Ye I did it from 7.2.12 to dev 6.4.14 two days ago via update, just download the zip, no need for Fastboot.

-Wipe cache\ wipe dalvik cache.
-Wipe data
-Wipe System
-Format Data: Is it optional?

I'm on Chinese stable 7.3.2.0 (Mi3). Can I use updater app to install the EU version? (7.3.2.0)
Or I should flash it using TWRP?

SOLVED

I flash it through Updater App. Everything went fine, and automatically has made wipe cache and data. I haven't lost anything but rom has been updated.

You ll need twrp but better miflash global dev 6.3.17 first to get a Chinese free phone.

10x for the answer.
I have already used TWRP to flash Stable 7.3.2.0. Looks clean. I think I will not miss the Chinese signs

I tried both ways and got better stability & speedy device starting from a miflash as it formats partitions unlike twrp approach that you just unzip over the existing.

Xiaomi.eu can be flashed using fastboot?

No

No

Then how can you use miflash? From what I know, miflash is working only with fastboot.

They have some unofficial xiaomi.eu roms over in the miui.en forum. Xiaomi.eu doesn't provide any fastboot rom that can be flashed with miflash officially.

Hi, I've just received Mi4s with miui by Xiaomi.eu.eu stable 7.2.5 LAJCNDA. The Updater say there are no updates available but I see that 7.2.8 and 7.3.1 are available! Since it seems the bootloader is blocked and I cannot go in recovery, how can I update? I downloaded the 7.2.8 and I've just tried to update via updater selecting the update package but I get an updater error any help?

I coudn't update latest xiaomi.eu gemini 7.3.4.0 stable with updater app it was possible only with twrp. Is it normal? Should I clean dalvik cache after update with twrp?

Is possible that Updater not work, already happened even with Redmi Notes 2. Is not necessary to make wipe

I bought Mi5 and Redmi 3 Pro from China.
They have some custom Rom on it and I wanted to change the ROM to "xiaomi.eu" latest ROM.

My first step is to root the devices? I noticed that I have to un-lock the Bootloader first, is this correct?

Yes, it is correct, you must first unlock bootloader > http://en.miui.com/unlock/

 

[Pertti Kosunen]

Yes, unlock first.

 

[rgxci]

Thanks a lot guys.
Is it true that it takes "ages"? :S

 

[MannyRibo]

In some cases yes. It's best to arrange an account with diamond status.

If you don't get verification sms in week, try to continue unlock from http://en.miui.com/unlock/, message could be delayed.

If you create different accounts for both phones with different phone number and email, you don't have to wait month for another unlock request.

 

[rgxci]

Ok.
Is there no other possibility to flash my device to another ROM?
