Hello! In this article we will talk about the powerful Chinese flagship from Xiaomi, which is called "Xiaomi Mi3". This device has a set of pretty powerful components, see:

  • 5 inches screen with a resolution of 1080x1920 px.;
  • rear camera on 13 megapixel with autofocus and flash;
  • accumulator battery capacity of 3050 mAh;
  • satellite navigation GPS / GLONASS;
  • set of standard communications (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.).
A smartphone is performed in two versions - 16 GB and 64 GB of internal memory. It is not possible to increase this space, not provided by the manufacturer, so it is better to immediately choose a phone with a large volume. Another problem of this device is the lack of Russian localization in the standard firmware version. But it has already become possible to correct this situation. Russian firmware for Xiaomi MI3 is available for downloading on the link below, download it and carefully study the installation instructions.

Before the appearance in the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 bracelet, the support of the Russian language does not have to expect the release of the global version. If you are one of the happy owners, do not rush to learn Chinese - in just a few minutes you can Russify the bracelet.

We have prepared two instructions for you. Here is the first:

You will need:
- Bracelet Xiaomi Mi Band 3
- Android smartphone
- Acting MI account.

If you have an iPhone, go to the advice after the instruction!

Step 1: Delete the Mifit application

In order to simplify the task as much as possible, we will use the MIFIT modified application. It already includes a firmware for Xiaomi Mi Band 3 with Russian.

Delete the Mifit application (if it was installed on the Android smartphone).

Step 2: Download and install Custom MIFIT Application

Download the application from the following link. Please note that you need to enable installation support from "unfamiliar sources" to android settings. If the installation from unknown sources is prohibited, the smartphone will inform you about it. Turn the checkbox in the "Security" section Android and click on the downloaded application again.

Step 3: Synchronizing Xiaomi Mi Band 3 with Mifit to install the Russian version of the firmware

Run the previously downloaded Mifit applications. Now you need to enter your MI account.
it an important point, do not ignore it! The application uses the possibility of login with social network - However, to Russify Xiaomi Mi Band 3, you should use exclusively your MI-account.

At this stage, difficulties are possible - do not worry if you did not manage to enter the first attempt.
The reliable cause of problems with login to the MI account from the custom application is unknown.

If you overcame this item, then the most difficult behind, cheers!

If you failed to enter the MI account even after a variety of attempts, do not despair, go to the second version of the instruction (it is below the text).


If you managed to log without the MI account, delete the application and return to the second step of this instruction.

Step 4: Connect Xiaomi Mi Band 3 and the Russian firmware will be automatically installed


If you have successfully entered using the MI account, turn on your MI Band 3 and start the connection process in the MI application. Follow the instructions in the application and tips on the MI Band 3 screen, the firmware update process will start automatically!

A few minutes later, you will get a completely Russian firmware on Xiaomi Mi Band 3. After installing the firmware, you will wait until the application will download the Russian versions of the bracelet programs. Hooray!

Now you know how to add the support of the Russian language to the new sports bracelet. !

In case you are more convenient to watch the video process, you can repeat all the steps here:


What if you have an iPhone or iPad?

If you use your MI Band 3 in a bundle with iPhone, act like this:

1. Take the bracelet from the iPhone in the MIFIT application, if it was previously tied

2. Find Android-Smartphone, and act according to the instructions described above

3. Take the bracelet from Mifit on the Android smartphone and tie it to the iOS application

Ready, you have Russian MI Band 3!

What if this instruction does not work? Try the instructions 2!


Take advantage of the second instruction, it will require a little longer, but guaranteed to help Russify your bracelet.

As usual, first you will need:
- Mi Band 3
- Android device
- the official MI FIT application (from Google Play.)
- Additional GadgetBridge application
- Download Russian firmware file (* .fw)

Step 1: Install the Mifit application and make a pairing with a bracelet

The original MI FIT application (version from the previous instructions is not suitable!) Must be installed on your phone and associated with MI Band 3.

Install the last official MI FIT from GooglePlay so that recent resources and official firmware are loaded and installed on the bracelet (yet - without Russian). Once your fitness tracker is connected and running properly with the original Mifit, you can follow the next steps.

Step 2: Turn on MIFIT Visibility Mode

An important step is to include "Visibility Mode" in Mifit so that other applications can detect your bracelet:
Find visibility mode in the Mifit application and turn it on.

Step 3: Install the GadgetBridge application

You need to install a modified GADGETBRIDGE application on the Android device. Upon completion of the installation process, open the GadgetBridge and provide all permissions.

Then in the GADGETBRIDGE application, press the round blue button (with the "+" sign inside, is in the lower right corner) to add a new device.

The progress of the scan can take a few minutes and may even fail. In this case, try to stop the GadgetBridge and try to try (on Android\u003e 6.0) or restart the gadget and start everything from step 2.

If the GadgetBridge still cannot find your bracelet, disconnect the Bluetooth, restart the phone, open the GADGETBRIDGE and allow it to turn it on Bluetooth. Please note that the location service must be enabled to detect new Bluetooth devices.

You will see MI Band 3 displayed in the list. Click on it, and then click on the "Back" button (arrogant in the upper left corner). If everything was done correctly, you can see the conjugate device directly in the GadgetBridge's main menu with a blue icon and the "connected" status.

Step 4: Install the firmware using GadgetBridge

By connecting your bracelet in GadgetBridge, you are ready to install the Russian firmware.
To install the firmware, open your file manager, Locate the firmware file (* .fw), click on it and select "Open with the GadgetBridge" (if something goes wrong, try another file manager).

According to the GeekDoing and w3bsit3-ntest community information, it is better to enable the "Flight" mode during firmware and not to use MIFIT, since at any time a notification can come, which can disrupt the firmware process.

In order for your smartphone ChiaMi Redness of the Third Generation (including the Note 3 model) all the time worked at the maximum level of performance, you need to follow recent changes in software for it. Optimally, if fresh firmware is installed on Xiaomi Redmi 3, and it can be updated "by air". If the phone stopped being updated, you need to personally follow the firmware update for it.

With the advent of the new firmware Xiaomi Redmi 3, you will need to download it and install. But you need to be attentive, because from how you secure your smartphone, it will directly depend on the quality of its work. For example, many of those who independently reflash Siaomi's gadget, like an unofficial Russian firmware for Xiaomi Redmi 3, where some additions are made to the main functional package. True, you must be sure that you downloaded high-quality firmware and adhered to all the rules for its installation. Otherwise, even putting the original program, you risk harvesting the phone.

In any case, whatever the firmware you have decided to put, even nominally best program Downloads and set under your responsibility. For further work of the gadget, it is not responsible for any manufacturer nor the software developer.

Today we will talk about how the Xiaomi Redmi flashing is performed correctly. 3. Follow these recommendations, and the result with a high probability will be good.

Download Miflash.

To install any new firmware, you need to initially download the program to the computer. Only after that, on the same computer, I download and the software version of the phone you have chosen.

You can download the global version of the firmware on the official website. If you want to install a Russian-speaking modified version, then check that the supplement in the form of the Russian language was the only difference from the official version of the software. A simple principle works here: the more changes, the greater the chances of the occurrence of bugs during the system operation.

The firmware replacement is always in the loader mode ( Download Mode.), in which you need to translate your phone before starting work. The transition to the bootloader mode is familiar with the mode of increasing the volume when the gadget is turned on. There you will see the inscriptions, mostly in Chinese, but the download is in English, like FastBoot.

Installation of firmware

Next, you need to connect the smartphone to the computer through uSB cable. The device must be detected in the MiFlash program. As a rule, it does not see his system immediately, because in the program window, click "Update". If everything is successful, and the phone is recognized by the system, we begin to flash it. For this:

  • Indicate in the Miflash path to the downloaded firmware;
  • Press the "Flash" button;
  • We are waiting until the new software is installed.

When the procedure is completed, reboot the gadget. If everything went successfully, you will see that on Xiaomi Redmi 3 firmware has changed, and you need to install the primary user settings.

Now you know how to flash Xiaomi Redmi 3 and how to update the irrelevant software. But you must adhere to the following recommendations in order to avoid unpleasant consequences:

  • You can reinstall the firmware unlimited number of times, even more than three per year, but make sure that it is minimally different from the official;
  • The third generation of Smartphones Xiaomi and the note model, including, often has a blocked loader. If it prevents you from making changes to the system, send an unlock request on the official website;
  • Before installing the new firmware, be sure to copy all personal data from the phone to a safe place, because they will be deleted;
  • Sometimes file software For the phone may not be loaded, and the main reason becomes the incorrect recognition of the smartphone with a computer. He can see the gadget only as a drive of information, not a phone. Therefore, change the connection type, and everything will turn out.

The theme of the firmware of the Xiaomi Mi Router router is very relevant for several reasons. The main thing is that all its interface in Chinese without any alternative. Therefore, in order to more or less understand what is written in the stock firmware, you need to install an additional extension to the browser. You can use, but uncomfortable. It would seem what these troubles are? Buy yourself another router with Russian localization and use. But bribes low cost at large technical indicators and functional opportunities Router. Analogues from other manufacturers sold here are per thousand and more rubles more expensive.

What are the options?

Constantly use the Chinese version, as you understand, it is impossible. So I decided to do this guidein which I will talk about two possibilities of the firmware of the router:

  • On official English
  • On the version of Padavan, or ASUS

This instruction is suitable for all models with a USB port - the Xiaomi Mi Router 3 firmware occurs just like MINI.

Official firmware router Xiaomi Mi WiFi 3 into English

So - how to translate Xiaomi Router 3 into English and no longer bother with constant with these endless spids.

The procedure is simple:

  • Download the English firmware Xiaomi
  • Download it to the router
  • Re-set up already in the English version

Xiaomi Mi WiFi Router router firmware from Padavan for ASUS

Another decision chinese Language In the control panel - install the custom version of the firmware on the Xiaomi router. The most successful today is the Padavan firmware, or as it is also called from ASUS by the name of the company for which it was originally done. The installation process is not the easiest, but if you do everything right, it will work out without any problems if you even know how to use the computer a little. Therefore, in this article, I tried to set out the entire process of updating on the router as much as possible on the example of the Xiaomi Mini model for your convenience.

To achieve the end result, we will need to flash Xiaomi Mi Router several times:

  • Set original firmware Xiaomi for developers
  • Install the Pandora firmware
  • Install asus firmware

Firmware for developers

Let's start. First of all, we go to the Xiaomi download page in the "ROM" tab and download the "ROM FOR" package for your model (Mini, 3, 3C, 3G, etc.) from the right column is the official version of software for developers. With it, we will be able to control the deep firmware of the router.

Next, go to the adjustment of the router at the address, in the section "General Settings\u003e System Condition" and select the downloaded file for the firmware. In my screenshots, you will see the translated interface pages through the built-in in Chrome Google Translator - So use the stock firmware more convenient. When working for convenience, use the cable connection of the computer to the Xiaomi router - it will not be necessary to connect to it at each reboot to it.

Refracting the router is occurring - at this time it cannot be turned off from meals.

Download the necessary files and programs

After restarting the router, again, configure it to connect to the Internet from your provider and go to the repository of the router club, where the craftsmen regularly lay out fresh firmware Padavan and not only in several different routers. Scroll down the pages and go to the folder with the last date.

In this folder we find another one - the XRM_BASE, it lies in it need firmware From Asus, download it to your computer.

IN personal Cabinet Xiaomi Mi Router find the number of your account - it is to the right of the menu next to the profile photo.

Login will have "root" - the password is individual.

Press the button with the hieroglyphs to the right of the password and then again in the pop-up window, also the right button - and download the file to connect SSH protocol To Xiaomi Mi Router.

It must be placed on the pure, formatted in the FAT32 flash drive of 4 to 8 GB.

Finally, the last thing you need to download the software package from our storage for aSUS firmware.

Firmware from Pandora

We proceed to the firmware itself. We take out the power cable from our router, take the USB flash drive and insert it into the USB connector on the Xiaomi router.
Next, clamp the "RESET" button and insert the electrical power cable. We wait until the LED flashes in yellow and let go of the "Reset" button. If everything is fine, the LED will change the color to blue. If it becomes red, repeat all manipulations with a flash drive and a router first.

After that, run from the same archive the HFS.exe program from the same archive and add a Pandorabox.bin file to it. it virtual serverwhich we run on the computer and from which it will firm the firmware on the router.

The next step is running the Putty.exe program from the same archive is an SSH client that will allow you to connect to the "insides" of Xiaomi. Drive in the address bar of the IP of the Router - 192.168.31.1. The remaining values \u200b\u200bare left as it is - and click the "Open" button.

A new dialog box opens, where we will first be asked to enter a login and password from the router - remember the information we received in your account on the Xiaomi website. Login - "Root"

and the password that the site issued you. When entering the password, the characters will not be displayed, so do not make a mistake. With a successful connection, a greeting from the Chinese will appear.

Next, drive the team " cD / TMP."- To get to a folder with temporal router files.
After that give the team " wGET link_Name_File_Program_hfs.exe.". In my case, it looks like "Wget http://192.168.151.1/pandorabox.bin"

Next, it is necessary to determine wherever it is in your particular device to install the firmware. This is done by the team " cAT / PROC / MTD". After it, a list appears in which you need to find one of the values \u200b\u200b- "Firmware", "OS1" or "FirmwareStub". There will be exactly one of them that we will use. I fell "OS1"

Now we carry out the team that will save our router to the version from Pandora:

mTD -R WRITE /TMP/pandorabox.bin OS1

Instead of OS1, as you understand, you can have Firmware or FirmwareStub

The router will start flashing, after which it will reboot.

Xiaomi Firmware from Asus (Padavan)

Now that Pandora rolled, run again HFS.exe and add the ASUS firmware file in it - the one that has downloaded at the very beginning from the RouterClub repository.

Downloaded. Now restart the PUTTY.EXE program again and connect again to the router, now on a new IP, which is set in new firmware — 192.168.1.1

Here we need to be updated to log in, for this we use the "root" login, the "admin" password.
Next, go to the catalog of the team again. cD / TMP."And pour into it the firmware firmware from Padavan - ASUS -" wget http://192.168.1.151/naping_file.trx"- The link again take from the HFS program.

After that, roll the firmware by the team " mTD -R WRITE /TMP/Nap_TRX FIRMWARE"- Note, here you already use the" Firmware "command at the end.

And we are waiting for the reboot of the router, after which in the browser, we recruit it IP - 192.168.1.1, for which we will get into the admin. For authorization, use a pair of Admin-Admin login password. To connect to a WiFi router to the Router Club network, use the "1234567890" password.

The award of our long work will be a new administrator with many additional featureswhich was not in the stock firmware. For example, a connection feature will now be available. mobile modems And the distribution of guest wiFi network At the frequency of 5 GHz, and this is only the most minimum changes that have occurred.

I hope you, too, everything turned out!

For greater visibility, you give two video guides that step by step show the whole process. By the way, installing Podovan firmware on Xiaomi Mi Wi-Fi Router 3 and 3G has features from Mini - pay attention to it!

How to return the official firmware on the Xiaomi Mi Router 3 router?

I used the Xiaomi router long enough on different firmware, but for many blog readers, the process of installing a third-party version is too complicated, so more often I still ask questions about how to work with Xiaomi routers in ordinary official version Administa. Therefore, I decided to return everything back and roll back the device to the original Chinese version to create a series of articles about the adjustment of the router, which is called, "out of the box."

Of course, I will share with you my experience, how to roll back from custom firmware to official Xiaomi..
So, for starters, we go for Xiaomi routers. Here, too, everything will be in Chinese, so the last time we will use the browser translator built into Google Chrome..

After the page is readable, switch to the "ROM" tab to appear a list of routers to which there is a firmware.
We find our model in it and download any of the two versions of the software - Stable or Developer

The file will have some kind of name - we rename it in

After that, I throw a firmware file Miwifi.bin on it - in the very root and so that nothing else was on it.

  • disconnect the router from the power cable
  • insert a USB flash drive in its USB port
  • click the RESET pin pin
  • and at the same time with the joined button plug the power cord back
  • after 5-10 seconds, when the orange light flies, let go of the reset button

At the end of January 2018, Xiaomi Mi 3 and Mi 4 smartphones finally received an update to a stable version of the global MIUI 9.2 Global Stable. For devices, the latter immediately became available. actual version "9.2". The firmware sent through OTA received the number v9.2.2.0.mxdmiek.

Recall that Smartphones Xiaomi 3 / Mi 4 were supposed to be updated in December 2017, as, according to a schedule of a stable nine, they hit the third stage. Delay with the advent of the update, the developers decided to compensate for the fact that they began to send the firmware on the basis new version MIUI 9.2.

MI 3/4 received update MIUI 9.2.2.0

The only unpleasant nuance, which will upset the owners of Xiaomi 4 and Mi 3, is that the update is based on an outdated Android operating system 6.0.1 (MMB29m).

The MarshMallow version itself in 2018 can be called morally outdated, despite. It is also worth considering the fact that the majority work on the OS is not lower than Nougat (7.0).

I would like that the developers focused on updating operating system. Although the chances of what smartphone Xiaomi. Mi 4 or Mi 3 will receive Android Oreo close to zero. The devices themselves are released in 2013 and 2014.

Download v9.2.2.0.mxdmiek.

The update will fly through OTA within a month. However, if you did not receive a notification after two weeks, we recommend downloading an official release from the site and set manually.

Additionally about the firmware:

  • Security patch from 2017-06-01.
  • Kernel - MPSS.DI.4.0-EAA9D90.

FastBoot.

Recovery.

Archive size - 752 megabytes.

Compared to the size of updates, where the size of the firmware takes two times more space.

What's new?

Like any Xiaomi smartphone, updated to the new version of the MIUI graphic shell, the devices received an impressive list of changes that are almost similar from the lists of recent weekly updates.

Dear readers, if among you there are a few owners of classic MI 4 or MI 3, share, please, with your impressions and leave reviews about Miui 9.2.2.0.mxdmiek. It can help other users with solving their problems.
