How to update from old Beta 9.6.27 to Miui.EU Rom? - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers

Hi Guys, got my Mix2s since official release and after unlocking bootloader I only "flashed" the Global Beta from the Updater (no root, no TWRP, only unlocking bootloader)... After that I always installed Updates OTA, but the Xiaomi cancelled the Open4all Beta Channel... Now I "stuck" on 9.6.27. (Germany) and for me there is no Update to 11.0.4.0 OTA !???!?
For me, the official Xiaomi Global Beta Roms - are much more fluid and less buggy like the Official Global Stable oO
Now my Question
1. Are Xiaomi.EU also OTA-Updatable or "Flash" within the Updater? Don't know if I need TWRP
2. How can I update without a Brick? Full Wipe is ok for me, to much waste on the phone
Thanks in Advance

Wow, I am suprised that nobody can help
I am clear that there will be always a risk with flashing and I am no Newbie at this.
But I want to make sure, that I not accidentally make it the wrong way..
So @ all Xiaomi.EU Users:
How can I flash the newest Stable oder Weekly on my Mix2s? And which way I must go, after flash to get future-updates for Xiaomi.EU-Roms (OTA? Flash in TWRP? "Flash" in Updater)?

Anyone have a link to 10.3.3.0 global stable recovery ROM (PEEMIXM)?

I found the 10.3.2.0 (global stable, PEEMIXM) recovery ROM on GetDroidTips and updated with it last night, but I have been getting the notification for 10.3.3.0 for about a month now. Does anyone know where to get a recovery ROM for 10.3.3.0 for the Mi Mix 3? For clarification my Mix 3 is rooted hence why I can't just use the OTA. Or is there a way to use the OTA to update that I am unaware of? I tried to flash one through TWRP when I was still on 10.2.2.0 and it instantly failed.
Thanks!

To flash in TWRP should I be using the ZIP version or fastboot version?
The OTA zip. Fastboot is for using the Xiaomi MiFlash or fastboot tool from computers.

Okay thanks!
Just an FYI - I am a Global Beta tester, and there were bugs in a number of the updates for a while that would mess up the vendor partition if you flashed it from TWRP instead of from the stock recovery, even with the full size OTA file. I haven't seen that now that they got done with the Global Beta and switched to Stable Beta Pilot Team, but wanted to provide fair warning, if you have that problem after flashing an OTA from TWRP, the only fix I found was to download the Fastboot version and re-flash with Mi Flash, but make sure not to relock your bootloader, ESPECIALLY if you have CN device like I do.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm on global stable, is the issue just for global beta? Also if I wind up switching to global beta, which I was considering, is it worth doing a complete reflash with MiFlash for every update? Wouldn't be ideal but better than bootlooping
Global Beta isn't a thing anymore. I've never seen the corruption happen on stable, but someone did report it. If you were to install beta at this point you'd be getting 3+ month old software as Xiaomi killed global beta.

Restore MiMix3 (bought in China) running TWRP/Xiaomi.eu ROM to Official Global ROM

Hi there,
I have a MiMix3 which I bought right after release in Mainland China.
I've run it with Xiaomi.eu ROM MIUI 10 via TWRP since early 2019.
Now I've updated to MIUI 11 (weekly) but have a lot of bugs and issues. I've tried also MIUI 11 (Xiaomi.eu stable) and MIUI 10 (Global stable) but both did not run on my phone but kept stuck in a TWRP boot-loop.
Now I'm again on the weekly build but want to get to get back to a official Global Rom and lock my bootloader to be able to use Google Pay etc.
What is the ideal procedure to do this? Since all other ROMs I tried so far resulted in a TWRP boot-loop I don't know how to proceed now.
Thanks for your advice!

Hi !
First of all, if the phone is China version, you should never relock the bootloader after installing a global version (the phone may brick).
If you just want to to go back to MIUI Global Stable, you have to download the fastboot rom and install it via Xiaomi Flash on your PC.
I think the problem when you tried to install xiaomi.eu stable is your TWRP version. Have you tried to flash another TWRP? I know some people had this problem.
Good luck !

How to go back to stable from beta?

Hello
I want to flash stable rom OOS11, I still have Beta 3 with Magisk root but no TWRP
What are the steps to flash stable OOs?
I saw it needs factory reset but how to do it and flash the rom if I don't have TWRP?
As far as I know, until last night, OnePlus had pulled the "stable" version of OOS11 d/t multiple bugs. You might wait until a stable version is released which should be coming soon.
FYI: When you install OOS over the beta version , your device will be wiped during the post-install reboot.

Question Flashing Miui.eu

I want to try miui.eu and was wondering if I still need to update to the latest miui. I'm still using miui 12.0.3 global version.

as I had to wait for my bootloader to unlock, I updated my pocox3 to lastest build at that time; 12.5.2 global
then after unlocking, flashed 12.5.2 eu rom, had no issues so far, currently updated to 12.5.5 thru dirty flashing. you have to wait for like 3-5mins for first initial boot of eu rom after flash (if you're waiting more than 10mins, its a bootloop).
having some experience with flashing custom rom on xiaomi devices..... i found out it's always best to be on latest firmware before switching roms, else there might be slight chance you experience failed flashes/bootloop problems, etc... xiaomi itself generally recommends getting to latest global rom, then doing anything *custom*.

Question Updating ROM from Chinese (13.0.8) to EU rom

Hi everyone . Couple of weeks ago I received my 12S Ultra, and started with unlocking process. Phone is currently unlocked and I was looking for threads which show the process of updating it to latest EU rom. I've seen this https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-miui-thor-xiaomi-eu-rom-for-xiaomi-12s-ultra.4481389/ thread and wanted to ask if this is up to date? I'd like to install MIUI 14 also if that is possible.
Another list of questions, would updates after flashing be working or would I need to manually update ROM as the releases come, and also are there any significant issues on MIUI 14 or should I go with MIUI 13?
Thanks in advance.
2 versions of rom, Weekly or stable. The weekly is a hybrid rom and for the moment the stable is installed with the TWRP.
Both receive updates via OTA.

Thanks for quick reply, okay so if I understood you correctly after flashing I can just update it directly on the phone when update comes via OTA. For the TWRP installation, so I can't just follow the tutorial and execute the first install script (which formats data) correct?
Just trying to wrap my head around this since I've flash global ROM before but without TWRP. Once more thanks for answering.

Installing TWRP does not require data formatting.
But for the first installation of a Xiaomi EU rom it is advisable to format the data with TWRP or use the first install.bat script depending on the version of the rom.
