To install global firmware via MiFlash on the device, you need to unlock the device. For now UNIT The working method for unlocking the device is through the official MiUnlock program. Xiaomi blocked all other methods (via an engineering cable, switching to EDL mode) in the remaining firmware.

If you have quickly switched to Xiaomi smartphones or are not ready for such a short time, then you can already sense how smooth and functional the MIUI shell is. If you dig deeper, you might think about the problem of choosing a firmware version, since their choice is great. For this reason, you may be afraid to update your phone, or wait for an update because you never show up. This problem of choice led us to look at the main MIUI firmware. Now you will have a clear guide to all versions of MIUI with a short description of the possibilities, pros and cons.

How to share MIUI firmware by region?

First of all, let's look at the MIUI firmware by region. Everything here is very simple.

Two versions are officially released:

  • for the domestic market, won English-Chinese – China ROM;
  • for the international market, global – Global ROM.

These are two basic versions of MIUI firmware, on the basis of which custom firmware is created. A little more about the skin in two.

MIUI Global ROM (global firmware)

This firmware is intended for smartphones and tablets that are released outside of China. The international version of MIUI can already be installed by programs and services from Google. There are elections here, including Russian ones.

MIUI China ROM

This version is released exclusively for smartphones that are sold on the domestic market. The firmware has 2 installed languages ​​- Chinese and English, there are also Google daily services and a software installed that only works in China.

How are MIUI firmware classified by type?

For now, everything seems to be quite simple, MIUI can also be divided into its type:

  • MIUI Developer ROM – for customers, beta version of MIUI;
  • MIUI Stable ROM – stable firmware version;
  • MIUI Ported ROM – these are unofficial versions of MIUI firmware, which are supported by retailers in local markets;
  • self-made firmware based on MIUI - the same custom ones, most often their “creators” are unknown;
  • Regional MIUI firmware – depending on the type of mobile connection, is released for models.

MIUI Developer ROM

These firmwares are released officially by Xiaomi retailers. Initially, such collections are intended for experienced users who are careful to gain access to new functions of the operating system. The Developer ROM is available for testing new features and often has some bugs.

The very renewal of this is the celebration on Fridays (Crimea is holy). As soon as defects appear, they quickly dry up and the MIUI version is available, so no shortcomings may be detected before.

Finding the firmware for retailers is as simple as looking for the name. For example, as you know, the collection is called MIUI 8 7.21.4, it was released on January 21, 2017.

MIUI Stable ROM

With these firmware versions, everything is much simpler. They are also released by a team of Xiaomi developers, with official, stable, protest collections, with full functions that work, and without obvious glitches, which are found in developer collections kah.

You can safely install this firmware on your phone, but you won’t lose it to others who deny access to the update. Here the choice is made for the sake of stability. Stable ROM firmware is updated without a regular schedule, so you can update it every couple of years, otherwise you won’t see anything new for months.

MIUI Ported ROM

This type of MIUI firmware requires the most custom builds, obviously, all of them are unofficial. You can often run into problems with such firmware for one main reason - outside of China, Xiaomi smartphones usually install localized versions of MIUI, collected by third-party vendors.

This type of firmware is clearly selected by enthusiasts who port MIUI and on devices of other devices, such as Xiaomi.

Basically, Ported ROM MIUI is built on the basis of a stable version of the firmware, or on a developer version with bugs fixed. Often such custom assemblies are updated behind a regular schedule, but installation must be done manually.

Custom obscure MIUI selection

Still, you can see from the hidden pictures of custom MIUI firmware of the same subtype - self-made assemblies that are leaked on “old” Xiaomi smartphones. Often such firmware has terrible translation, terrible optimization and unfixed bugs.

If you have first encountered MIUI firmware of this type, then, naturally, hostility to the operating system and the phone as a whole will be permanently sealed. Don’t ever vikorize such selections.

Regional MIUI ROM / Other versions

These are far from the most extensive types of MIUI firmware. Most importantly, we noted that it is important to have regional localized collections for a specific type of mobile connection or for a single operator. Most of the firmware available is WCDMA ROM MIUI and TD ROM – the first one is sold on models only for the additional 3G connection WCDMA (less widened), and the other one – only for the domestic market in China.

We can also update MIUI firmware using the simplest notation – size.

Full ROM is a full version of the firmware that can be easily installed from scratch on your smartphone. Often, installations of this type are faced with all the troubles and other problems that could not be solved in other ways. Such a MIUI package provides all the necessary services, through which the firmware file is not so small – up to 2 GB.

Incremental ROM is simply an update to the firmware, and is updated with necessary corrections. Most often, you can get them via OTA (via WiFi), if you have the official MIUI firmware installed - stable or for retailers. The update prices are small – from 20 to 200 MB.

And at the end of the process, there is a significant implicit subsection of MIUI firmware for the update method - by OTA or manually.

Regardless of the official MIUI firmware, you may be able to cancel the update at any time, unless you manually changed anything in the system files. This may cause problems with OTA updates. You will have to fix the problem manually - install a folding system, which you can first view on the official Xiaomi MIUI forum.

Or a tablet, you know, it already has firmware with the latest version of the OS, but it’s not always easy. And on the right, there are no installed functions. Many Xiaomi devices have Russian language support, and as you know, the translation may be inaccurate or inaccurate. In addition, Firmware often has unnecessary options and programs that cannot be deleted, and even worse, the gadget sometimes malfunctions, freezes, and does not open any programs. It’s easy to get into trouble with these problems - since you are not controlled by the factory firmware of the Xiaomi Mi5 or other devices from its manufacturer, it can be updated or changed.

Find official and custom Firmware. Custom assemblies are created by craftsmen, sometimes they are much better than factory OS. How to choose a security program - stay with you.

There is a great amount of Firmware on the 4pda website. There you can find the firmware for any need, including global and Russian. There is a description of each OS with screenshots and report instructions. You can immediately understand what the system interface looks like and what its functions are.

There is a specialized service with official Firmware for Xiaomi – proxiaom. There are news, look around, statistics, additions. Choose the OS that is suitable for your phone or tablet. If you install the Firmware that was installed for a different model, problems will arise with the gadget. The firmware can also be found on the official Miui website.

What does “Blocking for Vantage” mean?

Bootloader (or "Zavantazhuvach") controls the process of starting the operating system. This is analogous to a computer BIOS. If the system files are corrupted, you must enable the update mode to be activated and reset the gadget to standard settings.

In other models, Xiaomi Bootloader is blocked. This means that you won’t be able to re-test the device using standard methods. The software company should be careful to ensure that the device is not equipped with third-party software, but is equipped with a system specially designed for that particular gadget.

Online stores often install their own firmware. It may be filled with old advertising software or work unstably. Blocking the locker prevents you from unlocking the stupid OS on your Xiaomi device.

This drying mechanism also has disadvantages. If you don't have the factory firmware, you won't be able to change it, but you'll end up in a tricky situation.

You can try to get rid of the exchange by submitting an official request to Xiaomi. However, this should not be asked again.

You can find out which blockings have been blocked like this:


Before flashing

Before you try again Xiaomi Mi5 or a different model, do the following:

  • Fully charge the gadget so that the battery is not too late to reinstall the OS.
  • Get a backup copy of information from your phone or tablet. Save contacts, messages, SMS, notes, photos, videos and other important data on another device or in a separate location.
  • Install the driver for your computer. The stinks are present in the complete set of smartphones and tablets. They can also be accessed on the Internet, or in most cases they can be automatically installed when the phone is connected to the computer.
  • Find and install a utility called “adb”. This is a universal program that allows you to download Android devices from your PC. You may need to flash Xiaomi. Place the folder below it to the root of the system disk. Dorozi before the catalog is to blame for Russian letters and clearings (login C:\adb).
  • Next, select the Firmware that is suitable for your phone model. The name of the multi-movie OS with a hint of Cyrillic has the word “Global” (meaning “global”).

Firmware via EDL

To install the global firmware of Xiaomi Mi5, you need to switch the device to EDL mode. This is also true for devices with blocked devices.

If there are problems with the device, it is better to download the factory Firmware (Chinese) first. This way, all system files and modes will be updated, and then you can change the rich OS.

To flash a Xiaomi device, you need to flash it for a minute. With current devices, many companies are locked, so you won’t be able to install a new OS using standard methods, but you can still change the Firmware.

Problem: having bought a Xiaomi Mi4c phone, it was installed with firmware with a partial Russian translation, a lot of advertising and some unnecessary menu items.

As far as I know, this is a normal situation with this model, because This phone model is not intended for the Russian market. That's why we should import and sew whatever. And then the hackers either suffer or scour the Internet while searching for the simple instructions of the same firmware.
