Hi,
guess this will be more of a review as it is hard to say which feature i like BEST:
Got my MAX 3gb/64gb (helium) delievered yesterday. Since it came with the 7.3 MIUI first thing i had to do was read up on how to install the MIUI8 China dev rom to the device. After a bit of fiddling and translating chinese / indian websites i came up with a workable solution, even with the bootloader locked. So since yesterday evening i got MIUI8 6.6.23 running on the device - weeded out some apps i did not understand (chinese) and installed Play Store.
So far i must say - this phone is glorious. MIUI8 is fast and seemingly stable, i did not come across any big bugs and there doesnt even seem to be the typical micro-stuttering. Im really happy i bought the phone and hoping there will be a multilanguage (i.e. german) MIUI8 for it. For now im perfectly good with the Dev Rom and english localisation.
Thanks Xiaomi!
To anybody interested - flashing the China Development ROM (MIUI 8 6.6.23) with the locked bootloader was not exactly easy, here is how to:
- get the rom image from here: http://en.miui.com/thread-299033-1-1.html (be sure to download the Mi Max Pro fastboot image - 1418mb)
- get MiFlash Beta from here: http://xiaomitips.com/download/new-miflash-beta-one-click-install-miui-fastboot-rom/
- extract tgz fastboot image - keep folder structure!
- enable developer options -> usb debugging in additional settings then turn off phone
- boot phone into EDL mode (phone off, press simultaneously vol+&vol- then connect usb cable)
- open miflash beta - there should be an entry with "id 1" and "device" something like "COM10" in the bottom table now - SEE ATTACHED SCREENSHOTS!
- select the folder where extracted image is located
- tick "clean all" in the bottom right
- hit flash
- enjoy.
First of all, thank you for sharing this. I went step by step (vol up and down didn't work for me, tried power and vol up and device didn't show up in fast boot, did vol down and power and it showed up) then I flashed the image and it successfully flashed, when the device booted it still showed the 7.4.16 global stable Rom the vendor installed : /, I did it again and the same thing, the rom didn't change. could you please help/?
Sorry, I followed the steps exactly as described and it worked out perfectly, thank you very much, its just that when I pressed vol + and - I didn't see anything on the screen so I thought it wasn't working, miui 8 is nice indeed, could you explain how you installed the play store, the one on the Mi store is crashing on me.
it's a little tricky but there is a thread on here that should get you started. you have to use the Google installer and then update some Google components before you restart your phone.

6.6.23 is older (june 23)
6.7.7 is the newest sofar (July 7)
I use the weekly multi rom on my MI Max since its better tuned with translations and the china apps that I don't use are removed
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-7-7-11.32639/
the process for installing the new Version does not change with the newer miui8 6.7.7 so you're good to go with the same Instructions from OP.
Meanwhile on my Max I have boot loader unlocked and root. Works flawlessly with the new MIUI weekly Releases.

Would you mind pointing that thread where it's explained?
Thanks a lot for you experience sharing,
I was wondering maybe you solved this: i can't get whatsapp to run on this rom, even with all permissions given, whatapps and skype cant access my contacts. I got my contacts on the system using the old google installer apk which worked wonders except now i can't get past the looking for backup screen in whatsapp.
If anyone has ideas pls let me know and in the meanwhile i will try to flash other roms to see if one works..
I answered my own question playing with the settings. You have to register under accounts mi accounts to unable contact sync for all apps .... ? anyway it all works now!
BTW I have updated MUIU using http://en.miui.com/download-302.html#446 new dev rom and followed instructions.

Thanks heaps for the tutorial about installing Google Play services
By the way, can this rom you're talking about be flashed following the instructions by original poster?
Do I need to flash in first place the rom from original poster (MIUI 8 6.6.23) and then flash your new one (MIUI 8 6.7.14)?
Or can I flash directly latest one?

I can't tell you for sure but i think you have to use the instructions from the muiu site if you want the lastest dev rom.
1- I used OP instructions and links to install muiu 8
2- updated to last china dev rom following muiu site instructions.
3- installed all gapps stuff
PS if you want to ROOT, do this between 2 and 3: (unlocked boot loader)
1-Download SuperSu to root Xiaomi Mi Max and copy it to your phone sd card from this site: http://www.stechguide.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-xiaomi-mi-max/
2-Download xiaomi twrp flasher and use it to flash from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/development/tool-xiaomi-twrp-flasher-mauronofrio-win-t3405207
3-Follow instructions from step 9 : http://www.stechguide.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-xiaomi-mi-max/
Last thing im playing with trying to activate LTE bands on the phone. If anyone can help for that, i can't get the drivers to install propertly
Mi 6x and MI A2 have same hardware but when we flash mi 6x MIUI rom to Mi A2 camera does not works properly(Enhance low light Option makes it stop ) But the camera modules are identical , basically I am talking about the global variant . Here is the twist xiaomi implemented same camera module but they set some hidden code number in the hardware module so that these module can be matched with our IMEI and The image processing system can understand that it is Mi 6x or mi A2 !! The idea is not quite enough to stop us !!!! WTF is the need of this , It took 10 days to figure it out .
So every thing is already fixed in every miui rom nothing to patch or replace.We can easily bypass or fool the image processing system.
Mi 6X's Code name is "wayne" we can change it "whyred" it is the code name of redmi note 5.
What we need
- Root
- A root file manager[ Xplore, Ex ]
- A working Brain.
steps
-Go to "System/etc/device_features"
-Rename "wayne.xml" to "whyred.xml"
-Now Open System/build.prop
-Now find out the line "ro.product.device=wayne"
-Change it to "ro.product.device=whyred"
-Now make a reboot
Yes you got a fully working camera!!!

What? Mi Max 3 has just "nitrogen" codename.
"helium" and "hydrogen" are just Mi Max 1! First one is equipped with Snapdragon 652, second one is equipped with Snapdragon 650. I guess that if you'll flash helium/hydrogen firmware on nitrogen you'll get bricked

I agree, they all have too many issues. It's been 7 months now and we don't have any custom ROM's despite this being one of the most popular Xiaomi phones (according to their offical forums and rom download stats), so why the hell is nooone developing for it? At this rate the Mi Max 4 will be out before the we even have a single native custom ROM.
I to was pissed off because there are no custom romI order another phone, not xiaomi and when i receive it will sell my mi max 3.I am not sure that will try xiaomi phones again..
I'm currently using Miui PRO - latest version and it is Android 9 - working flawlessly, no errors found so far and battery is pretty amazing Go on and try it guys, it's the best thing and it is regularly updated. Not changing my Mi Max 3 for anything so far. The russians have done amazing job with this rom
Havoc 2.0 is epic on this phone guys. I have been using for over a month now and its solid. Few issues were BT audio and adaptive brightness for which there are fixes. I using it right now and its solid and as stable as can be

is wifi hotspot and google cam working as well?
can you confirm when you free please
also did you wipe system while installing that gsi image?
I am planning to buy K20
need to know just one thing
does k20 also uses MODIFIED vendor image like Poco ? (for treble)
or it uses original vendor image ?
reason ?
poco f1 is on modified vendor image and
1. gives crashes and 1tb data use warning errors if usb tethering is done on 3g
2. volume boost mixer path file alteration doesnt work
can any user confirm "mixer_path.xml" file existance in k20 pro under /system/vendor/etc or system/vendor ?
as poco is missing this file , if this file exists in your k20 then i will buy
If you look for any available Android Q based custom ROM for this phone they all ask to flash it on top of the original/stock MIUI vendor and not wipe it. Don't know if this answers your question.
Again, these are not GSI ROMs, they're just semi traditional ROMs without a built in/custom vendor set.
I'm sure running a GSI is much easier and better than on the Poco F1 because the K20 came with Android 9 which vastly improved treble support over Android 8 (F1s original OS I believe).

THIS meants its using MODIFIED VENDOR IMAGE like poco
https://www.xda-developers.com/poco-f1-vendor-android-pie-project-treble-gsi/
now the only way to BOOST volume is via custom kernels and using franko app and/or smart kernel manager (github)
in my old redmi note 5 pro, i always made RX4 DITIGAL and RX5 DIGITAL volumes to 120 from 84 and i could hear redmi note5 pro from another room (playing music on youtube)

well it has three variants
K20 6gb/128
k20 pro 8gb/256
and k20 pro premium 12gb ram / 512gb on sd855+ , this one is 600+ euros
and yes k20 has custom roms
I've found the Mi 9T Pro, 6GB 64 and 128, for less than 450 Euros in the most expensive store nearby and the 9T with 6GB and 64 for 240 on eglobalcentral.eu
I'm mostly concerned about the openess of Xiaomi towards releasing all of their code to help ROM developers. I've seen nothing but good stuff.

Doesn't make sense at all to pay 200 euros more for pro variant in my opinion
Well in the more expensive store the Mi 9T is in the mid 300 Euros so it's around 100 Euro difference. Same as in the cheaper store, the Pro is in the mid 300 Euro range.
I know the community is much bigger with the Pro and the CPU is a beast and if I could I would buy it but the 9T packs a big punch. If my 2017 Galaxy A3 with a hack job Treble patch runs like a beast and well then the 9T will be much better.

this shows that MI9T/K20/K20pro/K20proPREMIUM is using MODIFIED VENDOR IMAGE for treble support! this also means that later this will create problems for LineAgeOS development as for POCO they already protested and LineAgeOS stopped development on 7Aug2019 (pie) and never released Android10 either, but yes unofficial versions are on XDA
mainly mixer_path.xml, if you increase RX5 Digital volume to 110, and HPHL/HPHR left/right channel number from 8 to 20, *(just above the Rx1 volume line,, and REBOOT
you will have AMAZING speaker, headphone, bluetooth headfone sound!
with Modified vendor image when this main file is MISSING, and all other mixer_path(suffix).xml are inplace! NONE of them had affect on volume (I TRIED manipulated numbers in my poco f1 for ALL the files having RX5 Digital volume, lines...) it doesnt work!
and yes with CUSTOM kernel you can boost volume but it will ONLY AFFECT earphone! speaker sounds very low on poco
so i was wandering! before i upgrade, who can help ..
I thank you from my heart for helping me!
vendor images needed to be flashed manually when you decide to step in to custom rom from MIUI11 to PixelExperience or HAVOC, and DFE (disable force encryption_) must be flashed in twrp otherwise you will have to fomat you internal storage to gain acces under NEWLY FLASHED vendor.img file (security keys change).... DFE flashing is unsafe so just take backup always and perform FULL FORMATING and let the new keys get reinstated for encryption purposes....
later magisk20.1 can be flashed to gain root access..
i think i will still buy k20proPremiuim version as i am getting on offer and it has 12gbRam ...
is overall speaker sound GOOD ? can u hear video on youtube from next room?

Well, I can tell you it's quite loud and I like the sound!
It is the loudest of all phones I had so far :good:
Sent from my Redmi K20 using XDA Labs
error 7 while installing miui rom it saws me your device is devincin and pakge is for devinci i also modified updater file tried removing two lines but after compressing to zip it saws me invalid zip file while flashing
Are you sure that you have K20 9T phone? It seems that you try to flash ROM from diffetent model
Simplest solution: Use chinese twrp (L R team) and you'll not get this error.
I am using that twrp from the beginning without any problem with any rom.

first be sure to have a DAVINCI .. not a DAVINCIN , that's the indian k20 / 9t .. it does have different roms
