Does EU rom support OTA? - Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers

Hello, i am new to Xiaomi phones.
I will recieve my Redmi 3s in few days and i was wondering which rom to flash when i get it?
My girlfriend will use the phone so i cant mess around with it after i give it to her. If i install Stable EU version, will she recieve OTA updates?
i live in EU
Any other suggestions?

First of all: this is not Redmi 3S forum. I think Global Stable will be the best. It has OTA updates and multiple languages.

Official Global ROM for REDMI 3?

Hello,
I got this amazing phone about a month ago. Since then I am stuck with MIUI 7.1.3.0 (EU version) and no updates. I really thought that Xiaomi are good at ROM support, but I can only see they update the Chinese version. Will they ever release updated global version of 7.2?
I even doubt that they will release Android 6.0 on Redmi 3. What do you think?
you will get a miui with 6.0 , don't worry
just don't wait this to happen soon
first they will update the flagships (mi4/mi5/mi note) then the redmi's phones
if you want regular (every week) updates then you must have a dev rom , this rom updates every week , the stable , obviously, needs more time
Your MIUI 7.1.3.0 (EU version) is not official ROM, your seller just flashed some custom build for you. Xiaomi has not released Global ROM for Redmi 3 at all. And when Xiaomi will release Global ROM you will need to flash it manually, it wont get OTA update since your current ROM is not official.

I bought it from HonorBuy. But this is not the cheapest place you can find it. I chose it because they ship from EU and there is no bothering with customs.
Sorry for answering after a month

Xiaomi redmi note 3 SD version running on China from won't do OTA update

Hi a while ago I've imported a redmi note 3 pro from China to Canada. Everything else is working fine but I've had this for a month already and the updater app tells me that I have no new OTA updates which is rather weird, since we're supposed to get miui updates very often. Do u guys know why it's happening? Is it die to a locked bootloader or the wifi here in Canada doesn't work well with the Chinese servers? By the way I also tried to flash a ROM from the miui website for this device but it didn't work either so please help
What's your firmware version? You might have a reseller firmware, in that case you would have to flash the fastboot rom

So security update to 01-02-2020 will be coming soon.
Hi
Was this an OTA update?
Would 9t be the same as the k20 pro?

The 1.1.0.3. version MI11 Android 10 with security patch date 01-10-2019 was an official OTA update from Miui10 to Miui11 Android 10.

Thanks for replying. My phone is sitting at 11.0.1, and I am not picking up a OTA update. What could be the reason?

You're probably on the MIUI global rom that's (for now) 'stuck' at 11.0.1. Whereas the op is probably on MIUI's EU/EEA rom that's 'already' on 11.0.3.

Thanks. I am indeed on the global Rom. What are the differences?
Sent from my Redmi K20 Pro using Tapatalk
I honestly have no idea. I used both and I only noticed 2 differences:
1. The global rom says LTE in the statusbar and the EEA/EU rom says 4G
2. Swiping up from the home screen with stock launcher opens up xiaomi browser on the EEA rom and Google search on the global rom.
I googled a bit but haven't found no official statement from Xiaomi. Some people say there's no ads on EEA but I honestly never had ads in MIUI wether it be global or EEA.
Other people say the EEA rom (finally) complies with the European GDPR which makes sense and also means that there's no access to the theme store. Tho the global rom already has no access to theme store if you set your region to the EU countries.
Both EEA and Global lack features like the ultra battery saving mode (for now), so I honestly don't think there's much of a difference, despite the version difference (11.0.3 and 11.0.1).
However there might be differences in update frequency but I haven't figured that one out yet. All I can tell is that the EEA rom received Miui 11 way faster/earlier.
Thanks so much for the super detailed response. Interestingly, so I believe, I'm on the global Rom and mine says 4g and 4g+
Not sure how related or unrelated it is but I am able to get Vowifi on my p20 Pro but nothing at all on my xiaomi [emoji24]

The Global EU Rom has to comply to the EU law for privacy protection and uses for example the Android Phone interface.
The eventual Ad's that can be shown is completely dependable of the users choice and you must allow or refuse it during setup and when already setup you can revoke you choice of showing them and switch them off.
The update for global finally arrived. 11.0.3

You can see what version you're running when you hit the ''My device'' section in settings and take a look at the exact MIUI version.
For example mine (global) says ''11.0.1.0(QFKMIXM)'' whereas the EEA/EU rom says ''11.0.3.0(QFKEUXM)'' so you can basically tell the ROM version apart by the ''MI'' or ''EU''
Anybody already received the November security update for the Global EU?
On Global, not global EU
Sent from my Redmi K20 Pro using Tapatalk
On Global the November sec.update came with the update to Miui 11 and Android 10, unfortunately not for the EUXM Global.
Now it is waiting for that or the December security update although the January update is almost finished by Google now.

Who's suffering?
No! Better service for me and for all.
Today started new update 11.0.4.0 with bugfixes and december security update
Received the message on my device yesterday and went to the update checker.
It showed with a red dot that there was an update but after I checked manually it couldn't detect it anymore.
Strange.
Will try later today.
It's the same for the global version so this update might got pulled back.

Message on xiaomi site - authentication

Hello, i just bought Xioami mi pad 4 for 150eur in europe, i have been told that its from England.. I tried to verify authetification on xioami site, but it says
"Thank you for choosing Xiaomi!
However, the device you purchased is not an official global version and user experience may be affected. Next time, please purchase the official global version of the device through officially authorized channels."
Can anyone explain what this means? I heavily use tablet for 2 days, and everything is great. Just curious about message..
Also can someonw tell me if ita instaled last version of system?
Thanks in advance.
Mi Pad 4/Plus hasn't Global version. Only China version with xiaomi.eu like ROM.
Many China sellers use fake global MIUI as base system for sold devices. They unlock bootloader and install own rom. You can find some old posts about it and hints to replace this fake rom with any other custom rom or original MIUI. Maybe you have this rom in your tablet.
Xiaomi never offered this mi pad 4 official outside of China.

Question Hi. Where can I find a tutorial to flash roms on my Mi Pad 5 Pro Wifi ?

Good morning
I bought a Mi Pad 5 Pro Wifi version (without 5g) by ebay and it arrived with the bootloader unlocked and a global rom with my language (Spanish). I know it is not an official rom from Xiaomi. The problem is that it does not support OTA updates.
I would like to find some help about where I can find roms like the global one I have and instructions to flash it, or instructions to flash the CN version if needed, or Lineage OS .
Thank you very much for your help.
@radriarevlo Try this ROM. My device is Mi Pad 5 Pro 5G. I've flashed GSI ROMs but got many problems with hardware. So it's best for now to stick with Stock ROM which is CN version. With CN stock ROMs, I can still read and write in my local language by using Gboard. But the UI can be only Enlish or Chinese. No worry about Google Play Store. You can install it easily with GetApps that comes with the stock ROMs.
