Newest Global Stable Rom: V9.5.18.0.ODGMIFA

The global stable which is floating around is very old, so here's a newer one.
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.5.18.0.ODGMIFA/miui_MIMIX2SGlobal_V9.5.18.0.ODGMIFA_a9e31fa04c_8.0.zip
It might be possible to update to this if you are on older global stable.
Nightly builds are also updated at:
https://funkyhuawei.club/mimix2builds
We have up to May 8 builds now.
I will add stable builds there in the future as well.

Thanks a lot. Is it a fastboot rom?

Not a fastboot rom. Regular OTA zip.

Cool thx!
Could you please provide fastboot ROM version as well?

Hmm do you know if this is flashable within the updater when we have a locked bootloader on the chinese stable (8gb variant)?

It's not. It fails due to region mismatch. It might work if you have an original global phone, but not on Chinese.
For Chinese, only hope of switching to global is unlocking the bootloader.

Just FYI, you can't install it through Updater app as this update is a beta update. Flash it manually with TWRP.
Edit. At least that's what Updater app tells me, I'm on v9.5.4.0 Global.

Thanks for that insight.
I am really pissed at Xiaomi: I am a 5 year Gold user in their forum and once even was a beta tester and admin there, in the Galaxy Note 1 + MIUI days.
When I bought the Mi Mix 2S 8GB variant last Sunday, I logged in with my MI Account, which has unlock permissions since 2 years and I was able to unlock any new Xiaomi phone I ever bought immediately without waiting for confirmation SMS anymore (as the Unlocking permission is on account level, not device level).
Then I enabled Developer Mode and went into "Mi Unlock status" to press "Add account and device". After that I started the unlocker application as usual and tried to unlock, which failed. with the message "Wait 360 hours" which is over 10 days! Damn...
Later I checked the developer settings again and saw another thing "OEM unlocking" which is set to OFF.
TLDR; Do you know if we have to set this to ON as well, before starting the unlocking process?

I set it to on before trying to unlock and my device was unlocked immediately. I'm a Diamond member and was a beta tester in 2017 though so I'm not sure if that makes any difference

From my experience yes, you have to switch it on. I'm pissed off as well, got the device mid-April and got it usable only a week ago on the 3rd of May, as 360h is a heckin' 15 days. Gotta think twice before buying anything Xiaomi again, though Mix 2S is beyond amazing thus far <3

I think that would be theoretically possible:
Set your device's MI Account to an account that already has unlock permissions.
In developer options add the device for unlock permissions.
In developer options turn on OEM unlock.
Unlock.
But never tried. I'm sure xiaomi is banning accounts that unlock too many devices, because thats how they prevent resellers from buying chinese devices and flashing the global rom in big quantities.

Chinese resellers, generally, have been using EDL to flash the global rom without touching the bootloader. But it seems not possible with Mi Mix 2S. I think they're trying to prevent resellers from installing compromised custom ROMs, which is fine, but 15 days is still a long wait.
My account also allows unlocking, but not instantly it would seem, as I got the 15 day wait. I don't have any kind of special account, but I've had it for a long time.
On the Mi Mix 2, I had a 72 hour wait, which I didn't really mind. But 360 hours is a long time!
Anyway, theoretically, if someone offered me their account which can unlock the phone instantly, it would be a gamble. If it turns out it doesn't work to unlock the phone instantly, I think my wait would get reset to 360 hours again.

any news about root?it's working correctly by flash magisk from polaris recovery?

I can confirm to you, that having that option set to ON, in developer options, the result is the same...i got an "WAIT 360 Hours" too.
Got my message text last Sunday, granted me to unlock the device, then when i logged into my Mi Account to unlock it, gave me that message...so, got to wait 360 hours.

When i flash a global rom, is the bootloader still unlocked? Have the china version with unlocked bootloader and xiaomi.eu rom at the moment.

Yes, your bootloader won't relock again and if you relock it you can unlock it instantly again without waiting the 360h.

@duraaraa
Can you find fastboot ROM version of it? That would be highly appreciated.

I'm impressed with the difficulty to release a fastboot version for the Global Rom.

For every build has fastboot version on bigota servers but more difficult to find them than the recovery version

Mi unlock status shows wrong info..

I'm using latest global stable 10.0.5.0 rom.
I unlocked bootloader, installed DM verity patch and installed Pitchblack recovery.
Installed Camera2Api zip and magisk 18.
After these, I looked at the device unlock status at developer settings page.
But, what I see, It shows my device is locked. I can bind account, and I can enable the option gives permission to unlock. It seems my device locked as previous.
But, I checked the status with fastboot commands. And it writes unlock status : true. And I can install everything, root works, Uninstall any program etc. I know the device is unlocked. But, why it shows wrong info (locked) in developer settings?
Did I anything wrong, or is it normal?

I'm having the same problem.

I was also having this problem. but when placing the device in the miunlock, it was unlocked normally.

My device is unlocked too. I can install any rom/update with TWRP without problem. But it shows wrong info (locked) in developeroptions/mi unlock status.

if your device is locked as on the miunlock tool I think you'll have to do it again anyway. mine is unlocked according to the tool. this occurred to me with Redmi Note 3 that in the developer options also showed for some time that the device was locked. it must be a system error because then the correct information appeared.

But I've checked with fastboot method & it showed my device bootloader as unlocked.
BTW Did u get that "your device is unlocked" on the miunlock tool as soon as you connected the device in fastboot ? Or did you also see that "unlock will erase data" warning first ?

I can't wait anymore, and flashed global beta rom 8.12.27 with Miflash tool. But I didn't notice the option "clean all and lock" selected at the bottom. Flashing process finished without any problems.
But my device is now locked again. It shows locked when I checked with fastboot commands.
I can bind account in developer options. I tried to unlock again, but mi unlock tool gives me error: "The phone has not been used for the specified time and cannot be unlocked. Wait for 7 days and try again."
Now I'm waiting for 7 days, after that will try again...

first you have to associate your mi account with the device in the developer options. done that, wait 15 days to use the miunlock toll with device in fastboot mode.

Reference to original issue ..."Mi unlock status shows wrong info.."
i too have same issue on Redmi Note 9S Global version. Perhaps Magisk is trying to hide that the phone is actually unlocked.

Xiaomi redmi note 6 pro unbrick
Xiaomi redmi note 6 pro unbrick without authorized mi account! No need bootloader unlock

Today I realized the same thing on my Poco F2 Pro. Device seems locked. Today I turned to stock ROM from Xiaomi.eu with Mi flash but I didn't choose lock option. I chose clean all and then flashed.
I think it is because of the checkpoint configuration on Mi Flash program. I removed Bootloader -s lock" kind of something before flashing since the previous flash finished a bootloader unlocked kind of error.
Device may see itself as locked since Mi Flash finishes without checking the lock status. It should be try and see result. But I can't do that since I all restored my apps, settings etc.

Unable to unlock bootloader please help

I have old mi account which i used to unlock my redmi note 4 which i replaced with Note 7 Pro.
So i used the same account on Note 7 pro and tried to go to miui unlock website and it redirects me to the download page. I also tried to unlock bootloader but it failed and it gives unlock error-1.
Then i created new Mi account and logged in on Note 7 pro with this new account, but again when i visited miui unlock site it redirects me to download page instead of filling form page.
Please someone help i need to unlock bootloader.

Go to developer options and turn on 'OEM unlocking'. While you are there, go to 'Mi unlock status' and follow the instructions EXACTLY as stated. Use your old Mi Account (which you used to unlock RN4). Download Mi Unlock from the download page and run the software. Follow the steps EXACTLY as stated.
Make sure you have adb drivers installed and working correctly, and also that you have permission to unlock the bootloader.
If you are an active miui forum member (diamond or above) you can unlock your bootloader immediately.

It doesn't work that way anymore (no more forms), first go to your developer settings and enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging, now go to the Mi Unlock option and bind the Mi account, now download the MiUnlock tool and right click and run as administrator, now it should detect your device, if not click on the settings icon in MiUnlock and select install drivers, now once the device is detected, click on unlock device, it would stop at 99% and give you a waiting time of 360hrs or more or less after the waiting period (it usually takes only 7 days) try unlocking again, this time it would be successful but it would format your data so better take a backup

You need to wait 168h after the first unlock try as I show here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83529229&postcount=43
I used google lens on your screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/2AWWd3d.png

Lmao im so impatient
How unlucky, thought i could do it already :C

I got my phone and tried unlocking today. I was told that the waiting time is two times the 168 hours (336 hours or two weeks) which seems to be the norm. Any ideas why?

Weird. Why mine only 7 days ?

How did you find out that you need to wait 7 days ? Where did you read it ? I am asking because everything what show me that software for Windows is only Chinese characters . I use the latest software from the official site and I can confirm that is the same like in the link on second post .
If I receive the Chinese characters it's ok ? Do I need to wait ? Or is something wrong and I need to do something?

I think I've gotten this error message before. It has something to do with your account not being connected for unlocking properly. Make sure :
1. You have find my device on
2. When requesting BL unlock ( from dev options) that your inserted sim card is the same as the one listed in your Mi account
3. Your PC connection is stable
You can also try to translate the Chinese (if you can copy it) :silly:
Hope I helped somehow

After hours and hours of checking and trying different things like cables pc's and different sims cards , i managed to resolve the problem.
i had to log in on the xiaomi mi account and deleted my account and make again the same account so i can unlock my phone
this is if somone have the same problem like me , try another xiami account or delete your account (do backup) and then make it again
solved ,
Now do i need to wait 168 hours, 7 days , if i press again after 4 days ? they will reset the counter ? if i reset the phone ?
or is binded on the mi account is nothing to do with the phone itself?
i attached with the error with problem account and after i done the account again with them

Congrats on solving the problem. When i bought my phone, I reset it a couple of times because of software issues and the counter didn't reset. Only thing to watch out for is that you don't take out the sim you used to activate your Mi account with for more than a couple hours.

Hi, I tried to use a new account to unlock but it stuck at the same page as yours. What should I do?

Download Google translate and press camera and point it to that Chinese writing and you will find out what is the problem . In my case how you can see the print screen the translate saying that find my phone it was activated and I cannot unlock the bootloader with this account. So I deleted the account and I sign up again . Same email same phone number . What I noticed when I log in on the mi unlock software for Windows I saw on the top right the account number has changed . I got different numbers (example 573638942)
After I done done the sign up again I was able to proceed to another step .
This happened to me because the account it was 6 years old and never use it . ( I think)

i got this, what next..?

I got the same . From what I understand in this thread, we need to wait that time and then come back in the same app to get bootloader unlocked
