Hi, a few questions:
1. Would it be safe to install using the Mi Max's built in updater, the official helium Chinese ROM (stable or developer) OVER a vendor ROM (global, unofficial ROM that came with my 64GB Mi Max)? The vendor/unofficial ROM that came with my 64GB Mi Max is Global Miui 7.3.14.0.0. I believe my Mi Max still has an unlocked bootloader and has not been rooted despite the vendor ROM. 2. If the installation is successful, would the installation retain Google playstore/Google apps and all other apps in their current state, or will all installed apps and all personal data be removed sort of like a factory reset?
3. If the installation is not successful, will it be a simple 'install failure' where the existing vendor ROM is retained and still fully functional, or will it result to a brick (device no longer usable/endless bootloop)?
Thanks in advance.
Good Day - Or Night
I had a similar problem and decided to unlock the boot loader and then proceeded to install the Miui 64 Chinese Dev ROM - Official complete with OTA Updates.
Here's a thread I made to describe that
http://en.miui.com/thread-336609-1-1.html
Now if you do an install on top of this - may or may not retain the Google apps - but more likely - you may run into permissions problems and unstable device.
So - in short I'd recommend - Unlock boot loader - Install ROM of Choice (Mi Max 64 and 128 do not have any International ROMs at this time - to the best of my knowledge and certainly no Miui 8 Official ROMs).

Just an update to my original post above...
The Global ROM for Mi Max Helium (64GB/128 GB; SD 652) had just been released, so I decided to download
the Global ROM for Mi Max Prime (Helium). The download link I used is found here:
http://en.miui.com/download-302.html#458
It turns out, it doesn't work when installed over vendor ROM's. I tried installing it on my Mi Max with the vendor ROM (Miui 7.3.14.0.0),
using the built in updater app in the Mi Max, but the phone just tells me 'Couldn't verify update package'.
Other times, it seems to install then reboots afterwards, giving you the false impression that the update is working. However, after
a seemingly 'stuck' reboot (seemed like a bootloop), it returns to your home screen as if nothing happened... You end up with
the same vendor ROM with everything untouched (nothing changed/deleted).
The only thing that did work for me was flashing the Global ROM helium image using Mi flash beta.
The procedure worked even with a locked bootloader (also, with phone not rooted).
Anyway, for those who do want to get rid of the vendor ROM on their Mi Max helium and install
the recently released Official Global ROM for the helium device, here's the link to the fastboot procedure using Miflash beta:
http://en.miui.com/thread-307139-1-1.html
You will need to select the correct Mi Max helium image files here:
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
You will need to unzip the *.tgz file to get the *.tar file, then unzip again the *.tar file to get the
fully unzipped image directory. You then flash the entire unzipped image directory using Miflash beta.
This procedure works on my non-rooted Mi Max with locked bootloader. You just need to be careful though to flash
the correct image file directory or you'll have a bricked device. The Mi Max helium being mentioned here refers to the 64GB or 128GB version
with snapdragon 652 processor. It used to be called Mi Max Pro but it seems it is now officially called the Mi Max Prime.
i have mi max 3gb ram/32gb (sd650) model.would the above procedure work if i am on official global stable (7.5.6.0--MBCMIDE).i got the permission to unlock but am unable to,the process stops at 50% saying that the accounts dont match.earlier there was a mismatch in phone no,but i rectified that by resetting the device and applying for fresh permission with proper details,but still the prob persists.on reading multiple threads it seems that flashing the chinese developer rom would be my best bet.so is the process outlined above going to work if i want to flash chinese developer rom over my global stable rom,or is it better i go for global developer rom.in all these cases im talking about the fastboot roms.im not going to hardbrick my device am i ?,becoz the nearest xiaomi service centre is some 200kms away from where i live.i thought i would ask the experts here before i take the plunge lest i regret later for not having asked you guys first.plz kindly reply with your advices,im so anxious to flash the rr rom ever since i got the device a few days back,more so now that the 3g data bug is also squashed
You will not need to flash the global rom if you are already on official global rom as you stated. The MIUI8 update will be delivered via OTA if not at present, maybe in the coming days. Now if you are on official global rom and wish to flash other roms, I am not so sure it will not be risky if you have a locked bootloader. Maybe somebody else has experienced doing the same so let's hope the person will share it in this thread.

From what I've read, most people get the 50% error because they're not logged into the same Mi Account on their phone as well as the MiUnlock Tool. If you are logged in with the same account on the phone and the tool, then I'd suggest logging out of both, and then logging into the phone first, then the tool. This is what worked for me. If everything I've mentioned fails, you can use Doom Slayer's method to root and install the rom of your choice, which is posted right here .
thank you for responding guys,anyways i took a chance and flashed the fastboot developer rom thru edl method using miflash,the flash succeeded but to my dismay the unlock still fails at 50%.even after following all steps.it seems the only thing left is to try with the first account which got unlock permission,i have to apply for the micro sim on that number,since its a normal sim doing duty on my s advance.seems like i confused the xiaomi servers or something with multiple accounts.but eventhough i have multiple accounts i used the matching accounts on both the pc and mobile but no luck for me

Make sure everything is okay on your PC's side as well, use the USB cable you got with your phone, install all the drivers, and if you're using Windows 10, disable Driver Signature Enforcement prior to installing the drivers. I used the Xiaomi Universal ADB Drivers. Also search for the Bootloader stuck at 50% tutorial posted by mitch002 on the MIUI forums and try that out, it's seemed to have worked for many.
I was having a hell of a time flashing anything over my Mi Max on a China vendor ROM. I followed these instructions exactly and it worked like a charm. From post #3 above: http://en.miui.com/thread-307139-1-1.html This does not unlock or root the device. If you're still looking to unlock, I can't be of assistance, but I wish you the best.
I have a 32GB Global Hydrogen. I just updated to MIUI 8 (8.1.6.0) and I hate it, I want to go back to the last version of MIUI 7 which I think was 7.5.7.0.
I have read so many threads and watched so many videos on how to do this. Everyone says different things, its never a Mi Max specifically, plus the English is so appalling that I really can't tell what to do. I'm a noob at this so apologies.
So whats the proper method of downgrading? Does the phone have to be boot loader unlocked to downgrade?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
You should download a fastboot Rom and flash it on edl mode
Here's a link to the official tutorial on how to flash a MIUI ROM in Fastboot mode. This link also contains all currently available fastboot ROMs for Xiaomi devices, but only the latest versions, so MIUI 8 for the Mi Max.
This will be the tutorial to follow in order to restore your Mi Max to a previous version, but I'm not sure where you'll find a Fastboot ROM of MIUI 7.
MIUI 7.5 Global Stable V7.5.4.1.MBCMIDE
http://en.miui.com/thread-324576-1-1.html
Thank you for the replies, I really appreciate the help.
So to downgrade you HAVE to unlock the phone using MI's tool first? I did find the 7.5.7.0 rom at en.miui.com but I don't even know if that site or link is really official, you can never tell because if those are official forums they are run appallingly and are full of misinformation. I also heard you can break the SIM slots downgrading (something about losing the IMEI numbers)?
I am getting so annoyed with MIUI's dev team, awful stylistic design choices for example the horrid white notification blind with the weather app I don't want and the colour you can't change etc. Also the worst thing of all is the memory management where whatever you do you can't get apps to stay open or notifications to occur reliably.
The OS just gets worse and worse with every update ruining good hardware. Might just bite the bullet after the warranty is over and switch to something like Lineage but I am a total noob and very scared of bricking it.
Yes there are some issues like losing imei but it never happened with me as I have unlocked officialy and I tries every custom rom in my phone and many times if something goes wrong I upgrade or downgrade to miui using mi flash tool.
I suggest you if you want to downgrade then go for 8.1.6.0 as I always uses this version to downgrade.
However once I downgraded to miui 7.5 rom (probably oldest miui for mi max) then i had serious unstable phone and my phone became unusable.
I am on Nougat Resurection Remix 5.8.5 by ROMFACTORY. I have made a backup of MIUI Version: V8.5.1.0.NBCMIED (MIUI8) after unlocking bootloader and rooting it.
Is it safe to load that backup through TWRP ?
What are the steps to follow ?
Bootloader must be unlocked; and downgrading should be using MiFlash tool only!!! Most safest approach i always followed and never had any issues so far!!
Hello everyone. Mi max 3 is my first xiaomi device, so I do not basically understand anything about the devices. Before I had an Honor X2 (Huawei) and the process is a bit different. So here are some questions:
1- How do I backup the original recovery?
2- When I went to check if the rollback was active, no information appeared, so does it mean it is not active? (the miui version is 9.6.7.0 OEDMIFD)
3- If I back up via twrp of the original rom, can I restore it normally over another ROM or have some procedure to be done before?
In your opinion, is it worth installing the resurrected kernel?
I will unlock the bootloader soon and I need this information to learn about this device. Thanks and sorry for the lousy English (Google translator).

1 - When you do backup within twrp you just select recovery as well. I think this is the same with every twrp, not device specific.
2 - Seem like you have a global version taking this from your post and the version you have. I don't think you have anti rollback activated. However as there is no official global version released by xiaomi no one really knows what to expect.
In additional I cannot really understand your reason why you want to unlock your bootloader if you have an official version?? Some people may kill for that version here . Be careful though what you would install after you have the BL open because lots of the newer roms got ARB enabled.
3 - If you have permissions on all the partition once you installed twrp then backing up the current rom and restore it should work fine.
Just checked My daughters mi 10t lite and to My surprise it still runs 12.0.8.0
It seems there are newer versions but her Phone says that No newer version is avalilable when searching.
Also it seems Android security level is december 2020 which seems very outdated.
IT seems that there are newer versions so why Will the Phone not find Them.?
Mine is the same. Its my first Xiaomi and it surprised me too.
New ROMs are available for download in the app "MIUIdownloader" and instructions on how to install them can be found here:

The article says however that the ROMs are available in either Recovery or Fastboot formats, but for mine (Gaugin EEA) there is an "OTA" version available also. Strange that the OTA update isn't actually available "OTA"...
I haven't installed any yet as I only started looking today but I'm a newbie with stuff like this so I'll wait and see if anyone else chimes in and gives us some more pointers. I don't really want to brick my phone!

When you scroll up to the top of the page you can find all variants.
Always be sure you download the corresponding RECOVERY image!
Then copy it to your device.
Open settings/ about Phone
tap a couple of times on the middle of the screen, till you get the notification "additional update features on" or similiar.
When you go now to the upper right corner w. the 3 dots, you will now see some new entries, select "Choose update package", then select the downloaded recovery image, and install it.
In your case, since your Versions are heavy outdated I recommend a full backup prior - it can mess up some settings or files.

If/When you do the update, please report back what version you selected and if it did indeed needed af factory reset to work properly.
To be honest i think it is pretty poor, that this not just works out of the box, i have never heard of another brand where the OTA did not work, it's such a bacis function and i must confess, that if it ends up, needing me to do manual upgrading, this will heavily affect my will to buy og recommend anyone to buy a Xiaomi phone.
It seems the expression "You get what you pay for" is right in this instance, and i would certainly rather have paid a bit more to get something that just works, if i had known that even this basic feature did no work.
I wonder, if i update the phone manually to the latest firmware, if it will get the next updates OTA or this is a recurring thing, to do manual upgrades every time ..
Check you full FW version (including letters) - some ROMs are provided by phone operators and these are well known to delay or block the updates. Global ROMs should not show this behavior, I receive all OTA updates on time (or I just download and apply them manually as described by y1nk0).
Thanks for the suggestions but it didn't work.
I pasted the zip file into the phone memory and selected it in the update menu. The error message was Not possible to verify the update. You cannot flash this ROM, or along those lines.
It isn't an operator branded phone and it was brand new out of the box a few days ago so I suppose its possible that it gets an OTA update in the future, but yeah, I'm pretty disappointed with the phone in general really and was hoping that some of the poor features would be improved with an update to Android 11.
Its a work phone so at least I didn't pay for it, but it also means that I can't really do anything which might brick it, I got it to replace a Samsung A50 which I dropped and killed so I have to be careful!
The current ROM is 12.0.8.0(QJSEEUXM) which seems to be an official Mi ROM dated 22 Dec 2021.
I will check the full firmware version and post it here when i get home, but my daughters phone was bought from a large generic electronic retailer and it was bought without any subscription to any phone company and it has no visible branding at all, so i highly doubt that it will be because of this.
But as said...I will post the exact firmware version of the phone later, it would be interesting to see if it is the same as "overandout" has.
I dont know if the phone has actually ever received any updates, but i doubt it, as the safety level is December 2020, and she bought the phone in 2021.
Maybe there is a bug in that particular firmware that prevents it from succesfully updating.
I am thinking of maybe returning the phone to the shop, and reporting it to be faulty, because of the inability to upgrade.
Nowadays firmware and firmware updates are a big part of keeping a phone in "good working order" so the inability to update is certainly in my book to be consideres a serious flaw / defect.
I dont mind to update it manually to be honest, but i would expect it to then begin, updating by itself, i dont want to have to do manual updating every x months.

Hi
No i did not try anything yet, y1nk mentions that since the version is very outdated to make a backup, and i have not had time to do this yet.
Will probably do it this weekend, but i kind of need to have her make a backup of her phone....And i dont even know if she thinks it's worth the trouble if she has to start the phone from scratch after the update.
Teenagers have a LOT of apps and stuff on their phone, it's not just a matter of 5 minutes and she is ready to have her phone potentially reset to factory standard
But seeing as you had no luck i am not holding my breath for that method tbh. : )
Fair enough, I didn't bother with the back up because the phone is so new I hardly have anything configured anyway.

If you're on V12.0.8.0.QJSEUXM, I would try updating to V12.0.1.0.RJSEUXM first. Sometimes it's not possible to skip one or more updates and you have to install them one by one.

That makes sense. I went the other way and tried to install the penultimate version (12.5.6.0) but that gave the same error as the latest..
I'll try the "sequential" approach later.

Well, it was worth a try!
Exactly the same result unfortunately.
Not too sure what to try next really.
So i tried a bit here.
What she has is a phone that has the following firmware installed
MIUI Global 12.0.8.0
Stable
12.0.8.0 (QJSEUXM)
So i tried downloading the MIUI downloader tool and selected older versions, and downloaded the firmware called miui_GAUGINEEAGlobal_V12.0.1.0.RJSEUXM_15bfbef742_11.0.zip
put it in a folder called "downloaded_rom", went to the install updates, pressed the MIUI logo to make the "install from package" appear, selected this file and then it chewed on the file for 10-20 seconds and then it just says :
"Can not confirm update"
"Sorry, flash to this stable version is not allowed"
It feels really strange that a phone that has a firmware version called QJSEUXM is unable to update to a version called RJSEUXM
The only difference is that Q has become R, and since R comes right after Q in the alphabet, i would assume that this is the next version.
I am at a loss here, and the posts i made on the official Xiaomi forum, has gone unanswered.
One weird thing though.
I would expext firmware version 12.0.8.0 to be newer than 12.0.1.0. The naming of version seems a bit strange ??
The 12.0.1.0 version is android 11 and the 12.0.8.0 is android 10, so the 12.0.1.0 is newer it seems.
Still, makes no sense that it can not be updated, the file i downloaded is 2,5 Gbyte, so clearly a full image, not just incremental
Try to change your region in system settings (you might even receive an OTA update), updates are sometimes blocked for whatever reason for a particular country. India/China are usually first to receive an update, so they might work.
MIUI sub-version numbers are reset after major Android upgrade, so V12.0.1.0.RJSEUXM (MIUI12 Android 11) is newer than V12.0.8.0.QJSEUXM (MIUI 12 Android 10).
Btw. it seems that there was one more ROM update before moving to Android R (V12.0.9.0.QJSEUXM), you could have more luck with its installation.

Thank you for the reply, i have succesfully downloaded and installed the 12.0.9.0 firmware version on her phone.
So now it says :
MIUI Global 12.0.9.0 (QJSEUXM)
The android security level is now 01-01-2021
I then tried changing region to a lot of different countries, including countries in the African region, and India which i believe is in the asian region, and also a few european, it said "Changing region" multiple times, but no matter what country i tried, it still said "No available updates". This was offcourse with 12.0.9.0.
I feel that the speed with which it says "There is no update" kind of suggests that it might not even check, but i dont know if it does, and just really quickly figures out that there is no updates.
So while she got a marginally newer firmware with a 1 month newer security date, it still refuses to find OTA updates with 12.0.9.0 Android 10 by itself.
I also tried re-running the downloaded 12.0.1.0 Android 11 version i had previously downloaded, but it still fails with the same message as before.
It seems the update routine for this phone is really screwed. It was able to do the manual update to the newer android 10 but it refuses to do anything with the android 11 firmwares.
If anyone has more succes, i would like to hear about it. My teenage daughter is not prepared to do a full factory reset, so unless someone finds a way to do this without having to reset the phone, i think she will just want to keep the phone on the current firmware.
PS. I also tried disconnecting from our wifi, in case our firewall was blocking, but on 5G it still does not find any updates, really fast.
I can report the same as xsatquest.
The update to 12.0.9.0 has worked but thats as far as it goes.
I would quite happily do a factory reset to get to Android 11 as long as it doesn't involve unlocking the boot loader or anything else that invalidates the warranty.
I swapped the regions a few times too, but it didn't make any difference.
I have tried to follow some youtube tutorials on using MiFlash Pro to load the recovery image, just in case.
I tried to flash the first Android 11 version of the ROM from here:

So I tried flashing 12.5.7 from here:

I know that bootloader unlocking could be a PITA, but it does not invalidate the warranty (at least in Europe).
Edit: could any of you capture logcat during failed attempt for ROM installation? This might provide additional info on why exactly is it failing. Also you might give ADB sideload a chance, I don't expect it to really work, but maybe there will be some extra info too.
