which rom is the best for OTA?

my Mi5s arrived yesterday, system says i'm running MIUI 8.0 Global 8.0 Stable 8.0.3.0 (MAGMIDI) rom,
Is this the best rom for OTA?
Is this the latest official rom avaiable?
are there any better rom options based on MIUI which receives ota updates?
thank you in advance
Matteo
Official global rom's dont updating....now the latest version is China stable 8.2.5.0....but global stable is stayed in 8.0.3.0.....xiaomis not updating GLOBAL OFFICIAL ROM FOR MI5S....but now coming Global developer rom 7.5.18....it is good for ota....but if you dont want dev Rom...you can Root your mi5s and flash Xiaomi.eu rom....its unofficial Global Miui....and very good and stable for use....Xiaomi.eu is based on China Stable latest version but without Chinese content and with more Supported languages....
Except that Xiaomi.eu stopped their OTA support.

except as you're on 8.0.3 you're s**t out of luck - you can't update, you can't root because you can't unlock - unless you use a deep flash cable and MiFlash a different Miui ROM with OEM unlock status available.
then you can unlock, and flash any ROM

Maybe we could unlock bootloader on Global beta?

On the first attempt error occurred in 50%, so I uninstalled the driver and installed again, That's it!
Edit: I used the software from Xiaomi.
I'm using official global 8.2.1.0, is it possible to install the global dev 7.5.18 without error ?
I mean, I tried to do it using TWRP but, again, it got stuck during installation. I know it's possible with a fastboot version, but we don't have it.

About the note 5 ai

I bought note 5 ai china version the phone came with global ROM mui 9.5.5.0 oeimifa i noticed ihave an update available in ota
Mui 10.0.4.0 oeimifh
Is it safe to upgrade?
Yes. Why would you think otherwise? If its the anti-rollback thing, no need to worry (unless you go to roms prior to 9.5.19).
I was thinking that because my phone in Chinese version with global ROM maybe the update is only for real global version and will not work with mine
So the update will work fine ? Then I will download it ty
I bought this phone for custom ROMs my seller installe
d a fake rom ?it was just easier to flash TWRP and bootleggers 3.5 beta than using miflash to restore the official miui and on the plus side the bootloader was already unlocked

[Question] how to re-lock / locking bootloader of Mi MAX 3 with EU ROM?

hi All,
i have mi max 3 (not sure if it is china hardware or global hardware), currently running MIUI 10 by XIAOMI.EU V10.3.2 Stable (PEDCNXM).
bootlooader is unlocked, but not rooted.
there is a game that i cant run because of the unlocked bootloader, and i dont want to root or and use magisk.
i read to relock, we must be in official ROM and then use miFlash to flash a rom and tick something says lock.
my question: how can i know which rom is the official rom for my phone?
i found this http://c.mi.com//miuidownload/detail?device=1700351
is that the right one? how do i know if mine is china model hardware or global? i also read once we install eu rom into china phone we cant go back to official rom?
if that rom is the correct one, its a simple as just use miflash to flash that ROM , select clean and lock?
if i need china official rom, where is it and will i be able to install google app suite after that (and change language to english)?
thank you.
To check the version of Xiaomi products, if it is original etc. access the site https://www.mi.com/global/verify and inform the IMEI of the cell phone.
Another thing, you should only block the bootloader if you are sure that the rom installed is the original one on the phone. if your xiaomi is chinese version the rom installed must be chinese otherwise you will screw with your phone. It will become paperweight!

MIUI version unknown

Hi guys,
I've bought a Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite 5G, supposaly global edition, that has MIUI 12.5.3.0 installed.
My phone is the model M2007J17G and MIUI version says it is MIUI Global Stable 12.5.3.0(RJSEUVF)
I've tried to update using recovery roms from Global and Europe without any success, the message it appears is that is not a valid ROM.
Can you help me please understand what ROM my phone has installed?
Best regards
Sounds like Vodafone version, not sure if it's possible to switch to global/eu rom without bootloader unlocking.

Question How to update to 12.5.9 ?

Hello,
My lisa came with 12.5.5 out of the box. OTA offers direct to 13.0.2. Is there anyway I can upgrade to 12.5.9 ? I don't want to upgrade to A12 atm, or anytime soon really.
Indian firware if that matters.
I see xiaomi.eu has a version of 12.5.9 which is no longer updated, but lisa isn't listed on the compatible device list.
Thanks
BB

First of all, some basics (not sure are you aware of):
1) If your phone came with Indian, you can update but only to Indian firmware without unlocking your Bootloader:
Install MIUI Recovery ROM using Stock Recovery and Updater App
Has your Xiaomi phone received a new MIUI update? Then follow this guide to easily install MIUI Recovery ROM using stock recovery and Updater app on Xiaomi devices. Any smartphone user prefers getting…
www.thecustomdroid.com
In that case you will need to download the so-called Recovery or ZIP stock firmware and use the installation as above
2) For anything else, like switching from Indian to Global or EEA (or to Russian or Chinese) - they are all stock ROMs, or switching to Xiaomi.eu - that is not stock ROM, or any other custom (ie, not stock) ROM, you would first have to unlock Bootloader
AFAIK, Xiaomi.eu has no 12.5 for Lisa, only 13.0 - hence not applicable if you insist on 12.5
To switch from Indian to Global or EEA (still stock ROMs), you will need the unlocked Bootloader, the so-called Fastboot or TGZ firmware (and MiFlash tool):
How to Flash Fastboot ROMs on Xiaomi? - xiaomiui
If you are a Xiaomi user and have installed custom ROMs on your device, then you might be wondering how to flash fastboot ROMs on Xiaomi devices. This article
xiaomiui.net

I don't know where do you see 12.5.9 for Lisa - I had 12.5.8 EEA) , but there should be not much difference
Anyway, install the following app and you can check which versions are available for Lisa (for stock Global, EEA, Indian, etc) or custom Xiaomi.eu:
MIUI Downloader - Apps on Google Play
MIUI upgrade app for Mi users.
play.google.com
It shows the Latest but click on Older and you will see all the previously released (stable) versions.
Btw, under Indian, I don't find 12.5.9, neither under Global or EEA (under Global there are eg 12.5.11 and 12.5.14)
From the app, you can also choose and download Recovery (zip) or Fastboot (tgz) stock ROM for the wanted version - depending on your flashing method as above
thank you very much. I did request to unlock the bootloader in the mi unlock app, but all the custom A11 roms stopped development or moved onto A12, so I didn't see much point in unlocking bootloader.
as i understand, if i am on the indian firmware, i can flash the indian rom without BL unlock. but if BL is unlocked, do i need to switch firmware as well to install say the Global ROM ?
about 12.5.9, i mistook it as the last version before they moved to 13. sorry about that.

When you unlock Bootloader it does not prevent you to update India ROM by stock Recovery method
It just gives you the additional option to switch eg to Global by flashing Fastboot/tgz ROM
Its like, you can always go by foot, but if you have a car, you have the additional option to go by car
Please take your time, Google, read to acquire further knowledge and know-how.
There are tons of guides here on XDA, on the Net, Google videos, etc
