MI3W - Unroot Device

Hello everybody,
i just bought 2nd hand MI 3W for my kids.
This is the specs
Android version - 4.3 JLS36C
MIUI version : MIUI-JXDCNBD14.0
Baseband version : M8974A-AAAANPZM-2.0.6013
Kernel Version : 3.4.0-ga568004-00677-g9eb30dc
I got a few question
- I already download the latest stable ROM version from Xiaomi official website but i can't install/flash the ROM because i can't find the Updater icon or updater.apk (place the ROM in the downloade_rom folder)
- I extract the zip file and found the updater.apk but got "Parse error" when try to launch.
- I already rename it to update.zip put it in SD card folder and try to load it via hard reset but it can't find the file.
- I don't know whether my phone is already rooted or not.
- If rooted how to unroot seems i can't find the unroot version for my phone.
Please help me on this because i already so many way but still failed. I don't have a problem when i upgrade ROM on Redmi Note 3G and it working perfectly.
Thank you in advance and really appreciate for helping me.
Thanks and regards from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Firstly you can authenticate your product here http://www.mi.com/verify/
as it is second hand all doubts will be cleared about duplicate device.
After you have verified it you can download latest miui 7.1 file.
Search for this name "Xiaomi Mi 3 CDMA/WCDMA Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download"
on the page http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
actually it also describes the method to flash it . I am suggesting fastboot method as you are unable to find updater app.
Hope it helps.

Unlocked EEA 10.2.22 will only download corrupted OTAs

Hello,
I found out that my EEA Mi 9 (128 if it matters), that I just unlocked and rooted on 10.2.17, wouldn't download proper zips when updated to 10.2.22
I'm explaining a bit more:
- Unlocked on 10.2.17
- Rooted via patched boot and fastboot the 10.2.17 boot.img
- Updated to 10.2.22
- Lost Root
- Used Mi settings to re-download the ZIP since the official MIUI site doesn't have the latest 10.2.22
- All zips are corrupted
I could update the boot.img thanks to this thread here, but I'm starting to believe that I will have, when the next update comes, download it, copy it before installing it...
Question 1
Has anyone experienced not being able to download 10.2.22 when "on 10.2.22"...?
Question 2
How do people "get" the OTA URL before miui.com ?
Thanks,
Edit : Sorry for the obnoxious editorial, but I already got 2 people postings random answers without reading the post.

Download full ota via pc then install

The official MIUI site doesn't have the latest 10.2.22 EEA
Check for yourself : https://en.miui.com/download-361.html#588
Since it doesn't go through the Android "Download Manager" I CANNOT magically guess the ZIP OTA URL like "http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.2.22.0.PFAEUXM/miui_CEPHEUSEEAGlobal_V10.2.22.0.PFAEUXM_745a374eee_9.0.zip"
Someone with a usefull hint?

I don't accept your answer. I don't care about the OTA link. I already have it. You didn't read my post at all...
Questions are:
- Is someone else having corrupted ota zip problem
- How do you get the OTA URL without waiting for someone to post on XDA

Rooting redmi 9 eea version with magisk without twrp

I've been trying to root my redmi9 for a couple of days now, with no luck. Downloaded the relevant firmware for my version to my pc, extracted it and copied the boot img over to my phone and copied over magisk manager APK too. On my phone I opened and installed magisk manager and proceeded to the install process then selected patch file and clicked install. Unfortunately each time that I do this I get the same outcome the message reads-
-Device platform: arm64-v8a
-Copying images to cache
! Process error
! Installation failed
I've uninstalled magisk and reinstalled, with the same outcome. Then I've downloaded my phone's firmware directly to my phone and tried to patch the boot IMG like that, but exactly the same outcome. Re-checked that I have the correct firmware for my version and it is, so I can't really understand what is going wrong and why I can't select a patch to send back to pc? Points of note, I haven't got my sim inserted and wondered if this could be a problem as I can't select the other two debugging settings on my phone without my sim inserted ( install via USB and usb debugging (security settings) options) but USB debugging is selected to on. My miui version is Miui global 11.0.7 stable 11.0.7.0(QJCEUXM)
If any body has an already patched IMG file that I can use, or can help me achieve this myself it would be very much appreciated.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83419803&postcount=1

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm not fully understanding what you're saying. How do I do this using another phone? Do I download magisk onto my other phone, then copy the boot IMG to the phone and patch the image? Then send the patch back to my pc to then flash the patch onto my redmi 9 via fastboot?
In your link, are these steps to follow to flash my redmi9 after creating the patch on my other phone?
Sorry for all of the questions, I'm new to this, it's my first attempt to root a phone and it seems that I've picked the hardest one to unlock and root!!

Hi there, thanks for the help, I've finally rooted my redmi9! One more thing that I wanted to ask. It's about the ROM. I've tried to find information on Google, but nothing comes up that replies to my question. After rooting with magisk, do I need to install a ROM or is my original Xiaomi ROM still ok and working? I'm not interested in installing a custom ROM, root was simply to gain access for installing a program/app. So I'm hoping my original rom is in tact and I'm good to go.

Can you share your magisk_patched.img ? Cause I tried to patch the image on another device, but the created image boot-loops only
Tried patching the image on the redmi directly, but the resulting patched image is only 10MB and obviously boot-loops.
Thanks.

Development [PORT] BETA MIUI A12

Good afternoon
The XD team (Xyen and Dargonswim) has managed to port the Chinese betas with Android 12 for anyone who wants to test it.
You only need to have the bootloader open.
Installation (FASTBOOT):
- Enter fastboot mode (vol - and power).
- Connect the phone to the pc (have the USB debugging enabled).
- The first time it is recommended to do a clean install. Enter cmd and choose windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.ba t option. (Use the corresponding file for other platforms).
- Then you only need to use the update file.
- Wait 10 minutes for the process to finish. Do not disconnect the mobile at any time.

Download xdroms for free. None

Note: Language English/Chinese
Disclaimer:
XD Team is not responsible for bricks or any other problems. Before flashing! Keep in mind you have chosen to make these modifications and that it is your sole responsibility.

Great news. Simple and safe method and the original Chinese beta ROM without modifications under Android 12. Congratulations and good work.

I re-flashed the global A11 ROM for the sake of updates.
I can assume that if I flash this one, I won't get any updates. Is that accurate?

you will certainly not receive by OTA, you will have to update the roms by fasboot

expected that actual TWRP is not working correct with A12. But you can install the the magisk.app and patch the boot.img file (extract it from payload with payload-dumper on PC). Once you have patched the file copy it back to the PC and put the mobille into fastboot. Then with command "fastboot boot patched_boot_image.img" you will start with Magisk for your session. If you want to have root permanent after phone is up go directly to the Magisk app and install it "again" directly.

you need to install this new twrp , with that its possible to force flash payload rom.
attached :TWRP_Mi11Ultra_3.5.2_11
and with TOOL ALL IN ONE you can even flash with that buggy twrp opened
attached: TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE_2.0.1.4.zip
[TOOL] TOOL ALL IN ONE (Drivers|Unlock|TWRP|Factory Image|Stock Recovery)
Hello everyone, today I present my new creation: we are talking about a tool that allows you to do many things , from the bootloader to flash the factory image , comfortably. Now you're probably asking: but there are already other tools available...
forum.xda-developers.com

Honestly I'll skip this. Global ROM on A11 is almost flawless. I'll wait for official rollout

Try to delete .OTA hidden folder then give a try , or may be incompatibility issue I don't know

The problem is you are trying to install Indian software onto European one. Don't know exactly why, but is is not possible. On the other hand you can do fastboot enhance your burnt will wipe your device and probably brick it if you don't read guide properly.

Ok

Is easy to change region on Oxygen Updater.
You can download, you can install, but people did this on 9 Pro and got problems with SIM card and other functions of the phone. That may not happen to you, but you take the chance?..
On top of this you must wipe your phone with downgrade rom or MSM tool...

you need to use the full rom, not the ota
