Initially, the smartphone was flashed on Android 6.0.1., version MIUI 8.2.10.0 (MAMMIEA).

At the moment, the new firmware is global, but updates to the beta version over the air do not automatically come. This will be possible only after the release of the global stable firmware version. Go to new version currently only possible in manual mode.

The easiest way is to install the latest version of the "For Developer" firmware on Android 6.0 MIUI 8, namely: MIUI 7.6.8. Why is this the easiest way? With this option of switching to Android 7 and MIUI 9, you do not need to unlock the bootloader (by default it is blocked on all new Xiaomi devices), as well as installing a third-party TWRP bootloader.

Important: The system partition is cleared during flashing, so you need to transfer the information you are interested in to a memory card or PC (photos, documents, etc.). Also make a backup of contacts if synchronization with Google and MI account is disabled.

INSTALL MIUI 7.6.8 FIRMWARE THROUGH THREE POINTS:
1. Required download from the link from the official MIUI forum the firmware file and transfer it to the root of the smartphone's memory card.
2. Then go to "Settings" - "About phone" - "System update".
3. After checking for updates, the system will display "No updates" (if you have the latest version installed)

4. You must click "3 dots" in the upper right corner of the screen.

5. In the drop-down menu, select the "Select firmware file" item.

6. Next, go to the firmware file saved on the memory card, select it and click "OK". Agree to install more old version firmware, after which the smartphone will automatically reboot and proceed to unpack and install the firmware. After the installation is completed, the standard MIUI 8 shell welcome window will appear. initial setup(language selection, region selection, theme selection, etc.), the desktop appears.

At the initial setup stage, to speed up the process, you can skip the MI settings and Google accounts, as we have yet another update to a more recent firmware version. This data will still not be saved, and the next time you set up your smartphone, you will have to enter the data again.

The About Phone section will now display the following:

Now that we have installed the "For Developer" firmware version, the so-called "Weekly", we can update to a newer version of the MIUI 9 7.9.7 firmware, including "over the air". What does it mean? If you now press the bottom of the screen "Check for updates", the system will automatically find a newer version of the firmware and offer to install it.

We now have two options for upgrading to current version. First, this is described above, when switching to version MIUI 7.6.8 (preliminary download of the firmware, transfer to a memory card and further installation through "3 points" in the "System Update" section). Second- this is just an over-the-air update, for this, we simply agree to install the update by clicking the "Update" button, after which the firmware will be downloaded and the installation process will begin.

ABOUT MIUI KINDS
We talked in detail about the types of MIUI, but here we will tell a little repetition for the sake of it.

What does MIUI 9 7.9.7 mean? The first digit is the MIUI version (7, 8, 9, etc.). The following numbers are the release date, in this example 7.9.7, the first digit 7 is the year (2017), the second digit is the month (9 = September), the third digit is the day (7th). Knowing how the firmware version is correctly decrypted, it is easy to understand which firmware is more relevant at the moment (if you download the firmware yourself from the Internet). For instance, previous firmware was this: MIUI 9 7.8.31 - MIUI version 9 of August 31, 2017.

It should be understood that the firmware is a beta version, although it is called Global (Global means the presence of a large number of supported languages, except for Chinese and English, as implemented in the Chinese (China) version of the firmware), updates will be released weekly .
At the time of the flashing and further testing of the smartphone, the current firmware version was 7.9.7, so this index will appear on the screenshots.

Now relevant is 7.9.15. On September 14, it was released under the index 7.9.14, as it should have been, with an interval of 7 days, but on September 15, the developer, for some reason, renamed it to 7.9.15, apparently, some other fixes (FIX) of the system were added. Next update should be expected on September 21 or 22.

After rolling back to MIUI 7.6.8 and checking available updates At the moment, it will be prompted to install the MIUI 7.9.15 version.

AnTuTu Battery Test

Battery testing was carried out on only one firmware. From the screenshot, you can see that it took 26 minutes to drain the battery by 4% (the fastest test). The test was conducted with the maximum brightness of the screen, with Wi-Fi turned on (no SIM cards installed). Based on these indicators, the smartphone boasts more than 10 hours of screen operation (at maximum brightness) on a single battery charge - this is a very good indicator!

CONCLUSION:

As expected, the performance of the device after flashing to Android 7 did not become significantly better or worse. All tests passed with the same results, although it is worth noting that on new firmware, in most tests, the smartphone performs better, though not by much.

Also, the MIUI 9 firmware is now in the Beta stage, which means that it is constantly being tested and improved, and it is possible that with the release of a more recent version, system performance, interface speed, battery life and other points will be improved. .

Whether it is worth switching to the beta version of the MIUI 9 firmware now is up to you. Small flaws in the firmware are found, for example, on version 7.9.7 there was a problem with the settings touch buttons under the screen, when trying to assign an additional action, the application crashed with an error. In version 7.9.15, this problem has been eliminated. There are not translated menu items in the firmware ( English language), but this will most likely be fixed in future firmware versions.

Our first impressions of the firmware are only positive. The speed of the interface has become higher, applications run faster. Added icon animation (only works with the default theme). The system for setting up the desktop and sorting shortcuts has been redesigned. The "Security" section has changed, new features have been added. The standard calculator began to work correctly.

Unlock bootloader Xiaomi Redmi 4 and flash localized or custom firmware

How to know if the bootloader is locked on Xiaomi Redmi 4 / 4A?

If you receive a Device unlocked response: true feel free to continue.

I had a phone with the official Chinese firmware MIUI 8.0 Stable 8.0.5.0 and the check naturally gave the result - false.

To unlock the bootloader, you need Chinese developer firmware for Redmi 4 China developer 6.12.22, for Redmi 4A China Developer 8.1.2.0

When you try to install the firmware immediately in a fastboot through mi flash, the error “Flash error” flies out, so let's look further:

It is necessary to send the phone to download mode from fastboot - to do this, turn off the phone, hold down the Volume- and Power keys, after loading the rabbit in the earflap will appear again, connect the cable. We go to the adb folder on drive C. After that, in the command line (shift + right-click, then open the command window), you need to enter the following:
C:/adb fastboot oem edl
Of course, you can try to enter the download mode like this - hold down the volume + and power, select download on the screen
The screen will go out - this means the phone has entered the download. To prevent the phone from turning on by itself, unplug the cable.
In MiFlash I chose the firmware, at the bottom there is a tick All clean, and on the right All flash, connect the phone and press Refresh and then only Flash.

We enter the account, we synchronize. We go into the settings, tap on the firmware version - activate the developer mode. we go there, find the factory unlock permission slider and turn on usb debugging.
Download MiUnlock and go to your account. We turn off the phone and enter the fastboot, connect the phone, press the unlock, it can freeze by 50% and stand for a long time.

Installing custom TWRP recovery and root + SuperSU on Xiaomi Redmi 4

If you have reached this moment then all drivers and ADB must be installed on the computer, if not, then download and install.
Next, we need the custom recovery itself, download cofface twrp recovery Xiaomi Redmi 4 is also suitable for miui 7 and miui 8
Download SuperSU for Redmi 4
In the smartphone settings, turn on “USB debugging” (click on the “build number” 7 times, the “for developers” menu will appear and there the switch is on.)
The downloaded TWRP is placed in the ADB folder, renaming it to “recovery.img” The ADB folder should look like this or something like this
Now go to the c ADB folder and open the terminal by pressing and holding shift key, and right click anywhere in that folder, and in the menu “open command prompt window”
Then we connect the phone to the computer and reboot the device into fastboot mode, on the switched off phone, holding down the button “ Power + Volume down"At the same time. A hare and the inscription fastboot will appear on the body screen.
We check the connection of the phone with the computer, for this we enter the fastboot devices command in the terminal and press enter.

If so, let's sew. To do this, enter the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img command in the terminal and press enter. The window should look like this

Everything, TWRP is stitched. During the initial boot, the phone may not enter TWRP using the buttons. Exit - enter the command in the terminal - fastboot boot recovery.img press enter and the phone will reboot into TWRP, well, or try to hold and hold the power + volume up buttons, release when the “Mi” icon appears.

Choose a language in TWRP recovery that you understand. If it asks for a password, click cancel. Further, the “date” section is locked and is not mounted in TWRP recovery, so if there are firmware files or something else on the body, TWRP recovery simply will not see them. To check this, in trvp we go to the mount and put a tick on data. If the checkbox is checked, go to the recovery section, find the sdcard, open it, if you see your folders and files (I didn’t see it), then you don’t need to format the data. Copy the “supersu” application to the memory of the smartphone and install it.

In TWRP recovery, go to the Wipe section and click “format data” and in the window that opens “yes”
After all these procedures, in order to avoid bugs, many advise you to restart TWRP. To do this, go to the main recovery screen and press reboot, then press reboot in Recovery. You will restart in recovery.

Installing custom firmware on Xiaomi Redmi 4 via TWRP recovery

First you need to download the firmware for Xiaomi Redmi 4 under TWRP in ***.zip format, for example:

Download custom firmware for Redmi 4 – GreatSlon ROM 6.12.8 (MIUI 8) , MultiRom (MIUI 8) , Xiaomi.eu 6.12.15 (MIUI 8)

We boot into TVRP (on the phone turned off, we simultaneously hold down the power and volume buttons +. When the Mi logo appears, release the buttons and wait for the boot to TWRP). Connect in TWRP recovery mode Xiaomi phone Redmi 4 to a PC, he should see it, we throw on it, a pre-downloaded firmware for trvp.
