I did it with beta flashy it's a nice tool. It used the No check recovery method.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wmfreak:
Can you point to the tool? Thanks
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2WildFirE:
Yep I can't find atm the original dl link, but I have it in my drive folder

[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wmfreak:
Thanks

Do you need to be rooted to use it?
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] br54:
Yes
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Smaehtin:
Lucky you, I guess.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2WildFirE:
how did you the update?

imho only dload method will lock the bootloader again
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Smaehtin:
Flashed it using NoCheck Recovery.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2WildFirE:
Hmm that's heavy, I did it with this method before and bootloader was still open
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaunydub:
So none of these methods work unless you root or do something extra to the phone?

None will work for Mr Average to just plug into a pc and update with 2 clicks?
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2WildFirE:
Yep bootloader unlock and root is needed.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaunydub:
Looks like I will wait then.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] javier.pc:
The NoCheck Recovery OP says you obviously need unlocked bootloader, but nothing about root.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaunydub:
I just did a search on XDA and found this in the NoCheck tutorial...

Prerequisites

Unlocked bootloader

Rooted

Backup your data (flashing may cause bootloader to re-lock or restore factory default etc. - don't blame me if it goes wrong!)
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] javier.pc:
You're right; the BKL NoCheck Recovery thread says:

Prerequisites

Unlocked bootloader

Backup your data (flashing may cause bootloader to re-lock or restore factory default etc. - don't blame me if it goes wrong!)

Then, in the Instructions section it says:

Phone should be booted back to system - connect phone via adb and allow root prompt:

adb shell
su

So root is needed although it is not said in the prerequisites.

Thanks.

Lol... The struggle is real.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wmfreak:
Just updates through Funky Huawei
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alorenz87:
Review anyone?
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arrandale:
Still nothing? What is taking Honor so long?
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] thebarraster:
k quick review.

The bad:

Usable but annoying. The task switch screen randomly shuts and stutters when changing tasks, sometimes it doesnt aknowlege apps open at all untill the phone is restarted.

Batterylife seems to be around 25 percent faster at depleting. Basically terrible.

Apps are much slower at opening unless created by huawie or google. I.e all 3rd party apps seem slower, even within the application.

Random reboots. At least once a day.

Face unlock is either to accurate or faulty, have returned to my phone a few times with it unlocked for no reason. Not sure if its picked my face up from a distance and unlocked as i walked away from device.

The good:

Camera seems alot better all round. Picture quality, speed, ai.

Nothing else good im affraid..... Really want to return 8.0 as 9.0 brings nothing worthwhile fo the table and pales in comparisment atm. Hopefully all will be fixed soon.

P.s. is it safe to return to 8.0 using twrp and no check
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2WildFirE:
I have it done with the rollback 168 and nocheck but it was a long way......
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wmfreak:
For me other than small glitches here and there I am loving the update. Smoother, better bayery life, much cleaner UI, Sept security patches, etc
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaunydub:
No beta yet but September patch just received.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masinac85:
Did anyone updated the Beta app? I got update to version 2.2.30 and after installing the app won't start anymore. It just blinks, and won't open.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wmfreak:
I did the same for me. Uninstall and install again and it will work. Or clear cache and data.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaunydub:
Updated Beta app was fine for me, apart from no beta to join. [emoji23][emoji12]
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masinac85:
Yeah, I tried to uninstall and install the older version and it worked. But again after installing the update, the app won't start. I'm using the older version currently.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Santi_SAZ:
Inatall new app beta and clear data and cache in settings => application, will work
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masinac85:
It worked, thanks Santi! I updated the app, and then cleared data and cache. Thank you very much.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jofer97:
Just signed up for the beta trial in Spain, waiting for confirmation, i've seen that the beta finish at 30 november, could it be an aproximate date of the 9.0 official release?
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaunydub:
Still nothing in Germany
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2WildFirE:
+1 here :rolleyes:
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] tdiboy:
Just refreshed within the Beta app and got notification that I can now join the 9.0 Beta program. On C432 in the UK. Just waiting for the "Signed" bar to move to "Joined". Currently 4 out of 200 participants.

Funny how they can't spell their own company name in the description:

"Good news! Your HONER can now join our BETA test for new EMUI which is based on Android 9.0 (pie)."
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2WildFirE:
Today I received beta notification after reinstall system via erecovery.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Santi_SAZ:
Just received in Spain to join BETA program
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] fingery:
Seems to be available for UK this morning. Currently 14/200.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2WildFirE:
Hahaha after Update to 169 beta isn't available.

LOL honor that's really a joke.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] geek78:
Hi,

You have just to disconnect and then connect again to your beta account. Should be there again after
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] javier.pc:
Just updated to 169 a couple of days ago and just since yesterday beta program is available to my device.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2WildFirE:
Won't help. I tried it and tried clean data and cache from beta app. It's gone. OK so no beta for me :laugh:
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Santi_SAZ:
Ya, in France is available since some weeks ago, perhaps they are rolling out country by country
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2WildFirE:
Seems so, but why yesterday it was live and I signet in. Today the 169 update received my phone after the update there is no beta to join in available.... ?

Now will try to downgrade to 168 and see what happen...... maybe it comes back.

yeah after downgrade to 168 all is back and i am accepted. now waiting for download

so if you are in germany, dont upgrade to 169 if you want to jump on pie beta.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jofer97:
Well, I'm accepted and moved to the next point, but i don't see where i can download the 9.0 beta, anyone knows if you have to do something else after Honor accepted you for the trial?
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] tdiboy:
I'm in the same position on mine. All I can think is that it will appear via OTA. Would be good if the beta application actually described the process...
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] FPBoy:
I have installed the Update to 169. After that it was no Beta Project for me, but I have joined it already yesterday on B168.

And now I had Search for Systemupdates in Settings and I have get the Beta Update to Android 9.0 :)
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arrandale:
I'm on 168 and just joined the Beta. Will i still get it if i update to 169?
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] FPBoy:
I have get the Beta with the 169
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2WildFirE:
Thanks you're right. After install the 169 update the beta ota was available
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] FPBoy:
I have installed it. And it works good in the first minutes and I have see the Camera is the same as P20.

Security patch from September

For Info: I have a German device

I will show you Screenshots, but I don't find the Button for Attachments
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jofer97:
For everyone that is suscribed and accepted at the 9.0 beta and still no have the upgrade, i just spoke with the Honor Spain technical service and they said me that the upgrade is gona be available by OTA in a couple of days, maybe can take a little more time but a week as maximum long.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzfan1989:
Yes!

Patiently waiting!
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] br54:
Boooooooo

[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] youtuber123:

[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2WildFirE:
Official via beta invite and Ota
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] geek78:
There is an update this morning, the .108 . I am downloading it
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] youtuber123:
Yes thx, got it too
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arrandale:
Do you have to have Version 2.2.30 of the Beta App to get the Update? I am on 2.2.29 because 2.2.30 doesn't work on my device
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masinac85:
It worked, thanks Santi! I updated the app, and then cleared data and cache. Thank you very much.

Try this, it worked for me.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2WildFirE:
As the project information recive me, I was on 2.2.29 and I joined after that the app update info popped and I update the app with no problems.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jofer97:
The 9.0 Beta came via OTA this morning, i've been worling with Pie all the day and it works perfectly, well maybe in some situation in the multitasking you can notice a very little little little delay but nothing to worrie about. New smooth notifications menu that works well and new volume bar that i'm not very satisfied cause it can be anoying in some situations, but i think it's a matter of time the new volume bar. I'm not gonna talk about EMUI 9.0 because i use Nova Launcher and i'm not really interested in what EMUI can offer to me, i switched for a while just to see the new version and looks good, but still far from android stock so i'm sorry but i'm not gonna waste more time in emui. The camera is another thing that i'm not sure what to say about it, seems that we have new functions like an artificial inteligence mode, well, not surprising but wellcomed. I think the only thing that is really annoying me for the moment is the battery, i barelly can see that is wasting quickley as it was. It's just the first day, let's see how it works in a week of normal use.

[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ballon:
Hi, I could join the beta programm 2 days ago with the official app and all, but I never get the OTA update... I rebooted, re installed the app, cleared data and cache, nothing happened... any tip ?
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Santi_SAZ:
Wait few days, I received the OTA some 2 or 3 days after joined the BETA program
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2WildFirE:
Hey guy's, now seems all are jumped on the pie beta.

Now what do you think about EMUI9 and Pie?

I can say it's very snappy and feel good.
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masinac85:
Not all :crying:
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] tdiboy:
Same here. I got accepted well over a week ago for the beta when there was only 4 in the group out of 200. I'm checking for the update a couple of times a day but nothing. I'm in the UK on 168 with C432. Honor really know how to dangle a carrot to taunt us... ?
[T-Mobile LG G2] AXng:
Anyone know a fix for this issue?

If I turn on Wifi calling, I could not send text ( message kept saying sending....). However If I turn off wifi calling, all text send out OK , but now I have some miss call which go direct to voice mail without phone ring.

Wifi calling fix the miss call issue but could not send text

Please advise

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] zolaisugly:
Try sending APK via Bluetooth....it should show up in notification and let you install, remember to allow 3rd party apps to install from security settings.

I tried installing JUVS HTC Home.v2_1_1005722_s0.cab on my 8525 running the Stock ATT ROM ( 10/16/2007 build ), and it trashed my Device information ( IMEI, memory information, minutes used...all of it ), until I cleared storage and have it reinit everything.

So....what version of the HTC Home plugin are is SAFE to use on Hermes ? Anyone have a link...searches through the Hermes forum have proven....a mission to pour through.

Hint: shouldn't this be in a Wiki somewhere ?

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] samkatta:
Is the 6GB 128GB version exclusive to China?

All the Xiaomi websites that started revealing the Mi MAX 3 on their front page (which should be the international version) list the phone's spec with 4GB 64GB only.

If it's China exclusive will we be able to install the Global ROM when officially released on it as it will be specific to the 4GB 64GB version?

Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] misterk267:
I have a 6/128gb model here in the U.S. - the hardware should actually be identical aside from storage sizes, and I've had no trouble flashing anything. I can't imagine there would be any reason you couldn't flash to your firmware of choice as long as your bootloader is unlocked.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] samkatta:
Thank you very much for your reply.

However, that is the case now as there is no Global Firmware officially available, but how if when this Global Firmware was released and intended only for the 4GB 64GB it might cause problems if it was installed on the 6GB 128GB if it was going to address the phone's memory sectors differently than the 4GB 64GB memory sectors.

The main question here is: are there two different firmwares for both versions or it's only one universal firmware that is used for both versions with different memory capacity?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] nijel8:
Same SoC, same code name, RAM and storage size doesn't mather so same firmware/rom for both...

Have you seen different roms listed for both versions anywhere?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] psygnosi:
We can actually take this a step further. Since the redmi note 5/pro has basically the same internals as the mi max 3(less USB type c, larger screen), how hard is it to modify the Note 5 pros global stable rom to accommodate the mi max 3? The only reason for not going this route is to go directly to Android 9(Pie) development. My two cents.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] misterk267:
If the two versions of the phone were different enough to require different firmwares, then they would have different code names - signifying what firmware to use for a device is one of the functions of a code name. Since they are both simply "nitrogen," this means they should take identical firmware. I've had a lot of phones and modded them all, and spend quite a bit of time reading forums for devices I don't own but am interested in, and if the two versions take different firmwares despite having the same code name then this will be the very first time I've heard of it happening. I am 99.9% sure that both phones will take the same firmware.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] rathian:
Yes, 6gb/128gb is a China exclusive and won't be released globally. same goes for blue variant. Any 6/128 "global" edition is likely to be a fake rom with forced unlocked bootloader. So u guys should beware.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] samkatta:
So, the important question now, can we re-lock the bootloader on the 6GB/128GB China version after installing the official global firmware on it? because some have mentioned that the phone returns itself to unlocked state again after doing this.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Pako2018:
Could you please tell us where we can find official source or confirmation for this claim?

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] uche715:
I have waited so long for the 128GB Global Version and am starting to warder if it will truly come.

Please would you advise me to buy the Global ROM or still wait for the Global version as am not sure it will Come?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] MrColdbird:
Coming from a 6gb/128gb owner: just buy the damn thing if you want it.

I personally don't regret it, saved myself the wait for the bootloader unlock, and would have installed Xiaomi.eu anyway, even if I had went for the "global" version.

Last but not least: there are no modem differences between the global and chinese model, so why wait if you end up getting the same band support anyway?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] opasha:
Agreed 100 % from a 6gb/128gb owner on 8.8.9 xiaomi.eu.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Jaberwocky64:
6/128 Gb Gold version here as well, on the so called unofficial unlocked 9.6.4.0 dodgy global rom. Been using it , giving it a hammering over the last couple of weeks.Fast and stable...no bugs to report.Not bothered in trying to update it.Everything seems to be doing what i want of it.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] samkatta:
There will not be a Global Version of the 6GB/128GB variant as the phone is already available on the Xiaomi Global website and on the spec only listed is the 4GB/64GB variant.

It's all up to you to decide on which version you want, keeping in mind a couple of things:

First, no need to wait for a Global Version of the 6GB/128GB variant as it's not coming ever.

Second, there is no difference between both variants except for the memory difference (obviously) and how would you like your bootloader be locked or unlocked (with the Chinese version to stay on locked bootloader you'll have to remain on the Chinese Firmware pathway but if you want to go the EUMIUI or IMUI Global you have to unlock the bootloader, however, with the Global Version you can have the bootloader locked while you are on the official Global ROM with OTA updates working normally)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] uche715:
Hi

Good day sir

Please I need to understand you properly on this, am a novice here and am sorry for the way I will put my questions as below.

If I buy the Chinese version from aliexpress 6gb/128gb,would I get regular MIUI update from xiaomi and also newer android update without any tweak on the ROM?

The thing there is am not familiar with locked and unlocked bootloader as am scared of bricking the device at any attempt.

I just want to buy and enjoy my device without any tweak on rom

Also, I do read that the Chinese version, has mix up of language when tunned to English (has English and Chinese writing). How true is it?

Please I need answers before I make an order.

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] samkatta:
If you are not going to modify your phones' firmware and stay on the original firmware then you'll be good to go and you will get regular OTA updates from the official Xiaomi servers but keep in mind that this would be the Chinese firmware pathway all the time for you.

The Chinese firmware has English language but as you said there are some here and there mix up but it will not interfere with your daily use of the device but it's there (you'll find some naming in the menu in Chinese)

The other thing, is that the Chinese version doesn't have Google Play or any other Google services but you can install these easily from an app that is available on a Chinese app store pre-installed on the Chinese version.

So, if you are ok with all of the above you can get the 6GB/128GB version but if you are not feeling much comfortable of Chinese lettering here and there and some Chinese apps on your device then go with the 4GB/64GB version.

By the way, there will not be much difference of performance between the 2 devices (if any at all) if you are wondering about that and for the storage the device has a Micro SD slot and you can have all the storage that you want with that.

Hi,

I will try to make things more clear : ....

I have ordered and received from a known Chinese internet site

(not my first order with them)

"[Official Global ROM]Xiaomi Mi Max 3 6.9 Inch 4G LTE Smartphone Snapdragon 636 6GB 128GB 12.0MP+5.0MP Dual Rear Cameras Android 8.1 5500mAh Type-C OTG Touch ID - Black:"

Before shipping i have inquired :

" Is the "official Global Rom" genuine by Xiaomi or flashed by ********* ??? is the box original sealed or open ???"

The answer was :

"Dear friend,

Thanks for your inquiry

Sorry for the late reply

this item is Official Global ROM by xiaomi

it is packed by original sealed box

please do not worry

Hope you enjoy your shipping!

Best regards

The Phone was received relatively fast @ 9th. October very nice Mi Max 3 very responsive with "MIUI Global 9.x.x.x....."

Few days later got an OTA "UPDATE Alert" to MIUI Global 10.0.1.0 Stable (OEDMIFH)

The update performed in few minutes all looks good up to i found on the XDA site

The link to "Mi Product Authentication" :

https://www.mi.com/en/verify/#/en/tab/imei

I have clicked the IMEI and found this :

Thank you for choosing Xiaomi!

However, the device you purchased is not an official global version and user experience may be affected. Next time, please purchase the official global version of the device through officially authorized channels.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] opasha:
You should never listen to a vendor regarding this information without thorough research. That's why Xiaomi implemented the new 720 hour official bootloader unlock.
