yeah but that's mainly for phoens which don't have the global rom

well if you really don't wanna flash the global rom you can follow that i guess

I guess I will flash it

it is safe, right?

the link you provided is indeed the correct one

at least it looks like that https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/7fae3g/is_the_official_global_rom_for_the_mi_note_3/

well people say it's safe

i'd suggest perhaps making a reddit post on /r/xiaomi

they're super helpful

just to be extra safe

If you upgrade from MIUI Stable ROM based on Android M to MIUI Developer ROM based on Android N, please flash it via Fastboot update

this was from the flashing guide

what fastboot update means exactly?

powerbutton + vl up

what's android M though

marshmellow

that shouldn't be relevant to you

yep

it isnt

you still need to enter fastboot

to flash using miflasher

so I dont need to wipe the phone before right?

it wouldnt be a big deal for me btw

uhh it will automatically wipe it yes

there is nothing installed lol

you'll just need to setup it again that's all

just scanned my fingerprint basically

nice

this time with all the google botnet services

at one point, i would recommend you unlocking bootloader, and flashing xiaomi.eu rom

if you'll like using MIUI, but that doesn't matter now

Can you flash miui without a unlocked bootloader?

yeah

if you flash official

sir

I used the power button + vl up

now there are 3 options here

Oh hey Waddup

reboot / wipe data / connect w/ MIAssistant

I'm trying to make a movie theater experience
