Hello,
I've read a bit and it seems possible to move from ColorOS to OxygenOS by flashing. What are the pro and cons with that ?
I recently bought a One Plus 10 Pro out of black friday deal. And I did a bit of a mess and bought an CN version.
Can I managed to be "fully stock" on a EU version coming from this CN hardware ? Having Android Pay working, safety net etc... ? and OTA updates normally ?
Or is it just simply impossible and i should cancel my order and get an EU version ASAP ?
Thanks
You can flash to oxygen os and everything work fine.

I have been extremely confused on what the available ROMs are for this device. I usually am not this cautious, but the sheer rarity of this phone always makes me think twice with what I do with it.
So after reading around a bit, to my understanding these are the available ROMs:
Chinese Stable
Chinese Developer
EU unofficial global (on MIUI 6.x.x??!)
Vendor ROM
What I don't understand is that listed for me is "MIUI Global 8.0 | Stable 8.0.7.0.0 (MAHCNDI)". No Chinese bloatware, English is set by default, play store is automatically installed...
I want to update my phone OTA, but clearly this is broken as no updates even pop up after checking. My question is:
What rom am I running?
Of the following ROMs mentioned which one is the update to my device?
Thanks guys, I hope I haven't been the millionth person to ask.
Edit: after reading a bit more I've found others in my same situation. English is automatically selected, no bloatware, and the playstore is automatically installed. Apparently I have a vendor ROM, one that was installed by the seller/vendor. It's extremely hard to believe that this isn't an official global ROM!
So this Chinese stable rom: http://en.miui.com/thread-436070-1-1.html , would it have bloatware and the whole 9 yards of hell?
I can't update OTA because the updater is broken and I'm not trying to unlock the bootloader unless it's absolutely necessary. Am I on an abandoned ROM?
I had this rom it wasn't EU rom it is global same as you 8.0.7.0.0 I liked it cos it clean of all that bloatware that other roms have but I couldn't install xposed so I tried an EU rom and it did work the Eu rom does have some Chinese crap in it but some can be uninstall and now I have a very good looking and working rom, you got to tweak and customize it as you which and i'm happy with it.
I am in the same situation as you, I'm on 8.0.8.0.0 "Global" . It was installed by Gearbest, I can only assume. My updater can't see any other ROMS, not even when I've downloaded it either. So yes I think it's "abandoned".
I've asked for my phone to be unlocked so that I can get access to update the ROM later on from Xiaomi. It's been about 24 hours, I can only assume they're busy since lots of the phones have been delivered to customers by now.
My plan is to go onto the EU ROM unless I can get access to google apps using the Chinese ROM.
So to my understanding now, Xiaomi flashed every device that was sold internationally (ones shipped to redistributers like GearBest or Geekbuying)? And now they offer no support or legitimate way (besides unlocking the bootloader) to update... Can somebody correct me or didn't Xiaomi curse us with this beautiful device?
Interesting to hear. Maybe I'll check out the EU ROM

couldn't verify. looks like current android version is different from that in the recovery package. Try flashing your device in the Fastboot mode.

This has been answered and mentioned several times unfortunately. Please use the search function before posting threads
You cannot go from STABLE to BETA without unlocking the bootloader, and you especially cannot do it from the updater. It must be flashed. I'm going to assume that you are trying to "update" to the new version with Android Pie. The Mi Mix 2S just a day or two ago received stable MIUI 10 with 9.0. Be patient and wait for the update for us as it should be arriving soon. Beta versions were intended for developers and for testing purposes and may have bugs. It really is not worth the trouble of unlocking the bootloader and jumping to a test version for a newer version of Android even more so when a "stable" version is just around the corner. Most things will remain unchanged from MIUI 10 based on 8.1.0 to MIUI 10 based on 9.0. People have been bricking their devices due to little experience with Xiaomi smartphones, and it would be terrible to see another one join the list.
How long we wait?

If I download a zip file and try to install under system update - choose file it says the this rom isnt valid for carrier type or something like this.

Sorry for the late reply. I believe it may possibly have a vendor ROM. Your phone should have updated over a month ago to MIUI 10. At this point I believe the only solution would be to unlock the bootloader in order to flash the latest version. Unfortunately this takes about 30 days after the unlock is requested.
That's the 3UK version of global.
No updates as of yet,either be patient or unlock bootloader and flash global stable of Pie.
Yes. And to be honest, DO NOT rush for 9.0. There is severe battery drain on 10.2.2.0 and 10.2.3.0. I used to get 6+ hours of SOT (screen on time), on 10.2.2.0 I would get about 5hrs, on the latest 10.2.3.0 I get 4 hours. Others have complained about the same. In my opinion, the added features aren't worth the battery life lost.

We have 3 Mi8's in our house
Personally I am using the Mi-Globe version " globeROM_v10_dipper_9.3.21_cfg" it is fantastic! It has all of the features such as dark mode, AOD options, face unlock, charging animations, the best themes from all over the world and zero ads.
On the other 2 phones we have the official 10.2.3. While its not as good as 9.3.21 the battery life is still about 8 hours SOT.
hey !! just got my mi 11 and love it ,i change my s21 ultra for it.
better screen and very much more smooth then the galaxy (my opinion)
my question is i saw thers a new firmware for global 12.5.3 but i still got the 12.5.1 why i didnt got the update ?
im from israel and got the global version. does it takes times to get the firmware ?
thx !!!
There is a Chinese version upgrade, but I think global is still 12.5.1.
go here:
[Firmware] Xiaomi Mi 11 [venus] [Auto updated!]
Xiaomi custom users face a problem with firmware updates. As there are many devices with no one to provide the newest firmware update every single release, and developers who provide updates to devices may forget or be busy sometimes, so releases...
forum.xda-developers.com
and update it yourself
the eu version is still on 12.5.1.0
welcome to xiaomi where a new device gets updates every now and than or maybe never
Whats in the new update that makes you want it?
I remember the good time with my pixel3, every begining of the month i had an uptade.

well you can have that experience (frequent updates) on your xiaomi by switching to xiaomi.eu weekly ROM
but surely not all of those monthly pixel updates were good? some of them had to have had annoying bugs which made the whole experience somewhat sour
stock phone hardware and software is so good now (for the most part) that there really is no need to update them so often (excluding the security patches)
just enjoy the phone as is - Mi 11 is blazing fast + feature rich and, at least I, find no need to have it updated regularly (especially after MIUI 12.5. update released recently)
the only feature I wish for on my Mi 11 is the option to choose 90Hz refresh rate in settings (without having to download 3rd party apps to do so)
120Hz is kinda overkill and just drains the battery much faster - 90Hz would be a happy medium between 60 and 120Hz on offer in MIUI
12.5.2 is out.

What is your Build Code ? 12.5.1.0.RKBEUXM ? or 12.5.1.0.RKBMIXM
If you have EUXM it's a EEE/EEA (European Version) and it's actually the lastest build.
If you have MIXM it's a Global (International Version) and actually 12.5.3.0 is the lastest build.
So depending yourRegion Code, you can download the Fastboot ROM and install local update easily.
My Mi 11 Claud White was EUSF (because an EU custom by my carrier) and i have unblock Bootloader (waiting 168 Hours - [1 week]) and migrate on MIXM Glabal International for have more recent update.
I have tried also Xiaomi.eu ROMS (Chinese ROMS custom / Translated) but thez have a lot of bugs (MMS don't work, Black Theme issues, Theme Manager in Chinese / Google Translate, Some Google Apps unstable like Phone)
Does anybody know if you were to revert back to the phones original firmware (Chinese) from the EU ROM would it be possible to relock the bootloader safely. Thought I heard that this wasn't possible but now I'm not sure as this was some time ago.
Yu can, by using song miflash. BUT only with the firmware wat was on it... So global phone can't get locked with CN build and vice versa
After posting it seems some people have problems with Google syncing and such so for for someone paid someone not in China maybe it's not the best option for someone outside China.
I'm using the weekly beta CN version (A12) for months now and didn't have any issues. Syncing works without problems and since I disabled (removed) the powerkeeper all messages arrive on time. Let's say with my kind of phone usage I didn't have any problems or heat ups. Therefore using as daily driver and didn't regret it.
Also tried .eu, GLOBAL and EEA versions. But always came back to the CN weekly one.
Great, so is the weekly Chinese A12 already up to MIUI 13? Maybe I'll just go ahead and give it a try.

I'm using the weekly/daily from here:

Never had an issue with it. But if you are coming from another version I strongly recommend to do a "full install with wipe" the first time. Otherwise you will run into issues here and there. In worst case just get into bootloop. So backup and use the first version from install.bat with wipe.
From 27.12.2021 on it is already on MiUi 13 "beta". But you won't see really a difference. The MiUi in use here might be more in the background. But no visible change from the weekly/daily 12.5.
Hi everyone,
I got my phone from a website. It said it was a Oneplus 10 Pro 2215 with OxygenOS. After receiving the device I noticed it was a 2210 model that was flashed with 2215 firmware. I didn't have an issue with this but I have been noticing the that OxygenOS experience has been meh in my opinion and its basically a fork of the ColorOS honestly, I think the ColorOS is better than OxygenOS since OOS is basically the same thing with some of the features stripped out. (just a lot of other Chinese apps included which can be deleted anyways)
Anyways my question is.
What is the process to get my phone back on ColorOS? I think I would prefer this over the current OOS, I flash COS 12.1 on my Oneplus 7 Pro and I think it's better.
Yes color os is very good
