Try both and enjoy. Why limit to one ROM
Stock ROM is somewhat stable
With custom ROM you will get android pie

Just flash ROM and gapps and don't flash firmware while flashing custom ROM
While flashing stock MIUI ROM use fastboot ROM to flash and there won't be any chances of brick. MiFlash software checks bootloader index before flashing a ROM so it is safer way

You can also use latest recovery ROM and flash it using TWRP recovery

So Finally installed GCAM after unlocking the bootloader , installed Redwolf recovery & rooted with Magisk & its working good. Will i be able to upgrade to MIUI 10 with OTA or have to follow some other process?
Also, which ROM & kernel setup do you use.
Thanks in advance!

Yes you can upgrade to MIUI10.. but you have to flash full recovery ROM, still you will get OTA update from xiaomi but its always recommended to flash complete recovery ROM

I would recommend you to downgrade to Nougat first - flash everything except gpt and bootloader to avoid hardbrick. Also don't run erase modem commands, they will erase your IMEI in this case. Then, make sure that fingerprint is working with Nougat StockROM. If it does, try to install CustomROM.

Glad to help you.
Just one more thing to mention: don't even try to install OTA updates (in case you stay on StockROM). Here's why. Your bootloader's version is B8.31 now, but phone is "still" running Android Nougat (I guess). Oreo OTA updates the bootloader from B8.25 to B8.31, but since yours bootloader is already updated to B8.31, OTA would try to make a changes, which were already made and break the whole "structure" of bootloader. This would end up most probably in hard brick.
If you'd like to revert back to official Oreo someday, install it using fastboot method. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/official-oreo-8-1-0-opp28-85-16-t3849244). Even you will most probably loose all of the data, it seems to be the only one safe way to update back to Oreo after downgrading to Nougat.

Roger that, thanks again
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!

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:

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..

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?

Hi all
My note 5 pro is Global ver, 6gb/64gb. I was on Oreo last ver, just before few days I received notification for Pie, so without a 2nd thought I downloaded and installed that. The Pie ver is stable 10.3.1.0 PEIMIXM and now regretting why I did that. The battery drain is horrible, it drains like crazy, on Oreo my battery used to last at least 2 to 2.5 days whereas this one just dies in 1 day, the usage is less then the previous usage in Oreo.
Now the question is how can I revert back to Oreo from this Pie, if at all possible.
The phone does not have TWRP but the bootloader is Unlocked.
Any help is appreciated.

its been awhile since i have flashed anything on a phone. last time i did it was on my note 4...anyways, i also want to do this since my battery doesn't last long and dual apps for Pokemon Go, isn't working like i had it before.
my bootloader is locked. I know i have to unlock it via MUI website and write the reason i wan to unlock it. how long does it take for them to unlock it?
what should i write to them?
does unlocking the bootloader mean its rooted or do i have to have a custom rom?
also, im confused on what model my phone is. i checked my model name: its M1803E7SH
i checked online and it says that its the redmi note 5 as well as the redmi note 5 pro..so im wondering if this method will work on my phone. pleaaaase help

You dont have to write any reason to unlock bootloader.
visit en.miui.com/unlock page login with your mi account and proceed with unlocking procedure, you may need to wait 360 hours before unlocking bootloader (depending on your mi account activity)

and where can i find this package your talking about? is it the link that is shared in this thread?
sorry for all these questions. i dont want to brick my phone
so i went to http://en.miui.com/unlock/ and clicked to unlock. once it was done i clicked on the file "miflash_unlock" then i logged into my mi account. I didnt see where to write the reason for unlocking. so does that mean i am able to unlock it? i just didnt connect my phone yet.
Hello everybody,
yesterday I installed the ROM V.11.0.7 but it doesn't make any changes. It seems official. It's terrible! Today I tried to put the V. 11.0.5 but it does not even let me install the TWPR 3.4.1B I probably made a mess.
It doesn't allow me to downgrade.
Can you help me please?
Thanks a lot!
Did you unlocked your Bootloader?

To come back to miui from AOSP you must use miflash tool to flash an official fastboot version of miui. It's necessary because miflash restores some partitions that are altered by flashing AOSP roms. Just remember not to relock the bootloader because miflash can do that.

You must bind your mi flash to your account to be able to use it to flash a rom on your phone. Note that mi flash will recognize your phone even if you had flashed a different rom on it.
