Xiaomi is not updated. What is OTA. Disconnect the smartphone from the computer
Since the theme of the firmware is quite global and many people want to get instructions for their phone model, I decided to write a universal post in which I’ll talk about how to install software on a Xiaomi smartphone, and at the same time I will share links to the latest firmware versions. This article will be relevant as for existing devices Xiaomi, and newly manufactured.
However, the rationale will be more defined, in principle, lower frequencies are used to cover a larger area and the higher the frequency of cities and municipalities. This applies to minor exceptions for India, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Singapore or Hong Kong.
That's why there are no smartphones. Blocking them could leave the manufacturer, but also the supplier of crushers. To be cheaper. But this is just an assumption that no one has ever heard of. This, of course, applies even after the sixth import to Europe, but with the addition of margin and taxes, it is no longer such a spirit. Therefore, it should not be a problem for us to use new innovations. But after a while there was a remark on this link that this is most likely information, and then it all disappeared.
Here is a complete list of devices for which the manufacturer currently releases official international firmware versions:
- Mi 2 / 2S;
- Mi 3;
- Mi 4;
- Mi 4i;
- Mi 5;
- Mi Note;
- Mi Max 16/32 GB;
- Redmi 1s;
- Redmi Note 4G;
- Redmi Note Prime;
- Redmi Note 2;
- Redmi Note 3 Pro;
- Redmi Note 3 Special Edition;
- Redmi Note 4;
- Redmi 2;
- Redmi 3;
- Redmi 3s.
Some smartphones are not included in the list because these devices are made for the domestic market of China and the developer does not release official international versions. However, you can install the localized software yourself. For the smartphone, and there are relevant instructions, but for other devices the actions are similar, just need to download the firmware for a specific device.
Therefore, the Jesuits are not quite cheap, because they are closer to the competition. For some, you can remember that user memory cannot be expanded with memory cards. Take a look at the amount of the most interesting. The release date has already been confirmed, but today you can announce your readiness to participate in beta testing. However, this is not the most important thing, but a list of hardware to upgrade.
This suggests that all the models mentioned will receive an update. As it is easy to see, the list is quite substantial and, most importantly, includes models from several years ago. There is nothing to wait. However, he leads. In late July, the Chinese manufacturer introduced the latest edition.
Take into account! When changing the firmware version to avoid unstable operation of the smartphone, it is recommended to reset to factory settings. In the future, when updating software, this procedure will not have to be repeated. Also, make sure that the battery is charged more than 60%, ideally it should be 100% in order to be able to reanimate the smartphone in case of force majeure situations. As the author of this article, I am not responsible for your devices. Everything that you do, you do at your own peril and risk. However, if something goes wrong, then you can me, and I will try to help you.
But when will the update come? Therefore, if you purchased your smartphone in one of the two ways described above and did not change anything in the software, just wait for the notification. But remember that the update will occur gradually. Priority will be given to users of newer models. Those who have old devices will have to wait a little longer.
However, they will not receive all the features.
The list of smartphones to which the update applies is really long and looks like this. Owners of models purchased over several generations will also be able to enjoy the latest overlay. Not all of them fit all models. The latest system with a robot will appear on the following models. With really barely cosmetic changes, make a big halo and party.
Before you start updating the smartphone software, the MiFlash application and the necessary drivers must be installed on your computer. How to do it I described.
System update
If the official international firmware is already installed on the smartphone and you just want to update it, then there is nothing easier than using the built-in application. Download the firmware file for recovery in zip format in the internal memory of the device in the folder downloaded_rom. Find a shortcut on the desktop Update (Updater) and run it. In the opened application in the upper right corner click on the icon with three dots and select the item Select firmware file (Choose update package).
Appearance and technical specifications
In principle, the user will not notice the difference after the update. Will the product created by this Chinese corporation be in line with the expectations of the fans?
Dual camera with great features
It is also worth mentioning the dual camera, which has found its place on the back of the device. This solution allows, among other things. To determine the depth in the photos, which allows you to blur the background in the photos.Price, availability and release date
In the image above, you can see which countries will receive a new smartphone from this Chinese manufacturer.Next you need to specify where the archive is located with the previously downloaded firmware and confirm the installation. The smartphone will check the file and the installation will begin, at the end the system will automatically restart. The process is long, so be patient.
Also in this application, you can set up an automatic check for updates and you will always have the latest MIUI firmware installed.
We can not hide the fact that the Chinese have stolen the hearts of customers with very attractive prices compared to the proposed opportunities. However, it should be noted that the company from your Center is constantly developing and presents increasingly interesting products. This device does not yet have a software version in the global version.
Perhaps the above list is a preview of the release of this version. The above list is not always the case. In addition to the eyes is thrown, the separation of smartphones to version 0, and the version of All indicates that the reason for this difference is the lack of suitable drivers. However, given the inaccuracies in the above list, it is possible that more devices will receive updates. Keep in mind that the above list is not official, so it can be expanded to include more models.
This method should not be used in the event that you change the type of firmware, for example, from the version for developers (developer) to stable (stable) or upgrade from Chinese firmware. For these purposes, you need to use the following methods.
There are two possibilities to consider. If we buy a smartphone directly from China, we can expect a much lower price than when buying from a Polish distribution. In this case, the number of updates is commendable. However, if we acquired a smartphone from the Polish distribution, then this result should be considered valid.
Disconnect the smartphone from the computer and turn off
Two updates for the model, the cost of which is almost two thousand zlotys, nothing extraordinary. Smartphones are constantly complemented by new features and even older models. In this regard, the manufacturer does not stand out especially in positive and negative terms. It uses 2, 8 billion active users. This is a big, even fundamental difference.
Recovery Mode Update
Important. Due to differences in the Recovery mode interface, this method is not applicable to some Redmi smartphones equipped with MTK processors and devices with a locked bootloader. Sometimes when updating the software, a reset to the factory settings is required, so be careful when you agree with this or that item.
New software version will make applications even faster to run. This is influenced by algorithms that use, among other things, better management of processor resources and the queue of individual threads. Also introduced a new file system and cache management system.
Further news will probably not be available in Poland and will be available to them, at least initially, only for Chinese users. These include searching for specific photographs based on the elements on them, visible emotions, scenes, and the places where they were taken.
Download the firmware file for recovery in zip format to internal memory and rename it to update.zip. This can be done in advance on the computer, and then transfer the archive to the device. It is extremely important that the renamed file is in the root of the repository, and not in any folder.
Now you need to restart the smartphone in the recovery mode. This can be done in two ways:
The same goes for intelligent assistant and application startup. If you do it right, you will not lose too much. In particular, there may be 2 users, but they will share, a separate home screen, separate applications, a separate photo gallery, even a separate blocking screen or trace. Scrolling screenshots are a function that allows you to capture what we see on the screen, but not that at first glance, but the full content of the open page, even if it is longer.

- In the application Update (Updater) in the upper right corner, click on the icon with three dots and select the item ( Reboot to Recovery mode).
- Turn off the smartphone. We press simultaneously and hold the buttons for 3-5 seconds, the volume up and on until the Recovery mode appears.
Control of the cursor in the Recovery mode is carried out using the volume rocker, and the power button is used to confirm the command. Thus choose English and click Install update.zip to System Oneto run the update. After successful completion of the smartphone you need to restart by clicking Reboot to System One.
Fastboot update
On some new devices, you must first unlock the bootloader to use this method. Now this procedure takes 1-2 days and there is nothing difficult in it, the main thing is to follow the instructions.
