which rom is the best for OTA?

my Mi5s arrived yesterday, system says i'm running MIUI 8.0 Global 8.0 Stable 8.0.3.0 (MAGMIDI) rom,
Is this the best rom for OTA?
Is this the latest official rom avaiable?
are there any better rom options based on MIUI which receives ota updates?
thank you in advance
Matteo

Official global rom's dont updating....now the latest version is China stable 8.2.5.0....but global stable is stayed in 8.0.3.0.....xiaomis not updating GLOBAL OFFICIAL ROM FOR MI5S....but now coming Global developer rom 7.5.18....it is good for ota....but if you dont want dev Rom...you can Root your mi5s and flash Xiaomi.eu rom....its unofficial Global Miui....and very good and stable for use....Xiaomi.eu is based on China Stable latest version but without Chinese content and with more Supported languages....

Except that Xiaomi.eu stopped their OTA support.

except as you're on 8.0.3 you're s**t out of luck - you can't update, you can't root because you can't unlock - unless you use a deep flash cable and MiFlash a different Miui ROM with OEM unlock status available.
then you can unlock, and flash any ROM

Maybe we could unlock bootloader on Global beta?

On the first attempt error occurred in 50%, so I uninstalled the driver and installed again, That's it!
Edit: I used the software from Xiaomi.

I'm using official global 8.2.1.0, is it possible to install the global dev 7.5.18 without error ?
I mean, I tried to do it using TWRP but, again, it got stuck during installation. I know it's possible with a fastboot version, but we don't have it.

Can I install MIUI 8.7.26 (MIUI10) without worrying about ARB?

I have a Redmi Note 5 Global with MIUI 9.5.19, and I want to install 8.7.26 (MIUI10) because I can't unlock my bootloader yet (14 days to go).
My question is: can I do that safely without bricking my device? And can I go back to MIUI 9.5.19 if I wanted to?
Thanks!

I did same thing and it worked flawlessly.

You have a locked bootloader? You used a recovery ROM or a fastboot ROM (MiFlash tool)?
Thanks!

Just update through the phones settings with the zip file. You might need to try different MIUI 10 versions. There is always only one version you can go to from your current MIUI 9 version. Took me 4 tries but now it's working great

I flashed MIUI 8.7.26 through the method you mentioned without issues, but it has so many bugs, especially with notifications on lockscreen that bother me so much. Do you know if I can revert back to global stable MIUI 9 with the same method without issues with ARB?

Xiaomi Redmi Note 8, 6GB RAM 128GB ROM, Not Global, to Global.

Just unlock bootloader and flash that's it... also do keep in mind that they contain google apps(contacts, dialer,messages) and not miui ones(if that's what you want)

You shouldn't have issues... On Redmi K20 Pro Premium with 8 or 12 GB RAM you can install Global MI and EEA ROM from Mi 9T Pro and it works without any issue...

Understood. Whats's region is rom's EEA?

Nope no issues...roms are not internal storage and ram specific...same rom works on both 4gb, 64 and 6gb, 128...do not lock bootloader when on other region devices or your device might be bricked

you can flash EEA rom too but don't lock bootloader on any other region roms. Xiaomi has weird rules that states that if you try to relock bootloader on other region roms your device will be bricked.. Better not to lock bootloader. It's not a big deal anyway. Moreover after unlocking bootloader and root you can remove bloatware like ads and chinese apps etc and a few other things..you can also try xiaomi.eu rom which is debloated(you can still debloat more),customized,tweaked,deodexed and a bit optimized.

Here's the thing you don't understand..Just because you're on warranty doesn't mean you have to keep your bootloader locked. Like I said if you lock your bootloader on other region roms like global,europe,chinese,russian etc your device might be bricked..Only lock your bootloader on indian rom as that is the rom for your region.You can flash indian rom anytime and lock bootloader and your warranty will be there.
For flashing different region roms you can flash through recovery yes but fastboot method is recommended.

Now I have understood, is because in another thread of xda, have seen the information about lock or not, which rom is ok and not to lock again, for this i have asked for you. So, if i not unlock the bootloader but install indonesian rom by recovery, it works? or i have to unlock anyway?

You have to unlock bootloader first..with locked bootloader you can't do anything.

If I flash other FW or similar, can I unlock 4G bands B7 (2600 mhz) & B20 (800 mhz) on the 6 GB ram 128 gb version?

How to downgrade from realme UI?

Hey guys,
I've updated my realme X2(IN) few days ago to realme UI. After updating, my device has a lot of issues. Over heating and battery draining are main problems. I can't stand this and really want to downgrade to color OS or I would really like to try any custom roms out there. But I can't unlock the boot loader since the deep testing tool app is not supporting anymore.
How can I downgrade? or
How can I unlock boot loader and install TWRP?
If someone could help me regarding this, that would mean a world to me.
Thanks.

if you unlock bootloader you can flash recovery of coloros 6.1 and flash stock rom

Question Miui 12.5.7 Indonesia Rom

Hello All
I am using Mi11X Indian Variant with Indian Miui ROM - Now I want to install Miui Indonesia Rom with the Same Version
Before flashing have some doubt hope will get the answer here
1) Which Way have to choose for Flash - Miflash Software or Direct download and using Recovery Method - also heard even without bootloader unlock can flash ROM - Not sure it is working or not specially Mi11X
2) I read it but didn't find proper information regarding Indonesia Rom - Is there any Network Band issue could face in India, Performance, Camera
3) Which is the Correct way of Flash
4) Should Flash Region-specific Rom or Global Rom would be better
I must surely get an answer at least from someone

You first need to read this great guide by RollDload https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-flash-a-stock-rom-alioth.4355797/ to understand how to flash stock MIUI in the right way.
I can't answere about device compatibilty between indian and Indonesian
I hope this will help you

Thank you bonerserk for the reference link

First of all I'm not a pro, so do it with your own risk. But, I knew few things since I've changed my Rom back and forth using ID ROM, EU, CN, and many others Custom Rom.
In response of ur questions:
1 & 3. I recommend using Mi Flash Tool. Download the tool, and the required ROM (the FASTBOOT one, since you want to use the ID ROM, there's only 12.5.6 version for the FASTBOOT Rom) using the thread link provided by @bonerserk follow the instructions CAREFULLY.
2. Didn't know the answer.
4. It depends on ur needs. If you just want to remove the Chinese Bloatware, then the Global Rom is suitable since it has less Chinese bloatware.

Thanks, @the.ogeph for the response - After reading the Flashing method come to know Xiaomi implement Anti Rollback features in Some Model - also in Mi11X I didn't get a three-dot option (Additional Features) on Settings->About Phone - Where Some Model has this option - Now I am confused is Mi11X has implemented this features or not? If I Try and stuck due to Anti Rollback then there is no solution available as of now.
Which Device do you have? I didn't find any Mi11X owner who tried this

That's why I recommend you to use Miflash tool. You could bypass the ARB Protection by editing the (.bat) file line command. Just google it or watch tutorial on Yt.
Please follow the instruction really carefully. I've soft bricked my phone once because I skipped 1 step.

Without using Custom Kernel and any other tweek, EU is the best for Battery Life. Try using EU MIUI 13 A12, its quite good for daily use.

Yes I've unlocked my phone, probably a week after I bought my F3 phone.
Probably I was wrong, but I don't believe you can change Rom (Stock or Custom) without unlocking ur phone.
EU has MIUI Dialer.

No, please do not flash (even Stock Rom with different region) with Miflash tool without unlocking ur Bootloader. I really don't think u can do that.

Yes - Definitely will not try with Locked Bootloader - Once unlocked then will try - But one more thing - After Unlock which Version I Should try of EU Rom - Currently I am using Global MIUI 12.5.7 Version

Unlocked bootloader Receive OTA ? or have to manually Push?

Can I flash EU ROM with Locked Bootloader using Miflash Official Tool? because I am waiting for 10+ days to unlock the bootloader response from Xiaomi
Can anyone confirm please

xiaomi.EU rom is a custom rom based on miui, so you need to unlock bootloader to install it and it didnt use miflash official tool to flash

But I have watched lots of videos where people change Xiaomi ROM with the different regions such as Global to EU, Indonesia, China with the locked bootloaders - for Only Mi11X not able to find any Source
