This problem is not uncommon and has been raised for many reasons:

- The current firmware version is installed.
Let's take a look at the skin's report from the knowledge points.
Custom firmware
If you bought a Xiaomi smartphone with delivery directly from China and there is Russian localization, there is a great deal of confidence in the fact that custom firmware is installed in it. Such firmware, as a rule, is created by amateur enthusiasts using the method of changing “for themselves” the specific features of the smartphone. In this case, by interfering with the output codes of the firmware, the possibility of updating it “on the fly” is wasted. automatic mode And then the smartphone will not be able to update and you will have to constantly use what was installed in the first place.
Custom firmware is the same, if they are created for smartphones, but they do not have global firmware versions and are only available in Chinese and English languages. In this case, users can change the firmware “ by folk craftsmen”, first of all, we are ready to completely remove the update.

The smartphone is currently running Android 6.0.1, version MIUI 8.2.10.0 (MAMMIEA).
on Narazi The new firmware is global, but the update to the beta version will not arrive automatically. This will be possible only after the release of a global stable version of the firmware. Go to new version At the same time, it is more difficult to use manual mode.
The most effective method is installation remaining version firmware for the retailer on Android 6.0 MIUI 8, and itself: MIUI 7.6.8. Why the simplest method? With this option, switching to Android 7 and MIUI 9 does not require unlocking the locker (after removing the blocking on all new Xiaomi devices), as well as installing a third-party TWRP downloader.
Important: System partition When flashing, it is cleared, so you need to transfer the downloaded information to a memory card or PC (photos, documents, etc.). This is how you can create a backup of your contacts, if synchronization with Google and MI is enabled.
WE INSTALL MIUI 7.6.8 FIRMWARE VIA THREE POINTS:
1. Necessary seduce for the opportunity From the official MIUI forum, the file with the firmware is transferred to the root of the smartphone’s memory card.
2. Then go to “Adjustment” - “About phone” - “System update”.
3. After checking the update, the system displays “No update” (as you have the latest version installed)
4. You need to put “3 dots” on the upper right corner of the screen.
5. In the drop-down menu, select the item “Vibrate firmware file.”
6. Next, go to the firmware file saved on the memory card, select it and stamp “OK”. Weather better with installed ones old version firmware, after which the smartphone will automatically reinstall and begin unpacking and installing the firmware. After installation is complete, show up standard window Installation of the MIUI 8 shell. After completing the initial setup (selecting a language, region, selecting topics, etc.), the desktop will appear.
At the initial adjustment stage, to speed up the process, you can skip the MI adjustment Google accounts, so we have to do another update to the latest firmware version. However, this data will not be saved, and if the smartphone is now paired, the data will have to be entered again.
The “About Phone” section now displays as follows:
Now, if we have installed the version of the firmware “For the retailer”, as it is called “Tizhnev”, it becomes available to us to update to the new firmware version MIUI 9 7.9.7, including “over the world”. What does this mean? As soon as you click “Check update” at the bottom of the screen, the system will automatically find the new firmware version and register and install it.
Now we have two options for upgrading to current version. First, here are more descriptions, when switching to version MIUI 7.6.8 (the firmware is updated in advance, transferred to the memory card and installed further through “3 dots” in the “System update” section). Other- this is simply an “on-the-fly” update, for which you simply update the installation by clicking the “Update” button, after which the firmware will be downloaded and the installation process will begin.
ABOUT VIDI MIUI
We were told about the MIUI video, but here we have a little time to repeat it.
What does MIUI 9 7.9.7 mean? The first number is the MIUI version (7, 8, 9 etc.). Coming numbers – release date, this application 7.9.7, the first number 7 is tserik (2017), the other number is the month (9 = spring), the third number is the day (7th day). Knowing how the firmware version is correctly decrypted, it is easy to understand which firmware is most relevant at the moment (as you can download the firmware yourself, from the Internet). For example, the latest firmware was as follows: MIUI 9 7.8.31 – MIUI version 9 dated September 31, 2017.
Please understand that the firmware is a beta version, although it is called Global (Global is due to the fact that there are a large number of languages that are supported, in addition to Chinese and English, This is implemented in the Chinese (China) firmware version), updated They will be released.
At the time of flashing and further testing of the smartphone, the current firmware version was 7.9.7, so this index itself appears in the screenshots.
The latest news is 7.9.15. The 14th of spring was released under the index 7.9.14, as it was due, with an interval of 7 days, and the 15th of spring, the explanation for any reason was changed to 7.9.15, perhaps another fix was added (FIX) system. The upcoming update will take place on the 21st or 22nd of Wednesday.

The battery testing was carried out only on one firmware. This screenshot shows that it took 26 minutes to discharge the battery by 4% (the most common test). The test was carried out with the screen at maximum brightness, with Wi-Fi turned down (SIM cards not inserted). According to these data, the smartphone can boast more than 10 years of screen operation (at maximum brightness) on a single battery charge – what a good showman!
VISNOVOK:
As it was transferred, the productivity of the device after flashing to Android 7 did not become significantly better or worse. All tests were passed with the same results, I would like to note that new firmware In most tests, the smartphone shows the best results, although not richly.
Also, the MIUI 9 firmware is currently in the Beta stage, which means that it is constantly being tested and refined, and it is possible that with the release of a new version, system productivity and interoperability will be improved face, an hour of work per battery charge and other moments.
We immediately switch to the beta version of the MIUI 9 firmware, please. There are some shortcomings in the firmware, for example, on version 7.9.7 there was a problem with adjustments touch buttons under the screen, when you try to recognize the additional action, the program crashes. For version 7.9.15, problem given bula usunena. The menu items present in the firmware are not translated (English language), but that is why everything should be corrected in the latest versions of the firmware.
Our first impressions of the firmware are less than positive. The fluidity of the robot interface has become a thing, programs are launched faster. Animation of icons has been added (this is also related to the topic). The system for setting up the desktop and sorting labels has been reworked. The “Safety” section has changed and new options have been added. By using the standard calculator correctly.
