First 12.5 version for K20 - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio

So... yup!
Pleasant surprise
I sincerely thought that my Mi 9T EEA would go from Android 10 to 11 via MIUI 12.0 to 12.1... but it seems that Xiaomi released a 12.5 stable beta: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/davinci/stable/V12.5.1.0.RFJCNXM/
So I'm guessing that it will end up reaching EEA sooner or later.
IMHO, I'm already happy with 12.0, but if 12.5 runs lighter than 12.1 and is stable with no major bugs... bring it on!

Read about no sound after miui update and consider it as destruction of your device
If I were you, I would not update and go away from miui as fast as possible

I'm pretty sure they'll fix it before going Stable
I'm quite happy with MIUI, so I'll go LineageOS once Xiaomi stops supporting the device.

[ROM] Mi 8 Miui 10 Global Beta 8.11.1 Android Pie

Update:
Miui 10 8.11.1 Android Pie: http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.11.1/miui_MI8Global_8.11.1_ed2903c393_9.0.zip
What's the changelog?
Sent from my MI 8 using Tapatalk
Maybe it has ARB, so keep eyes opens (on xiaomi.eu the new roms based on android 9 are marked with “Anti Roll Back” )
Looks like its still android 8.1 by the filename.
I flashed this. This is also global beta, but the closed nightly one. I am unsure of the changelog (no permission)
I've read some comments saying the number at the end of the ROM file represents the Android version (It's still 8.x Oreo).
miui_MI8Global_8.9.4_5162352d78_8.1.zip
According to the mi forums there are just some bug fixes. Nothing new at all. The software developers of Xiaomi are seriously a joke. There's still no official stable even after three months after release of their allegedly flagship that got unveiled with MIUI 10. The Chinese and global version differs in features (Chinese shows WhatsApp notifications in the Always On screen for example), the cheap ass Mi8se got miui10 already, but the flagship doesn't, ok Google never worked in any Rom so far and not to forget the whole discussion about bootloader's or GPS. It's a ridiculous failure so far in my opinion

I need tonwait 720 hours to unlock. Is it ok to flash it via updatet or better to wait for the fastboot/unlocked bl?
just flash via updater like me. just make sure u have a global version mi 8.
Is it really based on Android 9.0?
It's not, how do you get that idea? Funny thing is, that the roms get worse with every update IMHO. The best working so far was actually 8.8.7. With 8.8.21 some of the gestures stopped working and the AOD flashed white before activating, additionally it became slow and laggy after some time without reboot. The AOD is fixed now, gestures still doesn't fully work, same goes for "ok Google". Why the Chinese version supported WhatsApp notifications in the AOD and the global doesn't is another oddity. I'm not impressed.
Fastboot link: http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.9.6/dipper_global_images_8.9.6_20180906.0000.00_8.1_global_f75c6cea8d.tgz
Will data be erased if I update from updater? I am still on latest global stable.

Android 10 for Mi 8 Lite

Do you think Xiaomi updated the Mi 8 Lite to the recently released version of Android 10?
Will someone give development to customs roms of Android 10 for the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite?
Hold your jets pal. We dont even have a rock solid Pixel Experience on Pie.
My advice. Go test the latest builds, use the phone, report back and then maybe we will have Android 10.
Eventhough not officially announced, it's almost guaranteed at this point Xiaomi will update it to Android 10. Usually it's 2 years of version updates and 3 years of security updates. The estimated release date is somewhere between Q4/2019 (Mi 8) and Q1/2020 (Redmi Note 7).
That beeing said, don't hold your breath on it. Kernel sources usually get available at a much later date. Until we have high quality, rock stable custom Android 10 ROMs, most likely another year will pass.
I'm optimistic about this. @nysadev even made a guide on how to install Android 10 GSIs on platina, so i think soon we'll have (not stable) custom roms
there will be an android 10 miui for mix 2s. miui 11 will come first as android 9 later it will update to android 10.

Apparently no one has new issues about what will happen with Android 10 in the Mi 8 Lite, in the same way my cell phone was stolen and I'm not interested much because It makes no sense to remain interested in something that I no longer have :/

Mi Pad 4 is NOT getting MIUI 11

So, Xiaomi just released their plan of updating their Chinese devices on MIUI 11. You can find the plan on their homepage here (scroll to the bottom)
As you can clearly tell, Mi Pad 4 is not on the list (neither is Mi Pad 4 Plus), so unless they change their mind, we're stuck with what we already have.
Thats utterly incredible incompetence...
If it would stick with 8.1 Android ok... but at least MIUI 11
Will it be possible to develop unofficial MIUI 11 or Android 9 and 10 roms if they release sources?

Mi 8 Lite/Youth is getting MIUI11 in the first batch, it also uses Snapdragon 660.
As well as Redmi Note 7, Mi 6X,...
I am really courious what devs maybe can do with it.
We should waiting on Friday. I think we'll got MIUI 11.
Some times in the past Xiaomi didn't mention MI Pad 4 in the releases, I hope we will see MIUI 11 next Friday.
It seems that we're getting MIUI 11 from xiaomi.eu

Pixel Experience Plus on Android 9 will keep getting monthly security updates and a few new features at least until the end of the year.
Meanwhile, our friend @rcstar6696 is working hard to get us some Android 10.

I agree with gaja22.
I'm seriusly thinking about to switch to Pixel Experience Rom for many months. I have 2 questions:
1. What are the difference between Pixel Experience and Pixel Experience Plus roms? I'd like to use a stock rom without developers personalizations.
2. Are OTA updates available or I have to install manually every new update?
Thanks in advance for tour support.

1. The difference between Pixel Experience and Pixel Experience Plus is that the Plus version has a few extra features, while maintaining overall the Pixel feel. Some of the features on the Plus include Navigation Button Invert Layout. integrated Screen and Sound Recorder, Status Bar Customization and many more.
Currently the 2 variants are maintained by 2 different developers.
2. OTA Updates are currently not available for neither Pixel Experience, nor for the Pixel Experience Plus.
Next: MIUI 11 Android 10
Pie MIUI 11 seems pretty nice and stable so far. But why stop here..
Edit: Tablet mode enabled screens, and yes. It's very smooth. Even manual camera settings work.
It's a port for MI Pad 4?

I'll upload it only when I'll get Android 10 MIUI 11 to work and most/all bugs will be fixed. Official Pie vendor from Xiaomi would help a lot, but seems like Xiaomi doesn't care at all about their tablets.
Right now I have to stabilise Pie vendor, then I'll try different bases to see which one will work best, and after that I'll try to upgrade Pie vendor to Android 10. It's a ton of work but in the end we hopefully will have mostly working MIUI 11 Android 10.
I've been using Pie MIUI 11 for a day now and it's really amazing. But we all want Android 10
I'll post pics as soon as Android 10 MIUI 11 boots. (Might take a while as I just realised Q needs System as root)

It is just on EOL status for chinese weekly builds, not for stable releases. On MIUI 11 Stable release list its not listed with EOL as of now (https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-11-0-stable-release.52628/). I dont have too many expectations, but one can dream...

Most Stable official Rom?

I recently bought Mi note 10 lite and its on miui 11 right now. Since I won't be able to roll back the firmware I wanted to ask which one should I use to update. Should I update to lates official rom from ota? Is there any complaints about the updates?

Wait until MIUI 12.5 as MIUI 12.0, 12.1 and 12.2 drains battery crazy.

If it can be reversed, at least I did it from Android 11 (miui 12.1.1), I was in global miui 12.0.3 and also tried miui eu, however I ended up going back to the factory ROM.
The best ROM for the mi note 10 Lite is miui 11.0.8 in performance and battery.

This can be concluded as 'Do not update.'
The main concern now is about the old security patch, which may risk the data in the device from hacking. An alternative attempt to fix security problems is to install trusty ( I mean famous and good rated) antimalware app(s), which may take a little bit of storage and use a little bit of battery.
AOSP or debloated roms can be also nice battery-wise and speed-wise, but there are stability concerns, bugs and can also affect security.

The issue of security is relative in the devices because it will depend on the type of use you give it, personally I still do not think there is a stable and secure ROM better than Miui 11.0.8 (at the moment).
As I discussed earlier, I have tested all the official ROMs on this device and none will be better in fluidity and battery management than the factory ROM.
We'll see what happens to miui 12.5, but for now I'm staying where I am.

You are absolutely right, it is better to wait a few months while we see how the official and custom ROMs evolve because at the moment there is nothing stable.

It may be worth mentioning that it is rumored that MIUI 12.5 is fluid but battery is still kind of, bad. The MIUI 12.5 is still in alpha state (China devloper version) though, hope that the battery drain is fixed in the final stable build.
We might need to wait for MIUI 13 and probably battery life will get better...

Unfortunately, because of warranty concerns, I don't want to unlock BL. This breaks the warranty. Hence I dont have chance roll back.
Right now my rom is 11.0.4 and I found a problem where I am not able to use slow motion recording. Camera just stops responding.

Hello friend ..
I found the performance and battery problems in the global versions 12.0.3 and 12.1.1, in the same way in the custom ROM of miui.eu 12.0.3.
I understand that Xiaomi does not remove the warranty for unlocking the bootloader, but still, I think you can try updating to the version of miui 11.0.8 because it runs very smoothly for me and is the best.
Regards.

Download the Zip and move it to the downloaded_rom folder.
Then go to settings, About the Phone, then update system and on the miui 11 logo, touch several times to activate the advanced installation options.
Go to the 3 points on the top right and select package to update. Select the package saved in the downloaded_rom folder.
The download link is from miui 11.0.8 global, if you need the miui EEA tell me.

Question Restore stock eea from from .eu

Hello, weeks ago I was on stock miui 13 eea rom. Then I unlocked the bootloader and flashed a xiaomi.eu miui 12 rom. The flash was simply done by rebooting in fastboot and running a .bat.
Can anyone explain me how to go back to miui 13 eea stock?
First, get a stock firmware from here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/renoir/ and use a fastboot way.
PS. Atention to download a fastboot version.

OT:
I am waiting patiently for an adaptation of CR-Droid for our device (renoir).
Has anyone seen an maybe unofficial version somewhere?
I am a sucker for CR since over a year now on Mi Mix 2s (discontinued).
Has anyone an explaination, why the 4G-Version is supported by more Custom Roms than the 5G-Version?
Is it not attractive enough, hardware-wise?

crDroid 8.4 GSI works flawless in renoir, except for battery consumption ("fashion" features has a cost) and safetynet.
Oh, that sweet sound! So is renoir project treble compatible? I know, i is an A/B-system.
I was relying on the official builds in the past, but I was already planning to go a different way, if there is no official maintainer for a renoir build.
Is there a best option for downloading the crdroid 8.4 GSI?
TWRP is running fine already.
I really appreciate your hint and help on this, thank you @rcavalcanti !
