Occasional notifications in Chinese - Xiaomi Redmi 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

This is a Redmi 3S running Miui 8 Global 6.9.22 Beta
I've occasionally noticed chinese notifications popping up on my phone, and also on an older Redmi 3 Pro that I have. A post on the Mi boards shows these to be coming from some ad app. It's 'msa'. I've frozen this in Titanium backup and there appear to be no resulting issues so far...

Maybe you are not on Global Stable rom?

hello.
May be you have a rom from a resseller like Gearbest?
you have to flash a official rom.
Best regards

is MIUI 8 for redmi 3s worth installing?

I just got my redmi 3s and noticed that officially the MIUI 8 version is still a "develoer rom".
Does it works well? any performance or important battery life issues that makes it better to wait for a more polished rom for my 3s?
Thanks!
I tried it a few weeks ago - Could not get google services working so reverted to the 7.x stable build.
Downloading MIUI8 now though
it has some new features
if it's better or worse (i have 3 , not 3s) i don't know , but i don't have a reason to go back to 7 (i didn't notice any problem yet)
Not stable yet but it have great feature, maybe a little bit more drain on battery but with a 4100 mah, who cares??
Try it, myself i will not return to miui7
It is NOT Redmi 3S forum! PLEASE write in the right forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/xiaomi-redmi-3s
Hi, sorry if in wrong thread. I bought 3s prime for my son's Xmas present and wondering whether I will eventually receive an ota. Current miui version is Global 7.3 stable 7.3 .10.0.0 (MALCNDE ). I know some have 7.5 but mine says no updates available. Will I have to flash something different to enable ota or will I just receive it in good time ? Thanks
@timbohobbs You will need to flash official Global via MiFlash. Your version is modified by vendor.
Try global beta rom 6.9.1 (miui 8) with miflash beta and you will get ota
The dev update is going well, update every week and has a lot of features, current problem is blocked 4G LTE for some devices, but it could be done by root via TWRP

Redmi Pro Globle Edition vs Chinese Edition

Dear all,
I'm curious about Xiaomi Redmi Pro, but I'm so new with Xiaomi device. Does anyone know what is difference between Redmi Pro Globle Edition vs Chinese Edition. I heard that devices have the same hardware, but Chinese version cannot flash MIUI International firmware. I just wonder if it has the same hardware, why it cannot flash international firmware. Can anyone tell me the difference between Redmi Pro Globle Edition vs Chinese Edition?
As far as i know you can flash the Global rom when it comes out without any problems.
There is no Global ROM or Global version device. Redmi Pro is only for china market, and have only chinease original MIUI version ROM. Reselers flash custom roms for some markets so that is not original ROM. You can flash custom recovery TWRP and flash ROM from xiaomi.eu. Difference is that custom eu rom does not have chinease language throught system, no bloatware and much more language selections, it has google play services etc. When Xiaomi release a Redmi Pro for global market, than we will get original Global ROM from Xiaomi, till than you can use custom ROMs.

MIUI 10 China Stable ROM

On the MIUI Chinese web site Mi Max 3 users are posting questions on the forum about their recent update to MIUI 10 Stable 10.0.3.0 OEDCNFH. One user on the MIUI Global web site forum has also asked a question about the Mi Max 3 he has just purchased in Singapore which has MIUI 10 Stable 10.0.3.0 OEDCNFH installed. I don't see this ROM on the Chinese web site's download page. Does anyone know where I might find a download link for it? Xiaomi.eu will eventually take the new China Stable ROM and tweak it for English/European users, but their developers give priority to weekly Beta ROMs and it may be a while before they get to the new China Stable ROM.

Just updated to miui 10.0.3.0 OEDCNFH stable
MI max 3 6gb /128
Thank you for pointing me to the article and the download link. I'm a bit confused though. The download is for Miui 10.0.3.0 OEDCNFH. But based on Xiaomi's naming convention, the "CN" in the version title indicates a China ROM whereas the article says this is a new "Global" ROM. For someone who has installed it, which version does it turn out to be?
I flashed it and it is indeed the "China" not the Global version. However, xiaomi.eu already has it tweaked for English/European use and it is available for download on their web site.

I tried it but I'm having the same issue as before, once I first boot the phone, the TWRP is replaced by the stock recovery.
just received my mm3, definitely china version as box is sealed without global sticker.
upon boot i see small word on the bottom "unlocked" --> is this means BL unlocked? but the box is sealed so how come vendor unlocked it?
also i got MIUI 10 GLOBAL 8.8.3 Beta (weekly). any suggestion what can i do if this is bad? thanks.

Mi Globe ROM on Redmi note 7

Hey is anyone using mi globe rom for their redmi note 7 or was using it? If so I'd appreciate to read your opinions about this rom on the rn7. Ive used the globe rom for rn3 for 2 years and I loved it. Is the rom for rn7 as stable as it was for rn3?
Greetings,
Anjero
I would also like to switch from crDroid 6.3 to mi-globe, mainly to have easier usage of ANX and GCam. Currently the MIUI Custom-ROM Builder for Xiaomi RedMi Note 7 shows MIUI 20.11.12 (Android 10 / MIUI 12 2020-11-13 00:19:56) based on xiaomi.eu Builds as latest build you can customize, which I would love.
Also interested in any user experience with mi-globe

Hopefully Xiaomi/Redmi will also release a reworked Version like for the K30 5G (MIUI V12.1.6.0) ( https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/picasso/ ) where they seem to fixed that issue? Took them a whole month (from January to February) for the K30 and they still release MIUI 12.1.x for other devices and are cripling google services. . .
Are they incrementally testing how much ****storm they will get if they really remove google services for MIUI 12.5 for all non global devices?

From the comments - Amadan (18 February, 2021): " I tested most of the models in a Mi Home store in China today. Basically, it seems that all China only models that don't come with Google services pre-installed no longer have access to downloading Google in the app store. They can't be downloaded on the k30 ultra, Redmi note 9 pro 5g, Redmi 10x, and Redmi k30s. I tried those today but they can on the mi10 and mi11 as they are models that are also available internationally and have been certified by Google. It seems that they didn't certify China only devices with Google "
Xiaomi blocks users from installing Google's GMS on its smartphones in China - Gizmochina

google translated from the announcement: "Some domestic models have pre-installed the GMS service framework, and these models will not be affected. For models that do not have a GMS framework pre-installed in the system, users will no longer be specifically supported to install the GMS framework by themselves. In the future, we will add more models of GMS systems pre-installed to meet your needs."

Am i interpreting it correctly that GMS is not preinstalled in MIUI 12.1.1 so GSF is not working. They removed GMS from already sold phones by OTA updates?
They now are testing how much needs/questions arise for already sold phones?

Been using QFJEUXM Android 9 and 10 all stock versions, absolutely never ever had or heard (go through the other threads) that Google Play Services dont work.
Also, since December, using MIUI 12.5/A11 Xiaomi eu weekly builds, with no problems (related to Google Play Services), neither me nor anyvody else reported ib rhe corresponding thread.
When stating such things, fully state the name/version of your firmware. Also, if you were playing with firmwares/ROMs (out of official stock and OTA), make sure to Factory reset
Edit:
Ok, I was talking about European and Global, not Chinese stock. Don't know if Chinese supports Google
However, Xiaomi.eu weekly and stable (I also used Xiaomi.eu Stable latest A10) are based on stock CN, and Google (Playstore, Play Services, apps) work out of the box
Exact Version name for Redmi K20 (CN) where it happend to me is
MIUI V12.1.1.0.RFJCNXM
It is a stock rom (china non global) without ever done any modding. So no unlocked bootloader or root available or other non stock rom installed.
Previous stock rom was i think MIUI V12.0.6.0.QFJCNXM with Android 10 which got OTA upgraded. At least up to the Android 10 (non global) Version it had functioning google services included which could be used after installing google play store.
Seems like it happend to other non global stock devices too while upgrading from Android 10 to Android 11 to a MIUI 12.1.x version
Here a thread about the CC9 Pro MIUI 12.1.3
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/kzd2f5
custom rom Xiaomi.eu seems to insert GAPPS even if they are not included in the rom
"Moreover, Chinese MIUI beta builds don’t really include any Google apps and services which the guys at Xiaomi.eu take care of as well"
MIUI 12.5 Xiaomi.eu update released for many Mi, Redmi & Poco devices
The MIUI 12.5 beta 21.3.3 update is now out and about for a bunch of global devices already, thanks to Xiaomi.eu community builds.

Oops, interesting, I was not aware of (the very recent) RFJCNXM 12.1.1:
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
Did you try Factory reset (Format Data in TWRP)
Btw, on Xiaomi.eu weekly (latest 21.3.3), MIUI 12.5/Android 11, based on CN, Google Play, Services, apps work out of the box
Btw, in Settings, About, does it say for you MIUI 12.1 or 12.5 (Android 11) and what is the Security Patch date?

Haven't made a factory reset yet. Currently making a backup of my data. But after reading the other links i am skeptical if a factory reset can get GSF working again. Maybe i'll try waiting 3-4 weeks to see if they release a new fixed version like for the K30 5G
In Settings All Specs
Android version: 11
Android security update: 2021-02-01
MIUI version: MIUI 12.1.1Stable 12.1.1.0 (RFJCNXM)
So it's like Indian MIUI, where it messed device to point where it was unusable.
Stick with stable a10 and research what they do to make a11 daily
Maybe switch to Xiaomi.eu weekly builds, MIUI 12.5/A11, Google out of the box
Already 6 or so releases since December, stable (I'm using for daily driver), tomorrow expecting new release
You can find a thread here on XDA with instructions (basically, flash the zip from TWRP, wipe Dalwik and Cache and first time when jumping from stock do FORMAT DATA - not just wipe)
Seems like i'll need to wait a month to get a functioning phone with GMS again. Have just seen that the current version MIUI V12.1.1.0.RFJCNXM got Rolled back https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/davinci/roms-cn-stable/
Under the OTA updater the last changelog is also no longer available. Now it reads only "You don't have permissions to access the update log. Make sure the account you signed in with has the required permissions."
Maybe they will have released a new version without broken GMS by then. At least it took them about a month to release new versions for
rolled back versions of https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/cmi/roms-cn-stable/ and https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/picasso/roms-cn-stable/

For Global and EEA stable i have found them at the history links which are just after the latest listed version (for example)

from https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/davinci/
Global

mirom.ezbox.idv.tw
EEA/(EU i think this is the same as EEA?)

mirom.ezbox.idv.tw
Another site i found is https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/davinci/. But it seems like that site does not factor in roll backs and has all versions mixed in one list.
I am still sitting on the rolled back MIUI 12.1.1 (CN) version.
Thanks. For EEA I forgot I had to try "eea", not "eeu"
Xiaomi Firnware Updater lists also Xiaomi.eu releases
