Os telemóveis Xiaomi têm um excelente apoio do fabricante e, com frequência invejável, recebem novas versões de software. The most convenient option to update is to download the firmware “by air”, but it is not always possible. So you need to find where you can download the firmware for Xiaomi.
It would seem that the task at hand is simple, but with selecting the correct firmware, many users have questions that lead to malfunctions. So let’s look into it. For example, let’s take one of the most popular smartphones – the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10.
Passo 1: Escolher o firmware correto para o seu modelo
Tenha em atenção que tem de descarregar o arquivo com o firmware a partir da página oficial do Fórum MIUI em inglês! Always use official releases. Localized or unofficial firmware downloads only from developers’ websites.
- We see a list of all the models of Xiaomi phones. We choose our trial version – Redmi Note 5.
- É apresentada uma página separada onde se clica no grande símbolo verde “Download” botão. Alguns modelos têm vários separadores. Por exemplo, no Mi 12, existem separadores com firmware Global, Europeu e Indiano (a versão Global também tem MIUI Stable e MIUI Beta).
- Starts downloading the archive. The file size usually varies between 1.5Gb – 2Gb, so it may take a few hours if the Internet is slow.
Passo 2: MIUI Stable ou MIUI Beta
Inexperienced users, who have recently become familiar with Xiaomi products, are often perplexed: what is the difference between the developer firmware, for example, and global firmware, and global firmware from Chinese firmware? We answered this question in a separate article, but we’ll repeat it here.
A construção semanal (also known as the developer’s one) is the first to receive the latest updates every week. The developer has just tested the firmware, which is already available to the user. But there are a lot of disadvantages, especially for newer models: frequent glitches, slowdowns, and some functions may not work. In short, this is still a “raw” version of MIUI.
Mas o compilação estável is another matter. The company has tested the shell, removed all the shortcomings, and only then distributes it. But with this firmware, you will get updates much less often than with the developer’s firmware (about once every two months).
Which option is more acceptable for you – decide for yourself, everything is individual. Do you like to experiment and try new things? Then give preference to the development version. Do you like stability? The stable version is for you.
Step 3: Installing the firmware via “Three Dots”
Let’s briefly describe the easiest method of updating – através da tecnologia OTA. Don’t forget that the downloaded firmware can always be installed with Fastboot or Recovery.
- Transfira o arquivo descarregado do computador para o telemóvel.
- No telefone, aceda a “Settings” and aberto “About phone” – “Update”.
- Depois, vemos o ícone do ponto triplo no canto superior e definir o caminho para o ficheiro de firmware utilizando o motor de busca incorporado.
- Concordamos com todos os requisitos do sistema e o procedimento de atualização é iniciado.
Depois disso, a identificação da versão do firmware será iniciada e o telemóvel será reiniciado no modo de atualização. Pode demorar até 5 minutos.
