Hello guys. ARB still confuses me a lot. I am using xiaomi.eu 10.0.6.0 OEDCNFH and wanted to know if I can install version 8.11.15. What confuses me is not the concept of ARB, but the numbers in ROM's, because I never know which is equivalent to another. Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] GEoMaNTiK:
I'm with you on this... Firstly I get that Xiaomi are trying to protect China only released devices with ARB but they could at least get some consistency on the ROM version numbers.

I'm also using xiaomi.eu 10.0.0.6.0 but I'll wait until they release Pie and decide what to do next.. not that the numbers will be any clearer.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gregor250385:
U are on stable release. 8.11.15 is a beta rom. Its nothing confusing about it :) Beta's are released every week with more futures and sometimes bugs. I have china model mi max 3, and went from china stable to eu rom betas. It works very smoothly. Next weekly eu rom will be based on Android 9 pie :) and yes u can install 8.11.15 by TWRP flash. Good luck

Hi guys,

On some posts of the Xiaomi.eu forums it is said that xiaomi.eu has removed ARB protection.

That was even said in an answer posted by the founder of xiaomi.eu.

Is that true is is that a fake news ?

If it is, I might move from 8.8.9 to a newer one...

If not, I'll stick to 8.8.9 and will wait to see if removing the files in the updater .zip does indeed avoid triggering ARB on my device.

It is not that I plan to flash a lot of "older ROMs", but if one of the newer ones fails... we're stuck :(

Thansk for your answers.

Regards.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
So, the way it works is like this. If you're on ARB xiaomi.eu rom, then you can restore and go back to previous xiaomi.eu ARB roms - this has been confirmed and tested thanks to the laggy pie update. Telegram users tried it, hated it, and were able to restore to their latest xiaomi.eu Oreo ARB rom via twrp backup. Just make sure to delete the locksettings file in twrp before you restore.

I believe the bricking situation applies if you try to go from these ARB roms to NON-ARB (8.8.9 eu etc).
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SUPERUSER:
Thank you, that clears things up.

Now I get it and I understand the risks.

Your reply about arb is the most clear and easy to understand yet :good:
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SUPERUSER:
Im on the pie build and first good news is that its possible to set dpi lower than "smallest width is 531 which is around 324dpi".

I set it on 545 and there is no black bar appearing in the navigation bar or a bar overlapping the notification icons as it did on treble pie roms

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77982936&postcount=97

Edit 1:

Themes app also work.

No issues with this app either as reported on the xiaomi eu forum

Edit 2:

"smallest width" before triggering tablet mode is 597
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] crixus937:
Little update about arb.

I've changed from 8.8.9 eu to 29.11 eu directly.

In hex editor file 'mmcblk0p48' in value "1448" shows in both versions in my case 1.

So if I understand correctly it didn't trigger arb.

It won't go back, but it would be nice if somebody confirm.

Screenshots from hexeditor in attachment

App Easy doing changer doesn't work, so the only way is changing smallest width value in developer settings

ONLY XIAOMI.EU

Ill state about ARB and add it to the thread later:

Any version that isnt 8.8.30

DOESNT HAVE ARB!

Thats means that if you flash it your ARB number wont change

8.8.30 DID HAVE ARB and if you flashed it (like I did) you got ARB

ONLY XIAOMI.EU

I have an issue....

Trying to disable animations in developer options resets to .5x after every reboot!?

Why is this happening?

Created a file in / named test and the file is gone after a reboot.

Uhhhhhh.............................................

Edit 1:

Animation resetting to .5x was caused by the latest NFS inject beta 3.

Uninstalling the module solved this issue.

Issue persisted with files vanishing even with a clean flash to pixel dust treble rom.

Fixed it by trying to reboot to twrp and copy a file to /data/app and then booting to rom.

Open root explorer and removing the file and reboot.

The file was gone even after a reboot.

Then I made two testfiles, one named test.txt and one test and rebooted.

Both files were there after the reboot...weird thing happening...at least its solved.

Then follow xiaomi.eu instructions to flash the latest Pie zip file and that's it.

I came from stock Chinese on my 6/128, was worried about the process and thought I needed stock Global, now I realise that xiaomi.eu is all I need and is easy to install.

Thank you yery much both of you. :)

Maybe you can answer me another question. In partition section i have two partitions named "Data" and two "Internal Storage" and a "Vendor" partition. (screen under imgur copy "/a/Td1uRxA" after the com)

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] blackxr:
Maybe I can help. You should be on offical CN Rom clean installed with Miflash. Bootloader has to be unlocked. (Reboot your device - if you see unlocked in bottom area of the screen while starting up you are good to go)

You need drivers for your device on your computer.

Now install "Minimal ADP and Fastboot" to your computer.

Browse to the "Minimal ADP and Fastboot" folder on your computer. Copy the "recovery.img" (Link in Post #32) to this folder.

Now oben cmd window in your "Minimal ADP and Fastboot" folder. (shift+right click -> open command window here)

Boot your device to fastboot mode (Press vol down + power till you see fastboot logo)

Connect your device to your computer.

Type in command window "fastboot devices" to check if it is connected

Now type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to install TWRP

Now type "fastboot boot recovery.img"

Your device will now boot into TWRP recovery.

In TWRP select "Wipe" -> "Advanced Wipe" -> tick "Data" and hit "Repair or change file system" -> select "f2fs"

Now go back and hit "Reboot" -> "Recovery"

Your device will now reboot to TWRP again. Now you should be able to wipe cache, dalvik etc. (follow the instructions)

Mount all possible partions under "mount"

Now go to "Install"-> "enable mtp" and connect your device to your computer. Open the device folder, create a new folder and copy xiaomi.eu ROM to this folder.

Browse to "Install" select xiaomi.eu ROM an install. After its finished press wipe cache/dalvik and reboot your device.

-> This worked for me. I hope this helps

cheers

I know with the xiaomi.eu ROM there is no need to wipe, just data partition, nothing more.

2. Flash official TWRP and boot with fastboot TWRP

3. Wipe > Advanced > Data

4. Install > xiaomi.eu ROM

5. Wipe delvil/cache

6. Reboot
