I'm really liking the Mi Mix but concerned about security with the device. Is the OEM planning on updating the latest security patch or move to Nougat? I'm on a April security patch and using the latest Global Rom. Thanks!

If you want nougat you can try the global beta
(Im using epic rom based on miui beta 7.6.8 nougat with may security patch)
Do I need an unlocked bootloader to apply the beta? Oh, and is it pretty stable?

You dont need an unlocked bootloader, there is a flash guide in the beta download section.
I prefer the global stable, in my experience it was faster and more persistent than the beta, And if you will regret flashing the beta you will have a hard time going back to stable (unlocking bootloader and flashing twrp and downloading all your apps again...).
But if you want to flash the beta you should unlock your bootloader and flash twrp so when you do flash the beta you will have a backup (backup in twrp before flashing the beta) of your latest stable miui.
Its your choice

Okay, so I really don't want to mess with all of that if the stable version is better. I'm just hoping we get a OTA update soon. I used to have the Honor Note 8 and they had the Nougat update back in March and some updates since then. Hope the Mi Mix keeps getting supported.

Hmm. I was under impression that to flash ANY other ROM rather than factory one, you need to unlock bootloader. To go from original factory Chinese rom to stable Global ROM - do you need to unlock bootloader or no?

Just checking if there are any updates with the Global Rom, such as Nougat or even a security update? I'm currently back to my S8+ until I hear about an update to the Global Rom. I'm curious to see the level of support when you go with this company.
Android 7.0 is in beta testing, so should be coming out soon as a stable/global rom.
I can't handle my S8+ and want to start using my Mi Mix again. Should I be concerned that it's still on Marshmallow with the Android security patch from April?

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?

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.

My advise, stay on stable. Currently all MIUI ROM sucks and buggy. Literally Only difference you will notice in Pie is more bugs and issues.

I use the 8.10.11 after using the 10.02 stable. The Camera Quality is better and Android Auto works fine now.
Flashing the beta is only possible via Fastboot.

Thanks for your reply. You are 100% right. After some research I realized that it is NOT possible to flash the Developer ROM with a locked bootloader. I even tried older Developer ROM's which were still based on Android 8.1 because the newer versions were based on Android 9.0. A few days ago, the Pocophone and the Mi A2 allowed me to switch from Stable to Developer and back, without any problems, simply by flashing the .zip via the stock Updater app.

It is not possible, you need to unlock the bootloader AND install custom recovery. Xiaomi phones aren't always the easiest to return to stock should you actually decide to do it and then decide to return to stock.
The official stable release is rumored to arrive in November, possibly even December, so it might be a good idea to wait a little longer.

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.

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?
Click to expand...

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

Hello everyone! So recently I got a Mi 9 and I have some questions about the Beta Q update, so here I go.
-If I update it via the official website (no flashing or anything like that), will I be able to come back to 9.0 Pie or do I have to wait until the official update?
-Do I even get the official update, and if yes, will it still be stock Android or MIUI?
-Is it worth getting the Beta, or are there still many remaining bugs?
-Can I unlock my phone from the beta and install TWRP?
Thanks for your help in advance!
HI, to install the android q official beta, you must have the chinese version of the mi9 if your phone's bootloader is locked. I
f you install it, it's not recommended to come back to android pie.
If you are in the official xiaomi beta program, you will receive the official miui ota updates. The beta versions are stable, but there are some issues. For example some apps may not work as expected, like magisk that give root access hardly.
You can unlock your phone from the beta and install twrp.
I hope that this will help you.
