Hey all,
I'm in China and having some issues with my China Mobile branded Mi3. I don't think I have a fake from the vids and posts I've read, but here are some screenshots from CPUZ. The internal storage numbers appear to be bugged as the phone shows much more available space when connected to my laptop. Anyway, my main issues are not being able to update Android with the stock software (update button just takes me to home screen), and unable to flash the latest stable ROM via recovery (gets to 98% and says error applying update). I'd like to get updated so I can download Google Installer for my contacts and notes...it seems CM removed Mi Market for their own version. The ROM I tried was the latest stable TD version from the MIUI forums and I wasn't able to get much help there. Thanks for any advice.
Alright, giving this one last bump! Seems the xiaomi.eu forums are rather active in updating the China version of the Mi3 roms, but I can't seem to register there. Anyone mind taking a look at this thread and confirming that 4.6.27 is safe for the TD/Pisces Mi3 and that I just need to do a wipe through recovery before flashing that rom?

Hi,
today I got my MI5 (32GB-Version) from UUonline with the chin./engl. ROM (MIUI 7.2.6.0 (MAACNDB) | Stable). My device is already locked (request for unlocking I have done but stilll dont have permission). This installed ROM is horrible! Without Playstore (OK, I knew), many chinese Apps, lots of chinese notifications, WLAN "without" connection, ... and last but not least: chinese keyboard which I cant chenge (dont speak chinese .
I tried to install the chin. DEV with the Updater. But I got the following error: "Unfortunately, Updater has stopped". I downloaded all the availlable ROMs from MIUI (stable/dev/global/chinese // 6.8.12 / 6.8.18 / 7.5.2.0 / 8.0.3.0) - but everytime the same error.
So I tried to do it with this MI PCSuite" (latest Version). It takes some time and at the end I get the message, that I first have to update my device before I can use this piece of s(oftware). What a great idea!!! Therefor I try to use this "joke".
At the end I tried to use MI Flash with FB. But, as expected, it quits with the error "device locked".
If anybody has an idea/hint on how to get rid of this f*** ROM that I can atleast use this phone in engish (later I want to install german / sMIUI after having unlocked), I really would be very happy. It drives me crazy and I tried now hours and hours.
Anybody here who has the same problem or better: solved this problem or knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks so much ...

Hi all,
I encountered this problem since the very first day I got my device.
At first, I thought is the bug of official ROM, the ROM running is MIUI 7 global stable.
After few times update, the problem still the same.
My device is running MIUI 8 global stable at this moment, and I still have this problem.
I tried to post my question on MIUI official forum but still I cant get a solution.
I tried reset and reflash the ROM, but still cannot solve my problem.
Is there any solution from guys from XDA ? Besides flash my device to custom ROM.
hi guys.
i just got a mi 8 .. i'm on 9.5 and when i check for updates i only get 10.0.3.0 oreo ..
should i install it or can i download pie stable rom and manually update it ?

Which phone? (China, Intl, Global, etc)
Are you Bootloader Unlocked?
What is your goal for your phone, do you plan on unlocking, flashing, etc?

it's a global version .
i don't know if the bootloader unlocked or not
i don't plan to flash custom roms or root right now
10.0.3.0 is the latest update you can get via OTA on Mi8 Global edition devices with Global Stable Roms. But beware that Ok Google is not working at all no matter what, headphone volumes are low and face id is not available unless you change your region to countries like as far as I know Georgia, China, India, Kong, screen colors are a bit washed out compared to other amoled phones, camera has noise especially for photos taken in low light conditions.
Some people on 10.0.2.0( i never had this version since it skipped directly to 10.0.3.0 for me) claimed that they got an OTA for 10.1.1.0 (which you can manually flash and update to without unlocking the bootlader bycsimply downloading and renaming the file to 'update.zip' via the built in miui updater on your phone) but reports on Miui forums claim that it has the same problems of 10.0.3.0 if not worse which most people commented that they would try to go back since they wished never did it.)
I personally am waiting for an OTA update till new year. If a fix is not released by than I am selling this chinese bazaar phone which I am not happy coz of the above explaoned issues since the day I bought this, i never got what i paid for.
Long story short the supposedly Xiaomi flagship phone Mi8 is a total disaster and good example to add on for those who always avoided chinese brands for such reasons.
Miui=Love
Xiaomi= A disastrous huawei follow-up
Support by Xiaomi= What support?
Hi. Just download this: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.1.1.0.PEAMIFI/miui_MI8Global_V10.1.1.0.PEAMIFI_60a2522efd_9.0.zip
Put it on your phone memory. Rename it to "update.zip". Then go to "Configuration/about/system update/ and there touch the three dots upper right and touch "Select update package", then search for the update.zip and there you go.
It will analyze the package and reboot.
Changes? nothing at all, only it feels a little more responsive (maybe is only my perceptions) and you loose the option to hide the notch. For example, in YouTube when you zoom in the video in Android 8 the video adjust but without getting close to the notch, so the image was not afected, but now the video shows the notch.

Format Data after rom flash ...
1. It wasnt an action of flash ing another rom,its the same rom,eu rom stable,just downgrade,so you just need to wipe cache and delvick,because if you format data you actually earrase all your phone

Eu rom is not that good, buggy like hell, and full of issues (just look over XDA mi 11 ultra issues and you'll see that all issues are EU rom related). one on a thread lost his screen, others notifications, others over heating, others incompatible applications. etc.
in order to install global rom, you'll have to keep your device unlocked at all times, and using MI flash tool and fastboot rom of a global rom, you can simply and easily flash it to your device (DO NOT LOCK BOOTLOADER, CHECK SETTINGS OF MI FLASH TOOL). pretty straight forward and there are threads in here explaining it, have a quick search.
Maybe you'll lose some of the camera functions (not commonly used, at least for me). but other than that, it is way more stable, way better, performance better, better memory management (which eu rom lacks, I don't care what others say, I care what I saw with my own eyes with latest stable eu version, and not for a day, for 2 and half weeks),
if you need assistance, let us know in here and you'll have a few (including me) will be happy to help you.
Hello all,
Trying my luck here.
I have a 11T Pro (Vili), International. I was using PE GSI and it was just perfect... fast, no issue, etc...
I wanted to do a small update on Magisk, and i've crashed the boot. Well, nothing bad, i'm used to that kind of thing, reinstall blablabla... and now Wifi is broken.
Wifi is working randomly :
- It takes ages to scan networks
- It connect, and disconnect after a few seconds
- Once connected bandwidth is not good
- Wifi button get disable without any reasons
And that : Randomly
Wifi is working for other devices
What i've done / tried
- Reinstalling multiple version of PE GSI
- Reinstalling MIUI Rom (with Miflash, and the firmwares) : for International and Europe, multiple versions...
- Flash modem.img
- Flash persist.img (in fastboot, not EDL)
Each time, the same : Wifi is not working correctly. I see the mac address in the OS. But Wifi keep connecting, disconnecting, etc...
Phone network is working perfectly (5G, etc...)
If anyone has any idea, i'm lost. I never had that kind of issue.
Thank you

Try to flash with Miflash, an A11, the best, the one that was on the phone when you bought it.

Android 11 version and mi flash fastboot rom?
Ho sorry, my brain wasn't working anymore, i hadn't tried going back so much regarding the version
Just flashed a Android 11 (Miui 12.5) and wifi seems to be back online and working.
I'm gonna update to latest MIUI and tried to reflash PE, and will confirm here
If it works : i own you a box of chocolate, a bottle of cognac, whatever is your poison !

Do you like to play with fire, GSI rom+Magisk+modules=?
There are AOSPs available.
Regarding the PE : i had it on my last phone. And when i switched to the 11T Pro, i've just checked the forums and people were saying to go with the GSI.
I've tried, and it was fine until now.
For info : I've updated through OTA from 12.5 to 13 (latest MIUI) : and wifi is back down !
God damn, that's crazy
Reverting to A11 !
For anyone getting to this thread : people on Xiaomi forums confirmed to me the Wifi issue with the last firmwares with some 11T.

Avoid stable Beta roms, latest Stable V13.0.7.0.SKDMIXM
It was with this one that i had issues.
I've tested V13.0.6.0 and V13.0.7.0 and both we're creating problems for me, and it was confirmed by users that are with MIUI. Both are labeled "Stable" but users report some problems with them
I unfortunately don't remember which firmwares was on my phone when i've got it
