Anyone know anything about when the global release could be, seems like latest is could be would be 8th december (new york launch event), been waiting impatiently for a long time for this phone to come out, and i have 2 options.... wait for the global release with the official global ROM, or import from china and flash the global ROM when its released (and lose any functionality that flashing a ROM or xiaomi devices causes).
There isn't any official word on when the global release will be. Only that there will be one. I'm new to Xiaomi so I'm not sure how long it usually takes for them to release a global version after the Chinese one
You guys think it's best to wait for the new Mi Mix 3 ? Maybe the battery will be bigger and have an in-display fingerprint ? As it is right now, I personally like the Honor Magic 2 better but it looks like you can't unlock the bootloader on the Honor (or you have to pay ).

It's very simply. I changed my Nexus 5 because security patch wasn't update. And now, my smartphone is not update again, while a lot of phones are very very supported. I choose Xiaomi because release a lot of update and it take care of his smartphones, but this is not happening with Mi 5s. Last update was released in December. I thinks is not too strange if i'm feeling a bit messed around. They promise this update from some months

Imagine:
- You buy phone in December 2016.
- You receive Global ROM about that time, you feel happy.
- You see every month China users get new stable versions, you don't.
- Around February you lost opportunity to unlock bootloader, because you need MIUI 8.1 or above. Your ROM from December is 8.0.
- Month ago Xiaomi release Global 8.2, everybody was happy, they can unlock bootloader, but after a week ROM is deleted from Download section on official site and from OTA update.
- Week ago Xiaomi promise give you first global dev release. Yay we will be able again to unlock bootloader. And they have delay...
epilogue
- Xiaomi start release closed beta Android 7 builds for mi5s. History show us that this model for Xiaomi is ************. Global version is... I have no words.
I know that there are ways to unlock bootloader etc. But official way right now don't work for Global Stable users. This phone have almost a year and stlii no working official solution.

There are so many devices from Mi, they can't work normally. And you can almost always find 2 devices from Mi with same parameters

According to the flashing guide given with the link, you can. Just have to download the file and put it inside the updater folder.

About 2 weeks and coming out ! I testing the 7.5.15 android 7.0 global beta build and it's much fast than miui 8.3 6.0.1! New fonts it's very awesome !.
Ppl,
Got the 6/128gb model, within a week I'll be able to unlock BL, I'd like to have everything in place. So for the mm3 owners who are ahead of me and have been successfully flashing away.
Can I ask from this version, what global rom or the xiaomi.eu rom should I be going for?
Is 9.6.12 too high, am I too wait? Is there a stable global yet?
(yes I've searched and read lots)
Just don't need a brick method. Nothing seems to be concrete
9.6.12.CN is ARB, Anti Rollback. So if I have understood this correctly, you are stuck with ARB versions from now on.
I am in the same state as you, and is waiting for my B.L. unlock.
What we can flash is any ARB version (afaik).
9.6.12 CN and after.
9.6.8 Global and after (need Unlocked BL to switch from CN) 9.6.8 Global is not released yet.
MIUI 10 versions with ARB
Or Xiaomi.eu on top of Chinese ROM.

Glad I'm not alone lol, I doubt it's just us... After coming from a Op5t rooted and custom rom, I just want this phone all singing and dancing with the latest mods. The pixel 3 rom I had on my op was the best ever. Just here loving the battery and screen size of this monster.
And yes I understand the ARB, looks like we will just have to be patient.
No, ur not alone hehehe, but im not a patient guy, so while i wait i got the Honor note 10 and Honor 8X max, and they just rules, especially note 10 indeed, they was just plugn play even its the Chinese versions, they are totally like global versions.
But still dream of the day where i hopefully can use my mm3 where it rocks 100% and are stable...
I really dont want to spend half of my life to get a totally new phone to work prober.
I'm glad to hear that Xiaomi are opening up their 1st UK store in London and it's 5mins from where I work, I'll be straight in there to buy a phone on opening day hopefully. Fingers crossed they'll have stock.
Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Android 9 Pie update :
Android 9 Pie update expected in Q1 2019
Beta version may roll out before the end of 2018
As already pointed out, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite comes preinstalled with Oreo 8.1 and thus is entitled to an update to Android 9 Pie, probably the one and only OS upgrade the device will ever see. Xiaomi hasn’t said it publicly, but we expect a beta version to roll out before the end of 2018 followed by a stable released later in Q1 2019.
Of course, the stable Pie update will have MIUI 10 running on top.
Hello,
Global beta ROM is now officialy available, according to this article the beta version 8.12.13 is under android pie https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-8-lite-android-pie-beta-china/?nocache=1
Even if it says that you need bootloader unlocked, I checked on the official website and saw it was available as a global version, here's the link http://en.miui.com/download-346.html#552 (and if you want, here's the changelog http://en.miui.com/thread-4885974-1-1.html)
Since I only have my mi 8 lite in a few days (tomorrow hopefully), I could not test it myself, if nobody does before I'll confirm as soon as possible
Tell me if I'm making any mistake
Have a nice day

Hi everyone,
I bought this phone two weeks ago and it came with 10.2.2.0 global firmware installed. The software version is a bit "outdated", it has few bugs and it's missing various features from china stable and even EEA firmware. Ok, minor stuff but it still pisses me off that the software isn't up-to-date like the others. So, since I can still return it and get a full refund, I was thinking about giving it back and take the 128GB EEA version, almost for the same price, due to the latest price drop. What do you guys think? The only concern I have is the possibility that EEA version could be less followed in the future.
You can install EEA firmware on your device if you think it might be better. I believe the reason global rom is slightly behind eu rom is because they were working on the developer rom which is now released, that developer rom is way ahead of any stable rom in terms of features, you won't see them in stable rom for 2-3 months.
The reason I'm still on global stable is related to retailer warranty. I would like to avoid any software problem that could compromise the warranty by flashing other stuff, otherwise I would be using miui.it rom already, or xiaomi.eu. Also, why focusing so much on global beta if the beta-program is going to stop on july first?

I have a feeling they will end up continuing the beta rom for the devices which will still be receiving the chinese beta (devices under 1 year old and no redmi devices) however they said all devices will not get it due to majority of forum users having old/redmi phones, there would be more uproar from these users if their devices were singled out. Otherwise I don't see why they would bother releasing the first mi9 se beta rom now.
That's a realistic scenario, I guess we will have the answer in 3-4 weeks.
What is the actual difference and benefit for running EEA (besides it being an european version) vs Global?
It seems like global is now ahead, but it will always be changing. Just looking for what's best
Hi.
I also have an Mi 9 SE with "just" Global ROM 10.2.2.0. What's the way to flash it to Global EEA?
TNX
I was under the impression that the Global ROM is more up to date than the EEA version? Mine has the May security patch and seems to work well.
My phone works with quirks.
Randomly, but always, turning on camera when in pocket. Phone is locked with FP+Pattern...
Hi all,
I am a big fan of Miui, and since 2012 i am using Xiaomi devices. Currently I'm having Mi 11 Lite 4g Indian version. Even though Global, EEA, Indonesia versions got Miui 14 for Mi 11 Lite, Indian version didn't. What matters is it is not listed in Miui India official release schedule. What may be the reason?? Won't we get Miui 14 in India for Courbet??
This question is better suited for Xiaomi forums, and even then I'm not sure you'd be able to get the answer you seek since virtually all people there don't work for the firm (i.e., they know what you know and have access to the information you do).
Either way, release schedules are orientative, take them with a grain of salt, Xiaomi's software support isn't on par with some others' to be honest; there are even differences in upstream Android versions between devices released in China and their international equivalents, much more when it comes to MIUI features.
In any case, I wouldn't be surprised if MIUI 14 were released for the Indian variant at a later date, and if you are comfortable running it with an unlocked bootloader, you can unlock it and flash a Global release, for example.
