Xiaomi custom users face a problem with firmware updates. As there are many devices with no one to provide the newest firmware update every single release, and developers who provide updates to devices may forget or be busy sometimes, so releases are provided later. Here comes Xiaomi Firmware Updater project:

What is Xiaomi Firmware Updater?
A set of various scripts that automatically generates Xiaomi firmware flashable zip files for every MIUI new update! My scripts download MIUI official ROMs, both Developer and Stable, Global, EEA, India, and China, extract firmware either from the firmware-update folder or from update payload, generate firmware flashable zip with auto-written "updater-script", and uploads them automatically to multiple servers. These scripts are completely automated, running on a Linux server every X hours.
Notes:
Firmware filenames for this device are in the following manner:
fw_courbet_miui_COURBETGlobal_*.zip is Mi 11 Lite 4G (courbet) Global firmware.
fw_courbet_miui_COURBETEEAGlobal_*.zip is Mi 11 Lite 4G (courbet) EEA Global firmware.
fw_courbet_miui_COURBETINGlobal_*.zip is Mi 11 Lite 4G (courbet) India Global firmware.

Why should I update the Firmware?
Firmware is provided from Xiaomi directly, and there are no sources for it to let developers build and edit it on their own like custom ROMs, so if you want to keep your device up to date always update your firmware!
Do I need to update the Firmware If I'm an MIUI official or a custom ROM user?
No, MIUI ROMs contain the firmware-update package which I extract and provide here.
What are the supported devices?
All Snapdragon and MTK devices including China-only devices.
Check the full devices list here
How to update the firmware?
1- Download the package you want to flash. IT MUST BE NAMED WITH THE SAME CODENAME OF YOUR DEVICE.
2- Flash it using TWRP or any custom recovery. There's no need to wipe/format anything before or after the installation.
How to check the updated firmware?
Usually, the modem gets updated with newer firmware, you can check it in Settings > About > Baseband.

This depends on the custom ROM, if it uses pre-built vendor you will have to update vendor once the ROM fw+vendor requirement changes.

@yshalsager : thank you for your answer.
Did you produce that vendor image file for mi11lite4G (courbet) as a single file? If not how could we have access to that vendor partition? Do we have to extract it from stock ROM ourselves?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, Mi-vendor-updater project is no longer maintained (was maintained by another person), so you can use my Flashable Firmware Creator tool to extract fw+vendor on your own. I will try to revive vendor updater project soon.

Ok thank you!
One last question (probably too much unrelated, but I'll ask it anyway...):
In your opinion/experience would the lack of vendor image be the origin of product partition/mounting errors during TWRP operations/flashings or these TWRP product errors shown at TWRP are related to some other issues and not caused by that particular vendor image absence?
I'm currently on Latest @Golbinex crdroid ROM, and he mentioned the need for that vendor image/partition at its flashing instructions post.
Presently I'm facing issues with Google assistant not being triggered with the ok/hey Google voice command...
Cheers!

Because of my inexperience with vendor partition/flashing i'm not quite sure i understand what you mean, can you be more clear please?
i'm interested because following the instructions to install any of the custom ROM available, you are required to flash original firmware + vendor first.
i was on stock ROM and i was able to skip this step, but what if i want to try another custom ROM? do i need to flash fw + vendor first? and it's required some wipes or format some partitions after the fashing?

As you was on stock, you don't have to flash, and same goes for switching ROMs, which requires wiping just data+cache and flashing the new rom.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for Lineage OS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to Lineage OS, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.
Instructions
First time flashing Lineage OS 14.1 your device?
Coming from a SENSE ROM?
Enable all location services: Settings > Location > (all location services) = On
Coming from another ROM?
Download the zip(s).
Install a compatible Recovery
Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM (Optional)
Wipe data & cache partitions of your device (required when coming from stock!).
Flash LineageOS.
Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.

Awesome news, I can't wait to download the first build once the build servers spit it out! Thanks for everyone's continued work on the m9! I'm sure a lot of non-VZ folks will be excited as well!
I'm assuming we should be on the latest Verizon 6.0 firmware for this, 3.37.605.19? (Edit: At time of posting)

As long as you are on any MM firmware. It might not be till next week for official build. You can go ahead and download my custom build to make sure all the bugs are out before official builds get here.

Does official Lineage mean official Resurrection Remix (7.1.1)?
If not, I have it ready and will make a thread once you verify.

volte will probably never work on hima aosp roms. HTC have weird modems.
Looking forward to the official LineageOS 14.1 release for the Verizon HTC M9. Thanks for all your hard work, Flyhalf.
In addition to the OS update, I was also looking to update to the latest firmware, 3.37.605.19. I'm currently on the latest unofficial LineageOS 13.0 release from 03/16 with firmware 3.37.605.15.
2 part question--to simply update the firmware, is the correct firmware to flash the 3.37.605.19_NoBoot-NoRecovery_firmware.zip from santod's thread? And is it safe to flash future firmware updates as they are released?
Just trying to avoid any incompatibility with LineageOS (if that's even a thing) and a bricked device.
Thanks!

Not sure about the firmware version, but keep in mind if you flash the "NoRecovery" firmware, you'll need to flash twrp separately. I just installed "3.37.605.19_NoBoot_TWRP3.0.2-0_firmware.zip" without any issues. I'm on latest LOS 13.0

Well technically the latest firmware is 3.37.605.28 as of a day or two ago... But to answer you question, yes. All you have to do is flash the NoBoot-NoRecovery_firmware.zip and is perfectly fine to flash future updates.
Remember: Make sure you use the NoBoot No Recovery or else you'll have to find a computer to flash twrp back onto it and flash LineageOS before your phone can boot again.
Thank you both for your replies. Slightly different answers, so I just need 1 thing clarified.
I currently have TWRP installed. If I flash the No Boot-No Recovery, will it only update the firmware and leave TWRP in place and untouched?

Battery life seems slightly worse than 13.0 was for me. I'm not a heavy screen-on-time user, so most drain is just passive standby screen off time. If I had to randomly guess, the screen-off drain rate is maybe 35% faster on 14.1 so far.
I have the performance profile set to Efficiency, as I did in 13.0. I may root (or use ADB) and have a look at wakelocks, but based off the battery "History Details" in Settings, the phone does not seem to be getting stuck awake for extended periods of time or anything. I periodically monitored battery voltages too and the battery percentage seems to be accurate, though I don't really have anything to base that on other than knowledge of LiPo/Li-ion batteries.
I'll follow up if I discover anything helpful, but has anyone else noticed slightly worse screen-off battery performance too?
Ok, can someone here tell me how to get root access on this rom? I have tried flashing the armsupersuaddon and armsupersux64 zips, neither worked. Then I tried enabling root access in the dev options and installing SuperSu from the store, that seemed to and went ahead and attempted to install binaries, but now my phone is bootlooping...I am on the latest nightly if that helps, but the first one didn't work with the flashable zips either.
I got root by installing "the LineageOS su add-on", as described in the wiki: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/himawl/install#installing-lineageos-from-recovery (addon zip comes from https://download.lineageos.org/extras, "addonsu-arm64-signed.zip").
I tried that one...didn't work. Might try it again after I get my phone setup again, but that's going to take a long while. Ended up having to factory reset, so I need to download a hundred apps and reset all my 2 factor authentications...all for root. Not keen to go through this again.

After you flash the root addon zip you have to enable root in developer settings and it should work after that. I know it is a pain but you may want to try to start over again.
But a lot of users are using root less and less these days. I don't have root currently on mine. Don't need it.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot...and I agree about root. I only wanted it because I have the Pixel launcher flashed to my phone as a system app, but its been glitching up and making it to where I cannot swipe cards away on google now, so I was going to install pixelize and use that to see if it's version of the launcher didn't have the issue. So I found myself needing root for the first time since my M7.

It doesn't mess with recovery.
So is it worth to update this every week when a new version comes out? Or not really?
Also: Worth doing on AOSP roms? (xenonHD, RR, ...)

Firmware is like a computers BIOS. It can fix multiple issues but always bears the risk of a flashing error, which can have serious consequences. That being said, I've never experienced any trouble flashing firmware. It is independent from the OS afaik, so it should be suited for AOSP-ROMs as well.
I would advise to wait a few days/weeks before you update your firmware to see if the new firmware proves itself in production. Also - if there are - always check MD5s. Firmware update are serious business.
The firmware is independent from the Android build (Nougat vs. Oreo), right? So it is okay to flash a firmware extract from an Oreo-ROM while using a Nougat-based ROM on the device? Thanks

Don't take it as a promise, but yes, that should be possible.
It's probably the best if you backup your existing firmware partitions beforehand using the TWRP recovery from https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix-2/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-recovery-t3730030 to avoid any compatibility issues. Better safe than sorry.

Just used that and video/ audio is fine except for one bug where pausing, skipping or buffering causes the audio to make a cut sound and then gets randomly extremely loud.

So if I flash the latest MIUI with TRWP is the most recent firmware included or do I need to flash it with fastboot to have the latest firmware?

If your using custom rom firmware doesn't matter any version is fine.
MIUI Stabe V9 ROM Firmware (06-03-2018)
Changes:
New file naming system, now you can find separated folders for Global/China and for each device.
You can get updates always from Basketbuild Or Androidfilehost, but for this update use BasketBuild only because there are some files missing from AFH!

Should the new firmware be visible in "About phone"?
Please bear with me, but I find the versioning of the developers numbers being lower than the stable ones somewhat confusing:
- if I want to flash an Oreo Rom, I guess I would have to flash a developer firmware with "f_8.0" at the end?
- after I flash it and reboot, shouldn't I see it in the "About phone" option (still with the standard Miui Rom)? That still says MIUI Global 9.2 / Stable 9.2.3.0, but I had chosen Global 8.3.1, before
- Is there a version for Oreo available under V9.0 for Mi Mix 2?
All Xiaomi users suffer from a single problem, Firmware update. As there are many devices with no one to provide the newest firmware update every single release. And also developers who provide updates to devices may forget or be busy sometimes, so releases are provided later. Here is my simple solution:

A set of various script that automatically generates Xiaomi firmware flashable zip files every MIUI new update!
My scripts download MIUI official ROMs, both Developer and Stable, Global and China, extracts the firmware-update folder, generates firmware flashable zip with auto-written "updater-script", and uploads them automatically to many servers.
The scripts are completely automated, running on a Linux server every six hours.
Note:
Name's will be in the following manner:
fw_dipper_miui_MI8_*.zip is Xiaomi Mi 8 (dipper) China firmware
fw_dipper_miui_MI8Global_*.zip is Xiaomi Mi 8(dipper) Global firmware

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is Firmware? Is it a full ROM or OTA package?
Firmware is not a ROM nor OTA Package, it's a set of low-level drivers which helps the operating system do whatever it wants to do. It includes various things like Modem, Bluetooth, Bootloader, DSP and etc.
Why should I update the Firmware?
Firmware is provided from Xiaomi directly, and there are no sources for it to let developers build and edit it on their own like custom ROMs, so if you want to keep your device up to date always update your firmware!
Do I need updating the Firmware If I'm MIUI official or custom ROM user?
No, MIUI ROMs contain the firmware-update package which I extract and provide here.
What are the supported devices?
All Snapdragon and MTK devices including China-only devices.
Check the full devices list here
How to update firmware?
1- Download the package you want to flash. IT MUST BE NAMED WITH THE SAME CODENAME OF YOUR DEVICE.
2- Flash it using TWRP or any custom recovery. There's no need to wipe/format anything before or after the installation.
How to check the updated firmware?
Usually, the modem gets updated with newer firmware, you can check it in Settings > About > Baseband.

Have you tried Xiaomi.eu's ROM? I've been enjoying my Mi 8 so far with their MIUI10 ROM (China based yet works so well!)
The process is quite noob friendly too!
why are these firmwares provided?
When i update the official rom (via OTA or TWRP) or with XIAOMI.EU roms, the firmware isn't updated?
I'm new to Xiaomi devices, when i was on OnePlus i've never updated firmwares, only roms.

Until Qualcomm releases their kernel source code for Snap 845, along with Xiaomi following their lead for the Mi 8, there wouldn't be any (AOSP) development for it.
The only custom ROM Alternative now is Xiaomi.eu's MIUI10 Beta ROM. I'm running it right now & it's miles better an MIUI9, at least until AOSP comes out. You should try it

LineageOS 15.1 is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8.1. (Oreo), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.
Requirements
* You must read this post completely
* You must have flashed a stock MM update to update the firmware to a version that is compatible with these builds. Search XDA for the best way to do so for your device (if you already did that prior to installing any Nougat ROM, you are fine!).
* You must use the search first and make sure your question has not been answered yet!
* Do NOT ask for the availability of features or if any specific app works - we implement / announce new features when we want to
* Use the latest TWRP available, otherwise expect issues
* If you have a problem, do not ask if someone else has it. Post with logs or don't post at all!
Code:
[COLOR=RED][B]Important note:[/B][/COLOR]
Stock Firmware B360 and B370 are known to cause bootloops!
(Generally: if your stock ROM supports VoLTE it is likely that it is also affected!)
All others might work, please do not ask in here how to up- or downgrade!
Known Issues / NOT working / "Bugs"
* Search the thread!
* Anything running VoLTE firmware
* You tell me! (See "Other Issues")
Everything else WORKS, do NOT ask if anything (feature, function, ...) specific is working or not (Search the thread if you want to make sure and if you don't find it: test it yourself)
Other Issues?
Before posting on this thread, make sure of a few things:
You've utilized the search function of the forums. Nothing irritates us more than lazy people who do not search for an answer before asking or ask the same question over and over again.
If you are the only one having a problem: boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, reflash the rom/gapps and nothing else. Boot up and see if the problem persists.
LOGS LOGS LOGS!!!!
Press BOTH volume keys + power key - it will vibrate very short. Wait until a notification appears that the bugreport is ready, send it to your mail and post it.
Alternatively go to dev options (press "build number" in "About phone" 7 times to activate it), activate the switch "Shortcut for bugreport", then go to Settings->Keys->Power key and activate it there as well. Long press power-key and then use the new menu item.
Only if rooted:
Use this: SysLog by Tortel
If you have a hard reboot (to the vendor boot logo, not the LineageOS boot logo), use adb or any other file explorer tool to pull a copy of "console-ramoops" after the reboot and provide that.
Code:
adb pull /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops
Note: We will not support any kind of modification on the ROM not done by our sources. If you are running XPosed, Kernel Booster or whatever occurs to you, we won't support you in any way. The problem will in every case be treated as the additional softwares' fault (because often it is!)
Changelog
* Gerrit (All)
* Device tree
* Kernel
Download Links
ROM: https://download.lineageos.org/kiwi
Again: if you need Google-Apps, install them after flashing the ROM and BEFORE the first reboot!
Google apps addon:
(Note: Not required to run the ROM)
We are using Open GApps (Link) Arm64 version, others might also be working (make sure to use ARM 64bit when using other providers!)
Note: In case you want to use any gapps, YOU MUST install the right gapps the first time that you flash a marshmallow ROM. Do not boot with an older gapps or without one and then try to install it later.
Note: If you install a package which replaces the default dialer (mostly "Stock Gapps") you have to go to Settings->Apps->Gear-Icon and set the new dialer as a default telephony app to prevent force closing of apps
Root addon:
Official download site - our device is ARM64
Don't use SuperSU or other tools, otherwise expect bootloops!
Important note

FAQ
Q: Why the **** did it take so long?
A: Besides the fact that I don't really need to answer about my working speed:
I have actively been working on bringing up 8.x for this device since February. Some might have seen some development going on with the kernel on 14.1, but effectively this was all in preparation for 15.1: The kernel being used in this version of the ROM is completely redone:
We threw away what we had and started fresh with a plain qcom kernel. Then we re-added what we needed, effectively ending in around 700k lines less of custom additions by the OEM.
Q: Why didn't you share it before, so others could work on it as well?
A: Because last time we did that, someone else came along, compiled our work and shared it himself. (Not to start about all the other copy&paste-ROMs who could have done the work as well but usually just wait for us to do it)
Q: Anything else to add?
A: Yes: read the first post before replying or testing the ROM!

ROM OS Version: Android 13
ROM Kernel: Linux 4.x
Based On: AOSP
Additional installation instructions if coming from stock MIUI:
In order to install a custom ROM you must have an unlocked bootloader. You can apply for this at Xiaomi's official site: https://en.miui.com/unlock/
You then need to install a custom recovery. Official TWRP builds are available, and the official maintainer has a thread with installation instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...covery-unofficial-twrp-xiaomi-mi-mix-t3941867
The official TWRP for Mix 3 5G cannot decrypt A12+ encryption scheme so if you see scrambled filenames in recovery mode and want to access your files then use my unofficial build (version 3.7.0-12.0).
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xiaomi-andromeda/files/twrp-3.7.0_12-0-andromeda.img/download
Once you have TWRP installed, boot into recovery mode. Wipe cache,dalvik,system,vendor partitions.
You are strongly advised to flash the latest modem firmware. You can grab that here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/andromeda/
This only needs to be done once, once the updated firmware has been flashed you can forget about it.
WARNING: You will lose all saved files on your internal storage in the next step, make a backup of important files before proceeding
Data partition must be formatted (not wiped) to remove forced encryption. Use the bottom right "Format Data" button in the Wipe menu. You will be asked to type "yes" to confirm your choice.
At this point your internal storage will be empty. Copy the ROM from your PC to the phone, click install in TWRP and select the ROM. If you wish to install gapps/nanodroid, copy it to the phone and install after the ROM. Once you have flashed the ROM and any add ons, you must format internal storage again. Internal storage must be completely empty for the very first custom ROM boot, once a custom ROM has been installed and you want to swap to a different one, further formatting is not necessary.
Reboot back to system and enjoy custom ROM goodness

Hello, I really want to install this rom especially as it seems the device won't be upgraded. I've never done this before, and tried today but I soft bricked my phone . Got the standard ROM back on now.
Can someone help with what I did wrong.
I followed the instructions on this to down load recovery, https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/?amp
I managed to get the phone into recovery.
I wiped the cache etc, then I installed the modem firmware which was successful.
Then I formatted the drive as the instructions.
I went to move the ROM into the device but when doing this on the PC is timed out, it wouldn't allow me to move the ROM, once I rebooted the device it continued to go into fast boot.
Any help would be welcome.

Hi there, I installed the original ROM straight after. Just wondering what I've done wrong. Why I couldn't move the lineage os from the computer to the device.
Looks like ive managed to install it just set it up as i write....
Hey Inkypen,
Thanks a lot for the ROM, it's currently my daily driver.
What's the upgrade process between the linked Lineage 18 ROMs? Also, do you have a change log somewhere?
You mentioned in the other thread that you are more active in the Telegram chat - how can I join that?

Apologies for the late reply, for some reason I don't get email notifications about this thread even though I'm subscribed. The Mix 3 support group can be found at https://t.me/mimix3_5G and I'm way more active there. All the admins are pretty friendly and willing to help, I'm about most of the time for help and troubleshooting. You can also get access to all the latest builds and other stuff you can't get on XDA
Hello, thank you for all the detailed explanations but I am currently having some trouble with purple/green lines at the bottom of the screen or at the edges of white tabs? I have installed lineage os and have also tried pixel experience but i have had the same results, I have reinstalled lineage a few time but still the same, with miui I haven't had this problem, so my screen isn't faulty, I will try and install the android 10 version of pixel exp and lineage os to see if there is a difference. the green and purple lines aren't too noticeable but I can't stop looking at them! maybe I have ocd?

Hi @Inkypen, I saw that you've pushed the update yesterday but unfortunately it's not available. Did you discover a critical bug or something? Also what's the current status on that ROM. Is there something that doesn't work?

I uploaded a testing build to the wrong place. I've now uploaded the proper build with the May security patch. I've added an additional two extras not in official Lineage which are long screenshot and built in signature spoofing support for micro-g users.

thx great work.
Is there any known issue with the gps?
Lately i have some problems to find my position.
ive been been on 17.1 since last year and decided to upgrade to 18.1. seems pretty stable however i get random lockup/freezes which requires me to perform a shutdown/power up by holding in the power button. i followed the guide, updated to the latest twrp and using the latest build. other than that the battery life and speed is great
Hi! Could files accept characters that are not typically accepted in Windows systems but are in Linux? Like ':', or '?'.
First of all thanks a bunch for this ROM. Been running it for several weeks now, everything has worked fine so far.
Today however I stumbled into an issue: USB Tethering does not seem to work for me.
- tried with 3 computers and different OSs (Windows, Linux) ... never worked
- I have another Android10-based Sony smartphone - for this one USB tethering works fine with all 3 computers
- the computers all recognize my Mi Mix 3, but fail to establish a network connection (no IP obtained?)
Does USB Tethering work for you guys? Or anybody having similar issues?
Thanks!
Sorry guys, I pretty much missed out on A12 Lineage, but I'm back with A13 Lineage for you guys! I will provide both integrated gapps builds and vanilla builds for those that don't want gapps. The official TWRP for andromeda isn't able to decrypt A12+ encryption scheme so I've ported the A12 version of TWRP and OrangeFox for our device. Don't try and install the updated recovery if you're running A11 or below, in that case stick with the official version.
Biggest change to my builds is that OTA updates are now enabled, you'll get a notification prompting to update. The builds are hosted on sourceforge and download speeds can be very slow depending on where in the world you are and which mirror it selects. It might be quicker to download updates on a PC. Not a lot I can do about it, that's the downside of free file hosting.

Hi,
first of all, thank you for your follow-up on the roms on the mi mix 3 5g.
I just have one question, why not make it official?

I have one question for you. What benefit is there to being official? The only real perk is OTA updates, which my builds now have.
The requirements to go official for LOS are unbelievably strict, for example I wouldn't be allowed to patch the ROM to pass safetynet or be allowed to take updated device drivers from a QCOM BSP (which I already have done several times). I don't have the time or energy to work around their restrictions.
