What's Inside

MIUI 9.2 Global Stable ROM – How to Download?

The users who are using MIUI 8 Global Beta ROM can grab your update three methods:

OTA (Over the Air) Method

The simplest, risk-free, and the easiest way to jump to MIUI 9 is Via OTA. But let us tell you that if you want to go from Stable to Beta Version of MIUI 9, OTA update is not possible. You have to use the Fastboot method or Recovery method. Here’s the OTA method mentioned in three simple steps:

Open Mi Updater App
Click software update
Confirm and Download the update

Or:

Go to Settings
Click My device
Go to MIUI version
Click System Update

Click the update now in the notification bar.
Wait for the downloading to complete
Click reboot

Meanwhile, the user who are using MIUI V5 / MIUI 6 / MIUI 7 / MIUI 8 stable ROM can upgrade their phones to MIUI 9 via the fastboot method.

Fast Boot Method

This one is a little bit complicated and risky. If you haven’t received the update for your supported phone, you can’t try this. Moreover, it’s the only way to shift from Stable to Beta or Beta to Stable ROM or Developer to Stable / Beta.

Before Fast-Booting

Unlocked Bootloader
Download & install Mi Flash Tool – here
Download the Fastboot ROM (will be in .tgz or .tar file)

If you face phone not getting detected,

Install Mi PC Suite – here
Download Drivers – here

How To Make a Local Backup?

Go to settings – additional settings – backup & reset
Click ‘Local backup – Backup’, to create the backup and move it to PC before flashing
Do remember, it includes only apps so multimedia files need to be backup separately

Steps Before Fast-booting

Switch off your phone, press and hold volume down and power button simultaneously, it should power up the phone with fastboot screen
Connect your phone via USB to PC, click ‘refresh’ button in flash tool app and it should show device ID.
If not, install Mi PC Suite and drivers posted above.
Extract the fastboot ROM you downloaded, to a folder on PC

During Fast-booting

Open MiFlash tool, and select ‘clean all’ in the right down corner
Click ‘Select’ and browse to a folder where you extracted the Fastboot ROM and click ‘Flash’

It will start flashing the phone and will take around 3-5 Minutes depending on the PC and device.
The device will reboot with MIUI 9.
