Despite the fact that the Xiaomi Mi 10 is one of Xiaomi’s high-end, the update with Android 11 continues to resist for this terminal. Some units in Europe and Spain are still clinging to Android 10 together with MIUI 12, which has a close relationship with Xiaomi’s update program, where it progressively sends the OTA update to the devices.
The Xiaomi forums do not stop filling with new complaints from users who wonder when it will be the turn for their Xiaomi Mi 10 to be updated with Android 11. This is not something new because in more terminals of the Redmi series the problem it had appeared, although it had not happened in high-end terminals for which only a year has passed since the launch.
Solutions to have Android 11 on the Xiaomi Mi 10
Faced with waiting times that already far exceed the plans set for the month of December 2020, it is time to consider making war on our own and try to update the Mi 10 manually to Android 11 . This process is not as complex in Xiaomi as in other terminals and for them a solution to assess.
In any case, we must make a backup copy in Xiaomi before entering this process, as well as save the photos, videos and files in another memory unit that is not the mobile to avoid losing the data in this process. It will not be necessary to complicate, because the options that we are going to show you are Xiaomi own and do not affect the system beyond what is an update.
Force update from mobile
From the device itself we can update the mobile to Android 11 . We just have to prepare with the steps that we have shown you before and then download the file with the ROM we need from the mobile. From here you can download the ROM for the global Mi 10 with Android 11 that some users have already received, worse in our case it resists.
- Then we will have to access the mobile Settings and tap on “About the phone”.
- Once inside we will access the MIUI button.
- We will have to repeatedly touch on the MIUI logo until we see the message on the screen that activates the extra functions.
- And to continue we touch on the three points, choosing “Select update package”.
- Among the files we will have to choose the ROM that we have previously downloaded and proceed to install it.
My Flash helps us get Android 11 with the computer
If we prefer to use the computer, we will have to use My Flash to update the mobile to Android 11. In this case the steps are similar, since we have to start by getting Mi Flash from the official website and access the compressed folder to double-click the executable named XiaoMiFlash. Upon completion of the process, we can start the process:
- We connect the Xiaomi Mi 10 to the computer through the USB or USB Type C cable.
- Now we must press and hold the power and volume down buttons until Mitu appears.
- It is time to download the ROM of the Mi 10 that we are going to install on the computer.
- We touch on the My Flash screen on select to choose the file and then we touch refresh to choose our mobile.
- We finally click on flash and let it do the work.
Once completed, the mobile will restart and once turned on we can enjoy it with Android 11 on the Mi 10 . It is possible that as soon as we turn it on, we will skip an update that we can install without fear, since it will be the security patches.
