Easy way to upgrade from 10.0.3 to 10.1.1 Global (PIE) - Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hey guys,
this won't be a big a tutorial, since it's already described generally how to make manually updates on MIUI.
So here is the solution for those with the "problem" getting away from 10.0.3 without downgrading to 10.0.2 :
Probably most of you already downloaded the update in their Mi8 phones, right?
Open the file manager, go to the file and rename it to something simple like "update.zip".
That's all folks. After this simple step my phone took the update and now I am on the latest global stable pie.
I hope more of us wilp get the hands on the new update!
Cheers!

Same question. Do we get it from OTA update or download manually? Doesnt show up in my OTA

I knew someone from here would be faster than me finding a way to apply the update

Yes, it works. From the updater. It brings you to twrp and it does its thing. After booting it will take you back again then just flash dmverity.zip and it should boot normally.

sembra che sul forum Xiaomi, qualche utente sia riuscito ad aggiornare a PIE dalla 10.0.3.0 in maniera automatica cliccando sul bottone verifica aggiornamenti. ne avete notizia?
it seems that on the Xiaomi forum, some users managed to update to PIE from 10.0.3.0 automatically by clicking on the check for updates button. do you have any news?

Do you mean to just rename the 10.1.1 file to "update.zip" and install it through the updater while on 10.0.3 ?
Also are there any bugs on 10.1.1 that don't exist on 10.0.3?
I mean is it actually better than 10.0.3 in any way? Does it worth the upgrade??

Yes, from reports on spanish forum I confirm that some users have switched from stable 10.0.3.0 to stable 10.1.1 directly, without problems, using phone updater
Also others users have switched from stable 10.0.3.0 to last beta 8.12.7 directly, without installing 8.9.7 previously.

Does this work on unlocked bootloader?

After changing the name in update.zip when you are checking for update press the 3 dots button and chose the file update. Zip. I just install from 10.0.3.0

Hello, Actually it's not required to be renamed as update.zip, I could go to 10.1.1.0 from 10.0.3.0 (global) directly with original file name (locked BL, never rooted)

Is it me or I feel like the colors on this pie rom are much much better ?
