I know, its confusing to many. You can start by checking these threads:

I am on 9.5.19, unlocked, rooted, TWRP installed and have received update notice for 9.6.3.0, but do not want to update via OTA because will lose root, recovery (and maybe unlock?)
I believe after rooting, unlocking, and TWRP install, you need to download a version of the MIUI ROM you want without the included firmware. see here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/index-redmi-note-5-pro-miui-roms-t3816343
They dont have 9.6.3 listed so need to ask about that. Also not sure which version of ARB your phone has so you need to ask in above threads or if you have ADB installed can enter fastboot command: fastboot getvar anti

I've updated to 9.6.3 and don't see any relevant change in daily use. The bootloader is still unlocked but I've lost the changes in build prop for gcam installation. I was unrooted with no twrp (or rwrp) recovery installed

Here is firmware-less 9.6.3 version download: https://mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/Global/Stable/

My RN5 Pro is unlocked, with twrp, magisk (rooted), and running MIUI 9.5.19. Xiaomi gave me 9.6.3 last night, and although I wasn't able to install the delta update that they gave me (twrp didn't do anything with it), after the reboot, it downloaded the full 9.6.3 ROM. I then told it to do the update and twrp successfully installed it. At that point, I ONLY lost twrp and I assume magisk. The bootloader was unaffected by the MIUI upgrade.
Easy enough to fix - boot to fastboot, and used 'fastboot boot twrp.img' to get the phone started in twrp recovery mode. Then I was able to use twrp to install itself permanently/properly into the recovery partition, install lazyflasher, flash magisk, reboot normal. Phone's back to rooting state using magisk, but now with MIUI 9.6.3. 5 minutes and done.

GUIDE to go from BUGGY VENDOR ROM with UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER to 8.8.9 XIAOMI.EU:
Download 8.8.9 xiaomi.eu from one of these 3 links: 1) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=280379 2) https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...s/files/xiaomi.eu/MIUI-WEEKLY-RELEASES/8.8.9/ 3) http://miui.dedyk.gq/8.8.9/xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAX3_8.8.9_v10-8.1.zip
1) Flash China Beta 8.8.9 with Mi Flash Tool using the option "Clean All" (DO NOT choose 'Clean All and Lock'). Links and instructions below:
a) China Beta 8.8.9: bigota.d.miui.com/8.8.9/nitrogen_images_8.8.9_20180809.0000.00_8.1_cn_7bfe310762.tgz
b) Mi Flash Tool:
1b) download link: https://xiaomiflashtool.com/download/xiaomi-flash-tool-20180528
2b) instructions on how to use: https://xiaomiflashtool.com/tutorial/use-xiaomi-flash-tool
3) Let your China rom boot up, then login to your Mi Account (if you haven't made one yet, make it here: https://global.account.xiaomi.com/pass/register
4) Once logged in, go to Settings>Additional Settings>Developer Options>Turn ON USB Debugging, Install via USB, and USB Debugging (Security Settings).
5) Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790. Extract it to your desktop so you can use it from there easily and rename the folder to ADB.
6) Download TWRP Recovery: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/nitrogen/twrp-3.2.3-0-nitrogen.img.html. Rename it to recovery.img and place it in your ADB folder.
7) Open cmd (Windows Command Processor/command prompt) within ADB folder or navigate there directly by opening cmd and enter the following steps: cd C:\Users\WhateverYourUsernameIs\Desktop\ADB (this puts you in the ADB folder).
8) Turn your phone off. Boot your phone back into FASTBOOT MODE (press and hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER for 6-8 seconds), then plug it into your computer. In cmd, enter the following:
fastboot format userdata, then flash TWRP using the following commands: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, then boot to recovery using the following commands: fastboot boot recovery.img
9) Changing file system from ext4 to f2fs is NOT NECESSARY, but I included it in case you run into errors, so skip to the WIPE portion of this section: In TWRP, change your file system from ext4 to f2fs: Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Data > Repair or Change File System > Change File System > F2FS. Then go back (back button at the bottom) and mount all your partitions: Mount>Check All Partions. Then go back, select WIPE>Advanced Wipe> select Data, Dalvik Cache and Internal Storage (System should NOT be wiped).
10): Transfer 8.8.9 xiaomi.eu rom from your pc to phone's internal storage and install in TWRP: INSTALL>Zip>Select 8.8.9 xiaomi.eu rom>Flash it.
11) REBOOT. The phone should boot without issue and your bootloader should stay unlocked.
12) Enable VoLTE: Once everything is set up, go to dialer and enter the following: *#*#86583#*#*
IF YOU WANT ROOT:
1) Download Magisk 17.1 Stable: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v17.1/Magisk-v17.1.zip
2) Reboot to Recovery : Turn off phone, press and hold VOLUME UP + POWER for 6-8 seconds until you see the phone boot into TWRP. Select INSTALL>Zip>Magisk-v17.1.zip>Flash it and reboot.

If you have any further questions, just ask.

Thanks, i will wait Phone have unlocked bootloader but probably unofficial.... What to do with it??? is there now any way to unlock it by official way ??? Is there any difference between official and unofficial unlocked bootloader ?

If you are planning to flash the official global stable, the bootloader can get automatically relocked on the future OTA updates and brick your phone.
There is no problem with unofficial unlocked bootloader if you are planning to flash the official chinese or custom roms like xiaomi.eu

To unlock it officially, you must flash the chinese rom with MiFlash and relock the bootloader, then apply for unlock (you must wait 1-2 months to get the unlock permission)

Edit: I added step 12 to enable VoLTE if you want it.

I have a question - I'm also about to receive my new 6gb/128gb MiMax 3.
It will probably arrive with 9.6.4 or 9.6.6 and I want to switch to .eu ROM so I will be using this guide.
But I have some questions:
1. Does .eu update the firmware in correlation with China Dev firmware updates since it is based on it?
2. If it does it there any chance of it becoming affected by the whole ARB situation?
3. I will want to root and use cam2api for better camera. Do the .eu OTA updates unroot the phone once installed requiring to re-root every time?
4. Is there anything else I should be aware of if using the .eu ROM?
Many thanks and sorry for being a noob - long time since I've last used non-vendor ROMs...
---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------
and another thing - the bootloader will be unlocked per the vendor on ebay - I assume using whatever method they use. Will there ever be need for me to unlock it again using the MI unlock lengthy procedure?

As Martin said, follow my thread.
1. Yes, EU changes are based on Chinese updates, then modified for global/eu community. Pretty consistent time frames for the updates.
2. Yes, everything after 8.8.9 EU is ARB affected. I suggest staying on 8.8.9 eu until custom roms come. If you want to try RevolutionOS rom which is free and based on Miui Pro mods, feel free as that is not ARB affected and gets OTA updates for their rom.
3. Every update unroots a phone because it's a new rom (stock vendor and system) - just simply flash magisk right after you update in twrp - very easy and straightforward. I'm using camera2api enabler downloaded through magisk download section (I downloaded the zip and flashed it in twrp), then downloaded the latest posted version of Google camera in Google Camera Mod thread here. It works without issues. If you get random hiccups mess around with Google camera settings until it resolves itself.
4. Nothing else needed to worry about. If you run into any error, just reply in my main thread, and we'll help you out, buddy. We all started as noobs :highfive:.

Thanks for the answers. They will be very helpful.
One more question - does staying on 8.8.9 eu means I can't have any OTAs from XIAOMI.eu?
Is there an option to have FW-less OTAs or is it impossible?
Thanks Again

Edit from nijel's correction below: You can OTA update. The way xiaomi eu ota works is you go to the Updater app in your app folder. Then check update and download. Then press the three dots in the right corner and select Reboot to Recovery MODE using TWRP. Or you can manually download it from here and install through TWRP: https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-rom-releases.103/.
Yes, there is an option for firmware-less updates. Download and flash them through TWRP. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-3/development/firmware-xiaomi-mi-max-3-t3832274

Unlocked bootloader should not be a problem for OTA updates. After all bootloader unlocking is official service provided by Xiaomi. System partition tampering is what prevents OTA...

If I update .eu using the updater app will I get into ARB territory? Meaning I will be updated from 8.8.9 to 8.920 or such with ARB?
It's pretty confusing - basically I want to get OTA updates and stay away as possible from ARB or as a lesser evil - have ARB and get OTA's from .eu.
What would you recommend as best?

There is MiuiPro providing OTA updates.
You have to make little "donation" though.

You will get ARB if you do it through the app or download it directly from xiaomi.eu. You need to flash firmware-less updates via twrp using the roms indicated in the firmware thread I linked above.
It's all explained above. If you want ota updates with the updater app, you will get ARB, but you can continue to get those updates directly from the app and reboot to recovery to flash them. It's really no different than manually downloading from the firmware thread, putting it on your internal storage, restarting your phone and booting into twrp with volume up and power as it restarts. Then simply flash. The choice is yours.

They're better off on revolution OS because it's free and similar. Miui Pro is not a "donation." It's a subscription service which is absolutely ridiculous as @SUPERUSER mentioned. Donating to devs for their hard work is 100% acceptable and encouraged; I do it all the time. Forcing users to pay for a constant fee for updates is ridiculous and goes against everything xda stands for. Many users have tried this in xda forums for self gain and got banned. Do you see a Miui Pro thread here? No, and there's a reason for it. If you like it, that's great, but tell people the whole truth because there are many newbies on here . :highfive:

Upgrading to Android 10 on Redmi Note 8

Hello guys, I knew yesterday that Android 10 finally came out for Redmi Note 8, however for now the china version is the only one available, flashable via UPDATE.APP, right?
That's my question: I'm currently on stock Android 9, but with unlocked bootloader and root with MAGISK.
If I do the update to Android 10, will the bootloader be locked again? Will I be able to unlock again? And I guess I'll lose root too, will be possible to root with Magisk?
Thanks in advance

Just clean flash rom through recovery+flash magisk that's all. Backup everything before flashing. After flashing if reboot redirects to recovery then simply format data partition and reboot again.

i think you can not update this with update app, this update is only for beta tester
you can clean flash it with recovery, if you do this you lose everything along root, data, pictures etc
if you just want miui 12, you also can try eumiui 12 beta with Android 10 or wait for global stable
whatever you choose to do you can not lock your bootloader again even if you select it in mi flash tool you will just brick your device and, bricked device is bigger problem than locked bootloader

Wait for the official OTA update

If you want unlock and install custom rom based on A12 firmware you don't need to donwgrade (just unlock bootloader ed install whatevwr you want)
you need to start from EDL if you want to install roms that require A11 framwwork

Thank you, so basically since my bootloader is unlocked I can follow instructions and just flash rom via fastboot? Color os doesn't have an option in recovery to install anything.

If you want to install lineage or other roms based on A12, just follow instructions
roms based on A11 tipically require A11.2.10.10 to flash it you should restart via EDL (MSM tool)

I've downloaded the msm tool and see nothing that it is catching

Solved, I had to find the right drivers, thanks for all the help guys

Question Updating to Android 13 while keeping bootloader unlock/TWRP/root

I have been digging through these forums, but can't find an straight step-by-step guide explaining how you go about manually updating the firmware on this device when you have the bootloader unlocked, TWRP installed, and rooted with Magisk.
I know that having the bootloader unlocked means that the device can no longer get updates automatically and that the updates have to be manually downloaded installed from the ASUS website. But what I don't understand is how to install the firmware from the ASUS website and still keep TWRP recovery and Magisk root.
This is my first time updating the device after I first set it up in January, so I would very much appreciate it if some one knowledgeable could explain this process to me
(In case you need to know, I'm currently on WW-32.2810.2212.241 firmware, with TWRP 3.70_12-0 and Magisk 25.2 installed.)

I think twrp will not work properly with android 13 because twrp is made for android 12

Dumper UL full upgrade and you will get Boot.img and recovery.img (keep both files at safe place).
Use magisk manager to patch the boot file.
Keep recovery.img (original A13) and TWRP.img safe in ADB root folder (dont mix them up).
1. Update FOTA to Android 13 by copy UL full upgrade into root folder of your phone. If copy from PC/laptop with cable then unplug the cable, your phone will recognize the package, (if you already change COUNTRY CODE and currently use WW 241 rom that will be success update). Otherwise, reboot your device and pop up will appear. Wait the phone is fully reboot and set up everything.
2. Reboot your phone into download mode/fastboot mode (it's better that you should enable USB debug/Developer mode before doing anything). Using CMD command to flash patched boot from Magisk Manager. And reboot, now your phone could gain back root.
3. Check again if the recovery is gone or not. If it's gone, then use termux or any terminal emulator for the "dd command".
You will gain back the TWRP, if any failed, flash back original recovery.img that you have lately in ADB folder on your PC.
PS: backup everything, since going back from Android 13 to Android 12 need to full factory reset.

I'm on WW-33.0610.2810.81, and TWRP seems to be working OK so far
