Hi all.
I've just bought this device. When I first launched it, it was on miui9, i updated to miui 10 stable 10.0.3.0 (8.1 Android) via ota. Then, I saw that I could also upgrade to miui 11. However, I've read that battery is worse than Miui 10 so I don't know If I should install it.
I've unlocked the recovery because I want to try some custom roms but I'm a bit scared of the anti-rollback.
Could you please tell me what should I do?
Thanks all.
Before you do anything you need to figure out which device you own. You bought it and you already unlocked the bootloader? That generally takes 360 hours, are you sure it wasn't already unlocked? If it was unlocked you probably have a Chinese device, and in that case be extremely careful about not relocking the bootloader. if the phone is not bound to your account ( linked to you personally) then you could brick it and have no recourse.
if you unlocked it yourself and you have a locked device , then don't worry about anti-rollback. So far it has not been implemented. Next, you heard wrong about Miui 11, its battery is equally as good. Although the best version of Miui and currently the most stable Android 10 overall is Xiaomi.EU which is a custom rom based on the china beta but globalised, with Google services.
Again do your homework, avoid extremely old posts that are no longer relevant. Never attempting upgrading your screen refresh and never flash someone else's persist image and you will be good. This community has tons of infor...read a lot and take your own notes.

Hi Thanks for your reply.
My device is global version (not just global ROM, I do know the difference)
I am unlocked the bootloader using the Xiaomi official tool, i had to activate the developer tools on the device and check the bootloader status and the button which was there ( U know what I mean). Besides, when I turn on the device it says unlocked.
I've read that miui 11 has kinda bad sot because of miui and/or the bug with WhatsApp. So I don't know if I have to update via ota and If I do that I don't know if I will have any problems while trying to install a custom ROM.
I've had a Xiaomi before so I know that I shouldn't install strange zips.
Thank you

Yes, the last build of Xiaomi.EU had worse SOT than usual ( about 5 hours. However, the issue was only with one of the weekly builds) I personally resolved that issue for myself by flashing the kernel from the previous build. Also, Xiaomi.EU is updated every Thursday so later today there will be a new build that will very likely resolve the issue. On the other hand the stable builds do not have an issue with SOT. At least not in my experience. I have averaged around 8 to 9 hours SOT.
I don't use Whatsapp, so I can't help you with that.
Since you were previously on stock you will need to backup your data, if you are still using stock, backup to MiCloud as well. This way if you use a Miui based rom you can quickly restored most of your data and partial settings. You will also need to format use storage (type yes, reboot to recovery)

I see.
I've just updated to miui 11 stable via ota.
BTW, Is TWRP the best recovery for this device isn't it? I've read that exist other types of recovery (not CWM but someones).
And my last question, I cannot find which version of gcam fits on miui 11 (Android Pie). Is there any thread, telegram channel?
Thanks for all.

Personally I use the TWRP that I posted here : I talked to a few friends / android developers on other devices and several of them believe that this a TWRP issue.
I have not had any more of these issues since using this TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80952013&postcount=121
If using AOSP, you should use the official version.
The best Gcam ( I Think is by Sanity )
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-san1ty/
FYI the builds made for the Poco F1 and Razer 2 are also compatible.

As I've posted in the official twrp thread, I was able to install twrp and get to it but after power off the phone and try to get there again miui recovery was there instead.
I've installed the last build of twrp 3.3.1.1.
Maybe If I install magisk via TWRP I will have twrp *forever*.(?)
Thank you man

No problem.
After installing TWRP, you must initially install Root and then reboot to recovery.
Often you will see a message asking if you want to install the TWRP manager, click those boxes and then proceed to rebooting to recovery.
If you are using the full stock Rom, you must have root, so anytime that you flash the official Global stable rom, or an update, flash root again...unless you see via the Recovery terminal that Root maintained it's persistence.

Hi guys, I couldn't find a full guide here. Mostly scrambled. Can anyone Please dm me or write here , a full step guide to shift to eu rom.
Currently I am on the latest global rom V11.0.2.0.QCNMIXM : MIUI 11 : Android 10 .
Previous xiaomi device I owned gave me a headache whenever there was an issue of bootlooping etc that comes with flashing i.e. it was difficult to get back. What's the situation here.
Basically I want to shift to eu rom with magisk etc.
Please suggest most stable kernel, recovery etc and procedure. Appreciate any help , links will be helpful. Thanks a ton. :fingers-crossed:

I unlocked bootloader.
Flashed TWRP, using xiaomi adbtool ,
in twrp formatted everything , but not vendor.
Flashed xiaomi eu rom , then again formatter cache and dalvik cahche, and then formatted data ,.
If you don't format data then the device will keep rebooting to twrp.

Yep, I'd install EU ROM, but didn't like it, many bugs in addition to the ones already in stock MIUI, actually using Havoc OS GSI 3.8, recommended for a less bloated experience and awesome tweaks for this device

Which version did you try?
11.0.8.0 was buggy for me but 11.0.11.0 is really smooth, only issue I have with it is that gestures won't trigger the PUP player so I'm stuck with on-screen buttons. Haven't tried their 11.0.1.0 build because TWRP still can't decrypt Android 10 but I've used it on stock and it was still pretty buggy.
Hopefully Xiaomi will patch it and not just release another broken Android 10 build, this time with MIUI 12.

I am using 11.0.10 , I am not going to use twrp to flash anything anymore so... Doesn't matter to me about it.
But I am finding this to be better than stock miui. Feels a bit more smooth , everything seems to be working just fine.

Hi! I buyed a CN version of Mi 11. Is there any link with the official Global rom for Mi 11 that was rleased today ? Any tutorial?
Thanks!
As far as I know, the Mi 11 Global version won't be available before February 25th (at least here in Europe), so I doubt the global ROM is available yet. Most people recommend the xiaomi.eu ROM over the global ROM because it has some extra features and so on.
I recommend you use Xiaomi.eu's ROM, there's a thread explaining how to do it here. Also, don't forget to unlock your bootloader - you need to wait 7 days before it can be unlocked, so if you start the process today, you'll be able to flash custom ROMs in a week.

Installation ok for me. Like u i was on xiaomi.eu lastest. there is a smalll error : This error is caused because the tool verifies if the device’s bootloader has been locked or not. Since you used the ‘clean all’ or ‘save user data’ option, the bootloader is not locked and the error is shown. This is a problem with the tool itself and is nothing to be worried about since the verification takes place after the flash is fully complete.

You don't mind if I abuse you since you the first known to successfully flash the global rom?
Therefore, my bunch of questions are:
1. Did you use the fastboot version of rom (unzipped tgz)?
2. You did dirty flash form eu rom or did you clear data before flash?
3. You don't have any modem issue, all mobile bands and both wifi (2.4 and 5)?
4. Like first impression: do you still experience massive battery consumption?
5. What are major differences between eu and global?
6. Is the rom smooth and responsive or you experience any malfunctions so far?
7. Google Pay works? If you don't use it, could you be so kind and install safety net tester and report the results?
8. Could you still use phone calls recorder?
Thank you for your patient and contribution.
Yes of course
1. fastboot version
2.Form xiaomi.eu rebooting in faastboot mod and flashing fastboot version with mi flash with clean all option.
3. No mobile or wifi issues
4. all gms are installed ( google phone dialer and sms )
Sorry bro fresh installation i cant say more im at work
i dont use google pay and safety net failed
Rom is smooth but orange bloatware are downloaded

I don't want to install the xiaomi.eu because of the OTA updates and more. I want to flash the official global version of miui.
For this official global rom I still need to unlock the bootloader or can I flash over the chinese version? Sorry for the nob question. I'm new to Xiaomi phones.

Just as a warning - if you decide to flash the official ROM, DO NOT RE-LOCK YOUR BOOT LOADER.

So, first i have to install xiaomi.eu-rom? Is that the right order?
Hi guys, I bought my Xiaomi 11 ultra via an exporter almost 6 months ago and I have been using it happily.
I updated to MIUI 13.0.9 recently based on the phone OTA updates and I have been experiencing issues with dark mode and notifications. Some apps don't show notifications despite me disablling MIUI battery saver and enabled auto start.
Been browsing this forum for awhile and reading all the guides but can't seem to find one that allows me to root and swap to Global ROM without losing my data.
I have tons of pictures and data in my phone that I don't want to lose.
Can anyone be so kind to point me the directions?
Regards,
James
Simplest and only way, LOSE YOUR DATA!!!
The other thing you can do is back your data up over cloud (google or Xiaomi) and then restore your phone once rom has changed

Global rom still 12.x so if u want to flash from CN 13.x to global 12.x U must change some line in fastboot file so can downgrade rom
EU ROM seems like it's on MIUI 13.0 already. Would you recommend me unlocking bootloader and flashing MIUI 13 EU ? I'm backing up my phone now, just a little worried about my Google authenticator and my other crypto defi wallet like metamask and etc .

EU rom is china rom with some mode to make it global. And miui 13 stil has alot of bug (im using it 1-2 months) and i will change back to global rom soon
With me, eu rom sometimes got so laggy, refresh rate suddenly change to very slow value. Never met it in global rom.
Unlocked and flash another rom is a must do thing if u dont live in china. So u can try global or EU, what do u feel better. I come from eu to global, then try eu 13.x and now really want to fall back to global now

I would also recommend you to use Swift Backup for App / Messages / Call logs / WiFi PW backups. It works for most of the Apps so that you don't loose anything. Usually with Banking apps the restore doesn't really work. But there is usually also no data to keep with it. I always copy the Download and DCIM folder directly to my Laptop and after local backup also the full Swift Backup folder. Then I'm ready to wipe. I do that on a regular base (every 4-6 weeks) as the daily updates of CN rom sometimes make the phone a bit unstable.
Don't forget that your phone will be wiped once you unlock the bootloader.
when you unlock your bootloader there is no other option then format. It happens without asking it is just mandatory. Like @RoughNeck1971 says... i also use Swift to backup and copy DCIM directly to laptop
Question though, I'm now currently on MIUI 13.0.9 on CN ROM through OTA ever since I got it out from the box.
Am I able to flash to global ROM from MIUI 13 CN to Global ROM MIUI 12?
I read that OTA doesn't work anymore after changing ROMs,
So the propery way is to
1. Unlock bootloader,
2. Flash Global ROM with TWRP
3. Then full back up with TWRP whenever I want to update it to a new version of global stable ROM?
Sorry guys I haven't been in xda for a long time, since the times HTC sensation was released I meddle with some roms and radio updates.
Appreciate your guidance.

First of all - when you go back to MIUI 12 on Android 11 then TWRP is the right way to go as it supports it. Then you don't have to care about changing line in fastboot for downgrade. But as long as you have TWRP installed instead of the xiaomi recovery you can't do OTA. But you can just "update" with the new full rom version.
If you should do a full backup with TWRP - can't really say as I never tried to restore a full backup. I wouldn't rely on it to be honest. Better to have everything backed up and do a new install if there are issues.

I am really new to custom roms after using iPhone for a really long time and forgot how to root the phone.
I am fresh on CN ROM, on 13.0.9.
Can someone verify or guide if the steps I listed are correct?
0. Backup all files
1. Unlock "bootloader" with Mi Flash Unlock
2. Install ADB and flash TWRP Image
3. Install Global ROM (just to clarify, i can go back from 13.0.9 CN to Global MIUI 12 right?)
4. Check with Magisk that I am indeed rooted.
5. Restore backup from Swift / PC / Xiaomi Backup
You had it right. But you need to keep in mind that it takes usually 7 days until your bootloader will get unlocked! Sou you "apply" for it and then the counter starts from 168 hours to 0. Only then it will be unlocked. Unfortunately there is no way to get around that.
Hi guys, is it possible to flash the 512GB variant with a EU/Global rom or this can be done with a 256GB variant only?
You will lose data. You must format when you change ROM branch. I have Xiaomi EU ROM on my 11 512 Ultra now but did have global. Storage size doesn't affect ROM installation.

Then unlock, flash twrp and do everything else
Ah - OK. I understood that you have no problem installing Android 11 when you have TWRP running. Only to install Android 12 via TWRP has issues.

You must format data when changing ROM branches. This due to possible partition differences between them. You may end in a boot loop until you do format.
I am on the china model M2102K1C with the global rom installed. I rooted using the following method https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...irmware-download-needed.4301241/post-85282829 which meant not overwriting the recovery and only booting thru the twrp file in my adb folder. This made it possible to get OTAs.
I just got the update available for download message and before I install it I would like to be sure I can re root using the same method and that the twrp version still works on miui 13.
the reason i want to check first is that i remember using other phones that sometimes a major update had necessitated an update for twrp to work with it.
you can root on miui 13 by patching the boot.img , like on all android 12 releases. Due to non working twrp on a12.
So if you want a working TWRP you cant update.. After update to miui 13 it will be a12.

thanks I have rooted several other phones on A12. I might wait until I research a bit more on this one as its my first Xiaomi phone. I was hoping the TWRP made for android 11 would still work on A12. ...or if i can hold off wait until there is a twrp for this phone compatible with A12.

idk, i know there are working a12 twrp for mi 10 and 10 pro, but i dont know when and if it will come for 11 ultra. and when it will come... there are no twrp files for yet... if it is only for root, just use pathed boot.img.... its really easy

thanks I know I am going to end up trying it. with the other phones I was more familiar with fixing a soft brick, so that's why I am nervous about it. I already started the upgrade haha.
its nearly impossible to brick this device( i am told, lol)
You can allways reflash using miflash to stock, just be aware off untick lock

uggh looks like I am going to need to learn how to use miflash. im not sure what i did. I didnt flash anything but rebooted to system from fastboot, and now the screen is blank. My laptop recognizes enough to beep when i plug and unplug the usb cord, but adb does not see it.

For some reason it is losing sanity when you have an open BL and twrp etc installed and trying to update to miui13. Just make sure you have a backup.
I have never used MiFlash before. I believe my computer does see the phone. I was on miui_STARGlobal_V13.0.2.0.SKAMIXM_eecc15ab63_12.0. I am not finding a global fastboot rom for A12 (only the full rom).
The previous versions 12.58 does have a fastboot rom available. Using other phones it was not always possible to downgrade. Would it be possible to flash 12.5.8 on this, or will I need to flash the china version of A12 that has a fastboot rom available?

Problem is you can use watever boot img or the one from the specific fastboot rom? because I updated to global 13.0.2 and there is no fastboot version available yet and so no boot img

There is, take a look at the "beta" thread, it has all you need for A13 rooting

thanks, but can you be a bit more specific, ive been rooting my every android but this is my first Xioami ever so i am new to this.... which beta thread - a beta firmware - higher version which i download and extract to get the boot.img?
thanks
Yes. Whatever version you have installed, you can find a suitable root image from the link:
xdroms
Download xdroms for free. None
sourceforge.net
Then, it's a matter of typing fastboot flash boot rooted_boot.img and fastboot boot rooted_boot.img (with rooted_boot being whatever image you're running).
I'm currently running the latest Global Stable version, so the root I flashed was [ROOT]miui_STARIDGlobal_V13.0.2.0.SKAIDXM_8e7ececfcf_12.0_by_XD

Which one is best for the latest Global stable 13.0.2.0? It also says [Root], what does it mean? It is already rooted? As far as I know with the fastboot method you need to patch the boot.img via magisk first and than flash it via adb
It's a pre-patched boot.img file
So we just need to flash it, but which one of the two?
