ETA of Android Version 8.1 for Mi A1 - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Is Xaiomi ever going to release version 8.1 for Mi A1 or we will just be getting security updates without any android system upgrade ?!

8.1 is way more stable than 8.0 and it has got a bunch of cool features like changing of System notification shade according to the applied wallpaper and what not..!:laugh:
Nokia,Sony,Motorola are skipping 8.0 and directly going for version 8.1 for their devices for the same reason.
Is Xaiomi headed in the same direction too.?!

asking too much lol

Sure we are getting it. But when is the unknown part. Try asking Xiaomi And social media like Facebook or something. But I guess it won't be long. Let's say in 2 to 3 months we'll see it. Only Xiaomi knows that answer for sure

Nobody knows.

Some sources say about 8.2.1 update being prepared, but it is still one big mistery

MIUI Global Beta ROM 6.11.17 (Mi 5s mentioned, but with no download link atm.)

Hi All
Just discovered that the latest MIUI Global Beta ROM 6.11.17 has the Mi 5s in the list of supported devices, which wasn't the case with the previous beta.
Source:
http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=413986&page=1
Please note, they also wrote this:
Note:
1. Updates for Mi 5 / Mi 5s suspended.
2. Updates for Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm / Redmi Note 3 Special Edition suspended due to fingerprint issues.

There is currently no file available to download, probably because of this Note mentioned before. Let's hope they will release it in the next few days That would be great!

Little update, the chinese beta rom mentions the reason why it's supended:
1. Update for Mi 5, Mi 5s, Mi 5s Plus, Mi Note 2 and Mi MIX suspended this week due to the testing of Qualcomm codes optimizations.
source: http://en.miui.com/thread-413110-1-1.html
Will there ever be an official global rom for the Mi5s ?
Well that's great news!
This indicates that we will get global rom

So never then.
You never know, but adding the Mi 5s into the global beta rom is a very good sign of it being supported in the near future
I think they just did an error: mi5s should be read as mi5s plus.
Nope, just posted by a forum admin:
hi sir/madam
@EladBr @CL0SeY
please stay tuned in the forum for more update and latest announcement.
after verifying with handsome admin @PatrickXi there is no typo, and global beta/stable ROM for Mi 5s will be launch SOON!
cheers

Expect it for this friday!
Stable V8.0.13.0.MBGCNDI
My Mi 5s was (yesterday) already delivered with 8.0.15.0 preinstalled. Thanks for the .13. link for the Mi 5s Plus.

Are you sure it isn't fake rom from seller?
Sent from my MI 5s using XDA Premium HD app
So far no, but I asked seller to leave original ROM installed and he confirmed that.
Also there are several other users with this version in the en.miui.com forum. A mod there asked for pictures, but hasn't replied since with uploaded them.
At least in fastboot mode it looks like it's unmodified. Anyway, going to install global ROM once the official version has been released (maybe tomorrow, maybe in 3 weeks).
Suspended for the second week........
Do you guys think mi5s plus will also be included on this particular update? Or just the mi5s?
It should also be for Mi 5s. We should see tomorrow.

For the 3rd week now, update from today does not include it.
Sadly no, I fear they wait until the Nougat update for the Mi 5 is out :/

Android Noughat to be available for mi max soon

There is news that some of the xiami phone including mi max (both helium and hydrogen) will be getting Android N. Now they are beta testing it.

I cannot believe my eyes. It seems the biggest feature will be "Built-in rich and colourful advertising"
a more recent article appearing on a credible website http://www.gsmarena.com/nougat_update_confirmed_for_xiaomi_mi_4c_mi_4s_mi_note_and_mi_max_-news-22229.php
i think it safe to say that nougat is confirmed for our device,what remains to be seen is when?
I would never use it i would stick to CM 14.1.
The story is not 2 months old! On MIUI forum they says this:
"3. Update for Mi Max / Prime suspended for making preparations for Android 7.0 beta testing" (from China Developer ROM 6.12.15 theme)
One of the beta-team admins says to me: wait for 6.12.22 update, its possibly will be on Android 7.0 [for now Mi5 has 6.12.15 with Android 7.0 Beta build]

Hopefully they will release soon.
Thank you
Well the mi max prime hasn't got it's weekly miui en update this week... So hopefully that means that we will get the nougat update very soon

They are recruiting beta testers. that means development stage is over. for the last two weeks the beta builds have not been rolled out for mi max hydrogen as well as helim. Let us hope that we get Android N soon

I saw that once you upgrade to 7.0 (for example v7.2.9) that bootloader will be automatically locked, and we will have to unlock it once again.
Can anyone confirm if this is true,

Bootloader cannot be locked unless its instructed by you. Flashing process doesn't have any interference with the Bootloader. Still, about my personal experience, I migrate from custom roms to MIUI 7.1.12 and back atleast twice a week. Its not the case. And given the reason neither its supposed to be. You can clear your doubts.

Yes this is my understanding too, and i myself flash constantly -
but according to xiaomi.eu page for build 7.2.9 : " RELESED Android 7.0 for MI4C, Mi4S, MIMAX, MIMAX PRO, MINote PRO
Your BOOTLOADER will be relocked after upgrade to Android 7.0 so unlock it by en.miui.com/unlock after ROM installation again!!!"

No worries, I flashed today without knowing above and my bootloader still unlocked.
After flashing gapps I get lots error messages. Otherwise no big difference in miui.
Worked ok with supersu 2.79 and twrp 3.0.2

No way! I've been looking forward to properly implemented multiwindow since I first saw Android N. That's such a shame
yep, xiaomi took android 7.0 and transformed it to MIUI 8 based on 6.0 i was hoping at least for display resolution support from 7.0 but no, you still have to edit build.prop and distort apps and icons in default theme. i don't need 6.5" screen because of 1cm fonts

It's been always Like that on MIUI, the changes come with MIUI upgrades not Android upgrades.
