Any updates coming?

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?

OxygenOS Open Beta 39 for the OnePlus 3

"Hey everyone,
Here are the latest open beta builds for OnePlus 3 and 3T.
Release notes
Launcher
Improved search tags in App drawer
Added "New installs" category tag in App drawer
Improved app list for hidden space and toolbox
Camera
Optimized switching between front and rear camera
Multimedia
Added capability to scrub/seek through AAC audio file timelines
Please keep in mind that this is beta software. These builds are sometimes not as stable as our official OTAs generally are. By installing this update, you accept the potential risks.
And please remember to tell us about any bugs you may find using the bug report forums, found here. https://forums.oneplus.com/feedback/
Please note:
If you have already flashed an Open Beta (you are currently running the latest Open Beta) you will receive this new build as an OTA.
If you are not running open beta software and would like to, please refer to the flashing instructions and the full ROM found on the downloads page here: http://downloads.oneplus.com/ (requires full data wipe before updating from stable to open beta)
Once you migrate to the Beta path, you will continue to receive Open Beta OTAs. You will no longer receive the regular Official Stable OTAs.
Moving back to the Official OTA path from the Beta path will require a full install and clean flash (FULL WIPE of all data and cache)
Please note that this is the last open beta for OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T, we will provide a stable version of OnePlus 3/3T for beta testers to migrate back to stable version of OxygenOS later this month to ensure beta testers will receive regular Android security patch update and so on.
Make sure to let us know how you feel about the beta builds here in the thread too, we are watching."

And Oxygen so slow...
On OnePlus site 04.07.2017. On the zip file 27.06.2017, like ob from Hydrogen OS..

Works Fine!
I did a full wipe, clean flash. Reflash Twrp 3.1.1.38 by eng stk. On a second reboot to system, phone goes back to stock recovery.
I reflash recovery from laptop with ADB in Fastboot. All good.

So they're supposed to release immediately without testing the builds, stop being a noob

Does bootloader needs to be unlocked to sideload update from stock recovery ?
Do I have to turn on USB debugging ?
I'm on stock 4.1.6, with locked bootloader, want to go to beta builds.
Don't shoot me for this noob question, I just own a op3 for 2 days....

I am not sure how your flashing steps are but what I do when flashing oxygen os is usually flashing twrp img right after flashing oxygen os, then reboot to recovery, finally reboot to system. This way i never lose TWRP.

On a second reboot to system you will loose twrp. Stock recovery takes over.
Yes, after flashing the rom i reflash twrp. This happen on H2o ob16 & Oos ob19
I reflash twrp from laptop. Reboot to recovery, NOT to system !

Guide: Reverse-engineering Xiaomi OTA Updates to Find Unreleased Versions

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)

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.

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.

Haha. Even open beta is official. Bt people only call stable ones official. Official means the one provided by the oem so open beta and stable both are official as they are both provided by one plus themselves . Don't get confused by others.
When u r flashing CUSTOM ROMS LIKE rr always flash latest open bera firmwares
There is no problem if u want to go back to stock rom from a custom rom just don't forget to do a clean flash ok

If you flash oreo firmware you cant flash nougat rom until you flash nougat firmware back. You end up with error 7 in twrp.

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.
