Guide

[Miui13]

The installation guide is hella confusing for a noob 1st installer like me. I'm average on computers but ur expecting every1 to know how to install miui13 my guide on how to install miui 13 this is the rough guide obviously no links but super ez to follow


This is my guide using the .bat command cuz the twrp way didn't work cuz its outdated
Compared to the forum guide this is hella easier
Download the miui 13 stable LATEST here


Extract the miui 13 zip file to the desktop there is no latest link in the mi 11 specific forum.

And the download page there r 3 versions of miui 13 on mi11 which 1 is stable? How am I ment to know I'm new


Enable developers options in settings - phone info. tap miui 12 logo 7 times and developer should be unlocked in settings


In settings and developer tools
Enable allow OEM unlock
Enable USB debugging

Unlock ur phone using this www.miuiunlock.com. Can take 7 days

U will need to download adb drivers HERE and the program HERE.
Install the adb drivers using this GUIDE
Run the unlock tool
Phone will WIPE EVERYTHING no1 told me this not even the guide . And and the phone will reboot after unlocking no information on how to install adb drivers. Needs more help info


Now restart phone in fastboot mode holding vol down and power button.
Run the windows_1st_time.bat by DOUBLE clicking the file in c:/mi11 or whereever u extracted. The guide tells u to run it? How do u run it?
Job done takes an 1 hour.

Dang

Whoever made the link to installing rom could make it a bit clearer

The official rom

 

[Schwarzzu]

Enable allow OEM unlock
Enable USB debugging

Whenever flashing, I haven't had the need to do these steps, booting into fastboot is enough, when mi account is added and unlocked, for fastboot installs, adb+drivers needed for twrp flashing.

 

[Miui13]

I Need adb drivers to make fastboot detect USB. For me

What if someone wipes system or persist? Asking for a friend, was there a tutorial how to fix the twrp loop?

asking for a friend try to flash the original rom with miflash and pray ... should be the easiest way

He needs a "special" guide for "special" people who use "r" instead of "are" and "ez" instead of "easy".
He can't even figure out "which one is stable" - a complaint I haven't heard so far.

This thread is ridiculous. If one can't figure out basic stuff like that (which is mostly automated) then he shouldn't be messing with modding, including flashing custom ROMs. We are not here to babysit "n00b first installers".

Well everyone was a first installer, me personally the first time here I didnt even know what was the locked bootloader, but after some time I Started to learn, no need for "special guides" the guide provided in every rom page was enough for me, Also putting the phone in fastboot and running a bat file is not That hard, twrp is harder if you Run into issues, but there are a lot of guides for those same errors, so, yeah, not That hard. Funny enough I flashed oficial miui 14 beta on top of xiaomi.eu latest miui13 beta, and it worked.
