Xiaomi Mi Max - Part 2

[kelvinti]

The app can still install and work as it is. Just that I am uncomfortable with the message.

Sent from Xiaomi MI MAX using GAGT

I see. Then, that is normal for some apps. Rarely though... Just use it. No worries.

 

[kelvinti]

at least mine is loud. no need EQ.
even when two earphones are plugged into my phone via the connector, volume is as loud on both.

Yours must be China rom or with old global version?

 

[Gaddy23]

Thanks. Its loud enough on max volume. I came from a huawei mate 7 which was a bit louder. Guess i'll will make do though i remember reading something about audio output earlier in the thread.

 

[kelvinti]

Just got mine last night and flashed it to the latest global rom. Loving it so far except the low volume while on earphones. Any solutions?

Actually, low volume via earpiece for YouTube only, right? That's is a known bug for the recent 8.2 series of MIUI awaiting fix.

Mp3 and video volume is okay via earpiece.

But in general. Any iphones iPad iPod the sound output confirm louder than Android phones. If you use headphones the max volume on Android not loud enough.

Earphones not much difference but still can tell.

I also don't know why. Flagship andriod also low volume output.

We must admit that iPhone/iPad speaker sound quality is the best . no horse run.

Guys, do u know how to flash back to an old FW version?
Would MiFlash work?

Good job! Shib!

Basically, just follow this steps:

> Download the zip file (Recovery rom 8.2.1.0) onto you pc.

> Copy it into the "Download" folder of your Mi Max and then select "Choose update package" from the 3-dots menu in the System Update.

> Browse to that "Download" folder on your Mi Max and follow the next instruction.

Thanks Shib and kelvinti for your prompt reply.

Hmmm...after you have updated to 8.2.1.0 using the Recovery rom 8.2.1.0, your MIUI version should stay at 8.2.1.0 wah!

How come it went backwards to 8.0.3.0 again? It doesn't make any sense from your statement !

Chey! No wonder lah!

Confirmed and chopped that your Mi Max is super clean, save and sound now! Enjoy it to the fullest!

china ROM ,7.3.15

 

[DRAGONGUY]

Chey! No wonder lah.

Anyway, mission aborted! Waiting for official 8.2.3.0 since Beta version for Mi Max (Non Prime) is pushing out to random users now...

Hahaha how come u cannot install? I can wor :x

Anyway it flashing thru edl mode la. Why u keep using the manual mode. Aiyo.

 

[DRAGONGUY]

Rough steps.

1. Download the twrp for helium.
2. Unpack it.
3. Flash using miflash (beta or official) thru edl mode
4. Reboot with vol + and wait, release if too long. (note: hold vol+ while rebooting. After vibrate or see mi logo, release power button first, if too long wait at the mi logo screen then release vol+ and wait a while)
5. Tada boot in twrp mode

Basically normal fastboot screen become twrp.

IMHO, edl mode is for bypassing all these lock bootloader things aka xiaomi device security. That's why the flagship mi5 they disable it, since i guess they receive complaints from normal users that received sets with vendor roms, which most of these users know nuts abt flashing.

Because some wants to ensure 100% clean phones. Well others want to install custom rom. Anyway edl mode on mi max isn't hard. It's simple. Once you get hold the hang of it, it easy as 123.

Yes mi max set don't comes with earphone. If you want it, i recommend the xiaomi piston 4 series. I using it and it's great for me.

So complicated sia. Flash here flash there. I just use out of the box and updated to lastest build through the phone build in update.

What's the pro of custom rom?

Bricking risk high or not?

Kekeke!

First time on Mi Max mah...I read from here and there, tired this and that but still ended up neither here or there! Blur sia!

Never mind...No time to try now! Just wait for 8.2.3.0 to pop up!

IMHO, there is always risks on whichever we do. Even updating via official method can brick the phone (although very rare).

Anyway, the guide I posted for edl mode is mainly for those whom still receive sets with modified rom or cn rom (which can be rare, but still reported by new users).

As long as you follow it well, then ok. However, if your IT skills is minimal, ya just stick with whatever you have.

Pro of customed rom can varies. Generally less buggy and consume less energy. Better ui in some. However some customed rom is junk. General rule, stick to those big player customed rom like xiaomi.eu, resurrect remix, lineage os, etc.

Your set, your choice. We don't owe anyone anything. Peace.
