[Firmware] Xiaomi Mi 8 [DIPPER] [Auto updated daily!]

All Xiaomi users suffer from a single problem, Firmware update. As there are many devices with no one to provide the newest firmware update every single release. And also developers who provide updates to devices may forget or be busy sometimes, so releases are provided later. Here is my simple solution:

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is Firmware? Is it a full ROM or OTA package?
Firmware is not a ROM nor OTA Package, it's a set of low-level drivers which helps the operating system do whatever it wants to do. It includes various things like Modem, Bluetooth, Bootloader, DSP and etc.
Why should I update the Firmware?
Firmware is provided from Xiaomi directly, and there are no sources for it to let developers build and edit it on their own like custom ROMs, so if you want to keep your device up to date always update your firmware!
Do I need updating the Firmware If I'm MIUI official or custom ROM user?
No, MIUI ROMs contain the firmware-update package which I extract and provide here.
What are the supported devices?
All Snapdragon and MTK devices including China-only devices.
Check the full devices list here
How to update firmware?
1- Download the package you want to flash. IT MUST BE NAMED WITH THE SAME CODENAME OF YOUR DEVICE.
2- Flash it using TWRP or any custom recovery. There's no need to wipe/format anything before or after the installation.
How to check the updated firmware?
Usually, the modem gets updated with newer firmware, you can check it in Settings > About > Baseband.

Have you tried Xiaomi.eu's ROM? I've been enjoying my Mi 8 so far with their MIUI10 ROM (China based yet works so well!)
The process is quite noob friendly too!

why are these firmwares provided?
When i update the official rom (via OTA or TWRP) or with XIAOMI.EU roms, the firmware isn't updated?
I'm new to Xiaomi devices, when i was on OnePlus i've never updated firmwares, only roms.

Until Qualcomm releases their kernel source code for Snap 845, along with Xiaomi following their lead for the Mi 8, there wouldn't be any (AOSP) development for it.
The only custom ROM Alternative now is Xiaomi.eu's MIUI10 Beta ROM. I'm running it right now & it's miles better an MIUI9, at least until AOSP comes out. You should try it

No problem, yes I think it is possible since there is no anti roll back for our device. But I am not quite sure about it.

nice to see another development, let me test. Thanks
2 question :
- can you make statusbar under notch so we can see the time
- if I have TWRP Backups should I move to folder PBRP and then restore?

Sorry for statusbar i'm not able to hide notch....
For backups, i've not tested a restore, but you should move yours to PBRP folder and then you can try to restore.

Finally, a MI 8 recovery with OTA survival.
Big ups!
(Bootloader locked so can't test it....gotta wait a month)

Last build twrp 3.2.3 is 1208.
What build in a pitchblack?

Great to see a custom recovery for Mi8.
Thanks man

Could you give a bit more of info about this?
It just checks ARB and doesn't let you install if it is below the current ARB number?

Sorry i'm not the developer of this recovery, i've just done a simple porting to MI 8 Dipper.
Btw, this is the developer's changelog:
Code:
Info
PitchBlack v2.9.0
Based on TWRP 3.2.3
Update Log :
- Initial NON-ARB (Support update and downgrade miui rom ARB 4 ARB 3, ARB 3 ARB 4. Without delete firmware, baseband and etc-update the follow firmware)
- AutoReboot Fixed
- Update DM Verity Logic
- Update fstab flags
- Update magisk
- Update unroot magisk
- Update noverity
- Etc
and this it the option to enable to avoid ARB:
Btw i've not tested this, because my MI 8 dosn't have ARB (i've always been on xiaomi.eu or Custom rom, never on official MIUI).

This feture is not tested on MI 8 and is not clear how to use or what it does, so atm i've removed the ARB related features from OP (could be dangerous to use this untested features to roll back from Pie to Oreo)

Thanks for clarifying. It would be great to have a tool that prevents us from flashing files with lower arb counter in the future, just to avoid all the bricks.

This depends on the custom ROM, if it uses pre-built vendor you will have to update vendor once the ROM fw+vendor requirement changes.

@yshalsager : thank you for your answer.
Did you produce that vendor image file for mi11lite4G (courbet) as a single file? If not how could we have access to that vendor partition? Do we have to extract it from stock ROM ourselves?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, Mi-vendor-updater project is no longer maintained (was maintained by another person), so you can use my Flashable Firmware Creator tool to extract fw+vendor on your own. I will try to revive vendor updater project soon.

Ok thank you!
One last question (probably too much unrelated, but I'll ask it anyway...):
In your opinion/experience would the lack of vendor image be the origin of product partition/mounting errors during TWRP operations/flashings or these TWRP product errors shown at TWRP are related to some other issues and not caused by that particular vendor image absence?
I'm currently on Latest @Golbinex crdroid ROM, and he mentioned the need for that vendor image/partition at its flashing instructions post.
Presently I'm facing issues with Google assistant not being triggered with the ok/hey Google voice command...
Cheers!

i'm interested because following the instructions to install any of the custom ROM available, you are required to flash original firmware + vendor first.
i was on stock ROM and i was able to skip this step, but what if i want to try another custom ROM? do i need to flash fw + vendor first? and it's required some wipes or format some partitions after the fashing?

As you was on stock, you don't have to flash, and same goes for switching ROMs, which requires wiping just data+cache and flashing the new rom.

Are you using stock Realme OS at the moment? Or do you already have a custom OS installed over RUI1.0? If running stock OS, simply update to the RUI.2.0 firmware, but I think it's best at this time to use version number ending in C.05.
If already running a custom OS over a RUI1.0 firmware, my method would be to follow the guide to flash back to stock first. Someone else here might have a simpler method though.

Does this work on c12 that has the current RUI2 update? I just wanna make sure cuz it's my first time installing custom rom.
Does wifi and bluetooth work?

What version is the current RUI2 update right now? I had problems installing some custom ROMS over anything higher than C.05 and C.06. I don't know about the latest builds of CipherOS though.

I am currently runnung c.05 so is it safe for me to install this rom? I have heard that it has some mtp issues.

I don't know if MTP is fixed yet, but when I tested it in November/December, there was no MTP. I remember I had to copy files using FTP in the MiXplorer app.
[edit: MTP is working for both adb and file transfer via USB cable if you install this version of CipherOS (Janurary 15, 2022) over Realme firmware version ending in C.05
Also, A2DP is working on this new version so you can play music through Bluetooth ]

i don't understand..Realme c11(rmx2185) never got realme ui 2.0 update...
Then how are they saying that one needs to update to realme ui 2.0 ?

Not right. C11 did get RUI 2.0. If you check the software version, version numbers ending in C.xx is RUI 2.0. Version numbers ending in A.xx is RUI 1.0

If you're still running the official firmware from Realme, you can update over the air without a computer. This works even if you have unlocked the bootloader on the phone.
Which build number is your phone at the moment?

Hi,
I am having issues with installing custom roms on my Realme C11 (RMX2185)
When I try to install any rom from here they all say that it cannot find /data
If you could give me some help that would be appreciated.
Thanks, Levi

Is there a way to install Realme UI 2.0 via flash tools? I cannot find the required files anywhere. Is flashing back to stock and updating the only way? I have the C11 2GB 2020 model.

Are you sure C11 stock fw has a UI 2 firmware available for it? I thought only C12 phones were able to update to UI 2 firmware. Hence why so many C11 custom operating systems (many produced by Minati) required A.95 or A.xxx versions of firmware whereas the C12 model had C.05 and higher C.xx versions of firmware. I'm not sure though as I haven't messed with these phones for a while.
[edit: I saw a comment on the Telegram page "Realme G35 series" about the final firmware versions for C11 and C12 phones:
For C11(RMX2185)
A.109 is last UI 1.0
For C12 (RMX2189)
A.95 is last UI 1.0
C.13 is last UI 2.0 ]

I actually don't know, I just thought that C11 and C12 have very similar hardware that there should be some sort of update available.

Still in testing.

YES, finally, thanks
But I don't know everything about Rom dev, will you continue to become OFFICIAL rom?

Yes its Recommanded to use LOS Recovery bc your rom may break if you you use TWRP based recovery for OTAs.

Thank you x10k, I hope testing is going well for beyond2lte, I can't wait Evolution X is my favorite custom ROM on the S10+. I will be spending today getting thunferdtormS 21st s10 kernel 4.14.264 aosp version to compile with magisk 24.3 inside. I've got the oneui4.1 version to compile on slackware-15.0 and run on S10+. MSG me if you need and help with testing and feedback. I'm currently sub contracting for Samsung in the uk. I've found on the S10+ that Roms relying on lineage recovery, have had loads of problems post install with them ending up unusable apart from lineage os. I've spent many weeks trying to identify the issues and solve them. Ive used works debug and it is impart down to the frp lock which will not stay off as it does when using twrp. And post lineage recovery use it takes 4 to 5 factory resets using a combination file made from latest firmware.

Here are some easy tricks to easily remove FRP lock on Samsung Galaxy devices by flashing Samsung combination file (firmware) using Odin.

Work on s10e exynos?

Flashing through twrp will only break OTA?

As this rom uses encryption, it will be possible to lose your data while using twrp...

Flashed with LiOs recovery after formatting data+cache+formattiung data after flashing and bootloop(S10e exynos). Did I do something wrong?

I also got the bootloop with the S10e (with Lineage recovery).

Worked fine in galaxy s10 - used TWRP.
Format data, disabler, flashed rom and formated data again and flashed to disable encr. Booted and tryed for a while - forced encr again and still worked for me. Had some small isues with high youvh sensitivity etc but didnt notice anything bigger.
Not a fan that gapps is included s you have to start degooglise firtst thing - either disable/remove and switch to microg and i have to fix so i get the signature spoofing alright for it before i can use it. Maybe later on. Either way nice initiative love evo!

sorry... but why is the A11 firmware in the link is firmware for raphael? is it meant to be like this??!
anyway, i flashed it (using TWRP) and it is amazing!!! love the evolver and it has so much that other ROMs do not have. Fingerprint is also a lot faster than any other ROM. thank you for developing!
edit: found a problem with rooting... usually, i just flash the magisk Apk in twrp and it is rooted. however, i tried that and renamed to zip and even used a different magisk version, but all of them got me stuck on the booting screen (e in the middle with words around it with no color, like just loading). i had to dirty flash every time to fix it.. not sure if it's just me...
device is beyond1lte

Hi any need on the s10+ beyond2lte I know you said its still testing, is there a time line. My anticipation is at 100% after seeing evo-6.4 in action. I've also got thunderstorms aosp kernel 4.14.264 with magisk 24.3 inside compiled but untested as I'm on ambasadi at the moment.
I got 3647 in 3dmark today which is higher than 97% of S10+ devices tested. I got 3556 3dmark with evolutionX-5.9.1 Android 11, ive found about 20% performance increase from A11 to A12 and cant wait to see how 6.4 compares. I spent hours adjusting the ts_schedutil of thunderstorm kernel up_rate_limit and down_rate_limit and disabling sched_energy_aware and tweaking build.prop to achieve 3dmark result of 3647 my highest ever. The changes would work on a standard schedutil governor and were "up_rate_limit 500" "down_rate_limit 4000 on big CPU's and 3000 on middle and small.

I just used the stock firmware (after flashing the stock ROM) to flash twrp and then the zip and it works fine.

I am curious why we are to use A11 firmware if this is built on Android 12?
I'm running AOSP extended and currently on Android 12. I'm experiencing high battery drain to the point where the phone just shuts off halfway through the day. looking for an alternative. I'd rather not downgrade though. Can I flash this on A12? Is this stable for everyday use?

Hello ı have seen some comments about bootlooping with s10e did anyone got it working?
