For moving from global rom to developer rom, is there any special steps? Or can simply put the rom into downloaded_rom folder and user Updater?

Did anyone purchase from Banggood.com before?

This is the link.

would like to know what are the thoughts of current users for this model and price.. Good to go?

Thanks!

Hmm... I don't think it is wise to buy from that site.

You have better buy from local online sellers like all of us do. Price wise, not much of a difference.

If you don't need that much of storage. A 3/32 or 4/64 will do just fine at lower price.

Cannot!

One cannot cross update between different families of ROM.

It will be a wipe out method of flashing a Developer ROM.

A BIG Welcome in advance, bro! ;)

Some ownself reading is needed!:s22:

Start reading from here! It was contributed by Dragonguy! :)=

It looks very complicated with all the texts and words but actually it is as easy as 1,2 3 once you got the idea of the steps. :)

Note: This is the latest 8.2.4.0 Fastboot rom that you need to download!

Read through it!

Download all the needed tools and files and the Fastboot ROM first so that you are ready to flash to Global rom straight away when your Mi Max arrives! :)

I think I do it now better as I have a tendency of cannot fall asleep when something is undone. :s13::s22:

Below is the guide based on Doom Slayer (xiaomi.eu) & hstende (xda). Besides crediting the 2 of them, also credits to some of the bros here for contributing (who know who you are).

The guide will be totally based on EDL mode and you will find it is striking similarity to my EDL flashing guide :s13::s22:. Cheers.

============================
*NOTE TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK (AS USUAL :s22:)

----------------
!!!! README !!!!
- 32GB is call hydrogen sets, 64/128GB is called helium sets.

- Official rom for 32GB set is hydrogen and 64/128GB sets is helium.

- For xiaomi.eu roms, 32GB rom have only "MIMAX" in the filename and 64/128GB roms is "MIMAXPro" in the file name.

- ANY FLASHING OF WRONG SET ROM WILL RESULT IN HARDBRICK.
----------------

1. Download any fastboot rom for your set from official miui site here. if you have existing fastboot rom for your set then use it. (note: file name will end with *.tgz)

2. Download your desire xiaomi.eu stable rom or beta rom from this xiaomi.eu forums.

3. Download respective twrp for hydrogen and helium sets.

4. Download miflash beta if you haven't yet here.

5. Download Qualcomm Drivers here if you first time flashing.

6. Unzip the official fastboot rom to root of "C:\", e.g. "C:\fastboot_rom_folder_name".

7. Rename the twrp "*.img" to "recovery.img". Go to the unzip official fastboot rom folder and go into the "images" folder. Copy and paste the rename twrp "recovery.img" in that folder and replace the current same file with it.

8. Install the Miflash beta if you have not. It will be be install as "XiaoMiFlash". After run it as administrator. Click on select and point it to the root folder of the unzipped modified fastboot rom. e.g. C:\fastboot_rom_folder_name. After that on the bottom right, check on "clean all" options.

9. Turn off your phone. Press and hold vol+, vol- and power button to get to EDL mode. Note that the screen will not show anything, you will know it has power on as it will have vibration upon bootup.

10. Connect phone to PC, wait for it to detect and install the necessary drivers. Open up you device manager, you should see under "Ports (COM/LPT)" something like "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)", note that your COM number may vary.

11. Refresh on XiaoMiFlash and your phone should show up, e.g. COM4.

12. Click on flash and wait for it to complete.

13. After success, unplug and reboot your phone by holding on to the vol+ and power button (maybe 10 sec or longer)

14. The phone will reboot showing mi logo upon that release the power button while holding on to vol+, if too long you can release the vol+. Now it should boot to twrp.

PAY A BIT MORE ATTENTION HERE.
15. TWRP can ask for password, press cancel and allow modifications by moving slider.

16. Format data.

17. Enable MTP and put xiaomi.eu rom zip in your phone.

18. Go to mounts and unmount system ** (if it's not unmount)

19. Flash your rom.

20. Reboot the phone. Take note that first boot may take like 15-20 minutes, since xiaomi.eu rom is deodexed.

*Note if you need root, just download the latest SuperSU and put in at steps 17 and flash if after you flash your rom.

Yes, locked bootloader should have no problem.

Yes, you can install for any other 3rd party rom using twrp.
