Yes, it was TWRP problem. Today I flashed the latest TWRP 3.2.3.-3 which supports OTA and after that official MIUI OTA update went through without a problem. I lost root so just had to flash Magisk again and enable Camera2API. But delighted I didn't have to reinstall the whole system and apps again :)

I guess it should also work - as I didn't install it through TWRP by flashing manually, I just got OTA notification and rebooted, phone went to TWRP and installed update, rebooted and that's it.

New global stable update package.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] IvoLP:
Hi guys.

I noticed one big for me problem with pie update.

When I try to make a picture with the camera( doesn't matter front or rear) the camera needs time around 3 sec to save it on my sd card(128GB), and if I have luck to save it and I try to open it from gallery button from the camera app, the camera freeze and crash. Sometimes when I took a photo and I try to see it in the gallery, the photo is not there. Other problem is that when I activate HDR the pictures become very blurry and with low resolution and quality.

Can someone please help me?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SmokinJohnny:
I would recommend you change the camera setting to save to internal storage to see if it fixes it. On top of the usual things like reboot, check/format/swap memory card, and you clearing cache on camera app.

Strange because I'm buying the phone from xiaomi official store on AliExpress and they have global ROM. I don't think it's fake?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] coolgen1:
Yes, I would like to know the answer to this too.

This whole 'fake' rom has me confused. I got a message from a Mi Max 2 user who said the same thing happened when that phone was released with a 'global' rom before the 'official' one.. yet it still got the OTA updates from Xiaomi so he was unsure whether these roms are really 'fake' or maybe some sort of pre-official beta/custom rom from Xiaomi.

I also checked with the xiaomi store where I bought mine in Cambodia and they assure me it is Xiaomi rom and it will get OTA updates..
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] trabando:
xiaomi eu is not official xiaomi. Also.. I don't think the rom is fake. It's real and just not yet released to the public. They can't bring global ROM 2 months after phone launch, doesn't make sense lol.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Baseballjim:
Thanks for all the info in this thread. But i still have some questions.

I ordered also (I expect) the fake rom version. I also got the notification that it can't be delivered at this moment and I have to wait. I was thinking now what is the best option to do.

1) Ask to not flash it to this fake rom. Will it be easier and better to flash it from there to the miui.eu rom? And will it be possible to get the official global rom once launched? Will everything be in chinese and not workable for me as dutch speaker?

2) just receive the version with fake rom. Flash it from there to the miui.eu rom?

And will it be possible to get the official global rom once launched?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jemaho:
As far as I can think I believe the rom is not that fake and is like an rtm version, not yet public. I run it for 2 weeks now and must say I don't experience any particular bug. Don't plan either to reflash. But, it's just my 2 cent opinion.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] omer919:
This rom is confirmed fake.

Its your problem if you stay on it and you will get no support what so ever from xiaomi.

There are many problems with this rom (calls, speaker, buttons touch, wifi, laggs, etc)

all fixed when switching to official rom via MIflasher

Dont make people stay on this rom.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] trabando:
Well I say it's not fake since it will have OTA. I bought from the official xiaomi store so I don't know what you're saying since you haven't posted any proof.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] omer919:
The whole post is about the lie, no you wont get OTA.

And maybe you havent looked back a few pages and looked at the proof?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] maokun:
I'm also with this so called a fake ROM. But I don't have any problems you mentioned at all. All working fine.

Do you even have this phone I wonder?

When you say 'switching to official ROM via mlflasher', do you mean the official Chinese ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] omer919:
1. Yes I do have the phone, (Mi Max 3 4/64 Black)

2. Yes, move to chinese official rom using fastboot mode miflasher and from there to xiaomi.eu
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] The-b:
Thanks for the advise;

I had contact with a salesman on Aliexpress and he assured me that the phone

comes with global ROM in a sealed box straight from the factory.

What should we think about it ?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] maokun:
I understand to move to the Chinese ROM because that's the only official ROM available at the moment.

But then why would you move to Xiaomi.eu? They are not official ROM and you don't get any support from Xiaomi neither, right?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] omer919:

After minute 3:15 it's about the unofficial Global Rom.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] omer919:
that you will get the fake rom with unlocked bootloader
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] omer919:
the worst part about unofficial global rom is the damage it can do to you, and he doesnt say that...

on MI 5X these fake global roms break the bootloader completely and unfixable.

the rom is sometimes built from a global rom of a different device which breaks the partitions and bring even more problems.

fake global roms are made from an unknown dev and you dont know what is in there (viruses, spywares and more)

its pretty sad because xiaomi is the only company who has these kind of problems...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] The-b:
Thanks,

I am convinced and waiting for the official version.

No risks
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] omer919:
well you can do that, OR purchase from TradingShenzhen which offer original china / xiaomi.eu

so even if they send you xiaomi.eu its okay cause that rom is very good and not fake
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dogiex:
Here is proof that it is a fake rom.

Official roms can be bootloader locked and unlocked at free will without bricking the phone. With this rom it is not possible.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] coolgen1:
So does that mean you can't flash this global rom to the official chinese rom? I thought people were saying the bootloader is left unlocked with this global rom.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dogiex:
Yes the bootloader is open when you get the phone and that means it is tampered by the vendor, not Xiaomi. Xiaomi roms can have their bootloader locked if you need it to be locked by your job or bank or other reasons. When you locl the bootloader it is bricked and says the rom can't be installed if you factory reset it. So it's fake.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] coolgen1:
So you can't flash any other rom?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
No, you can flash to Chinese then EU rom just fine. Read the first few pages of this thread. It's all explained.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] coolgen1:
Thanks, I thought so but got confused with Dogiex post which suggested otherwise: 'When you locl the bootloader it is bricked and says the rom can't be installed if you factory reset it'
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dogiex:
Yes you can flash roms but if you lock your bootloader then you brick the phone which will not happen in official roms.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tuddu:
Question. Are there other users who experienced problems in GSM line expecially in those areas where the radio signal is very low and the radio doesn't connect to network so that you become offline. And then you can't reconnect to network unless you switch to airplane mode on then off (or you reboot the phone)? Other situation (similar): anyone having problem again with the GSM radio: if you dial a number (2 lines of signal) the phone try to connect for 20 seconds to the network and then inform you that it can't connect and can't compose any number (you are like offline). But the signal says 2 lines....

That's the problem with the fake rom. It was in the YouTube review too. That GSM network very worst and no call.

On an Italian forum one user received the Max3 with the CHINA STABLE 9.6 and performed several tests related to the GSM radio. He didn't experienced any problem on signal and calls. Upon my demand he tried to leave the phone in a not GSM covered area for several minutes (no signal at all) and then placed the phone on the open area, and the phone regained the signal in some minutes (reasonable time). Then he tested the tell callings in other areas not well covered (low GSM signal) and never lost a call or never been off line.

Are you sure you're in fastboot mode? Volume - and power at the same time?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] 4z4:
Yeah, 100% sure. In the MiFlash app it finds my device when I press "refresh". If I press "refresh" again, the phone gets out of the Fastboot mode for some reason.

My bootloader is already unlocked so that should not be the issue. I tried using different USB ports on my PC but that didn't help.

Same result as before; it tries to flash forever without success.

If I press "refresh", it finds my device ---> then if I press "flash", the phone gets out of Fastboot and small text appears on my phone: "press any key to shutdown". I can only try flashing if I press "flash" first without pressing "refresh" at all.

As far as I know your only option is to wait the 7 days. Out of interest which instructions did you follow when flashing the Chinese ROM? I think Omer has done a great job but he also needs to warn people when flashing the Chinese ROM not to select the default option of 'Flash and lock bootloader'.

If the seller unlocked the bootloader by using unofficial tools, the bootloader will be relocked whatever option you choose.

It's a good practice to lock the bootloader with china ROM and unlock it again with your own Mi Account to avoid situations like the following:

Ah, that is interesting. It seems sellers must have got wind of how bad the fake Global 9.6 is and have started installing the later beta which will no doubt have less issues.
