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.

Build number DUK-L09C636 now im in emui 8.0 beta, the problem happened when I wanna rollback to emui 5.0 using Firmware Finder. Help???
Bro, you won't be able to rollback to nougat until the official version is rolled out to the users. My device is C675 and I installed the Beta version as well but I couldn't get back to Nougat in spite of trying like 1000 times and spending almost 3 days on Google and XDA. I tried almost all the methods available there. Not to disappoint you but I'm waiting for the official Oreo version to be rolled out so that I can flash the same and do have a complete working device.
Cheers!!!

thanks for the answer!
Hurmmm just curious is oreo beta for honor any good? Any bugs or not working things? Why u guys want to rollback to nougat? Whats the obvious improvement? My wife owns Mate 9, the official oreo update was good and faster than nougat, but sadly there is no Huawei Histen (equalizer and bass settings for audio) in it which mate 10 series has.

Hello! What is your experience using MIUI 10 Beta ? How stable is it and are there any critical bugs in it? How do things go with energy consumption? How quickly do bugs fix there?
I want to know that did Xiaomi stopped beta program for miui 10? Or it's just they didn't provide weekly build today?
Because i'm on miui 10 beta and didn't recieve any uodate today. So i thought maybe since they have launched public stable buil so they have stopped beta program. Is it true?

It is because their devs are on holidays. They do this annually, they made a post about this and the next beta build comes at 11/10.
MIUI Beta and Stable are largely the same for now. Both are good in battery life and performance but I found MIUI 10 a bit stuttering with animations and scrolling compared to MIUI 9.6.4. Also weirdly the graphics options in PUBG has been reduced with MIUI 10. Don't know why.. Switched to MSM-X Pie Rom for now.

How? What about Anti Roll back? I was in Resurrection remix before Miui 10 but after miui 10 i have to stick with it because of ARB policy. Also miui 10 public build has no finger print lock option. But i'm on beta build so everything seems to be working fine here for now.

Arb doesn't apply to custom ROMs. You can switch between custom ROMS as usual. Just don't go back to a older version of MIUI. Fingerprint works in stable build for me.

Oh. Thanks. Then i'll definitely try Android Pie based Custom ROMS. But Camera quality becomes worse in Custom ROMS.
What's the point of having a good camera hardware if it's in no use in custom ROMS.

Wrong.
Most of the custom roms for whyred come with mi A2 camera pre installed,the you can add gcam onto that.there is no difference between miui and custom camera.because its not the operatint system that defines quality of the picture taken with camera,its the application you are using.
If its a better application or same,there wont be any difference.

Actually in my oneplus one and oneplus 5 custom roms doesn't give same camera quality as stock roms. That's why i'm afraid to flash custom rom on redmi note 5 pro. :/

If you have twrp recovery then just flash 9.6.2.0 fw less rom
Hi. I have a Redmi Note 5 (pro) Global version. I hate MIUI 10 too and want to roll back to 9.5.19 (which seems less buggy than 9.6.x) . Got the ROM from a great thread from miui dot com which I can't post being new here
The updater app tells me that I can't flash older versions
Recovery mode doesn't even offer flashing ROMs.
I can't unlock the bootloader now (have tried once, now have to wait 360hrs to try again??)
Am I stuck with MIUI 10?
THanks

You can roll back to Miui 9.6.4.0 with no problem from Miui10.
I am currently using Mi 11X (aliothin) running on Pixel Experience. The rom is pretty smooth, but is still a bit buggy at places and lacks stock features like the camera, dolby, memc etc. Recently, Xiaomi has been rolling out the 12.5 enhanced edition globally for alioth devices, which supposedly should be very smooth, with great battery life. Can you comment on this based on your experience?
Can you give me a link to that enhanced edition? I have been using Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM with Root, its ok. I would prefer Vanilla Android, but I need some Stock features, like MIUI Dolby Atmos and the camera-app
I have been trying to install it on my Poco F3. I have watched the YouTube videos by Munchy, but I can't get it to work by update or flashing in twrp. Guess I will have to wait until it rolls out to me.

I read in the changelog of the stable beta 12.5.3 india and global that it is the Enhanced version. I don't flash it because I still have locked bootloader and my region is EEA. However being a beta I don't know if it works well ... I would wait otherwise you can try it in preview on xiaomi.eu.

You can only flash with TWRP or recovery stock. "Mi flash" flashes only fastboot roms and 12.5.3. global is not yet available in fastboot.
But I don't know if the flash of a beta works well.
If you do, let us know how it went.
Good flash ...
If anyone download, does this finally have performance mode toggle inside battery?

The Recovery ZIP you have to flash with TWRP. You can only Mi Flash with Fastboot ROMs, not Recovery ones.

I don't like the answers you've got... It should be possible to flash via miui directly . That's the best way if possible as you will avoid all the potential bugs and slowdowns from the buggy twrps we have....
Open settings , about phone , open updates and tap on the center of the screen on the picture above where it says 12.5 lots of times just like how you open developer options - you have to click like 5-10 times idk....
Afterwards it will say additional options unlocked , click on top right menu , click on choose update package and point it towards the miui download.
It should work...

You are right, there is also this method. I forgot to mention it. Do you know if it also works with the TWRP installed?

Tried it now and unless ur on global rom it automatically fails the check , on poco f3 even if u are on global rom it biches about closed beta and doesn't instal... mi11 should be able to install based on yt...
Nebrassy twrp gives error 7 but vasi twrp gives no error and installs without issues - flash reboot to bootloader , boot twrp by cmd and wipe data. Only after all this boot system.
I'll try to install official way asap but for now it looks like it's doing alright.
Performance mode is there - so to answer original question YES. It's more than worth to install enhanced edition. For me it's a must
edit: Might also work regardless of recovery being twrp as it installs while phone is booted up , upon reboot it should replace twrp w stock recovery but idk if there will be any ilent bugs from doing it like that... I prefer flashing clean rom first then flashing anything else afterwards

I imagined that with the traditional method it would not work due to verification, because after this post I read that the beta is intended for those who are part of the beta test program with their account.
I also figured that the stock flash would overwrite the twrp.
I am glad that the rollout of the enhanced version has begun, thanks for your valuable information regarding twrp.
My f3 has less than 48 hours to unlock the bootloader and I can't wait to try new roms. If the fastboot version is released in these two days I try to flash with miflash.

IDK, but after installing the latest OTA update ( 12.5.3.0) Enhanced Version,
1: My device reboots randomly, sometimes boots into fastboot mode.
2: No noticeable change in battery performance.
3: Themes & Icons Packs won't work properly.
4: Cant choose to re-install the same OTA from the update section.
5: Fixed bugs related to Haptics & Launcher.
Overall, No noticeable improvement in end-user experience.

Please note that it is still in beta so there may be some bugs.
Your phone was born with the global?
Did you have any problems installing it?
Watch this video by Munchy:
Enhanced Edition has barely any changes. No performance improvements. You can lowkey call it a scam.
