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)

It's a modified version of the Chinese ROM. It's not the official global ROM from Xiaomi.

Any way to update from global stable to this one without wiping all my apps, I still have to wait a few days to unlock my device officially.

This is my first miui device, using miflash, I cant select the .zip file as it's not a fastboot image.
How did you manage to flash the .zip with fastboot flashing ?

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.

I was able to find the first MIUI 9 Stable (non-developer) global build for Mix 2.
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.1.1.0.NDEMIEI/miui_MIMIX2Global_V9.1.1.0.NDEMIEI_232bee13eb_7.1.zip
Caveat is, I think it's actually older than the most recent developer build.

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.

@duraaraa you can get me link Redmi note 4 QUALCOMM global dev rom daily update? (no weekly)
Hi. I've seen a few articles about MIUI 10 Global stable coming to Mi Mix. Does anyone have an idea when it will be released via OTA, if at all? According to article in link it should have been released last week. Thanks!
http://en.miui.com/thread-3832387-1-1.html
I have been running the Global Beta version of MIUI 10 for some time on my Mix and I saw the Global Stable was available. I knew that because I wasnrt on the Global Stable I wouldnt get the OTA update so I flashed to the Stable version of MIUI 9 using V9.6.2.0.OAHMIFD and by the time that my phone rebooted the notification for the OTA to Global Stable MIUI 10 or 10.0.1.0 OAHMIFH was already there and I downloaded it right then and there with no issues. Hope that helps.

Ok. Thanks. I've been checking updates but nothing yet. Guess it will be soon. How do you like it? Is the camera any better? Supposed to be some AI improvements.

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?

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.
I recently installed MIUI 12.0.2.0 my redmi k20 pro from http://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.0.2.0.QFKINXM/miui_RAPHAELININGlobal_V12.0.2.0.QFKINXM_f009b4b446_10.0.zip . Since this isn't the official way to update the miui version I doubt whether I'd be getting the offical OTA updates that Xiaomi will push in the future or I have to regularly download the latest version from https://www.xda-developers.com/download-miui-12-stable-update-rolling-out-several-xiaomi-redmi-mi-poco-devices/ thread. I am using a xiaomi device for the first time so I dont have any idea about this.
Did you install the .zip through the Updater app? The update has been rolled out, hence why you were able to download the .zip and if you updated through the Updater app you will get future OTA updates.

Many XDA threads and other reputable resources link to the official MIUI downloads.
The link above is the official link for the 12.0.2 India recovery ROM. It might not be the "normal" way to update, it is still an official way to update. You will still get the normal OTA updates.
If you have flashed this with custom recovery, ota may not work. Otherwise, it should get ota and update normally.

Hey everyone,
I have a OnePlus 10 Pro on a test build ROM, but I want to flash the official retail build on it.
Any specific thread recommendations?
Thank you!
Just use Oxygen Updater and OPLocalUpgrade.apk and you're good to go.
I'll check those out, thank you!
And, my apologies, it is the NE2217, not the NE2215.
Looking at Oxygen Updater though... It says it is unsupported.
Also, OPLocalUpgrade.apk doesn't install either.
That's because you already have it.
Maybe you need to download the rollback package and manually install it. There is an article about that I. Oxygen updater posts.
Thanks for the reply. Mind posting the article link?
I'll give that a shot when I can.
OxygenOS 13 (C.20) comes to the stable track for 10 Pro
Full ZIP links are available, so you can update ASAP. Rollback instructions are towards the end.
oxygenupdater.com
Read It carefully, flash the rollback package to android 12, from there you can update back to android 13
