I have 3 questions
1) is it legal/valid to flash miui China alpha ROM unofficially?For example...if an mi account is not a alpha/beta tester....can he flash it unofficially.... Bcoz there is a thread for this in xda....so external link is available(for 2-3 devices)....assume I unlock my Bootloader...and I know how to flash fastboot ROMS...
2)if it is valid...then can I log in with the mi account which I had with the normal stable ROM?
3) if the update is from August/September .2017..can I update it till the latest miui China alpha ROM of 2018?

What i know is that you can flash the official chinese builds available on miui website, without any problems. But i am not sure about fastboot.
(About 2 3 months ago i flashed the chinese (3+32gb) build and it worked fine, except everyt was in Chinese and no gapps were installed)
This means alpha roms are not available in English?

Next week I receive my Mi 8 Lite EU global, and today I downloaded some Firmware versions. But, which one is the most recent?
xiaomi.eu_multi_MI8LITE_9.1.10_v10-9
miui_MI8LiteGlobal_9.1.10_621ee9569d_8.1
miui_MI8LiteGlobal_V10.0.5.0.ODTMIFH_f780b61d3f_8.1
Thanks for the help!
Every three are recent. Your choise to install...
1. Xiaomi.eu is a custom rom, and as such, contains a fair few tweaks over the Official Global Stable
2. official MIUI rom but as beta version
3. official MIUI rom as stable version

Thanks! But is nr. 2 newer than nr. 3? I ask this because firmware nr. 2 begins with a 9 and firmware nr.3 begins with a 10

Beta versions are out every friday, and don't mix marks for public beta and public stable. Stable version begin with 10 (because of MIUI 10), and beta version is now on 9 (first beta update this year).
Go to MIUI forum, and download section for Mi8 lite and there are latest stable and beta updates (new beta will be out next friday).

Are 1 and 2 Andoid Pie beta firmware?
Can I install the beta firmware without unlocking the bootloader? And is it possible to downgrade from the beta to the stable version?
I'm sorry for all the newbie questions, but I want to be sure before I do something.
There is no Pie beta firmware for global version for now... only 8.1 in any combination of these three roms...
Go to MIUI forum and there you will find answers for everything

If you have unlocked the bootloader than you can flash custom miui builds that are pie such as miuipro or mi-globe.
I have Xiaomi Mi 8 with MIUI 10.2.1.0 Global Stable and I would like to downgrade to MIUI 8.12.20. so I have 2 questions :
* Where to download the MIUI 8.12.20 rom ?
* How to downgrade from MIUI Stable 10.2.1.0 to MIUI 10 8.12.20 ?
I'm a new user of Xiaomi phones, I have no idea from where to start. I google those questions and I read a lot of contradictory informations (some says that it's not possible to downgrade, others says that you just have to flash it, ...). I installed android device bridge and fastboot. Also applied to unlock the bootloader today so I have to wait a while to be able to unlock it for real.
Can you please help me ?
If you can unlock your bootloader you can use mi flash and fastboot to flash beta rom.

you can download recovery rom from en.miui.com and flash though updater app in system settings, backup your data first it will clean all device data
Thank you for your answer. I read that the rollback protection will brick the phone if I try to install a older version my rom. A beta version will skip that check ?
Why would going from android pie stable to android pie beta ever trigger arb?
Actually the entire premise makes no sense... 8.12.20? Stable? Wat?
Miui 8 on mi 8? Wat?

Does the version of miui change anything? Or it is only the android version? If it is only android version it's easier.

Ok thanks. So I'm on a stable miui 10 build 2.1.0 and I need to install developer build from 3 weeks ago (probably miui 10 but not sure).
I'm trying to install the required version of miui to install havoc ROM. It is written in the ROM requirement that I need to install 8.12.20 and then flash the ROM on top of it.
So if I got it, I need to wait for the unlocking of the bootloader and then install the developer build.
Does it change something if I download the MIUI 8.12.20 from xiaomi.eu ? I don't find that rom on en.miui.com. Do you know any trusted source to download ROM ?

Good to know. Thanks for the information.
Can someone confirm that there is no risk to flash miui Dev 8.12.20 on top on miui global stable 10.2.1.0 ? No risk for arb ?
And is it possible to reinstall an official version of miui in the future after flashing developer build then custom ROM ?
Yes you'll need to unlock bootloader to install custom rom.
No you dont have to wait to install global beta, you can do that straight from the miui updater on your phone (three dots \ choose update package)
It'll factory reset your phone.
I don't know if you can go from 10.2.x.x stable straight to 8.12.20 beta but the updater will tell you.
Worst case you'll have to downgrade to an earlier stable release first.
The miui updater will never allow you two trigger arb and arb will only ever get triggered when trying to downgrade the ANDROID version.
Google to find out how to check the current status of arb via adb

To move from stable to beta I need to unlock the bootloader and this operation takes a while if I understood coreectly. I just applied to unlock my bootloader so I presume I have to wait around 15 days to be able to start, is it correct ?
I did not get why I would have to pass by an earlier stable release first, can you give me more informations please?
Thank you, really appreciate. Was completely lost regarding all those things.

Yes you can download from xiaomi servers but you needa link, here it is:
http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.12.20/miui_MI8Global_8.12.20_c7a9af8587_9.0.zip
Stable versions use older sources than weekly version

Is it the official global dev rom ? Thank you
Another question to install my new rom, which version of TWRP should I install ? There are many version for xiaomi (wzsx, FireDance-Edition, and many others). Is there any difference ? I just want TWRP, but I don't understand why there are so many different versions of the same recovery for the same phone... Someone understood that ?
EDIT: a user from xiaomi.eu told me to take TWRP FireDance-Edition for the many languages included. Is it a good choice ?

Well, 8.12.20 it's based on MIUI10. If you want to go Beta, just flash 9.1.10 Global Beta, that it's the latest build.
There's a ton of guide on official en.miui.com, just follow them!

My goal is not go Beta but to install Havoc. In the first post of the rom he says, first install 8.12.20 and then flash the rom. That's why i'm asking for that specific version.

9.1.10 is better than 8.12.20, and as I said on Havoc thread the 8.12.20 is the minimum base firmware required, not the only one.
Feel free to try what you want
Other than that, use latest PitchBlack Recovery (based on 3.2.3 TWRP) as recovery.

Interesting. Which miui version would be better to take? Is there one more stable than the other? Is it better to install the latest beta and flash havoc on top of it?
Thank you for pitch-black recommandation. Seems to be a fork of twrp, what your motivation to go with that one instead of twrp?
Your help is yeally appreciate Thanks you for taking the time to answer those questions.
I would stick with whatever the ROM maintainer recommends for firmware. See link got -perfect example of why:

Nice, only problem is getting Google contacts to sync after installing Google play services on China MIUI via the Google installer. Everything else works including the Google play store apart from contacts sync. Otherwise China Dev ROMs always have more cool features. Anyone able to share how to sync their Google contacts on China Dev MIUI ROMs

I have the Chinese edition and the images only are:
Find N2 Flip Android™ 14 Beta：
India version: https://sbox.myoas.com/outpublish.html?code=A711401ef7e902c7e#view
Malaysia version: https://sbox.myoas.com/outpublish.html?code=A1ffb5db9fe2e9f85#view
Thailand version: https://sbox.myoas.com/outpublish.html?code=A8feff3b608b7a95e#view
I am getting down anyway the version for India.
I would wait for beta 2 or 3.. early beta always riddled with bugs..
I don't the reason of the Chinese roms. I was aware of but I tried... and it doesn't accept these ROMs.
Has anyone tried to install the beta on the N2 flip global version?
