We haveStable Global firmware with over-the-air (OTA) updates

Modern smartphones cannot be imagined without their main component – ​​the operating system. It is this that reveals to the user the enormous potential of a smartphone, allowing a person to work with a powerful device as conveniently and dynamically as possible. Absolutely all smartphones come off the assembly line with a pre-installed operating system.

Users who are not satisfied with the standard firmware have the opportunity to install their own, having a computer and a clear set of programs and drivers at hand. Firmware via MiFlash will help not only update the internal components, but also fix a huge number of problems, including bootlap, constant system errors and a “bricked” device.

What is needed for firmware

What will you need to have in order to successfully install new firmware?

• Computer running operating room Windows systems versions 7, 8, 8.1, 10 of any capacity ;
• The program that will be used to install the firmware (it will also install all the necessary drivers for operation). If you have installed old version, then before installing a new one, you must remove the old one.
• Downloaded firmware that needs to be installed on the phone. It must be up-to-date, stable and exactly suitable for your specific phone model. The firmware format should be ".tgz", if you only have ".gz", just rename its format.
• Your smartphone, its model must be no older than Xiaomi Mi3 and have a Qualcomm processor.

Installing MiFlash

Disabling driver verification

For proper interaction between a computer and a phone, you must have installed drivers on Windows. In order for them to be installed correctly into the system, you need to disable the function on your computer that verifies the authenticity of installed drivers - then the phone will be flashed without problems.

For Windows 7, restart your computer. Immediately after loading the BIOS, quickly press the F8 button several times (you may have a different key), through a short time A list of additional commands for loading the operating system will appear. In the "Advanced boot options" section, select "Disable driver signing requirement."

Remember this step, if, when following these instructions, problems arise with the driver installation, in the command line running as administrator, enter and run the following commands one after another:

bcdedit.exe /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

bcdedit.exe /set TESTSIGNING ON

After each command, check the computer's response that the command was completed successfully, then turn off and on the computer.

IN Windows environments 8, 8.1 and 10, hold down the Shift key on the keyboard, then use the mouse to reboot through the “Start” button. Follow the path by clicking the “Diagnostics”, “Advanced options”, “Boot options”, “Restart” buttons on the screen. The system will reboot; in the corresponding screen, press F7 to use the boot option “Disable mandatory driver signature verification”.

Launch MiFlash

1. Download the MiFlash program. The archive must be unpacked into a previously prepared folder with the same name along the path “C:\Android\”. To avoid syntax errors in all paths, use only the Latin alphabet, no Cyrillic alphabet, spaces and a minimum of characters.
2. Select the firmware that needs to be installed. Download it to your computer and unpack the archive into the above folder.
3. Run the program's executable file. Agree to start installing the drivers by clicking on the “Next” button (if the installation does not occur properly, see point 1). You will have to wait a while for the files to be unpacked and integrated into the system. After notification of successful installation, close the program window by clicking on the “End” button.

Connecting your phone to your computer

1. Now let's move on to the phone. Make sure it is charged at least 50%. Turn it off in the usual way, then switch it to “Fastboot” mode - turn it on with a special key combination, holding down the power button and the volume rocker down at the same time. After a short time, an image with a bunny wearing earflaps will appear.

1. When the phone is in this mode, connect it to the computer. It is highly advisable to use the cable that came with the phone - this will ensure the most stable connection. If you don't have one, just take the wire good quality. Insert the corresponding plug into Xiaomi device, plug the other end into the USB 2.0 connector on your laptop or computer.
2. Launch Command Prompt in Windows as Administrator. Using the command cd c:\Android\, go to the directory created earlier when installing the miflash program.
3. We check the “friendship” of the computer and phone - enter the command fastboot devices into the command line, after which an inscription similar to xxxxxxx fastboot will appear (it will mean that the synchronization was successful). If we see the message waiting for device on the screen, you need to check whether you forgot to connect the phone, and also check that the cable is working properly. Alternatively, reinstall the drivers.

1. Using the fastboot oem reboot-edl command, switch the smartphone to special mode"Emergency Download Mode". At this time, a sound notification notifies you about the appearance of a new device on your computer. The synchronization of the devices is completed, you can proceed directly to the firmware.

Phone firmware

1. Open the MiFlash program again. Click on the “Refresh” button, then use “..” to show the program the folder where you previously placed the necessary firmware.
2. Next, we need to choose whether we will save the data on the phone or completely delete everything. As a rule, the second option is recommended; then the firmware will be installed most correctly. Click on the “Flash all except storage” button in order to leave the data on the phone; for complete formatting, select “Flash all”. After making your selection, click on “Flash”. Then the program will perform the selected action and the firmware will begin Xiaomi Redmi 3S (or any other).

1. The speed of installation of the operating system depends on the size of the firmware itself, the speed of the cable and the speed of the memory inside the device. In any case, a time investment of 10 minutes to 1 hour is quite normal.
2. After MiFlash is completed, the phone will reboot on its own. If automatic reboot was not executed, in the command line Windows line run the command fastboot oem reboot-edl, or press and hold the power button on the phone for a while until the display shows company logo firmware. Then carefully disconnect the cable from the smartphone.
3. After installing the new firmware, the phone will take a relatively long time to boot for the first time. Depending on the technical nuances of the operating system, the boot logo can hang from 5 minutes to half an hour. In exceptional cases, you can try to wait 1-2 hours provided that the phone is connected to the charger.

Possible problems

If no changes are observed on the screen for a long time, try removing the battery for 20-25 minutes, then inserting it back and starting the smartphone again. If this does not help, leave it turned on for a long time so that its battery is completely discharged (do not forget about the phone in this form for a very long time, no more than 4-8 hours (depending on the battery capacity and its age) to avoid serious problems with the battery). After the phone turns off, connect it to the charger and turn it on again.

If the steps described above do not help, try installing a different firmware, or reinstalling the previously selected one.

If during the installation of the operating system a notification appears that there is not enough memory to perform this operation, try repeating the instructions on Windows x64. If changing the OS bit depth does not help, you will have to use another very popular installation program - Flashtools.

If the error “remote-Need to unlock the devices to use this command” appears, then you need to contact the official MIUI website with a request to unlock the bootloader to install the firmware, details can be read in.

Bottom line

By following these instructions, you can flash any phone with an unlocked bootloader using MiFlash with a suitable operating system Android, which will help to customize the phone as much as possible to the needs of an individual user. Correcting software errors, restoring “bricks” or simply replacing the internal components of the smartphone will help you use the phone for its intended purpose.
