Still not received global miui 11.0.3 android 10

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.

OTA Mi 10 Ultra (Miui 12.0.15)

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

T-Mobile to EU issues

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.

Yeah the international version is the most worked on stable builds

Cannot upgrade to 12.5 MIUI

I have a Russian (thanks Amazon !!) Redmi 9a 32Gb/2gb. It is currently running latest 12.0.x ROM version, but i would like to upgrade it to 12.5.
I see on xiaomi ROM site there is currently a 12.5.x version for Russian version, but the OTA never arrived and if i download the recovery zip file and install it manually, it fails verification and stops.
Is there a way to install 12.5 without unlocking the bootloader ?
Is 12.5 supported on this specific redmi 9a ?
thanks !

mmm... spflashtool might work, but Ive only ever used it on a bircked device to unbrick it, never on a functional device to just change the ROM version, but if you really wanna do it without unlocking bootloader thats your best choice.
I will say anyway, its probably safer to unlock bootloader install recovery and install the rom from there, its your call tho.
Heres how I unbricked my device

Thanks
Right now I cannot unlock the bootloader, maybe in the next months I might try (I want to wait for the warranty to expire). My concern is that my version of Redmi 9A with just 2G of Ram is actually not compatible with MIUI 12.5. The 12.5 rom is actually available, but OTA will leave me in the 12.0 branch and verification fails if I try to install the ROM manually. I would not want to brick it by installing an unsupported ROM.

My phone model is M2006C3LG and the ROM I have right now says I have 1.8Gb of available RAM, I don't think you have a different device from mine.
Im a total n00b so I may be wrong about this next thing, but, I think the only difference is what version of MIUI they were sold with since the hardware doesn't allow downgrades further than the stock ROM that came with the device.
There is always antirollback after MIUI 10, but I think its even further locked for the original stock ROM that came to the device, but yeah, this is all my own speculation due to a bricking incident I faced.

The model number is the same, but the 9A was available with different sizes of RAM 2 or 3 or 4 Gb. Mine is the low end 32/2 which is the model still on sale today. If you still have 1.8 Gb of free RAM you very likely has the 3 or 4 GB model.
Maybe you are right, the OTA allows only for updates within the same MIUi version; I saw several guides on-line and i think i will try the miflash tool and switch to the global version. I have to find a way to unlock bootloader without Xiaomi account (no way in hell I'm signing up for that) and without sim card (this phone is used as a smaller wi-fi only tablet). There are some tools for an offline unlock, I will try those first.
It is incredible how Xiaomi is making it complex just to update to a stable official ROM; given also how much bloatware is shovelled with the stock ROM, I'm not sure I will ever consider Xiaomi again.

In my opinion, DON'T UPGRADE. I upgraded it with recovery and fastboot and my phone got an message everytime when I boot it : dm verity corrupted and I will need to press power button again to work. Maybe i didn't did that correctly ( I have Global 12.0.20 32/2gb)

Thanks for the info. So you upgraded to latest 12.0 without moving to 12.5, any reason for not trying 12.5 ? The phone is currently barely usable with Android 10, maybe Android 11 is even heavier, but why not give it a try ?
I saw several youtube videos and guides and by using MI Flash with a Fastboot image (scattered tgz) it should be a total reflash of the phone.

Yes me too, that is why i am asking why the OTA isnt coming to our devices

Oh right

I think it's a bug or something. If you have previous than 13.0.10 versions software you can probably update directly. But if you have 13.0.10 you can't. You'd probably can update when there's an update who switches to the most recent security patches. You can't even force install via options not miflash not recovery flashable roms. I know cause i've tried that. Only way to do it is unlock bootloader, which is not adviced since you'll lose warranty. Anyway, only change i noticed is the toggles being a bit different. You just have the brightness and volume sliders vertically. Everything else looks the same to me. Of course you can always update with miflash and relock bootloader, but it's a risk. Either way you'll need to backup your data before doing it

I'm as well on a11
Was trying every possible download file non of them working.
Look like Xiaomi left us behind

Hi, same problem here.
I have version 13.0.10.0 with Android 11 and I am not receiving OTA updates.
Through recovery mode it doesn't let me update to version 13.0.2.0 or 13.0.3.0 with Android 12.
I tried everything but nothing.
How to do?

It's so crazy this phone is still on A11 lol..
