI Global 10.3.1)
is it safe to update to 11.3.4.0 or it's not a stable version?
Update ?: after wasting this whole couple of days searching and reading forums, it seems that all Xiaomi's updates for "Mi 9 Lite" are full of bugs and issues, so I'm going to stick with the old (Global MIUI 10.3.1) Version.
it's the first & the last time i buy a Xiaomi phone. ?
they don't give a sh** about their customers.

I'm using MIUI 11.0.2 (Android 10 with April Google bug fixes) on T-Mobile in the US and VoWiFi and VoLTE are both working great. There are a few bugs, but nothing preventing me from doing anything I need to do. The biggest one I have is file managers (built in and third party) crashing trying to render certain thumbnails.

Yes, I have the same version. My screen looks exactly the same. 11.0.2.0(QFCMIXM) which corrresponds to the global version.

MIUI 12 IS COMING TO OUR DEVICE YO!, wdyt ahout miui 12?

For me miui 12 is better than the older miui 11. Miui 12 have a cool UI design(i hope smooth too)
Here's list of cool improvement MIUI 12
1. New Animation
MIUI 12 supports Android 10’s quick change app gestures. I think some animations are really annoying punch
2. Sumperman
3. Control panel
If you don’t like this style, don’t worry. There is a setting for you to return to the old style. Unfortunately it doesn’t support functional Android notifications in 2 interfaces.
4. Floating Window
This may be the biggest feature of MIUI 12. You can open applications on the screen small and fix them to the corners. In fact, similar features are available on OneUI and Android 10/11. MIUI developers have developed the floating bubble app that came with Android 10 a bit more.
Pull down the application suspension notification and instantly transform into a quick small window. Drag a small window to the side to transform into a small window. Know everything, chat for a day without delay.

I'm pretty scared of it can be laggier than the previous versions...

I installed MIUI 12 (Xiaomi.EU) on my Redmi Note 7 and it's very laggy, animations are cool but slow on our device. I hope this problem gets fixed on Stable MIUI 12 but I don't think so.

Hi guys, why Miui 12 beta isn't for our device? Developer is stopping, anyone know why?

Tried xiaomi.eu's version av MIUI12 for lavender and it was the laggiest ROM I have yet to experience. Was utterly unusable... Went straight back to my favourite MIUI11 (20.1.21 beta). WAY BETTER. Will wait and see if MIUI12 will ever be suitable for RMN7...

Because they've used the 20.4.27 build (lagging, a video on Chrome will crash your systemUI, randomly) instead of the 20.4.28 (which has some bugs, random reboot included, but way better than the previous build), i've installed back MIUI 11, actually (13/05/20) the untouched China Beta of MIUI 12 works better than the Xiaomi EU build.

I don't really know, maybe (both are based on China Dev, maybe you can), you'll surely have some apps/services broken, if you're unlucky your device will not boot at all, a clean installation is better (actually a mandatory) in this case, in my opinion.
If you wanna risk and try please report your results here, maybe other users are interested

I'm honestly disappointed with the frequency of rn7 updates. Very sloppy work by xiaomi. They focus on selling and don't support sold phones so much. Typical Chinese business style.

Yes, i'm a fan of this brand but they're just bad with uodates, i had all of the Mi A series devices (A1, A2 and A3), Android One project from Xiaomi is the worse thing you can actually buy, at least they care about MIUI, but After the Redmi sub brand the situation is terrible, few uodates, slow Major releases, higher prices (device by device, at least in EU), let's see if Xiaomi will be the new Huawei.

Question still firmware global 12.5.1 no update?

hey !! just got my mi 11 and love it ,i change my s21 ultra for it.
better screen and very much more smooth then the galaxy (my opinion)
my question is i saw thers a new firmware for global 12.5.3 but i still got the 12.5.1 why i didnt got the update ?
im from israel and got the global version. does it takes times to get the firmware ?
thx !!!

There is a Chinese version upgrade, but I think global is still 12.5.1.

go here:
[Firmware] Xiaomi Mi 11 [venus] [Auto updated!]
Xiaomi custom users face a problem with firmware updates. As there are many devices with no one to provide the newest firmware update every single release, and developers who provide updates to devices may forget or be busy sometimes, so releases...
forum.xda-developers.com
and update it yourself

the eu version is still on 12.5.1.0
welcome to xiaomi where a new device gets updates every now and than or maybe never

Whats in the new update that makes you want it?

well you can have that experience (frequent updates) on your xiaomi by switching to xiaomi.eu weekly ROM
but surely not all of those monthly pixel updates were good? some of them had to have had annoying bugs which made the whole experience somewhat sour
stock phone hardware and software is so good now (for the most part) that there really is no need to update them so often (excluding the security patches)
just enjoy the phone as is - Mi 11 is blazing fast + feature rich and, at least I, find no need to have it updated regularly (especially after MIUI 12.5. update released recently)
the only feature I wish for on my Mi 11 is the option to choose 90Hz refresh rate in settings (without having to download 3rd party apps to do so)
120Hz is kinda overkill and just drains the battery much faster - 90Hz would be a happy medium between 60 and 120Hz on offer in MIUI

12.5.2 is out.

What is your Build Code ? 12.5.1.0.RKBEUXM ? or 12.5.1.0.RKBMIXM
If you have EUXM it's a EEE/EEA (European Version) and it's actually the lastest build.
If you have MIXM it's a Global (International Version) and actually 12.5.3.0 is the lastest build.
So depending yourRegion Code, you can download the Fastboot ROM and install local update easily.
My Mi 11 Claud White was EUSF (because an EU custom by my carrier) and i have unblock Bootloader (waiting 168 Hours - [1 week]) and migrate on MIXM Glabal International for have more recent update.
I have tried also Xiaomi.eu ROMS (Chinese ROMS custom / Translated) but thez have a lot of bugs (MMS don't work, Black Theme issues, Theme Manager in Chinese / Google Translate, Some Google Apps unstable like Phone)
