Global Rom Questions

Hi
I have just received my Mi Max 126gb Helium from GeekBuying.Com and it has been pre-loaded with the MIUI Global 7.3.1 Stable.
My questions are:
1. I didn't think there was a global rom for helium or is that just MIUI8 global?
2. Can I flash MIUI8 over this version and retain OTA?
3. Can I trust the version that is on?
Thanks for any help.
Paul.

1. Fake, no official global rom for helium yet
2. I guess you can(not a miui user)
3. I wouldn't

Yeah, you most likely have tampered MIUI firmware on it. You can try to flash MIUI8 via the updater app, but you'll probably get an error. You can try to unlock your bootloader and flash the official MIUI ROM via fastboot or flash via EDL mode with locked bootloader.

The seller flashed the system.img from the Hydrogen Global rom on it so you have the google apps. To go back to stock you have to flash the latest Chinese Helium ROM (either the Miui 8 developer rom or the Miui 7.5 stable rom.) Then I would unlock your bootloader then flash twrp and either my Rooted Global Rom for the Helium or something based on CM13.

Thanks for all your replies, I appreciate it.
In the end I used DoomSlayer's method of getting TWRP on without unlocking BL. I then installed ajsmsg78's global MIUI8 rom and it's all sorted.
Recommend the global rom from ajsmsg78. Looks and feels great.
Thanks again to all who replied.

It is 6..0 but I have no choice.
It looks like the baseband is different in the new ROM.

Hi. Those versions are only available through the updater app if you have China dev or global dev ROM installed. Your device will come with global stable probably and to experience miui 9 and android 7 you will have to flash twrp and flash the dev ROM or use MiFlash with the fastboot method.

Hi! Don't know what version they installed. I bought this one: https://www.gearbest.com/cell-phone...il_sys&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=shipping
One more question: it comes with bootloader unlocked? Anyway there's tutorial to follow everywhere =)

If it's from gearbest i think it will come with global stable.
About the unlocked bootloader , i don't think so , but there are tutorials to flash roms without unlocking the bootloader if you wanna hurry flashing . The best is to unlock it officially and proceed after with flashing.

MIUI 9 - v7.10.19 - China Developer Rom .. That's the final rom they have released (until now) that I downloaded..
Probably it comes with GApps and Chinese 'bloatware' (I would throw them away with Titanium backup, no problem).
Does this have some problems?? Anyone installed this specific version yet?

Hi! If you refer to the post above you , yea , i've tested the china developer rom. It does not have gapps and has chinese xiaomi apps that can be uninstalled.
If you guys want to try the china developer rom , you can download the latest version from xiaomi.eu , it's based on it and has gapps. Also , it is optimised for a smoother experience and no bloatware.

How often do you get updates?

I am new to Mi 6 and I am thinking to root. But how frequent are the updates? I want to know so that I can decide whether to root now or not. And can you get updates after root?
One extra question is that you use odin for samsung phones to flash stock firmware, what you use for mi 6?
Thanks

Depends on ROM you are using. If it's DEV rom - updates are every week (thursday/friday). If it's global - updates are irregular, made in long intervals of time.
I, personally, am using xiaomi.eu dev rom (MIUI 9.1 v. 7.11.16), and I have rooted Mi6. After update you are losing root and you'll need to root again. So, answering your question - you can update safely even if you have root, but you will need to root again.
When I was switching from stock global to xiaomi.eu rom, I simply unlocked bootloader (if you have agreement from Xiaomi), flashed twrp, then flashed rom from zip. After that you have OTA updates so it's simple and easy.
If you want stock rom - I suggest using MiFlash tool.

Hey thanks man. So even with root and twrp I will get OTA updates? I am on global rom

Sure, you have to unlock the bootloader of your phone before you can install TWRP and root.
Then you can install whatever you want... MIUI Weekly ROMs, Stable ROMs, custom ROMs .. etc.

Q about rollback

—Answered— Thank You!!
Hi, I just bought Redmi Note 5 today and after I turn it on, it is already on MIUI 10 8.7.5 Global Beta. The question is, can I roll it back to to MIUI 9.6 Global Stable? Because I found this rom isn't comfortable and I found so many bugs. I don't want to update it to MIUI 10 stable yet because ppl in MIUI forums complained that there are some bugs.
Thanks

Wtf...New device came with Developer beta rom?

You can directly go from MIUI10 to 9.5.19
After downgrading just do a factory reset

note 8t 11.0.2.0 ota

my note 8t just had an ota update u.k 11.0.2.0 stable, has everyone else had this update.

Yea I got the update too, two weeks ago when I bought it in Germany (had MIUI 10 installed before but upgraded immediately).
But I guess the official miui download site has already a newer version: MIUI 11.0.3.0.
Checkout for the Redmi Note 8T EEA (PCXEUXM) as you got the EU version as well as me. The page says MIUI 10 but it is definitely MIUI 11. This version has a newer Android Security Patch level (December 19) and official theme support. I'm using it right now.
But there is also this page which got 11.0.5.0. I haven't tried this version yet. Maybe someone could give some feedback on this.
I also saw 11.0.4.0 floating somewhere on this Forum.

in settings on my note 8t it says miui global and not eea, iv heard eea version has less adds inside apps ? on my global you have to turn off adds in each app one by one, is it the same in eea, if not id rather have eea.

Hi. Can you relock the bootloader after installing Xiaomi.eu? I'm asking because i don't want to keep it open, will not experiment too much. Am mainly interested in default MIUI experience with all MI apps (dialler and messsages)...
Thanks.
