I'm currently in Version of MIUI 8.0.4.0 Global (MBFMIDG) And i want to update to MIUI 8.1.4.0 MBFMIDI. Hopefully its enough so you can help me
You can update to the latest MIUI version 8.2.4.0 MCFMIDL.
Download is here available: h++p://en.miui.com/thread-508000-1-1.html
And here is a short tutorial, use recovery method: h++p://en.miui.com/thread-307744-1-1.html
Is this for Redmi Note 4 (GLOBAL MTK Version)?
I'm sorry! No this version is for Note 4X Qualcomm.
But just download MIUI 8.1.4.0 MBFMIDI version, the update process is the same!
Yea i know, But the thing I'm scared to update with fastboot and recovery and my Bootloader isn't unlocked so i have no idea what i'm doing,
You could try to update version 8.1.7.0.MBFMIDI via updater app. Perhaps this fixes your issue.
Download: h++p://en.miui.com/download-309.html#455
Well that's nice they pushed out a new update today.....
Updating right now, Hopefully it fixes most of the bugs in 8.0.4.0

Hi guys,
I'm from India, and I have the Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon 650 variant. I have successfully unlocked my bootloader via the official process using MiFlashUnlock tool. I am on MIUI Global Stable 7.3.2.0.
Now that I have unlocked my bootloader, I want to root my device, and I had a few questions.
1. What's the method of rooting. I read that I need to install TWRP. A link to the latest updated guide would be much appreciated.
2. After rooting, will I be able to get proper regular updates? If yes, will it unroot my device after the update? If yes, then what do I do?
All in all, I am looking to root my RN3 and keep getting proper OTA updates and still retain my root access.
Any help in this regards would be highly appreciated.
Thanx a lot in advance. Desperately waiting for a reply
Edit: The main reason for creating this thread is coz there is a lot of confusion right now as there are various methods to root RN3 and then there is a different way to do it if you've unlocked your bootloader UNOFFICIALLY.
With all this chaos, I just wanna know what's the correct procedure for me
+1 good question, i also want to know, see complete guide for ppl who unlocked officially ONLY.
You can receive OTA's, and you can download them, but you can't install them.
Also you should flash the official TWRP if you officially unlocked the bootloader. Be sure to download the universal boot image patches from the safe TWRP thread and also you can root from TWRP. When you open TWRP, it'll ask you if oyu want to root.
Use this recovery : http://en.miui.com/thread-282773-1-1.html , then you dont need flash modified boot.img everytime you flash miui roms.
After you flash OTA updates , your root access will be gone, so you need root again from twrp.

Exactly i m stuck here( kind of), cause this installation guide start like this.
" Reboot to twrp.
........
...........etc,etc.
Now it doesn't say how to flash twrp.
That alka.... author thinks/ want us to on twrp preinstalled. Help if possible to officially unlocked ppl
You have to flash recovery via fast boot
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Thanx a lot for the replies guys.
Well, I wanna learn everything that's related to Redmi Note 3 flashing, rooting, etc.
Like, to install TWRP, why do we need to flash a modified boot.img file? Is this also required if we have UNLOCKED OFFICIALLY?
Also, @justinxfan @ddarshan - why won't it install the OTA? Nonetheless, after downloading that OTA zip, we can install the OTA zip using TWRP without losing any data, right? And then, of course, as you said, we can again gain root access via TWRP right?
By the way, for now, I am not interested in any roms. Am very happy with the current MIUI Global Stable ROM. Just want root access but also wanna learn
It will be awesome if someone can list the differences and what to do after official and unofficial unlocking methods. Few more questions, does flashing any miui rom via twrp after official method will relock the bootloader or it can be done only by edl method? Also, flashing by edl method will remove twrp right?
Seriously guys, please help us out
if u unlock bootloader unofficially ,it will void your warranty but official unlock will not.

+1 for cofface's TWRP. I'm on officially unlocked and rooting works by flashing the latest SuperSU.zip through TWRP. I am not sure if Global Stable even allows root though, since I'm on Global Dev. I can also recommend going to xiaomi.eu ROM when you are unlocked. It's rootable and based on the latest version of MIUI without the chinese bloat. A good filler until a stable version of CM13 is released.
hey guys ,
how to change to Miui China Developer Rom from Global Stable Rom?

Understand that falshing the China Dev Rom gains Root access. Tell me does it affect any future OTAs ? or warranty ? And does chinese spam appear ..
I just want root access and continue using my phone normally. ( and receive future OTAs) What would u recommend. ??

For native root you must have Unlocked Bootloader even on Chinese Dev ROM... it won't affect any future updates if you are not using any Custom recovery.
and in Chinese Dev ROM there won't be any Google Services pre installed and lots of Chinese app will be there... hovever you can remove them if you are rooted... but again you need to have Bootloader unlocked to gain root access... and it is suggested to not flash a dev fast boot ROM and flash Chinese Stable Fastboot ROM and then update to latest Chinese Dev.
MiPCSuite solve all problems, no need any CMD and fastboot. Save your information first - it's make clean installation!

Thanks my friend. But had a bad experience. I flashed the MI Chinese Stable Rom thru MI Flash. Sadly device got locked stating that this device id is associated with another device. Could not go beyond the startup menu. Could not even shut my phone. Went to the service center and back on Global Stable Rom. Applied for Unlocking permission. Approved by Xiaomi. However now the issue is that when connected, the phone is scanned upto 50% and then again this device is associated with another ID. So can someone pls help me.. How do i switch to a Chinese Dev Rom, get root permissions and get on with my life ??

Device locked after flashing Chinese ROM is strange...!!
I just unlocked Bootloader with Global Stable Then Flashed TWRP alka and then Flashed Latest MIUI CN dev ROM and all is working as it should be...!!!
now with Unlocking Bootloader...
the process is quite pain of a**...
it work sometimes doesn't work something, xiaomi needs to come up with better solution...!!
so far you can try each step from this guide
http://en.miui.com/thread-280561-1-1.html
and if it doesn't work try after 3- 4 days or even after week, it won't work if you keep trying each day. (strange but true)
after Unlocking you can either Install TWRP and install SuperSU to gain root access...!! but it will break Official OTA updates, you can still flash full ROM but OTA won't work anymore...!
EDIt..
you can try this without breaking OTA..

You need to use the Mi Flash tool for that (requires unlocked bootloader).
Also, some users claim that you can try older MM based dev ROMs and update from there, but I couldn't do it.
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.

Yes, if I've understood you correctly
I was on the stock nougat Miui (sorry, idk the version of Miui 10) with unlocked bootloader but stock recovery.
Updated to the new stable pie (Miui global stable 10.1.3.0 PEJMIFI) by downloading the firmware and upgrading with System Update through settings
No problems
Edit- said above I was on stock nougat Miui - slip of the brain - meant Oreo obviously, but you knew that!
