Hey guys,
I bought my phone at Bestgear. When I check the version of my rom I get 8.2.16.0.0. Is this ok? Because on xiaomi.eu I cannot find this version. It's very confusing.
Yes, it's a fake rom.
Just flash an stable or developer china version and then install xiaomi.eu
But I don't understand. What should I do exactly, can you give me a precise procedure? Why would gearbest send me a phone with a fake rom?
To know what to do, try searching the following exact string on google, between quotes:
"All-in-one Guide Compilation On How To Flash Xiaomi.eu Roms On Your Mi5s", you should find a page on xiaomi.eu or en.miui.com.
The process is easy, but if you have absolutely no experience ask for a help.
About the fake ROM, there is still no official global ROM, so resellers put cooked ROMs with additional languages plus gapps (generally required from people outside China) and only god knows what else.
I have no experience with this. To whom should I ask for help?
I have found the guide you mentioned I will try to apply this process. However, could you tell me what does it mean when we say there is no global rom? I will have the phone in Chinese? Or at least in English too?
Thanks a lot for your help and patience.
Xiaomi release its stable and developer ROMS in two more versions: china and global.
The china versions have english and chinese languages.
Also the global versions have eng. and chn. lang. also but also more or less all the languages of the countries where xiaomi officially sells or supports a particular model.
If you go to Mi5S (no plus) http://en.miui.com/download-314.html you'll see that there are only china roms, while for Mi5S Plus http://en.miui.com/download-315.html there are also the global counterparts.
On the guide you'll find that the last step is flash xiaomi.eu ROM.
This is not an official ROM, but is created from the official chinese version. They add more languages, gapps and they do some optimizations beside removing those chinese apps that are not useful for people living outside China.
*I think* that Xiaomi uses their repository to get the translations to build their global versions.
If you follow the guide, is up to you which step to follows.
For example, if you are ok with official china because english is fine for you and you like chinese apps, you can follow just step #1 and #2, and on step #2 you have to choose between stable (less frequently updated about monthly, less new features, less new bugs) and developer (updated weekly with all the new features and bugs), and you should choose for stable.
I you want to install xiaomi.eu you have to follow step #1, #3 and #4. The step #2 is optional, but in this case get the same version (dev/stable) that you are going to use on #4.
Thank you for your help! I think I will try tonight if I have time.
Two more questions if you don't mind :
If I choose Chinese rom, will I be able to install manually and easily the playstore? And with titanium, will I be able to freeze the Chinese apps?
Secondly, if I do the next updates from the phone, will that close by bootloader again?
Thanks!
Mind that selecting English in Chinese official ROM for Mi5s will get your UI to Engish, true. But there will be so much annoying CHinese everywhere that it's pretty much useless to non-Chinese users. If you open App store everything's in Chinese. And that one is rather crucial if you'd like to install Google apps. So anyway. Apply for unlock, put TWRP on your device and flash xiaomi.eu ROM. It seems a complicated process but it's not really. And this specific ROM gets rid of much of Chinese stuff albeit removing strings only (i.e. Wallpaper carousel categories are only represented with images instead of their names as well). Anyway. But until XiaoMi releases a Global ROM for Mi5s we have no hopes of ever getting kernel sources which will allow developers to provide custom ROMs for it like CyanogenMod et al. As the reliable sources close to XiaoMi say, Global ROM for Mi5s will actually be released.
Ok, I will flash the rom from xiomi. Eu but that means I won't be able to update it from the phone, right?
Right

I have fake ROM too but I don't care because it works and all languages are there. No spyware no malicious software no Chinese. I have China's ROM on my Mi note 2 and it's pain in the ass. You will regret if you flash Chinese ROM as many others did. Global ROM for Mi 5s is about to be realest.
P.S
Afterwards I have flashed Xiaomi.eu rom and looks good at first glance. I did backup of my reseller ROM before I flashed Xiaomi.eu rom just in case.
So I have sucessfully unlocked my bootloader, install everything I need for step 3, enabled usb debbug in developers options. But now I can move forward, when I launch the command adb devices my phone is not recognized. Any help?? it's super frustrating.

You know the process very well, do you know why I am blocked at step 3 with a phone that can't be recognized?
FYI I just did a full factory reset, still doest not work
Your device still not recognized? If yes, go into device manager, delete the phone there (right click - uninstall). Then unplug it and plug it back in, in many cases it's now recognized.
If it's still not working, follow this very precise guide:

Thanks, I had difficulty to find rom archives on Xiaomi.eu. I found 6.11.10 for both mi 5s and mi note 2 and flashed. Looks good at first glance but I'm going to test it. Best regards!
Guys, I don't know why but the command "adb devices" never worked. I just manually put the phone in fastboot mode... And it worked. I'm booting on the xiaomi.eu rom. I will also flash supersu

It does work when phone is ON ( loaded in operating system) If the phone is in fastboot mode then it doesn't work but it is as intended. In fastboot mode use " fastboot devices"...
Need to rollback, or be advised of any custom ROMS that work..
Try Elite ROM from ROM section. it should work fine.
I personally would not recommend installing Elite ROM as it is more hassle than it is worth when you try to switch ROMs. It re/debrands your device and even after restoring a nandroid your audio will not work nor will your camera function properly. What files have bad keys? I put a lot of those up and the keys should work fine....
@shashank1320 check the links in the BLN-L24 section....something got messed up when you copied my links as mine work.
@ghostair is your device bricked? IMO none of the ROMs for this phone are worth installing on a main phone because there is too much functionality lost, no disrespect to the devs. Elite ROM does have the least amount of bugs but it is a hassle as I mentioned earlier. My main gripe about it is when installing and uninstalling apps you must restart the device in order for the apps to be added or removed from the app drawer....its a major annoyance.

Let me check mate. Thanks for pointing that out.
No it's not bricked, actually I am on TWRP 3.1.1-0, it was only EliteROM's version that didn't work. I haven't even been able to use the phone at all, for a week, and am currently on LineageOS 13 as it was only release that works for my model it seems.

Im confused....your original post says you need to rollback but you say you are currently on LOS 13?? Rolling back refers to downgrading from Android 7.0 (Nougat) to 6.0.1 (MM) but you are already on MM if you are running LOS 13. You also say your device is not bricked but then in the next sentence say you havent been able to use it at all for a week.....and lastly you say LOS 13 was the only release to work for your model yet every single ROM in the development forum can be flashed to the BLN-L24, I know because I have done it.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish here? Your posts are contradictory and make no sense. Id be glad to help but you gotta give me something to work with here.
Im assuming you did not make a full backup in TWRP before flashing any ROMs, in which case you have learned a valuable lesson....always have a backup. But since you dont we will get you back to EMUI which I assume is what you mean when you say roll back.

I understand, I probably should have just used, "go back," to EMUI. Since LOS 13 isn't usable in the least, as I can't make calls, and it drops LTE.
If they work then how? I followed everything, flashing vendor.img with fastboot, then flashing the respective zip?
I'd rather not go back to EMUI, it's why I haven't been able to actually "use it as a phone," since purchase.
Why would you not want to go back to EMUI? Its smooth and everything works. EMUI is the reason you havent been able to use it as a phone?? There is not one single ROM for this device that works entirely and has full functionality. You're always going to be missing something whether its the camera, LTE, calls, etc.
You're going to have to go back to EMUI so you can update to Anrdoid 7.0 (be sure to make a full backup) and then flash away all the ROMS you like and you will see they are all broken in some way. This is most definitely not the phone to use if you are looking for polished ROMs.
My last tip before departing......download the flashable vendor zip if you still want to mess around with the ROMs, it makes life much easier. Its in one of the threads in that forum I think AOKP
Hi all,
I am completely new to the Xiaomi world (I prefer stock Android and easy root usually), but I got an excellent offer to buy this beast today.
I will buy this device, only if the following is possible.
- Unlock bootloader
- Root with Magisk
- Pass Safetynet check
- Install AFWall
- Install Adaway
Has anybody done this yet?
I don't want to know "how" (I can ask/figure out that later). I just want to know whether it is possible/relatively straight forward?
Thanks!

Yes, all done. Very easy and straightforward. Stick to xiaomi.eu roms for best miui experience or latest AICP Oreo treble rom for 95-99% working Android stock experience. Currently on 8.8.9 xiaomi.eu and have all except afwall on mine since I don't use that app.
I recommend the 6gb/128gb from TradingShenzhen with xiaomi.eu installed - it will have unlocked bootloader right out of the box - many of us went with this version. Easiest/best experience.
If you go with any other version, check out my buggy vendor thread to flash to xiaomi.eu rom easily.

Quick follow up question. Is it possible to keep encryption on the userdata partition with the latest TWRP? I really like if my data is encrypted.

Looks like I "only" need to wait 360 hours to unlock

I have a three more questions now.
#1 Is there a reason not to use this global 9.6.7.0 ROM (other than the ads). Are there any big bugs in this global version? If not, I will probably start rooting this version first Should I update the global version?
#2 You mentioned

There seem be to many newer versions than that. And also a "MIUI 10.0/10.1 STABLE RELEASE" (oct 24th). Is there a reason you are still on that old version?
#3 I understand not having ARB is better if you need to downgrade (without bricking). Is there a reason to downgrade frequently in the Xiaomi world? Is this because people need to switch back and forth between the Chinese and global ROM? And since I have the global version, can I ignore ARB?

1) EU is just better (has more features baked in - universal face unlock, theme store, etc), less bloated, and more updated.
2) Stable release is fine, but I just prefer beta updates - faster fixes, more features introduced, and tested more by users = more feedback.
I'm on 8.8.9 eu strictly because:
a) It's pretty flawless for me.
b) If it's not broken why fix it? I haven't seen anything worth jumping ship for.
c) It's NON-ARB; I'll only upgrade to ARB if and once I see a better working pie release (coming soon supposedly) because a data wipe may be necessary. I'll use migrate app (faster than titanium backup) to backup all my apps and then restore them onto the new rom.
3) Honestly, having ARB is not a big issue especially since the updated EU roms are solid. However, my points back in number 2 still stand. You can flash to and back from treble gsi roms on ARB and NON-ARB without any issues. However, no matter what anyone tells you, gsi roms for our phone are not perfect. They're only 95% usable. They are still missing mono speaker, volte, and some other things that some say are working without evidence or thorough testing. @MrColdbird just tested a few of the latest if not all of the gsi roms, and he's in agreement with me - they're almost there, but not 100% yet. Stick to xiaomi.eu roms for a complete rom. Just my humble opinion .
If you have any other questions, just ask. I hope this was informative enough.
@opasha @MrColdbird
Have u guys tried latest AOSPExtended Pie GSI? I loved this rom on my previous device.
https://downloads.aospextended.com/download/treble_gsi/pie_arm64_aonly/AospExtended-v6.0-arm64_aonly-20181117-0000-OFFICIAL.zip
Currently I'm also on 8.8.9 run and waiting for Pie build.
Anyone tried cutting of files from firmwareupdate folder to avoid ARB activation.
I've found solution that cutting firmware folder, leaving only files associated with modem shouldn't break anything and won't trigger ARB. Is it working on latest eu builds?
Files that allegedly have to stay in firmwareupate folder to not trigger arb:
.BTFM.bin
cmnlib.mbn
cmnlib64.mbn
devcfg.mbn
dspso.bin
NON_HLOS.bin
splash.img

Regarding

I was under the impression that EU is non-arb by design?
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/do-eu-roms-remove-anti-rollback.47145/#post-451617
I guess I haven't understood this ARB stuff 100% yet? And obviously this is a moving target. Posts only one or two months might be already outdated haha
Having said that, you convinced me about Eu.
And I guess in 15 days there will be new developments anyway (no pun intended).
Background Info -
I purchased my 16GB x 512GB Mi MIX Fold from a reputable supplier on Alibaba. It was claimed that he was capable of making it have a "Global" ROM (a 5 - 7 day process is how long it took him). All Google services and apps were preloaded, just like my first Xiaomi Global phone I purchased 1.5 years ago. As well as only some of the Xiaomi Global apps. Now that I have the phone, I am running into a fair bit of issues (in this post I am only focusing on one). I did bring these all up to the supplier (of course including updating the ROM issues), all without much help. All he gave me was he said the ROM on my phone is actually the EEA version that was modified, and of I need any updates, go on www.xiaomi.eu. So not much help, because come to find out, they don't support the Mi MIX Fold and that there is no ROMs available. Including the current ROM my phone has right now - V12.0.11.0.RJTCNXM ("Global").
What is nice about my phone is that all the system apps are the Global versions. But what's not so great is the System Apps Updater does not work at all. It shows there are update(s) available for my Global apps, but when I update them, they are indefinitely suck at "Connecting 0%". I also tried Xiaomi's "Get Apps" while switching my Region to "India", it too showed updates, and would not update them no matter what I tried. So, I search online for each individual system app, and update each manually (yes, the whole process is a pain).
So Where I Need Some Help (The Purpose Of This Post...Updating the ROM) -
So, I am in the process of trying to update my phone's ROM, to get the best MIUI has to offer for the Mi MIX Fold. I have searched all over the internet and the only ROMs I can find are "China" versions.
My current ROM version is V12.0.11.0.RJTCNXM ("Global"). I know the most up to date ROM is V12.0.21.0.RJTCNXM (but it's the "China" version). I would like to have the current ROM, but I have a strong feeling that I will loose all functionality of all my Global system apps. The Xiaomi Updater app unfortunately does not work at all. When checking for an update, it says "No updates available". When tapping "Download latest package", it says "Can't download update...Wait a minute or two and try again". When I tap "What's new", it says "You don't have permission to access the update log...". Please see screenshots for all of this. I even tried to update it another traditional Xiaomi way by using Mi PC Suite, which it couldn't even detect my phone when connected. So that doesn't work either.
So my attempts are as follows (at least 20 attempts). I downloaded every Stable Recovery ROM version as listed in the XDA Mi MIX forum titles "MIUI Updates Tracker (Mi MIX Fold)" I also downloaded every ROM version from a couple other sources. I tried to update the ROM (from the newest version to the oldest) using the Xiaomi Updater app through Recovery Mode. Every time it failed saying "Current version is invalid. You can only flash the latest stable ROM", or "Can't verify update...Can't install official ROM". So then I downloaded the ROMs directly from mirror links to Xiaomi's server. I did the same update procedure, they all failed. Does that mean I have to do it via Fastboot?
Last Thoughts -
I included some screenshots showing what the ROM is on my phone (and the outdated Android security update), and what message comes up with each update attempt.
Could you guys point me in the right direction and help me figure out how I can update my Mi MIX Fold to the most current ROM, preferably the EEA version (if possible), since there really is no such thing as a Global version? I would be extremely appreciative if someone can shed some light!
Hi my suggestions is to backup your data firstly from there download the latest fastboot stable of the rom. From there before anything make sure oem unlocked is there inside your phone if not you need to wait 167 hours to fastboot flash the rom. Guides of unlocking is online you can search for that. After that, download the miflash.exe file, that can also be found online and from there flash it with it to the latest Rom . Hope that helps. If you are still unsure , you can always search online of "Flashing with fastboot xiaomi Rom"

Thank you very much for your response!
OK, so it looks like I will have no choice but to get rid of the custom "Global" ROM for the China version. I do wonder though if I am going to lose out on anything as far as the Global system apps (but won't update, unless manually), or all the Google apps & services, or anything else. There of course are many benefits switching to the China ROM.
I'm just a little reluctant because of it being a China ROM being used on a phone in the US. And having features that only work in China and is not optimized for the Global market. As well as features usually found on a Global Xiaomi phone, would be missing or can't work at all. Maybe I am overthinking it all. Another concern is if the China ROM would have English as a language that can be choses. I assume so, but it would be a plus to know 100% before I make the plunge.
Only if I could play around with a Mi MIX Fold with a fresh install of the China ROM. See how different it really is compared to what I currently have. See what it comes with (apps & all) & what is or isn't compatible. My previous, & only Xiaomi phone, was the Global version of the Mi Note 10 Pro. So I have, I guess you can call it, a Xiaomi Global mindset. My Mi MIX Fold is my daily driver, I can't play too much around. Also if I do flash it with China ROM, I can't revert it back to the ROM it has now, since it seems to be custom. Unless I can somehow backup absolute everything, ROM and all.
I know this is a simple question, but what and how is the very best method to back everything up? To not only make sure no data is lost, but also to make the whole process faster when restoring everything.
Do you have any other suggestions or advice? I would appreciate it!
The custom global rom is not official and you will never get update.
I recommend you to mi flash the chines rom, but you will lose everything.
Google will be available the chines ROM.

Sold my mix Fold and replaced with Samsung fold 3 as the software of Samsung is better, but both are suitable only for office use not a daily driver.
I am using xiaomi 12 pro as a daily driver and planning to move to s22 ultra soon .
Did you find any solution to install Global ROM in Mi Mix Fold?
hello every one
i have Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 with chines rom how can to convert it to global rom ?
Good day mates I'm a new poco f3 user and I recently unlocked my bootloader and now I'm planning to flash custom roms just as planned but after gathering some infos on telegram our device is prone to hard brick when it comes to flashing custom rom can someone enlighten me what to do to avoid hard bricking my device?
Sure Google it
yup, i have to agree. read up on it all, make sure you get every step correct. read read read!!!
good luck
As a more experienced user of custom roms i can safely say that if you follow all reccommended steps, you'll be fine. I've been using custom roms exclusively on my F3
When jumping between Custom ROMs, always flash Stock ROM between those. Dirty flashing from one Custom ROM to another can lead to a brick.
Also, when using your PC to flash a ROM, make sure everything is stable: The cable, the USB port, your PC itself, that your phone has enough battery...
If you need help, you can message me. I can also give you my Discord or Telegram if you want. I've done flashing many times at this point and also had issues along the way.

My device is fine now but yeah I agree to you. I soft brick mine. Is global rom enough (Any global rom for poco f3. Miui 13 global) or I need to go back to the version when i purchase my poco f3 (around miui 12.5.5 Global).

The latest Stock ROM is enough... EU or Global... doesn't matter.
However when re-locking your bootloader, make sure to use the original Region
