[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] rocky_ritz:
I've just checked miui official site, and the latest both stable and developer version stock roms for Mix 2 have been released there. Simply download it and flash it through official flashing tool. Go check it! Hope can help you. I'm working on xposed for my mix 2 now;)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] stu5797:
Is there a safe way to flash that without being unlocked. I am waiting for Xiaomi to allow me to unlock.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Carlosbgx:
So to go from China to Global normally what you have to do is install from Fastboot, so Unlocked Bootloader is a must. There´s no news yet about Global ROM comingf out yet but I suspect that in a few weeks time it will be coming out, hopefully. Still no official news yet. With Chinese ROM you can install GApps through Mi store, there's an app which installs it, that should work for you. If you need help please let me know. Benefits from flashing GLOBAL is that GApps come preinstalled, theres not so much bloatware (MIUI CHINA has quite a lot, but you can still uninstall most of it easily, which I strongly suggest. Flashing an official rom isn't hard, but there's still people like me that can help you in the process for some cash and that can make sure that you don't mess up xd and make sure you understand what you are doing so you learn what you've done, at least that's my way of doing it :)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] raymondyipsp:
Re #1 its quite simple and i just did.

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Flash TWRP

3. Flash EU MIUI rom (based on chinese developer rom but comes with google)

4. Done
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] stu5797:
Did you wait 72 hours before you could unlock. I am waiting for that timer to get to 0, lol

There is a difference between your link and the rom from this one: http://en.miui.com/download-334.html
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] stu5797:
The link you have is for the Chinese rom and the Chinese developer rom.

My link is for the European EU Rom. EU ROM has Google Apps and no Chinese bloatware
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] raymondyipsp:
Yup, 72 hours waited

As i know taobao offers immediate unlock BL service, if you pay RMB$50

EU MIUI is the best!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Ideas4ya:
Hey I've been waiting to purchase the phone until I know I will be able to install a fresh rom without all the bloatware. This EU MIUI you're talking about, could this be the infamous "Global Rom" that I've been hearing about?

Any screenshots of this EU MIUI that will show the lack of bloatware so I can compare?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Redrockzz:
looks like this one is an unofficial developer rom with MIUI9 right?

But there will be an official global rom from xiaomi?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] MadMeshFan:
Its official, dont worry about that.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] scdoyle:
Not quite - they are two different things. The Global ROM usually refers to an official xiaomi ROM developed for outside China. It has Gapps built in and less Chinese software. If you go to en.miui.com and look at roms for various devices you will see many have both China and Global Roms. There isn't a global one yet for Mix 2.

The EU Roms are released by a team at xiaomi.eu and are based on xiaomi Roms but have some improvements, Gapps built in and many more languages.

Then in addition there are stable and developer options for each one.

I have always been satisfied with the EU Rom on previous xiaomi phones.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] MadSilence:

Middle of my screen shot. This was mentioned before but it's just a false positive.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
I'm just trying to understand...I'm not sure of the need for any tools to flash the global ROM. I was able to flash the global ROM just fine by adding the .zip file to my 'downloaded_rom' folder in the SD card and then running the update manually using the update functions in the settings menu. This can be done with a

locked

bootloader without issue. There didn't seem to be a need for any flashing tools.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] FSB:
It would not work like this for me. You are lucky.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Coffee Freak:
Xiaomi tool has been around for a while. Researching, it's been reported that it's a false positive and safe. I think it would get reported here at XDA if it wasn't safe. I am Linux based using it in a virtual machine so I am not prone to viruses, nor checking. If you have any actual proof it is a virus and not safe you need to step forward with it?!?! XDA should know about it!

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
Were you going from the developer beta ROM or the stable one?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Coffee Freak:
Tried going from both the Chinese Stable and the Chinese developer ROM. same error.

Were you using a VPN? Via servers in China? Didn't think about that but that could work. Well, it's flashed now anyway and works great. Very happy that I can get Netflix and YouTube TV working now and I am getting my Hangouts notifications. I use Google Voice. Notifications were not reliable with the Chinese ROM. I don't want to unlock the bootloader, but that was a last resort. My banking apps and Android pay wouldn't work without jumping through hoops with the bootloader unlocked.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
No...no VPN or anything. Maybe I used MiFlash with the fast boot option and am not remembering right...but I know I didn’t use the OP’s tool. I guess it’s a moot issue anyway as long as it’s working for everybody! But i definitely remenber using the normal settings update option at least once or twice...though this doesn’t seem to work on the beta ROMs.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Coffee Freak:
I will tell you either the Chinese are cheating on their ROM or it's much better optimized based on the AnTuTu scores. No real world notable differences.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] DJSLINKARD:
I'm getting a bit better battery life on the global rom vs the chinese one, which is to be expected as it has less bloat.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
Has anyone had luck with Android Pay on the global ROM? I'm bootloader locked and pass SafetyNet just fine...and can add credit cards...but then I get a "bad swipe" or similar error at NFC terminals when I try and pay. I have HCE selected in the NFC settings and all the Google Apps (I think) are autostart, non- battery optimization, etc...but still no dice. Really frustrating as there's no way to test Android Pay without actually buying something.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] hnt20:

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Ulver:
I had a similar issue. Make sure Android Pay has access to NFC. Also, it helped me when I changed the secure element position from HCE to imbedded, back to HCE. I made a couple successful payments after I did this.

Thanks! I'll try that...NFC permissions were granted but the HCE/embedded toggling sounds promising.

to open the phone it's easy, you need something like this:

and remove 10 screws

topics here: http://en.miui.com/thread-908650-1-1.html

once it's done, touch the 2 pins in red on my picture and connect the usb-c cable.

your mi mix2 will turn on in EDL mode

it will appear like a qualcomm device in window and a com port will be present in miflash.

now, you can install a fastboot rom found on the xiaomi website.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] andrewsun83:
I got the same error message when I was flashing mine last night. It turned out the flash tool needs a short file path. When I download my ROM and flash tool, I put everything on my desktop. So my file path was something like this: C:\Users\Username\Desktop\Mi Mix2\EnglishROM\Miui9Global\v9.1 and this is too long for the flash tool to handle. I changed it to C:\Miui9\ after reading of similar trouble elsewhere on a different model of Mi phone. That solved the problem for me. Try it and see if this helps you.

(Oh, please ensure you are using the full ROM from the office Miui website - they have a section with step by step instruction on how to flash using Fastboot. Make sure you are using the full ROM for your Mi Mix 2 from the long list of phones they have. Don't get confused by the similar sounding Mix Max 2 either.)

Hi, can you help me with flashing china to global rom on mix 2 please?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] mac231us:
Link you provided itself says "Prerequisite to use Xiaomi Tool

Make sure your Xiaomi phone bootloader is unlocked. Yes, to use this app your phone’s bootloader is unlocked. You can use the Xiaomi tool also to unlock the bootloader. But for that, you need the Unlocking permission from Xiaomi."

so how is it that "You don't need bootloader unlock"?

or did you mean to say you don't need bootloader unlock to run the tool but that you need to use the tool/can use the tool to do the bootloader unlock?

not one set of instructions is clear (no offence to you but typically someone will start off saying you need xyz tool but I did it this way...then that way requires something else that then leads to something else)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Coffee Freak:
Last year when I posted that you could use the tool and it would give you a list of ROMs you could install. The ROMs were identified as some being flashable with and without a locked boot loader. I haven't used the tool in probably 8 months since I first flashed my phone with the nougat global ROM. I don't know how it is set up now, I have had many new updates since then. The MiMix2 has only gotten better with each update and it was already a great phone. I may buy the 2S! Loving the swipe gestures that came with Oreo.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] mac231us:
Thanks...no problem. I realized I posted on the mix 2 site while I have the mix.

Nevertheless...I finally figured it out just using the miui site to do the bootloader unlock (turns out for some reason the miui unlock tool was displaying a blank screen. Using another laptop worked)

Thing that I have not figured out is twrp (latest official rom-switched to China rom from global rom as better themes than the global extra apps don't bother me a bit as don't see any difference performance-wise)

tried all twrp right from mr raines to raupe to one other from the 3.0.2 to the latest 3.2.x....it is always 0mb for storage. adb sideload does not work. cannot flash the su or un verity as it cannot access anything for flashing)

anyway my issues are mix-specific and this is a mix 2 forum - apologize. Yes mix2 is an improvement but the screen size went the other way (for me 6.6 to 6.8 is the best as I cannot type on small screens) Thanks anyway though!

One question. Zip file with AOSP should be moved intact or only vendor folder from inside it?

Seems it has to be whole .zip.
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] superproskiller:
Sure thing :)

First of all your bootloader needs to be unlocked. I'm assuming you already did that but if not you should read about backuping your drm-keys because otherwise they can't be recovered after unlocking your bootloader unless you do that.

If you don't have fastboot installed yet follow this guide.

After that download the first file linked at the top of this thread.

Unpack the archive (if you can't open it I recommend "the unarchiver" from the app-store).

Place both this file and the zip from the third link at the top in the unpacked folder (in the path where the flash.sh is). Don't unpack the .zip file!

After that open a terminal and navigate to your unpacked folder (if you don't know how to do that google for "terminal tutorial mac").

Run

chmod +x flash.sh
chmod +x make_ext4fs

to mark the flash-script and the make_ext4fs-file as executable.

Boot your device into fastboot mode (hold volume up while it's turned off and plug in your usb-cable) and finally run

./flash.sh

to install sailfishOS on the device.

If there is a "hybris-recovery.img" file in the directory (can't quite remember if that's the case with this build) also run

fastboot flash recovery hybris-recovery.img

to install a sailfishOS specific recovery.

After that you can reboot your device and enjoy Sailfish OS :)

[MENTION=2492212]Jozinek[/MENTION]

You didn't unpack the .tar.bz, inside are all files needed to flash. Than You have to move make_ext4fs, AOSP.zip and flash.fs into created (by unpacking) folder and start/cd Terminal there.

[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] superproskiller:
You most likely placed the first file in the wrong folder it has to be in the same folder as the flash.sh (also you have to run the script while in the same directory).

If you're on linux you need the first one, on macOS the second one.

Also you need to run

chmod +x make_ext4fs

in order to mark the file as executable.
