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

Can I borrow your account and unlock mine? I've still got to wait 10 days

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

Flash & Unbrick Mi MIX 2S by Test Point Method!

First of all, i apologize for my bad english.
this method will help you to unbrick your Mi Mix 2s!
from :
1. The system has been destroyed
2. "This MIUI can't be installed on this device"
3. Locked Bootloader in global/ china ROM
4. Etc
how to do :
1. Remove the back panel of the phone
2. Do test point #below the rear camera
3. Flash it with MiFlash2018-5-28-0
*before you flash, go to MiFlash2018 Folder -> Mi -> account_auth.exe
login with Authorized Mi Account (thanks for redmi note 5/pro ARP cases)
4. do flash
5. wait for done
6. enjoy ur mi mix 2s again!!!

Basically everyone on the official Xiaomi Support Threads for the Mix 2S says this does not work. Not almost everybody--every single person that has tried it and left a comment about their experience. All you will do if you follow these instructions is permanently destroy your phone and if that is your intention smashing it repeatedly with a hammer is faster and easier.

Sorry, I did for my phone, and it's works
And now I am replying from my mix 2s,
It was bricked XE model with locked bootloader in global rom. Just flash with China rom, and the key is mi flash 2018 with authorized mi account which we posted in miui Russia forum to get authorized for bricked arp redmi note 5 pro

I bought this bricked phone from someone, XE model, he flashed to global rom and forgot to choose Clear All, he check Clear and Lock in Mi Flash,
Then the phone is bootloop for a month, he tried to flash, etc with any methods, flash recovery, etc
That's how his phone system destroyed
Sorry for my bad english

If your system says it got destroyed it isn't destroyed it only locked the bootloader and that means you have to unlock it again to access the rom.

@jhs39 and ryan mixed: You´re absolutely right: Due to a failed flash to Android P, my Mix2s got hardbricked -
only showing 'The system is destroyed' - the bootloader was re-locked - only Fastboot was working.
I was able to re-unlock the bootloader by using the latest MiUnlockTool ( the older ones got stuck at 50%... )
- after that, the phone was booting again and everything was OK. My experience is: forget all workarounds with
deepflash cables, testpoint aso - the possibility to damage the hardware of the phone is excessive and they won´t
lead to success. The only way to get it working again is to unlock the bootloader! And this is working not depending
if usb debugging is enabled or you got ´find my phone´ enabled in your mi.account,....

Hm, maybe we´re going to be a bit OT - I read the mentioned thread - who needs five mi accounts?
I have only one for my three registered Mi´s. I did the re-unlock of my Mix2s two weeks ago and
I checked it again before writing this - it still has permission. So, maybe there are other reasons why
Xiaomi has revoked some people´s accounts permission? Maybe depending on the age of the
account, the region, or they reglement the number? IDK. Only Xiaomi knows...

For backup, cause of hardbrick of redmi note 5 anti rollback, no fastboot, no recovery, etc, the only way is to flash in edl for ubl devices, otherwise for non ubl devices we do test point, not permission to unlock, but permission to flash in edl mode.
Try miflash 2018,go to "mi" folder, login with your account, see unauthorized or authorized.

OK, arb can be a bad trap for owners of redmi note 5, but is it also
applicable to the Mix2s? As I wrote, I used the 'old' miflash_unlock
( ver. 3.3.525.23 ) and after that I flashed from failed Android P to
global dev. and then again to Android P using XiaoMiFlash
( ver. 2017.4.25.0 ). And honestly, I´m a bit scared of trying a new
tool...

I mean the flashing method, not about ARB.
I used that method for my bricked mi mix 2s,
XE model with Locked BL in global rom,
Just fastboot and recovery,
Bootloop,
Everytime i flash with MI PC Suite 3.0 beta, it's detected as Global or XA model, when i flashed, phone bricked again.
I do try unlock BL again, and got message "this account is not bound to device or something like that" in Mi Unlock
So i downloaded MiFlash 2018 + borrow authorized mi account,
Do test point by opening rear side,
Then flashed China Stable or Developer Rom & my phone is up again
I guess your phone is XA, not XE

Sorry, but @Pfofeldix is right. I have the XE model and once I locked the bootloader while being on Global ROM. Phone went softbricked of course, but I used Mi Unlock to unlock it and it went back to life again. Then I've done the whole procedure multiple times and during every single one of them I was able to "revive" my phone.
There's no point in destroying the phone when you can achieve the same outcome with the phone intact, left alone that some people say that the testpoint method doesn't work.
I don't know why some people can't relock and unlock again, but it definitely is possible if you did everything right in the first place.

Because you can unlock it before, when it unlocked, of course you can flash to any rom.
The problem was my phone Locked in hardbrick state,
Mi account not bound to device.
that's why i do test point, i didn't suggest people to destroy their phone, i do for my phone and it back to life. It's ok, i just want to share.

That's a different situation. The person who posted that had 5 accounts. I've used the same MI Account to unlock the bootloader on all 4 of the Xiaomi devices that I've owned. If you got caught using multiple accounts to request bootloader unlock I think Xiaomi always deauthorized the accounts.

The cause is unknown. I had wrote many things you need be ware of to successfully unlock bootloader, and the unlock tool you used was the old one.
You can use Google Translate app using camera to translate it.

The phone has been locked by the account number 632****905 by searching the phone and cannot be unlocked.

The unofficial tool uses the same method of the official unlock tool to unlock bootloader.
If both gives you error, either it's temporary error, or some steps you did not fulfill from the phone side.
Go over with my guide and check the details one by one.
Reboot PC and phone.

Hopefully it will work eventually.
Personally did read some people encounter some strange issues similar to your case.
Most of them try again for another week or so and had successfully unlocked.

Think positively, at least your phone is not bricked .

Login to https://i.mi.com/?_locale=en and sign in with your Mi Account. It will show connected device, check whether your device is online or not, and remove all other devices from site as well as mobile phone. If your device not showing online on i.mi.com go to Settings > Sync >Off and On
From your mobile go to developer option and enable oem unlock and usb debugging.
If you have uninstall some apps with ADB commands or some other tools, install all those system apps back with the command and tools. Reboot after doing this.
See if it helps.
If it still does not help, logout Xiaomi account from both your phone and your PC.
Then login both again.
If none help, then request bootloader unlock again. Might need to wait another 7 days again though.

So after logging in to https://i.mi.com/?_locale=en, I only had my redmi note 7, so I deleted it, and did as you said, I went to Setting>Accounts & Sync. But the only options I found there was Auto-sync data, which was off so I turned it on, and Sync now, which I did. But even after that, my Poco X3 Pro still doesn't show up in https://i.mi.com/?_locale=en

Have you logged to Mi account from your phone using "Mi unlock status" in developer options? First time I did I forgot to disable WiFi and it failed. You have to use SIM card and data connection for this purpose.

I think so too... it's not that easy for developers to buy before global release.

Hi I'm trying to unlock the bootloader, but when I log in to the Xiaomi Unlock Tool, I never received the verfication code that's supposed to be sent via a text messages to my linked US phone number. Other text messages went through fine so either XIaomi didn't send the code or my carrier (AT&T) blocked it. I tried a few other numbers and none worked. Did you guys need to receive the text message to verify your account when using the Unlock Tool? If yes, did you use a Chinese phone number or something else? A tried 4 different US numbers and none of them could receive Xiaomi sms. Thanks for your help!

Hi! How do I know when it's passed time enough to unlock it? Do I have to verify from time to time on the tool?

Sorry but I must be doing something wrong and different from the way I always did unlock bootloader. In Android 12, With Vol down + power the cell phone enters a different screen "Bootloader" that always allowed unlocking.
mi unlock software does not allow clicking the unlock button, fastboot devices and adb devices commands do not work in this mode.... How to unlock with these changes?

Run the unlock tool again, it will tell you how many hours left. Normally it tells you that 168 hours left at the first successful attempt, it also tells you do not logout miui account or try to login another account on your phone. Just be patient.

for anyone having issues to sign in to mi unlock tool and verification code doesnt arrive: go to your phone and your Mi account, Tap QR code and scan QR after clicking top right corner in sign in page of mi unblock tool. Worked for me.

Question SOLVED: Unable to verify Xiaomi Account on Newly Unlocked Device

I've recently unlocked the bootloader on my Xiaomi device and have encountered an issue getting past the 'This device is Locked' screen.
I have access to the Xiaomi account that was linked to the device, and have entered the correct information, several times using a combination of both with WIFI and without (mobile data) using two different sim cards, and my email address to verify the account using the 2fa on the device.
Unfortunately the screen just disappears for a second before re-appearing and I'm stuck trying to enter the prompts again.
Has anyone encountered this? Does anyone know how I can bypass this screen to continue with the setup process?
I'll try attaching a video that shows the process of what Is happening and I apologise for the sound -- it's hard trying to juggle two devices and record at the same time.

Check here that your device appears and that the phone number matches, otherwise delete the phone from your account and try again.
Or use the reset after deleting the device from the account.
Disregard the i clicked on it wanting to click on the video link.

The device appeared originally and I removed it from the account yesterday in the hopes I could get through this barrier.. I've been two days on this being blocked by the 2fa limit in 24h. Unfortunately removing the device didn't seem to help.
Should I look to do a fastboot reset of the device? Do you think that could help? I could try a flashing the xiaomi.eu rom again.
And no worries. I've found it pretty funny past few days how ridiculous it is.

To summarize you have unlocked the bootloader then install a Xiaomi eu rom from a stock rom, right.
What stock rom?

Yes, It was Chinese stock.
I did the steps to unlock the bootloader, unlocked, waited for reboot, encountered this screen.
First night I tried to unlock on stock rom -- encountering the same issue as in the video.
Second night I tried after flashing Xiaomi.eu. After 2fa ran out I tried deleting the device from the account.
Tonight, same issue after deleting the device from the account.
I've also tried to submit my request to unlock the device to Xiaomi, but it says I'm unsuccessful as current region is different from frequent sign-in regions (though my country isn't in the dropdown and only 'other' is available).

Flashing a Xiaomi Eu rom on a locked device after unlocking the bootloader is not a good idea.
The account and the sim card must be the same as the one used for unlocking.

or flash the same CN rom as the origin with this tool. (do not lock the bootloader)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/

You could try fastboot erase frp command and see if that helps. Thats the command for removing any account locks.
But flashing a new firmware on a locked, or re locked bootloader is generally a big no

Thank you for your support. I reflashed the stock Chinese rom using the flash_all.sh script and unfortunately have encountered the same issue as shown before in the video. To be clear, this issue was happening on the stock rom, then I flashed xiaomi.eu and problem still persisted.
I've used the same number as was used in the unlocking process -- same result occurs it just loops at the unlock screen. Is there anything else you could recommend I do?
The device is no longer linked to my account and I still receive this message upon opening it.
EDIT:
Issue was resolved either by Xiaomi, or by going to Xiaomi Cloud and Find device, selecting the device, selecting the erase device option, then the delete device option from the hamburger menu. Device now seems to be unlocked and setup is appearing. I guess after removing the device from the Xiaomi account it persists in other aspects of the Xiaomi ecosystem.
