Install MIUI 10 without unlocking bootloader?

Good morning to all, as it has been read in the title, there is some way to install miui 10 without unlocking bootloader, since I could not do it because I can not register my phone number to xiaomi mi account.

Yes you can with the new global beta, download it (choose Mix 2S / Recovery) : http://en.miui.com/thread-3091957-1-1.html
And go in updates --> settings --> select update from storage --> choose the file you just downloaded

This is just a copy past flashing method, internal updater worked for me, I'm now on MIUI 10, just backup your data

Its worked for me to. Botloader locked and miui 10. You need to create a folder named downloaded_rom and put the .ZIP in this folder. Before, Go to updater app , ... Menu and choose the update package. The update erase ALL tour data, do a backup first

I updated to the newest global beta. Simply downloaded it and used the system updater and pointed it to the zip file I downloaded and it did the rest.
Will this newest global beta get OTA updates as new versions are released? That's my big question.
Thanks!

Hi, don't worry you'll get OTA for new updates.
But I still don't know if we'll have an OTA to switch from last beta to first MIUI 10 Stable global release.

It worked for me. Thanks for the tips.

That's what keeps me away from going to Miui 10 so far. I dont want to restore my files two times (going to beta and going back to stable). If I could be sure that I would get a normal ota Update from beta to stable I would also try out the Beta

Is it eventually possible to go back to the global stable in the same way?

Probably no, normally only via fastboot method, but for that, you will need to unlock the bootloader first, so request the unlock permission now, because there is a 360h waiting time

Does installing the latest beta break any functionality? Safety net is primarily what I'm worried about. I like my Google Pay.

Answered my own question. Google Pay does not work. That's so odd given you don't need to unlock your bootloader to install this beta.

Firmware MIUI 8.8.30 for XIAOMI Mi5

Yesterday XIAOMI Mi5 has get a new update.
About TWRP aborts the update, because firmware MIUI 8.8.30 is required as a minimum requirement.
However, I find these not to download - does anyone have a link?
Regards & Thanks

Same here, does anyone can provide the download link ? Thank you

same here and the last update that worked has some bugs.
Apps crashing, battery drains etc.
Was hoping the new update would have fixed these issues but alas
I cannot get TWRP to flash giving the same error about MIUI 8.8.30

This is to all of you, you can't apply stock OTA updates on rooted devices or devices that have TWRP installed. Stock OTA updates require an unmodified system partition(meaning no root, no Xposed, no root mods of any kind).
OTA updates also require stock recovery, not TWRP.
You can all try flashing any stock firmware for your device then wait for the update notification then try the update process.
To those of you that have TWRP installed, this is a good example of why it is so important to create a nandroid backup of your stock ROM before you modify anything on the device. If you had that nandroid backup, you could restore the backup, then flash a copy of your stock recovery, then unroot the device, then wait for the update notification, then you'd be able to apply the current update. Then after applying the update, root the device again and flash TWRP again, then create a new nandroid backup of the updated stock ROM and delete the older backup from before the update.

I am running Lineage OS 15.1 when it applies the nightly update I get this error.
So what you are saying is they updated to MIUI 10 which as what I can see updates to MIUI 8.8.30 which includes new code
that TWRP and Lineage cannot install over. Also there is this Xiaomi's anti rollback that is installed as well so I am guessing
either live with the last Lineage OS update or install stock MIUI and call it day.

Oh, you mean a nightly update of LOS?
Maybe the MIUI update contained a bootloader update and the new builds of LOS were built to work with the new bootloader?

Interesting I encountered the same problem. Lineage Cannont update because 8.8.30 stock ROM Miui is required.

Simply download latest available miui firmware. Via TWRP install it and then immediately install latest LineageOS.

Here is the link to the new MIUI

Ota is broken

For few months I was using cutom kernel , then by mistake I wiped vendor,system through twrp , my phone was bricked . Installed the rom again through msm(10.3.1) . Locked the bootloader , then on I'm not getting any updates.
Downloaded 10.3.2 incremental update from oxygen updater and installed it. Still no updates through ota.
Any suggestion will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

I think you have to flash android 9 via edl through MSM tool first...then you can update. ..any version via ota...maybe it not works for you ..if you fail then i think in you phone you have to manually copy the india.img file to a partition i.e. [reserve] by this you can obtain update via ota...but make sure that you tries 1st method firstly by flashing android 9...then try it..i thought that it works for u..

No even after installing android 9.5.8 still not recieving the updates , but I can download the 10.0.1 and install it from local upgrage method .
The thing is if I install hydrogen version via msm I'm getting all the updates through ota . But not when I install global version or the eu version.
How to manually install india.img ?

Its not a big issue if u dont get ota updates automatically,you can use Oxygen updater app from playstore if you want any updates...its a good and authentic method but it depends on you if you like it or not.. &even if you copy india.img file using twrp to the location [reserve],there is no guarantee that if it works or not... because i even never tried this method but i prefer to go u with oxygen updater it downloads..the newer updates easily and even its gives you updates faster than mobile updater..try it ..and tell me if it works for you

I dont know if it works for you or not but i want to tell you that you can fix your broken ota by these steps..
★READ ALL STEPS FIRSTLY THEN START DOING IT★
[Step:1] flash Oxygen Os 9.5.8 via msm tool on both slots..
★How to flash Oxygen Os on both slots by msm tool..
-first you have to launch msm tool
-then verify by clicking on the verify option at the top-right side,it takes a few seconds..or more based on computer speed..
-after this you have to click on smt mode then click upgrade mode for atleast 2 or 3 times...
-now start flashing your device then you see the tool is flashing both slots partitions & as usual it takes approx 10 minutes to flash whole device
-after flashing start your device ..
[Step:2] Now you have to flash your device to Oxygen Os 10 on only slot-a
-flash it normally as uaual you do,this time you don't have to verify only click enum & then start because you don't need to flash both slots..
-after completing flashing process you should wait to restart you device then setup it & now you get your official Ota updates via system updates...
DONE..
★CAUTIONont do anything with (smt mode) either you loss you imei..!!!!!!
★Make sure you use upgrade mode to flash... because in smt mode it shouldn't works ★
[Tell me if it works for you because it works for me...]
Thanks

how to install it? and its multi language? thx

Warning! Please back up everything. You will loose data partition if something goes wrong. You have been warned. This was tested on K30 pro zoom edition with Chinese beta rom 20.7.9.
Requirements: pc with fastboot files.
Usb otg cable and USB stick at least 4gb.
Full tgz fastboot rom miui 12.0.x.x
20.7.9 and 20.7.30 recovery Chinese rom
Drawbacks with Android 11. No TWRP support. No magisk. No root.
1. Download full tgz Chinese rom miui 12. Extract it and flash stock recovery. You can skip this step if you have stock recovery already.
2. Fastboot boot into TWRP recovery using fastboot.exe. Do not flash or replace stock recovery. Phone will restart into TWRP.
3. Download 20.7.9 and extract file META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary and replace inside 20.7.30 rom.
4. I used USB otg cable with USB stick to flash in TWRP the patched rom.
5. Wait little as first boot is long.
Edit: this should be obvious, it is a Chinese rom so only English is supported.

Did you have unlocked bootloader? You can't do it in stock recovery.

Tap several times in in the number of miui version, in the image to be exactly and a messaje will appear about the activate additional update features, then try the three dots again and you will see chose the update package.
Youre welcome

This way will work with OTA package only. Most probably he got the recovery package, so it will not work. He has to search for an OTA package on MIUI 12 telegram or so, to put it in internal storage in a folder called "donwloaded_rom" (if it not exist he can creat it) and then he can follow your advice.
