Of course - sorry it took me so long but had to get the kids to bed!

Started at step 3 - setup and link Xiaomi account. I also installed miflash just in case it had any drivers that windows needs. But I didn't use the tool

Step 4 enabled all the USB debugging

Step 5 and 6 download TWRP, renamed to recovery.img, and ADB fastboot (I needed the 1.4.2 install because the latest did not work on my PC. )

Step 7 I also downloaded the package install of adb so not the minimal version, this can be started with the icon it creates.

Step 8 load fastboot and connect to PC

Checked for unlocked bootloader using fastboot oem device-info (never hurts to be careful!)

Format user data didn't work for me kept getting an error so I skipped it.

Rest of the steps 9-12 no change, I just used a different Xiaomi.eu ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] hnascimento:
It worked! Thank you very much!!

Now I'm just building courage to change the rom. I'm so scared to brick my phone! haha

What is exactly the modem bug on the fake version? For my very simple usage, I'm really considering stay on the fake rom for safety "messing with the phone" reasons.

Hi. Some doubts.

To do those steps it's a must? To install Xiaomieu 8.8.9 needs to install first the China version in that order?

Also in the offered links. That one from Android file host show more than one Xiaomieu 8.8.9. Wich one it's the right one?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
Yes, it is in order to start fresh if you're on 9.6.4.0. You don't need to do the ext4 to f2fs if you don't want to. If you need more help, let me know. Scroll down to the mi max 3 download. See pic below:

I didn't bother flashing China stable first. So far seems to be no issues.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dimequetedire:
This one just get me curious. Getting a Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Chinese Version can we convert it into a Global one?. Cause as I read it's the same hardware right? So using those incredibles softwares and tools is that possible? I'm almost new into this cause I was use to just open the box, get the SIM card and go, so to hand all this with my Chinese Version it's kind of scary every time that I must go and change anything.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] THFourteen:
Do you want to use the phone in English or a different language? If you want English you can stay on the China ROM. It's easy to remove all the Chinese apps.

Hello,

I am currently on 10.0.1.0 Global Stable (Anti: 4) and want to flash the latest Xiaomi.eu weekly. Am I right that the EU roms don't have ARB? So when I want to go back I can safely flash 10.0.1.0 Global Stable fastboot rom again using MiFlash?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
No, the latest eu roms have ARB because they had no choice - modem etc was broken without it in the firmware-update folder. If you flash anything after 8.8.30 (I think this is where ARB started), you'll have ARB.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mierlo420:
[MENTION=1871034]opasha[/MENTION]

Is there a way to check the ARB version of a EU rom file?

And for example if a EU rom also has Anti: 4 (which I have now), then it's possible to flash back to 10.0.1.0 fastboot rom?

"Anti: 4" is currently the highest ARB level am I right?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
Yes, you have arb. I don't recall how to check in the zip itself. I just know after 8.8.30 eu, ARB became enabled.

Any fix for lockscreen notifications bug on 8.8.9 Beta?

Notifications does not work properly.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] the_rebel:
Hey Mate, After using this ROM for a while, these are the issues I've noticed:

- Auto-brightness is buggy/jumpy. so much that I had to create a Tasker profile that takes a weighted average of 3 Lux values at 200 ms intervals and then sets the brightness at my custom values. It's better, but sometimes the profile doesn't activate on screen ON (I suspect MIUI hampers Tasker even though I've whitelisted it so it doesn't get killed)

- The volume OSD looks broken with blue bar hanging outside of it's container (I'll try to attach a screenshot)

- Some weird crashes like 'Timezone' .. no idea what that comes from

- Whatsapp notifications keep popping on top of other apps (I want to turn off those hovering notifications system-wide, or at least app-wide, but haven't found a way)

Have you faced similar problems? Auto-brightness bugs me most, and I hope it's not a hardware problem.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] the_rebel:
Attaching screenshot. Sorry about separate post, it wouldn't let me attach to previous one.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
1) Auto Brightness can be buggy, I agree. I rarely use it except at night before bed. I usually set mine manually (saves battery life). Sometimes the brightness bar as I adjust doesn't follow the finger swipe correctly and makes it appear more than it is - very random hiccup. How are you whitelisting your apps? You need to autostart it, have no battery restrictions, and lock it in Recents - this is the only way they don't get shut down - Miui and Oreo are very aggressive at killing apps.

2) That's just your theme. Some guys suck at making themes. I used to theme, so I know when they get lazy and take shortcuts. Pick a different theme. I recommend Dark V10: http://zhuti.xiaomi.com/detail/ffdf4011-f46a-481e-9c84-af1a8e1717cb

3) I can't speak about Timezone crashes. No issues on my end. Do you have a custom alarm or clock app? Are your date and time settings automatic?

4) Download System UI Tuner in the playstore. It has a feature to get rid of heads up notifications. I can't stand them either.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] the_rebel:
As always, very helpful!

1) Yes, I checked to make sure and I have Tasker whitelisted on all those fronts. Maybe it's just the light sensor hardware or drivers that affect both MIUI and Tasker.

2) You're right! it was the theme - I feel silly for not thinking of that!

3) No custom alarm or clock app. Though I think I'll install google's clock app, it has most compatibility with other apps including Tasker - I have a profile that automatically turns off silent mode when alarm goes off, which is defunct right now. Stupid MIUI.

4) Nice tip about System UI Tuner - is the setting Miscellaneous > General > Heads-Up Notifications the one? It showed as off to begin with, and I haven't seen those floating notifications in a day or two. But they start on their own sometimes. Stupid MIUI.

Thank you!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
You are most welcome!

1) I think MIUI needs better software tweaking. I had issue on Treble rom that I first tried, and Velis Auto Brightness worked very well. Try that app out to test?

2) Haha, it happens, no worries, buddy.

3) Try Timely - it works extremely well and doesn't mess with anything. It just needs to be autostarted and no restrictions for battery saver. I also gave it the relevant permissions (Contacts/Storage), but that's up to you.

4) Miscellaneous > General > Heads-Up Notifications - yes, this is correct. I believe by default when you install system UI tuner, it turns them off. I've never had any issues with it. If you have any issues with it, let me know and we'll figure it out.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] the_rebel:
Velis is a really nice app (I've used it in past), I started using it again, and it worked well. For a while. Then I noticed it'd also not get light sensor updates when I'd turn screen on at times. Just like Tasker. So I figured it's time to look elsewhere for the problem - and I think I found it - I'm using L Speed, and there's a battery setting for Doze 'Disable motion detection'. I turned it off, disabled Velis, and my Tasker profile has been working perfectly since then. I thought that setting only applied when the screen was off. Oh well.

If it keeps working okay, I think I'll stick with Tasker (I prefer the least number of apps running in background) :)

Btw - have you noticed apps losing permissions that you've granted in past on MIUI? I swear I've granted Tasker Accessibility permission close to 10 times!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
Glad you got it figured out :highfive:.

Yeah, MIUI is stupid like that. I've seen similar behavior where I set a default app for video (mx player pro) and it always asks me regardless. Quite annoying.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ralegend:
Is there any release better than 8.8.9?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
If you don't mind ARB, try latest 8.11.15 xiaomi.eu. Most seem content.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ralegend:
Device is on 8.8.9 now. Should I follow these steps? Everything will run just fine?

Installation via TWRP:

- Download zip to internal storage

- Updater - Menu (...) - Reboot to Recovery

- Install - Select zip

- Reboot

- Done
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
Correct. If you have issues, reboot back to twrp and just wipe cache and dalvik cache. Reboot to system.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] the_rebel:
So now that EU Android Pie 9.0 ROMs are out..

1) Is it possible to get them without ARB? Is that what firmware-less ROMs do?

2) Have you tried them?

3) If yes to above, opinions?

Thank you!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] crixus937:
Just install 29.11 xiaomi.eu I tested and it didn't trigger ARB.

Avoid official China and Global, because it triggers ARB.

I tried, not many things changed.

1) Bluetooth finally works properly

2) you can start Assistant with long press power button

3) no more lag in gestures when you switch between apps

4) better text selection, possibility to quickly translate selected text

Overall I recommend upgrading
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] the_rebel:
Possible stupid question - how do you check if ARB is triggered?

fake rom 9.9.9.0

hello guys, so i got this mi max 3 with a fake rom miui 9.9.9.0 .

my question id ; can i apply ur guide on my phone to install xiaomi.eu

thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
Yes, you can, but use the latest xiaomi.eu 9.1.24: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/9-1-24-26.48919/

Use 9.1.24 beta china in Miflash before going to 9.1.24 xiaomi.eu:

http://bigota.d.miui.com/9.1.24/nitrogen_images_9.1.24_20190124.0000.00_9.0_cn_22e8b3647c.tgz

So, instead of using my 8.8.9 links, since you most likely already have ARB, use the 9.1.24 links I gave you. Follow everything exactly the same.

Also, edit your post as to not quote the OP. Just use my user id [MENTION=1871034]opasha[/MENTION] to get my attention. It saves space and reduces clutter. :highfive:

Hi guys need help here.

Im on MIUI 10 Global8.8.3 beta as stock on my Mi Max 3. I believed to be fake rom.

I tried flashing the china rom as per instructed on the 1st page but Miflash doesnt detect my device(the bootloader screen will turn black).

I tried flashing using the updater changing the file to undate.zip but the phone reboot and nothing happens

I tried using the adb to skip miflash also failed. (the bootloader screen will turn black)

Btw im on windows 10. Could this be an issue?

any kind advises will be deeply appreciated !!

My Chinese Mi Max 3 came with an unlocked bootloader and MIUI Global 10.X. I've updated it twice OTA and it's now 10.2.1.0 PEDMIXM. I have lots of issues with the data connection on both 3G and LTE. WIFI doesn't connect as it should and bluetooth is super weird. It drops the connection to my earbuds, and sound over my car stereo is awful. It also skips slightly here and there when listening to podcasts. My Mi Max 1 still works great with all the same devices so it's obviously the phone.

Where would I find the latest chinese stable ROM so I can use this guide to switch to a Xiaomi.eu rom?

This is the first of 10 Xiaomi phones I've ever had an issue with.

Disclaimer - I am not responsible with anything that goes wrong while doing this procedure.

I am on stock and after flashing xposed my USB-otg stopped working.

So here is what i did-

Go to system/etc/permissions and find this file- "handheld_core_hardware.xml"

Add this line -

<permissions> <feature name="android.hardware.usb.host"/> </permissions>

Save the file and reboot.

It might work, though I haven't tried this method in any custom ROM.

Take a backup of that .xml file before editing just in case...

The method recommended on stack exchange didn't work atleast for oreo.

A brief history of OTG with this RR

<> At the onset OTG worked Out of the box. Happy camper

<>After removing device re-inserting it - OTG n/w

<> after a reboot ( ?) I noticed OTG support wasnt enabled

added

<permissions>
<feature name="android.hardware.usb.host"/>

</permissions>

to android.hardware.usb.host.xml located in case of this RR @

/vendor/etc/permissions

and modified handheld_core_hardware.xml by adding

<feature name="android.hardware.usb.host" />

and rebooted .

It let me X'y the file as root without much quarrel

<> After reboot OTG started working and showed up under

/mnt/asec/media_rw where Micro SD card was also listed . But OTG drive did not show up under /storage

<> After removing the drive - OTG Stopped working once again and after reboot even as root I am not able to directly edit any of the above files though above edits are preserved. ( I figure I could overwrite with adb )

Questions :

<> How come without these files in place OTG showed up 1st time I put that drive in

<> How come it ceased to work even after these changes are in place after a reboot.

I confirmed there isn't any entry for OTG partition in partition files ( under proc )

I really appreciate the hard work of the devs but literally Every on on this thread who has installed this RR Oreo version isnt happy about these issues and totally frustrated with no soln coming out and spending long hrs ROM hunting to something that's got "everything working' & is stable can the dev at least tell us what he found out about the OTG bug some of us can take it from here and this ROM's respect will be restored.

<> Any other ROM for M1 Pro out there that

-- Has OTG working as expected & stable

-- Stable on other things like Mic , Speaker , Volte etc

-- Support for vold - ext4 / NTFS like Lineage

I am running out of hope .....
