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 :

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.

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

Hi All
Pulled the trigger last night and ordered a 256GB 11 Ultra from Wonda. The wait for the next couple of weeks will be painful haha.
This will be the first Xiaomi I've used having previously used Samsung and Oneplus etc. How easy is it to flash the EU rom? Does it need to be rooted or unlocked BL first?

Xiaomi phones are allowed to have their bootloaders to be unlocked and welcome custom ROMs. There is one previso, you have to wait a week ( 168 hours). You must agree and fully bond your phone with your Xiaomi account first. Then using the online or mi unlock tool you start the process. Once successfully started, you wait a week and then go back to the online or tool and actually do the unlock. This reboots your phone and formats the data, so have an off phone back up or data source.
Once unlocked, you can install custom ROMs like the EU ROM, which I will use when Available. 2 methods of flashing custom ROMs, fastboot via a PC or TWRP recovery. When a TWRP recovery is available, this is the easiest method but as this tends to be a while after the phones release, you tend to have to update by pc and fastboot for a while. To replace stock recovery with TWRP recovery, you again use a pc and fastboot the TWRP over your stock recovery and then boot direct to it and flash a TWRP .zip ROM when available. Of course you don't need to format each update, only if you change ROM branches. The EU ROM has a stable and both weekly ROM versions. Both are based on stock Chinese but made more like a global ROM. Their ROMs are the best choice if you want a good custom ROM based still in Xiaomi miui system.
You don't need to root to do any of the above. If you want to see my guide I wrote when the 10 Ultra was released, take a look at my guide here... https://mega.nz/file/fIoWUD4a#q1S3wYoOltgaPcchAiXc3dHal7Sf31k5BZQBM4xy6NE
It takes you through ensuring your phone is bonded with your Xiaomi account, unlocking, flashing by fastboot, installing TWRP, flashing by TWRP, updating and changing ROM branches. I will release a 11 Ultra version later this month when mine arrives but it should be no different in process.
Just don't expect kernel sources to be released complete...
But after changing to the global rom, will it update automatically?
Or do we have to do it manually?

You need to do it manually with the batch file. As long as there is no TWRP for that model OTA will not work unfortuantely.

Thank you for the replay. Thats is the only reason i will have to wait for the global variant.
Thought I read it someone if one flashes stock eu rom over China rom using mi flash too jar... you can lock bootloader back and it will receive OTA.
Is this information wrong ?

Guys someone successfully flashed Global rom on CN version phone ?
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 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.

Hello,
I have bought a Mi 11 yesterday version M2011K2G,
I found out that the bootloader was unlocked on it, but when I check it has a global ROM installed already on it,
the thing is that it's not making any update, so I guess it's not an original ROM ?
I want to put back the original ROM and lock the bootloader back in order to have updates,
can you please help me on how I can do this without breaking the phone ?
or I'm I not getting the updates just because the bootloader is unlocked and if I lock it I will get them back ? I'm just scared if I lock it back the phone will break,
or you think I should install back the ROM and lock it back to get everything better ?
Thanks !

Normally an unlocked bootloader has no affort to the update. How did you get notice about that? If your bl is really unlocked I would stay with that.

I know it's unlocked cause I see the unlocked "padlock" when I restart the phone, other than this I don't have any idea of what modification could have been done to it since I'm used to use my phone the way they come with, thats why I want to get it back to stock ROM or get the updates to make sure it's all good
Here is the latest Rom for eea.
It's interesting that rkbeusf is nowhere to find.
Well unzip the fastboot file put the fastboot files from miui into it and try the installation without locking

I mean, is there any way to lock it back ?
I kind of want to make the phone as it went out from factory
I never used mi flash, sorry.
My first step on new phones are always to unlock the bootloader so I can flash root and restore the apps with titanium.
And I got always updates through Ota.
I switched to xiaomi.eu rom, because it was faster with miui 12.5

thanks man, I will try install this ROM you gave me, I have noticed that when I make "download latest packages" it directly says "impossible to download..."
I wonder why it's doing this
Sorry if I misunderstood you, but you will have to scroll down until you see fastboot then a bit more to 'full rom' and click on the blue button
Edit:
Tested it right now and it works fine for me (download started)
Edit 2:
Seems to work with MI flash tool too:
Found on the mitool side:
Step 1: Download the correct Fastboot ROM on the Windows PC by double-checking the compatibility. Then extract and get the workable extensions on the PC (use the Rom above)
Step 2: installation bla bla
Step 3: too
Step 4: too
Step 5: Then attach the ROM file
Step 6: Switch Xiaomi device into the Fastboot mode. So turn off the device and simply take a long press and hold the keys of Volume Down and Power keys
Step 7: Then connect the device to the PC with a proper USB cable which is in the Fastboot mode
Step 8: Now you can enter the tool interface and check whether the device is connected
Step 9: Then select the most suitable flashing option from all three “Flash all”, “Flash all except storage” and “Flash all except data and storage”
Step 10: Hit flash from the top of the window and wait for several minutes
Step 11: Once the process is done you can reboot and finalize the process successfully.

thanks bro it worked, it now checks the updates and make them when they're available, my wife won't ask the divorce finally haha
one last question and I leave you,
my phone is a 12gb 256 (chinese) if I install that same ROM I installed, will I get autoupdates on it or that version can only update on it's chinese ROM ? any idea ?
For my understanding it will work too. The 12 GB ram is EU is not available but it's only additional ram and does not have an other rom.
... So if you can install and use your phone with that rom you will have no issues with updates

Be careful, don't lock bootloader with a global or EEA ROM on CN hardware, you will brick your phone.
Take care when using Miflash with CN flashed to global. Now you are on production software, best to stay there unless you want to install custom ROMs. OTAs should work now. 12.5.1.0 is the latest for EEA.

Isn´t all Mi 11 CN = China hardware ? I think it is safe to relock bootloader if you are on original ROM. Do you mix hardware and rom with each other.

You say you bought version M2011K2G. How did you came up that is chinese version ? Thats global not chinese rom. If your phone is originally global then you can relock.

Ok sorry for my misunderstood.
Hi guys,
i flashed tons of roms since i got my phone. Now i want to revert back to miui 10 android 9 ~v10.3.17 - xiaomi.eu, as miui 10 always was best with battery life for me.
Should i first flash the official stock rom from c.mi.com with fastboot mi flash tool to get rid of all my mess i have done in those years or can i just flash xiaomi.eu via twrp ?
I have the chinese version redmi k20 pro 8gb 128gb raphael.
Thanks.

Flashing Xiaomi.eu will only replace the system. It's probably better that you first re-flash the complete stock, also MIUI 10/A 9, to have the clean situation like in the old days
@zgfg thank you very much for your answer.
May you can tell me if i should prepare anything to get the bootloader unlocked again easily or is it the same procedure like requesting the file from mi.com ?
And maybe you can tell me if i can flash eea or global rom aswell as i live in Italy/europe or china is required ?

I suppose your BL is unlocked since you were flashing.
You can check in Fastboot:
fastboot oem device-info
Regarding how to flash the fastboot firmwares, see (I didn't use myself):
How to Flash Xiaomi Firmware using MIUI Fastboot and Recovery ROM
Ever since the dawn of affordable smartphones in countries like India and China, the demand for more has increased. The consumers now, more than ever, are

Long ago, when I switched from stock to Xiaomi.eu, I switched from EEA (but AFAIK, Xiaomi.eu guides nowhere require to be coming specifically from EEA, Global, China, Russia)
Yeah im unlocked, but if i recognize it correctly flashing stock will lock bootloader again.
Need to do further research tomorrow than if i can prevent that somehow .
Thanks.

Take a look to the screenshot from Mi Flash in the guide, there is the option Clean all vs Clean all and lock
That is a common issue, people leave on default: Clean all and lock and if anything goes wrong while flashing (wrong firmware or something) they hard brick their phones and since they locked them, they cannot flash again (and must ask for the paid EDL support)

Thank you so much for pointing that out, i surely have missed that.
If i can keep it unlocked may i stay at stock and will do a lot of debloating and optimization as i wont update it .
