Good morning good people of xda.
I have Xiaomi mi6 MIUI version 11.0.3 Stable android version 9PKQ1
So I wanted to install Google Pay and it showed me that it's not for my phone or something along those lines.
My question is if there is any way to install and use the Google Pay application on this phone.
Preferably without having to install custom rom or anything of that sort because I kind of bricked my last phone doing that.
(kind of = I did exactly that, rip my sweet Nexus 5x you will be forever missed)
I appreciate the help, and if you are still reading this I wish you a good day and best of luck in your journey through life.
also: I tried searching on the main page for this problem but only phones pop up and was unable to find the right thread for my problem, so sorry if its already answered.
There might be a solution if you're willing to give the xiaomi.eu ROM a shot, which based on the MIUI Chinese Beta, just without Ads. I used to have this ROM installed for my MI 6, which enabled GPay to run flawlessly. Note that it's a third party ROM by a team in Poland, not by Xiaomi itself. So if you're in, TWRP is required. The only problem for xiaomi.eu ROM on MI 6 is that, the phone is neither encrypted by default nor to be encrypted through system settings. I think there's already solutions in XDA forum to fix that, by changing system build.
Due to the fact I'm a freshman in the XDA forum, I'm not allowed to post any outside links. Be sure to Google search xiaomi.eu yourself.
Wish that helps.
Hi there,
I recently received a Mi A2 Lite.
After setting it up for the first time, the sytem showed a notification saying "System update - Unable to install system update - Click here to know more".
No information is displayed when I click this notification.
I decided to try to search for an update manually. Unfortunately, I have to face a pretty uncommon problem. I do not have any "Check system update" menu.
I looked for it in Settings > System and in Settings > System > About the phone. Nothing. I even activated the Developers Tools settings to check if I could find it, with no results...
I am no developer and I am pretty unfamiliar with deep system modifications. However I have tried to follow many tutorials to try to flash and root the system in order to be able to install manually a newer Android version. No success so far...
FYI, there is also something I do not get, in the Developer tools settings, there is no OEM enable option...
Here are some info on the operating system :
- Android version : 8.1.0
- LineageOS API level : Ilama (9)
- Security patch update : December 5th 2018
- Provider security patch level : December 1st 2018
- Kernel Version : 3.18.131-Genom-AOSP-LA.UM.6.6.r1-10400-89xx.0+ (gcc version 4.9x 20150123 (prerelease) (GCC))
- Build date : Mon Dec 31 14:34:24 UTC 2018
- Build number : OPM1.171019.019.V9.6.6.0.ODLMIFF
Does anybody have an idea on what's the matter here ?
Many thanks in advance for your great help
Cheers;
One thing is confusing me, "lineageos API Level.."
Maybe you bought a used Phone and it's already modified so now you're on LOS 15.
You don't need much knowledge to get your Phone back to Stock Android One, follow this link to get all info/tools you need:

Greetings

Before you flash stock ROM on your device make sure you check that your device codename is "daisy". Daisy is the codename for Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite AndroidOne version. If you see "Sakura" somewhere in the about phone settings, this means you've bought a Redmi 6 Pro (MIUI version). Many people reported issues like this where they bought a second hand "Mi A2 Lite" but then their device turned out to be a Redmi 6 Pro that's been flashed with Lineage OS. If you flash the stock Mi A2 Lite ROM on a Redmi 6 Pro, you'll most likely brick the device and it will be very hard to recover.
If your phone is actually Mi A2 Lite, it will have androidone logo on the back cover, if yours have it then continue to flash the stock ROM for Mi A2 Lite. But if you're missing that logo, you should go over to the Redmi 6 Pro forum and flash the ROM of your choice from there. Cheers.
EDIT: If you need further help, don't hesitate to PM me.
@marstonpear @ohwarumbloss,
Thanks for your replies and your help guys.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any solution so far.
The phone does have the AndroidOne logo on its back cover, but I couldn't find any "daisy" mention in the "About the phone" information menu. Neither I found any "Sakura" mention, so I guess this is a normal AndroidOne version.
I have faced some problems while flashing the stock ROM with an error message from MiFlashTools claiming there was a missmatch between the device and the ROM.
I have decided to launch a final nuclear attack against the seller and they accepted to refund me. I'm pretty happy I will no longer have to deal with this mess.
Many thanks for your replies guys. I hope I'll be the only one facing this wierd update problem.
Oh well, glad you got rid of it
I figured I'd ask in here rather than open new thread. Where would I find stock update .zip files for this device already installed TWRP.

I believe you can't. Stock updates can't be installed through TWRP. But one user had made a package for stock ROM himself, so you can grab that package if you can find it in the forum. I'm not sure where you can find it, but someone made a flashable zip for TWRP. Check the Telegram groups and the forum please. Cheers.
Same here

Hey, same issue here. My dad bought the same model and it keeps warning about this impossible updates. I don' have any nuclear weapon, so I'm planning to threaten the seller to get the money back.
I've been a longtime Huawei user, always very satisfied, and with my contract renewal coming up, I thought of getting a new Huawei phone. However, the big, fat notch that pretty much al P40 series and Mate 40 series phones have now really bothers me a lot, so I looked for alternatives.
I eventually came to the Mi 10T Pro, which has good hardware, and many good reviews, so I decided to pick it up instead.
My old Mate 20, which I had before, didn't have that many Google apps, and all except for 4 could be uninstalled. Those last 4 could be deactivated (including the main "Google" app), and they never bothered me again.
I expected the same from the Mi 10 T Pro... but it's WAY worse. The Mi 10 T Pro is literally DROWNING in a ludicrous amount of Google bloatware, and I ended up with 15 (!) Google apps, which can't be uninstalled!
What's even worse, none of those 15 apps can be deactivated! So they pretty much do whatever they want, keep downloading stuff, keep updating themselves behind my back - unless I turn off WiFi. I can only stop their mobile data usage/background data usage, not their WiFi usage.
A good amount even keeps constantly restarting, after I stop them, they always autostart (impossible to configure autostart for Google apps), all Google apps are exempt from battery saving with no way to change it, some are clawing back privileges after I revoked them... just plain awful.
I'm starting to feel regret that I didn't take a P40 or Mate 40, and just lived with that awful notch... but at least I would've had a great experience without Google bloatware. MIUI seems a bit strange as well...
What would be the best way to get rid of this Google plague?
Would it be possible to flash a China rom on my EU version Mi 10 T Pro? If so, can I just put it into the "downloaded_rom" folder, and update from there? Or must I go through the whole ordeal of having to unlock, then flashing TWRP, and flashing from fastboot, and whatnot?
Would it be possible (or advisable) to use the China dev rom? I read that one gets more frequent updates.
I would be very grateful for any help!

You must unlock the bootloader.
Choose a rom here
Use this method for the fastboot rom or twrp for the zip rom.
or
This program for debloatware.(without root).

There's no China rom for Mi 10T Pro there... should I pick the Taiwan rom? But that one's not at 12.5 yet.
What about the China dev rom? Would it be possible to use as main rom, or is it too buggy?
Does this "debloatware" allow me to remove all the Google garbage? How does it work?

Thanks again.
I looked around and found this guide on how to remove the excessive Google bloatware (and other bloatware) on Xiaomi:

It doesn't require root, unlocking or anything else, so I think I'll try this first.

Yes, but just throwing me the program, without any guide or explanation, wasn't very helpful.
Also, saying something like, "try which apps you can remove, and if you remove the wrong apps and brick your phone, it's your fault" - that wasn't very helpful either.
The guide I posted shows how to remove the bloatware apps, and which are safe to remove, none of which was pointed out by you, and that's why I posted the link.

Even with this tool, you will not have the result of a Chinese rom,especially the features.
(At worst by removing everything, nothing works but it does not destroy the phone.)

Yes, I know, but Chinese 12.5 rom for Mi 10T Pro / K30s isn't out yet, so I have to wait for it, and might just as well try this debloating in the meantime.
The guide tells you which bloatware is safe to remove, so no worries there.

Oh, good. The download site you gave before didn't have 12.5 China rom.
Background Info -
I purchased my 16GB x 512GB Mi MIX Fold from a reputable supplier on Alibaba. It was claimed that he was capable of making it have a "Global" ROM (a 5 - 7 day process is how long it took him). All Google services and apps were preloaded, just like my first Xiaomi Global phone I purchased 1.5 years ago. As well as only some of the Xiaomi Global apps. Now that I have the phone, I am running into a fair bit of issues (in this post I am only focusing on one). I did bring these all up to the supplier (of course including updating the ROM issues), all without much help. All he gave me was he said the ROM on my phone is actually the EEA version that was modified, and of I need any updates, go on www.xiaomi.eu. So not much help, because come to find out, they don't support the Mi MIX Fold and that there is no ROMs available. Including the current ROM my phone has right now - V12.0.11.0.RJTCNXM ("Global").
What is nice about my phone is that all the system apps are the Global versions. But what's not so great is the System Apps Updater does not work at all. It shows there are update(s) available for my Global apps, but when I update them, they are indefinitely suck at "Connecting 0%". I also tried Xiaomi's "Get Apps" while switching my Region to "India", it too showed updates, and would not update them no matter what I tried. So, I search online for each individual system app, and update each manually (yes, the whole process is a pain).
So Where I Need Some Help (The Purpose Of This Post...Updating the ROM) -
So, I am in the process of trying to update my phone's ROM, to get the best MIUI has to offer for the Mi MIX Fold. I have searched all over the internet and the only ROMs I can find are "China" versions.
My current ROM version is V12.0.11.0.RJTCNXM ("Global"). I know the most up to date ROM is V12.0.21.0.RJTCNXM (but it's the "China" version). I would like to have the current ROM, but I have a strong feeling that I will loose all functionality of all my Global system apps. The Xiaomi Updater app unfortunately does not work at all. When checking for an update, it says "No updates available". When tapping "Download latest package", it says "Can't download update...Wait a minute or two and try again". When I tap "What's new", it says "You don't have permission to access the update log...". Please see screenshots for all of this. I even tried to update it another traditional Xiaomi way by using Mi PC Suite, which it couldn't even detect my phone when connected. So that doesn't work either.
So my attempts are as follows (at least 20 attempts). I downloaded every Stable Recovery ROM version as listed in the XDA Mi MIX forum titles "MIUI Updates Tracker (Mi MIX Fold)" I also downloaded every ROM version from a couple other sources. I tried to update the ROM (from the newest version to the oldest) using the Xiaomi Updater app through Recovery Mode. Every time it failed saying "Current version is invalid. You can only flash the latest stable ROM", or "Can't verify update...Can't install official ROM". So then I downloaded the ROMs directly from mirror links to Xiaomi's server. I did the same update procedure, they all failed. Does that mean I have to do it via Fastboot?
Last Thoughts -
I included some screenshots showing what the ROM is on my phone (and the outdated Android security update), and what message comes up with each update attempt.
Could you guys point me in the right direction and help me figure out how I can update my Mi MIX Fold to the most current ROM, preferably the EEA version (if possible), since there really is no such thing as a Global version? I would be extremely appreciative if someone can shed some light!
Hi my suggestions is to backup your data firstly from there download the latest fastboot stable of the rom. From there before anything make sure oem unlocked is there inside your phone if not you need to wait 167 hours to fastboot flash the rom. Guides of unlocking is online you can search for that. After that, download the miflash.exe file, that can also be found online and from there flash it with it to the latest Rom . Hope that helps. If you are still unsure , you can always search online of "Flashing with fastboot xiaomi Rom"

Thank you very much for your response!
OK, so it looks like I will have no choice but to get rid of the custom "Global" ROM for the China version. I do wonder though if I am going to lose out on anything as far as the Global system apps (but won't update, unless manually), or all the Google apps & services, or anything else. There of course are many benefits switching to the China ROM.
I'm just a little reluctant because of it being a China ROM being used on a phone in the US. And having features that only work in China and is not optimized for the Global market. As well as features usually found on a Global Xiaomi phone, would be missing or can't work at all. Maybe I am overthinking it all. Another concern is if the China ROM would have English as a language that can be choses. I assume so, but it would be a plus to know 100% before I make the plunge.
Only if I could play around with a Mi MIX Fold with a fresh install of the China ROM. See how different it really is compared to what I currently have. See what it comes with (apps & all) & what is or isn't compatible. My previous, & only Xiaomi phone, was the Global version of the Mi Note 10 Pro. So I have, I guess you can call it, a Xiaomi Global mindset. My Mi MIX Fold is my daily driver, I can't play too much around. Also if I do flash it with China ROM, I can't revert it back to the ROM it has now, since it seems to be custom. Unless I can somehow backup absolute everything, ROM and all.
I know this is a simple question, but what and how is the very best method to back everything up? To not only make sure no data is lost, but also to make the whole process faster when restoring everything.
Do you have any other suggestions or advice? I would appreciate it!
The custom global rom is not official and you will never get update.
I recommend you to mi flash the chines rom, but you will lose everything.
Google will be available the chines ROM.
bom Dia, como consigo essa rom global?

Sold my mix Fold and replaced with Samsung fold 3 as the software of Samsung is better, but both are suitable only for office use not a daily driver.
I am using xiaomi 12 pro as a daily driver and planning to move to s22 ultra soon .
Did you find any solution to install Global ROM in Mi Mix Fold?
hello every one
i have Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 with chines rom how can to convert it to global rom ?
Hi guys, just a heads up. Today my European device got the global update to android 12 (MIUI Global 13.1.2). I loved this tablet due to the Xiaomi PC mode app, but unfortunately since updating to android 12 when I try to launch PC mode I receive a message that the app is incompatible with the current system version and to update it. I'm using the latest release (12.1.208.5). This is just a warning if anyone relied heavily on PC mode like I did, you may want to hold off on updating. If anyone has any tips on a possible workaround that would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hey, just noticed that too.
As I understand it the pc mode APK comes from the Mi Mix Fold which also just now got updated to android 12, so it's just a matter of picking up the new APK from that rom.
Good to know, fingers crossed someone grabs and shares that soon.

Following up on this. I downloaded the android 12 image for the mix fold and dumped the payload. Surprisingly there is no PC mode apk anywhere. It's also concerning that on the mix fold 2 they have scrapped pc mode and no included it. Perhaps it's discontinued which is a shame.
Well the PC mode for some reason included the free use of MS office apps. Now that was either a mistake or an agreement between the two companies.
So it appears that X doesn't want to continue this situation, either too expensive or offering access to things that they shouldn't have.
Although this doesn't exclude that X will at some point offer this functionality again by itself, without the office perks.
any way to have pc mode back again?

Doesn't appear to be I'm afraid. A new version of the application doesn't seem to exist, even on the phone it was originally designed for.
Well it appears there is some kind of trigger in the new Rom that it makes it incompatible.
I don't know if it works on custom ROMs, but it should have some dependancies to other X files and libraries and in one or more of them this trigger must reside.
so, maybe have to revert back to previous firmware... i used that APK frequently....

I'm not sure you can as it's gone from android 11 to 12
If possible then can anyone just try tweaking Android version and api version in system/default.props may be that would make Android 11 apk work or if anyone knowledgeable try changing the target version in apk it self... I have redmi pad and no pc mode for it just sucks....
