One of the best-selling phones in recent times is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro , a model with a great reception in Spain and in much of the world. This has caused many users to be eager to enjoy the update to MIUI 12, but unfortunately it is taking longer to arrive than what happens with other devices. Something that has an explanation and solution that we are going to explain.
Due to its characteristics, among which it includes a large 4,500 mAh battery, a 6.53-inch screen and, above all, its attractive price, this model has become the most recommended in terms of value for money from Xiaomi. But in turn, it causes developers to have to be very careful with the update and be careful not to make mistakes that affect millions of users around the world.
The first update was just a beta
Although MIUI 12 officially made its appearance on this Redmi model in early July, this version was not intended for all users, only those who have entered the Xiaomi Mi Pilot program that gives us access to the preliminary versions of MIUI . The company itself tried to explain that although the ROM was accessible by anyone through advanced methods, it was not recommended to do so as it could cause irreparable damage.
MIUI 12 begins to update in the global version
Both in the Xiaomi forums and in some publications we may have found that the stable update for the Redmi Note 8 Pro was beginning to arrive. However, this is not entirely true, at least in Spain where the majority of users do not have the global version but use the European version. This we can find out by going to Settings> On the phone and looking at the MIUI version we can see that it has the EU in case it is the European one.
The stable European version will receive MIUI 12 soon, although without a specific date, which means that if we do not want to please ourselves and we only want to receive the performance through an OTA, we can only wait longer. Once it is launched we will notify you on our site so that you know about its changes and news.
How to get update the Redmi Note 8 Pro now
The steps we must follow to get the update to MIUI 12 on the Redmi Note 8 Pro require a computer, some patience and decision. We will have to change the ROM to be able to enjoy it and therefore use the global version instead of the European one. The Spanish language will continue to be present although we will see some minimal changes in options. First of all we recommend making a copy of all the files, photos and contents of our mobile to another device because they will be lost.
We are going to carry out this process with the help of Mi Flash, the Xiaomi tool to change the ROM in a quick and simple way. We will start by downloading My Flash and installing it like any other program. Then when starting it we will install the drivers and finally we will have to download the global ROM for the Redmi Note 8 Pro already with MIUI 12 from this link .
- Once downloaded we just have to add it to our My Flash program.
- We will do this by pressing select and looking for the file in the folder where we have saved it.
- Then we turn off our mobile, keeping connected to the computer.
- Next we are going to hold down the power and volume down buttons until Mitu appears.
- In the fastboot we only have to follow the steps that appear on the computer and complete it.
