Xiaomi Mi Max

[DaRRenLieW]

E one u bought ,wat rom ver is it ? Comes with a lot of bloatware? Mind to share e steps to update e rom?

I brought from ns mobilebee and simtder before. All out of the box can be use. Bloatware is mainly the typical china adds. You can easily uninstall and viola. I dont do any fancy tweak just use system update if there is new software. So far i am using 7.3.1.6. No issuse at all

I bought my xiaomi mi max 2 weeks back which came with bloatware that caused popups everytime i opened the hp to use. So I reset and left it i one corner until I had the time to flash a new rom since the updater app didn't allow to update to official rom.

Step 1: Apply here to unlock device. Needed to use Fastboot method. Mine got approved in few days. Reason I used was 'I want to update to global rom'.

Step 2: Download FASTBOOT Rom.

Step 3: Download and install miflash tool. Guide has the link to download and guide to install.

Step 4: Use the guide in this link to flash to official rom. I followed exactly and did the flashing successfully. Take note you need to use WINrar to unzip the downloaded rom. Link below if you do not have the app.

Lastly, this guide will install google apps. You will need a miui account and one reply to get the link.

The steps above will work if you follow the information correctly. Fyi, I installed TWRP and wiped out the existing vendor OS and the phone was without an OS until I dug up more info. Still managed to recover so can be done. I read too many guides and mixed up the methods when it should have been quite straight forward. Good Luck.

Any brave souls willing to try?

 

[Snowblind]

I might try the beta rom since not using the phone now. Still using my Sony ultra.

 

[wawalau]

Why bother when stable global rom will be out in a week?

 

[raptorized]

Not sure if its sd card problem. My music keeps stopping suddenly.
