[Q] Just bought this device: do I need to flash the rom? - Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers

Hi everyone. I am new to this sub.
Was wondering if my device is ready to use, or do I need to flash it.
Ordered global rom, but not sure if this is stock. Don't want bloat, and need google play store.
Thank you!

Hey! If its genuinely a Global version the writing on the box should be in English, and if the handset hasn't been tampered with the box should come sealed in cellophane.
If that's the case then you shouldn't have to flash anything at all. If the handset comes with the Chinese ROM installed and you want native Google Apps you'll have to flash the Global ROM

Whether its China or Global it doesn't matter. Flashing to Global ROM is straightforward, risk free and takes just 10 minutes.

check your MIUI rom version. if your rom version is not four digits with 3 dots, e.g: 8.1.2.0 then yours is not on official rom.
if it is not on official MIUI rom, then its always good to flash with the stable global MIUI rom.

Hey, AFAIK the latest stable Global ROM is: MIUI Global 8.1 | Stable 8.1.4.0 - Android 6.0.1 - Security Patch Level 2016-12-01
Try running the system updater app and see if you can grab the latest OTA
(System -> About Phone -> System Updates [at the bottom])

That should be unofficial rom or usually called distributor rom. Usually you will encounter ads.
So if its me, i will flash it with official rom. The latest version is 8.1.6.0 global miui

I just got mine from ordering from Aliexpress also, I think from the Xiaomi direct store. Just received it and I did get to choose English and it does have Google Play Store. I found it weird and interesting that I couldn't select US as the locale so I selected HK for now.
Oh forgot to mention my box was all in Chinese. I've also updated from some version of 8 to 8.1.4.0 stable.

I found it strange already because my previous rom was EU version. What's the difference between global and EU?
Send from my Mi 10 Lite 5G
The Eu rom uses Google applications for contacts, calendar, calls, etc. and there is no recording of calls

Ok, will do but i was a bit confused since it said global but the name referring to EEA which EU..... didn't wanna brick the phone.
Also do i have to be unlocked to upgrade?
Yeah, True. EEA is EU and Mi is global. Its confusing. I guess if you try to Update manually with inbuilt Updater (three dot) the Phone will only Flash correct Roms because without open bootloader you cant switch from EU to global oder Chinese etc.
It's quite tricky because as I checked with Mi9 you can swap regions hassle free with XiaoMiTool V2. Even with locked BL. Here, with F3 I haven't checked yet because... I'm a bit scared of getting a brick :/
With stock recovery you can easy upgrade (with correct FW ofc). Go to updater app in settings, tap at MIUI12 logo few times until some text appears. Then, 3 dots and choose local file with FW and go ahead with updating. I have done it to 12.5.6 (stable beta).

There is no beta, it's only stable....if im choosing the correct FW
Apologise, I downloaded it from somewhere else where it shows as stable beta (whatever it is - they also said is stable but not fully send to users).
But yeah, go ahead with full recovery rom.

Cheers, downloading rn.
I just click the 3 dots and all should be good? I'm locked with BL also.
Thanks in advance.
Click it and check if you have option like choose update package. If not, you must tap at miui_logo as long and you see 'additional update features are on' notification.

Question What is Kernel Reboot:RTC?

I am on Miui 12.0.3.0 RKHINXM and I am facing reboot and shutdown issue twice a month. When I check miui logs it shows kernel reboot: keypad for shutdown and kernel reboot: rtc for restart.
Should I update to latest version? Latest version has much lower battery backup as per some users.
Attached is the screenshot.

Hi. Anyone?
Should I update or not as my phone came with this software and its working fine apart from occasionally rebooting 2-3times a month.
Idk about kernel reboot rtc things bugs...but i'm suggest you to update it to the latest version..at least latest version of A11 which is MIUI 12.5.18/ 12.5.19, it's already too far your rom version to the last version (12.0.x. to 12.5.x) ..if it's bugs from rom, i think last version should already fixed that bugs.

Fastboot roms can be flashed from the Mi flash apps
Recovery roms are flashed from device settings page, but if it's a beta rom you will need a mi account that is in the china beta program
There's a magisk module that will allow you to skip that account check, you need to be rooted
Can you give me a link to download the magisk module? I will install the stock chinarom and upgrade from there. Thanks

Question I have several problems when I get to Miui 14

The first thing I want to say is that I'm using Google Translate
I just updated the EU ROM MIUI 14 and I have 2 errors below.
+when I first uploaded the rom, the status bar was normal but then the status bar, the notification panel, it was completely transparent,
+When I go to Google services and some parts of the settings, it changes the background color to light brown.
I need to know if it's a ROM bug or if I've
installed something wrong, and I'll fix it.
looking forward to help from everyone..
I know the EU ROM can't update via OTAs. But on MIUI 14, I open the update section, there is a message "Choose to update via OTA or via TWRP" I also see the section Select update package in the settings section
Thank you.

When updating from android to the next android you better make factory reset to avoid confliction between the two systems.

First I thank you for your reply.
i tried factory reset but it didn't fix it.
my case is like reading mode, but i don't turn it on at all both before the upgrade and after the upgrade.
When I upgrade, I can restore previously backed up data.
Which EU version you installed is it Stable or Beta.
When this happens it is advised to install original version of miui and then flash EU one to resolve issues.
upgrading from 13.0.6 upwards shouldn't be an issue i expect you must have had something on the system which is broken before hand.

i am not good at computer, before upgrade was running miui 12.5.8 .
now i need to go back to 12.5.8 or to miui china.
if back to 12.5.8, I asked the store where I bought it and flashed the rom, it said "if back to the old version of 12.5.8, the phone may leak.
if i go to miui china, can i update myself via ota to go back to miui.eu.
