Hey guys, I am new to whyred , flashed alot on other phones tho. Got some questions regarding the process of things I have to do to not mess up. I would do it like this:
0. I am on 9.5.19. miui global stable.
1. Unlock bootloader after 360 hours (hopefully)
2. Boot into Fastboot, boot up twrp image via command and then flash twrp via twrp.
3. Do I have to flash lazyflasher when I flash magisk? Which version of magisk is recommended atm? 1600?
4. After flashing one (or both, I don't know) I would go with flashing aosip or havoc (which is better on battery, features and over all performance?).
5. Do I have to flash some firmware or anything?
6. Since I am on Anti 4 (probably, didn't check yet but I am quite sure since I updated on 9.5.19) do I have to be aware of something else important?
Thank you guys for every help. If my answers will get answered and everything runs smooth sailing I will write a noob/starting guide to focus the knowledge a bit more. It seems really clustered in this forum
Do not flash any firmware for now. Since your are in 9.5.19 it has anti 4 enabled.. flashing firmware over anti 4 will brick your device.
Unlock bootloader
Boot to twrp and flash twrp
Wipe system cache dataa and flash custom ROM and gapps
Reboot to system
Reboot to twrp and flash magisk

I still at 9.2.13 didn't update to 9.5.19 in that case I can flash and roll back to any firmware below antilock right?

Yes. If you are in 9.2.13 build then you have to flash firmware along with custom ROM.
But if you are running 9.5.19 build do not flash any firmware. Just ROM and gapps is enough

Which firmware are you referring to? You mean I can roll back or do I have update to certain firmware to flash custom Roms?

Yes you have to flash firmware file recommended by custom rom developer to avoid problems while using custom ROM. And its not related to anti rollback protection.
All the firmware recommended by developers doesnt have anti rollback protection but you shouldn't flash firmware file if you are using 9.5.19 stable build or 8.7.12 beta build because these build contains ARP and flashing firmware in ARP enabled device will brick your mobile

I'm a bit confused here. I have always been under the impression that firmware = ROM (with other phone brands) and they seem to be discussed interchangeably. Now with my Xiaomi Note 5 Pro, I hear about these as separate items a lot. What is the difference between firmware and the custom ROM, at least in the Xiaomi world? How do I know when I am dealing with one or the other?
TIA,

Your understanding is correct firmware is nothing but a ROM, but in custom ROM, developers dont include bootloader (In custom ROM world firmware contains bootloader related stuffs) in their OS because they will make use of bootloader from stock ROM thats why developer recommended firmware files so that their ROM works perfectly without any problem.
I might be wrong but this is how things work here. If you are on lastest global MIUI beta ROM then you dont have to flash recommended firmware file by custom ROM developer

So when people talk about flashing firmware, they're really saying to flash/change the bootloader? Does the bootloader have a name, version number we would reference, or it's just 'the bootloader for MIUI Global 9..5.19.0'?
If I understand you correctly, if someone offers a ROM with and without firmware, you could install the ROM without firmware and it would work ok, but installing with the firmware (changing the bootloader) would make the ROM work better? Or just do the ROM with firmware if you have problems with the version that didn't install the firmware/bootloader?
I'm on MIUI Global 9.5.19.0. (just normal ROM), but with unlocked bootloader, twrp, Magisk installed (I can't work without my Titanium Backup Pro!)

Most of the firmware recommended by developers contains older bootloader (Antirollback protection version 3)
Since you are in 9.5.19 your bootloader has Antirollback protection (ARP 4) so if you try to flash older firmware then your mobile will get bricked so avoid flashing any firmware recommended by developer because you already have latest bootloader
Firmware name will be based on global beta ROM version
Hi Guys,
I am stucked at fastboot mode afterb trying to flash back to China Rom,how to get out of it?
Thanks in advance.
Mi max 3 anti roll back, you mus flash last version to unbrick your device
1. This is not the right section for this question.
2. if you came from 8.8.23 China Beta you have Anti-rollback, which means that to move to china stable you would have to wait for the next china release and flash it from the updater app and not from fastboot. I know its annoying but its safe. If you are stuck in fastboot try flashing latest 8.8.23 China Beta from mi flasher
3. if you came from 8.8.9 China Beta, Try flashing 8.8.9 again
This happened me too today. My phone arrived with the fake global rom 9.6.4. I was flashing official Chinese rom v9.6.11.0 and got a message saying flash successful, however a window also popped up saying MiFlash stopped working and my phone was stuck on the fastboot screen then.
If you find a solution to this problem I would appreciate it and vice versa.
STUCK TWO!!!

1- flash and boot to twrp
2- format data then wipe (system and cashes)
3- flash xiaomi.eu 8.8.9 or any release before that and reboot
4- use mi flashtool to flash any stable before 9.6.12 or beta before 8.8.17 and choose wipe all and lock in mi flashtool ( this is very important to unlock it your self later with official permission)
Goodluck

yes, most of the unlocked phones from retailers are unlocked without official authorization and that is the main reason for ADB/fast boot fails in some cases , I have MM1, MM2 and now MM3 and I know this by experience.

hi, you enlighten me so much. can i ask more? now what rom do u use in mi max 3? and why?
So to rectify, I tried to flash the official China ROM V.9.6.11 again. It did not flash properly again the 2nd time.
I then asked it to "flash and lock". Official China ROM flashed now and operating on my phone.
My plan is now to apply to have the phone OFFICIALLY unlocked, as it was obviously unofficially unlocked to put the fake Global ROM on it by the vendor, which caused a problem being stuck in Fastboot.
I do not mind waiting the 2 weeks, and once unlocked I will either put the Xiaomi.EU rom on it, or hopefully the official Global ROM will be released by that time.

You must relock and unlock with official mi permission to avoid fastboot flashing issues.
Where I can download the official rom to use mui flash?
Where i can find an explanation to use mui flash? Cause after lock the boot loader the phone is in bootloop...

What do you actually flash in step 1?
Is step 3 really necessary? Why can't I flash from the fake ROM directly to 9.6.11?
Thanks, man!

in step (1) flash official twrp ( I used minimal adb v1.4.3), step (3) is to have correct firmware and avoid mi flasher fail and boot loop ( many guys try flashing directly from fake rom to China but ended up with bootloops)

Alright, so I am on China stable 9.6.11 with TWRP (not Xiaomi original recovery). When I flashed my latest ROM, I chose "clean all and lock (bootloader)" per your instructions and I applied for offical bootloader unlocking by downloading Xiaomi flash unlocking. I still have 500+ hours, but I was told when my bootloader is unlocked eventually, my user data will be erased again.
So will it be a better idea to flash global stable ROM first or wait for the official bootloader unlocking then flash global stable ROM?
Question: I have China Stable 9.6.12.0 on mine Max3. If I want to install the Global Version should I have to wait for Global Version equal version (9.6.12.0) or later? Os there any suggestion to flash the incoming Global 9.6.7.0 on mine (ARB suposed to be implemented in mine version)?
Inviato dal mio S8 utilizzando Tapatalk
hello all, if someone can help me, i have my mi max3 with locked bootloader.
now i dont have any rom on it so trying to load a rom but getting an error ERASE is not allowed in locked state
what rom can i flash on it ?
tried to unlock bootloader via the tool, it gets stuck at 50% cannot verify phone.
Good Day all,
I was wondering, is it possible to revert to the stock recovery after installing the Global ROM on the mi mix 3 China Version?
Reason I am wondering is because when I/We receive a OTA update from Xiaomi while using the Global ROM, will the phone be able to update or will it just freak out on me/us and die?
Currently I am waiting for my Bootloader to be unlocked (ETA 70HRS), I have all files necessary files downloaded (TWRP, Global ROM, Magisk v17.1)
Help/Advice would be appreciated :good:
Kind Regards

I find you very helpful in the forum and I would like to ask you few questions, I am thinking about buying the device but only chinese version is available here and I cant wait for the global to arrive
my questions are:
1- global version only released with 6GB RAM , if I got chinese version with 8GB , will it be able to run the global ROM ?
2- I have never flashed a ROM before , but I have strong knowledge in linux and command lines, will this be a hard task for me to do ? is it risky to brick the device ?
3- After flashing the Global ROM , will I receive official OTA updates directly from xaiomi without any problems ?

1. Yes no problem, I'm on 8GB model and worked fine
2. Really hard to hard brick, soft brick possible but easily fixable via fastboot to flash new system, boot etc
3. I believe so, not tested as there isn't a 2nd global update out?

1. Yes

3. Only relock the bootloader on the ROM base it came with. So if your phone came with the Chinese ROM do not relock bootloader with global. If you do it's goodbye phone
Stock ROM will install stock recovery once phone has booted up

You'd have to use the Xiaomi EU rom with or without magisk as the global ROM has a CTS mismatch so won't pass safety net.

No, flashing the ROM will keep TWRP installed as it's a custom miui ROM.
OTA works and will automatically flash the update via TWRP for you.

Just a quick update for you all that I have successfully, unlocked the Bootloader and installed the ROM.
Just a quick note to mention that after you do:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_perseus.img
DO NOT put in the command:
fastboot boot TWRP_perseus.img
After flashing TWRP just take your phone (either connected or disconnected from PC) and hold vol up and power. It will reboot in TWRP.
I tried rebooting into the recovery using the above command line and it just rebooted into MIUI Recovery.
Hope this helps :good:
GAPPS
Has anyone tried to flash GAPPS onto this ROM safely or would it mess everything up?
Hi,
I just tried to root my Mi Max 3 but got bootloop, what can I do?
I unlocked the device.
Then I flashed TWRP 3.2.0. nitrogen, devcie was encrypted then.
I flashed Magisk 18.1., rebooted, but bootloop.
I rebooted into TWRP again and flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip and again Magisk 18.1 and rebooted, but bootloop only.
I did factory reset but bootloop only.
What am I suposed to do? Any help from you guys?
Thanks you very much !
download and install the latest twrp from nijel8. Make a wipe and install only a clean rom and magisk. Nothing more. It must work.
Tried magisk 18.0?
I use magisk 18.0 and official twrp 3.2.3.0.
Hi,
it didnt help unfortunately.
I think I first need to flash a stock firmware completely right? Then try another round with the suggested versions by you guys.
I downloaded stock ROM from Xiao Mi Website here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
It is named: nitrogen_global_images_V10.2.1.0.OEDMIFK_20181218.0000.00_8.1_global
But when I try to flash it via fastboot mode and the help of Xiao Mi Flash Tool I get an error like this (attachment)
Any help?
Update: I just flashed official full rom named: miui_MIMAX3Global_V10.2.1.0.OEDMIFK_885d8903d6_8.1.zip via TWRP and it didnt show any errors (but TWRP still installed, I expected stock revoery actually?!). I wiped cache and rebooted but still bootloop.
I am really not sure what to do now.
Update 2: I now was able to flash stock rom (nitrogen_global_images_V10.2.1.0.OEDMIFK_20181218.0000.00_8.1_global) via fastboot mode (error like on screenshot didnt appear anymore, dont really know why) now phone is only booting into stock MIUI recovery and shows a red noteification: "This MIUI Version cant be installed on this device" -> Can anybode give me help please?
Update 3: Tried to unlock again but it fails due to my device is not bound to my MI Account, but how to add it to account as I cant boot it up anymore and go to the settings in android. Or do I need another FULL Rom? I read smth that this error (Rom cant be installed on this device) appears if one is trying to flash Global Rom instead of China ROM? Where to get this one? Dont know the difference actually But my phone had google services preinstalled
I now even downloaded the chinese full rom: Mi Max 3 China Stable ROM 10.0.6.0 – V10.0.6.0.OEDCNFH / MIUI 9 / fastboot / Android Oreo because I think maybe this was originally i nstalled (purchased phone in Indonesia which is black market)
but once I try to flash it, the mix flash tool tells me now erase is not allowed in locked mode. I need to unlock first? but how? Unlock bootloader is not possible due to device is not bound with my mi-account.
I am really lost know
current situation:
not able to flash china full rom because locked
not able to unlock because device not bound to mi-account
I amonly able to bootup into mi-stock reciovery and stock bootloader.
what can I do?

Can't you flash from stock recovery? Download recovery rom matching your stock recovery(china or global), save in microsd. Enter recovery and flash rom.
Edit: sorry, just checked. Not possible to select file from stock mi recovery.

I dont really know. AT least all google services were available. does this mean it has been the global base? I bought this phone in Indonesia were it is not available officially, only through some black market sellers in the malls. Maybe they also have used the chinese versions, unlocked and reflashed the global versions and then they sell it. So maybe it has been the chinese base originally but is sold out with the global version? On the devices backside is a sticker with IMEi, IMEI2, MEID and SN, does this say anything about the version?

thanks a lot for this tip, bro. I am not sure because in this guide they say it will help you to flash a recovery? I am having stock recovery already installed. I need to reflash the correct Rom. Anyway, I will try it asap. Atm it fails due to bad internet connection in my hotel right now.
I will download following ROM: Chinese Stable: MIUI 10 V10.2.1.0.OEDCNXM as a .zip archive and will try to load it into the Mi Assistant tool and try to start flashing from there. OK? Will let you know about the result then.

Its for flashing rom. Use the recovery rom, not fastboot rom. What it means is that your recovery should match the rom. (MiRecovery china, recovery rom china. MiRecovery global, recovery rom global)
I dont know which recovery version you successfully flashed to phone, but i guess its china. Won't able too boot if device is locked and recovery is not original to phone aka china recovery.
Edit:from that thread,someone successfully flashed miui10. If you failed to do so, DO NOT try to flash miui9. Different ARB, will permanently brick device.

My recovery is at least in english language, does this help?
I just tried to flash the CN rom package mentioned in my last post with this MiAssistant Beta 3.0, but package verification failed:
Does this mean it is the wrong rom package and I simply need to download the other versions and test it with other ones and once erfification works fine I will know this must be the correct one? Or is this just another error i am know running into?
Any idea?
Many tanks!
PS: Many thanks for your update: I only tried to load miui_MIMAX3_V10.2.1.0.OEDCNXM_4f84ff82ea_8.1.zip into that Mi Assistant but verification failed, didnt do anything else so far.

I guess verification failed means not matching. You can try global rom. Btw, have you try wipe data. Maybe rom already flashed properly but data bug causes bootloop. Try wipe then reboot.

Yes, I also used this wipe feature in this Mi Assistant but unfortunately it did not help. After rebooting again bootup screen appears a bit longer and I can hear a short beep sound which let me think it will boot up properly but unfortunately it then restarts into recovery mode only.
well installed is this one: nitrogen_global_images_V10.2.1.0.OEDMIFK_20181218.0000.00_8.1_global, which I flashed earlier today via mi flash tool.
Now I tried to flash miui_MIMAX3Global_V10.2.1.0.OEDMIFK_885d8903d6_8.1.zip which should be the same, but verification failed, too.
Does it make sense?!
In this thread, there are many Stock Roms available:

Shall I download all MIUI 10 Stable (Global and China) and try?

Global and china rom have their own signature. But different version always have same signature. If verification failed, I thought signature didn't match.
Now you have tried both global and china and still failed. I'm confused. I don't have any idea anymore..

Thanks anyway bobo9900 for assisting me. And I should not try to flash a MIUI 9 rom, yeah?
Argh, I really don't understand it. I just got this phone yesterday, unlocked and installed twrp and magisk by using a how.to especially for Mi Max 3 and ran into this issue, FU**. Why does this happen to me, I only did these simple steps. Phone for trash after 1 day already?
Anybody else there who can help me?

Confirm your version global or china, so other might able to help. Mine come locked with screen protector sticker in English without Chinese words. Box had 'global version' written in red sticker.
Semoga sukses bro..

well, now there is nitrogen_global_images_V10.2.1.0.OEDMIFK_20181218. 0000.00_8.1_global installed on the phone.
Also the Mi Assistant tool recgnizes V10.2.1.0.OEDMIFK as currently installed. My box has pon backside some chinese signs, no teaser "Global version". I think it has been chinese but black market sellers flashed global roms already to fit the indonesian market.
But I just noticed that in this Mi Assistant tool I have the options "Flash" and "Quick FLash" (erase all data) and there they mention it will work with Miui 8 and 9. Seems this Assistant tool is not MIUI 10-ready?! And I couldnt find a newer version of this.
Maybe this is the reason why verification with MIUI 10 packages fails?

Read the last page, someone manage to re flash 10.0.2.0.
If you wanna flash old version, check ARB level first.

OK checked. Through fastboot check of ARB I get:
fastboot getvar anti
getvar:anti FAILED (remote: GetVar Variable Not found)
finished. total time: 0.016s
Wondering again why again an error lol
TRhrough opening flash_all.bat file I see:
CURRENT_ANTI_VER=4
fastboot %
which means I cant downgrade, ya?
All the stock MIUI rom available have an anti-rollback lv 0. Am I basically SOL until Xiaomi releases a rom that is anti-rollback lv 1 or is there a workaround? My phone is the global version if that helps.

I think I have the same phone as you do. My last lifeline was to try and flash the Pixel boot.img and see if that would at least get me recovery. No luck. Not really sure what to do at this point, but I think that it's the anti-rollback that may be causing a problem for me as well - just not sure what else is on there that could prevent it from accepting and booting a flash recovery. None that I've tried (lineage, pixel, orange, or twrp) work.
I think I'm just going to set the phone aside for a few months and hope that something develops in the meantime. Right now the phone is stuck in fastboot and is still a recognized device. I'd hate to blackscreen it by experimenting.
Just an aside, at this point I'd be very cautious about trying to flash a custom ROM to any handset that's been OTA upgraded to Android 12/Miui 13.
I gave it one last try using zgfg's recommendation here:
Bootloop Fastboot (stock) / Phone locked for security reason (Xiaomi.eu)
Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE (Lisa) Stock 12.5.8 EEA Bootloader unlocked, Orange Fox recovery and Magisk Canary 25.2 I was running the same set-up for a couple of months, by only updating when newer Magisk was released or some module. I never had any...
forum.xda-developers.com
Downloaded the -fastboot EU ROM which came with it's own .batch file in the archive. It pretty much wiped everything from the phone and installed a functioning version of A12/Miui13 and the handset is working again.
It's the same with me *anti 1*, I wanted to install miui eu. Is it smart, if anyone can give some advice. Thanks and regards .

Just like Mthw, i was on MIUI 13.0.10 EEA and anti 1, gone back and forward between stock (only used stock fastboot) and custom, only problem was trying to flash other roms from stock, without first flashing eu fastboot.
