Flashing Global Rom from Russian Global Rom

I just received my phone today and it came with unlocked bootloader and Russian global rom V9.5.14.0.OEARUFA.
Question is, can I download the updater ZIP file of Global Rom V9.5.13.0.OEAMIFA and use the updater app to flash instead of using Fastbook/Miflash Tools. Is this a safe way? Will it work? Thanks in advance!
Note : It is China Mi8 device.

I also wait for solution... Buy online and got russian rom and unlocked bootloader... What suitable twrp version for this rom because i scare bootloop will happen when install the unsuitable version... And does anyone here already try the miui pro rom from miuipro website.. does it good? Any feedback is appreciated..

The latest recovery-TWRP-3.2.3-0806 will do the trick.

Flashing with twrp is probably the safest way as mi flash you can accidentally re-lock your bootloader.
Since the OP phone is china mi8. It's compatible with all the rom in this forum (EU, global, etc) with unlock bootloader of course.

I do not wish to change my recovery to twrp. So it's the only way is to use miflash tools? No direct zip flash global from from updater app from phone ?

To my knowledge you can't change channel with updater app. With channel I mean Global stable, Global developer, Chinese stable, Chinese developer etc etc.

So global and global Russia can be used with updater app ? Is that correct?
But if can't, it will only show error and nothing will happen to y device right?

Ok i already successful install twrp and magisk but there one question when my device is booting its said unlocked but when i go to the developer setting its said device still locked? So does this gonna have effect?

Magisk is probably tricking the firmware to see the bootloader is locked. For purposes of online banking and stuff? I believe bootloader is still actually unlocked.

Flash Global Developer via Recovery locked Bootloader

Hi everyone
First, I didn't find an answer form my question via search. Sorry if there is already one.
I'm now with an Global Mi 8 with Global ROM MIUI 9 9.6 (9.6.4.0 (OEAMIFD) and locked Bootloader. That's how my MI 8 got out of the box (so, the official Global version).
I want to flash the Gloabl Developer ROM 8.8.30 from the official MIUI Homepage (http://en.miui.com/download-346.html). As there is also a ZIP ROM Version for flashing via Recovery I want to ask wether it's safe to flash this. The verification process said no problems, just that all Data is erased. This is ok.
Is it safe to flash this way or is there a danger for a brick if the Bootloader is not unlocked?

It's safe to switch from global stable to global beta rom thru the updater, it won't brick your device.

Hello,
I was in your case with the same version.
No problem for me, I downloaded the version like you via the link then going through system update of the phone.
My bootloader is not unlocked

I'm currently on China Stable (miui9), bootloader isn't unlocked yet, what would happen if I flash globlal beta rom (miui10) (zip) via updater recovery?

It worked. Thanks

If your device is Chinese, you gonna brick it without unlocked bootloader.
So unlock it, flash then stay unlocked.

Is it possible to downgrade from 10 beta to stable 9 with recovery rom?

For the people who did. Did it erase everything on the phone? I am thinking of trying miui 10 but am too lazy to re-setup everything

Yes, it erases everything, back up all your data first, and save it on your computer

Hello,
I would like to flash Global Beta Rom on Global Stable rom thru adapter, but after touch 3 dots I do not have opportunity to choose the zip.
Do you have any suggestions how to do it?

Hello.
Click 10 times on the miui10 logo and submenu will appear.
Have fun

Thanks, it works :good:

Where to find last Miui without Arb ?

Hello,
I got a new Mi 8, and didn't do any update to not get ARB (9.5.13.0)
As my bootloader is still lock for a couple of week, i would like to update MiUI to the last official stable version that don't have ARB.
Couldn't find any clues about :
- which is the last version (just found that anything after 9.5.17.0 should have it, but it seems for Redmi Note 5)
- where i can download it
Any idea ?

Just update through OTA for the lastest stable version. When you unlock your bootloader you could flash MIUI eu without ARB or any kind of ROMs you want to flash and enjoy it! That's how i do when i bought mi 8 one month ago. Update normally and dont be scared. Stable MIUI is still android 8.1 so no ARB confirmed. Without unlock bootloader you shouldnt flash anything except stock ROM.

i thought there is no ARB in stable ver until now ARB just prevent you to downgrade. If you like using global rom so nothing to consider. But if you want to go on other ROMs, you should stay where you are to be SAFE and wait to unlock bootloader and change to another one. I heard that if you dont want to be bricked when in ARB4 and downgrade to ARB 3, you just need to use MI Flash and flash stock China Rom (not global) in first then Flash the rom you want through TWRP. That's what i heard about :good:

Well, that's exactly why I'm looking for the last miui rom without ARB.
- to get update of the firmware (used by other rom)
- to switch rom without worry of brick
- to come back to miui if not satisfied at the moment by available rom

that's good to know, but i'm still cold feet about doing the update without solid evidence..
But i will look into it a bit more...
I Guess i will download the fastboot image and look into the script, i should get my response.
Thanks

afaik no mi 8 rom has arb higher than 1. you can check that in flash_all.bat. also, you should be safe from arb bricking if you always flash with miflash.

Indeed, just finish my download :
::set CURRENT_ANTI_VER=1
Well, i'm currently in 0 so technically, i will get arb

That's what i said just update the lastest through OTA ( i dont think there is arb on the STABLE ver) but for the safety he should stay where he is, wait to unlock bootloader and change to another one without any concerns. After unlocking, MIUI eu beta or stable is a compatible choice with arb 1 :fingers-crossed:

What is the difference between "standard" (ota) rom and fastboot rom ?
I mean, there is like 400mo difference... so it's not just the script.
Does standard rom have firmware, etc..?
Well, i did the update, and still no ANTI variable on my phone, so you were right !

What do u mean "standard " and "fastboot" roms bro?
There 2 kinds of roms: Stock and Cook Roms
- Stock ROM is the ROM developed by Xiaomi. Thats i call Stock china ROM. And maybe your global ROM is stock too
- Cook ROMs are the other ones developed by developers from many countries. These Roms have many other function which are very usefull depends on user's purposes and optimized better than Stock.
- About OTA, maybe - just maybe because i aint sure the other cook roms have this function or not- is only on Stock ROM.
- the only way to flash stock rom is fastboot. And normally, cook roms are flashed through TWRP. But your global ROM could be flashed by both ways.

well, it's what is called "local update" (basically OTA update) and "fastboot update" (flash) on Miui website.
Here an exemple :
Official rom from Xiaomi (https://en.miui.com/download-346.html) :
miui_MI8Global_V10.0.2.0.OEAMIFH_f1b5f34c66_8.1.zip --> Size: 1.6G
But from the same page, you go to "Flashing Guide", then "fastboot update" (http://en.miui.com/a-234.html)
" Xiaomi Mi 8 Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download"
dipper_global_images_V10.0.2.0.OEAMIFH_20180912.0000.00_8.1_global_7d6e5e4b45.tgz --> Size: 2.4G
(Just to be sure, i uncompressed the tgz and did a zip -> 2.38G)
800M of difference, "same" rom.

Now i could sure that global is stock rom but with 2 versions- 1 for fastboot and 1 for recovery. Fastboot ver has some system functions which will help you unbricke some softbricks like cannt flash other ROMs and stuck in fastboot, bootloop etc... Recovery could also helps you but sometimes you have to use fastboot when it cannt. When you want to update or go on other ROMs, use recovery or OTA is more faster than use fastboot. But when you dont sure about ARB and want to be safe, thats when you should use fastboot to downgrade because recovery like TWRP dont check ARB. Only downgrade, update to newer is ok. And fastboot has .tgz tag, recovery has .zip tag.

Question Can stock zips be flashed with mi 11 twrp?

Just wondering if the stock zips can be flashed with twrp?
I tried numerous stock zips and the ROM flashes successfully with no errors, xiaomiflashtool V2 is also successful, however when the phone boots no matter which stock ROM succeeds, Xiaomi.eu is the ROM that boots.
I don't want to use mi-flash, my phone is eea(Vodafone) and I'm trying to flash eea global, when switching with mi flash it activates ARB and bricks the phone. I know it does because I have already done so and got a replacement from Vodafone.
Any help to flash a stock ROM would be appreciated, I'm stuck with xiaomi.eu as it stands.
Cheers.

at moment . there still no recovery rom for Xiaomi Mi 11 . there's people trying to flash stock rom in TWRP but keep failed .

Mine doesn't fail though, it succeeds. Well shows it succeeds but boots to xiaomi.eu each time.

Xiaomiflashtool V2 also succeeds with the stock ROM , but same outcome is present, xiaomi.eu boots each time.

I dont really want any custom roms really, ideally looking to flash stock again but its proving difficult.

hello me i think wait for a stable recovery.

At the moment the "TWRP" that is out is A10 based therefore you can only do normal stuff like wipe, flash magisk etc. It does not support flashing A11 roms yet

Hi you can, but you need the bl unlocked, also with china phones you might need root for gpay, banking fp etc.... with the bootloader unlocked these things may or not work, however on Chinese phones the bl must remain always open on a custom rom, otherwise the phone will brick.

generally thats the case, but for some reason some people its fine and others not, depends on your bank if it detects the bl is unlocked then you cant use it for this without magisk.

Question Need help with root... 🙌 Update... Part 2...

I have updated to the latest MIUI Global 13,0,2,0 and I NEED ROOT ACCESS, how do i go about it now?
i know it cant be done via trwp but fastboot...
i downloaded the miui_STARGlobal_V13.0.2.0.SKAMIXM_eecc15ab63_12.0 but there is no boot.img inside??? (that is the rom version i currently have installed)
PLEASE help me root my device

1. Yes and it takes 168 hours to complete and ends with a format. Use official mi unlock tool.
2. There is only one custom ROM. It is the Xiaomi EU ROM and available on that forum or via mifirm.net
3. Safetynet will not pass while on a rooted ROM. Unless you use magisk. My question is why do you need root? The Xiaomi EU ROM passes safteynet and all you banks, gpay etc work fine without root. There is no working twrp on A12, all A12 updates on Xiaomi EU ROM are fastboot.
4. Plenty of guides in this or the Xiaomi EU forum for 11 Ultra but obviously there is always risk in flashing but even when bricked, these can be brought back to life with the help of anyone with an edl account.

3) i don't need root for anything in particular, I've always had root on every single Android I've ever owned, once in a blue moon it comes in handy, i do plan on using magisk,

2. We call it "custom" but it just stock miui China rom of 11U with some mod for working in global area
As u know if u unlock phone, some app will not work normally (like banking, Google pay, Netflix...) they already fix almost all of the problem like that. And every default app can be uninstall easily (but xiaomi already have the way to uninstall thêm too).
And it isn't pre-rooted
3. If u dont want to do anything with root, i recommend u to stay away from it.
A11 is working fine with twrp, u can find official twrp in forums
MIUI 13 (A12) isn't.

You mentioned if I unlock my phone some apps won't work... You mean if I root my phone right? There's magisk hide that Helps to bypass these restrictions...
If there's no custom ROMs or special mods then I don't see the point in installing twrp? Unless there's advantages of twrp on Xiaomi phones?
Can I root the current stock firmware that's installed now on my device ?

with me, i just need twrp when i want to use xiaomi.eu rom, they usually realease recovery zip file for update rom. But now still no working twrp with A12, so they realease fastboot rom, and i dont want to use xiaomi.eu rom anymore so i dont care about twrp
yes. u can always comeback to stock with flash fastboot rom (or recovery rom with working twrp)
i prefer fastboot rom because i just think it's cleaner than recovery (LOL)
And with fastboot method, u can relock bootloader if u want, just need to carefully pick the right rom of your phone original. (eg: global unit can only relock using global rom, eea with eea rom, CN with CN rom)

I have updated to the latest MIUI Global 13,0,2,0 and I NEED ROOT ACCESS, how do i go about it now?
i know it cant be done via trwp but fastboot...
i downloaded the miui_STARGlobal_V13.0.2.0.SKAMIXM_eecc15ab63_12.0 but there is no boot.img inside??? (that is the rom version i currently have installed)
PLEASE help me root my device
PS_ i have seen a few posts saying that magisk hide no longer works???

I will never use that rom, because it isn't official
If I want custom rom, i will go for xiaomi.eu
And here i talk about official fastboot rom, thanks

You're misinformed.
They offer the official rom, all they do is to pack it in a fastboot installer.
Again, official rom, repacked. I'd advise a fact check because you are active in answering people, but your knowledge is obviously partial.

whatever, i just dont care
I only trust what i think i can trust, not just few online random people
And dont judge people because u think u are better

ok, device is rooted... THANK YOU!

If I unlock and root my phone, it's possible rollback all to the original status? Turn back locked and unrooted? Or maybe just unroot?
