djgholum: there is of course an official China MIUI 10 beta for the Mi Max 3. If you can read Mandarin you can go to the Xiaomi China website and download the weekly beta releases every Friday. If you can't read or translate Chinese you can use the xiaomi.eu MIUI 10 weekly beta which is an English (and other European language) translation of the weekly China beta. This thread is for their ROMs.

Johniq: no, you can't go back from 8.9.6 to 8.8.9 as xiaomi.eu left anti-rollback in place after 8.8.23. They tried to strip arb from the 8.8.23 release and it broke telephone call connectivity.

[ROM] [NITROGEN][8.1.0] Xiaomi.eu Weekly MIUI 10 for Mi Max 3

Thanks for your replay to my question.

Could you kindly send a link for China miui beta 10?

Because it is not exists. Even in MI forum app/ recruitment page for applying to be miui beta team tester, there is not MI Max 3 listed.

So please send me the Chinese link, if possible.

Remember there are two sets of Mi Forum pages - one for Global and one for China. Here is the download link page fro the Mi Max 3 from the China Mi Forum website. When you are on the Global (English language) website you can navigate to the Chinese or Russian websites by using the tab at the top right hand side of the home page.

Are any of you guys using a 3rd party messaging app?

I am using Textra and notifications show up on the bar on the top and then go away after a few seconds. I've set all the permission for Textra and also enabled all the settings under Notifications too.

Maybe its just a Textra issue. I also use Line for messaging and that seems to function correctly.

I wiped dalvik, cache, data, and internal storage.

I did not wipe system partition.

The phone had Xiaomi eu rom before due to being purchased at tradingshenzhen so its only an update.

But the phone did the same thing even when I did not wipe data partition.

Any help?

Maybe try fastboot wiping user data: fastboot erase userdata

Otherwise, go back to 8.8.9 eu weekly (problem free rom).
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SUPERUSER:
Thank you. I will try that.

Just to be clear, wiping system partition is an absolute no go?

And will it be okay to downgrade the xiaomi eu rom?

I tried getvar fastboot getvar anti and got an error, no 1 2 or 4.

Does it mean I'm in the clear and anti rollback is not activated om my device?

Yeah, you're good. We both started on eu. So antirollback isn't activated on 8.9.6 when I checked the xiaomi.eu download site.

Help !

I donwgrade from 8.8.23 to 8.89, and system have problem.

Then i decide to flash by twrp 8.9.6, and i make installation, as new installation, with format data by fastboot.

Now i reboot system and i see this message " reset phone" " Encryption as interrupted and can't complete "

I try again to reinstall TWRP but is the same !!

Ok, but i try to install 8.9.6 ( with ARB) if i try downgrade, i brick ???

fastboot erase userdata ( this command cancell partition ???)

Thank

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

Resolved !!!!

This is solution " format data with f2fs. On twrp go to wipe, then, right click on format data. Tape YES, and format data. If needed, reboot recovery one Time before."
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SUPERUSER:
May I ask why I should not wipe system partition?

Is there data on that partition needed for the next rom?

This is the first modern phone I own that you shall not do so.

All phones I had before I wiped all partitions possible before flashing any rom :rolleyes:

edit:

Also is there any way to root this rom to bypass the extreme slowdown after flashing Magisk?

I installed kernel adiutor and changed big cpu governor to performance and it didn't to much but when I changed the little cpu governor to performance there was a major performance boost.

The animation still lagged when turning on the screen and installing additional apps but it was some improvement.

You can wipe system partition to clear the OS, but that's if the rom you're flashing isn't broken (which is what you've seen a few times already). A faulty OS will put you in a bootloop. I'm not familiar with MIUI extensively, so that's why I tread carefully regarding the system partition. [MENTION=7889477]omer919[/MENTION] or more knowledgeable members can chime in.

I have no lag. Maybe because I run Nova Launcher Prime? I first let the rom boot. Then reboot into twrp recovery, install magisk 17.1.zip, and reboot back to system.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nijel8:
You can wipe, format, shrink, extend, whatever with the system partition. Just make sure the rom which you'll install supports the file system you're going to end up with after those manipulation.

TWRP sometimes complains about no rom installed after system format and new rom flashed but it's all good. It'll shut up on next recovery boot.

It's another story if you do partial OTA or similar...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SUPERUSER:
Good information!

I am using nova too and it's not the launcher that's slow but the system that lags.

I'll keep experimenting and see if I can manage to find some combination that will get rid of the lag.

The phone force closes again on the same rom on a clean flash from recovery.

I'm kind of thinking it was your tip to wipe in fastboot that solved this.

I'll get back to it tomorrow.. I need a break from all this technology
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] omer919:
Im going to type this once again,

Do not wipe the system partition before installing xiaomi.eu !!

Now, why?

unlike anyother rom, xiaomi.eu is a patch rom!

it acts as a system update to the current miui rom that you are on.

so for example if you are on 8.9.6 China Beta, it will install as a MIUI update allowing to make changes and more to the MIUI system.

if you wipe the system partition before installing the xiaomi.eu rom, the xiaomi.eu rom will install incorrectly and you will have many bugs! they wont give you any support if you wipe your system partition before installing their rom.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ald47:
Nonsense!!! It's a lot more fun if you wipe it! Plus you learn a lot more about phones, ROM's, Android, MIUI, etc ??

No really though, don't wipe it.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] trabando:
I had mi max 2 and always wiped system before flashing xiaomi.eu. Is this only for Mi max 3?? I never had problems before.

Other questions

1. At the start I installed China device 8.8.9, after Xiaomi.eu and it's update. Then my phone remaining with base of 8.8.9 , even if I update every time xiaomi.eu ?

2.when I update xiaomi.eu, what is the steps to not lose my data

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nijel8:
Sorry to disappoint you but you are all wrong. Xiaomi.eu and MIUI for that matter is no different than any rom out there. As a matter of fact system format is done by the flash process before the new system image is written to the partition. This is not an update to the existing system...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SUPERUSER:
Update:

"fastboot erase userdata" is what is needed to get the latest rom booting without force closes on everything before I can get to the setup wizard
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cobben:
But there is a difference between recovery ROMs and fastboot ROMs.

All those extra MB that Xiaomi has in the fastboot ROMs but not in the recovery ROMs have to go somewhere when you flash it. So Xiaomi.eu ROMs probably also lack whatever extras that Xiaomi has in its fastboot ROMs.

Granted, that stuff is probably not installed to the system partition.

I have sometimes wondered if that is the Chinese CIAs backdoor facilities and other good stuff . . .
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nijel8:
You could say the same for MIUI recovery rom... Lacks everything extra extra the fastboot one has.

In normal situations you don't need the extras. Recovery rom is sufficient if you have recovery to flash it.

Fastboot rom is needed only when you are going for a major change like switching between Chinese and Global roms and vice versa, or experience major hardware bugs like sensors don't work or act weird, etc, or device recovery in EDL.

Xiaomi.eu does have fastboot version... It's the whatever Chinese MIUI fastboot version it is moded from... :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cobben:
And now we also have official Russian Stable Roms, even fastboot variants.

Only for the newest devices, no developer versions as far as I can see. Sold by select retailers in the RF apparently.

http://ru.miui.com/a-234.html

So much to choose from, so little time . . .

These are, according to rumours on 4pda at least, made from the Global versions, and have Yandex services included.

Yandex is the RFs Google, not surprising.

Do they have the mandatory KGB backdoors?:cyclops:
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nijel8:
Yeah, when I first heard about the Russian version I thought great... Xiaomi is expanding officially to the Russian market so eventually they will really expand world wide.

Now hearing about Russian internet services built in I see the truth. Russia and China becomes almost the same in regards to Internet freedom, I mean restrictions so that looks to me more of a China rom for Russia compliant with all the government restrictions. Not good...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cobben:
Russia is freer than China, but TPTB would obviously like to do a lot of what China does. If you have followed the Telegram blocking fight.

But Russians are a lot less subservient then the Chinese, so we shall see, said the blind man.:cool:

I guess that Xiaomi has tried to put itself into a position where it can move in several directions, perhaps at the same time, depending on future events. Not stupid.

Addendum:

Xiaomi is well established in the RF, with on-line shop, service centers in most bigger cities, and assorted retail outlets.

https://mi-shop.com/ru/

Max 3 is not available now, but I think I saw somewhere a rumour that a Russian Stable ROM is in the works for it.

If you like you can move from the RF site to several post-Soviet countries like Belarus, Kazakhstan, but even Suomi & Latvija.

The Finnish site seems to be up and running, but no service centers or retailers. Prices do not seem attractive. The Latvian site says only "opening soon".

After I flash 8.9.6 from 8.8.30 I get problems with "stop working" Google stuff, like Playstore, Service, Gboard and even Youtube. The phone reboot and reboot so I flash 8.9.6 official China beta over fastboot/MiFlashTool, format data over fastboot, TWRP and 8.9.6 from Xiaomi.eu again.

Anything works but when I go to call, settings and "record all calls" the phone stop working and just reboot and reboot, after few reboots it shows fastboot mode and nothing happen. I shut down the phone, wait few min. and it reboot, set sim card in and only reboot again.

Now I try to flash with fastboot rom the official 8.9.6 again, over Mi Flash Tool and first error was "to many links", the second try give me a "GetVar Variable not found".

Before that I try to reflash xiaomi.eu with TWRP and it shows error signal: 6

I bought this phone from geekbu and it comes with fake rom. One times, with 8.9.6 xiaomi.eu rom Firefox crash/stop working and the funny thing is it shows a other device (look at the picture).

I never wipe/format system or vendor partition but for now I think something is left from the fake rom but I have no idea and never have problems like this.

Fastboot works (fastboot devices show device) and I can boot in TWRP (official). fastboot format userdata works but after that TWRP can't mount /data (error what ever I do). On Mount I cant choose Data. I need to bring it back from f2fs to ext4 than it shows up again in TWRP.

Edit: and when I now try to flash 8.9.6 eu it shows error 7.

What I can do? View attachment 4594344

First you can try flashing Max 3 rom instead of MIX 2S one...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Klanac89:
I flash 100% Mi Max 3 ROMs only over fastboot.

My new PC (switch to Ryzen and X470 board) won't work under Windows 10 anymore, when I try to use fastboot, only under Linux it work. I have no idea why but it shows "press any key to continue" and device reboot.

So I have a old old Notebook, with Windows 7 and I use this for things like that. It's really old and lame but helps a lot.

1. When I get the Max 3 with fake ROM, I flash 8.8.9 fastboot China - no problems at first try

2. When I get the problem with 8.9.6 I flash official China 8.9.6 fastboot - also no problems and first try works.

I don't delete any files on this notebook, so the first and the second fastboot roms are Max3 ROMs (I check it again)

Also all .zip files I use are Max3 xiaomi.eu ROMs (also check) because I use a USB stick for that and didn't delete any file.

The strange thing is... I use the same notebook, same cable, same version of Mi Flash tool, same port and anything when I flash 8.9.6 (2) and I only get error.

First: To many links

Second: GetVar

And now I test it again, Mi Flash Tool sad "Error flashing partition".

I just activate "record all calls" and this happen. The screenshot was before I flash 8.9.6 fastboot. I open Firefox clear, switching to landscape mode and "Firefox clear stop working".
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nijel8:
I see MIX 2S rom fingerprint on your screenshot!?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Klanac89:
This is what me makes so confused...

First time Google stop working and after reflash anything works. Second I only set "record all calls" and the phone stop working.

Firefox crash in landscape and this was the first time I can click on "send report" but I can't make screenshot, so I made this picture with other phone.

Maybe from the fake ROM? I have no idea and didn't know what I can do :(
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nijel8:
If that's your current rom fingerprint then definitely it's a "fake" one.

I did a noob thing.

Idk what exactly I did, but I f'd up. Duno if I accidentally tried to go back in fw (with anti rollback) or wiped system or what - but now my Max 3 won't turn on. Screen remains black.

I hear it make a noise when plugged into my windows pc when I press and hold power (by itself or with a combo of volume buttons), but the screen never lights up and I can't get it to show up on my PC at all.

Any suggestions or threads I need to read?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cobben:
Just musing . . .

1. Xiaomi.eu has on a rare occasion used a "wrong" device identifier name to get things to work, don't recall where that was just now.

2. Does the Miflash tool make connections with something over the internet?

Is that where the "too many links" comes from, did it mix the device name up that way?

Or is it a completely offline thing?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Klanac89:
Like I sad, I flash official 8.9.6 china beta fastboot with MiFlash Tool, than all steps to xiaomi.eu 8.9.6 and use the phone few days without any issue. So 100% no fake ROM and 100% Mi Max 3 ROM.

After I set "record all calls" in the settings the phone say good bye, just reboot.

Fastboot work, phone is unlocked and TWRP boot but now MiFlashTool will not flash fastboot ROM (same files, same hardware and same settings).
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cobben:
You could try downloading a fresh copy of the MiFlash tool, maybe your existing copy has been corrupted somehow.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cobben:
That Miflashtoolpro seems to be "made in Vietnam".

I have never used it, and haven't used the official tool since last winter on my wife's new Note 3, so I am no expert.

But I would be careful using anything unofficial for rom flashing in these interesting times:
