Ive just received my Mi Max from Top-One.
It is the S652, 3gb ram, 64gb storage
It has Miui 7.3.14.0.0
How do I update it to the latest stable MIUI version?
thank you
(when i use the in built updater it tells me that there are no updates available )
I think only the 32gb 650 has a global rom at the moment. I have the 652 4gb 128gb Max and am waiting for that global rom to come. Check on en.miui.com in the download section for the Max.
In the meantime, check if your ROM is legit. Actually, I'd unlock the bootloader and flash a new ROM to be sure.
Register a Mi account and apply for bootloader unlocking. Doesn't matter if you're outside of China and use a non Chinese number and state your reason in English. Takes a few days.
I bought a Mi5, Max, and Redmi Pro then made three new accounts and unlocked each one within 4 days.
Most important is to probably make sure you're not on a vendor rom.
Also tinker the app notifications. Enable notification light, lock screen notification, floating etc.
You might also want to "lock" apps in the memory so they won't reload or stop after you switch apps. To do that press the menu button and swipe down to.the app you want to be locked in memory. Then press the lock key.

How?
Vendor ROMs
Most Xiaomi devices that are bought through unofficial channels (grey market) come with this type of ROM. It has multiple languages and Google Play Store, but often also adware and bloatware, which are annoying and slow the phone down. This ROM is also buggy and unoptimised, so some things might not work (e.g. battery showing negative percentage or the rear LED not working at all), you might encounter issues and inconsistencies (e.g. freezing, lagging) and because of these attributes it is not safe to use. You can get rid of this ROM by flashing another ROM, usually via MiFlash. If your bootloader is locked, you can only flash official ROMs and only via EDL mode (see here).
Spotting a vendor ROM
It has system languages available other than Chinese and English
It has Google Play Store
Below Settings > About phone, MIUI version is fake (e.g. V7.00.99.00, V7.0.7.0.0 or 7.91.8.0) and the letter code afterwards has 'CN' or 'CL' in it
So what are the steps necessary to get this onto the latest stable official miui rom?
First thing you want to do is to get rid of the vendor ROM on your phone. En.miui.com has some tutorials on how to do it.

I have the exact same phone model (Mi Max Pro 3GB RAM, 64GB ROM) and the exact same
ROM: MIUI 7.3.14.0.0 Global as you have. Got my phone from a Chinese ebay vendor with very good
to excellent reviews.
Been using this 'unofficial vendor ROM' for quite sometime now and in fairness to whoever made the 'custom'
vendor ROM (I believe it is derived from the official global ROM of the 32GB Mi Max), the vendor ROM is very stable
and working very well for me. No reboots, forced closes/crashes or major problems with any of my 130+ apps:
Google apps (Gmail, playstore, newsstand, etc.), 10+ paid apps and 100+ free apps. The good thing about the ROM
is it has ZERO Chinese characters or apps in it. Just choose 'English' as default language and you're good to go.
I have decided to wait for the OFFICIAL global rom for the Mi Max Pro 64GB since the official Chinese ROM is
no good - it doesn't have playstore installed and installing playstore from third party sites is just as risky and tricky as having
a vendor/custom rom in the first place since you will be sideloading the playstore app, play services (and other supporting apps)
anyway. If you don't understand Chinese, how can you trust the sources of those sideloaded playstore apps? I'd rather
trust my vendor ROM as it comes from a seller with very good ebay rating (they care a lot about positive and negative feedback).
A Mi Max phone from a vendor selling the phone with malware and adware infested ROM will be bombarded with negative feedback.
Besides, I have not noticed any malicious apps, unusual ads or bloatware on this vendor ROM (MIUI 7.3.14.0.0) and
I trust it is the best option for me until such time the OFFICIAL global ROM for MI MAX PRO 64GB is released.
If you decide to go official, download the Chinese ROM but don't install playstore. Installing it from dubious sources
can introduce bloatware and malicious apps as well if you are not familiar with the Chinese app market or don't understand
a single Chinese character.

You can still install Google services apk's from legit sites like apk mirror if you want to stay on the China ROM. Or check out xiaomi.eu's ROM.

EDL mode (Emergency Download Mode) allows to bypass the locked bootloader, but xiaomi can disable this edl mode with a simple update (e.g. mi5 since MIUI 7.3.x.x )
with bootloader unlocked your phone is totally open

Honestly I think you have a greater shot at bricking your phone after flashing a custom rom if it's locked. Or flashing the wrong firmware from a different model. I didn't have to do a battery pull after I flashed the wrong firmware on my Helium when I first got it. It's probably because I was already unlocked. I don't know why anyone here wouldn't wanna unlock.

I tried to add a card to my Android Pay and got this message: Android Pay can't be used on this device. I didn't rood my Mix 2 nor use custom ROM. Perhaps, Xiaomi made bootloader unlocked?
I was able to run it and add and verify my cards, but I never used it at POS.

I think in stock there is an areas under more settings that will tell you if you have an unlocked bootloader. You are probably better off going to the EU ROM anyways.

If you can add and verify cards, that mean yours is working. I can run the app but not able to add cards. I just found out my bootloader is unlocked. Can you see if your's is locked or unlock?

In the NFC/secure element settings, are you using HCE? If it's using embedded secure element it definitely won't work...but with HCE you may have better luck.
Also...not sure if it matters but make sure the battery optimization is off for all the Google apps and that autostart is allowed maybe?
Just tried it at whole foods. Works

My device seems to be Europe due to the default OS that came with the device, I have never unlocked the bootloader or done changes to the ROM, however I'd like to move to Global because it's said to have differences among the EUROPE version? If so, how and if I can move to the global version?

Words of advise, just do not attempt to do anything without UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER FIRST!!
You simply cannot switch regions before taking that first preliminary step.
That's the way it goes.

I asked the same question, because i am on the global euro firmware, and my phone is not detecting my NAVIGO transit card through NFC. I was wondering if the global international was better regarding this matter.
I've moved from EEA to GLOBAL with Xiaomitool 2, it changes my firmware to 11.0.2 GLOBAL without unlocking the bootloader, and then I manually push the full upgrade through the update app. Then I restore my phone for a full restoration.
Working smooth without issues.

When I am unsure what the real differences are because I think HW is the same for both Global and Eu phones, I am pretty sure Laws regarding privacy of users are more strict in EU and there are probably some alteration of bundled software to abide with them.
Those privacy laws are the main reason why neither of those Roms have default MIUI dialer + recording and Messaging, because Xiaomi collects quite a lot of data. Not saying Google does not, but they already had to abide with those Rules and Regulations, so was probably way easier to bundle default android apps, rather than patching their own apps and doing so ending up having 2 versions of the same app.
Besides that, I am pretty curious too what really are the difference between EEA and Global versions with same number. Of course if we compare two different versions of MIUI, we will always find something different.
I am not sure where we can find an official info.
UPDATE:
As I was suspecting looks like main differences are related to ads and how/what datas can be collected or not.
From this post here where users were speaking about it too, differences seems to be summarized to those main differences:
EEA is a Global Rom specially designed for Europe - which basically is just saying they are taking GDPR seriously. You won't get ads and you will need to accept a prompt on every instance where they would collect data (unlike standard Global one).
Global ROM:
This is the official worldwide ROM for all countries except China
The Global ROM has also a Beta Program
The Global ROM receives updates every 1 to 2 months
EEA ROM:
This ROM was specifically designed for EU countries
During the first setup, one can disable all ads inside Mi Apps globally, whereas in the Global ROM, one needs to do that in the Apps themselves
The EEA ROM doesn't have a Beta program
Updates seem to be slower

Use xiaomitool v2 to change from EEA to global stable.
Just search it at xda forum, download it, and follow the instruction o both screen, PC and phone.
I had change the rom without unlocking the bootloader, no problems at all. But do it with your own responsability. I made it following the instructions from the forum of the Xiaomi Mi 9, that someone make it without unlocking bootloader. So I think than on ours phone, it was the same thing.
I delete my gmail account and the rest of account, then I follow the instruction. Clickin on My phone works correctly and i want to mod it, when Xiaomitool v2 ask me what i want to do. Then, click on global, the program itself download global rom 11.0.2 and then install via fastboot. Then i initialised the phone, put the full update global 11.0.6 zip in the phone storage, then go to update app, touch ten times miui 11 logo, and then, tap on the tree dots, manual upgrade, select the update zip. The phone installa the update and you will get your Redmi Note 8 Pro EEA 11.0.3 rom moved to Redmi Note 8 Pro GLOBAL 11.0.6.

Personally after I have debloated the phone using Saki tools (I was not aware of that 'option' to disable ads within the settings) I dont get those MIUI ads everywhere. Of course that does not remove the 'Free' applications ads from the 3rd party application you may install (freemium games and such). Adaway might deal with those, or patch of culprit app with Luckpatcher or such. Or just dont install Adware apps.
I also did not really read what was asked of me when I first started the phone, but as a general rule I answer NO to every thing
For example an other girl friend of mine, who has no computer skills and just started the phone out of the box gets ads everywhere.
An other example the MIUI app installer, which I thought was essential to run the OS, adds ads for every apk installation. You get rid of that, you fall back on regular android stock installer and it has no ads.
Basically all MIUI apps shipped with the phone en EEA has ads. So if you have no use for them, get rid off them.
Once you have removed/disabled all of those, you'll get considerably less ads showing for sure
Hope this helps.

Mi A3 Global : DO NOT UPDATE!
V11.0.3.0.QFQMXTC (not QFQMIXM one) is rolling out to the Mi A3 global users.
There was a serious bug in the latest update, so DO NOT UPDATE!!
#WARNING #ALERT #READ
This a warning to everyone who's using the stock ROM here: do NOT update your device to the latest build that shipped via OTA.
Apparently Xiaomeme has rolled out an incorrect build for our device. After flashing, it splashes "Telcel" logo (which is a Mexican carrier), and only SIM1 seems to work post update. If you see any updates, just ignore and do NOT flash.
Thank you! I was updating when I read your warning, now I have a paused update. Thinking about doing a factory reset to get rid of that. I'm starting to be seriously tired of these mistakes and faulty updates...
Thank you again for your advice.
That's why I switched to EU. As Xiaomi releases EU updates after global channel, these kind of mistakes are less likely to happen with EU builds.
What can I Do if i installed the Update?
Do you think xiaomi can fix it with a Update?
Can I block it somehow if the notification "Installation pending" is coming?

You probably don't realize the irony in that - "mocking" Xiaomi for stock Android and at the same time be proud in using their heavily modified Android OS (MIUI).

am not proud to use it, but its better to use it instead of using Xiaomeme so called stock rom that is full of bugs. actually that's not a rom they are providing, they are giving a lot of bugs with a small amount of rom ??
Well, wife already updated (we both have the A3). We're still locked (bootloader's), and I see Xiaomi is "WORKING FEVERISHLY" to rectify (Ha!).
My question is, is the consensus here of a hard/factory reset would correct this?

Hard reset will hardly help, the issue is related to incorrect ROM. You can either unlock bootloader (this will do a factory reset), flash the right ROM and relock the bootloader. Or just wait for the fix from Xiaomi, they will hopefully release it shortly.
Fix Update is there for those who get the wrong firmware.

It is fixed now with a new update... Stupid mistake on Xiaomi's part but at least they are quick to fix it.
Didn't received the bugued update but today I received the fixed update announcing the fix of dual sim bug.

I installed it, but in my hurry, forgot the Magisk step before rebooting.
Anyone got patched V11.0.17.0.QFQMIXM?
Background Info -
I purchased my 16GB x 512GB Mi MIX Fold from a reputable supplier on Alibaba. It was claimed that he was capable of making it have a "Global" ROM (a 5 - 7 day process is how long it took him). All Google services and apps were preloaded, just like my first Xiaomi Global phone I purchased 1.5 years ago. As well as only some of the Xiaomi Global apps. Now that I have the phone, I am running into a fair bit of issues (in this post I am only focusing on one). I did bring these all up to the supplier (of course including updating the ROM issues), all without much help. All he gave me was he said the ROM on my phone is actually the EEA version that was modified, and of I need any updates, go on www.xiaomi.eu. So not much help, because come to find out, they don't support the Mi MIX Fold and that there is no ROMs available. Including the current ROM my phone has right now - V12.0.11.0.RJTCNXM ("Global").
What is nice about my phone is that all the system apps are the Global versions. But what's not so great is the System Apps Updater does not work at all. It shows there are update(s) available for my Global apps, but when I update them, they are indefinitely suck at "Connecting 0%". I also tried Xiaomi's "Get Apps" while switching my Region to "India", it too showed updates, and would not update them no matter what I tried. So, I search online for each individual system app, and update each manually (yes, the whole process is a pain).
So Where I Need Some Help (The Purpose Of This Post...Updating the ROM) -
So, I am in the process of trying to update my phone's ROM, to get the best MIUI has to offer for the Mi MIX Fold. I have searched all over the internet and the only ROMs I can find are "China" versions.
My current ROM version is V12.0.11.0.RJTCNXM ("Global"). I know the most up to date ROM is V12.0.21.0.RJTCNXM (but it's the "China" version). I would like to have the current ROM, but I have a strong feeling that I will loose all functionality of all my Global system apps. The Xiaomi Updater app unfortunately does not work at all. When checking for an update, it says "No updates available". When tapping "Download latest package", it says "Can't download update...Wait a minute or two and try again". When I tap "What's new", it says "You don't have permission to access the update log...". Please see screenshots for all of this. I even tried to update it another traditional Xiaomi way by using Mi PC Suite, which it couldn't even detect my phone when connected. So that doesn't work either.
So my attempts are as follows (at least 20 attempts). I downloaded every Stable Recovery ROM version as listed in the XDA Mi MIX forum titles "MIUI Updates Tracker (Mi MIX Fold)" I also downloaded every ROM version from a couple other sources. I tried to update the ROM (from the newest version to the oldest) using the Xiaomi Updater app through Recovery Mode. Every time it failed saying "Current version is invalid. You can only flash the latest stable ROM", or "Can't verify update...Can't install official ROM". So then I downloaded the ROMs directly from mirror links to Xiaomi's server. I did the same update procedure, they all failed. Does that mean I have to do it via Fastboot?
Last Thoughts -
I included some screenshots showing what the ROM is on my phone (and the outdated Android security update), and what message comes up with each update attempt.
Could you guys point me in the right direction and help me figure out how I can update my Mi MIX Fold to the most current ROM, preferably the EEA version (if possible), since there really is no such thing as a Global version? I would be extremely appreciative if someone can shed some light!
Hi my suggestions is to backup your data firstly from there download the latest fastboot stable of the rom. From there before anything make sure oem unlocked is there inside your phone if not you need to wait 167 hours to fastboot flash the rom. Guides of unlocking is online you can search for that. After that, download the miflash.exe file, that can also be found online and from there flash it with it to the latest Rom . Hope that helps. If you are still unsure , you can always search online of "Flashing with fastboot xiaomi Rom"

Thank you very much for your response!
OK, so it looks like I will have no choice but to get rid of the custom "Global" ROM for the China version. I do wonder though if I am going to lose out on anything as far as the Global system apps (but won't update, unless manually), or all the Google apps & services, or anything else. There of course are many benefits switching to the China ROM.
I'm just a little reluctant because of it being a China ROM being used on a phone in the US. And having features that only work in China and is not optimized for the Global market. As well as features usually found on a Global Xiaomi phone, would be missing or can't work at all. Maybe I am overthinking it all. Another concern is if the China ROM would have English as a language that can be choses. I assume so, but it would be a plus to know 100% before I make the plunge.
Only if I could play around with a Mi MIX Fold with a fresh install of the China ROM. See how different it really is compared to what I currently have. See what it comes with (apps & all) & what is or isn't compatible. My previous, & only Xiaomi phone, was the Global version of the Mi Note 10 Pro. So I have, I guess you can call it, a Xiaomi Global mindset. My Mi MIX Fold is my daily driver, I can't play too much around. Also if I do flash it with China ROM, I can't revert it back to the ROM it has now, since it seems to be custom. Unless I can somehow backup absolute everything, ROM and all.
I know this is a simple question, but what and how is the very best method to back everything up? To not only make sure no data is lost, but also to make the whole process faster when restoring everything.
Do you have any other suggestions or advice? I would appreciate it!
The custom global rom is not official and you will never get update.
I recommend you to mi flash the chines rom, but you will lose everything.
Google will be available the chines ROM.
bom Dia, como consigo essa rom global?
Obrigado

Hey Anas,
Since you tried both Roms, which one would you recommend?
For UAE, does VoLTE work?
