Global rom release

I just spotted this at the mi mix download page
http://en.miui.com/download-317.html#471

Some screenshots

is there a way to flash this rom with locked bootloader?

Can u flash this using Twrp

Anyone having issues with FC of Gallery and Notes?....I am getting multiple repeated messages making the phone very difficult to use since the update from EU rom to this Global rom. Also when I go to settings/about phone/system updates/ reboot to recovery I am getting the picture of the phone with the cable plugged in and the web address at the bottom of the screen. Will I now get the OTA with this rom?
Thanks in advance

Yes ? I did a factory reset and reflashed the rom and now it seems amazing.

Guys what's the main difference with this Global Rom as opposed to the previous EU roms?

Any help trying to install with miflash keep getting error

What do y'all use to backup the phone before you update?

This Global rom has french inside or not ? Nougat or not ?

- Should have French
- Isn't on Nougat yet
- France makes really tasty Nougat, juts eat some until Xiaomi will give us Nougat too

The previous EU-ROMS ar CUSTOM made, the Global is official. So noo need for a Xiaomi.eu ROM. And yes, cyou can flasg the OFFICIAL Global without unlocking the bootloader IF you are on a OFFICIAL Stable or Developer. Not on any "EU"-ROM

Oh great if french is inside and for Nougat, i can wait a little time for it ...
I'm now on MIUI8 8.2.2.0 Stable ... if i flash the Global Rom, no risk for me ? I lost nothing like all my apps, settings, photos, videos, settings ... ????
Mi Mix with no micro SD is not easy for backup !
Sorry for my english ...

I bought my Xiaomi Mi Mix recently (should be arriving tomorrow). I have a feeling that I will receive it with MIUI Chinese Stable. Is there any way for me to update to the MIUI Global Rom (http://en.miui.com/thread-526390-1-1.html) without having an unlocked bootloader? Please let me know. Thanks

Flashed the 8.2.1 Global ROM using a PC and it works great. GAPPs installed and less bloat.

Between this phone and my oneplus 3 and pixel xl I actually like this one the most besides the fact that it runs android 6.0. Why do you dislike it?

Dislike ? I have all Samsung Note Series, as well more S series and here is conclusion.
MIUI is great dissapointment comparing targeted phone price...As I wrote in one review, it looks like little children "played games on Ferrari car"...I have all weird chinese letters as "houses,dots and boxes" instead normal text or keyboard...also..everything is chinese or some sort of...can not sync my google accounts,doesnt have possibility to import of contacts even can not create one, can not normaly type SMS messages....can not upgrade it to normal operating system because there is suported...none !! It is unbeliveable slippery. Official support is..none ! Camera is also very cheap one and images are unbelieveble bad for that devices price tag.
also needed to create weird MIUI account, or something to get support for nothing...bootloader is locked and if you are happy they will unlock it.so ou can not even change rom to something usable.
Let me be straight...phone looks very good...but usebillity is ONLY for Chinese people...for 800€ I should buy new S8...but I am lucky that I will get my money back and it was good school...Chinese devices...never again...Anyway, I could count disadvantages countlesly, and there is also one good thing...design.
Very very dissapointed..waste of money indeed....it was my notice for people to rather spend 700-800€ on something more usefull.
Big phone, great concept, big fail.
my device is 18k , 6gb, 256gb.black.

will mi a1 get new miui update?

i want to ask that will mi a1 get miui 10 or future updates from mi or not? and does mi a1 have dual space setting for dual apps? Is its battery drains so fast? does it have hybrid sim slot and another tray for sd card?

Its an Android one Phone. Buy Mi 5x If you want miui

Please do not forget that MIUI too is based on Android. Please posting this to buy an Mi phone. Sorry if I am rude but I guess you have never visited the threads for other devices. MIUI is being ported for them and most importantly the MI devices too have other ROMS ported to them.
The Company itself has a page [even though I have not seen the recent devices in that list] where in it has [had] released official ROMS for selected devices. So it quite obiviuos for people to ask for an MIUI ROM since it is an MI devices and has a twin [5x] already !
So please quit telling people to buy an MI 5x ! And as far as MIUI being released for Mi A1, it will never be realised officially. And as for custom ROMS and unofficial builds, it all depends on when and if the kernel sources are released and if any developer(s) ports the Roms for this device.
So if you are buying this device with hopes that MIUI would be released, then you better go for a device having MIUI.

Unless you plan on porting MIUI yourself once kernel sources are released you should not spread the word that "it would be done once the company releases the kernel sources". You don't know if a developer is going to bother. It would be unfair to users who will buy the device because of a possible future MIUI port.
Here's the facts:
1. The MI A1 runs AndroidOne, a barebones, stock version of android.
2. There is no MIUI available for the Mi A1, and there never will be officially
3. If you desperately want or need MIUI, do not buy a Mi A1 but get a device with MIUI instead.
4. If you desperately want or need a Mi A1, stop complaining about the lack of MIUI.
5. There are dozens of other devices available that run MIUI.

@Localhorst86 with all due respect, am not at all spreading any word. Nor I plan to do it myself. My bad if that statement was taken in a different manner. And I never have said that it will be officially available from MI either !
And yes I am well aware of the fact that Mi A1 is a AndroidOne Device! And this at the same time makes the device more interesting [but it again boils down to "If" ] !

@Swsultan "it would be done once the company releases the kernel sources" is a direct quote from you. To an untrained eye this could be seen as some sort of promise that once kernel sources are released there will be a miui port. There might be, but we don't know yet. The issue is in the wording. It could mislead someone into buying a MI A1 because of a future prospect that MIUI might get ported but then being stuck with a device without MIUI because no port surfaces. In that aspect it is also perfectly reasonable to tell people that they should buy a different device (one that has MIUI available) if MIUI is important to them. This wont help someone who made an unsuitable decision already when they bought the MI A1, but it will help others not to make the same decision. So the simple answer to someone who asks if there is MIUI available on the MI A1 is:
"No, there is no MIUI available for the MI A1. If you desperately need MIUI get either of the dozen MI devices available with MIUI or find another phone that has MIUI ported to it"
The list of 5 points were meant as a general rebutal to the question "How can I run MIUI on this device?", they are not intended in direct reference to your post, they are just a general list of facts. You did not say that MIUI will be officially available and I apologize if you feel that I claimed you did.

Yes I agree that the statement might mislead someone. I'll also edit that post too. Please don't apologize. Infact I should be thankful to you Coz you brought it to my notice

Miui. please respond to the developers

flipped through the forum 4pda in Russia in Russia, we got involved with the instruction on the firmware LOS 15.1 through fastboot. The man told a detailed instruction about the firmware of the folds.
Firmware system_b.
The question is as follows. Can I use only one partition under the firmware without using the other one?
I also read that you need one more must section, for miui applications, you can also create it for yourself.
yes we will lose in the amount of memory. but we get a working miui.
PS I'm not a developer just reading the forums I collect information bit by bit.

The work to port miui on mi a1 is really huge and above all it's a nonsense.
If you want miui then buy a miui capable phone. Mi 5x is an example... The mi a1 Chinese twin.
Someone tried to port miui to mi a1 in vain...
Personally I doubt that anyone is ready to take the task and make this work.

The MIUI version of a1 is even cheaper to buy... I really don't understand why people want to run MIUI on the only Xiaomi phone where you pay a premium not to have it in the first place.

The mind boggles!
As others have said, if people want a MIUI phone, buy *any* other Xiaomi device!

I am so glad to see the replies from you other people. I thought I was missing something thinking "What? WHY!"
There is an, as I understand it, identical device with MIUI (Mi 5X?) already. And a bunch of other Xiaomi phones of course.
There actually was a thread some time back (a couple of months?) about MIUI on A1 and someone being a bit snotty about it. HAve to go back and look... (yeah, I live a pretty pathetic life... )

Just if you deal with the sections in this phone it will help to solve problems later. e.g. flyme

I believe the reason for people wanting MIUI in Mi A1 was because Mi A1 has more bands than its Chinese twin.

I realised that too afterreading an old thread about this. Apparently band 20 isn't enabled in 5X.

Why immediately idiocy? I'm trying to figure out what's what, I'm interested in porting. Since I have not done this before, I find out the necessary information. Therefore, the developers, share experiences, can advice.

i'm sure there are a lot of alternatives close to the Mi A1

I understand that porting and developing is fun and people are curious, but why not focus your energy and time on other things? (like helping with 7.1.2 and 8.1.0 AOSP builds or pressuring Xiaomi into releasing the sources for Oreo).
If someone success on porting MIUI, probably 3 people in the world would use it. It's pointless.
Don't be so stubborn on something that's pretty much pointless.

@Pa94 I'm also slowly researching what a port would take. I don't think it would be too hard considering we have an almost equal device in mi 5x to use as base for a patchrom. Then port that on top of any nougat rom for the A1. However I don't have enough time currently and knowledge about the partition layouts. What I know differs is the miui cust partition and the a/b layout. I guess it takes first of all an boot.img port pointing to the right partitions and things. Then patch the 5x rom.

Here we go, again!

Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite (Daisy) GSI

I realize that now there are so many devices that it would be impossible to make special rom for each of them. But I wonder, now I see so many people shouting for ROMs; that is Havoc, RR, Arrow etc. optimized for the Xiaomi mi A2 Lite. Possible that when I would like to try a ROM dedicated to him, none of the developers even the previous ROM take it into consideration? Yet I still see a continuous optimization for devices even a little more 'dated, like the oneplus2 or 3 that despite everything still assert themselves, but never Mi A2 Lite. I do not know what else to say, if not to hope that some developer can read these words of mine and maybe take a little into consideration. It is not to do controversy absolutely, but I wanted to give you my opinion, and since we are a community, we also feed with this.

Should I buy k20 or 9t?

I'm asking it because on AliExpress the k20 has chinese rom originally, and the global rom is flashed after unlocked bootloader.
Te 9t has global rom officially.
Which is the better option? If I buy the k20, can I make it a full fledge 9t with working gpay, etc?
I'm asking it because there is a significant price difference between them.

Yes You Can After Unlocking BL ... You Just Have To Flash Fastboot Global ROM and you good to go
---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------
See There Are 3 Versions Of The Same Devices
1. Chinese one
2. Indian one
3. Global one
( code names are also little bit different )
You can flash any ROM meant for any version to the device you buy .
FYI Giving Some Example Of SomeOne Who Faced Problem Regarding This.
[[[[[Ok guys I figured it out.Redmi K20 firmware starts with "Davincini" and 9T firmware starts with "Davinici" . So I have opened each of the "flash_all,flash_all_except_storage,flash_all_lock " with note pad plus and edited the words Davincini in the k20 fastboot rom to Davinci (9T) in the 8th and 9th row and flashed it with mi flash .It flashed perfectly . But forgotten to choose flash_all. So it relocked the bootloader.Now the front camera was not working.
There was a August update waiting . Updated now all is fine .Case closed.
Now again have to wait for 30 days to unlock the bootloader . Anyways back to miui 10 . So thanks . May be helpful to somebody...
K20 firmware starts with Davincini
9T frimware starts with Davinci...
Thanks Guys.............]]]]]

As you know this is the same phone basically and I would not say that the price is that much different yes it is cheaper a bit but is up to you if you want to play with ROM installation or get a ready to go Global version of Mi9t.

Mi9t has NFC with more LTE bands

Basically? YES
But EURO B20 and B28 LTE bands are not present on K20 china, I guess.
And not sure the phones version are not region locked in case you relock bootloader like MI8 is.
It is a must have for MI9T global ea rom.

And please can somebody link me a comvert tutorial, or write it down, how to do it? (I think I will go with the k20) I don't want to mess up the phone.
Thank you

If you don't want to mess it up and need a tutorial, it kind of mean that you should go with the mi9t
After all, it was clear to what to do as people post here. But if you still feel unsure on how to do it, it's better to don't.

I'm only asking because I want to be sure not to mess up. Before I had a a/b partition phone, so it's a bit different, that's why I'm a bit afraid but I like modding and custom roms (like I said currently using mi a2) so I will report here what phone was my choice.

I ordered the mi 9t, maybe not the best choice... But we will see. I think I will put custom roms on it after stable 10 roms are out.

I'm using 10 rom too currently on my mi a2 while waiting for the 9t. The reason I chose the 9t is that I doesn't need to flash roms right away when it arrives just to use gpay. I think miui 11 will be good, I would use it for 1-2 months when releases, and then custom roms later..
