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.

hi All,
i have mi max 3 (not sure if it is china hardware or global hardware), currently running MIUI 10 by XIAOMI.EU V10.3.2 Stable (PEDCNXM).
bootlooader is unlocked, but not rooted.
there is a game that i cant run because of the unlocked bootloader, and i dont want to root or and use magisk.
i read to relock, we must be in official ROM and then use miFlash to flash a rom and tick something says lock.
my question: how can i know which rom is the official rom for my phone?
i found this http://c.mi.com//miuidownload/detail?device=1700351
is that the right one? how do i know if mine is china model hardware or global? i also read once we install eu rom into china phone we cant go back to official rom?
if that rom is the correct one, its a simple as just use miflash to flash that ROM , select clean and lock?
if i need china official rom, where is it and will i be able to install google app suite after that (and change language to english)?
thank you.
To check the version of Xiaomi products, if it is original etc. access the site https://www.mi.com/global/verify and inform the IMEI of the cell phone.
Another thing, you should only block the bootloader if you are sure that the rom installed is the original one on the phone. if your xiaomi is chinese version the rom installed must be chinese otherwise you will screw with your phone. It will become paperweight!
Hi all,
First of all please bear with me as I am a total noob when it comes to Android let alone the Redmi Note 8T I have just purchased the phone and now waiting for the 360 hours to expire. Tick tock...
So in preparation I have been looking for ways to flash my phone to the MIUI EEA ROM (I have a global version running global ROM). I know MIFlash should be able to do the trick, but it seems to me there are two types of ROM files - one for the OTA update (i.e. so you would copy the file over to the phone, then use the system update feature within the phone's setting to invoke the update process), and another type of ROM files for use by MiFlash.
Assuming this is true, so far I could only manage to find the OTA update ROM for EEA:
h<spacer>ttp<spacer>:/<spacer>/en.miui.com/download-361.html#588 (sorry new users aren't allowed to post links hence this. Please copy and delete the spacers)
Does anyone know where I could grab a copy of the EEA ROM that I could use with Mi Flash so after my phone eventually gets it bootloader unlocked, I could proceed with the switch from Global to EEA?
Or am I getting this whole concept wrong?
Thanks and cheers !

well...if you want to change to another region rom then using phone's updater app won't help...you have to flash through mi flash.

here's the EEA rom you were looking for to flash(make sure to extract it twice) via mi flash.

Use eu, xiaomi.eu
If you willow (Note 8T) choose stable version because willow doesn't have weekly build.
so it must be this link.. https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...HMNote8T_V11.0.7.0.PCXEUXM_v11-9.zip/download
and you need root and unlocked bootloader to install it via twrp.
Hello everyone,
I have a redmi 5A (riva) running miui 11.0.2.0 based on "oreo" and i want to install Xiiaomi.eu rom on it.so my question is should i first flash noughat rom on it and then flash xiaomi.eu or can i directly install xiaom.eu rom on it?

Hi All,
New to the forum. A Hi to everyone.
I have bought an Mi 11X in India in very first sale and after setting it up realised it doesn't have Miui dialer and messaging app and instead has Google Dialer and messaging app. Google dialer doesn't save call records beyond 30 days and also doesn't have native call recording option without warning about call getting recorded and I am unable to move messages from my previous Redmi 8 device to this device bcoz of no Miui Messaging app in Mi 11x.
Can someone please suggest how to get Miui Dialer and messaging on my Indian Mi 11x handset. And also let me know how do I unlock bootloader as Miui global forum is blocked in India foe access. Cant access the forum and hence cant place request for bootloader unlock. Please help me. Thanking in advance.
you can record call with Google Dialer or Google Contacts whatever you call that app there's a Magisk module for it just get rooted via Magisk

Its not just about call recording facility. Miui Dialer is more feature rich than google dialer. Like unlimited call history vs 30 days call history. Messaging app is also very user friendly of Miui. I just want a way to get Miui Dialer n Messaging app on my Mi 11x. Either by some apk install or via some other ROM flashing.
im not sure if this helps but maybe you could try installing them from apk mirror, hope the apps work tho.

Solution is to move to XIAOMI EU ROM. Weekly and stable both have MI dialer installed.

I have been using EU ROMs for many years. It will have Xiaomi dialer and messaging apps. In fact, I am also looking for the same solution for my Mi11x Indian variant.

Thank you All. One last question. If I flash EU ROM, will I get updates automatically or need to manually download update package and update through recovery??

You get OTA for both EU rom, weekly and stable, but because a working recovery to handle that is not yet available we still have to do it manualy via fastboot.
Accept it for some time or stand by.

So to manually update the next update, do I have to repeat the process of unlocking Bootloader and flash the update file? Wouldn't it erase my data??

Everything is automatic once you first installed EU rom.
Bootloader stays unlocked until you relock it with MIFLASH rom.
Your data are going to be erased by force because you need to format data at first install and only here. Make them backed up.
I have successfully unlocked my device and have downloaded Miui 12.5 HMK40 ROM from xiaomi.eu forum and setup phone in fastboot mode and extracted the fastboot miui 12.5 ROM and ran the file "windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data-format".
The command prompt windows launched and I entered Y to proceed installation of ROM. Its been more than 30 minutes and I am stuck at "sending sparse super 4/7 (775048kb)"
Please someone help.

I closed the command prompt window by clicking "X" on top right corner and again started the process by running the file "windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data-format" and now I am stuck at "sending sparse super 1/7" which earlier took only 50 seconds and now taking ages.
Faced errors multiple times but after trying to flash three to four times and changing USB port, I was successful in installing the ROM. Thank you to the community for help and for encouraging to try installing the ROM.
My last genuine query, sorry if I have been too curious about things. I have successfully installed EU ROM. Now
1) Can I lock the bootloader again and whenever there is an update just flash it without the need to unlock bootloader again??
2) Say a Recover ROM gets released in near future, do I have to again flash it a New?? I mean complete format? Or can I just upgrade to it without loosing data and without full format??

You have better to boot latest TWRP and install EU zip with it.
Just check the digest file in the rom zip if it take care not to reject aliothin (your phone).
That's what I did on F3 .
Great rom for my today use.
EDIT: You can NOT lock your bootloader under EU rom, you need to flash an official fastboot rom via MIFLASH.
Take care to flash the same region rom as your phone was first.
But, Stay unlocked that's better if you can.

U can lock ur bootloader only if u have the original ROM region the phone was build for (EEA, MI, IN, ID etc). So, never lock bootloader if u had Indian stock ROM and u flashed EEA or other region build.....most probably ur phone will get hard bricked. Also, never lock bottloader if u flashed any custom ROM (xiaomi.eu, CrDroid, Arrow etc)....not sure if this is even possible, but still
