Hi all, I purchased the redmi 3 when it first came out for the gf. Still going strong, great phone for her.
When I got it it didn't have a global ROM, so I unlocked the boat loader officially and then installed the xiaomi 'global' ROM as an interim
Time has passed and I never got round to switching her to official, which of course is now a new android version ahead.
What's the most painless way of switching her?
If I was to put the official one as a zip file on the phone, could I update using the updater app? Would it lose all her apps and settings?
Any advice / first hand experience welcome. thanks

Hello,
I have received of this particular Redmi Note 3 Pro Prime Special Edition (3GB Ram one).
It comes with MIUI Global 7.3 Stable 7.3.7.0 (MHRMIDE).
Now I see there are so many different guides and version and I would like to confirm before proceeding.
Essentially I want to unlock the bootloader and install custom roms (CM).
What is the best way to proceed?
Install Developer Edition (miui_HMNote3ProtwGlobal_6.9.29_f35a25dd3f_6.0) downloaded from http://en.miui.com/a-232.html ?
I am planning to do it via Updater application from the phone.
Have made a request via website for unlocking the bootloader. Anything else I need to do?
Thanks
Almost everything same with kenzo (RMN3 Snapdragon).

make sure you are signed into both i.mi.com and your phone using the exact same credentials.
I've unlocked mine probably a dozen times now, with some rom's locking and me reflashing over and over again. No issues, never got stuck at 50%. I've only ever used my email account to link to Mi account, never my phone number.
Hello guys,
switching over from iOS I actually looking for a good custom ROM to use with my Redmi Note 4 MTK version.
Since I'm new to the whole Android universe I would like to have some advice regarding the ROMS.
Or should I stay with the stock ROM and just update/upgrade it to the newest version?
Any help is much appreciated, thank you all in advance.
If you don't need Root, or Jailbreak called on iOS, than you will probabl stick to stable official ROMs. Also, you need unlocked bootloader in order to install most of the Custom Roms. There are few little more optimized Custom ROMs with some customizations, but it's not a big difference from Global Stable rom. And, you should'v bought the Snapdragon version of Redmi Note 4. Personally i have the MTK, but i bought it when it was out last year. I'm satisfied, but the battery is not even close to a Snapdragon version, MTK beats the SD one only in pefromance but for the cost of battery.
Yeah this was told me in another thread too.
Next time I guess.
Which source I should use for the ROM? Is that one with the MIUI or how it is called?
I also got permission to and unlocked my phone already.
Hello everyone,
So i've been a xiaomi redmi 3 user for a few months now, no problems whatsoever.
I flashed lieage 14.1 rom when i got the phone, been satisfied, then like a week ago i flashed the 'pixel experience' rom... Now i would like to swith to the official miui rom but i dont have access to a computer. Is there any way to flash the official firmware without a pc ? I obviously have an unlocked bootloader and latest twrp...
If you came across a miui debloated rom, please tell me, i'd like to give it a try
Thanks in advance
Hi!
Before attempting anything I wanted to ask this here:
I have a non-rooted, completely stock Mi Pad 4 bought from Gearbest. It is the international version (Model name: M1806D9W) that came with Google Apps, already with english language, etc. It currently runs MIUI Global 9.6 | Stable 9.6.7.0.0(ODJCNFD) (Android 8.1.0 OPM1.171019.019)
I read online that MIUI 10 should be available for global versions which I think mine is? But yet system updates tell me there are no updates available.
So here's my question: What is the simplest most straightforward way to upgrade to MIUI 10?
I see I can download ROMs from threads here and other places online but I want to make 100% sure of which one should I get.
Bonus question: Any way of backuping everything so I don't have to re-install, reconfigure, re-place my apps icons, etc?
Thanks so much!
pretty sure the international version that your reseller claim is false.. there are no international version now.. they probably loaded an "international modified" rom .. highly recommend you to flash xiaomi EU rom already comes with prebuilt playstore if you ur bootloader is already unlocked. if not, flash official chinese miui 10 rom and they are many guides to get playstore on chinese rom as well.

Ok I see! So once I upgrade to MIUI 10 I will have OTA updates then?
This is the one I need right? https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-pad-4/how-to/rom-miui-10-xiaomi-eu-links-t3864882
Also is there any way of restoring my apps, settings, etc like it is on MIUI 9 right now? OR will I really need to start all over again?
EDIT: I don't believe my Mi Pad 4 is rooted. This seems like good instructions on how to root it and flash a new rom? https://en.miui.com/thread-3196420-1-1.html
Thanks so much!
i just flashed my mi pad 4 . It had the same rom, just modified rom to include the playstore,
The bootloader is already unlocked.
just boot to fast boot. volume key + power
flash twrp - i used twrp installer bat from here en.miui.com/thread-3196420-1-1.html
once boots twrp, then flash miui 10 - androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=281632
job done.

yeah the link is correct, with xiaomi Eu rom you can still get official updates, maybe just slight delay from official chinese stream. but that's the best support we have so far for international miui roms now. the check update seems to be quite buggy on xiaomi eu rom, sometime it downloads but fails on completion.. just try again.. 2nd try is the charm as always haha. if not you can download the rom and dirty flash no problem, i was on beta previously so maybe thats why.
highly recommend you to start from fresh.. migrating over apps may result in bug occurrence.
Hi everyone,
I have a Xiaomi Redmi note 6 (Tulip).
Fews month ago I installed a custom ROM (as usual with all my phones) It has fews bug and now I tried to updated but this is failing big time
and my phone is inoperable at the moment :/
Apparently Xiaomi are not the most convenient to install custom ROM.
So did you have any recommendations of phones who are easy to install custom ROM ?
Or maybe phone sell with preinstalled ROM (without GAPPS !!!!)
Thank you.
If a Custom ROM at 100% matches the phone it should get installed on, then you'll never run into troubles. That's true for all phones available on the market.
Just to let you know that I fixed my problem
but meanwhile I discover this -> https://e.foundation great initiative !
