The Mi Note (codename: virgo) comes with two main firmware versions:
- China ROM: Designed for the Chinese market, it supports only English and Chinese and does not include Google Services.
- Global / EEA / India ROM: Made for international users, it supports multiple languages, includes Google Services, and removes Chinese apps. It can also be installed on the China version if the bootloader is unlocked.
Additionally, the device has Stable MIUI (for a stable experience) and Developer MIUI (for early access to new features).
For Fastboot ROM versions you can use Mi Flash to flash via EDL and Fastboot modes. Driver for Qualcomm and MTK CPU, Fastboot you can download at this link

- MIUI 9 on your device will be updated to its stable version. It's better than the Developer ROM you're using right now in terms of stability and productivity. However, here are a few points you should pay attention to:
- 1. Root access will be turned off automatically after you update. (And nothing will change if you haven't been using it in the first place). If the apps you use frequently need Root access, think whether you should choose not to update your device.
- 2. Stable ROM outperforms the Developer ROM in terms of stability and productivity. Moreover, it offers additional features (e.g., App vault) which were not available before. Note: Some new features might not be available due to compatibility or other reasons, but this wouldn't affect your overall user experience.
- 3. Your data won't be affected by this update. We still recommend to back up all important items to Mi Cloud or your computer before you start updating to avoid possible data loss due to abnormalities and unexpected errors.
- 4. Automatic updates will be turned off after this update. For next update, go to Settings > About phone > System update, and tap "Check for updates".
