Mi Max Helium 3gb/64gb - first review (and ROM flash tips) - Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi,
guess this will be more of a review as it is hard to say which feature i like BEST:
Got my MAX 3gb/64gb (helium) delievered yesterday. Since it came with the 7.3 MIUI first thing i had to do was read up on how to install the MIUI8 China dev rom to the device. After a bit of fiddling and translating chinese / indian websites i came up with a workable solution, even with the bootloader locked. So since yesterday evening i got MIUI8 6.6.23 running on the device - weeded out some apps i did not understand (chinese) and installed Play Store.
So far i must say - this phone is glorious. MIUI8 is fast and seemingly stable, i did not come across any big bugs and there doesnt even seem to be the typical micro-stuttering. Im really happy i bought the phone and hoping there will be a multilanguage (i.e. german) MIUI8 for it. For now im perfectly good with the Dev Rom and english localisation.
Thanks Xiaomi!
To anybody interested - flashing the China Development ROM (MIUI 8 6.6.23) with the locked bootloader was not exactly easy, here is how to:
- get the rom image from here: http://en.miui.com/thread-299033-1-1.html (be sure to download the Mi Max Pro fastboot image - 1418mb)
- get MiFlash Beta from here: http://xiaomitips.com/download/new-miflash-beta-one-click-install-miui-fastboot-rom/
- extract tgz fastboot image - keep folder structure!
- enable developer options -> usb debugging in additional settings then turn off phone
- boot phone into EDL mode (phone off, press simultaneously vol+&vol- then connect usb cable)
- open miflash beta - there should be an entry with "id 1" and "device" something like "COM10" in the bottom table now - SEE ATTACHED SCREENSHOTS!
- select the folder where extracted image is located
- tick "clean all" in the bottom right
- hit flash
- enjoy.

First of all, thank you for sharing this. I went step by step (vol up and down didn't work for me, tried power and vol up and device didn't show up in fast boot, did vol down and power and it showed up) then I flashed the image and it successfully flashed, when the device booted it still showed the 7.4.16 global stable Rom the vendor installed : /, I did it again and the same thing, the rom didn't change. could you please help/?

Sorry, I followed the steps exactly as described and it worked out perfectly, thank you very much, its just that when I pressed vol + and - I didn't see anything on the screen so I thought it wasn't working, miui 8 is nice indeed, could you explain how you installed the play store, the one on the Mi store is crashing on me.

it's a little tricky but there is a thread on here that should get you started. you have to use the Google installer and then update some Google components before you restart your phone.

Nothing is impossible... Unlock bootloader (not even required anymore), flash TWRP, flash latest SuperSu or prerooted ROM... Done.

6.6.23 is older (june 23)
6.7.7 is the newest sofar (July 7)
I use the weekly multi rom on my MI Max since its better tuned with translations and the china apps that I don't use are removed
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-7-7-11.32639/

the process for installing the new Version does not change with the newer miui8 6.7.7 so you're good to go with the same Instructions from OP.
Meanwhile on my Max I have boot loader unlocked and root. Works flawlessly with the new MIUI weekly Releases.

Would you mind pointing that thread where it's explained?

Thanks a lot for you experience sharing,
I was wondering maybe you solved this: i can't get whatsapp to run on this rom, even with all permissions given, whatapps and skype cant access my contacts. I got my contacts on the system using the old google installer apk which worked wonders except now i can't get past the looking for backup screen in whatsapp.
If anyone has ideas pls let me know and in the meanwhile i will try to flash other roms to see if one works..

I answered my own question playing with the settings. You have to register under accounts mi accounts to unable contact sync for all apps .... ? anyway it all works now!
BTW I have updated MUIU using http://en.miui.com/download-302.html#446 new dev rom and followed instructions.

Thanks heaps for the tutorial about installing Google Play services
By the way, can this rom you're talking about be flashed following the instructions by original poster?
Do I need to flash in first place the rom from original poster (MIUI 8 6.6.23) and then flash your new one (MIUI 8 6.7.14)?
Or can I flash directly latest one?

I can't tell you for sure but i think you have to use the instructions from the muiu site if you want the lastest dev rom.
1- I used OP instructions and links to install muiu 8
2- updated to last china dev rom following muiu site instructions.
3- installed all gapps stuff
PS if you want to ROOT, do this between 2 and 3: (unlocked boot loader)
1-Download SuperSu to root Xiaomi Mi Max and copy it to your phone sd card from this site: http://www.stechguide.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-xiaomi-mi-max/
2-Download xiaomi twrp flasher and use it to flash from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/development/tool-xiaomi-twrp-flasher-mauronofrio-win-t3405207
3-Follow instructions from step 9 : http://www.stechguide.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-xiaomi-mi-max/
Last thing im playing with trying to activate LTE bands on the phone. If anyone can help for that, i can't get the drivers to install propertly

Bootloader Unlocking - 100% PERFECT:
100% Working Bootloader unlocking solution for Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. You dont even need confirmation from Xiomi. You can UNLOCK / RE-LOCK Bootloader at any time...
Trust me, I have personally tested and unlocked my device. Follow steps mentioned over here : Click here
Conclusion : Dont wait for Xiamo to get the permission to unlock ur device. Follow above method. Altough u get permission, at least 95% chances that Mi Unlock application fails. I was trying with Mi unlock app for days and even following up in mi forums, with no working solution. They simply said, try it after a week... So, I dont want some one to waste their valuable time like me...

There are two ways,
1. Flashing Fastboot rom from mi forum will relock your Boot loader.
2. From the above mentioned tutorial, backup the original "fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn" file and it will relock the bootlader. optionally, you can try "fastboot oem lock" command as well.

On POST 3, I have given the link to the complete process and it works perfectly.
So, barely, its like, flashing 7.1.7 or 7.1.8 version with CHANGED MBN file. (MBN file is the main file which will allow unlocking from Fastboot command)
After flashing with changed MBN file, run the FASTBOOK OEM UNLOCK_GO command to unlock the file.
Then, u can check FASTBOOT OEM DEVICE-INFO to check the status. Then, flash other OS like CM12/13 or Qualcommn rom.
If u want MIUI os then, use FASTBOOT command to flash TWRP and reboot to TWRP. Then, download RECOVERY ZIP file and with WINZIP replace MBN and Changed BOOTLOADER (TWRP) file and then flash that file in TWRP. These steps are like an overview of the process, if u want more info, u can google it or check, MI forum
Hey guys I'm thinking of buying this phone the 32gb/3gb SD650 version to be specific and it's nice it's getting a custom roms just like the mtk version. How's the CM12/13 roms as for now overall? Stability, battery you know.. are these roms suitable for daily use? Btw now I have a K3 Note.
Custom ROMs are at very early stage and are not suitable for daily usage. As the kernel drivers are already out, we hope stable version will come soon... Qualcomm factory ROM is stable but feels slow...
Subbed and rated. Thanks for updating ^^
Direct Link to OTA for 7.2.3 is updated in first post. If anyone didnot get the OTA, download 190+MB zip file and put zip file in folder: /internalstorage/downloaded_rom/ Then, updater to update to new version of stock.

Nope, u ll not brick your phone. I have done that and it works flawlessly... I have unlocked bootloader and installed Qualcomm and CM12 roms and again flashed stock OTA via MI updater app. I didnt have any problem.
Although its not for novice users, in most of the cases, hardware bricking a phone is almost not possible, unless, u try to play directly with hardware. And, softbrick will easily be recoverable(Well u need a PC and drivers for sure)... its just like, when u r not able to run the OS in your phone, then, repair shop guy will just flash the stock rom and will give it back to you.... Just, thats what we are doing with MI updater. As mentioned earlier, this may not be for normal user...
Anyway, Thread 2 updated with new tutorial on How to flash OTAs without relocking your phone...

To unbrick your phone, try this: [Guide] Un-brick both (Soft/Hard) bricked Zenfone 2 ze550ml/ze551ml
Apparently, the custom MM ROM has the same implications the official one. I was thinking to flash raw image like the @Russiamen upgrade guide. Maybe this way the system would be closest to stock and reduce the brick chances.

Yes, mine is working 100% fine, keep all my Maps and Spotify data on it.
Thanks, I will try it later.
What is this thread doing here...!? Did you build/developed anything! At least you could've integrated all "fixes" in a single install package... Otherwise what's different from other guides we already have.

because in China they have 3 different Mi Max 3 variants: Nitrogen, Helium and Hydrogen, and the first firmware on the Chinese download page is to the 32GB Hydrogen Mi Max 3, which will actually work!

What? Mi Max 3 has just "nitrogen" codename.
"helium" and "hydrogen" are just Mi Max 1! First one is equipped with Snapdragon 652, second one is equipped with Snapdragon 650. I guess that if you'll flash helium/hydrogen firmware on nitrogen you'll get bricked

Have try a lot of GSI rom on Max 3 and it's never smooth and stable like Miui (Xiaomi.eu for me)....wait a true custom rom
Totally agree with you
What happens if I don't install Chinese ROM, and flash this Pixel Experience ROM on Xiaomi.eu right away?

I agree, they all have too many issues. It's been 7 months now and we don't have any custom ROM's despite this being one of the most popular Xiaomi phones (according to their offical forums and rom download stats), so why the hell is nooone developing for it? At this rate the Mi Max 4 will be out before the we even have a single native custom ROM.
I to was pissed off because there are no custom romI order another phone, not xiaomi and when i receive it will sell my mi max 3.I am not sure that will try xiaomi phones again..
I'm currently using Miui PRO - latest version and it is Android 9 - working flawlessly, no errors found so far and battery is pretty amazing Go on and try it guys, it's the best thing and it is regularly updated. Not changing my Mi Max 3 for anything so far. The russians have done amazing job with this rom
Havoc 2.0 is epic on this phone guys. I have been using for over a month now and its solid. Few issues were BT audio and adaptive brightness for which there are fixes. I using it right now and its solid and as stable as can be

changelog
Hello,
Where I can find the changelog of new update ??
Magisk ERROR: 1
Hi. Pretty nice ROM, but I have a problem with installing Magisk. It's showing ERROR: 1 (Magisk 20.4). Any ideas?
@edit 05/05/20:
I found a solution, if someone has same problem: watch?v=NmEzjTG0cTI
TWRP Version
Thanks for build this ROM,
What version of TWRP is used to install this ROM and this ROM included Frimware?
Hello,
I just wanted to say that ROM is awesome stable so far never had any issue except sometimes my mic got disabled suddenly, ppl can't hear me in records calls anything and only restart fixes this issue otherwise all good 2 weeks nw.
Same problem here of the mic which is extremely annoying + having a bad mobile data signal otherwise, a really good rom
Hello, I downloaded the latest version of the firmware and cannot answer the call. When someone calls you, the phone does not respond, and no dialog box pops up to answer the call.
Hi, now I'm downloading. I'll flash clean. I was on Pixel Rom but I just tried MIUI12 EU Rom and it sucks... Errhhggg...
I'll flash this clean. Hope to won't back MIUI12...
Mic not working after use google assistant, and must reboot to make it work.
Evolution-X provides updates via OTA? I think Xiaomi is not going to update anymore and I am thinking of putting Evolution-X among other candidates ...
