"The website also currently has a download link for the firmware, which weighs in at 1.9 GB. However, the 9.11.21 build is a beta version, so expect a few bugs that would not necessarily be present in stable builds. Moreover, all MIUI beta builds are now China exclusives, with Xiaomi having shuttered its Global Beta program earlier this year.
Owning a non-Chinese version of the Redmi Note 8 Pro does not preclude you from installing the build. However, doing so will likely factory reset your device and will leave you without any Google services installed. These could be sideloaded, though. Ultimately, we would probably only recommend installing the build if the Redmi Note 8 Pro is not your daily driver, or you are prepared to live with some instabilities until a stable Android 10 build appears."

I have it installed since a day. It's Cyanogen OS 13.1 with changed phone app (I like this one better!), and Skype integration (you can remove this app), new Lockscreen mods, Microsoft Hyperlapse option in Camera app. Maybe One Note and Cortana integration, but only maybe in some countries (not here in Netherlands). Also Android security patch from july.
I'm sure there are some other changes or bug fixes. I'm not a big fan of all this Microsoft crap, but in general I'm sure some will appreciate the changes.
downloaded the update but can't flash it with twrp. can't even locate it on the phone memory.
Anyone knows where it might be stored?
Thanks

New Mi5s identified as Mi5s plus - how to fix?

Just received my new Mi5s 3/64.
When checking the 'about phone' screen, It is identified as mi5s plus...?!
can't attach picture for some reason. here are some details:
- Model number: Mi 5s Plus
- Android version: 6.0.1 MXB48T
- MIUI version: MIUI global 8.0 stable 8.0.4.0 (MBGMIDI)
- CPU Quadcore max 2.15 GHz
- RAM 3GB
- Internal memory: 64GB total
...
In addition, there are several bugs that might be related:
- Camera app doesn't open
- There's no sound
- Antutu benchmark is only 100k
I tried to change the ROM using the updater tool, but ROMs downloaded from Xiaomi official and from Xiaomi.eu but it did not work ("can't verify update").
I'm very frustrated... any ideas?
Thanks
Ran

You have to fastboot flash the correct ROM.
Need to unlock bootloader first.
Problem solved
I took it to a lab to replace the ROM. Phone is working fine now.
Thanks

I downloaded several versions of Android 9 and 10 and checked the anti-rollback row, they were all zero,
but my device's anti-rollback is one .
it is mean, I can not downgrade to any lower version if I update my device to A11?
ARB is a myth in this fragile device. In my observations, there are problems regarding data compatibillity, which means you can't downgrade unless your data is wiped. I bet you don't want to get your data wiped on your daily driver.
Here is the compatibillity list I have observed:
1. Pre-12.0.7: you can flash from any version to any version prior 12.0.7, back and forth. I have been bailed out from sticky situations by downgrading to an early version of MIUI 11 (A9) when I messed up in newer version of MIUI 12 (A10) in its early days.
2. 12.0.7 is standing alone. It's known that xiaomi has implemented different approach on encryption. I guess that is why downgrading from 12.0.7 will bootloop. I never downgraded from 12.0.8 since I think there's no point to do that. Just flash the correct version of MIUI for remedy.
3. 12.5.1 is also standing alone. I guess same thing happen in this version. But what's more? Any non-original image install will also bootloop (for now, that is). Just flash the correct version of MIUI for remedy.

Question [ORIGIN CN VERSION] Android 13 Update

Hey folks,
I have the phone since early summer now and see that other people updated to Android 13 already. Unfortunately I am still running on Android 12.
Can anyone help me, what I am doing wrong? I am registered for beta Updates by opting in on settings menu. Any easy solutions out there for me ?
Best wishes to all of you!
Just received an update notification, Origin OS 3, 7.8 GB, obviously based on Android 13?

Normal.
Seems they started rolling it out, beginning with D9000 devices.
