Hello! I got my Mi3 a few days ago and I'm having some issues. Some apps that I really need won't be installed because of compatibility issues. For that reason I wanted to root or at least update the phone, via the miui site.
However, my phone seem to be lacking some crucial elements. Such as the app called Update. I've been watching some videos on how to update the Mi3, and they use an app in the system folder called Update. And it doesn't exist on my phone. And when I enter the "about phone" in Settings and press the update button at the bottom, it just crashes to the homescreen.
I've tried the way of downloading the update file, developer rom, from the miui site, renaming it "update.zip" and putting it in the root directory, remove cache and booting from the update file. But it says the update file doesn't exist, even though I've put it where it's supposed to be.
Any suggestions? This is really bugging me.
Android version 4.3 JLS36C
MIUI version MIUI-JXDCNBD14.0
Thanks
Is it genuine or fake as it sounds like it could be a fake. Or maybe your just doing sonething wrong
How do I know if it's fake? Seems real.

Downloaded CPU-Z. It does have the Snapdragon 801, Qualcomm MSM 8974. 2,27 GHz. The specs are as they should, many languages available. Market works fine. The performance is really good and smooth. It's just that it's missing update app and the tutorials for updating it won't work for me. (Watched a video showing a fake Mi3, it had the wrong cpu, fewer languages, Market didn't work, and so on)
Edit: Downloaded the Xiaomi app "anti-fake", and it confirmed that I have a genuine version, although the IMEI and Serial Number didn't exist in their sales records. Bought the phone from aliexpress, that might be why.
Everything works as it should, except for the update thingy.

Yeah I tried method 1 and 2 and they wouldn't work. I might try the third option someday, but some comments mentioned issues so I'm a bit cautios with that one yet.
just download a stable recovery rom and flash it using Miflash.exe
Obviously make sure its the correct ROM for your phone.
i've used method 3 a few times now and it does work but it isn't the easiest method to understand. the pictures do help though.
Xiaomi's hardware is so delicate that there are cases of phone's display breaking inside jeans. Should i need to say about phone anymore? To avoid such instance Use Custom ROM enabled phone with Cyanogen.

I recently bought this phone from a website that is from my country (Romania), not from China and i don't know if it has the latest firmware on it.It has Android 6.0.1 with android security patch level September 1,2016. If i check for updates,it doesn't find any. My baseband version is A9100ZCU1API2. What i'm trying to say is that i don't know if the guys from the website put on the phone a custom rom or not,because if they did there are chances that the phone will never receive software updates and that's my concern. For example, if i buy the phone from China, will it come with google services installed? Because my phone has google play store on it. I don't know if i should download the latest firmware from sammobile and install it with Odin, but the phone might have the bootloader locked or some other stuff and it can't install the firmware and i will be left with the phone bricked or stuck in dowload mode...What do you guys say, should i let it like this for a while and wait for android 7 maybe or it's fine to reinstall the firmware from sammobile?And if i reinstall the firmware will i have google services on it? Thank you!
If you have factory room, you should already got the notification about new FW, as API3 is ancient. I believe latest is AQB2 and Nougat room is in testing phase..
What's saying in Settings/About/SW info/Build number?

I attached a picture with my build number.My main question is if i can reinstall the firmware with odin and that i won't have any surprises...
It's newest build, and I believe it's factory default, so you'll get Nougat directly once it is out
SM-A9100
If i go to settings at the status device tab,it says Official....
I have one more question...Why i can't receive notifications from whatsapp,facebook/messenger, etc.... I think this is a problem on phones that come from China or don't have an international software support.... Is it because Google is not supported officialy on this kind of devices or what is the problem? Be for i got the A9, i had a Leeco Le Max 2 and it had the same problem with the notifications
You need to disable power optimization for these apps, this option pops up from time to time, or you can find it in smart manager, under power options or something. Can not give you exact location as we don't have same SW versions
SM-A9100
I don't have that option...i know what are you talking about but i can't find apps optimisation...
Hi Scrapperr,
Sorry to see you're having trouble with such a great phone
I've had the same issue you're describing - the software looks 'untouched' and 'legit' - but it's not, it has been tampered with, just check your Knox counter and you'll see what I mean (https://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-check-knox-and-samsung-official-status.874951/).
App optimization is hidden in Settings / Battery / Detail - once you have the apps listed, select the app that has issues with Notification and go with 'App power saving' - 'Turned off'.
It probably won't work - unfortunately.
I ended up using t'shock's ROM - https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/development/rom-basicplus-1-t3587455 (BasicPlus) - very stable, good battery life, notifications working , but you might have issues with the SD cards - does not recognize cards larger than 32 GB and you might need to format them, in order to be usable with the phone.
If you go with the newest ROM available - listed on https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a9--/SM-A9100/, you'll notice it does not have Play Store / Play Services and then you'll have to read https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/help/galaxy-a9-pro-chinese-how-to-install-t3388126
Good luck and enjoy using your phone
Hey, Megaurs, thanks for this light stock Rom proposal, somehow I missed it.
Just 2 questions, did you maybe tried Tungtata Rom in order to compare these 2, and what would be advantages of Basic room vs.Tungtata
And, if this Basic room is QB3, isn't it based on latest stock available?
SM-A9100
Hi Djurkash,
Testing Tungtata is on my ToDo list, will get to it eventually - if you get to try it, please share your experience
You're right, QB3 is the latest release, as per sammobile.com.
Cheers

Hi,
i am perfectly fine with stock ROM and only one thing i would like to have beside. And it is Google phone app with capability to do search nearby places right from the phone app and the capability to see who actually calling behind unknown number.
I see some apks on apkmirror, but latest nonnexus apk is from 2016. So i rather ask here first. Do you guys tried this app and can confirm it has all the features i would like to have? Is it possible to have this app on our phone?
Do you have link to app for our device?
Thank you

I pulled this from OpenGapps. Flash the following Google dialer framework in TWRP and install it from the playstore... All the features work for me.

Possible operator error. Also, this isn't designed for Oreo to begin with.

How is it possible user error if it wasn't designed for Oreo? you never mentioned what os it was meant for. In any case, it did not, in fact, work for Oreo. However I did successfully use it for 7. Thanks for your work.

At first, I was saying it's an operator error because it does work. Of course it doesn't work for Oreo it clearly states the date when I pulled the framework in May. The OP was asking to use an updated dialer in stock. I provided him the framework with the ability to do so.... I wouldn't specify why because I was answering the OP.

same procedure as non rooted devices, Install as normal apk
I can confirm that it works on Moto G5 Plus (Sanders), stock rom, rooted with Magisk. Installed the dialer framework from the post by @atrac17 above, then phone apk (v.11) from here. (Play Market installation was still showing as unavailable for my device.) Then all I needed to do was to change the default phone app to google phone rather than Moto. Thanks for your help, guys. Couldn't figure it out by myself.
So freaking annoying we have to do this!.. Why on earth do we need Moto's dialer?!
Hi everybody!
As you all know, stable Android 11 is actually rolling out on Taiwanese versions of the Rog Phone 3!! The Taiwanese version is available for download on their website!
Can somebody tell if we can download this update all around the world (as the Taiwanese version is also WW) and install it safely on another WW Rog Phone 3 (here in Belgium) or we have to wait for OTA or official availability in our country???
Thanks for answers and have a nice day!!!
You can download it, I'm already using it on ww device

Not too sure about this but yes some vpn's aren't working.
Always use the latest version, no matter what. People complain that it drains the battery faster, while others complain that some apps are not supported.
Whenever a newer version is updated, all the apps, battery functions, and other things get updated accordingly. You cannot expect a quick update from others when the new operating system is updated.
Whatever they did in this enhanced edition that just rolled out globally has absolutely wrecked my battery life. I used to be able to get 6 to 7 hours of SOT. Now I get like 4. And I'm not even using performance mode!
U are right... enchanted my ass
Enhanced it is
Very bad experience with battery life also... EEA
Same here my battery life has tanked
Did yous all did a clean start or just update? If major update its always better to start clean.....
I have no problems with battery, you can always also turn of 5G in preferred networks, and use only LTE, it stops device from constantly searching for 5G and saves battery.
Sorry for the small hijack but was this update pushed to your phone or did you have to flash it yourself? I'm intrigued to try it. Thanks.
3 days from update my phone and i didn't see any difference.
Only new logo when i restarted...

Sure, yes I am rooted. I also use banking apps and Google pay and they work just fine. Using it in the USA.
For the security app I was searching for ways to activating GPU settings, found several guides and none worked, since the flag is already set to True it wasn't a flag issue.
So I download the apk installed through a third party file manager with root access (I use mixplore) it also works with the package installer but some apps wont install unless is with a third party.
I managed to update many of my stocks apps like settings, security, notes etc. Some I have replaced with CN version and they all work fine.
Btw if anyone wants some cool themes I been using https://www.miuithemez.com/?m=1 themes from that site, they all have access to be download within the theme app so there is no need to import them.

Hello everyone,
I want to know if there is a custom rom that is compatible with nfc to pay contactless with your phone.
But also, if this rom exists, is it compatible with android auto and voice control with google assistant.
or to keep all the options and possibilities of the phone, can I install a stock rom (my phone is locked to miu 12.5 version by my operator!) but for that I have to root and unlock the phone?
Sorry if the answer is in the foeum but I did not find in the various presentations of the roms or so I misread!
Thanks in advance for your
Isn't working NFC in ROMs pretty much the norm? Google Pay might be a bit stubborn to work in some due to SafetyNet/root complications, but should be possible to get it working most of the time.
Thank you for your answer.
I don't quite understand your first sentence, I'm not a good English speaker!!
Do you mean that now custom roms are all compatible with nfc and therefore the possibility of paying with it?
Whether with the application of his bank?
Because my bank is not compatible with Google pay!

Arrow os and pixel experience working for me, the only downside miui camera not there.
Best answer is try rom your self maybe work for me but not for you.
But if I unlock my phone, do I risk losing options like nfc permanently or can I go back?
I adhere to this request.
I tested AOSP Extended, Arrow OS, Evolution X, crDroid, in their android 11 and 12 respective versions, but in none of them I was able to make NFC work on this phone. Some of them have the NFC menu on the configuration menu and some not, but the result is always the same: I get "NFC failed" error or similar when an app needs to access the NFC device.
Before unlocking the device and installing custom ROMs, I did install the latest update of MIUI, based on android 12 (less than a month ago) to make sure I have the latest firmware installed, though I don't seem to find a way to check the current FW version without MIUI installed.
Also, I did check that NFC was working (on MIUI) before installing any custom ROM, so I know for certain it's not a hardware problem.
If I find a solution to this issue, I'll post here. Let me know if you find anything.
BR,
GH

Hmm, that is very unfortunate.
Since the Note 10 Pro has been out for a while, I guess that means there is nothing to be done about it?
Edit: However, statements by others seem to imply that NFC should be working, so maybe there is something your missing?

You should test it yourself it depends on your nfc app.

My xiaomi is a global.
It seems to me to risk doing these manipulations to then lose the nfc and no longer be able to go back!
Hello, I also have the global Note 10 Pro, I am currently testing different ROMs but none of them show up or I can enable NFC, which is strange since I have seen reviews on YT where they can, I can only use NFC when I install any version from MIUI, I wanted to know if you know any news on this topic

I have been testing various roms (crDroid, PixelOS, projectElixir, evolution-X, ...) before using now, since more than a month, lineageOS 20 as daily driver.
I never met the problem you are mentioning.
I would also suggest, as someone else has just done, that you make a clean installation.

I have investigated on the subject and apparently my model "M2101K6R" has problems with the roms, but the only one that works for me is Lineage OS, and the strangest thing is that this rom automatically changes my device to "M2101K6G" and that's why NFC works for me in that rom
