Install MIUI 11 Beta on any Xiaomi phone

Want to install the MIUI 11 Beta on your Xiaomi phone? We will show you how to update older phones to the MIUI 11 software or if you want to downgrade to MIUI 11 from a newer version. You can install the MIUI 11 Beta from China since the global Beta is permanently discontinued. Phones that do not have a Chinese launch won’t have a Beta for MIUI 11, so this method will not work. Note that this method doesn’t need any root access. You don’t have to wipe your phone, either.
