Im thinking about switching from Global Stable to Global Developer ROM (based on suggestions here) but am wondering if my banking apps and android pay will still work?
I like the fact that the global dev gets weekly OTA updates. But what will happen when the phone starts getting a bit older, will they still release weekly updates? Also is it possible to easily switch back to global stable rom in the future (like when Global Stable is on a new release)?
As far as I am aware, it should support android pay. I have the global developer ROM installed (switched from global stable to developer which is very easy and doesn't even need a full wipe), but I also installed magisk so I could hide root and it allowed android pay to work.
I believe you need to unlock your bootloader to switch from global stable to global developer and an unlocked bootloader will cause android pay to fail. I don't see why you can't re-lock the bootloader once you are on developer though.
As for the weekly OTA updates, they are "usually weekly". The latest developer ROM came out October 12th if I remember correctly and there hasn't been another one since. But I think that this is likely due to no major changes occurring. There was a release on the 19th, but the changes didn't affect our phone (5s plus) so we have not got that release yet. There should be a release today, but I only see one for the china developer ROM.
I do see that the global stable should be coming out November 2nd. So if you are wanting to go to developer just because it is "new and shiney", may as well wait for the 2nd and grab the global stable.
You can swith from global stable to global developer very easy. Just download the rom from miui.com then go to updater. Then click on the 3 dots and choose "choose the update package" so no root and no unlocked bootloader. But it wipes all your data so do a backup.
Google do certify only stable ROMs so Android Pay will not work on Global Developer ROM out of the box.
I have tested this at my own phone with vanila Global Developer ROM, locked boot loader and no root.
Other banking software may work or may doesn't work. It depends of the software vendor and what verification they are making.
I rolled back to Global Stable to avoid mess with Android Pay.

So, I've got the OTA notification for v11.0.4.0, but have been holding off updating, because I know it's still android 9, and I can't be bothered to sort out the mess it will cause for magisk if I update, so have been waiting untill the android 10 version of miui is available, but, I've not got an update notification for that yet. Is v11.0.4.0 a prerequisite for v11.0.3.0?
I'm considering just flashing the global build outside of the official update methods, but that will probably cause me more issues than its worth.
I believe the only ways to update to Android 10, is to flash the other update in between via OTA or, fastboot the Android 10 files.

Hello,
I'm new to Xiaomi world, and i want to understand some points :
I have a Xiaomi 10 Ultra with MIUI 12.0.15.QJJCNXM Stable by xiaomi.eu installed by the Trandingshenzen + TWRP 3.4.2b-0623 wzsx150
Today i received an OTA notification for the update to 12.1.1.0.RJJCNXM
I need some answers to understand how Xiaomi world works :
1-What is my rom exactly ? official, no-official, fan-build ...
2-Base on the first question, the OTA i recevied is Official also or other variant (no-official, Fan-build) ?
3-As i have a custom recovery and unlocked bootloader, the OTA can be installed on my phone or it will brick my phone ?
4-If answer to question 3 is yes(OTA Installed), am i loosing the TWRP or not ? (Important question)
5-If answer to 3 is No, how can go get OTA updated ? (maybe flashing a full rom will be a solution, this will make me loosing all data ? and TWRP also ? )
Last one 6-which are official/Stable roms available for the Mi 10 ULTRA beside chinese orignal one ?
Thanks a lot guys for your understanding and your help.
Regards,
1-What is my rom exactly ? official, no-official, fan-build ...
It is the stable ROM branch. It is based on the official latest stable Chinese version, so as near official as it can get.
2-Base on the first question, the OTA i recevied is Official also or other variant (no-official, Fan-build) ?
Any OTA downloaded version will be the next stable released version based on the above answer.
3-As i have a custom recovery and unlocked bootloader, the OTA can be installed on my phone or it will brick my phone ?
You will not brick your phone by using OTA notified updates. I would remind you to use a pattern screen lock currently as the pin or password versions may not work with your twrp version. It won't hurt if you try but as it won't decrypt your ROM, you can't update, so just reboot system and change screen lock to pattern and try again.
4-If answer to question 3 is yes(OTA Installed), am i loosing the TWRP or not ? (Important question)
As long as you stay on EU ROMs, your twrp will remain. If you change branch to Chinese stock, it will be removed. But you would have to do this manually, so you would know. Your OTA updates will remain EU.
5-If answer to 3 is No, how can go get OTA updated ? (maybe flashing a full rom will be a solution, this will make me loosing all data ? and TWRP also ? )
If you flash the same branch ROM manually, you need to just wipe dalvik and cache. However if you decide to go to weekly, beta, branch ROMs or back to stock Chinese, you would then need to Format due to possible partition differences between them. If you don't, it may boot loop.
Last one 6-which are official/Stable roms available for the Mi 10 ULTRA beside chinese orignal one ?
Currently only one custom ROM is available and that it EU versions, either stable or weekly, beta. There was another available but that was based on the EU ROM but more like an ASOP ROM. However, it looks like further development has now stopped.
Thanks a lot for your prompt answer, very clear.
So basically the branch rom MIUI by Xiaomi.eu has it own OTA system, which gonna update to the new MIUI by Xiaomi.eu and keep my TWRP as before (just need to decrypt rom when installing) ?
I saw that you have also a Xiaomi 10 Ultra, which rom are you using by the way ?
thanks again for your time
Yes, that's right, its own OTA will keep it on the same branch using twrp.
I use the EU weekly or beta branch of ROM. I've never had any show stoppers in the updates and obviously got A11 earlier and miui12.5 too. It's taken from the Wednesday Chinese nightly each week, converted to EU format and ready normally by Friday and for OTA on Saturday evening. Due to in house testing and Chinese holidays, it sometimes doesn't update every week but not far off.
If you decide to change to weekly, then you will need to format once flashed but after that and as long as you stay on it, just dalvik and cache wipes after each update. Again, please remember that twrp may not be able to decrypt the phone for updating unless you use a pattern screen lock.
Enjoy your phone, I came from. Huawei P40 pro plus due to Google issues and use at work but this phone is pretty much as good, if not better. Lots of people here and over at the Xiaomi EU forums to answer any questions.
thanks a lot, very kind from. Just updated to OTA android 11 Miui 12.1.1.
(My TWRP decrypt both ways : Pin and Pattern, i tried both)
Was hoping to get P40 Pro also, but as they dont provide bootloader unlock anymore so i get the Ultra which is way better until now.
cheers
Just want to check with people what MIUI version they are on? Perferably for users in the UK. My MIUI version is 12.0.6.0 Stable?
I was under the impression that I should be on 12.5 by now and Android 11. I check for updates everyday and nothing seems to be found.
Just want to check this is the case and I haven't got an issue with my phone.
I really want to swap to a ASOP ROM based on 11 but want the 108mp camera to work, but no ROMS seem to offer this other than the Official MIUI, or the ROMs do not advertise it at least.
Hopeing someone can tell me if I should be on a later version number or not.
TIA
12.5 isn't stable yet but there should be an OTA for Android 11 yeah. You could flash the zip manually even with locked bootloader by using the "select zip" method.
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.2.5.0.RJAEUXM/miui_CMIEEAGlobal_V12.2.5.0.RJAEUXM_2cfe45c9d1_11.0.zip
Here's the recovery zip
Xiaomi.eu is probably the best ROM for keeping Google pay etc. and I can confirm it has the 108mp mode.
I just installed the android 12 on my phone through the OTA this morning not with oxygen updater and first thing I noticed was the unlocked bootloader warning is gone even though I do have a unlocked bootloader and even checked that it is still unlocked. Next thing I noticed is that the processor in settings shows 855 instead of 888. That makes me wonder if I got a beta install instead of the stable one. The build number is LE2115_11_C.36. Do I have the stable version?

I got the same build and was wondering same thing. Global unlocked op9.. Seems as if it would begin with 12 in the build . And I can't gain root through latest magisk.
Wonder if anyone else is having these issues. Went from T-Mobile to EU version, updated to C33 last night and I still have horrible battery life.
Phone has a massive battery drain and when I restart takes over 5 minutes to connect to cell service, sometimes even longer.
Any thoughts? Thinking of going to a custom rom

My first post on XDA forums. but just reflash using the TMO msm tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4180981/ choose OOS 11.0.7.9 then use the TMO to EU msm tool again, unlock the bootloader using the unlock.img you got from oneplus then run through the setup after this internal storage wont be wiped. then download the oneplus updater tool. turn on advanced mode, go for the stable full version but instead of choosing your device as the EU version, choose just oneplus 8T that way you get the international version. install full OOS update. not increments. Then just update to the latest android 12 from settings, about phone and update. if you want to stay on android 11 then make sure that you do all those steps again before using the updater app to upgrade to android 12. just install the latest OOS update from oneplus 8t repo ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-8t-rom-ota-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.4193183/ ) 11.0.13.13: OnePlus8TOxygen_15.O.31_GLO_0310_2202182359 go to settings and search for update. click on the cog and choose the OOS 11 update. Sorry if I made any grammer mistakes. If you want root I'll reply with the easiest way I found to root oneplus 8T. The latest update too.

thanks for the reply, so the International version is the better build? I submitted for the bootloader unlock key. Still waiting.
thanks
Technically you can already flash regular kebab 2005 without unlocking the boot loader unless you want to have root. Just download the full update from oxygen updater and locally update to the INTERNATIONAL version without boot loader unlocked.
