I am getting cold feet about the process. I like Masik and unofficial Syberia and crdroid pie, but on miui 10.0.6 everything works really well, especially with the Poco launcher.
Playstore is no longer certified, this hasn't affected me yet. I have developer options unticked.
If I update OTA to 10.2 I hope that it won't relock the bootloader.
Has anyone else just unlocked and not proceeded with twrp,, then installed updates OTA?
I updated to 10.2 today, still unlocked, yay
What next ?
Flash any kernel
Or flash any custom ROM
Maybe soon, but stock is good for now.
flash Gcam

Yes, that sounds a good idea, which doesn't alter the stock camera or battery life.

I am new to Mi 6 and I am thinking to root. But how frequent are the updates? I want to know so that I can decide whether to root now or not. And can you get updates after root?
One extra question is that you use odin for samsung phones to flash stock firmware, what you use for mi 6?
Thanks
Depends on ROM you are using. If it's DEV rom - updates are every week (thursday/friday). If it's global - updates are irregular, made in long intervals of time.
I, personally, am using xiaomi.eu dev rom (MIUI 9.1 v. 7.11.16), and I have rooted Mi6. After update you are losing root and you'll need to root again. So, answering your question - you can update safely even if you have root, but you will need to root again.
When I was switching from stock global to xiaomi.eu rom, I simply unlocked bootloader (if you have agreement from Xiaomi), flashed twrp, then flashed rom from zip. After that you have OTA updates so it's simple and easy.
If you want stock rom - I suggest using MiFlash tool.

Hey thanks man. So even with root and twrp I will get OTA updates? I am on global rom
Sure, you have to unlock the bootloader of your phone before you can install TWRP and root.
Then you can install whatever you want... MIUI Weekly ROMs, Stable ROMs, custom ROMs .. etc.

Thanks a lot man.
Hi, I bought Mi Max 3 with this Fake ROM V9.6.6.0.(OEDMIFD) and unlocked bootloader.
Is there any tutorial to flash chinese and then xiaomi.eu ROMS?
Is there a procedure to relock and unlock bootloader safely? it worth the effort and the wait of 720 hours?
I am thinking on flashing LineageOS when avaliable so i need the partitions and all things ok.
Thanks.

Something odd just happened
Ok, strange story to tell.Not expecting it on my phone.I'm running an unlocked 9.6.4.0 ..theoretical dodgy rom on my Chinese 128mb machine.It runs fine , i've had no problems with it...All of a sudden , just now, i got an official OTA update to 9.6.6.0. - the quote Xiaomi " Updates to improve speed and stability." Downloaded it ,fearing the worst and questioning my sanity in doing this.Anyways, I applied it , closed my Eyes and waiting for the reboot , visions of locking the device and going into a interminable boot loop , bricking the phone.Now pleasantly surprised as it's rebooted fine, seems to work correctly and more to the point.....it remains unlocked ! Just thought i'd let everybody know.
Does this mean the 9.6.4.0 was indeed not a dodgy rom in the first place ?
That's exactly what it means and some so called "experts" here still don't get it...
Your experience shows an important detail we wasn't sure about - no we know global rom is not restricted to global device version!
This week is a week of surprises.Spent just 24 hrs on 9.6.6.0 (see the Previous Post)...last night I got another OTA update from Xiaomi.It was the Official Miui 10 Global Rom (10.0.1.0 - OEDMIFH - Security patch 1/9/2018) .Again its working fine on my Chinese 128GB model....and again it remains unlocked.

Maybe because this is still in Beta stage.
The official stable version is still not released they sent out OTA update of the stable version to some devices for testing and after the feedback it will be officially sent out to all devices, so be careful that with the official release it might lock the bootloader.

Ok.....will keep and eye out for the next OTA and will see what happens.Will report back on here with the result when it does.
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...

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.
I'm new to xiaomi world, I just received this minor update today, but there are few bugs and lags, I want to revert back.
Both Roms are stock Stable Global EEA.
I don't know how to dowgrade, because recovery zip and update app not work, unable to downgrade.
Can you show me a complete guide to flash that firmware? I need unlocked bootloader?
Anything in particular I have to know?

Nothing changed. Settings looks ****tier and Gboard has an arrow below it/raised up. That's about it.
Staying with arrowos, thanks for the feedback.
Good choice. The update to MIUI 14 only adds a few stuff, and most of them are not useful (at least for me). The only good thing about this update is that it asks for notification access on app install, but that's already baked into Android 13 and not MIUI's invention.
There aren't any performance improvements from what I can tell. Games are still in low resolution. Honestly I expected more from this update, MIUI has gone downhill.
