Custom Android 11 firmware for different smartphones: Xiaomi, Realme and others

Just recently, Google released the release version of Android 11 for some smartphones. These include the Google Pixel line, several Xiaomi devices, the OnePlus 8 line, a couple of Samsung flagships and several other smartphones from different manufacturers. As for other devices, they still remain without official updates to the latest OS. But third-party firmware based on Android 11 has already begun to appear, and some of them are quite stable and no different from what is installed on, for example, Pixel smartphones.

The best Telegram channel about technology (possibly)

At the moment, of course, not all of the presented firmwares work perfectly, so you should first familiarize yourself with them before installing them on your smartphone.

Over-the-air update - OTA

New firmware versions are regularly released for Xiaomi smartphones.
Typically, in the notification shade, the device prompts the user to download the update automatically, in other words, using OTA. OTA - Over The AIr, literal translation "by air". The system is updated via the Internet, without using a PC or any wires.

In addition to Internet access, a Mi account must be set up on your smartphone, since notifications about the release of new versions of the MIUI system are received through it.

This method does not require any special knowledge and will not take much time.

First you need to fully charge the battery. Some smartphone models will not be able to start the automatic update process if the battery charge is below 30 percent, while some require a minimum of 60%. It is best to update the firmware while keeping the phone on charge, because if it dies during the process, the installation will not proceed correctly.
Go to Settings - About phone - System updates - Check. The smartphone will see the update file, if available. You must agree to the installation proposal and reboot the device.
You cannot use your smartphone during the update process. Once completed, it will reboot into the MIUI system.

Some Xiaomi models may not be able to handle the new firmware version due to a weak processor or low version of Android.

If you have root rights or custom recovery installed, updating over the air is not recommended; it is better to do it manually through the recovery system or Miflash. We'll figure out how to do this below.

Android update if your phone no longer receives updates

If the phone does not update over the air or does not start at all, you can always use the recovery or recovery mode.

With the standard, pre-installed recovery on Xiaomi, there is no possibility of flashing the system. You will need to install a modified recovery, for example TWRP.

We carry out all subsequent actions only after obtaining root rights. If you are not ready to part with the warranty on the device, this method is not suitable for you.

First you need to install TWRP itself and unlock the bootloader. If you have installed root rights, then the bootloader is already unlocked. If not, let's figure out how to unlock it.

Unlock bootloader

Unlocking the bootloader is necessary for flashing via TWRP, but it entails a complete formatting of the device. Before carrying out the procedure, make a backup.

There are two unlocking methods: official and unofficial.

For the official method, you need to go to the unlocking site and apply there to unlock the bootloader. To do this, you will need to register on the website, indicate the reason for unblocking in the application and wait for approval. The review period is from three to ten days. After you have been approved for unlocking, you need to download the Mi Flash Unlock program and follow the instructions in it.
The unofficial method involves installing ADB and drivers for the smartphone; you can find them on the official ADB website. After installing the program, put the phone into fastboot mode (volume down and power buttons at the same time) and connect it to the computer. Open the console in the ADB folder by holding down the Shift button and entering “fastboot oem unlock”. That's it, the bootloader is unlocked, reboot the phone.

Installing TWRP

Download the Offical TWRP App via Google Play.
We provide the utility with root access.
Select your device and click the “Download TWRP” button.
Then select the downloaded recovery file and click “Flash to recovery”.
That’s it, after this the smartphone itself will launch the recovery, from which the necessary manipulations will be carried out.

Flashing the phone via TWRP

First of all, download the firmware you need. Where and how this can be done is indicated above.
Place the zip file on the memory card.
Reboot into recovery - turn off the device and simultaneously hold down the power and volume up buttons.
Now you need to clear all partitions except the SD card. Make a backup first, TWRP provides such a function.
Click the Wipe button and check the boxes Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache and swipe to confirm. The smartphone will be completely cleaned. This item is required for correct installation of the firmware.
After that, go back to the recovery menu and go to the Install item.
Select the firmware file and swipe to the side again.
The system update process will begin. It may not be displayed on the screen in any way; you just need to wait a while and not touch the phone.
Once the installation is complete, “Zip Install Complete” will appear on the screen.
Select "Wipe dalvik cache" and "Reboot system".
The device will reboot into the updated system, this will be indicated by three dots on the screen. The first startup lasts a long time, do not turn off or restart the phone during this period.

How to distinguish a Chinese Xiaomi phone upgraded to the global version?

The seller’s website should have a complete technical specification of the product; immediately go to the description of LTE operating frequencies and look for the coveted “B20” marking. If it is not there, it is a former Chinese.
Pay attention to the photo of the packaging; on the back side, where the technical information is located, there should not be a single hieroglyph; if there are any, it is Chinese.
Global versions of smartphones come with a charger with a traditional Russian plug with round pins that fit our socket standard, while Chinese devices come with a plug with flat pins that are not included in our sockets.

What customizations are available for Xiaomi?

Note: each user can install custom firmware on Xiaomi, but at the same time he is responsible for his actions.
Important! If you are an inexperienced user and strongly doubt your abilities, refrain from reflashing it yourself. If the software is installed incorrectly, the phone may become unstable or become bricked.

Xiaomi, although reluctantly, allows you to unlock the bootloader on smartphones. Therefore, the company’s phones have a huge community of third-party developers who fix bugs in the official MIUI firmware, create patches to improve sound, camera, speed, etc.

For Xiaomi there are a “lot” of add-ons and custom firmware based on Flyme, Android, EMUI, OxygenOS, etc. Some of them are available through the Project Treble , which Google recently introduced to speed up the pace of updating all smartphones to the latest version of Android . But the vast majority of assemblies are made by enthusiasts for a specific model. We will tell you about the advantages of such systems.

Missing some features in MIUI 13 Global

For each generation of MIUI, Xiaomi releases several firmware versions. Usually they differ from each other in some way. The Chinese version, aimed at the Chinese market, is released as the main version and always receives a full set of new functionality. The Global version, which is released for other countries around the world, may not include all of these features. This happened with MIUI 13.

The following innovations are not available to users in the Global version:

New font Mi Sans.
New control center.
New store with widgets.
Some other graphic elements.

However, all the basic improvements in terms of security and privacy, performance, optimization, are integrated into the international version of the user interface.

FAQ

How can I find out the path where the downloaded firmware file is located?

This information is contained in the same “ROM Packages” tab - in the “Setting” item (gear icon in the upper corner).

What is the best way to download firmware for Xiaomi: through the official website or via MiFlashPro?

Both methods are safe and effective for the user and his mobile device. But it’s worth noting that searching for the required file on the developer’s website takes much more time than downloading it through the application. Therefore, owners of Xiaomi gadgets can safely give preference to the utility.

Is it possible to download the firmware from a third-party site and install it using the program?

Yes, each user is allowed to perform such actions. But it is important to remember that downloaded files may be viral, so it is recommended to check them before flashing the device.
