MIUI Global 7.2.4.0.0 uses A LOT of RAM. (?)

Hello. Couldn't find a post related to this. I'm not a lazy browser, been on XDA for many years through many phones. Just haven't had the need for a user account until now.
I see the 7.2.4.0.0 version is removed from MIUI websites and i can think of a few reasons already.
Does anyone else have this problem too? I have the 3GB version and normally start out with 1.7gb RAM after a boot. Gradually over the day (even after closing apps) it goes slowly down to 200mb and i have to do a reboot.
Or Does anyone have the 6.5.30 version and could tell if it uses up the RAM over time?
Sincerely
John

You have a fake rom. 7.2.4.0.0 is not an official MIUI rom and newer was. 7.2.4.0 is an official rom.
You should flash the official rom.

Thank you. I didn't notice the extra zero and didn't think it was unoffical.

You are on an un-official modefied version.
The fake version is 7.2.4.0.0 <- your version.
The real official and supported by Xiaomi version is 7.2.4.0

Hi,
Hope I can get some help. I recently just picked up a unit and am on 7.2.4.0.0. Realised it was a fake rom but I seem to have trouble flashing the global rom or the china stable rom. Believe my bootloader is locked at this point and have applied through the unlock miui website but that will take at least 10 days or more to get the SMS.
Frustratingly, I have seen some solutions on the miui forum and there was one proposed solution, of which many were finding success, that includes booting to recovery mode and then hitting shift + [flash] when connected to the Chinese miPCsuite. My update only goes by to mid 50% levels and then its stuck on for several hours! Is this a USBC to USB port incompatibility issue (if it was it wouldn't have recognized the phone right?) or is my phone just beyond saving ? At this point, im not confident in using other solutions as they look highly technical and some have highlighted that their phone has bricked in doing so.
Appreciate any advice! thanks. PLEASE HELP!

if you already tried the simple steps as stated then there are no more simpl steps left.
Do an EDL flash and make sure you clear all, and be aware that most Mi flash stuff works best on Windows 64Bit.

What he said, download the latest, both files can be obtained HERE
-MiFlash tool - step 1
-official fastboot rom - step 2
install the MiFlash tool
extract the downloaded rom (tgz) then extract the output file (tar) > make sure you copy the path of the directory where you see all the files like flash_all flash_all_lock etc..
reboot your phone into fastboot mode (you can access this by turning off your phone, hold vol - and power)
make sure you have adb on your pc
type this: the first line is optional to see if the phone is recognized.
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem edl
edit: I should mention, do not panic, the screen of the device will turn black but will still remain on.
launch the MiFlash tool
Click on Refresh, you will see a device right now in the list called COM (some number) >>>> it will be ticked
Paste the copied directory path into the white... uhh search bar thingy . or just click Browse and select the appropriate path.
Click Flash
edit: once done, simply unplug your phone and restart it by pressing the power button.
That should be all

Thanks for the reply! Before proceeding, I actually received the SMS to unlock the bootloader but im still at work so I cant go back and attempt the unlock. So just trying to manage my expectations here.
Is it safe to assume that all I need to do now is log in to the unlock tool by miui and unlock? because im still on 7.2.4.0.0 (the unofficial discontinued rom) and I have no way of flashing it to any other roms. My last attempt last night was again, stuck at 52% after a nights worth of wait! TT

Thanks for the help. I will attempt this as a last resort. I just received the SMS to unlock my bootloader. Hopefully its as simple as logging in and unlocking so I can get rid of this pesky 7.2.4.0.0 supposed "Global" rom.

i have successfully flashed to global rom!!! but now i have no audio coming from the speakers!!!! is it just my luck!!!??? and after reflashing again.. its completely dead.. its goes into the sign in to miui welcome page and just goes insane.. like to the point where i cant even select options and and random menu sounds keep coming up.. cant even turn off i had to reboot to fastboot.. is a goner? sighs..

7.2.4.0.0 to Resurrection Remix (CM13)
- unlock bootloader
- flash TWRP with fastboot
- install Resurrection Remix
- install GApps
- reboot, now it's say Google play stopped.
- go back to TWRP
- wipe data
- reboot and everything is working

Mi 5 from GearBest with fake ROM (7.3.8.0) and locked BL

Hi.
I bought my Mi 5 from GearBest and it came with MIUI 7.3.8.0. I'm new to Xiaomi phones, so bear with me please!
I was trying to update it and I found out I should flash the fastboot version of the Global ROM (8.0.2.0). But to do that, I believe I need to unlock the BL. I asked for the unlock permissions, got them. When unlocking, I get an error "Couldn’t Verify Device". I found out it might be related to the fake ROM situation.
To go around, I discovered I could use EDL to flash the ROM, but apparently after 7.3.?.? it has been disabled by Xiaomi. Even tried to put EDL into the phone through ADB but it failed. Also tried to use Mi PC Suite, in both English and Chinese, to flash recovery and none of them worked. In the English version, it says I have version 7.2.4.0 and tries to flash a Chinese 8.0.12.0 version (see photo attached). One time it even completed the procedure in the phone (bar went all the way) but now the phone doesn't boot (bootloop).
I'm not one to give up, but I'm running out of ideas! Please, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Yes, of course. That was the first thing I did. As I mentioned, it failed with the error message in the OP (or similar, I tried everything so the message might be close).

Bootloader can't unlocked with a "shop rom".
You must first install Global Dev or China Dev ROM.
As far as you can boot the phone into the "pc suite" mode (power on phone with volume up key pressed), you should be able to flash to global dev with latest pc suite version.
Follow this guide: http://www.gizbeat.com/10386/xiaomi-mi5-unbrick-after-bricked-from-failed-edl-flash-method-2/
Progress bar in the pc suite software is a joke, wait at least 30 minutes.

I managed to finish the update through the recovery flash in Mi PC Suite, now I have 8.0.12.0 MAACNDI, which I would think is a Chinese Developer version. I still can't unlock, neither update through the app in Android and I can't find a way to flash a different version with Mi PC Suite, it just says it's updated.

Sorry, just noticed that your phone is already in bootloop.....same happened me, I think the progress bar on the phone is only indicator for the file copy from pc to phone but NOT for flash process.
As mentioned, same happened me. I solved that with a "deep flash" cable http://xiaomitips.com/guide/miui-deep-flash-engineering-cable-solution-to-non-edl-device/
With the deep flash cable you can follow this howto http://www.igeekphone.com/flash-miui-global-stable-rom-on-xiaomi-mi5-running-china-stable-rom-tutorial/
You need to scroll down to the howto for locked bootloader.

Really? Thought you have bricked you phone
8.0.12.0 MAACNDI is china stable, just download Global dev fromhttp://en.miui.com/download-299.html and copy it to your phone or download it direclyt on your phone.
Then start the ota updater app on phone, click the three dots in the top right corner, there is should be an option "choose update package" or so......... and just pick the downloaded ota file.

Me too! But I run it one more time and it finished.
The CN in 8.0.12.0 MAACNDI means it's China, but I saw it's actually the last one. I tried to do what you said but with Global Dev and it said "Can't Verify Package"... I'm now downloading China Dev, should it be any different?

I updated from global stable to global dev, so maybe it is not possible to go directly from China stable to global dev.

How to change the MI 9 chinese version firmware

Hi all,
I plan to go to China very soon. And to buy a MI 9 (probably the transparent version - 256GB). I was just wondering if it is possible, as of today, to replace the Chinese rom with the EU one.
What are the pro and cons?
Thank you all have a nice day!

hello there!
First of all - Yes, it is possible to replace chinese ROM with EU one. I myself did that on mine and my wifes phone. A Friend of mine was traveling from China to Europe and I got mine phones before european premiere. In order to do that - you will have to unlock the bootloader (fairly simple if you know how to plug USB cable and install one program on the computer) which usually takes about 360 hours. After that - you can flash global ROM, or any other.
Pros - You don't have bloatware from China, no chinese adds, some of the system itself is missing in chinese version (but the phone is fully usable anyway)
you can use xiaomi.eu ROM, which has improvements from community.
Cons - Not sure about warranty after BL unlock, or is the waranty is global.

You will brick your phone, if it's not stock rom and you relock it! If you go full stock and relock it works great.

Can you provide the most up-to-date guide to switch the rom from the CN to EU version?

Hi Kollachi.
just to be sure here...
if i have a Chinese MI 9 it should be possible to flash the Global MI 9 ( Version: V10.2.3.0.PFAMIXM (MIUI10) ) and afterwards lock the bootloader again, without getting a bricked device ??

Just the bullet points, basic knowledge of android needed
1) set up your phone with Xiaomi (register mi account, link the phone with it, log on the mi page and see if everything is in green - passwords, phone number, etc)
2) download mi unlock tool. No need to register or write petitions. just download and run
3) switch off phone. turn on phone while holding the volume down key. It will run in fastboot
4) connect with PC. press unlock on the unlock tool. Confirm 2 warnings (5 secunds pause for each), and look at % meter going up to ~99%. Then you will have information that You need to wait 360 before unlocking the phone
5) wait 360 hours --> 15 days. Use phone as normal until that time.
6) make backup of the phone (Mi cloud backs up sms, call logs, etc).
7) run the unlook tool again, turn the phone to fastboot more (point 4) and press unlock. this time it should go all the way to 100%, stating the phone is unlocked.
8) [optional] the phone will reboot, but you should keep the volume down pressed, to enter fastboot once again. Once in fastboot - you can flash TWRP ( with the help of minimal ADB, there is a guide for it)
9) [optional] once TWRP is flashed - press power, the phone will shut down. then restart the phone, but this time volume UP.
10) [optional] You will enter TWRP recovery. Things to do:
- wipe data (to remove encryption)
- connect the phone to the PC, set the phone to "mount" mode and download apropriate ZIP file to the root folder of the phone
- flash the ZIP
- restart
NOTE, that You will have to login with MI cloud login and pass after boot loader unlock.(first time the phone starts to MIUI). Usually the password is enough, as the phone will discover your phone number. I had some difficulties with it, as I had the alerts in chinese You should have wifi avaliable, as I am unsure if you can connect in this moment via cellular network.
hope it helps.

thats the only thing i dont know... it interests me too.

the Global Version has LTE B20.
I read that the china version doesn't have B20.
after flashing to the EU / Global version, do I have LTE again?

Bands are hardware related, so after flashing global ROM you won't have B20 avaliable.
Other bands will work, so it is possible that You will have LTE in your country, depending on the bands used by your carrier.

is that only if you use TWRP for flashing or also if you use Miflash ?

It's safe if you use TWRP since your bootloader is still unlocked, if you flash using mi flash make sure you choose clean all, do not choose clean all and lock (always check before flashing your rom), your phone will be bricked.

So in other words, you can flash mi9(china) with the global rom but you must never lock the bootloader as it will brick the phone.
Only lock the bootloader if the mi9 is on china rom. Is this correct ?

In theory - all above is fairly safe.
You will brick the phone, if you chose to "lock" your bootloader after doing all activities from my list.
don't do that, and you should be ok.

MI8 Brick

Hi there,
unfortunately I bricked my Mi8 during a ROM Flash. I could not see the options as they were "hidden" because of the resolution of my screen. And unfortunately the standard option seems to be "lock", so it did and now I cannot flash any ROM anymore.
Is the method with opening the phone and get in touch with a doggy service to unlock it still up date?
Is there anything I could do? Will Xiaomi help me if I write them an email?
Help would be much appreciated.

Well, not knowing what you flashed and how you did it, it's hard to give an advice.
Can you boot to recovery, fastboot?
If you want some "output" you have to give more "input".
Is you phone recognized if you connect it to the pc? Perhaps you can revive it with mi flash and a complete rom (tgz). Be aware of the danger of relock!

I know I did a mistake as i flashed it wrong as I did not choose the correct setting (just clean instead of clean and lock). I did not see the options when I did the flash as they were "hidden". The Bootloader is locked and therefore I cannot flash another ROM.
I can get into fastboot, no problem. But I cannot load a ROM (Bootloaderbis locked).
I do wonder if there is any way instead of opening the phone and get in touch with a commercial unlocker service.

Can't you simply use the bootloader unlock tool from MI?

Unfortunately not, it stops at the second point and tells me that this is not connected to my mi account.

Wipe data and try again. What's the issue with "resolution of screen"?

Why would the wipe help? I guess all data is errased anyway because iIflashed a fastbootrom via mi flasher. The problem was that a portion of the program (mi flasher) was hidden, the part on the bottom where you choose which flashmethod. Therefore standard is lock device and that happened...

Just try to unlock bootloader again. If it is not possible, you have to contact with someone who has Xiaomi account authorization.

I paid 12$ when my previous Redmi 6 pro was relocked after xiaomi.eu update. It is very sad that you must pay for authorization. Shame of Xiaomi.

Is your device a Global or Chinese device and how long ago did you buy it and where from? If the bootloader was unlocked when you attempted to flash whatever you flashed then it was unlocked by someones account. Are you saying that you did not unlock it?
If you did unlock it yourself, then you can unbrick it. If someone else unlock the bootloader you should try contacting that person to get their id and password to unlock the device again, and then you can remove their account from the device and replace it with yours.

Since you have fastboot
You need to download the fastboot rom for whichever device you own. Also, your phone must be clean, you will lose all data.

Chinese Mi 8 Rom : http://www.miui.com/download-345.html
Unpack the Rom, on your desktop and then place your phone into EDL Mode or fastboot. - The fastboot Rom comes with the Fastboot flashall script, it will fully restore your phone to the a Stable Rom and Overwrite every partition..
If you unpack the rom and it unzips into a larger version of the rom, unpack the new unpacked larger version, it will unpack into a folder, inside the folder local the flashall.bat file and with the phone connected double click it and wait 5 to 10 minutes until it reboots by itself, you will see the screen to connect to wifi, and then to add you account credentials, enter credentials, enjoy your restored phone.

You don't, ( well not anymore) you only pay someone to unlock if you do not have your account bound to the device. The person that you would pay has a vendors master unlocking account, these are very limited and these people are mostly located in Russia and Vietnam.

Hi there,
that brings some light into the darkness, although I am did not completely understood all you wrote.
1. I bought the device used in Germany and it is the German version. It was unlocked and I installed Havoc OS which worked fine. Then I thought I should update Havoc OS and that'S what I did. This ended in a Bootloop. I went into the Recovery and it was kinda weird as it asked me in chinese to enter my pattern. I did and after that the touchscreen stopped working. Still could get into recovery and also install a new one via fastboot. But same problem. Then I googled and as I understood the solution to other people was an earlier MIUI ROM which I installed via the Mi Flash tool and here I am chosing the wrong selection for the flash and ending up in a brick.
2. I don't have the device connected to my MI account. So I guess I need someone with a vendor account? S Unlock also offers a software (one has still to pay) which works without the help of someone logging into and using e.g. Teamviewer. (at least that is their claim)
3. I cannot connect the device with MI flash and therefore no flash of a ROM is possible which brings me to
4. In any case, I for sure have to ****ing open the phone and play with the EDL Touchpoints? Right?
If one has any further ideas let me know, I am really fed up with this ****.

Okay that better explains your real issue
You had an issue with the lockscreen, which could had been resolved by removing encryption ( formatting user data ) by using ADB or using the Tool All in One. ) Unfortunately, you misunderstood what the issue was and flashed a rom without unchecking unlock bootloader.
Since the bootloader has been relocked, you may need the original account info that unlocked the bootloader. ( If it's still bound to the device) If possible contact the person that you bought the phone from and get their account, then you can use the steps that I listed above by placing the phone into EDL.
If you are asked for a Mi account password, after restoration, then the phone is absolutely still bound to the previous owners account.
You do not necessarily need to open the phone :
You can probably use ADB to place the phone into EDL mode : adb reboot edl
You can use an EDL cable Such as this one
On some phones it is possible to enter EDL by pressing and holding the power button and the volume up and down simultaneously, you can very that the phone is in EDL by connecting it to your PC then go to Control Panel/System/ports <<<< Here you will see port 9008, that means you are in EDL mode.
After installing fastboot rom via flash all.bat method
After connecting to WIFI, you may be asked for the Mi Cloud account (if linked) If so contact the previous owner for that account info, then once the phone has gone through setup, remove the account from the phone in settings/Backup ( It is also possible that the phone is not bound to a account) If no account is linked then you will be able to link a new account and then wait 72 to 360 hours to be able to re-unlock the bootloader.
If the phone is bound to a previous user,
The only option is to use a reputable service company who has a master unlock account. if this is indeed the case, you should try contact Xiaomi and see if they can recommend someplace close to where you live.
@berndbrecht
I just found out via the Mi-Globe website that a XDA member has an official Xiaomi Unlock account and the price is extremely fair: I would suggest contacting @NikSalsa
You can read the same article that I did here : https://mi-globe.com/unbrick-your-xiaomi-phone-without-authorized-mi-account/
Also, there are a couple of additional options listed , if you have trouble reaching NikSalsa

Question Mi 11 Android 12 Hard Brick (12.5.1.0.SKBMIXM)

Hello,
I tried to update to Android 12 to see the new functionalities, I've done it quite some times so I knew what I was doing. But actually... I came accross a big problem.
After that I wanted to go back to the Android 11 version, and so I launched Twrp again, but it didn't boot the same way it usually does. No asking for password, no changing language available, and no data visible on phone (where you choose to install magisk for example)
And so I searched a way to reboot the phone seeing I wasn't able to do anything... but the fun comes after. In that new version, the power button doesn't reboot/stop the phone anymore, it's done with that accessibility pop-up you got on the menu. So, I was stuck inside Twrp.
I fount a reboot section, and I tapped on it, but it seems it wasn't the actual reboot..
Now I'm stuck with a black screen, phone doesn't start, no fastboot, no recovery mode available whatsoever when I press the combination of Volume +/- and power button. Pressing the three for a minute didn't help either. I tried everything.
My phone is apparently stuck in EDL mode, beeing recognized as COM3 on my computer.
I tried flashing it with XiaomiFlash, with the Android 11 12.5.9.0 SKBMIXM version but either it says the phone doesn't answer, or "write time out" or something.
My photos are saved on google and my app are mostly games that are linked with google account so I pretty much doesn't care about factory resetting I just want the access back now.
Is there a free solution I can do by myself ? (not going to give the access to some random telegram guys I don't know, I have read some messages)
As it's detected by the PC there is something that might be done, but that's not in the territory of things that I know sadly..
If someone can help, that would be immensely appreciated.

Global A12 is the bricked rom of the year.... There praticaly any problem with the chinese A12.
Bad news, you will paid approximatively 25/30 $ for unbrick your device, it's the only possibility, because only a certified xiaomi account can unlock EDL on your Mi account.
Good news, if you want try A12, Xiaomi.eu A12 is out, MiuiMix also... And it's really more safe.
I PM you a link for a Unbrick service

So something similar happens to me, if that's what you are referring too, TWRP gets stuck on a12 it won't respond when TWRP is injected and you want to go to recovery since it won't decrypt you will see that it shows 0 on internal memory and With the touch screen not responding, so you have to keep the power button press for awhile for it to reboot, TWRP will work but only when you boot to it from fastboot. That's how I been able to flash CN beta a12, Xiaomi EU a12, and stock Global a11(not beta version) I went back and forth yesterday from Xiaomi EU Stable, to CN beta to Xiaomi eu beta and back to Xiaomi eu Stable.

Yeah it's what happened to me, but I tried pressing the power button for a long time (1 minute or so) and nothing. Did you do it longer ?
My phone isn't actually detected by ADB or Fastboot, only EDL (COM3)
Idk if that's any recoverable..

Nothing, impossible if you don't have a certified account and only people working for Xiaomi have this account

Good to know, if I need those service will totally let you know thanks !

There is no solution except through EDL mode, through a person who has access authorization.
Unfortunately, I also went through this. The problem is that the phone is repaired by connecting the platform to your computer through a "vewever" program.
After this procedure I was hacked through my AMAZON account. I assume my passwords and passwords were stolen.
That's why it uses a computer that doesn't store data, especially the browser.
