Ive just received my Mi Max from Top-One.
It is the S652, 3gb ram, 64gb storage
It has Miui 7.3.14.0.0
How do I update it to the latest stable MIUI version?
thank you
(when i use the in built updater it tells me that there are no updates available )
I think only the 32gb 650 has a global rom at the moment. I have the 652 4gb 128gb Max and am waiting for that global rom to come. Check on en.miui.com in the download section for the Max.
In the meantime, check if your ROM is legit. Actually, I'd unlock the bootloader and flash a new ROM to be sure.
Register a Mi account and apply for bootloader unlocking. Doesn't matter if you're outside of China and use a non Chinese number and state your reason in English. Takes a few days.
I bought a Mi5, Max, and Redmi Pro then made three new accounts and unlocked each one within 4 days.
Most important is to probably make sure you're not on a vendor rom.
Also tinker the app notifications. Enable notification light, lock screen notification, floating etc.
You might also want to "lock" apps in the memory so they won't reload or stop after you switch apps. To do that press the menu button and swipe down to.the app you want to be locked in memory. Then press the lock key.

How?
Vendor ROMs
Most Xiaomi devices that are bought through unofficial channels (grey market) come with this type of ROM. It has multiple languages and Google Play Store, but often also adware and bloatware, which are annoying and slow the phone down. This ROM is also buggy and unoptimised, so some things might not work (e.g. battery showing negative percentage or the rear LED not working at all), you might encounter issues and inconsistencies (e.g. freezing, lagging) and because of these attributes it is not safe to use. You can get rid of this ROM by flashing another ROM, usually via MiFlash. If your bootloader is locked, you can only flash official ROMs and only via EDL mode (see here).
Spotting a vendor ROM
It has system languages available other than Chinese and English
It has Google Play Store
Below Settings > About phone, MIUI version is fake (e.g. V7.00.99.00, V7.0.7.0.0 or 7.91.8.0) and the letter code afterwards has 'CN' or 'CL' in it
So what are the steps necessary to get this onto the latest stable official miui rom?
First thing you want to do is to get rid of the vendor ROM on your phone. En.miui.com has some tutorials on how to do it.

I have the exact same phone model (Mi Max Pro 3GB RAM, 64GB ROM) and the exact same
ROM: MIUI 7.3.14.0.0 Global as you have. Got my phone from a Chinese ebay vendor with very good
to excellent reviews.
Been using this 'unofficial vendor ROM' for quite sometime now and in fairness to whoever made the 'custom'
vendor ROM (I believe it is derived from the official global ROM of the 32GB Mi Max), the vendor ROM is very stable
and working very well for me. No reboots, forced closes/crashes or major problems with any of my 130+ apps:
Google apps (Gmail, playstore, newsstand, etc.), 10+ paid apps and 100+ free apps. The good thing about the ROM
is it has ZERO Chinese characters or apps in it. Just choose 'English' as default language and you're good to go.
I have decided to wait for the OFFICIAL global rom for the Mi Max Pro 64GB since the official Chinese ROM is
no good - it doesn't have playstore installed and installing playstore from third party sites is just as risky and tricky as having
a vendor/custom rom in the first place since you will be sideloading the playstore app, play services (and other supporting apps)
anyway. If you don't understand Chinese, how can you trust the sources of those sideloaded playstore apps? I'd rather
trust my vendor ROM as it comes from a seller with very good ebay rating (they care a lot about positive and negative feedback).
A Mi Max phone from a vendor selling the phone with malware and adware infested ROM will be bombarded with negative feedback.
Besides, I have not noticed any malicious apps, unusual ads or bloatware on this vendor ROM (MIUI 7.3.14.0.0) and
I trust it is the best option for me until such time the OFFICIAL global ROM for MI MAX PRO 64GB is released.
If you decide to go official, download the Chinese ROM but don't install playstore. Installing it from dubious sources
can introduce bloatware and malicious apps as well if you are not familiar with the Chinese app market or don't understand
a single Chinese character.

You can still install Google services apk's from legit sites like apk mirror if you want to stay on the China ROM. Or check out xiaomi.eu's ROM.

EDL mode (Emergency Download Mode) allows to bypass the locked bootloader, but xiaomi can disable this edl mode with a simple update (e.g. mi5 since MIUI 7.3.x.x )
with bootloader unlocked your phone is totally open

Honestly I think you have a greater shot at bricking your phone after flashing a custom rom if it's locked. Or flashing the wrong firmware from a different model. I didn't have to do a battery pull after I flashed the wrong firmware on my Helium when I first got it. It's probably because I was already unlocked. I don't know why anyone here wouldn't wanna unlock.

Just an update. Finally got rid of the vendor ROM after Xiaomi released the official global ROM for helium devices.

Can you explain this more please
Hi all
I'm considering getting the Mi 5s at the moment. I'm not sure yet if I wanna root it and get MIUI rom on it, or if I should leave the original Chinese MI Rom on it.
What I discovered so far, I will probably loose all mobile payment (with NFC) functions by rooting it, something I can probably live with. Also some games will refuse to start (looking at you, Pokemon Go), I guess I could live with that too.
What I clearly want though, is full phone encryption. Is that working for you who have the international xiaomi.eu (MIUI) rom installed, or will it crash instead of starting to encrypt?
Thanks
pato
Apart from having to add gapps and some Chinese bloat, is there any other downside to sticking with the Chinese ROM?
What upsides are there if any?
Thanks.
Can anyone reply please? I've found one at an excellent price and want to snag it before it goes.
You can keep using the chinese one and have it fully functional, but some polish is missing and some aspects of MIUI will be chinese even with the language set to english. The biggest one I noticed is the theme and wallpaper store - it's always chinese, and even the same themes downloaded under the chinese theme store are different (I think the chinese store doesn't allow icon packs?). Searching for themes by their english name doesn't work on the chinese theme store either.
There's also a lot more china-specific settings and services that are just gone in the actual global ROM, the global ROM is much more barebones (uses less memory too) than the chinese ROM and not everything can simply be uninstalled in the chinese rom without root, just hidden. The global ROM basically just comes with google play services and common google apps, MIUI replacements for AOSP basic apps like calculator/calendar/weather/browser/music/etc and is as bland as possible to appeal to a larger audience.
Global rom is definitely a better experience, but you CAN use the chinese ROM just fine. I did for awhile until the global ROM came out, flashed it immediately because I wanted a cleaner OS with ~10 less random chinese apps sitting in the app drawer.
Just buy it and flash Global Rom on it

Thanks for the reply. I'm not particularly bothered by that stuff, I just want regular ota updates and miui 9. I've heard that some notifications have a problem on the Chinese rom and Google contacts has a problem syncing. Did you find that?

I don't really want to mess around with the phone at all. I'm not a flash/mod disciple.
My Mix 2 has Chinese rom and I find it OK after I installed the Google installer app. I stopped all Chinese roms that I do not need. With 256 GB, I do not worry about the stopped Chinese roms eating into the memory.

Thanks for the replies. I've ordered it with the Chinese ROM.
Just a quick update to say that the Chinese rom is perfectly ok for me. No glaring issues at all.

I have the same experience after a week using the China ROM on my Redmi 5 Plus
With China ROM I was able to delete 80% of china bloatware and everything else runs just fine and smooth, calls, GPS, email, etc. (with Gapps) so if you never flashed a ROM before, I recommend to keep the China ROM instead of the Global
Haha, many Chinese flash the global rom just for the clean OS and the AOSP notification bar.
If I was to get the device with the Chinese ROM installed is it simply a case of downloading the global ROM from the mini website and installing it via the updater app or will the bootloader need to be unlocked? Seen a couple of good deals but all for the Chinese version.

its not so easy, you need to get a unlock approval from xiaomi, then you need to wait to unlock the bootloader, and then you can flash whatever you want.
From getting the approval to the finished unlocked bootloader, it will take about 3-5 days
i am looking to purchase mi 9 once it is released in china, but how long does it take for the MIUI 10 global rom available to download?

Ah ok. You need to deactivate your Xiaomi account for the phone. Registering throws up all sorts of stuff including ads etc. After that you should be good to go.
It's just bugging me that I can't use something that is part of the phone. I also can't use the Mi PC Suite either, it doesn't detect my phone. Not that it's dire, just the fact that it won't work irks me ;p I'm using Havoc rom atm anyways, but knowing me I'll be switching around a lot
How come that these devices are still Uncertified on Google Play Store?
These devices are getting third or forth iteration of ROM but they are still Store Uncertified, how is this possible?!
Will Xiaomi ever get certification for these devices or things are stay forever like this, no certification and that's it?!
I mean, this is not life important to me but it's strange, at least from my point of view.
Thank You in advance on reading and possible answer!

Some Xiaomi phones have a vendor rom, typically purchased from chinese websites to bypass the playstore ban in China. They will show up as uncertified I think. Or if you experiment with the beta rom, these are also uncertified.

In fact, i have downloaded ROM v9.5.14 and flashed on phone with adb sideload. so i even didn't use custom recovery for ROM flashing!

As was mentioned above, unlocked bootloader is enough to make you uncertified. If you unlock bootloader, you must also use magisk to be certified again.
OK. Great! Excellent! Super duper!
Is it possible to go with fastboot version of Global ROM, and use flash_all_lock.sh to achieve device store certification?
Thank's!
@Jehonan This is most likely due to the fingerprint line in build.prop, i experienced the same issue when i flashed the latest MIUI 10 and i fixed it by modifying that line, please try to attach build.prop and i will have a look!

Repost: If you are rooted, download and install Preferences Manager from playstore. Grant root and find Google Playstore from the app and search for "device.google-certified" and set to true.
No need to reflash whole rom
Also, Resurrection Remix here. Play store still says certified
I'm not quite sure what to make of the whole situation, but I would hate to not any important updates on my phone in the future. For Huawei phones it's not that easy to switch to cutom roms, since I would need to buy a bootloader-unlock-key from a semi trustworthy source for ~30€+.... So before I get into any of that, I wanted to make sure, that I would ultimately be able to bypass all the possible restrictions.
Will I be able to run a fully functional Android version on my phone (Huawei P10 Plus) with Playstore and most importantly security updates or will my device still be 'detected' as an unsupported device?
Hey there,
It seems like you can unlock your phone for free given this post: link
I didn't test it so i can't guarantee, sorry!
But to answer your Question: Yes theoretically LineageOS would give you the Security Updates and with Open GApps you would also be able to use the Playstore and everything else from Google.
BUT it looks like there is no Official or even Unofficial LineageOS Build for your phone
The only option i found is this: OpenKirin
But i can't tell you much more about it, sorry
Thanks for the link, will definitely give that a read!
Hm I didn't even think about IF there was a Lineage build for my phone,

some options to work with, in case they can't work it out with Google!
Thanks!
