[Firmware] Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 [CHIRON] [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.

Thanks for this.
Will it replace the recovery with stock miui recovery, or will TWRP still be intact after flashing your script?

It doesn't mess with recovery.

So is it worth to update this every week when a new version comes out? Or not really?
Also: Worth doing on AOSP roms? (xenonHD, RR, ...)

Firmware is like a computers BIOS. It can fix multiple issues but always bears the risk of a flashing error, which can have serious consequences. That being said, I've never experienced any trouble flashing firmware. It is independent from the OS afaik, so it should be suited for AOSP-ROMs as well.
I would advise to wait a few days/weeks before you update your firmware to see if the new firmware proves itself in production. Also - if there are - always check MD5s. Firmware update are serious business.

The firmware is independent from the Android build (Nougat vs. Oreo), right? So it is okay to flash a firmware extract from an Oreo-ROM while using a Nougat-based ROM on the device? Thanks

Don't take it as a promise, but yes, that should be possible.
It's probably the best if you backup your existing firmware partitions beforehand using the TWRP recovery from https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix-2/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-recovery-t3730030 to avoid any compatibility issues. Better safe than sorry.

Won't this just try to flash the latest miui firmware which is based on Oreo or can you choose?

Just used that and video/ audio is fine except for one bug where pausing, skipping or buffering causes the audio to make a cut sound and then gets randomly extremely loud.

If your using custom rom firmware doesn't matter any version is fine.

MIUI Stabe V9 ROM Firmware (06-03-2018)​
Changes:
New file naming system, now you can find separated folders for Global/China and for each device.
You can get updates always from Basketbuild Or Androidfilehost, but for this update use BasketBuild only because there are some files missing from AFH!
Basketbuild:
Stable ROMs Firmware

Should the new firmware be visible in "About phone"?
Please bear with me, but I find the versioning of the developers numbers being lower than the stable ones somewhat confusing:
- if I want to flash an Oreo Rom, I guess I would have to flash a developer firmware with "f_8.0" at the end?
- after I flash it and reboot, shouldn't I see it in the "About phone" option (still with the standard Miui Rom)? That still says MIUI Global 9.2 / Stable 9.2.3.0, but I had chosen Global 8.3.1, before
- Is there a version for Oreo available under V9.0 for Mi Mix 2?

SOT seems to be around 10 hours with 50% brightness, I spent the whole day watching YouTube, Netflix, used Facebook with a lot of videos, reading both on chrome and on Wps, WhatsApp & telegram and played with phone settings. Also halfway during the day, I updated my phone to V10.3.5.0.PCOMIXM from V10.3.2.0.PCOMIXM. I haven't played any games though, not a big fan of em lately
Screenshot are attached.

The firmware I provide isn't an alternative to the official rom. However, you can install China rom on your device if you have unlocked bootloader.

I do have an unlocked bootloader I was asking because I've heard that installing the wrong version of a ROM made for a different hardware revision can brick your device

Any issues with flashing China firmware on Global phone or vice versa? Any advantages/disadvantages either way? I'm assuming the hardware is the same for China or Global variants, just the rom is different?

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.

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!

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.

Because of my inexperience with vendor partition/flashing i'm not quite sure i understand what you mean, can you be more clear please?
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.

Development [CLOSED] [PSYCHE] [UNOFFICIAL] ArrowOS 12.1 for Xiaomi 12X

<Moderator Edit>: Thread closed and all links removed due to non-working download links. @Jvlong2019 please Report the thread if you want the thread re-opened so that you can fix it.
It has been a long time since Xiaomi 12X been published, and now I'm very proud to say here that the first beta unofficial ArrowOS release Xiaomi 12X has been released.
Bugs:
Bluetooth audio
Fingerprint
DT2W (Partially works)
Something important to know:
Prebuilt Vendor
Permissive SELinux (will be enforcing in the future)
OSS kernel
Please use EEA, GLOBAL, CN MIUI 13.0.3 or 13.0.5 as base firmware and use fastboot enhance to flash it.
NOTICE: THIS IS THE FIRST BETA VERSION, AND NOT ADVISED FOR USING AS A DAILY DRIVER.
In our testers' test, it is much better than MIUI, both in performance and in battery life.
Download Link (Available in 7 days)
Made by me (jvlong2019)
I will edit this post if some bugs are fixed.

We did it boys, this guy manage to bring the first ever custom ROM for the 12X

Yes. My 12x is arriving next week. Can't wait for a stable release. Keep up the good work. It is appreciated.

Really great news. But BT audio and fingerprint are absolutely necessary. Does the implementation only take time or will this never be able?

Awesome very much appreciated. Does it require an unlocked bootloader before flash?
I found the lineage repo on GitHub earlier this week searching for custom ROM, wondering where the thread was I was missing. Are you planning on Lineage OS rom too?

At first I was building LineageOS, but I think It's unnecessary for me to build it because I'm not going to apply for LineageOS official builds.

am so happy that custom rom development for 12X has started
I have never heard about Fastboot Enhance tool or fastbootD, but gave it a try and flashing your rom to experience it now

If you run into issue the rom doesnt boot and formating data from recovery doesnt solve it, boot into normal fastboot mode and perform fastboot erase userdata and then fastboot reboot. This is what made my rom boot

yep. That's a good choice.

great news, I hope everything will be fine. I had a few questions, there was information that xiaomi releases the source code of kernels with problems or inability to compile it, there is no such problem with 12x? And is there a device in the hands of the developer or is it based on poco?
ps. Will there be any difficulties after the release of android 13? Does xiaomi post new kernel versions or something similar?

nice rom
im looking forward to fix bug(bt audio)

Xiaomi didn't release their android 12 kernel Code for this phone, only 11.
I made a post asking for it on the mi boards:
[Psyche] Android 12 Kernel Cod
Unfortunately the community around this phone is not huge or active...
It is shame. I really like this phone and looking forward to a custom rom.

They both result in:
Please fix the download link(s) in the next 5 days. Failure to fix them will result in the thread being closed and all links being removed. Never fear, even if your real life is too busy and you can't fix the links within five days, just Report the OP and we can reinstate the thread and you can fix the download link.
I'd like to suggest someplace different than WeTransfer due to the quickly expiring links. AFH (Android File Host) is free and has served me well for eight years or so. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a PM.
